On Monday 14 March I studied unit 7 "Definition and Classification". I studied the text about the definition markers , classification markers , technical terms , and definitions. The writer used classification to general concepts into a number of different types. Identifying and understanding texts that contain definition and classification would help my academic reading. I studied about examples and explanation.
This was classification of plant kingdom.

between a technical term and its defining noun or noun phrase : __,__. It would help me identify technical terms and meanings.

finally , I studied about skill practice 1 , skill practice 2 , and skill practice 3. I studied about draw a diagram showing
the classification. I thought studied the text about definition markers was easy. But I thought studied about classification markers was difficult. The best way to got into reading was simply to read freely and practiced from the News or novels. This practice helped me develop a feel for writing.
My attitudes towards the lesson was not easy.
