Diary 4
 Today the teacher started teaching us by giving sheet, it's about fact and opinion. Then teacher offered us to set group, 4 people in one group and then we had to think and distinguish fact and opinion. The teacher gave us to write five sentences for what should be the facts and write five sentences for what should be the opinions, then we shared. Finally, we quite understood how different between fact and opinion. Then teacher gave us some new sheets. It's about the passages, we had to read the passage carefully to find the answers and answer the questions below. It took time but I was fun with finding and reading the clues of the passages. At the end of finishing lessons today the teacher said that we would have a quiz but it took a little bit time so today we didn't have quiz, I was very glad. In my opinion I think the lessons today is easier than any lessons that I've learned and it's more relaxed. I feel good and want to learn more about "Critical reading"

Diary 3

Today, teacher started writing the word Sushi on the whiteboard, then she asked us to discuss about it by thinking of How many things are reletive to Sushi. Then we practiced the exercises in sheets, it's about popular culture reading. We analyzed the passage, found the meaning of the words, then we shared what we did. I learned a lot today. It's still an interesting class. I found easy in this lesson today is the teacher led me to the lesson by giving interesting word and good devices but the difficulty of this lesson today is finding and analyzing the passage, the answer is not told on the paragraph directly so we need to identify, paraphrase and find the answers. It's hard but challenging!!

 Diary 2

Today the teacher shew me Monaliza's painting on the screen, and she's tricking me and friends of what was this painting kept in? Was this painting drawn by? At the first time I knew a little bit details about this, then she gave me a question " How do you feel about this picture?" She offered us to write an answer down to paper and gave me five minutes to finish the question. Then she chose some volunteers to show what they have written about Monaliza's painting. Some gave a good opinion and some gave his own thinking and feeling about it. It's different ideas that we shared to each other I think it's very useful for me. Then she gave me some sheets, she explained about the details in sheets. Before finishing class, the teacher gave me a paper sheet to write down the answer about " what's critical reading? Why's critical approach important to reading?" Then I answered the question. I found easyin this subject that the lesson today's challenging and I was inspired to learn more about critical reading.I found difficult in this subject that there're some unfamiliar words in sheets that I don't know well, moreover it's hard to understand some sentences. However I'll improve my skills to understand more some unfamiliar words by reviewing  and remembering them in sheets.

 Diary 1

Today I learned about critical reading with Aj. Usa , I'm very happy and glad to learn with her again. The first time she sent me a course syllabus and asked everyone what's critical reading? we can say that we do not know it after that we gradually know what it means, how it effects on work or how important it is. I think this subject will be a way of having fun, I think I'll know more about critical reading but something I can easily find in this topic today is what critical reading means and something I find difficult in this topic today is why critical reading's hard to understand? However, I'll try to learn more about critical reading, hopfully, I'll get some ideas to identify it and get more meanings about critical reading.
