Procedure

Today I learned about procedure. The procedure is how to make something such as how to make food etc.

I very enjoin about that because this is easy and interesting.

The Teacher showed the video about how to make food such as banana shake, banana cake, omelette, and chicken soup. So we were hungry and wanted to have lunch. 

And then teacher ordered me to divide groups, have 2 people in one group for presentation about how to make food in next class.  

Descriptive

Today we learnt about descriptive text. This morning we had a makeup class again. I thought I had go to attend class every day, It so tired for me.

Descriptive text giving information about how something or someone looks, size, sounds, etc.

I studied the description of anything such as Komodo Dragon, Budapest and Prague. When I read finished, teacher ordered me to write the mapping from this story. I read the other stories and answered the questions. 

I Like the descriptive because it have a lot of knowledge and very interesting for read.

However some words could make me hard to understand.

The Secret

Today I learned about Narratives “Secret”. This story was difficult for me because it made me confused about the vocabularies. I though this story told about the family problem. I can sum up into part 1 and part 2.

Part 1

Kylie feels left out from her mother and Philip's activities. She became interested in the chicken in the yard. Somehow her secret helps her to feel less lonely. She find the second egg and then finds out where others are being laid by unhealthy-looking hen.  Philip had shown the galvanized tin cover of  the bore well,and it was very dangerous. Kylie was forbidden to lift the lid. One day he sat with photo album,turning page and looking across every now and then. There was not one of her father because he had been the photographer.

Part 2

Two weeks passed. She visited the scraggy,with hen everyday. It was an important secret then. Someday she broke Philip's words. She clumped down to the bottom of the well.  She went down to the well with photo album to flick through the album. Why her father and mother didn't leave together with her. It was something she was not allowed to know. One of the picture in her album made her confident. It made her think Philip and her mother were stupid. It stopped her from feeling lonely. On a Sunday afternoon,Philip caught her down the well. He dragged her out and hit her.As a result of Philip's violence,she got angry.So she dropped the chickens down the well and threw the hen in the well too.She slumped down on the lid and began to cry. Before bed,She took 

her photograph and cut off her head and poke it through a hole in the fly screen of the window.

My opinion to the characters in the story.

I disapprove of Kylie: She think in a negative way and doesn't open her mind to her new family.

I disapprove of Kylie's mother: She loved her new husband more than her daughter. I think she should be interested and care of her daughter more than she did.

I disapprove of Philip: He hit Kylie, It was violent for her.

the story's symbols

(1) the eggs The secrets of Kylie.

(2) the well Where it's safe of Kylie.

(3) the photos A good memory of Kylie.

(4) Kylie's cutting of the photo Sadly.

In my opinion

I dislike Kylie's mother because she didn't take care her daughter and interested new husband more than her daughter. I disapprove of Phillip because he hit Kylie, It was violent for her.

Recount II

Today I learned continue about the recount from yesterday. I sent the homework this is the list of Definition to the teacher. She checked them and found a lot of mistake in the sentences. So, I had to corrected them and sent it again next week.

The teacher ordered me to read the second story "An Excursion to the Botanic Gardens" and then did the exercise. The other exercises are little hard and I could do them. Before I finished class. Teacher assigned me to do the homework. 

Recount

This was the second period in A Discourse Approach in Reading Course. I learned about Recount. 

Recounts are written to retell events with the purpose of either informing or entertaining their audience or both. The purpose of a recount is to list and describe past experiences by retelling events in the order in which they happened and written in the past tense. 

I learned the text about the Funeral in Toraja,Indonesia. It different from the funeral ceremony in Thai. I think the vocabularies are difficult for me, I usually opened my dictionary to find them but discourse marker made me more understand in the story.

The first time with A Discourse Approach in Reading

Today is a first day to start in this semester 2/2555. I studied about A Discourse Approach in Reading with Dr. Usa Noytim. She is very kind and on the time. I believe so, it will help me to can writing better.
Today I learned about discourse markers,are referred to more commonly as 'linking words' and 'linking phrases', or 'sentence connectors'. For example; in addition, on the other hand, because, as a result, in fact etc.

I thought it difficult for me. I have to improve for my writing, so I leaned about discourse markers more, them will help me to improve my writing.
