10. What I have learned from this course?

This is the last task for writing journal in the course of Reading and Writing for Academic Purposes II, I am very happy that I have finished studying. This course helps me to improve all of skills, especially writing and reading skills. In this course, I have practiced reading and writing about academic articles, and research articles. Moreover, I have discussed the questions that related to the articles as a whole class and pair work. This activity, I had the opportunity to speak and share ideas in English with my friends. When I presented my discussion to the teacher, she always corrects my speech when I spoke so I can know the errors in my speech and I can improve them when I have to speak next time.
The teacher is very kind and she always smile which made the nice and warm atmosphere in the class and every students would like to learn with her.
She always encourages me to speak and express my opinions that made me have more confident to speak in the class. I have learnt the about academic vocabulary and I can use them with confidence in speaking and my writing journal. Furthermore, I have learnt several techniques and methodologies when the teacher use with me such as jigsaw learning that enables each student of their group to learn one segment. Students meet with members from other groups who are assigned the same segment, and after return to their group and teach the segment to their group members. This is the best ways to teach students if there are many details of the lesson.
Finally, I would like to thank you all my friends that they help me in everything and give me advice about studying and general things. And I would like to thank you the teacher that you give me knowledge and advice about studying. Whatever I said or whatever I did that caused you were angry and unsatisfied, I would like you to forgive me because I didn’t mean. I love my friends and the teacher. To the last of my writing, I promised that I will bring the knowledge and techniques that you use with me to adapt with my teaching. I will be a good and kind teacher like my teacher.
Best regard, my teacher.

9. Concern about Global Issue

In our world, there are many global issues that affect us; they affect our economies, our politics, our environment, our daily life, and overall living condition. Some of these issues are global warming, population growth, poverty, racism, human rights, economic crisis, and etc. They can not be handled by nation states alone but they must require cooperation among nations and international actions. If there is a conflict among nations, those issues will not be solved and they are ignored. Global issue issues are important for everyone is as citizens in the world, even though those issues affect them directly or indirectly. All issues are problems that everyone should concern and appreciate them. We can cooperate with governments or people who implicated with those issues to help them solve problem that occur in our countries.
Global warming is the issue that I concern the most because it affect to all of us directly. Global warming is a major cause of several natural disasters that occurring in our world nowadays so all of us should not ignore this problem. As I see in my writing about climate change, we can prevent it now before it happen or disseminated to all of countries.
