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.
