1. Mina’s anxiety interferes with her learning in that she is anxious despite preparation for class and worried about making mistakes. Also, her learning style, intolerance of ambiguity, which does not prefer to deal with complex task and vague and unfamiliar assignments, does not facilitate her learning.

2. Mija used cognitive strategies in memorizing vocabulary and eval‎uating her process of learning.

On the other hand, Sojin applied affective strategies by taking a deep breath and mediating to deal with her anxiety before presentation. Also, she used sociocultural-interactive strategies by asking for clarification and actively participating in group activities.

3. I would recommend version 1 for low-level students since it simplified the genuine text ( in vocabulary and syntax) as shown in replacing ‘credulous’ with ‘believing’ and ‘used to be’ with ‘were’. For high-level students, on the other hand, version 2 will be recommended because it elaborated the genuine text by adding familiar words such as, ‘accidental’ and ‘humble’ where unfamiliar words ‘coincidences’ and ‘obscure’ were used and the use of ‘though’, ‘that’s why’ and ‘but’ made the thematic relations in text explicit.

4. The Internet decays people’s ability to remember where important information is and understand difficult materials, which has been built up through traditional reading. Now, people read on the Internet in a superficial way rather than in a deep processing by scanning or scrolling up and down quickly.
