       On Monday 17th October, We started the class by "extensive reading". The teacher asked about ''what is the extensive reading?" and do you often read in English for your private study?"

     Next, I did pre-reading 2. It was about how useful is reading alone in developing the language skills?. The teacher also searched the words and we repeat the sound.

Extensive : covering a large area,having a great range.
Develop : to grow or change into more advanced,larger,or stronger from.
Development : the process in which someone or something grows or changes and becomes more advanced.
Developing : A developing country or area of the world is poorer and has less advanced industries, especially in Africa, Latin America, or Asia

      After that, we learned about " research". Me and my friends wrote the words the words on the whiteboard and she told us to read the topic "simply read" and write the summaries of each paragraphs.

       Summarizing of each paragraphs was very difficult for me because I didn't get this point enough. But I solve this problem by talk with my friends about this topic and I also found that the comprehension exercise was easy for me.

      I used the  previewing, finding references, and making inferences for reading the text in this class.

      On Monday 10th October, We learned about "scanning" in the class. Teacher began the class by asking us about 'what is scanning' and 'how to read scanning. She gave us the exercise in the handout and she told me to read by using scanning skill ( read quickly ).
      I didn't read every words in exercise in the handout but I just focus on the important points and keywords on this exercise.
      By this activity, I did a lot of exercises :
Exercise 3 - The telephone listings.
Exercise 4 - The house advertisements
Exercise 5 - The job advertisement.
Exercise 6 - The flight and airfare schedules.
Exercise 7 - The TV programs.
Exercise 8 - The news story.
Exercise 9 - The biography.

      About this class, Scanning skill is very easy for me because I like to read fast and scanning the word I had never knew it before. I used scanning skill to do the exercise and learn.

   On 2nd Monday, Teacher continues taught us about "West meets East" form last week that we learn.
Then, Me and my friends were talked about "What products, celebrities, and food from other countries do you like?"

    Next, I did the vocabulary from focus 1 and learned grammar by using "like" and "such as"
    After that, we read the text "Expat in Asia". Before that I did some predicting.

1. Why did Michael come to Asia?
    - Some friend recommenced it to me.
2. Why does Michael choose to stay in Taiwan?
    - He enjoys his life here and he feels like it in his new home.
3. What is one of Taiwan's greatest strengths?
    - The people never give up and trying to make their lives better.

      After I discussed with my friends about this story we did the referring activity. I think the predicting activity was easy for me.

      I found a lot of difficult words but I solve it by searching the word in dictionary and asking my friends.

      I used the guessing the meaning of words, finding references, and predicting for reading the text form this class.

      On 26th Monday, we had mid-term test. I think It was very exciting and I felt good after I finished it. After that the teacher continue taught about hair style on the projector. We did the exercise and identified the facts. After that the teacher assigned the homework on blog that was about "Your university has decided that all female students should have long hair and all male students should have crew cut. Write to the student's magazine with your opinion."
 - I think this rule is not good for student because they use their abilities to learn not just the hair or necessary especially in Thailand.

      Next, we began to learn about the new lesson "West meets East". It's was about the culture of Asian and American. She started to talk about something on the projector such as martial arts, McDonald's, Happy Meals,etc.
   

      She told us to fine the definitions of these words on the whiteboard and assigned the work to us by doing pre-reading 1,2

      In this class I founds many difficult words that I had never seen before but I tried to fine the meaning in the online dictionary and asked my friends about these words.

      I used the skimming, scanning, and guessing the meaning the words in this class for this week.
