Subject: Reading 5

As usual, I have to say something before coming to the point. I have to say that, once again, I´m kind of disappointed because I read some stories, such as ´Alice in Wonderland´ and others about bedtime, but at least, the ones I read there were no exercises to be done. Anyway, I had fun because it reminded me my childhood.

As for the text I´m going to talk about, it is called ´Woman Talks to Murder Suspect´, which is about a woman who sees a recent murder suspect at a nudist camp and calls the police after talking to the man. By the way, I just cannot swallow the fact that the woman talk to that suspect in order to know him better. Come on! I wish I could talk to this woman to know what she had in mind when she decided doing that. She had probably taken some drugs, for real.

Since the text was very easy, my scores were high. There is one thing I´m upset about because it has not been the first time it has happened. Sometimes I click on the right answer and they say it is wrong. However, it is not, because they themselves type the same answer. I just can´t understand that. I believe computers are just like us, I mean they can make mistakes as well...

The reason why I think the site is interesting is, actually because it gives a bunch of opportunities for students to choose a text they really want and also, be mad at them, sometimes (laughs). One good thing is that once they are mad I guess they learn more. Why am I saying that? Because I myself won´t forget the questions and answers the computers wrote I made a mistake. Therefore, those vocabulary will be in my mind. It is a good point, isn´t it? By the way, have I made myself clear?

Renata Nascimento.
