«My
first vocabulary class was like a torrential
rain during
hot und boiling summer. It means that it was absolutely relaxing because I saw a lot of familiar
faces,
we were talking about our summer and had pleasurable 80 minutes. From the one
side, it`s a classic example of a first class. But to
make it clear this class was rather
interesting.» I started my first blog with such
words three months ago. Now I have an insight into a fact that vocabulary classes are, perhaps, the most important among
the other subjects in our course. We have been developing reading, listening
and speaking skills during this time: it was not only learning words. Among all
pros and cons of studying it`s the best what I`ve noticed. Now I have a fulfilling emotions after that time of collaboration and maintaining team spirit preparing speaking tasks.
My expectations were certainly more positive, but I have
been taken my results on stake every
time writing the blogs and learning words. That`s why I understand that
everything depends on me and I must prioritize all tasks in order to juggle them on
time.
Progress? Certainly, I`ve become more developed in
writing blogs, using new words combinations and accomplishing unexpected or severe challenges (e. g. sixth units for one class). However, I had one funny
story with that home task. In order to find the book “Oxford Word Skills”, I googled and, unhappily, I found another edition. Unfortunately, I failed and
came to the class unprepared.
Now my train of thoughts is on the go and I think about small vocabulary classes` milestones.
Sometimes I encounter problems, was lack of time, blew not
important thing out
of its proportion, but my
biggest mistake was procrastination.
The most interesting task was creating blogs using
different opportunities of the social networks as a registered user. Everybody agrees that doing homework in the Internet is a student`s
paradise.
Practice
makes perfect, doesn`t it? When you`re
learning topics that you`re interested in your studying is not only useful but
enjoyable too. I think it would be good if we learnt words related to the
topics about free time, holidays, hobbies or manners and customs.
My
heart tells me that second trimester will be
livelier, more productive
and completely satisfying. I don`t want to jump to conclusions but I anticipate that it would be more interesting. Despite the fact that something can
go wrong, keep
the chin up and go ahead! Sometimes even the
principal concern could be transformed to the rewarding outcome.
