Natural Disaster (Continue)

      On 28th Sunday, we had made up the class so we were continued studying about " Natural Disaster " from the third week.
      First, we studied by the handout. The teacher told us to read news story about "Japan Earthquake : Tsunami hits north-east" and explain about this news for my friends. And then we was answer the question in the handout. We had using Scanning for answer The question.
After that The teacher told us to write unfamiliar words and find them on English Dictionary. So I used "www.cambridgeenglish.org/" to search these words for this time.

      There are many words I had search for example :
- coolant (n.)/ˈkuː.lənt/
a specially prepared liquid that is used to stop a machine from getting too hot while it is operating
- radioactive (adj.)/ˌreɪ.di.əʊˈæk.tɪv/
having or producing the energy that comes from the breaking up of atoms
- extended (adj.) /ɪkˈsten.dɪd/
long or longer than usual
- magnitude (n.) /ˈmæɡ.nɪ.tʃuːd/​
the large size or importance of something
- devastated (adj.)/ˈdev.ə.steɪ.tɪd/

      About this class I had found a lot of difficult words so I started search these words by using online dictionary from my smartphone. I think this is another good way for learning English by technology and to day I used Previewing, Skimming, Scanning, and Finding references to read for this class.
