Final Blog

Today is the last day of Language Development class.

1.
  I think BBC World News website is the most helpful website when I learn English in this class. Because this website deal in many hot news. I like reading news paper, so this website useful for me to understand what happen in the world the present. Actually, I learned many hot news and enjoy to learn English.
 THis website also has many section which is reading, listening, grammer and so on. I can chose section which i learn. There are english translation and vocabulary list, so it is very useful for me!!

2.
 I think reading is the most improve section in this semester. Because I was studied mainly reading. Every class I was studied about reading, so I think my reading skill is improve. Of corce, when I read difficult reading text, I couldn't understand well. But when I read something, I almost understand the outline of the story. The more I read story, the more understand what it say. I was read many story, so I learned that the first sentence of each paragraph is important!!
 In reading, I found that grammar and vocabulary are important to reading. So next semester, I want to learn grammar and vocabulary.

3.
 My ability to work in an independent study is so-so. Because I can an independent study, but absolutely I tend to study favorite section. Every class I was studied about reading or listening in spite of my weak point are grammar and vocabulary. I was avoided weak section. Of corce an independent study can study about own pace and  can choose section what you want to study, so it's interesting. But, it was worried about lean own favorite section.So if I was estimate my independent study 1 to 5, my estimation is 3.
 Class atmosphere is very good. Because everyone consentrate to own study.

a.
 Today is my last day of language development class. I felt little sad.
 Today I was studied about vocabulary, listening and grammar. I used mainly Net Academy 2. First, I used "Dojyo" unit 49-60. I reviewed many vocabulary. It took about 20 minute. Second, I was used  listening section on Net Academy 2. I was studied unit 4 and unit 10. It took about 40 minute. Finally, I was studied about grammar on ESL website. It took about 10 minute.

b.
 Net Academy 2 is interesting website. This semester I used this website many time. There are vocabulary, listening and reading. Listening and reading section has sound, vocabulary list and sentence which is English and Japanese. When I was studied English, these are very useful and good for study!!

c.
 First, I was studied about vocabulary. Today I found my weak point of vocabulary. That is a point of the compass and month. These are unclear in my head. Today I can reviewed many words. Second, I was studied about listening. Today I used unit 4 and unit 10. There are level 4 and 5, so it is little difficult for me. But today is the last day of this class, so I trying my interest. Unit 4 is about "How to decrease your diet". A nutritionist said that try drinking a glass of water before every meal. Also she said try to taking smaller bites and chewing slowly. These can  make you feel fuller. This story is very interesting. I will try these advice. Unit 10 is about Harry Potter. This is Daniel Radcliffe's interview. He said he still can identify with the issue his character is facing. Harry and Radcliffe are same age, so they feels same feeling like every other teenager, for example anger or loneliness. So when he act Harry, Radcliffe exaggerated his own feelings. I love Harry Potter, so this story is interesting for me. Finally, I was studied about grammar. I used ESL website, but this website is little difficult for me.

d.
 Today I used ELT website and studied about grammar. This site is little difficult for me, so today I gave up. But I think ELT website is very good for study. So I would like to use this website, and I want to improve my grammar skill.

a.
 Last class I was studied about reading and listening on BBC world news website. It took about 40 minute. After that, I was used Net Academy 2. I was studied about listening's advance stage. It took about 20 minute.

b.
 BBC world news website is fantastic!! This website is one of my favorite website. On this website, we can know many world news just a one click. There are many topic, so we have many choices. Also there are listening text, reading text, grammar, comuc, vedeo, music and so on.

c.
 Last class I used mainly BBC world news website.
 First, I watched video about Christmas tree. The title is "Are councils cutting spending on Christmas decorations". This massage is let's keep cost down, plese use same Christmas decoration every year.
Second, I listened Christmas carol, and I read about it. The title is "What is a Christmas carol". I don't know about Christmas carol well, so I understood this mean by this story. Third, I watched video about puppies. The title is "Dog gives birth to 17 puppies in Germany". A dog which is Rhodesian Ridgeback in Germany has given dirth to 17 puppies. It's a unusual in that all were born naturally and all have survived. It's fantastic!!! The puppies are very cute. After that, I read story about Christmas. The title is "Christmas around the world". some people went to Australia in Christmas. They enjoy a summer Christmas day!! It's interesting. I think I want to spend summer Christmas Day in one day. Finally, I was read about movie. The title is "Michael Sheen stars in Tron:Legacy". In this film, welsh actor Micheal Sheen adding a touch of glam rock style to the proceedings. I was watched this movie 2 weeks ago. So, I was interested in this story. Of corce Tron:Legacy is very powerful movie. But I think this movie is boring.

d.
