week 1 & 2 REFLECTION

Through this two-week studying in RMIT English Worldwide, I realized that E7 course is not only fun, but also no shortage of challenges. E7 course is different from the previous courses, which have higher requirements in terms of reading, writing, listening and speaking, while giving us more opportunities to adapt to the future university courses.

While studying in the classroom, I tried to understand the teachers to explain the whole content. Initially, because there is a lot of new knowledge, sometimes it is difficult to understanding all of them. It is much harder than E6. However, after the first week studying I find some role of that and some time I can catch the piont now.

 I learned how to take notes. It is very difficult to do it without any clues, especially when meeting some unfamiliar words. I tried to use the methods which be taught by teachers. However, I still used some Chinese to help me remember the informations. Through constant practice, I improve the ability to take notes. I also learned how to write critical response. At the beginning, it just focus on one argument of author and write a separate paragraph about this argument. Then we practice to write a whole essay. Now I have basically understood the skills of writing of this kind of article.

Discuss with classmates is a significant way to practice my speaking ability, how to express my opinions clearly is very considerable. I am afraid that I am not good at it, sometimes I can not remember the exactly words to describe the thing, especially on some unfamiliar areas. Maybe discuss more with classmates will help me a lot on improving my speaking ability.

Although I thought it would have a hard course. I have to work hard to pass it.

ALL BEST

  1. I agree with you Jack. This level is much more difficult than previous level. However,I found that I received great help from our fantastic teachers Carla and Sara. We have 3 weeks more to improve our English skills so try to do your best. Actually, I think we get used with new challenge as soon as you imagine

  2. Yes Jack, my friend told me a joke before I started E7, he said "welcome to the jungle". I believe that he is right because the structure of critical respond is totally different with previous, we should handle it in a short time.
