Journal (3)

Actually this was the hardest week for me because this is the week before the midterm exam and I tried to focus more on the courses that I have exams in. However, I prepared myself to have some time for practicing some English skills.

I’ve visit the website that I have for reading practice which is http://eslus.com/LESSONS/READING/READ.HTM. I found some lessons is this website that can improve my reading skills. One of these skills is reading speed. There are some stories that I can read to increase my reading speed more and more because her is my weakness. That’s why I have to practice it each week four days at least for two hours. Also, it’s help me to recognizing words quickly and it’s not necessary to know the meaning of the words but just I have to take a general idea about the text.

The most interesting section in this site is speed reading exercises. Which include the text with time and there are some questions that I have to answer in 10 minutes. For me it was very helpful and funny at the same time. The questions are meaning of words, grammar and some general questions.

I hope in the time coming to start doing the practice in different websites and get high levels to develop my skills in reading. Even I have improved some of them but I still needs to word on more than this. This helps me in college in the exams and in my daily out of college.
