Journal # 5

      The last Thursday firs we started saying the reading report number 4 of the book The Picture of Dorian Gray. When I said my reading report I felt very nervous, but I think it is very important because will helpme to improve the fluency and to lose little by little the fear to speak.

Well this chapter was very short but interesting. In this part of the book  Basil was very sad and impressed because Dorian is engaged with Sibyl Vane to be married he cann’t believe it and he said “it is imposible”, also he hopes the girl is good, so Harry said “she is more than good,she is beatiful”. When Dorian arrived they talked about his girlfriend and how happy he is. Then Harry said to Dorian, “you will always be fond of me I represent to you all the sins you have never  had the courage  to commit and Dorian answered what nonsense you talk Harry.  To the end the chapter 4 Hallward was silent and worried, he could not bear this marriage, a strange sense of loss came  over him. He felt that Dorian Gray would never again be to him.

In that class we saw a new theme about outline: introducction, body and conclusion. I think this topic is very important to learn to write an article or any written work and for this it is  essential know how to make an introduction, body and conclusion. Well the teacher explained  all this and she told us that: an introduction is made up of 6 lines, the body from a writting of 7 or 10 lines and the conclusion 6 lines, also we made group work what consisted in write an article of the AIDS outline applying the new knowledge in the introduction body and conclusion. We could not finish it, but we must finish it and take it the next class.

At finally of the class, the teacher left a lot of homework that consisted in: 1-read the 8 steps for writing a good paper. 2- Exercise on paragraphs writing.   

For me this class was very good because we practice the part oral when we said the reading report and we saw a new topic that we put in practice writing on article for the AIDS outline, which I find excellent because it allows us to improve and put into practice what was learned in that class.
