Directions: Write a 250-300 word personal reflection on Unit 3: Academic Reading. Use the following prompts to guide you through the writing: 1. When it comes to academic reading, what do you think you can do best? Why? (e.g. identify main idea, understanding context clues, and formulating a topic,etc) 2. What are your weaknesses in academic reading? Why? 3. How can you improve those weaknesses? 3. Do you find academic reading useful for your life? If yes, in what ways? If no, why? When it comes to academic reading , formulating a topic is the easiest for me. When I got a formulating topic , it's like I'm going to name the book .And I love it because it seems interesting and it requires (a little?) creativity . Formulating a topic is easy because It's just reading the text to get the main point and what it is about , then use your own word to generate the topic . I can say that my weakest point in academic writing is I don't understand words meaning in the text . I have to guess the meaning of them , maybe because I didn't read or study much about hard words . My another weak point is I don't like reading. I don't like reading long text , especially long text with many numbers, text about economic and scientific text . I always skim those text without repeating reading. To improve those weakness , I think I should read more and more dictionaries and read more text with hard words . I'm going to read more academic text ,scientific text and economic text, maybe I'll understand and find them interesting.... I'm going to practice my overall reading skills , so I can read the text more quickly and understand the words. In my opinion , I find that academic reading is useful for summarizing text . I think the most useful academic reading skill is context clues , when I read novels , article or given text . It can be used in specific topic article , such as those science terms , or political terms. 20 Feb 2017 This is my types of contextual clues poster. Contextual clues are hint that author gives to help define the words with hard or difficult meanings. The author usually uses the differnt ways of giving a hint, there are 4 types of contextual clues that I could find...
1)Definition - the word is defined directly 2)Antonym - Using the antonym to contrast the word 3)Synonym - Other words are used in the sentence with similar meanings 4)Inference - Words are not directly described , but can be inferred from the text.

Write a letter to a friend with the tone you selected.. Dear ... based on true story... I can clearly remember the day we spent together in our old school . You always asked me to lend you a pencil and paper for drawing , and you always lost it . Thinking of how many pencils you borrow me and lost , makes me feel really angry . Angry that I want to kick you for thousand times. The money I collect by not eating lunch to buy my new pencils , you don't even know I have to bear with hunger , you don't know how painful it is . Moreover , you asked me to give you my game console for free! Even you know it costs lots of money . Even in MUIDS you asked me for biology notes , math notes and exam tutoring . You promised that you'll review computer lessons for me , but you forgot and said you don't know how to do it! Now it's time for you to taste the pain I've suffered for a long time . I shall give you the most cruel , brutal ,ferocious , merciless and savage punishment when I see your face next time . I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE NOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME BUT I WILL FIND YOU AND I WILL KILL YOU!!!! March 7th,2017
Write a 200 word journal responding to the following prompts 1..How do you plan to spend your break? 2.What would you do? Where will you go? Why? 3.Who would you go with? April is a month of summer, vacation and relaxation . Almost every school closed on this month, for their students and teachers to have a break.After the exam and Vicharkarn day, In this summer I decided to stay at home. Because some of my family members will be going to Taiwan.I don't know if the weather there going to be hot or not ,but I'm surely believe that Thailand would be very hot. What's special about summer is the summer-special beverage at the market near my home. When it's come to summer , the market near my home will have games , concert and fun activities . The price of things that sold in the market will be reduced. I would like to go to the market with my family. I also want to go to the board game cafe , I really like board game although I always lost. It has been a while since I went there. Not a while , but last year . Last year I have 5 months break , which is very long (but fun) compared to this year. I want to have a long summer for this year too , but there's too much works I have to do. Feb 24th,2017
Write a 200-250 word journal responding to the following prompts: 1. Can you remember your favorite school sports day? What was like? Did you enjoy the day? 2. What were activities or competitions that you participated? What did you do? 3. Comparing MUIDS' Sports Day to that of your previous school, what are differences or similarities? This year sports day is very boring for me. I have to sit and watch other people playing sports without feeling excited or anything all day . I wished I could go upstairs to library and find a good book to read ,but it closed . There is only one cheerleaders team and I feel like it didn't gorgeous. I'm in Berserker and I participated in tug of war game with Mook. I practice with Mook a lot ;however , Mook had to go home before the game begun. What's fun is when I told Mr.Madgid (The math teacher) that if I won he has to give me 5 extra points for my math exam ,But he didn't accept it. He said if I won he's going to postpone the math exam to Friday . When I heard , I'm fulfilled with determination because I don't want to do the exam . So I tried my best to win the tug of war against teachers . Compared with my previous school , I felt this year sports day was unorganized , and didn't much excited . Feb 15th,2017
Write a 200 word journal responding to the following prompts 1. In you opinions, what career is the most difficult career in the word? 2. Explain what are the duty or responsibility of the career 3. Why you believe it is the most difficult career. For me , the most difficult , dangerous and deadliest career is Crab fisher in Alaska, It is stressful too. When I was young , I saw a documentary about fishing in Alaska .There's once a business magazine named Alaska crab fishing job "Worst job with best pay". One of the main reason is ; in Alaska , the weather and waves are unpredictable and cold , the water is dirty too . It's like gambling with life ;however , even the weather is bad or a storm is coming , you must fish and can't escape. Going to fish one time costs lots of money , that's why the fishermen wish they could bring back fish as much as possible. Fishes are abundance during winter , but the storms grow more frequent in that time of the year too. Moreover , the storm can makes the boat damaged , the fishermen's fatality rate rises . In some cases , the fishermen stuck there for many days . The food and water is limited , when they got injured , there's no hospital for them. Common causes of fishermen to death are Hypothermia , capsizing and falling overboard into a freezing cold water , make them unable to move. Feb 10th, 2017
Write a 200-250 word journal responding to the following prompts 1. What is the meaning of " true love"? 2. Do you believe in " love at first sight "? why? or why not? There's many words to defined "True love" , it's depended on the speaker's view . Each people describe "true love" differently . The Ancient Greeks divided love in 6 types . "Agape" is the highest form of love , it is love of the god for man and man for god . Agape is perfect , eternal , unconditional love , regardless of circumstances and a love of giving without thought of return . Agape love is only just to see the one whom be loved the most happy . The Greeks believed that "love at first sight" is caused by Eros , son of Aphrodite . Eros is a cupid , he hold a golden bow that able to make people who is shot suddenly fell in love ; however , it is only a myth , and there's no cupid in real life ... So how do people love at first sight ? For me , I'm not believe in love at first sight at all. Love is only occurred when two people know each other more and more that they become affected . But love at first sight is just seeing the external appearance then become attracted , It is just desire and lust. Just like the movie "Frozen" when Anna and Hans meet each other just only one day and decided to marry . Elsa not approved them to marry because Anna didn't know Hans well . At the end , Hans nearly killed Anna . Love at first sight is not existed , it is purely desire of external appearance . |
