EAP 140 AM - WANG, Lingshan - Week 9 4/4

           Tomorrow we will have our final exam, I feel a little bit nervous now, but I think I can handle it.  I am a repeat student in this course, and in this term I feel much better than last term.  I think in this this term the performance of mine is better than before, and I do something well in this term.  However, I still have some shortcomings, such as listening.   My listening skill doesn't improve too much in this term, actually it bad.  I try to find some ways to fix this problem, but seem it does not work.  I hope tomorrow I can try my best to get more points in the listening sections. 
            Another thing which makes me worried is grammar.  I still make a lot of grammar mistakes in my essay and my grammar homework which hurt my scores to some extent.  I think I will take more practices on grammar.
            Hope I can get enough scores to pass this course.  GOD BLESS ME.

      Today we learned something about how to make the reading exam questions.  To make the reading questions, first we reviewed the CAEL exams we did before, and generally the reading exam questions have four types, they are short answer question, multiple choice, table and matching.  Each of them have different types of forms, we should know these forms and answer these questions. I think it is a good way to get reading skill and improve our reading score because we can know what the exam maker wants to ask us.  I think we can use the same way to improve our listening skill.

EAP 140 AM - WANG, Lingshan - Week 8 4/4

Today I reviewed something about how to use comparatives and superlatives with care.  In English, there are three different forms of most adjectives and adverbs, for example, high(the positive), higher(the comparative), and highest(the superlative).  Usually, we use use the comparative to compare two thing, and use the superlative to compare things which over two.

e.g.
1) I think this text book is more useful than the old one which we have used before.
"more useful" is a comparative, we use it here because we compare two different text book here.
2) He is the most naughty boy in the kindergarten.
"most naughty" is a superlative, we use it here because we compare many boys that over two in the kindergarden.

Today I reviewed something about how to use adverbs to modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.  The adverbs which modify verbs or verbals, are almost always answer the question like When? Where? How? Why?  We should notice that sometimes we may use adjective

e.g.

1)  I will find a helpfully review to help me understand what this book means.
"Helpfully" is an adverb, but we should put an adjective here.  We should put "helpful" instead of "helpfully".

2)  We are very proud of our son's quickly reaction.
 "Quickly" is an adverb, but we should put an adjective here.  We should put "quick" instead of "quickly".

Today I reviewed something about object complement.  A direct object and completes its meaning are followed by an object complement.  When we use adjective functions as an object complement and they describe the direct object.  The verb, for instance, call, consider, create, find,keep and make are usually go with object complement.  

e.g.
1) You make me tired.
 "Me" here is an object, "tired" here is an adjective function use as an object complement which describe "me".
2) I found him painful.
 "Him" here is an object, "painful" here is an adjective function use as an object complement which describe "him".
