Self study 02~05/09

For several weeks, I had written a globalisation essay. I have finally finished my essay and sent it susannah by email. At first, I worried whether I am able to finish this task. It was difficult for me to read many websites or books in English and write academic essay. So I am relieved now. But next one is presentation!!! Because I am not good at speaking in front of many people, I am soooo nervous... Moreover, It's in English... Anyway, I have to do in order to pass this course so I'll do my best.

As self study, I study with the text book which title maybe "Advanced Academic Grammar in use". Grammar is not so difficult for me but I've a little forgotten what I have studied in Japan. So I am going to continue to study when I go to liverpool.

Self study 29/08, 01/09/08

29th August, I arranged the vocabulary I have ever studied in class. There are so many words but I have remembered not all. So I try to use these words daily and get used to using it.

By the way, I started to do home stay from 29th. My host mother is Caribbean and has two daughters close to me in age. And there is also gland mother. Talking with my host familly gives an opportunities to improve my English skills. I try to talk with them positively and want to make a good relationship with them.

Yesterday, I went to Oxford Street to shop with my friend. At the beginning, we confirmed the way from a house to the university. It's because we were lost around there and finally could not find the university. It took over 1 hours in the way it takes around 15 minutes!! We went to the opposite way.. Anyway, I relieved to reach the university and was able to come to the class today! After that, we walked and shopped in the street. Although it's so crowded, I had a good time there.

For today's self study...
I went to the library in the university and looked for some books for final essay. And I rewrote introduction concretely referring to first draft susannah checked for me.

I also did a grammar book I bought yesterday. I studied about use of article which I don't understand well.
