          Today I learned about The Age of Immigration. This lesson teach about getting into the topic. At first, you should read the first sentence and think of a question that you expect this paragraph to answer. Second, you read the article, stop at the end of each sentence that contains bold face text and follow the instructions in the box in the margin. Third, you check the main ideas of each paragraph. Finally, you should look back at the article to answer the following questions. I think it was very difficult for me that in the same last week, but after I followed step by step, it made me understand more than ever. I will more try and more practice next time.It's really challenge for me

                           Today I learned about Main Ideas. It's the most important idea that a writer expresses in a paragraph. EHFT(Early Hypothesis Formation and Testing) is strategy of looking for the main idea. I think it was very difficult for me, but I will more practice to do it. Finally I had quiz about fact and opinion that it's a quiz of last week. I think I can do it because it's quite easy for me. I really happy for my quiz in this time.

           Today I learned about Facts and Opinions. First, teacher asked me to list facts and opinions in group. Then she explained about this. A fact is true statement that we can check or prove. An opinion is what a person thinks about something that we can't prove to be true or false. I think this lesson is easy for me(opinion), but it's impossible(fact). Finally teacher asked me to pactise about this. I feel good after I have already leraned.

          Today I learned about Popular Culture Critical Reading. Before learned, teacher asked me to list about sushi and find vocabulary. Then she asked me to practise about origins of sushi and popularity in the United States. Nigiri zushi called in Japan, but Maki zushi called in US. However, they are healthy foods in the same. I think maki zushi is delicious more than nigiri zushi because it's various of ingredient; fresh crab, shrimp, octopus, and so on. I was hungry after I have already learned. Finally teacher asked me to conclude this lesson.

                Today I learned with Asst. Prof. Dr Usa Noytim again. First, teacher reviewed last course and asked me to work with group about “What is Critical Reading”. Then teacher explained about this. Finally, teacher asked me to evaluate myself about critical thinking and tell about my feeling to this course. I think this course is important for me in my future, but now it’s quite difficult for me. I hope my critical reading skills will be better after I have already leaned this course.
