Actually, I started to follow my LLP in week 5. On Sunday, October 04, 2009, I had an appointment in LSC in speaking and I started immediately. I was nervous at the beginning but after while I was normal. Mr. Omar asked me few questions about my living city, my future job and my favorite hobby. Honestly, I was not fluent at the beginning as I had not expected what he would ask me about. However, I had little fun.
On Wednesday 07, 2009, I had another appointment in writing. Mrs. Julie was my teacher and she taught me the best ways to write essays after showing her my papers. She said that we have to put hook, our opinion in the conclusion but we should not use pronouns related to us for example, I am going to, because it is not a reflective writing. I felt fine to have these comments.
On Thursday 08, 2009 I finished reading tears of the giraffe and I used the dictionary to explore the meaning of the words in the story.
At the weekend, I read ENGLISH SKILLS especially about the writer for 15 minutes. I summarize it orally. I also read a book about HOW DO WE REMEMBER EVENTS? It was interesting to know that we remember events when we were witnesses and we never forget some events like accidents or crime. I have noticed that my reading was good and I understood the whole meaning from the first time! That was amazing because I wasn’t like that before. Also I felt strong passion of reading covered me.
Now I am satisfied to have new experiences and new knowledge about writing, speaking even in reading. I also become confident. I learnt how to avoid being shy by speaking even when there are mistakes in what I say.
