Learning Journal 6

The last weeks were focused on a variety of different language skills. After reading a passage about a forest fire in Korea, we were tasked to complete several worksheets on the article. The worksheet consisted of connecting lines to definitions, fill-in the blank, and reflection. Through this exercise we had a good review of reading comprehension as well as writing. This activity gave me a good sense of where I was in terms of my studies. I was happy to realize that I was more proficient in Korean after practicing for the semester. I was able to get most of the definitions and was able to comprehend all of the article. I felt a lot of pride knowing that I was able to read and write at a proficient level. The homework assigned for the week was also a similar worksheet.

I know that you have read the articles about it, but if you see the news on youtube and some of the victim interviews, it becomes very visual. The incident is very tragic and to see so many people hurt and hopeless, it was heartbreaking. I hope they can recover from that incident. The scale of the damage is really unrealistic.
