A12's Wall: Unload here!

Please leave any comments or feedback here. You can write on any or all of the suggested topics below.

1) On Speedtalk:
If this is your first experience doing Speed Talk, what do you think about it? Do you like this activity? In UHL 2322, there is a little twist in Speed Talk, Speed Talk this time asks you to prepare a question inviting or soliciting opinions, rather than asking for information like we did last semester (for those who have done it before last sem).

So, what was your question? What were your own thoughts on that topic? And out of all the opinions your friends gave you, which answer did you like most and why?

When we swapped roles, and you were on the receiving end, which question was most interesting to you?

2) On Opinion Headlines:
a) Which Opinion Headline was most interesting to you?
b) What attracted you to the Headline?
c) Was the story behind it as interesting as you thought it to be?


3) New Words: What new words have you learnt today? What was interesting about the word that you remembered it?

4) New Readings: What have you read today? What type of reading text was it? Was it a poem, a story, a magazine article, a play, a summary? What did you like about it and why?

5) New Movies: What movie have you watched recently that you'd like to share with others? Was it a good movie that you'd recommend others to watch?

6) Something I learnt in class today: I think this topic is self explanatory. Basically discuss what you learnt in class regardless if it has anything to do with English or not. E.g. Today I learnt that there's no such thing as a stupid question....

Opinion headlines and speed talk, both combine together really makes the whole activity very interesting. In a way, we will be able to express out our opinion to others during the speed talk and get feedback from them, some might be solid feedback/opinion, some might be rude opinion or even some is meaningless opinion from others but all in all these opinion which will enable the person to know where their opinion headline stand as everyone opinion came out has a story behind it which makes this class social activity interesting and meaningful.

Lastly, Thanks for such an interactive class.

Hello..

For me, speedtalk is really interesting and this is the first time i'm doing it..it helps me to improve my knowledges and give me the chance to speak out about my topic as well..on opinion headlines, i feel really exciting as all of us talk about the current issues..it also teach me to throw away my inhibitions towards my friends.

salam..=>

I had watched the ‘2012’ movie..
I think this movie can make we feel regret of the bad things that we had done in our life.
Moreover, this movie teaches us to appreciate our life.
Besides, this movie can make we realize that our life is short.
So, don’t forget to watch this movie.
For sure you will enjoy it..=>

The latest movie i had watched was True Confession of a Hollywood Starlet..the story is about a spoiled young teenager whose having a lot of problems as she is an alcoholic and love to party..her mother was worried and so she send her to her friends house to go for a break for rehab..during her break she lived her life as a normal teenager..a lot of new things she learn there..~

I think this movie is very suitable for teenagers as it gives a lot of morals. The whole teenage things were revealed in this movie..lies, love and friendship..

New movie that i have watched is entitled "Ketika Cinta Bertasbih 2".The story is about the sacrifices that a brother made for his family's life. Technically, this movie is a connection from the movie "Ketika Cinta Bertasbih 1".The director highlited emotional issues from the hero,that is when he cannot find his true love after he have tried his best. Finally, as the muslims believe, all our fate have been stated in the 'Lauh Mahfuz' , he found his true love which is the one he has helped during he is in Cairo, Egypt.

Assalamualaikum and good evening..

i had read the headlines in The Star which is ' Money in coffin', bomoh arrested or cheating couple... This headline was most interesting to me because it attracted me to wake up and read this with curiously.

This was about bomoh who told a couple to put their life’s savings of RM750,000 into a coffin to cure an illness was arrested for cheating the couple. The bomoh duped the couple into believing that the husband, who had fallen ill suddenly, could be cured if they gave him RM750,000 to be placed in a coffin.

Definitely, this headline give more lessons how to manage my life with properly. I believed that everything in this world not come with easily, its need a full of responsibility and sacrifice. As a student, i must think carefully before making a decisions.

Regarding on the speed-talk :
This is something fresh and new to me. It is rare for me to have a class that is pack with games and activities. Seriously, learning language is not a happening things that can simply give joy to everyone. By having games or activities such as the speed-talk does really give me new experience and spirit. I do really enjoy the speed-talk and laughing out loud seeing people's act when they have given a chance to talk within a period of time. Despite of the noise, it does give me new knowledge and life-experience. I love it!
