Quarter1: Sentence analysing and GAT reading
Sentence analysing
|
GAT reading
|
In the first quarter, I've learnt how to analyse a sentence. I've learnt the relationship of each element in a sentence. In one sentence, its elements can be divided and categorised in different constituents, depending on their function. At the beginning of the unit, the first thing we learnt was the theory. Then we use English sentences to practise because they were easier and were not as complicated as thai sentences. After a few weeks, we practised analysing Thai sentences and it got harder and harder. In some lessons, we had a little competition to challenge our brain to think faster and it was a fun and exciting way to practise. Another topic I've learnt is GAT analysed reading which is a Thai admission exam. I learnt many techniques which can help me analyse passages more correctly and faster. I had an opportunity to work individually and in a group. Furthermore, in the class, we also had a competition which helped us learn more.
The reading skill is considered one of the most important skills everyone needs in order to learn and work. The knowledge I got from quarter one, including the sentence analysing and the GAT reading, considerably boosts both my reading skill and my analysing skill. I apply the reading technique to help make me understand what I read more, and I can also find the relationship of each sentence in a passage.
In both topics, I practiced a lot and I also got many questions wrong. Nonetheless, I felt that doing it wrong was one of the best which helped me learn more quickly. When I did a mistake, I would be able to remember it better. As a result, I would always try to be aware and not let myself make the same mistake again.

Quarter2 : Introduction to literature
In this quarter, the first thing I have learnt is what exactly is literature. It's a piece of work which is not only well-written but also gives readers benefits or morality. There are plenty of literature types and each of them has its own characteristics and ways to present a story. I have also learnt the theory behind the way people used to analyse literatures both from the western and the eastern worlds. There are a number of aspects in literature which help enhance the quality of works I can look into -- for instance mood and tone. Our teacher gave us many examples of thai literatures and how authors applies different methods to create meaningful and beautiful literature works.
The introduction to literature can be really useful for me to further my learning in the next quarter because I have already had fundamental knowledges about literature. It will be really difficult for me to go straight into hard and unfamiliar parts of literature without knowing basic stuffs first. I will be able to understand each lesson more and complete works well.
