Descriptive








      Today I learned a Discourse Approach in Reading. I learned about descriptive, I also learned the meaning of descriptive that is a text which says what a person, a thing or place is like, it can help the reader visualize and understand a topic.
    After that, the teacher gave exercise for my classmate and me. It is about Komodo Dragon, Budapest and Prague. It was quite hard because it had many difficult vocabularies but I tried to find the meaning of them. So, I finished my worksheet.     ^_______^
I thought, if I really try to do something, I can succeed.

Secrets

       
     Today I learned continue from yesterday. We started to learn part two of the Secret story. When I read this story it made me felt more interesting because I wondered what would happen in this story. I tried to understand about this story, teacher told us that we had to discuss with each other and it can made we understand about it. At the end of the class, teacher gave homework for us, she told us that we have to conclude summery of this story. I think, it too hard for us but if we try to do it well, it will be good for us because we not only finish our homework but we also practice ourselves and we can get new skills from this homework.

This summery of the story
Part   I 
Kylie had a trouble with her mother and Philip, so she felt left out from her mother and Philip’s activities. She became interested in the chickens in the yard. Somehow her secret helped her to felt less lonely. She found a second egg and then found out where others were being laid by an unhealthy-looking hen. She felt happy when Philip and her mother left out. She liked to sit on the fence and shared her secret with the hen. She may be thought that the hen is her friend. One day she found well she was forbidden to lift the lid, it was dangerous. Some afternoon she saw a picture in the photo album and miss her father.
Part   II
Two weeks pass. Kylie watched the hen sat on ten eggs and suspected something new would happen. She took the lid out of the well and she started to go down with her photo album every day. She really wanted to know –right then – why her father and mother did not live together it was something she wasn't allowed to know. One day Philip discovered Kylie in the well and hit her. That evening the chicks hatched in the space between the sheet of tin and the back fence – ten of them. At dusk, Kylie put them down the well and then she hit the hen, threw it down the well and began to cry. Before bed, Kylie chose her photo, cut off her head from the photo and threw it away.

Resolution
-         If I were Kylie, I will consult with mother and I won’t harm the hen and chicks, it’s very cruel.

-         If I have problems associate with contemporary family life, I will try to reconcile with family, I do believe it will be better.



    






Narratives

         
On Sunday I studied A Discourse Approach in Reading. I learned the new content, it is Narrative. I learned about the meaning of Narratives, it tells a story about a series of event or actions. The story can be fiction or it can be nonfiction. It may also seek or teach or inform, to embody the writer’s reflections on experience.

          Before we started to learn the teacher gave activity for us, it about similarities or differences in our childhood memories, it’s so good I really like it.Then the teacher gave new worksheet for us, it is the narrative. The name of story is Secret by Tim Winton. It’s really interesting but it’s quite difficult because I didn't understand some words in this story. So, I had to use dictionary to find meaning of the words. I think I have to improve myself to know the meaning of the vocabularies more than this.
