1. Describe the strategy you usually use in learning English, especially for active speaking.
Elaborate your habits.

2. What do you think about your performance (speaking skills) on the use of thanking and
the responses expressions in informal interaction? (Self-reflection)

3. What is the strengths and weaknesses of Chapter 2 (Thanking and the responses) for the
improvement of the book we use. Give your feedback. Give additional expressions you
have if they have not been written in the book yet.

1. The strategy that I sometimes use is listening to songs and watching English films which
can help enrich my vocabulary and understanding of grammar.
I also Use English Learning Apps: Apps like Duolingo, these apps can help me expand my
vocabulary and improve my understanding of grammar
2. Whenever someone thanks me, I try to respond with a warm, friendly phrase like “you're
welcome” or “no problem” to let them know how much I appreciate it.
Although I am quite comfortable using expressions of thanks and reply in casual
conversation that I usually use, I am still willing to learn more and develop my
communication skills. To continue to develop in this field, I try to continue studying
expressions that people use in everyday life and learn from them.
3. in chapter 2 I think it's good. Occasionally I am still confused about the thank you words
and replies that are written, because some of the sentences used are sentences that I
have never used in conversation, such as the sentence "thanks a million". but this also
helps to increase my knowledge of new sentences.
