gaps

If I can call illiterate gap not being able to write daily, weekly schedule –so that’s it.

This semester I am reading...a lot or not?

Books which I read for classes this semester are: Literate Lives in the Information Age;

Literacy in the New Media Age; Legal research and writing;

Career Patterns A Kaleidoscope of Possibilities; Elementary Statistics;

And if I have some free time I am reading “The last juror” written by John Grisham.

When it comes to my feelings about reading I think that we should be grateful that we can read because today (in 2007 year) there are still people who don’t know how to read.

That’s why we should take the full advantage by going to schools and become educated person.

“Zodiac”(read it before watching the movie), “Supreme Conflict”, “ True notebook”, “Little Prince”, “The song reader” –that’s my 5 recommendations for female and male.

If you read any of those books, please tell me what you think.

Hello Wrold

Hi everyone, my name is Agnes and I am a student of LaGuardia Community College. This semester I take Eng 101 course, where we were asked by a professor to keep a blog as another form of written journal or writer's notebook which is required in this class. Even if keeping blog is mandatory in this course, I think that this a very good idea because students will receive comments not only from a teacher but also from others and more or less improve literacy that is the main subject matter I this semester.

I assume that everyone had a moment where realized that knew something. My was in 2nd class of elementary school but to understand it I need to tell the story from the very beginning:
In 1^st class of elementary school a teacher claimed that I can’t read and since that day I was made by my mother to read laud to her everyday. Few weeks later she started to asked us (students) to read in class, when the time came for me to read she said that I can’t do it because I don’t know how and this was happening every time she assigned readings. The next year in 2^nd grade, we got a new teacher who on the first class asked every student to read. After we were done she asked some students to stay when class was over (she never called my name). Later on when I find out that called students where sent to after school class to improve their reading I was so happy she did call me because at that moment I realized I am capable to read pretty well. And at the same time show a teacher from previous class that she was wrong.
