Blog entry no. 5

Topic:  Second Article Mobile Phone

Strategies:
E.g.1: Read how many times try to understand.
      2: Check in the dictionary if I don't know the meaning of the words.


Evaluation:
Example 1 was useful, I reapted reading how many times, Even though  the articles is very much presended but I still found it very difficult to understand the language that they use very academic and techincal.  I believe that the article required the reader to take the time to understand the content, and some chapter must be read and re-read if they are relevant to the reader's situation.
Examle 2 I'd like to check the dictionary when I found some new words, I'd like to read the meaning  to make sure I understand every words It helped me to expand my vocabulary through while I was reading an article.

Reflection:
These two strategies I think I will keep using further on, Much to my relief, the author shows the results of his findings that there is some negative and positive side of using  mobile phone.  In the positive side, you as a user find it very handy when expecting a phone call and instead of staying home and wait all day, you can take your mobile with you anywhere you go, amazing the technology.  In the negative side of using mobile phone, it distracts you when you in classroom listening the lecture while texting at the same time to your mate, Second point you spend your money on credit without worrying about your finances as long as you happy.

"How I use my Reading Skills"

Wednesday, 20, 2011

Blog entry no.4

Source : Text book " PREMIUM B2 Level Wook book"

Title: How I use my Reading Skills.

Strategies:

Example 1: Skimming
              2: Scanning
              3: Guessing words from context

Evaluation:

Example 1 skimming It's helpful when I skim read a paragraph or an article, I do skim read I quickly read through it just to find out the main points.  I shouldn't worry about words I don't understand and I shouldn't reach each sentence slowly and carefully in an attempt to make sure I understand everything.  Example 2 Scanning, when I scan a text, I look through it in order to find the particular words or pieces of information. The key word or idea is and hunt through the text for that word or idea.  I don't need evry word of the text in order. its may help I do highlight or underline the relevant words I found.  Example 3 Guessing words from context another strategy is to break the word down.  Sometime I try to guess the meaning of words using clues in the context.


Reflection:

I think all the strategies are useful for me when I do use my reading skills.
