This is the last week for applying my LLP and I am very happy that I will finish doing a lot of reading, writing and speaking. After applying my plan which are for five weeks, I will make a plan for myself that contains all the six skills. Last week, I decided to focus on all the three skills which are reading, writing and speaking that will help me to improve myself especially improve my English.
First, in reading skill, I did many things such as reading a short story and newspapers. I went to this website http://www.bedtime.com/html/jenny_s_surprise.html and I chose a short story which I thought it was interesting for my little brothers and sisters. The name of the story is Jenny's Surprise and the author’s name is Deb Hockenberry. This story is about a little girl and her baby sitter who surprised her when she told her that they will go to the park .And junny was very happy that day and she had a nice day with the animal. When I finished reading the story to my little brothers and sisters, I asked them “did you understand everything from the story?” and their answer was “yes”. I felt very happy because I told to myself that after one or three years I will read to my students and they may or may not understand my very well. I felt that I am ready to teach young students with high confidence the six sills.
Second, in writing I did something strange this time. I went to one of my high school English teachers which live in front of my house. And I gave her one of my writing essays. She was very surprised when I went to her. She said to me" Azeeza your writing is very good but you have this problem since high school which is translate thoughts from Arabic to English’’. i discussed this problem with her and I found that I translate words that have many meanings in English but can be different from one sentence to another. She gave me some advices that might help me overcome this problem. However, I made some mistakes, yet I did well in the practice.
Third, in speaking I went to my sister who is an English teacher and I told her that I want her to do an interview with me. Then, she prepared some difficult questions for me. However, the interview was for 30 minutes and I felt so nervous, even though the interviewer is my sister. I did good with great confidence especially when I spoke. However, I had some difficult parts at the interview which were grammar and answering some questions.
After doing this last week of my LLJ, I felt very happy because I saw myself improving through these five weeks. I hope I will still improving and I will make a plan to develop my English and the six skills.
