Blog 10

a,  On December 16, I learned Reading on Ferris Online, English Lab about 20 minutes. I used a site," BBC Words in the News." There are News from England and around the world, with vocab help. And I also learned Unit a43(advamce mode) of Reading in ALC NetAcademy2 about 20 minutes. The level was 3. In addition, I learned some words by Dojyo about 10 minutes. The level was 2.

b,  I used "BBC Words in the News," but I  think that I could choose the site. In this site, at first, a monologue is read out only with a sound. Next, the display of a keyword is also united with that. Finally, the monologue is read out with displayed a whole sentence. Thus, this site followed the step and supported my learning, so I have learned very smoothly.

c,  I learned some new words from BBC and Dojyo. And, I also learned vocabrary from BBC and NetAcademy2.

d,  The day, I wanted to improve my Reading skill. I think that it was attained. I am glad to find a good website for studying.

a,  On December 9, I learned Listening (Unit 9 ; Stars carry out the help which leads you. ) in ALC NetAcademy2. The Unit was level 3. I also learned its advance mode. It took about 30 minutes. After that, I learned some words in Dojyo. The level was 2.

b,  I thought that this unit 9 was very interesting. But since it was not able to concentrate from usual why or on that day, having progressed was later than usual.

c,  I learned a lot of new words from both of the Listening program and Dojyo. And, I feel that this study showed the tips on listening comprehension.

d,  The purposes of this study were improvement in listening comprehension capability, and acquisition of a new word. Since many new words and phrases came out to the unit 9 rather than I considered, it was beneficial.

a,  On December 2, I learned listening using a site called ELLO of Ferris Online English Lab. Although I learned the conversation about "soul food" last week, since I did not finish with within a time, the day I learned the continuation last week. I learned it for about 20 minutes. Then, it referred to Jana having given me advice on a former lesson, I reviewed the unit before learned by NetAcademy2. It took about 30 minutes.

b,  I think ELLO is difficult because it has native speaker's conversation, so those are speedy. But I know the speed is importamt for me. In addition, I thought anew that NetAcademy2 suites me. At my pace, with my level, I can advance my study, and although it is little-by-little, I feel that my skill is improving certainly.

c,  I reviewed words and grammers which I learned until now.

d,  By learning focusing on review this time, I noticed that review is really important. Since I forgot the contents which I learned once in many cases, I think that I have to learn skill by learning them repeatedly.

Blog 7 -part 2-

a,  On Novenber 25, I learned listening English with Ferris Online English Lab. I used a web site which called Ello. And I chose a dialog about "soul food". It was a dialog which talked between an American and a Canadian. It takes about 10 minutes because I learned it after vocabrary test. I could not finish completely it. So next week, I'm going to learn it again. 

b,  I think the dialog about "soul food" was so interesting. I was very hungry after study the dialog. But I felt that it was a little difficult because their speaking speed was fast... so I listened it many times.

c,  The day, I learned new word and new grammar. And I got some new knowledge.

d,  When I learned the dialog, first, I was listening without text, two times. After that, I listening again and I see text. But listenng the dialog was no easy for me because the speed of dialog was so fast. I think I should be used be "speed", so It is important to learning with NetAcademy2 or English Lab. I'll try to improve my skills.

My language goals is speaking English smoothly to study abroad.
My skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening) are a low level.
I do not have any confidence in my pronunciation and idioms.
