Week 15 Learning Reflection

Reading English Strategies is very hard for me because I do not like to read I mean that I like to listen and watch movies in English more. So I don't like this class there are so many the passages and unknown words but I will improve pronunciation and the meaning of these words in English by Cambridge Dictionary Online on the website I think it is useful for me when I have problems about the words. I love this class because teacher is kind but I don't like the class when some of friends are too noisy I'm bored and annoy them. I think everything is okay. Something not okay is atmosphere in this class. I try to ignore.
