Learner diaries 01-11-2009 // November 3rd, 2009
Another week has passed and I’m continuing studying “Study Skills” to improve my Basic English. This week I was learning UNIT 3: Tele-working and distance learning, I can get the main idea mostly and I did note-taking effectively according to the recent study; that is what I was told last week. I have really learnt many useful skills on this course such as some macro strategies, how to identify the special markers and the highlight: note-taking.
Well, even though I can understand the listening better than before there still some problems with other skills. This is a strange phenomenon, my hearing really improved but there was no significant change in my speaking or writing, what should I do to improve? Maybe I require a larger vocabulary or should do more exercises where I can write answers rather than choose between Right and Wrong. Besides I had considered watching some classic movies, some of my friends told me that it’s quite useful, the only problem is that really takes time.
Wow! Do you know what happened just now? One of my friends in England who is studies in the university of Manchester will come to China next year! This is a fantasy! However I feel a little sad because at the same time that I go to England she is coming to China, I might not meet her. What a pity.
Nevertheless, this is a nice week, I’ve learned a lot and there have a lot of interesting things which happened. Hopefully I can keep this good mood to alive.
