Reflection

Reflection 1

 	I took two kinds of tests the first week. The vocabulary test was difficult for me, and my score was terrible... And then, in reading test, I didn't have enough time, so I couldn't concentrate to take a test.  Moreover, I was confused in class the first week because I don't like to use computers. However, since class started using textbook, I studied a lot of things. The first chapter is a very good lesson for me. To memorize new vocabulary is hard work for me, and I always take lots of time to memorize them. I couldn’t understand the meaning if I had an unknown vocabulary word. Fortunately, I learned the context and context clues. After I studied this chapter, I felt comfortable in my reading because I could come up with these definitions. I’d like to improve my reading skills with this method.
    In chapter 2, I had a trouble in my reading. Sometimes, I couldn’t figure out the author’s main idea. Therefore, I was confused in my reading. The main idea is a general “umbrella” idea. After I studied this rule, I began to find out the author’s main idea easily. To improve my reading skills, I have to read a lot of stories over and over.  And then, the professor gave us wonderful student websites. It is very beautiful and useful. I’d like to enjoy this class with professor and classmate!
