Reflection 2

During this week I've found out less problems with this class in comparison to the other weeks. I think I have improved a little bit my vocabulary which is reflected in my last two quiz results. Nevertheless, I still have to work harder if I want to pass this course and go to reading 142 class. In comparison to my other classmates I'm a lot behind. This is because I have been focusing on other classes and my job which is also another impediment to finish my homework duties on time. What I'm doing to recall the new vocabulary is writting down the words in a separate piece of paper and write the easiest definitions. Then I translate the words in spanish and try to make sentences with them. After I feel more comfortable using those words in my language, I challenge myself trying to make more sentences in english. Of course, I always try different ones. This is very hard and annoying, but after awhile everything makes sense like magic. Sometimes I compare english grammar with complex mathematic equations. I mean the learner only has to follow a pattern and be careful of the restrictions or speacial rules. I think during the years ahead I will get the native sense in english and I won't be affraid of using difficult words. Well the only thing I'm concerned about is my reading lab. It's so hard. I'll keep practicing and let's see what happens throught the semester.
