The day myself present for the speaking corner.

September 5 2011

          Today is my turn to present my speaking corner. All of us have been given a title of 'Dream'. So, I did preparations wrote points about this topic, find the meaning of 'dream' itself and created a story that reflect to myself.
          The hardest things about this assessment are you have to know how to elaborate your point, be confident when you are talking in front of audience and be respond with people that you are talking with. While waiting for my turn, two of my friends have presented their assessments and we have to concentrate to them. When I heard my name have been called, I stand and went to in front of people to present my speaking corner. Honestly, I was so nervous as if I thought that I will fail to impress my lecturer and my friends about my speech.I talked about all my dreams and wished. I was keen to tell about what I dream of to be and what I wished since I was a child. About 2 minutes, I end my speech. I hope I have inspired my friends and will get appropriate marks for my pointer for this subject.
          I can see that people have many different dreams. I have been inspired by my friends' dreams too. Some of them want to be well-known person, have a luxury car or own a big house and many more.
          Everyone in this world has their own dreams. They dream of to be successful person, have a great job and career, have a happy family and so on. From my point of view, people will not get for whatever they want, unless the work hard for it and put a lot of efforts. You have to sacrifice some appropriates things and there's no easy way to fulfill your dream.

It always seems impossible until its done

First English Class For Second semester.


SEPTEMBER 21, 2011


Again! English class start at 8 o’clock in the morning, same time and venue as in the previous semester. So, we have to wake up in the early morning, furthermore we have to catch up for the shuttle bus.While on my way to class, in my mind, I was thinking about what will happen in the class for this semester and for sure I felt totally anxious .When I saw unpredictable things , it’s kind of little mixed up. Then, we entered our class as usual and the environment quite different as I have been with some new student. Well, it’s quite awkward to me.
         
          My lecturer for the English class is Madam Ummi Kalsom. She have strict-looking and made me scared! That’s just my first impression. But, she is really generous and gives many advises to us to be always well-prepared for any tests or exams.So as a start, we introduced ourselves. She talked about the class assessments and as usual, of course lecturer will tell us rules while being in the class, made an overview for this subject, and so on.
          Even though it’s was our first class, Madam Ummi have told us some assessments that we are going to do like speaking corner, group assignment and tutorials. Well, she already told us to do speaking corner, same as what we did in semester 1. For those who have fluent English, don’t really have to be worried but folk like me, have to put a lot of effort! How can I improve my English, madam ? L So, we should start to be well-prepared for the speaking assessment as it will start on next week, I guess. The speaking corner will contribute 10% for our carry marks. The person who are going to perform for this task whose name starting with A and followed by next alphabet. Unfortunately and apparently, my initial name is started with A! then, Madam Ummi mentioned 4 names, and luckily, my turn is not going to be next week, but for sure, the next two week! I planned to give all my best, so I will try to build a good speech for this speaking corner.

          The topic for us to present the speaking corner is 'Dream'. So, I was thinking, can I do about what I dream for my future? Or, it is going to be interesting if I talk about facts of 'Dream' while we are sleeping? Both can be accepted in the speaking corner. In my opinion, if we want to get high marks for this assessment, all of us should be well-prepared by preparing a good speech, interesting facts or opinions that can be shared among classmate, be confident while talking and so on. Well, that’s all for this first class. Will be continue J
