On  Monday 23rd March, 2015.

Classroom in the morning

In the period, I learned about ''Definition and Classification''

When the class started teacher taught about Definition and Classification. First, she explained  us about examples and explanations of Definition and Classification.
Example   Matter is defined as anything that occupies space and has weight.

Explanation   Here a technical term is defined after the verb phrase is defined as...Then, she assigned us to do exercise 1 about find the definition marker, technical terms, and the definitions. Teacher explained us to circle the definition marker, highlight the technical terms, underline the definitions.

After  we finished this exercise teacher assigned us to compare answer with my friend.  After that, she assigned us to do exercise 2 about find the classification marker, and draw a diagram and then, we read text 1 " What is Anthropology?"  and answered the question and complete the diagram.

Different between men and women in Thailand

            In my opinion, different between men and women in Thailand.

I think men and women in Thailand. They have different duty such as, women is housewife has duty about cooking and parenting their baby at home. Men is a pillar of family about working hard. Different in habit of women they speak than men do. women use words of praise like good, wonderful and men usually do not. When speaking, women often try to make the others feel happy than men do, at the same time men have strength and patient than women. Different between men and women in Thailand of emotional women usually attentive with emotional and don't have reason and men is impetuous and spirited. However, The advantages and disadvantages of men and women are different. So, both women and men are should understand and accept each other.        

Cause and Effect (Blog 10)

Cause and Effect

 Classroom in the morning

On Monday  16th March, 2015

Last Monday, I studied   A Discourse Approach in Reading class.
In the period, I learned  about  "Cause and Effect"  
When the class started   teacher told the correct answer and  assigned us to do analyze about exercise "Men and Women : Do They Speak the Same Language?" in Comparison and Contrast.

"The comparison of the language between Men and Women"

In discussing the differences in dictation, consider that women reflect more sentimentality when they speak than men do. Women do not typically use profanities in their speech whereas men do, at the same time women use words of praise like good, excellent and wonderful and men usually do not. When speaking, women often try to make the others feel happy whereas men just want to show how wonderful they themselves are.  The syntactic differentiations between males and females deal with directive speech. Men often use directive phrases such as “do this now” and women will be more indirect saying something like “why don’t we do this for a while?” Women are taught to be more ladylike, and speak gracefully, softly and less forceful.

In the afternoon

We learned about "Cause and Effect".  When the class started   teacher  introduced to the lesson by watching some text  example about "Cause and Effect". After that, Teacher taught about markers of cause and effect for instance cause, outcome, factor, to affect, to lead to etc. Then, teacher  assigned us to did exercise about to find cause and effect in paragraph, teacher explains us to circle the cause and effect  markers, highlight each cause and mark in with a C, underline each effect and mark in with an E.

                                        Example

For  this lesson, finding the cause and effect markers is easy and
finding the cause and effect is difficult for me. I find problems about reading because I can’t understand some vocabulary.
I must use dictionary to find vocabulary and ask my friends.
In this lesson, I feel happy and I like this lesson very much because make me develop oneself in reading skill. I get a lot of knowledge which new vocabulary.

 Last Monday, we had midterm test about Recount,Narratives, Description, and Procedures.  It about read paragraphs and answer the questions.  I think it was difficult because I didn’t known some vocabulary.

After that, when the class started  teacher continued lesson Unit 5 Comparative and Contrast. First, teacher assigned us to shared ideas or answers with partner. Then, Teacher answers homework about each text on the sheet.  Finally, we did exercise about hurricanes.

For this lesson, finding the similarities and differences was very hard because some vocabulary was difficult and I didn’t known some vocabulary. I must use dictionary to find vocabulary and asked my friends. In this period, I felt stress but I will try my best.
