It is my first time attended class at night.I feel very tired because I have ko. at evening.But my friend Galang ,force me to attend the class.You know what,I and Galang was the first guys that come to the class,.other guys is come late to the class.if I know that,I will come late too.
for the lesson today,Miss Zu taught us about contextual clue.I don't know what is that.this is my first time heard about that.but at the end of the class,I can understand what is the contextual clue.
context Clues are hints that the author gives to help define a difficult or unusual word. The clue may appear within the same sentence as the word to which it refers, or it may be in a preceding or subsequent sentence. Because most of your vocabulary is gained through reading, it is important that you be able to recognize and take advantage of context clues.Types of context clues. There are at least four kinds of context clues that are quite common.
Synonym A synonym, or word with the same meaning, is used in the sentence. My opponent’s argument is fallacious, misleading – plain wrong.
Antonym A word or group of words that has the opposite meaning reveals the meaning of an unknown term. Although some men are loquacious, others hardly talk at all.
Explanation The unknown word is explained within the sentence or in a sentence immediately preceding. The patient is so somnolent that she requires medication to help her stay awake for more than a short time.
Example Specific examples are used to define the term.Celestial bodies, such as the sun, moon, and stars, are governed by predictable laws.
there are some exercise about contextual clue:

I also learn many new words like 'bizarre' .it is my first time heard that word.I think bizarre is something like name of animal or what.but I'm wrong,.bizarre has same meaning with weird and in Malay they call as "aneh"
we also divided into some of group to play a game.I think this game like a quiz.each group must answer 12 easy question.And as usually my group won.ahahaha
