EX) Jang phil-ja / Linzy / 010-000-0000 / 23. May. 07 / 12weeks / Philja academy

Today the weather is really difficult to understand..it's very hot and then suddenly it's gloomy..

Yesterday, it was children's day in Korea so I felt bored because some of my phone

conversation didn't answer the call. I talked with Jacob and we were talking about children's

day in Korea. He told me that children is the treasure of the country..I also had a phone

conversation with Sayid but he didn't answer the call maybe because it's a holiday so he

wants to enjoy his rest day.. I also tried to call Andy but same with Sayid. He didn't answer the

call.. So, I just surf the internet and enjoy changing my homepage.. I had a conversation with

Jack but since it's a holiday so he was also busy when I called him. We only talked for a short time because he's going somewhere.. I was really bored...^o^ kkk..I called Alvin. We had a

conversation about the holiday so I told him that it was my second conversation because 3 of my phone conversation didn't answer the call and he was laughing at me because I told him

that I'm bored...kkkk..after our conversation I watched Friends...so I didn't feel bored at that

time...At 5:30 Manager Brian told me that I can go home but I stayed for a little while so at 

6:00 I went home and then my friend texted me that she was in the department store so I went there and I saw my housemate together with her boyfriend. We had dinner in the store and

after dinner we went window shopping. At 8:00 we went home and then when we arrived

home my roommate's mother texted her angrily because my roommate made a freedom wall

in her room and her mother  read a message there and she misunderstand that message so my roommate cried and she called her mother to clarify everything.. And they settled their

problem. I'm happy because mother's day will be this saturday so they should have a good

relationship...'o'

3. How to learn READING and vocabulary

• Read something every day
  Children's books, simplified readers (Penguin), newspapers, magazines, Internet sites, novels, and much much more...
• Read what interests you.
  Remember that you learn better when you are having fun.
• Read at the appropriate level
  You want to learn new vocabulary, but you also want to understand what you are reading. If you are looking up every word, the reading is too difficult.
• Review Who, What, Where, When, Why for each story you read
  You can do this for almost any type of reading. Who is it about? What happened? Why did it happen? Where did it take place? When did it take place? This is very useful when you have no comprehension questions to answer. You can write or speak your answers.
• Always have an English-English dictionary nearby
  It is a bad habit to always rely on a translation dictionary or electronic dictionary.
  Think of your English-English dictionary as your life line.
  Use online dictionaries when you are using the Internet (keyword online dictionary).
• Record vocabulary in a personal dictionary 
• Keep this notebook separate from other work
• Record vocabulary in alphabetical order (an English address book works well because it has letters of the alphabet)
• Record the part of speech (sometimes there is more than one)
• Write a sample sentence for yourself (don't use the one from the dictionary)
• Review your personal dictionary (especially new entries) every night before bed
