Natural Disaster

www.gotoknow.org

Today I started to the lesson by watching the clip video about Tsunami in Japan. Then we made group with 5 people, made 10 sentences from clip and presented. And then the teacher taught the natural disaster words such as Mudslides Hurricane. We read natural disaster news story.

- Myanmar flooding affects one million              

- Typhoon Soudelor hits China with deaths, floods and mudslides

- Landslides kill 9 in Doti and Gulmi districts of Nepal

We answered the question and summarized the story.

I think that making sentences and telling story are easy because I used the words by myself.

I think the words in news was difficult so I guessed the words.

I used skimming, scanning and predicting skills in reading the news.

At present natural disaster is increasing due to global warming so everybody should reduce warming.

A healthy diets?

The teacher had assigned homework last week so today the students took 10 foods photo. And then we made group with 4 people. The teacher told us think about our food that it is healthy or unhealthy foods and the reasons.

Example

It's chicken fried chicken. It's unhealthy food because it has a lot of fat. 

We discussed about this topic “Weekly Healthy Diet Planner”. I think this work was good. It made me think that I should think a lot before I eat foods. It is important for body.

We practiced exercise in worksheet. We read Westerners turn to a Japanese diet and answered the questions.

I think that the words in story was easy because it had keywords and I could guess.

I think explaining reason of the food was difficult.
So I asked my friends and searched the internet.

I used scanning skill to find the keywords.

I think that this lesson made me realize eating more.
I should eat a healthy food more.

The first, teacher introduced this subject by describing course syllabus and advice 6 rules in studying.

Then we started studying by this question "What strategies do you use in reading?"
My friends answered previewing, scanning,  skimming, restatement, guessing the words meaning from the context, predicting, making inferences, finding references.

And then we studied lesson 1 "A healthy diet". We practiced the exercise such as choose the foods healthy or unhealthy and put in the blank.

Finally, teacher assigned homework that is make blog and print 10 photos for next week.

I think the easy of this week was the food words because I could answer the question in  exercise.

I think some words was difficult and I spent a long time in translating.
So, I would search dictionary and tried to guess the word for solve the problem.

In the texts today. First, I used scanning and skimming. And I used predicting the words and sentences that I didn't understand. So it made me understand better.

I realized choosing to eat a healthy food such as fruit, fresh vegetable and oily fish. It made me no fat and strong body.
