REFLECTION

Well the impact of the vocabulary reading required for this class has helped me in very different ways. For example in my point of view I know that I have a bigger vocabulary, it has helped me improve my reading skills, And I am able to use the words that I have learned in my daily life. During the duration of learning these words I am able to notice more people use these words and I am able to understand the meaning of what they are able to say while talking to me. In my point of view now that I am to break down a word and use all the useful things that I have learned in class to try and approach an unfamiliar vocabulary in a way to understand the meaning our at least try to get a hint on what the words meaning is. To me yes I am able to remember the vocabulary words for a long period of time and able to give in explanation of the word and the definition of it. In my point of view, during the duration of the time that I have been in reading 56 I know now that I am able to understand more in my reading and I know that I am able to use new words of my vocabulary list and be able use them in writing and while I am having a conversation with someone, and so far I am really content with the progress that I have been doing in my vocabulary and reading skills.
