In the last class we finished the paragraphs about linking
words, conectors and punctuation then we
read the paragraphs. Also we made the first report about the book The Picture
of Dorian Gray. In my report I said this book is very descriptive because
begins by describing the atmosphere and
whole this first chapter turns around question that made Lord Henry. He is a
smoking man and asked many times why not exhibit the portrait?
The
portrait is of a young man of extraordinary beauty called Dorian Gray and
Basil Hallward is the painter but although is his best work he not want exhibit
it because he is afraid that he has
shown with it the secret of his own soul. He has put into it all the
extraordinary romance of which he will never speak. Lord Henry is friend of
Basil. Henry is married and he said “I never know where my wife is
and my wife never knows what I’m doing”
Lord Henry asked if he likes Dorian and he answered he likes me, he is charming
to me. Well this was part of my report.
The teacher asked us that if we liked the book so
most said it was not easy to understand. En
my case I think that is a book very interesting but has difficult word.
I made a dictionary with the words that not
understand. Also I think is very important to read this book or anything
other book because I learn the meaning of
words unknown. After made the report we had to do a exposition about
scanning and skimming but first we have read, underline and understand of
material to after expose it. For example: Scanning is a fast
reading technique and can be used to look up a word in the telephone,
book or dictionary. To search specific words and phrases. While skimming is
used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. After exposition we did the
practice about this topic.
To
conclude this class was very practical and entertaining because we made
many activities and that help me to learn more vocabulary. Also we made a
exposition and I feel that helps me to
lose the fear of talking and it gives me more confidence because in my case all
this makes me very embarrassed but thanks to oral reports, expositions and
other activities I could improve.
Checked!
