Language learning Journal “4”

Working on our language learning journal is going very well this week because we have more time with this post, and we are very close to finish language learning journal. I’ve decided to work on scanning and skimming in reading. I’ve decided to use this website to learn how to scan and skim: http://www.xiangtan.co.uk/readingskim.htm.
This website explained more to me about how to scan and skim properly. Skimming means to look through a book or an article only reading the main parts of the content. For example only reading the title, climax, conclusion and so on. People learn how to skim so that their time isn’t wasted on reading, skimming takes much less time than reading. I also learned how to scan from this website. Scanning means to run your eyes quickly through the story over the words, until you find the word you’re looking for while ignoring all the other things. This website was very helpful to me, because it let me know the full meaning of scanning and skimming, and when to use them.
I kept on going with my writing skills and I visited this website:
http://lrs.ed.uiuc.edu/students/fwalters/compcont.html , to help me improve and know more instructions about comparison and contrast. A comparison paragraph is a paragraph where you talk about the similarities of two subjects. A contrast paragraph is a paragraph where you talk about the differences of two subjects. Unfortunately I didn’t really benefit much from this website, because I didn’t think there was enough clarity in the definitions. I thought that the website was confusing for me in some ideas. Next time I will try to read the website carefully before I plan to visit it, before I write it in my language learning plan.
