task 10

Last week we learnt the phonemic chart of English sounds.To be honest i did not learn this part of English before.Thus i got idea to learn this part.My pronunciation is not very bad but i can not recognise the spelling and the stress of the word.Spelling is the one of my biggest problems.I think if we know the stress of the word we will be able to write the word with out any spelling's mistakes.So in this exercise i have done the Word Stress task on the Word Stress Weblearn . Unfortunately just one- thirds of my answers to the questions were correct.So far i was looking through dictionary just for finding the meaning of new world but I have decided to look at the dictionary for stress and spelling as well.Furthermore i am getting use to pronounce the world correctly and in better accent.I recommend the students to use book's dictionary instead of using digital dictionary to achieve this reason.I can see my progress in the short time and i want to keep finding the stress for any word which i am using regularly.

task 4

I knew about my subject generally also i searched about the modules and few specific details on the Internet .The course which i am going to study next year is Computer Networking.The course is divided into three stages:
First stage is include three core modules (Broad band networks,Routing and switching device ,Advance communication system ).
Second stage is include two compulsory core modules(Research method and project proportion,Advance routing and switching).Third stage is optional modules(Network security,Mobile and digital Brod casting,Topic in computer network Analysis and simulation) .
I tried to search some articles about those subjects on the Internet generally.I found two books regarding Networks security and Brod band Networks in the library and i red the contents and introductions.Thus i will write a very Small summaries of those.

BROADBAND NETWORKS:This module addresses modern techniques in communication industry. The topics spans across methods for data transmission in the global communications, types of networks and current protocols determining new standards for the industry. New and emerging broadband technologies will also be discussed.
Network Security:The goal of that book is to educate the students about the overall security process based on a security policy design and management emphasis is placed on security technologies ,products,and solution.
Unfortunately i have not tried to make an appointment to meet my course leader.But i am going to do it next weak.I am sure it would help me to find out more about it.

task 3

I was confused in using (s and , and ' ) in singular/plural , present simples' third person or possessive.So i mad mistakes grammatically.Some times i forgot to add 's' after the third person verbs.For example i did not know we have to add a 's' after verb which is coming in present simple tense: Everybody ,Anybody,Anyone ,Everyone.Recently,i decided to improve those parts of grammar.Thus i got a grammar book with a DVD and few advice from my friends and teacher .I practiced them and i think now i am able to use them correctly.In the following i will give several example and explanations.
-Everybody/Everyone..+ is/has: if we use present simple tens ,we must add 's' after verb which is coming in the following.
-Some times for a group of people we are using a singular adjective: the young the old the poor.
Some times we use 'a/an' as a singular before a group which we think it might be plural: a family is/has.... .
-If a plural noun is coming after an adjective we must use plural adjective: teenagers men/women.
-Another always is +singular . Ex: Can i have another biscuit?
-Other +plural . Ex: where are the other students?
I recommend the students to review these parts of grammar again because i can see every day that the students are using these incorrectly as well.

task 2

I have been learning English language for about one year also i have been living in London during this year .It is quit long time but i am almost satisfied of my progress because i had started learning English language from elementary class.I have to work hard to improve my English during these three months which i think each month is equal one year studding in the college.In the following i will discuss my weakest and strongest parts.

I am quite good at listening.I can recognize the word and pronunciation even if i do not know the meaning. I can understand the people in the street also news ,TV and the radio.
My speaking is good and people can understand me but as i am a impatient person i do not like thinking about grammar thus some times i mad mistakes grammatically.For example i forgot to add 's' for possessives or plural.Totally my speaking and listening are good because i have been living hear for long time also every nights i listen to radio (BBC4 ) before i go to the bed.

My weakest parts which i am worried about is writing .As you can see now i have a lot mistakes in writing and in every exam which i did before the lowest marks was writing.Another of the my weakest parts is reading .I am very slow in reading and i can not scan the text i mean quick reading.
I asked some teachers to help me to improve the writing and the reading most of them recommended to read some interesting books or articles every day also keep writing about some things interesting in any styles.I agree with this idea but it is not enough in Short time .

At the end i hope my English particularly writing and reading will have improved by end of this course.
