An Education


We walked in the theater hall and we saw theres a picture of a couple something like the fault in our star was shown on the projector.We wondered is this something the same as TFIOS..Miss jo started our class that morning with a question that needed us to ponder what do we really think culture shock is and how to avoid on drowning in this situation or environment..The 2nd task was to sort what's the negativity,neutrality and positivity between Malaysia and United States. Right after that we were assign to watch the movie titled ' An Education'.It's a British and we were hopping it was american but however we enjoyed it as there's bundles of moral values.After watching I eagerly agree that education is really important in our life.Money itself is not worth it if we don't have any knowledge to create our future.In the movie,the smart girl was influence by a wealthy man who offered her things that she can't afford such as to a show situated thousand miles from her place.Therefore,days by days she got attached to the man and slowly ignore her education till her grades was disappointing.Before she met the guy what's on her head was to study in Oxford.Those thing just fade off when she met that guy as she thought she found and could see her future. Furthermore, the purpose of education is to create a beautiful future for each of us.We will not want for a dull future where we just stay at home doing nothing looking people being successful in their life.To me that's not even a life it is better not to live.Education brings us to think rationally..Do things perfectly yet brilliantly.So,as the conclusion education somehow important either we can afford it or not.Knowledge can be find in many ways.

Structure to stand A thick ToEfL book



     Late update..sorry miss jo..heheh..so, we played another game last week..it was something to do with the speed of your thinking and how high your knowledge are..So miss jo read out a few task such as in 10 seconds list out 10 types of clothing.That was one of it.We were also given a few challenges based on the criteria read by miss jo like the prettiest person in your group stand up and they were asked to stand at the back of the class.We wondered why and when they are ready miss jo read out what actually they need to do.They had to pose and imagine as if they are artist in a photoshoot.Amazingly all of them were sporting and to the best pose obtained 100 points.Before I forget,each task has points and I'll tell you what are they for in the end.Another event who captured our attention was where Afiq,a shy boy who rarely speaks in the class sang as if he weren't himself.We were suprised of the way he sang 'twinkle little star' upon the task which were sing a song you usually sing during your childhood.Everyone yet Miss Jo were stunned and started laughing like crazy people till my tears flew out.At the end,those points collected were needed to buy stuffs for building a structure on supporting about 1kg book I guess.Here,creativity were needed.Me n my teammates think of several ways and we figured out a simple and stiff structure where only 4 long cylindrical papers needed.Unfortunately, it was not 35 cm tall so we lost.I were so suprised when Miss Jo said if she had to choose the strongest structure if I'm not mistaken she would've choose ours as it was easy to place the book on it.We used up all of our points to buy time and the stuff sold by Miss Jo to build our sturucture..hahahah..We had fun till we did not realised it was 2.30 p.m as our class was supposed to end at 1 p.m...Thanks Miss Jo for the wonderful game introduced to us

sketch Day...



We had a sketch today..Obviously I'm not good in acting and I do envy those who acts awesomely like Hadhirah and Amir Farhan..not to forget iga Hadi.8 groups were assigned on creating our own sketch as creative as possible.In my team there was Adli,Iga Hadi and Bo.We came out a sketch line on 3 heroes defeating a witch.Stop right there.I have forgotten something on clarifying the theme of the sketch.Miss Jo assigned us on Malaysian character Vs Americans character. Therefore in a group there were 2 malaysian and 2 American characters.So, I choosed cicakman under the fictional Malaysian character so do Iga Hadi as Aisyah 50 cents.However Adli and Bo were the Americans and they acted as squidward and witch.The witch was the main person in our play.In the time given,we managed to make it done.It was quite embarrassing as during our acting there was other students who just finished their class and I stunned till it ruined our plan.I felt sorry to my group as I were the only one who did not do that well and I feel that I had put down some of my classmates's perseption towards me.So,what i had learn from this task today is you should not be to shy and just do it!Do whatever you wanna do and ignore the environment.Other than that, worse come to worse you must really manage the time given to settle down everything. This might be cliche but it's one of the main thing when it's group work, cooperation between members.
