My Goals

In my learning contract, I said I wanted to improve my Reading Comprehension Skills and also acquire new vocabualry. In order to achieve these goals I decided to do several things. First of all I assumed the compromise of doing as much Reading Comprehension Exercises as I could. So far I have used a Toefl Cd the teacher lend me, but also the comprehension exercises of the Speak Up Magazines have helped me alot. I think I am better now at making inferences and drawing out information from the context. In order to learn new vocabulary, especially "slangs" I've been paying attention to the Idioms we were taught throughtout the semester and also I have written down every new word I'd find and look for it up in the dictionary. So far I've learned some new interesting words.
