孟孟(Catherine)'s lab6 homework

It was again to use the interesting computer room in the international building. This time, Simon provided us with websites providing many interesting tests to do. The first test I did was finding appositive. Appositive means that an occasion when a simple sentence contains two or more noun phrases that describe the same thing or person, appearing one after the other without a word such as 'and' or 'or' between them. There is a example : My favorite tree, the horse hestnut, stands in our yard. The answer is the horse hestnut.

The second one I did was about personality types. It will give you a sentence to describe the word you have to guess. For example: Person who likes to share many things with others. The correct answer is generous. To compare this test with the first test I did, this test is more meaningful because I learned how to use a complete sentence to describe a personility by English. Moreover, this game can help me to improve my listening ability.

The last one I tried was the game about friendship. It gave you many situations and you have to choose the answer you are likely to react to the situation. After I finish all of the questions, I think the result is not correct about me.

I also found some online websites which can help you to practice listening ability.
