Summary of 520 Reading Class
Time is flying. Without notice, book is running at the end. Binder is becoming thicker and thicker. The final exam is coming soon. Our 520 reading only has two weeks left. But memories become into voices in my head. I cannot draw them out. I have known the happiness and laughing in this class. To know this class as a family is to know that we are truly in the presence of love. So I would like to extend my greeting to each one in this class and to this beautiful journey we have been spending together. I can think of no other people better prepared for their future’s
English learning, a future only us are ready to embark upon and sail.

In this class, we have been learning the important reading skills such as time reading, vocabulary, summary, paraphrase, etc. I believe all of us have been doing outstanding jobs. I do not know the experience from others. But for myself, I do keep some of the words from class in my mind such as keen for their green, merry-go-round, sleek aerodynamic lines. My summarizing skill and catching the main idea in a short period have never been improved so well. We are looking forward to use all this skills in further English learning or even academic learning. These are precious fortune we own in our life. Eilidh Singh is our teacher, an amazing teacher in my history. I love her idea of making an outline at the beginning of class. I love her intimation of sharing stories to us. In these classes, I even know her mother and sister better than our technical reading skills. It is wonderful to have such an unbelievable mother and sister. I love the causal talk before we start our class. Although it might take half an hour in a one hour and fifty minutes class, but this intimate talk absolutely bind us together with sharing every day’s experience and cut a lot of study time. I love her performance. She always acts to be whiny and use her head knock the broad. For her performance, she is as talented as Angelina Jolie, if she involves to movie. We all need to thank her for her shows and teaching. The most important is she is so nice.

During these three months study, we passed through the three chapters in our book, “Reading Matters”. They are “Creativity”, “the Age of Communication” and “Economics”. It is true that I breathe the new fresh air and enjoy tons of fun in these three chapters. I learned the science of jokes and the laugher, creativity related to our brains, the blessing and curse of cell phone, a communication transformed by cell phones, the consumerism in Economy, and the popular types of payment. Each chapter is a meaningful lesson. All these lessons are not only for English learning or exercise in the book but also the useful knowledge, the view how we concern which directly sent by authors in this book. We all need to thank for these author’s ideas and this amazing book.

This is the summary of all my reading class, but not a real summary. Too many personal responses added in this summary fails it won’t be higher than C if we score this article as a test. But this is my opinion. Furthermore, it is even everyone’s opinion, because it presents all the laughing in this class. We all will say thank you, 520 academic reading class.
