UFS201 5th Reflection
Our class start at 9.30a.m. because our lecture said that she is hungry, so she have to eat first. As usual, we start our class after she took our attendance. Today we cover 3 chapter, yet luckily I can catch up a bit, not all. We learn about Modal Verb, Reported Speech and Preposition of Direction. I only focus on copying notes today, so I don't actually know what I get in the class. I feel guilty to Ms. Atee when she asked us what is the modal verb, but we all just keep quiet and wait for the answers. Ms. Atee give us some advice and I promise to try my best to improve myself.

There are 3 main types of conditional sentences. I don't really get to know it. After that we are asked to make a promotion of instant noodle by using the 3 types of conditional sentences. I make up the 3 sentences and to be fair I let my friend Yasran present it . Our group made a little mistake. I forgot to use some words that must be used in conditional sentences but we managed to solve it well.

UFS201 3rd Reflection
To be honest, I did not attend English For Specific Purpose class which
is on 27th of June 2012 because I have severe menstrual problem that
caused me to faint. It will happen at a certain time. I have to take medicine to prevent the menstrual
pain. All day I could only lay on the bed. My mother wants to take me to the hospital but I refused because I hate seeing the doctor and the medication .
Although I know that on that day, each group should present their own
ghost stories but I am thankful that my group members can present it
well even without me.

UFS201 2nd Reflection
2nd reflection is about the song that Ms.Atee played in the class, "Break Away". She ask us to find phrasal verb from the song. My listening doesn't that good so I only able to find 5 out of 10. Yet, Ms.Atee show us the answer at last. After that, we had been ask to make 2 phrase of lyrics with some phrasal verb inside it. Me and arefiq make the lyrics and to be fair in group, we let our friend Sobri present it. We enjoy making the song and that is the first time we made it even less appealing.
