Individual Task

             Last week we are requiring to do a task and need to present it on Friday…we are given a piece of paper and in each of the paper contain a different question that we must draw something to solve the problem. My question is ‘What is the radio playing at the moment? ’. When I get this type of question I was thinking what can I draw with this question to make it look different.. hmmmm…

            Then I decide to solve this question by listening to the radio. When I switch on the radio and the radio was play the love song the tittle of the song is ‘Perfect Two’. After that I’m thinking to draw something fun that relate to the song.. and this is what I draw…

            I draw the music note was dancing with his couple happily and enjoy the moment. Other than that I also draw the thing like glass, shoes and peanut this entire thing I get from the lyric of the song.

            While I was drawing, suddenly the song is being played out and then followed by reading news. Than at the moment I was thinking to draw something else but the paper already full with the drawing of the song so I decided do draw at another paper and this is what I get..

            The news is about MH370 it is the famous issue right now. So I’m thinking to draw the story about MH370 from the beginning it disappears until it found.  It is a sad story and nobody want this tragedy happen but it’s already happen and we just can pray that tragedy like this would not happen again in the future.   

            

WHAT I GET FROM THIS TASK :

• This kind of task tech me to think different and make my imagination become wider. From the imagination we can create many thing that other person may not think about this. And each person have different imagination and we can share it to let other people know what we think and feel.
• Other than that I also learnt to express my feeling whether happy, angry, fun and many more in drawing and I find that the drawing that we draw with a different mood will bring a different result. The drawing with a mood will bring the outcome more interesting and beautiful.
• Lastly, we should not depend only in google to find a solution for each of our problem. Sometime we can use a manual to find a solution of our problem. Other than that peer learning also help in solving a problem.

what we get from the previous learning

       Last week we are require to do a presentation about what we learnt from the first day we study about the subject academic skill.  Each of us must present our own blog and what we get from that. After that each of us must give 3 good things and 3 things that we can improve for our friend presentation. I must talk about xu hui presentation for me her presentation have a lot to improve such as must speak more louder, not to be shy, improve the English, and must update the blog. But I’m respect her afford to speak in English although it is not a proper sentences.

            For me the person that is good in presentation is samira. She has her own confident level and it can take all the attention from the audient to see and want to know what she wants to present. Other than that her eye contact with the audient also good. But she also need to improve something like reduce using the word ‘arrr…’ and also use the words that is simple but have a compact meaning.

            Here all the comment that I get from my previous presentation. My friend Alexis said that I should improve my English, reduce the shaking while present and also louder the voice. Miss Nadyra said that I have many improvements from a very shy girl to be better than before this. She also said that I have to be more informative and creative in elaborate the point. Samira said that I should be braver because I’m good but very shy.

            From here I know what I should do, maybe I should join the English class to improve my English or read a lot of English article or English material. Other than that maybe I should use more English in my conversation in daily life so that I will be wonted to speak English without feel scare and shy. For my shaking problem while I’m present, I think I must do something to overcome it like miss Nadyra said we can overcome it by looking to the person that we feel comfortable and after that we can slowly looking to the other. But maybe I can wear a sunglasses to avoid looking at the audient eyes..hehehe..

For the voice problem maybe I can practice speak at the field and ask somebody to seat far from me maybe in 100m and listen for what I want to say. I must try to speak until the person here my voice clearly or maybe I just use the microphone..haha.. I think my voice become slowly because I’m not prepare and feel scare in front of the audient and I’m not have a confident to present. So after this I must be prepare when I want to do a presentation, be more confident and said it louder so that all the audient will know what I want to convey in my presentation.

           For the last problem that I face is to elaborate the point. I think I have prepare all the thing that I want to talk in my presentation but when the time to present I lost all the point and I forget what I want and must elaborate. I think after this I must write down what I want to said because my weakness is scare and when I scare I lost everything, I must control my fear and I will try to control it slowly.

           

          Other than presentation miss Nadyra also want us to search a meaning of word peer learning. Peer learning is an educational practice in which students interact with other students to attain educational goals.  In this context, it can be compared to the practices that go by the name cooperative learning.  It is useful for us because easy for us to understand maybe the reason of this because our thinking are same. Other than that we can communicate easily with our friend and maybe we can feel more comfortable when we sharing what we get and know with our friend, sharing is caring right. so from here we can get more information and more thing that we can apply to our life.
