I think I can make English sentence this semester because I often write it on blog. Also, I learned how to read English newspaper in reading class. I knew some rule to read it and I memorize English words by using a computer. I learned about 1,000 words. So I think that I try to repeat not to forget. These things are useful for my awareness.
ReplyDeleteI learned how to make my blog in this semester. I could make sentences easier than last year, because of the blog. I had to write blog five times a week. I noticed that it is important to use English everyday to learn English. English language is very difficult for me, but I like to write blog better than before. I want to use English more smoothly. So I try to write blog next semester more often than this semester.

ReplyDeleteI learned how to write, listen, speak and read English this semester. And I had a lot of English homework. So, out of English classes, I had many opportunities of learning English. I read many books written in English. More reading books, I can read more faster and correctly. I think it shows growth of my reading skill. As I always touch this language because of homework, I learn to watch movies without Japanese subtitles. When I start this, I couldn’t understand the contents of movies minutely. But now, I can understand almost.

My awareness of the English language has changed this semester. I thought that I would write my intention as I had thought it before I took this writing class, but I thought that I need to consider how to explain my intention, and I had to tell others my intention plainly. For I didn’t know a lot of English words to explain my intention, so I couldn’t tell my intention very well. I would learn more words while I was taking this class. For example when I tried writing my intention on a piece of paper, I couldn’t choose the suitable words for it.
