What i have learn so far

Firstly, i have learnt about grammar which is the most basic requirement of English. Next, have learned about how to pick out important points from an essay. Following which, i have learnt about the structure of writing reader response and problem solution essay. I think that this progressive learning have helped me during this module since my foundation for English is poor.

I think that i have improved on content by learning how to add in-text citations and adopt a more organised structure.

I would like to learn more about how to elaborate my essay further during week 10-12 since it is my weakness. On top of that, my other weaknesses are poor grammar and lack of vocabulary. 

The comment given by Prof Misty is easy to understand but I feel that i am not very sure whether my correction is right or wrong after editing my mistake. The audio feedback is more straight forward but there is still a sense of uncertainty when editing my own work. Peer reviewing exercise for the problem solution essay helps me a lot as i am able to learn from my friends. However, i find it difficult to point out their grammatical mistakes as their essay looks good to me.  For the remaining weeks, i hope to improve on my in-text citations, structure of essay and elaboration on my essay.

Learning experience

In this post, I am going to talk about my experience while serving national service. Going through national service is indeed the toughest phase of my life because of my introvert character. To do well during national service, one needs to be outspoken and have the hunger to perform and show his leadership. However, I lost out in these aspects as I prefer to be led than lead. Furthermore, I do not have the advantage of being able settle down in a new environment quickly. Therefore, I am more likely to make lots of mistake during this period of time.

For my field camp in BMT, I have the mindset of wanting to survive the training and getting over with it instead of treating it as a learning experience. Learning experience referring to helping each other during the training, and being stronger physically and mentally. This is mainly due to my unpreparedness physically for the demanding tasks which we are required to perform. (Morning fast march, night mission, firing drill etc.)

However, I believe that my willingness to try helped me survive my journey in national service. Although it may not be good enough, but it will get me somewhere. Keep on trying is important as when a challenge arrives, you will be prepared to face it and overcome it. Now having completed national service and entering university life, I hope that my persistent in trying again will help me achieve desirable results this time.
