West meets East [ Continue ]

Today, I continued studying text '' West meets East''.  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 paraphrases for us. Moreover, she gave us more vocabularies with which someone is not unfamiliar. After that, Teacher let us to think the questions that we would like interview if we met a foreigner and discussed it to our partner.

The question “If we met a foreigner living in our country,
the questions would we most want to ask him/her?”

•    What’s your name?
•    Where are you from?
•    How do you think about Thai people?
•    How long have you been living in this country ?
•    What do you plan for this trip?
•    Why do you choose to stay in Thailand?
•    What do you like Thai foods?
•    Where do you interested in Thailand?
•    Do you like culture in Thailand?

 

Then I chose only one question to tell our classmates in front of the class.

After that, we did exercises about the text such as asking the questions with partner. Besides, we studied about captured the main idea and inference from the passage.

 

It was difficult for me because some vocabulary was unfamiliar.

I solved problem by search meaning in online dictionary and tried to guess meaning from sentences. That’s it made me feel a little worried with this lesson.

Finally, the teacher assigned us to do all the exercises from unite.
