Hi Henry, Good job submitting your first weekly report. Vocabulary: 30 words a week is great! Make sure you use the words you learn. Don't forget them. Reading: Great job summarizing the story. What's the doctor's name? What's the disease? Please give us more details. Listening: Great job watching TED talk on trying something new. I hope you will continue the self study for more than 30 days. Writing: Don't worry about making mistakes. Continue writing. The quick write exercise is designed to help you improve writing speed not accuracy.
Please keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Miyagi H

Vocabulary I lerned 21words this week. I try to use this words in my writing.
Reading I read “The Railway Children” this week. This book is the story of three children, Bobbie, Peter, and Phyllis. They lived in London with their father and mother. One day, however, their father had to go away. So, they also had to leave their house in London and started to live in a little house in the country… Through reading this story, I was impressed by the end of this story. It’s a nice book.
Listening I listened to some TED talks and CNN this week. In particular, “The terrorist’s son A STORY OF CHOICE” by Zak Ebrahim was so interesting. A man named El Sayyid Nosair walked and other men attacked on the World Trade Center in 1993. Nosair is Ebrahim’s father. Ebrahim was grown up by his father. However, some experiences changed his life and he could start a new life to fight against terrorism. I thought we can change ourselves by good experiences and opportunities. I was so impressed.
Writing I did 4 writes this week. I could write 128 words the most this week. I want to write more next week.
