From the beginning class of General English 2, it is quite slow and boring. It is because we did not know what we have to do and our time is always free. During class hour, we always do a reading from the book of ‘The lion and Hibiscus’ from one chapter to one chapter. After few weeks, we have started received the assignments. The assignments are from the first till the last assignment which is from the journal entries as assessment 1, summary as assessment 3, book review as assessment 4 and the last is role play as assessment 5.

For the assessment two we have done it in the class for about 1 and half hour. This assessment is writing a short story about 1000 words. Last Monday, we have to go to the main hall to do a voice projection for the role play that will be done in a few weeks coming. There are a few comments to the students from Madam Yaya for their voice, pronunciation and also their intonation. It is quite interesting and quite nervous whether we manage to do the best for this voice projection practice. Overall, the General Communication 2 class for this semester is quite interesting, challenging, fascinating and also quite motivating.

POEM (I WISH)

2008-03-18T18:22:00.001-07:00

I wish I was a SUN,
That can shine to Humans and give them vitamins,
Can give enough light to the earth,
I wish I was a SUN,
That can shine to the plants for them to raise food
I wish I was a SUN,
That only one in this world, not two or more.

I wish I had WINGS,
I could fly everywhere, anywhere, over this world.
I wish I had WINGS,
That I could fly freely.
I wish I had WINGS,
That I can go anywhere by using my WINGS.

I wish I could be a MILLIONAIRE,
That can helps poor people and donate to them.
I wish I could be a MILLIONAIRE,
I could buy a big bungalow for my family.
I wish I could be a MILLIONAIRE,
I could buy a new brand and expensive car.

I wish I can be like my entire wish,
But I can realize that,
To be like what I wish is
Really impossible to me.
