Fifth week

This week started much more peaceful. Later on we saw the first essay's topic. It was a bit scary. We were dealing with the question to understand while Mr. O'Regan wanted us to pre-read the text. It seems fine but later on I saw it was too scientific for me to handle. Then that lesson we started a group work to learn how to write summaries.

Firstly we tried to remember what we have learned in the past for summarizing. Then "Handbook for Writers" book came to help us. Every group write the facts they found on the board and we tried to see if they are really facts or not. Second lesson was a bit more challenging. Because we were suppose to read the text called " Is the Internet Changing Social Life?It Seems the More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same."The text we are going to write the first essay on. While reading it seemed to e that I understood the most important points, but after Mr. O'Regan gave his questionnaire it was well seen that none of us were good at the points that Mr. O'Regan thought important. We talked about the words which have other meanings then we usually use them. He briefly explained that we should look more carefully to catch the points that are important.

One more topic about this week was podcast. I finished my Podcast last week but I'm not sure if it is good enough or not. So this week I'm going to work on that. Because this Friday is the deadline for it. I hope this hard essay and Podcast will conclude in a good way. See you next week...
