Today I've studied the End of course A Discourse Approach in Reading. I practice skills reading for detailed information , reading for specific information , reading for general idea and scanning text ,skimming text , writing main idea, writing the topic sentence.
I studied about narrative and I could identify genre of text and analyse the structure of the text and shared about ideas/opinion after reading the story. I studied about description that I could analyse text organization and identify discourse markers.I studied about procedure and I could rearrange scrambled sentence in a chronological order, write a cohesive procedural text.
I studied about exemplification that I could identify topic and main idea. I studied about problem solving that I could analyse its organization and also I could write the title of the story , the sentence explaining the main idea of passage and write solution and problem.
I thought, studied about recount was very easy. But I thought problem solving was difficult. The best way to get into reading is simply to read freely and practice write main idea from the News or novels. This practice helps me develop a feel for writing. I should learn to read simply by reading a lot at an appropriate level.It could improve my reading skills speaking skills and writing skills. It could build fundamental vocabulary and grammar knowledge. It could provide a very strong foundation on which to build all language skills.
My attitudes towards the lesson was I never feel confident when I was faced with a variety of reading task in and outside of class. Since middle school I realized, that reading, no matter in what language, was one of my weakest subjects in school. Especially academic writing represents always a challenge for me. It was not only time consuming, but also a lot of work. For example, when reading about topics I was not familiar. So I must read a lot of English almost every day for myself.
