In the text, we learned about teen pregnancies and how to solve the problem were birth control and abstinence. It was the example of this lesson that show us about the discourse marker in the text.

  

According to the lesson, there are many words that use in the texts. Such as ....

❀ Problem marker

- issue     - risk     - concern     - burden     - trouble     - crisis

❀ Solution marker 

- to address

- to answer

- to solve

- to deal with

- to improve

Etc.

We practiced the reading from finding discourse marker in the texts that let us know the genre of the texts and made it easily to the reading and understanding.

We did the exercises and then, checked the answer and discussed with friends. We tried to answer to the teacher about title and main idea of the texts and write the diagram.

It was very difficult for me to find the main idea and the title because I didn't know what was the best for using. So I had to reviewed at home and also it had a homework to do for this lesson.

After the teacher gave the homework about this lesson. Then, it was time to have a quiz. For me, it was difficult, it's always difficult like it was every time. But I thought everything would pass well.

Week 12 : Exemplification

Monday, 10 April 2017

This day was very hot again. The air conditioning didn't work even though it passed for a week. I feel really bored at the weather in the room and it made me couldn't pay attention to the lesson.

This lesson we learned about "Exemplification". It was the new lesson next to "Definition and Classification".

The discourse marker in this lesson such as ...☆ for example
☆ i.e. - that is (to say) ; in other words
☆ for instance
☆ f.e./e.g. - for example
☆ another example of
☆ here are a few examples
☆ specifically

We learned this lesson from the passage in the hand out that the teacher gave. First of all, we had to read the passage and under line the discourse marker. after that, the teacher explained about it. The teacher taught us to find the exemplification in the passage and then wrote it down on the diagram in the hand out. It mad us know and understand more about the exemplification. We had to read three texts and do the exercises in each texts. It was very long time to finish in each exercises.


After finishing the exercises, two groups of the class had to present their cooking video. For me, they did it interesting and fun and everyone in the class liked it.


Even though, the air conditioning didn't work but I enjoyed this day and when I came back home, I reviewed the lesson for understanding more than studying in the class.

Week 11 : Definition & Classification

Monday, 3 April 2017

On this day, I had to told you that it was very hot day. I was hurry to come to the class in time but when I arrived the class, the air conditioning didn't work and it mad me feel edgy. I had to study without any coldness. 
                It was a bad day. :(

When the teacher came to the class, we learned about "Definition and Classification". First, she explained about this lesson that we had to learn about the text that describe the meaning and classifying of something.

After that, we had to do exercises with ourselves and when we fished, we checked the answer with friends and discuss about the answer. Then, some of my friends had to wrote the answer on the white board and the teacher told them what the correct answer.
This lesson we did a lot of exercises and it was not easy for me because some vocabularies was difficult, I had to guess the meaning to try to understand before I searched the meaning in Dictionary online.

This lesson made me classified the discourse marker in each genre and made me knew more about it.

I hope next week the air conditioning will work and I will not feel hot as the same as this time.
