Here is the tenth week of studying this course. First of all, the teacher gave us to see the pictures in order to guide into the lesson,West meets East, I would like to show you the pictures of this content.

Then, she gave us to discuss about foods,actor,musicians,athletes from our country which have become popular in overseas. I talked with my partner about these topics that made us confident to speak English. Moreover, we also thought the answers in order to answer with others.

I recommended my partner Papaya salad is the most famous food in Thailand and Mario Maurer is the most famous actor in Thailand too. My partner agreed with me because we have already known that Mario Maurer has ever been famous in China so he has already been known by his fan-clubs among people in Asia and Europe.

Next, we read the content,The Asianization of the united states, this content was hard because of the vocabularies that made me misunderstanding. Some of paragraphs I used skimming first and tried to capture the main idea. Then, I used scanning in order to answer the questions in this hand out. It made me serious due to difficulties of this passage. It seems academic so I confused a little bit.

Next, we answered the questions together. The teacher tried to help us by using the internet to find the words that made us to easily understand. I got 5 scores from 10 scores so I necessary to improve my English Reading Skill too much in order to be good at English.

Eventually, the teacher told us the score of test. I got 29 marks from 40 marks. I was disappointed a little bit so I think I should read and practice more in order to be good at English. "The more I do, The more I get"

Ps. Next week, we have no class because the teacher will not be here. she needs to make a study trip. so she assigned us to do more exercises and read the passage whole of handout then, she will respond the answers subsequently.
