Week 10 : Cause and Effect

Monday, 20 March 2017
We started new lesson. It was about "cause and effect". Because the teacher had to attend the opening ceremony so she assigned us to
read the text and did the exercise. And when we finished we discussed about the answer and wait for the teacher.

When the teacher came back she gave us the corrective feedback and explained about the text.
This lesson we learned about how to analyze the text so that it could help us improve our reading skill.

Week 9 : Comparative and Contrast [Continued]

Monday, 13 March 2017

I came to class about 8.15 am. At first, the teacher checked our name and then started continue the lesson about comparative and contrast. We had homework last week so the teacher let us check the answer with friends. It has two topics, "hurricane" and "men and women language".

The teacher complained us about the homework because some of us didn't do it.
After that we read the texts and searched for the definition.
We did the exercise in our handout and after we finished we had a midterm test.
After I finished the test I thought it was easier than the quiz that I had done.
 Homework
Do you agree with Tannen’s view on the subject? Be specific about your point of disagreement.
= For me I agree with Tannen. Because I think men and women use different language. They have their own language to express their idea or feelings.
Are any of Tennen’s point about the differences personalities of men and woman true in your native culture? Explain Do men and women in your native culture use the language the way Tennen claim American men and women do? Give specific examples
= Yes it is. I think that Thai men and women are quite different. They have different ways to show how they feel or think. And I think that some Thai men like challenging to show how he can deal with something.

Week 8 : Procedure [Continue] & Comparative and Contrast


Monday, 6 March 2017

We continued studying the lesson about Procedure. Last week we studied about how to cook, do or make something. But this class we studied how to used the toaster. The teacher told us step by step about how to use the toaster in our handout. Then we did the exercise.



When we finished this lesson, we started new lesson. It was about Comparative and Contrast. This lesson was about comparing two things that similar or different.









We studied and discussed about the differences and the similarities of orange and apple. After that we started to study about " high and low context student". 



High context culture students

- More skill in reading

- Non verbal

- speak less

- Indirect and less explicit

Low context culture students

- Less skill in reading

- Emphasize verbal massage

- Speak more

- Listen less

- Direct and explicit

At last, we did hand out and the teacher answered and explained it. It was quite difficult for me because I didn't know the word to compare. I had to search the meaning from the dictionary online.
