Final reflection

It seems that this semester is extremely short.Time flies when we are busing with all kinds of work.However I have learnt many things in this semester and es2007s has given me something more than knowledge.

I am more experienced in searching and filtering information. I have also gained knowledge in job application process and presenting information.More importantly, I am more confident and socialized than before.I had chance to get closer to people from different background and work with different people.That makes me feel connected to the world and gives me a sense of "communication".

we have a clearer guidelines for us to follow when we come across situations like interviews.we were provided with chance to obtain reflections from the interviewers.This is not only good practice but a valuable opportunity to get to know our own strength and weaknesses so that we can progress on.
 
From the experience in peer teaching and the oral presentation,I find that more preparation and practice do make a difference.so I am very grateful for having this module to make myself more prepared for the future.

thank you all and you guys are really nice people~good luck for your exams.

Reflection on oral presentation

I was quite nervous at first because my previous presentation did not receive well.I tried to improve by writing out everything  I need to say and practice in front of an mirror.( I was practicing in a school toilet since I do not have a large mirror at home and was afraid of people coming in suddenly.They may think I was crazy...⊙﹏⊙b)

I felt more confident than last time but when I stood in front of the class,I knew nervous may not be something controllable ╮(╯_╰)╭. My did not pronounce very accurately and had to stop to repeat here and there.But then, something saved me. Yes, that's the camera!\(^o^)/~ It kept having problems like no battery, no memory, and so on. However, I calmed down while waiting for the problems to be solved.(Ms Lim apologized for keep me waiting but I actually wanted to say thank you to the camera...)

So when I started presenting again, I was quite calm and I could feel that I was doing better and better.I was trying to show my hand gestures and I hope they did not appear too little.The time control was better this time and I stopped at around 10 seconds later when Calvin signaled time out.( I felt like answering "yes" at that time.)

Ally's presentation actually inspired me and I feel her voice and tone were quite suitable for our topic, too.I might have also learned from the others here and there unconsciously.So a big thank you to you all~
