Learning reflection

1. What did you learn in this course?

In this course, I learnt many things about  Discourse approach in reading such as kinds of text, discourse markers of many kinds of texts. How to read the text in easier ways.

2.What did you find easy?

For me, the lesson about recount, description, procedure, and definition are easy.

        Recount is easy because it is about what happened. It’s easy to write, read, and understanding.

       Description is useful lesson I can understand describing text easier.

       Procedure is very fun and useful It made me understand how to cook and I can tell each other to cook some menu too.       

3.What did you find difficult?

       For me, I think every lesson has their hard point but the hardest point is to understand the text. Although, the discourse marker can help me understanding them easier but I must study hard to be good in reading.

4. How did you solve the problem?

       I try to study hard. I read other English text from another ways such as book or internet. If there are any problem about this subject, I try to find some information form the internet or asking friends to help.

5. What are your attitude toward the course?

      In my opinion, This course is very useful because It made me familiar with reading an English texts. Infect, 

I fear when I read the text in English , but  I learned many ways to understand the texts easier from this course. In addition I can apply knowledge from this subject to help me in another subjects like Paragraph writing. I think this subject is important for me. It made me know to improve my reading and the teacher is my good model to be a good teacher.
