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.

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 1st Reflection.
Before entering class, I still wondering who will be our lecturer for
this semester. I came late and I see our lecturer haven't come in yet . So I went back to class to find a seat . I saw Ms.Maryati pass by and didn't come in our class. Just a few second later, Ms.Maryati came in from back door, well, I didn't felt surprise. Class was about to start, but there are a lot of classmate still haven't show up including my friends who missed the bus.Without wasting time, class still go on with a common idiom, "A picture
paints a thousand words", means a picture can represent a lot of words.We continue by guessing idioms from pictures and some alphabets given and I am the first person to select letters.We had "butterflies in my stomach","caught red-handed", "it's is raining
cats and dogs" and "A wolf with a sheep's clothing". After the game, we given watch a video clip and been ask to create an ending for it. My ending would be, the man have been searching the woman for a couple years without tired. The man realized if he didn't do anything he can lost the woman forever. After a couple years, they finally met again in the train. In the same place as the first place the met, exactly the same seat the woman sitting with a man and they seem warm it means that the woman had been married. Just a few second later, the man and the woman saw each other and felt familiar with one another yet they can't remember why. The woman smiled to him and the man was upset because too late to find her. The man struggle with his feeling until the woman reach her station then the feeling ends he finally believe there could be no marriage between them. Fate of a person has been determined by God.
