Gender
Today we took a presentation class about gender because we have last essay for that so we had to take that presentation. The presenter was Robin Echtle. She presented about gender like man or woman. When began the presentation, we introduced our name and gender such as i`m seong du and i`m man. And she asked us. What is different between man and woman. People answered. After that, she explained. Man part was paying, no crying, strong and wild… and woman part was fickle, sensitive, emotional and dramatic. And she compared two things. I knew gender`s functions but today I learned more. And I have to make an essay about that. However, finding topic is very difficult. After speech, we got survey paper and I did. Her presentation was very good. If I have another opportunity, I want to listen again.

almost the end of quarter
It`s almost the end of the quarter. What do you still want to learn or do in class before the end of the quarter?
Spring quarter is almost done. We have two more weeks for learning English skills. While I was studying reading and writing, I learned a lot of skills. For example, research essay was very interested. And I learned through the Plato. The Plato was good for me but a few systems were strange. And I wrote several essays that were really hard for me. In addition, reading lab has a lot of stuff for students. Next quarter, I think I will learn another book at that time I will study more and I will get better score. Finally, I hope to get good grades when quarter finish.

reading skills
Speed reading
Today I attended an interesting class that was 95 reading class. I did not know about that class but I was very interested. And I met my friend who is Izac. The teacher taught us about reading. First he told us time reading. For example, we had to read one page on 10 second. That was very hard for me. After that I had to tell story to my partner. Time was reduced 10, 8, 6 and 4 second. I and my friend tried to read again and again. I think most people got smile because the class was very strange but we could get reading skills. I think I really need to get reading skills and I tried to read some easy books but that time was very hard for me. However I have to read continuously because I have not enough vocabularies. After two quarter, I have to take reading 95 so I really need a lot of vocabularies. Every day I wanted to read some books but I did not know about speed reading skills. I think today the class gave me a lot of information so I will try read again with the skills.

8 week, writing
What have you learned about writing this quarter?
How have you changed as a writer?
How has your writing changed or improved?
What do you write best?
This quarter I got a lot of writing skills. First I practiced to write compare and cause effect and narrative. When I took EAP 97, I just wrote one or two paragraph. In addition this quarter I got research skills. The research studying is very helpful for me. Before my writing had a lot of mistake like fragment, subject verb and run on mistakes. But I think I improved and I felt when I got my score. However I have to study more because college level is more difficult than EAP class so I want to study more. And I could write 4 or 5 paragraph that had introduction, body and conclusion. I think if I have 4 or 5paragraph assignment in Korean, I will probably get too many mistakes. And I like free writing because this is easy and does not care about grammar and spelling so I really like this stuff. This free writing gave me a habit that I usually write diary in English. I think EAP 98 class has 2 more weeks, so I will study hard for my good grades.

reading
What is the most difficult thing for you about reading in English? Do you like reading?
I hate reading but I have to do. When I took first class at TCC, I did not know about books and reading. Little by little, I realized about reading. Grammar is not bad but I always have reading problems. For example, when I read my reading assignment in my EAP 98, it was really hard for me. After that time, I decided that I try to read a lot of book every time. Nowadays I got little bit books and already read. In addition when I read a book, I had some difficult parts. I`m international student so I do not know American culture. However, lots of books include American culture so I was very hard. And phrasal verb is very difficult. Verb had a lot of meaning. When I tried to translate, I was confused and difficult. I have to read a lot but reading is not too easy. I want to take regular class so I will try and I will study about culture and verb functions.

classes
What classes do you want to take in the future and why?
I will take any kind classes. When I took first class at TCC, I wanted to take business. Business is good for me because that class can transfer to university. However my mind changed that I do not need to transfer. I just want to get TCC`s graduation. If I have enough money, I can stay more but I have to make money for my future so I should come back to Korea and find my job. After 2years, my age will be 28years that is Korean age. Most Korean want to get marry when they are 30 or 31. Anyway I have to pass at TCC early so I want to get general degree. I will make 90 credits at TCC. That way is easier for me. And I wanted to take business so if I have an opportunity, I will take that class. My major is international trade so I want to take that class. Studying in America is very difficult but If I got TCC graduation, I can find my job easier in Korea. I hope to get good grades.

test
Test
Most people do not like to take test. However test is very important because test can measure every people` abilities. When I took my first test, I really liked but little by little test was difficult for me. After that I did not like to take test. Nowadays lots of jobs require and measure through tests so we have to learn and study. In the world, most people want to get nice jobs which are high salary and easier jobs. And nowadays, I really worry about English tests because if I failed I have to retake so I have to do well. Two days ago, I took my grammar test and I hoped to get good score. However I got so so. Next time I will make better score for me. Always tests make nervous and tired. I think I have too many tests before I got job. I hope to get one that reducing stress. Besides, I want to get good score after testing every times. When I took drive license in Washington, I was very nervous but I passed so I hope to pass every test in Washington states.

English
English
English is important for me because if I want to get my job, English is essential. Most of the companies which are in Korea want English skills. Korea does not have natural materials so Korea has to tread with other countries. In addition, English is public language in the world. If I will make to business with some counties, I have to speak English. Since I was young, most Korean learned English but people can not speak English. Because education is different. When I was high school student, my teacher taught about grammar. I never spoke to English. When I came here, I was really hard to speak with other people. Now I got little bit speaking skills. If I did not come here, I think I will never learn to speak. And I want to tell to my friend how did I learn English and i want my friends` English skills are going to improve themselves. Little by little English is difficult because English has a lot of rules. I hate punctuation. Anyway I want to get high English skills while I staying in America. And I want to get my job in Korea.
