my weakness & strengths

This is my first week for advance two. I found it's quit different from the last section. When i was in advance one, we always had some videos to watch, take notes then answer the questions. After reorganized all of information about article, we need to write that in our own words or retell the story. My listening is very poor (because I don't know the exactly vocabulary for some information), so it's hard for me to reorganize the article.When I tried to write about that, grammars made me headache. Especially the tense combinations. I mess them up all the time.

Fortunately, I have a lot of patience for reading. I like to finger out the theme of the article and the purpose for writing this book. This week we started the novel project. My book's name is . The story tells the delightfully cunning and enormously engaging Precious Ramotswe, who is drawn to her profession to “help people with problems in their lives.” Immediately upon setting up shop in a small storefront in Gaborone, she is hired to track down a missing husband, uncover a con man, and follow a wayward daughter. But the case that tugs at her heart, and lands her in danger, is a missing eleven-year-old boy, who may have been snatched by witchdoctors. I'm looking forward to finishing reading this book.

Hi Julia,
What a beautiful picture of you in your profile!

I really thought that you comments about language learning were interesting. I am glad you are able to so quickly identify the differences in this level. Don't worry too much, we will all get through the info. Never be shy to ask for help if you do not understand a listening. Most of the class will be having the same problems I am sure..
