                          What is it?

 It is a popular technology in UK university.It has earphones connect to MP3.

 It can help the students to learn about lecture and help to didn't go library.Sometimes the students have a problem about get information such as the teacher speak very fast,some students are absent.

They can download audio or video from professors upload and you can listen to the lecture many times.Then it can listen to or watch them when you want and easier for students to work from home or traveling around.

It can use anywhere or anytime but it has a limitation such as the profcasts need connected to internet every time when you use it.

I was funny during did the exercises and this story is very interesting. I think this lesson have easy words and easy to understand.Form story I used faster to read skills and guessing words to find the answer in question.If you use it for educational purposes,it would be beneficial for you.

                                         Grammar                                   

Present simple: Routine, habits, facts.

- Hilary is a student.

Present progressive: Actions happening now, descriptions, 

                               temporary actions.

  After that I read Essential Skills.It’s about musicnews & views.

WEEK 1 A Healthy Diet

Today was the first day of studying in this course "  English Reading Stratedies"

   Before studied,  teacher told us  about Course syllabus so I thought  this course very hard.

                 This is manners in the class.

                  Before I learned this course I very read slowly and usually used a dictionary when I don't know a meaning of difficult word from the context and when    I can't find the correct main idea.But this course taught me about the way to read faster,how to find the answers, obstacles that I have when I read, new knowledge and vocabularies from text, grammar such as part of speech, writing skill is better than before.

         when I read I will use reading strategies that I leaned form teacher in text such as

         We found answers , and wrote on white board. 

                        I will used the strategies that I got from this course in reading.                                  I prepared and practiced myself by read a lot and sometimes I did the exercised before teacher assigned.

After  that we began in Unit 1

                                     Later I learned grammar  " present continuous"   
      I do exercises but  I  confused about it  in choosing to use it  I often use it frequently. 




                         When I do, it's practice, I could do it too has raised between healthy food and junk food. Clearly It is very important in everyday life,I  thought this course is very useful because it could be used in everyday life, not really.  I hope to learned in the next time. I understood it well enjoyed it.
