Wonder Wheel

I've never known that there is very useful function on Google: Wonder Wheel. This function is so useful and interesting. If you search the word with Wonder Wheel, Google tells you more specific categories related to the word you search. Moreover, you can do brainstorm with figure like you do in your mind! I really recommend you this function. :)
Thanks to this class, i can use the Internet more usefully!

My progress on my ARW/RCA readings

When I was high school students, I like English class so much and sometimes buy some easy English books by myself and read them. Actually, I thought that I am very good at English, I realized that it is wrong when I started new life in ICU in April. When I read the ELP Reader at the first time, I totally could not understand what the authors said. There are a lot of many words I have never come across and the sentences are too complicated to understand. Therefore, I've tried to read and understand the meanings and what the authors said with a dictionary in my hand during the spring term. Because of this effort, I realized that I could read English books much faster than before when I read books for summer reading assignment. Furthermore, I can guess the meanigs of the words I don't know. Actually, I cannot understand the whole contemplation and intention the authors try to convey. However, it is very big progress for me.
