29 October 2013 Today, I was the first class of advanced reading subject. My friends and I learn advanced reading subject with Ajarn Jaruwan Maharachpong. On Tuesday, I learned between 13.00 to 16.00 P.M. Teacher was friendly and she spoke English language with students. Sometimes I don't understand when the teacher spoke with me. I must to learn more English. She told everyone spoke English and don't spoke Thai in the classroom. I was very excited and I was to enjoy. She taught about skimming, scanning, cognitive reading and strategies reading. I don't know the meaning of skimming and scanning when she asked about skimming and scanning. I'm not sure. Some students in the class, they did not understand the meaning of skimming and scanning. My friends and I share an idea about skimming and scanning in the class. They have difference idea. In my opinion, I think that skimming is refers to process of reading only main ideas within a passage to get an overall impression to the content of a reading selection. To scanning is a reading technique to be used when you want to find specific information quickly. Then in scanning you have a question in your mind and you read a passage only to find the answer, ignoring unrelated information. After that I searched meaning of skimming and scanning. Scan: To look over quickly and systematically; to look over or leaf through hastily. Skim: To give a quick and superficial reading, scrutiny, or consideration; glance. Skimming and scanning are very important reading techniques. In short, skimming refers to looking through material quickly to gather a general sense of the ideas, information, or topic itself. When you skim, you read through an article three to four times faster than when you read each word. Scanning refers to reading through material to find specific information. When you scan, you run your eyes over text or information to pull out specific words, phrases, or data. Teacher talks about the uniform and came to learn for students. Everybody must wear the uniform. The most important everyone must be on time and diligently. I learned about English skills. Sometimes I did not understand when the teacher spoke with me. I had the problem is listening and speaking. The accent was very difficult to listen for me. So I must practice speaking and listening on a regular basis. When I did not understand that time I asked and consulted to teacher. I think that English language is very important for me and everybody in next day. I got the knowledge about English skills such as listening, speaking, reading and writing when I graduated I will use knowledge to work in the future. I have fun to learn in every day.
