 My Journey to Become a Better Learner and a Better Reader

Hello guys! I am back! How are you? Hope you are all healthy and safe. Well… it will be a little bit special for today’s post. Today I’m not going to post about story like usual, but I will write my reading and listening journey during this semester join Integrated Communicative Course. Let’s start!

In the beginning of this semester, I think it will give me a little trouble especially in listening. I admit that I’m not very good at listening, but I don’t expect if I will enjoy it more than before. And for reading, I really like it because reading is my hobby. Because I rarely reading story in English before—I reading book or story in English just for my English class in high school—so reading in English make me nervous and there are a lot of worries in my head. When I read some story in er-central, I think I should not have to worry that much because I can understand it easily and start to change my level to the higher level. And from this course too I knew about er-central and English e-Reader, where I usually read. You can click here for er-central and here for English e-Reader if you interested to visit it.

English e-Reader

But near the end of this semester, I enjoy reading and listening in English more because I’m used to it now—I read a lot in Indonesian before join this course and I’m not confident to read in English. At first, I planned to read 2 story for one day, one for reading and one for listening because we have target to pass. But sometimes I read 5 or if I have more time, I can read 10 story—I hope I can maintain this habit. Unfortunately, I haven’t been reading much lately because I have a lot of assignments and projects that need to be done because this semester is almost over. I promise myself to read more after finish all the assignments and project.

And after this course, I think I will continue to read graded readers and other fiction books. As I said above, I like to reading, on the other hand, reading and listening in English can add my vocabulary and improve my listening skill. I hope I can continue to write in this blog too though not as often as this semester.

Okay, that’s all for today, hope you enjoy my blog and see you again, bye~

Hai there! Back again with me in parallel- blog! How are you? I hope you always safe and healthy. Today, I will post about song that the best represents the story. As usual, I will choose one for reading and one for listening. Let’s go!! The first one is reading text title is Orpheus Descending by Jenny Dooly , level 2 with 6636 words. It is about the myth of Orpheus, the son of Calliope—muse of the epic poetry—and King Oeagrus. He was a legendary singer and musician of ancient Greece. When Orpheus was born, his parents made a great celebration and Apollo—god of music and light—gave Orpeus the most valuable thing he had—his lyre—he also kissed Orpheus forehead and filled the baby’s body by special power.

source: google Hello, everyone! Welcome to my blog! Because this is my first post, so let me introduce myself. My name is Cornelia Betty Septiningrum, I’m a college student from Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana. In this post, I will tell you about my English learning journey. Okay, let’s start! When I was little, I’m not that interested to learning English, especially when in elementary school. Because I can’t understand what my English teacher said. But, after watched movies in English like Harry Potter, Narnia or Disney movies, I interested to learning English. In junior high school, with new English teacher and her different way to teaching, I become easier to understand the material being taught, I can improve my English skills too. However, I still have some difficulties when learning English, especially speaking. Because when I should speak in English, sometimes I'm confused how to answer even though I understand what they are talking about or what they ask. Sometimes I a...

Haii!! Welcome back to my blog! How are you today? I hope you’re all doing well. It’s been quite a while since my last post—I didn’t post anything for last week, right? So, for today’s post I will share one story—yup just one, again—and then, I will show you the picture that I made. The picture is about specific scene I have chosen from the story. Let’s go! The title from this story is How I Met Myself by David A. Hill . It has 12485 words, 51 pages, and the genre is adventure.  It is about a man named John Taylor, he lives with his wife named Andrea in Budapest, Hungary. When he was coming back home from work, it was very cloudy in Budapest and he was thinking about a little trouble that happened to him at work. Suddenly, the door opened somewhere, one man ran out and accidentally pushed him into the snow. The stranger muttered an apology and just quickly run away, leaving John who froze after see his face—the stranger looked exactly like him, as if he was him, they have the sa...
