week 2

In this week I worked on my spelling l learned how to spell by breaking words into syllables, I think it helped me in spelling long words such as: revelation, success, occasionally and alternative. Second thing I used read up program to improve my reading I read two texts and they were intermediate level. The first one was about the mystery of Anastasia, the second one was about the early days of education. The first text was going slow so in the second text I speed it up little bet and it was better for me. And I got two mistakes in the quiz after the reading, next time I will speed it more than this time to learn reading quickly. In writing I needed to learn more linking words to help me in the writing so I did some research and I found a website which helped me a lot. This is the website:

My learning language journal



I start working on the language learning plan. I start with reading; I read the headlines of Khaleej Times newspaper and the national newspaper. And I read an article about Genie (the wild child) which helped me in human development class and in English learning plan. I read it on this website:

I didn’t have difficulty in understanding the article, however there were some vocabulary that I didn’t know and I needed to translate it such as: cataracts, makeshift and evidently.
I had a vocabulary quiz and my score was 80%, I only had two mystics it wasn't so hard. I went to the college library and I borrowed a book but it wasn’t for my level it was a kid’s book, the librarian advised me to borrow it, but I enjoyed reading it, now I’m reading ( little women ) by Louisa May Alcott.
