Unit2 (continuous) : Natural Disasters / news stories









              After week   study reading  for detailed information and reading for specific information  about reading News story Natural disasters.And today I study about  reading  news story , scanning the text , write  unfamiliar words  and find their meaning from dictionaries.



                              I study reading news stories  about  earthquake and  fires

 An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by vibration, shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. The vibrations may vary in magnitude.






Earthquakes by themselves rarely kill people or wildlife. It is usually the secondary events that they trigger, such as building collapse, fires, tsunamis (seismic sea waves) and volcanoes, that are actually the human disaster. Many of these could possibly be avoided by better construction, safety systems, early warning and planning.




      After that I think, reading News stories about natural disaster is very easy. But I think , scanning the text about natural disaster is  not very difficult. The best way to get into reading is simply to read and read  and read freely. This practice helps me develop a feel for reading.



Finally, my reading strategies is reading English Newspapers from  BBC  News , Fox News, Bangkok post, The Japan News , New York Time, Global Time,
China Daily  and News & Record. My attitudes towards the lesson is I never feel confident when I am faced with a variety of writing task in and outside of class.
