Cause & Effect

      20 March 2017, the teacher gave us the handouts, it was about “Cause & Effect” and then she asked to do us exercises by ourselves because she had to attend the opening ceremony. 

In the first exercise we had to read the text and then answered what is cause and effect. After that, the teacher came back and gave us the corrective feedback.

Next, she asked us to keep doing another exercises. The second exercise, we had to read the text and circle the cause and effect markers and look for the specific cause and effect diagrams, the first item of this exercise was pretty hard but the second item was very easy so i did all correct. The third exercise, we had to read the text and answer the following questions and on the last exercise, we had to complete each sentence by choosing the best ending.When we finished doing all exercises , the teacher  gave us the corrective feedback. 

In my opinion, the lesson of today was pretty easy because there were not much information and the exercises were pretty easy for me. I had lots of fun in class. See you next week. Byeeee

comparative & contrast (continued)

         13 march 2017, first of all teacher let us checked the answer of the exercise that she assigned as homework last week with friends. It was about do men and women speak the same language then, the teacher gave us the corrective feedback. While she was giving us the corrective feedback of the exercise, she also searched some vocabularies on dictionary online to teach us how to pronounce it correctly.

There were

Inflict (v)  /ɪnˈflɪkt/  to force someone to experience something very unpleasant:

Fatality (n.) /fəˈtæl.ə.ti/ a death caused by an accident or by violence, or someone who has died in either of these ways:

Destruction (n.) /dɪˈstrʌk.ʃən/ the act of destroying something, or the fact of being destroyed:

And then she asked us to do exercises on the handouts. After finished studying, we had a midterm test. It was easier than the quiz that I ever did. I almost could answer all questions. I hope my score will be good.

Task

Do you agree with Tannen’s view on the subject? Be specific about your point of disagreement.

- I agree with Tannen’s view that men and women use the different language because men and women are raised to see the world indifferently way. However, I disagree with the view that said women rarely tell jokes in public because I have seen many girls telling jokes in the public.

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, in Thailand men are also usually tell jokes that make fun of other people but women tell jokes about some foolish or silly things that they had done.

-Yes, Thai men also will disagree strongly with other people in public but women will try to avoid open argument in conversations. 

In my opinion, the lesson of today was pretty difficult for me because there were many difficult words that i didn't know the meaning but i could solve problem by asking my friends, teacher and finding it on dictionary. However, the text of this lesson were very interesting so that made me want to read it even there were many difficult words. See you next week. Byeeeee

Procedure (continued) & comparative and contrast

          

        6 March 2017, the teacher asked us to talk with friends about what did we do on the weekends and then she asked us to read the text on our handouts, it was about how to use toaster. After finished reading, we had to do the following exercise. Next, when we all finished doing the exercises, the teacher gave us the corrective feedback.

After that, she taught us about the purpose of procedure, types of procedure texts, text organization and language features.Next, the teacher showed us some pictures and asked us how are they different and then she explained us about what is comparison and contrast.

After that, she asked us to do the following exercise; it was about comparison between the high context culture students and the low context culture students.Next, the teacher gave us the handout, it was about comparison and contrast, then she asked us to read the text on the handouts and do the following exercise, it was about completing the diagram then, she asked us to read the second text,  men and women : do they speak the same language?  When we all finished reading, the time was up so teacher assigned us homework to read the second text that we had read again and do the following exercises.

In my opinion, I think the lesson of today is pretty hard because I had to read a lot of texts and there are many words that I didn’t know the meaning  but I could solve the problem by asking my friends, teacher and, finding it on dictionary online. Moreover, the texts in the lesson were not so interesting so it was hard for me to concentrate on reading. However the exercise part: completing the diagram was very good. See you guys next week. Byeeee.

Procedure

        20 February 2017, The teacher asked us  if we knew how to cook and then let us talked with friends about the recipe of the meal that we could cooked. I talked my friends, Bunyarat and Suwaporn . We exchanged our recipe and how to cook the food that we chose. Mine was Fried eggs because I don’t cook much so I knew only simple menu. Bunyarat talked about Fried rice and Suwaporn talked about Rice topped with stir-fried pork and basil. 

Next, the teacher assigned us to do the video clip about cooking food in a group of 2 people. She asked us to choose any foods that we want to cook and record it. She said that we had to tell also about ingredients and method.

After that, the teacher showed us the cooking video by Jamie Oliver. It was how to cook the perfect omelet. And she asked us to jot down the words that we heard from the video. By the way I really love Jamie Oliver’s accent. I think that would watch his video more to practice my English skills.

Next, the teacher showed us the recipe of Risotto and explained about it. Then, she gave us the handouts of the unit 4, it was about procedure. She explained us about what is produce and then she asked us to do the exercise. It was about matching each sentence with the correct picture.

After then, she asked us to organize the table for doing a quiz.

In my opinion, I think the lesson of today is pretty hard because I didn’t know much vocabulary about cooking but I could solve the problem by asking my friends and teacher and, finding it on dictionary online. The quiz was very difficult for me. I didn’t leave any blank but I was not very sure about my answers. After finished doing quiz, I found out that I did a lot of mistakes by talking with friends.T___________T 

I hope that I will do better in midterm exam. Bye

Narrative

                    29 January 2017, today is Sunday. Intact, we had no class today but as the class on 13 February will be canceled so the teacher decided to make up class today. When the class started the teacher asked us to talk with friends about the story that we had read last week.

After that she read and explained us the part one of the story the she asked us to make a group of 5 people and do the exercise, it was about adding 3 fairly short sentences to complete the summary.

And this was our summarized:

Kylie feels left out from her mother and Philip’s activities. She becomes interested in the chickens in the yard. Somehow her secret helps her to feel less lonely. She finds the second egg and then finds out where others are being laid by an unhealthy-looking hen. After that Philip shows her the bore well that she is not allowed to lift the lid but because her curious, she brings the photo album with her and goes down into the well. She looks at the photo. It reminds her about how the photo was taken. She remembers that her father was the photographer so there are only her mom and Kylie in the picture. The she asked us to send the representative of each group to read the summary in front of the class and I was the representative.

Next, she read and explained us the part two of the story. After finished reading she asked us to do the exercise, it was about put sentences in the right order to produce a summary of the second of the story.

After that, we did another exercise, it was about choose one of the verbs and complete each sentence.When we all finished the exercises, my friend in class named Loychoy confused about the story so he asked the teacher to explain it again.

Next, we did another exercise. The teacher asked us to work in a group of 2 people in this time and then we had to choose the three themes which us think are the most important and write each one on a slip of paper. After that we all had to put all this papers together and then find out which three were chosen often by the class.

The three themes that were chosen often by the class were

- neglect

- problems associated with contemporary family life

- children’s rights

After that, the teacher asked us to draw the diagram, it was the one that we already did last week but this time we had to use the information of Kylie, a girl in the story that we read. When we all finished doing this exercise, the time was up so she asked us to do the rest of the exercise as homework.

For me, I thought the lesson of today was pretty easy because there were not much difficult words  however, the exercise were pretty hard but I solved the problem by asking the teacher and asked my friends and also finding the difficult words in dictionary. I had a lot of fun in class. See you next tomorrow . Good byeeeee.
