Journal (5)

Now I’m in the last journal. I have lots of thing to do projects, homework’s and presentations. I have to change my schedule this week because we have 10 days free so I can do everything and prepare myself for the next weeks. Even I feel that I don’t have enough time to all things but I have to work hard in this time to finish what I have to do.

I start this week with reading. I read a new story from my library. In this story there were some questions that I have to answer when I finish reading. It helped me focused more in some important details. I finished this story in 4 hours and I enjoyed reading it a lot. I practiced important skills which are my speed and my focusing in the tasks. Also, I worked a little bet with summarizing skills. After I finish reading this story I tried to memorize some points to write my summary. It was a good practice for me because it helps me change my ideas and work on using new words instead of using the same vocabulary in my writing.

However, the speaking activity that I have done with my friend was something like a dream for me. I was speaking without any stopping, no repeating for the same vocabulary and I was very comfortable with my way of speaking. Then my friend gives me a little feedback. I have the same problem with “it” I don’t know how can I stop say “it” at the end of sentence. She told me to decrease my speed were I have to because sometimes when I start to talk my speed go fast and my ideas come in so what I do is I tried to say everything after I forget some important points. Know what I have to do is to control my speed with my idea to be more comfortable.

I will complete working with my weakness area in each skill to improve myself in the language. In addition to that, I will try next time to work on different skills to be more in general with my areas of improvement.

  1. You’ve covered a lot in this entry. In future, remember to be as specific as possible; for example, give the name of the story you read. Why was your speaking activity like a dream? Do you mean because it went so well? Overall, how do you think the whole process of the language learning plan went? I hope you will find a way to continue using some of the resources and strategies to study independently.
