Recount 2

Today, I learnt a Recount again with Dr.Usa Noytim. I did the exercise ''An Excursion to the Botanic Gardens" and the teacher had highlight noun, pronoun, verb, conjunction and action verb in the sentence. I had problem to learn a Discourse Approach in Reading because I don't know the meaning of vocabularies in this story. Teacher is committed to teach us so much. You are my teacher at very good. Thanks for everything you've done for us. I will try to learn English to more and more.

Recount 1

Today, I had a special class on Sunday. The teacher taught in the same topic from last class that was Discourse Marker. I learnt a Discourse approach in Reading about recount. Recount had 3 types for example Personal Recount, Factual Recount and Imaginative recount. I studies about a Recount in the topic is My Grand’s Funeral in Toraja. It is culture in Indonesia. I had learnt a lot from this story. I thought this lesson is difficult for me because I don't know some vocabularies in the exercise. But I guessed from context. I spend a lot of time on find words meaning in dictionary. This story is interesting and wonder made me get the new knowledge. However I will try to learn myself. Today, I don't feel well because I have a cold and headache.

Discourse markers

        Today, I had a Discourse Approach in Reading class with Asst.Prof.Dr. Usa Noytim. It was the first day the classes began of 2 term. The teacher started Course Introduction and taught discourse markers. She gave us a list of discourse markers and gave us the examples. I thought the first day was happy and fun. But she is quite intensive in teaching. This class was difficult for me and confused to using the words because I don’t know enough vocabularies and mistake interpretation. In my opinion ,I should be better learning more vocabularies. But I will tried to do the exercises and homework.

        Discourse markers are words that link two sentences together. They are also known as linking words, linking phrases or sentence connectors. These are words like however, although, nevertheless and are rarely used in speech, unless it is very formal.
