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.

a. On December 16th, I studied at BBC Learning English, Geo Beats, and  I Village.
In BBC Learning English, I tried Episode 125 and 204. And at Geo Beats, I studied "Roman Forum Rome" and "Colosseum." Finally, in I Village I studied "debt discussions OT -Mom's christmas Miracle."

b. BBC Learning English is very fun because it's like a comic or animation. I'm studying Itarian in Ferris, so the topic of Geo Beats is also fun. I Village is a essay thorefore it was a little difficult for me.


c. I could learn many new words. But I couldn't understand a word -"inaugration". What does it mean?

 

d. My listening skill is improved little by little. I want to improve more. I also want to skill up my reading skill or level.

a. On December 9th, I studied listening for 40 minutes in Yahoo News and in Australia Network. And I studied reading for 30 minutes in USA Today Off Beat.

A news' title is Obama to "appeasement" critics: Ask bin Laden
And in Australia Network, I tried Episode 13: welcome students
On the other hand, I read "World's oldest dog dies in Japan at age 26" and "11/11/11 brings hopes of luck to couples, others across USA"

b. Yahoo News was very difficult for me, but I felt Australia Network was a little easy. USA Today Off Beat had so fun topic that I could understand the meaning.  

c. I studied many new vocabulary in USA Today Off Beat.

d. I felt my week point is still listening... So I want to improve my listening skill!

a. On December 2nd, I studied in Japan Times (http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/nb20111202a1.html) on Ferris Online English Lab for about 50 minutes, and I studied reading which level is 2nd on ALC Net Academy 2 for about 20 minutes.

I made a summary of the article: Woodford, who was president of Olympus and calling into question dubious acquisition submit a letter of resignation of his post on Wednesday. On Thursday in tokyo, it was accepted. So He resign the President of Olympus but he is interviewed by FBI or other U.S. investigators until now.
  
b. On Japan Times, there are many difficult words. I tried to guess those words, I could understand a few words but I had to search almost of the words. On the other hand, I thought ALC Net Academy is very easy compared with Ferris Online English Lab.

c. I learned a number of words such as proxy, retake, accuse and so on.

d. On this class, I studied only reading. I want to study both reading and listening on the next class.

a. On November 25th, I studied listening on ELLLO about 20 minutes.  
b. It was a little easy because I could listen almost the sentences which was spoken. I could also answer accurately all of the question that in the program!

c. I learned a few idioms and words. I kept those words in my new vocabulary list.

d. I tried only listening both this week and last week, so I thought I should try reading program too.

At first, I made a mistake! I posted the Blog 6 on two weeks ago, but it didn't need to do that. So, this is a real Blog 6.


a. In November 18th, I stared to use Ferris Online English Lab. I chose Listening part on that, and I tried #573 Into City in ELLLO, and Living English in Australia Network. So I did listening only. I used all of the class for listening.

b. This site is very interesting but more difficult than ALC Net Academy 2 because everything about this site is written in English. But, difference from Net Academy 2 is many contents Ferris Online English Lab has. I may be not bored with this site.

c. I learned some new idioms in the Living English. Living English may be very useful if I use English in my dailylife in the future.

d. I could listen a conversation in ELLLO only if I listen that many times after. I want to be able to listen a conversation or speech only at one time.

a. This week, we didn't have a class because of school festival. But I studied in Net Academy2 and  some words of Vocabulary list.I studied reading program which leveled 2 about 40 minutes, and listening program which leveled 3 about 20 minutes. I found level 2 reading feet at last! I think I should continue to study in level 2 reading. Listening program work order as usual. I tried blind listening again! I want to upgrade my listening level from 3 to 4 someday in this semester.
I started to study words of my vocabulary list. It is hard to retain those words, but I work hard to retain all those words.
b. Today's Studying in Net Academy was very interesting. 

c. I learned some new words such as wholesome. And I added these words on my list immediately.

d. I think my study style in a rut... I want to restructure my study style until next week. I'd like to prepare to vocabulary test!
