Healthy Diet [ Continue ]

Today , I continued studying text '' Healthy diet ''.  Last week , our teacher asked us to read and conclude this text. She asked some volunteers to discuss and write it on whiteboard. Then, the teacher checked and corrected answers. There are some mistakes about paraphrase. She gave some advices about how to conclude and paraphrase. She read text carefully and paraphrase for us. Moreover, she gave us more vocabularies with which someone is not unfamiliar. Then, we did exercises about the text such as asking the questions with partner. Besides, we studied about present continuous tense and how to add ''-ing ''. Next, we studied text  "Japanese diet'' and did exercises again. She let us write about article our diet -


 ''I think my diet is very greasy. I eat a lot of fried food and meat. I don't  like vegetable. I try not to eat too much oily food because I think I am fat. So, I start eating more healthy food for breakfast. I usually drink yogurt mike instead of fried egg and sausage. For lunchtime, I like eating soup and I have some fruits  dinner. I like watermelon because it's so sweet and makes me fresh. I don't like onion for it's pungent and makes me cry when chopped'' 




The last of period, she let us work in group to interview at food shops or canteens about food and discuss it with PowerPoint. In addition, she assigned us to find news about disaster and come to discuss with partner next week. I thought I loved studying vocabularies because it was easy to remember but I didn't like to paraphrase text because it had to understand and concentrate on the text so much. However, I will train and revise it continually.

Introduction and Healthy Diet

The first subject in the semester was English Reading Strategies. Taught by Asst.Prof.Dr. Usa  Noytim. She explained about course syllabus this subject. After that she divided groups in order that students practiced to speak English. Then, She taught her students about foods. For me I think speaking was easy. Because it is basic of English speaking. And I think main idea was difficult for me. Because I seldom read English passages. So I will practice to capture main idea from English reading books. When I read the text. First, I will skim the text. Second, I will scan the text. Third, I will try to capture the vocabulary that I can translate it. 

Finally,  At the beginning of the class, I felt this subject was very difficult and I thought I may do it not well. But when I started to learn, I know this subject is not the most difficult.  I think the instructor have the most important to motivate in learning. She is kind, good looking and understand the students. So I liked to learn this subject very much.
