      • One nominalization (e.g., “the analysis of data”),

      • Two linking devices (e.g., “however,” “therefore”).

    • Reflective journal

      Record and reflect on your reading progress and experience weekly (deadlines are Mondays, 11 p.m.). Think about the following: How have I contributed to my vocabulary and reading development this week? What have I read? Which words have I learnt? Am I satisfied with this week's progress? Do I need any assistance from my teacher? How did I use English this week? Was this week's course topic useful for me?

      + Reflection on Week 6 topic: “How could you apply Intensive Reading strategies when reading your own academic texts?"

      While writing, do not censor yourself too much; try to write freely, and don't worry about any grammar errors—this is a journal. You can switch to Czech if you don't feel like writing in English. Write min. 100 words per entry.
