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.
