Reflection on Page 42

I did a lot of grammar mistakes, and I don't think that I've achieved what I've wanted. According to Danial, he said that I need to include comas in my sentences. I also need to improve on the words I use in the text.

Exam Reflection

I did A LOT of careless mistakes during the mock exam...

• Stated the obvious: " Disabled people are people who are disabled"
• Did not read the question carefully
• I was rushing with my last question.
• Spelling error
• Misinterpret the image given on question 2.

I would improve this by READING the questions carefully and stop panicking

Learn to think " Quality not quantity"

I would do some more practice on language techniques to answer question 4.

PEE- I need to use this...

Writing an unfamiliar :)

A white time machine. It takes you back in time. All you have to do is get on it, and let your mind take it's course. The next thing you know, you're in the future.. Just like a portal into another world.

Tempting. It is jealous of my relationships with a round and red time bomb which goes off at the right time each day. You feel protected under it's soft, gentle arms. A comfortable chamber where you can think in peace, a place where you can hide from evil monsters. It's an inanimate object, yet you can feel it's presence trying to get hold of your soul. Resisting isn't an option when you are at your limit. Slowly you are drawn towards the big cloud, feeling tranquil, feeling serene..

Making the familiar unfamiliar

A connection that links me to the outside world. Always there with me no matter what; Just like an angel following me. It looks unique and fragile, yet it can do so many things. You can use it as a mirror and even capture the moment of time. You can't be abusive and throw it on the floor or any rough surfaces as it may no longer reply to your needs and wants. If you want it back in your life again, you may need to pay the price because nothing is free. You can't use it forever as it needs to regain it's strength to work efficiently. Sometimes if you leave it for too long to regain it's energy, it'll also no longer work. It'll become lazy and stop working very fast and become rusty. Having a friend like this is kind of troublesome.You will never know when it might abandon you again. The good part is that when the time is right, you will have the will replace it no matter what. There are no regrets after one replacement. You will get a better one every time.

Reflection:

Uses more emotions in my discussion. I should be able to speak without stopping and uses more persuasive techniques. I should also learn to react more and appropriate times. And most importantly, I should learn to stop stuttering

Reflection

I've learnt 5 new vocabularies this week from the Baubab story. I wrote 3 of them in a google docs. When i went home, i tried to make sentence and memorize it.

The comments for our writing in the blog are very useful. It helped me to see what i went wrong and what are my strengths. We did mundane: which helped me to make any subject interesting. I think this is a really good exercise.

I learnt not to rush through my essay and it's not about quantity but quality ( I tend to forget that..)

Watching the clock tick.

My timer was set exactly to 300 seconds. I looked at the clock and thought "300 seconds left..time is short". As I looked down from my fourth floor apartment, fear came rushing into my veins. I was terrorized by the height I was in. 290 seconds left and I gather all the necessary items needed for my departure: A paper, a pen, a knife and I was left with 250 seconds. I watched as the clock ticked slowly towards the future. Every second is a second after the past. I inhaled and exhaled slowly. My eyes grew tired, and I began to yawn. My heartbeat became faster and faster as I counted the seconds passed. 100 seconds left and I'm still here, waiting for the right moment. What do they mean by "Time is valuable" or " Don't waste your time". I have never actually got the meaning of it.

I picked up a book as I looked at the clock: 90 seconds left. "Get a hold of yourself" was the first sentence I read. I began to question myself and started feeling uncertain about what I am about to do. 1 minute left and I began to keep the letter that I wrote to my mom inside a nice colored envelope saying " To my lovely mom". Tears began to role down my cheeks as I checked the time: 40 seconds left. I waited and waited until the time is right, until my gut kicks in saying " Yes! now is the time! go for it". But nothing seems to be happening. 30 seconds left as I lie back on my bed with the sound of my heart pounding loudly in my head. 15 seconds left and there was when my guy kicked in. I hurried and walked towards the window and took the first step on the base of the window.

My mom came barging into the room as she tried to grasp for air. She pleaded me to come back down but I refused. 10 seconds left and I am feeling in doubt of my actions. "8, 7, 6..." and as I was getting ready to jump, my mom burst into tears. "5..4..."and I leaped out of the window and fall to my death while counting "3...2....". In spite of all that, I never knew there was a tree outside the window. As I counted to "1", my body fell hard against the tree and broke my fall. Now I understand the term "Time is precious" because every second counts.
