Learning Reflection

Feeling towards the English language subjects. I think learning English is hard for me because I'm not the expert, but I have been studying with professors for the first time. I think English is difficult not much. I intend to learn to master the homework she ordered it made me learn English knew more, but the most important thing in learning English is the intention and diligent homework early, school teachers teaching teachers is a man who can teach English. Have fun and don't stress to students that learning does not stress to learn English. I love the teacher very much.

Problem and Solution

 I learned about Problem and Solution with Dr. Usa. She explained that it is a pattern of organization where information in a passage expressed as a dilemma or concerning issue (a problem) and something that was, can be, or should be done remedy this issue (solution or attempted solution). After that, she gave the exercises for students. We had to circle the problem markers and highlight the solution markers from the texts. I think if it had a marker, it was easy for me. However, I had to write the main idea and create diagram too. I believe I learn many things from this class.

Exemplification

The teacher explained the texts and assigned us to write the answers of text 1 on the board. Then she gave us the answers of text 2. After that she explanied exemplification. Next she assigned us to read text 1 and complete the diagram and highlight the exemplification markers. Moreover we read text 2 and matched the place with the activities. In addition, she assigned us to do text 3 and 4 for homework. Finally we watched our classmates' vdo. Nothing is easy. Understanding the texts are quite difficult because there are many difficult words. I will find the meaning of the unknown words. I quite worried with this class.

Definition and Classification

On Monday, I studied about definition and classification with Dr. Usa. I was confuse because it very difficult that you will found the types of the main idea. I think it wills easy if it had a discourse marker. It can help me know about the next types. About the exercise, I had to find the classification makers and the definition markers. Then, I had to use them for the diagram. If I did the diagram before, it was easy to understand what the text wants. Then, I had text 2 about Species of whales. I was just to know that whales had many species. And the name of the each species was very difficult to read. So, I have to hear the teacher read before. It was a good way for me.

Cause and Effect

I had a Discourse Approach in Reading. We learned "Cause and Effect". First, the teacher explained the text. Then, she assigned us to read the text and complete the diagram. Next, we circled the cause and effect markers, highlighted each cause and underlined each effect in the sentences. In addition, we circled the cause and effect markers and completed the diagram. Moreover, we read the text  "The Effect of Stress" and answered the questions. Finally, we watched my friends' VDO of recipe. This lesson is quite difficult. I will read it again. I quite worried with this lesson.

Comparison and Contrast

 I had a quiz about 1 hour. After we did the quiz the teacher gave the answers of text 2. Next she read and explained the text "Men and Women: Do They Speak the Same Language?". Then she gave the answers of the text. Finally we watched Kylie's secret of my classmates. Understanding the text is quite easy. Nothing is too difficult. I enjoyed this lesson.

Comparison and Contrast

I learned about “Compare and Contrast” in a Discourse Approach in Reading class again. The teacher taught about Men and Women: Do they speak the same language? Such as the women used language to establish connection and intimacy while the men used language to show independence, status, and show power. And sometime, the women usually talked about fashion more than jokes, but the men like to talk about jokes and sports. It’s really different. 


I think that they speak the different language because they have the different activities. Finally, I believe that they can communicate, if they try to understand each other.
