Tuesday 9/29

Hi my classmates !. Today, Mrs. Han returned our summaries and " September 11" paragraphs. Mrs. Han divided us into small groups which had two students. My partner was Tam Vo. Our jobs were exchanging and reading each other first draft essay. Then, we had to fill in evaluation sheet. After that, Mrs. Han showed us about grammar mistakes, stereo types, and fixing some woman in combat hooks.

Friday 9/25

We continued discuss about Adjective clauses exercises which combined sentences into one sentence using as many adjective clauses. This exercise was very helpful to me. Then Mrs. Han gave us Final Examination ESL 91 in Spring 2007. We spent about 15 minutes to find some adjective that we will use in our prewrite and first draft. When class time was over, we had a lot of homework to do for Tuesday and Friday. Moreover, we have to read 4 chapters in The NO.1 Ladies' Detective Agency to answer 27 questions :(

Thursday, 9/24

Today, Mrs. Han returned our "women in combat" essays back. I think not many students got a good grade on this essay ( including me). Most students felt bad about their essays grade. Otherwise these bad grade lets us know that we have to study harder to improve our writing skills.

#1: Thesis statement: Learning English isn't so easy
a. I have to follow many different rules in English grammar.
b. I have to practise listening and reading in English frequently.
c. I have to learn and write many new words correctly.

#7: thesis statement : People go to shopping centers for many reasons.
a. They want to relax after a whole week is busy
b. They return something which they don't like. c. They go to their favorite stores such as Macy's, Tommy, Gucci.

Firday, 9/18

On Friday, we spent about 1 hours to discuss "women in combat" in each group. My group is five people. When we discussed about this topic, i disagreed with all of them. Our discussion was very interesting. After we are done that part, we had to write an in class essay about Women in combat topic. Also, we had only "50" minutes for this essay. It was a short time for us to write four paragraphs. So, i did my best. Finally, It was a great day and great class.

Women in combat

Oh my God !! I had done my blog already but I forgot we write about "Women in combat" today. So i have to write again. I think women should not combat at battlefields such as Iraq, Afghanistan. These are very dangerous for women because they do not have strong powerful to fight with enemies. Also, it is not fair to women because enemies are most men military. That is all my opinion.

Thurday 9/17

Today, I got my first paragraph " My Partner" back. It got a bad grade :( .but I do not give up, i will learn from my mistake and i will do the best i can. Also, we corrected our homework in text book and hand down. Moreover, we reviewed connectives that express cause and effect, contract, and condition. I forgot some of them so i have to open my grammar textbook to review again.

Tuseday 9/15

Today, we discussed our summary of "glass door prank". We made two common mistakes. First, it was about articles 'The and A". Another was writing sentence not connect to main idea. But we can learn from these mistakes. Also, we studied in group about coherence that makes paragraph logically and flowing smoothly. Addition, We did practice exercises on page 45. We needed to find a best answer which the author wants us to understand about "who or what". We went home after we have done it. It was nice class, and i have learned more about "The and A".

Friday, 9/11

Hi everybody! I just remembered event 9/11 when Mrs. Han reminded to us on Friday. This happening was very sad to everyone on the World. When we had 15 minutes remaining, Mrs. Han told us to write one paragraph about event 9/11. I hope I will write this paragraph better than the first one!!
