1. I think ELLLO is the best website in my studying. I have some reasons. First, ELLLO can not only listening but reading. So I could study both of them. Secound, the speakers speak like a real talking of their life. This was made me understand how to talk native speakers. Third, this website explains the meaning of difficult words or idioms in the listening. So I could learn some words in the listening without using a dictionary. Finally, this website uses conversation which is talking between native speaker and not native speaker. This system is very interesting because in the conversation, there are a few contents of difference of each country. I could study some giographical problem in this website.

2. I felt my reading is the best improved skill in this semester. At first, I could not read a long paragraph. But by doing the test of voabulary, I could collect my English vocabulary, so I could read more smoother than before I did many things that are in Net Academy or in Ferris Online.

3. I think my grade of this class is 4. Because I could work always with concentrating and independent by myself. But the rest of one is because of my study style was in a rut. If I had done working originality every week, I could grade 5 for my ability of my work.

4. I feel my speaking skill is not good enough because I cannot train that in this class. So I want to improve speaking skill in the near future. And I also want to increase my vocabulary. When I worked in this class, I tried to retain many words but I couldn't get my vocabulary enough. I think I want to take TOEIC test, so I need more vocabulary. Finally, I want to use my English ability for traveling abroad. I have a dream to study singing in Italy so I need to speak in Italian. But I think English is very important language because I cannot tell my emotion only Italian. Whatever is my choice, I think I continue to study English!

a. On January 20th, I studied in Net Academy2 and  Broke in the Big Apple in ELLLO of Ferris online. In Net Academy, I studied only reading which level was 3rd for an hour. In addition, I tried ELLLO for about 30 minutes. 
b.Net Academy's reading  was very interesting to read. But compared with ELLLO, it was a little easy. ELLLO is very nice text. I could hear the text and I could understand some words which I couldn't understand the meaning because the speaker taught me in the listening.

c. I learned some new idioms. And I could learn new cadence of speaking.

d. My skll of listening was improved because of ELLLO, so I want to continue to study in ELLLO.

a. On Jan. 6th's class, I studied reading in USA Today Off Beat and ALC Net Academy2.
In USA Today Off Beat, I read an news (http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2012/01/medical-examiner-arrested-for-keeping-body-part/1) which was written about an medical examiner. This text has 176 words and this is very short but I took very long time to read this text.
In ALC Net Academy2, I tried level 2 for 40 minutes. Net Academy is easier than Ferris Online, so I could read the text faster. 

b. In fact, USA Today is a little boring. But I could understand the content. On the other hand, Net Academy was very interesting because I read about The Beatles!

c. I learned many new vocabularies! Those words I didn't know are very important words, so I must retain those.

d. My word hoard is very farty, I want to retain words more and more because the placement test and vocabulary test are upcoming.
