While we were studying, the electricity was cut. Because of this reason, we can not study anymore because the weather was very hot and the light was not enough. So, teacher assigned us to highlight discourse markers ,and did the diagram during power outage outside the classroom.

When the electricity was back, teacher told us to present VDOs about how to make something and we will study new lesson on Sunday. 

What did you find easy?
Answering question was easy.

What did you find difficult?
I was confused between cause and effect.

What did you solve the problem?
I highlighted discourse markers, read that sentence carefully and tried switching between cause and effect to find which one was correct.

What are your attitudes towards the lesson?
I can more understand and find which is cause or effect, something happen and result of it.
