College Writing : Quiz 2 Review

Assalamualaikum :)

                     This is my result of quiz 2. I don't think it gave me much different from before. I do learn something all over this semester. I guess I am just bad at it. No matter how, I will do my best in the final. All over this sem, my problem is just with the language. I should have more vocab and efficient in making a concise sentence. When I answer this paper, I just misunderstood what actually is a descriptive essay. I wrote them in a really different way. That's why I get it wrong because I actually have a good content in it. It is just the way I write. That's what makes it wrong. I guess, I will try to learn all over about my mistakes and try not to repeat them in the future. Thank you!

Review 4 : Descriptive Essay

Assalamualaikum :)

                              This is my fourth review for college writing. This is a descriptive essay that we have done. Actually, it is a pairwork. This is what my partner have actually wrote. I guess not much to say that Mr. Adlan have already said that we wrote it in the wrong way. It should be descriptive not narrative. This is where the part I find this essay is quite tricky. I don't think it is that hard but it could turn quite tricky with our choice of words. It needs a lot of adjective in it that would descrive a certain situation. Thank you!

Review 3 : Classification Essay

Assalamualaikum :)

                  This is my third review for college writing essay. This is classification essay where we have to classify certain topics into three big characteristics that will  cover all the things that we are talking about. As in this essay, I wrote about types of outdoor activities. I guess a lot actually went wrong in this essay that I gave the wrong meaning about the definition of it. It is stated there that I have a lot of language error. I guess I am bad at this too. Overall, I see this essay is quite easy to write but hard to brainstorm because it require us to denominate everything. Thank you!

Review 2 : Exemplification Essay.

Assalamualaikum :)

               This is another essay that we have done in a group. This essay genre is exemplification essay. Roughly, it is all about giving examples. We are telling the readers things that they already know and we want some approval from the readers. Our group decided to do examples of culture in Korea as our topic for this essay. Examples that we gave is their lifestyles, traditional arts and entertainment. We believe Korea is a strong country that could lead us to a lot of examples. Korea is already well-known with its name and that's why we choose this topic. We do realize somehow this essay is quite easy than other essay that we have learnt. We just need to give examples and examples even on the CI and SD or Elaboration. After all, it can be quite tricky too. The only thing that lack maybe from some grammatical mistakes. What ever it is, we are satisfied with our cooperation in doing this essay. Thank you, friends! :D

Review 1 : Definition Essay.

Assalamualaikum :)

                       As far as learning writing with Mr. Adlan. This is one of our essay that have been made by group which is each one of us were told to write a paragraph for this essay. Definition essay is one of the genre that we learnt. As far what I understand, definition essay is use to define anything and assuming that the reader don't know anything about the topic we wanted to write about. This essay could be easy but sometimes tricky to me. So, our group decided to choose Dr. Hannibal Lecter as our first definition essay. We choose to tell the readers about this topic because not much people know about him. He could be an interesting person to be tell about. From this essay, we could tell how to denominate each controlling idea with a good supporting detail. What can be tricky is sometimes the supporting detail did not fall under the controlling idea. But, to me, I believe we have did our best in using better words and sentences. I believe we can improve more with exercise. Pray for our final exam! :D

College Writing - Quiz 1 review.

What goes wrong?
             
                    I believe this part will be quite long. Quite? Maybe. From the first page, everything is wrong obviously. I got no mark for section A. What a shame. I've never know that I'm not good with this kind of question. I don't even know how to differentiate between topic and the controlling idea. Then, Sir Adlan gave me the answer. Yup, I just knew about it. I'm the who should be blame for this. I should do more research about writing.

                       Move on to the page two which is Section B. The question is Studying in a study group can be FUN. Fun, that's the key but I insist to go with the study group. Got one mark for that question. Not bad, at least I did get some mark for it *cries*. The thing is, I should write, what is actually fun about study group?. That's it. It is not about the beneficial. Everyone knows about it. Study group in a fun way such as exchange information with minimap which is FUN. I was too confident about it. Question 2, Ummm that should go with what goes right. Teheee.

                         Now, Section C. The disadvantages of television. The longest part. I got some COW which means Choice Of Word. I really thought it was a cow because Sir Adlan put it on word Laziness. You know, cow and laziness. Yes, I was wrong. I should write unfit body or anything that's much more proper. Plus, I don't know how to elaborate more about the brain. I'm not a science stream students *cries again*. That's an excuse actually. Hihi. Then, I got some redundant. Well, a lot actually. I lost in the communicative problems. I didn't state about the television. I'm sorry, Mr. Adlan. I'm carried away by the question. Just realize that. I have some problems with the choice of word again. I need to read more. I am really bad with my vocab. Sorry again.


 What goes right? 

             Not much. But I got some correct. Quite proud of it. Section B for question 2, not bad. At least I understand the question. I got 4 marks for the thesis statement. I did it right. Yeay!. I actually know about the physiological health issues. I know it is about physical problems. I remember that I learned it in my ERT (Ekonomi Rumah Tangga) subject. That's a good thing, I guess. For the Communicative problems, I'm only good with the supporting detail. I should improvise it. Lastly, Moral Decadance, I have a lot of ideas about it. It just lead to redundancy but I got some correct. I use some of Mr. Adlan has told me before about television issues.

                     I guess, that's it. Not much right. I got C+ for it. I need to improve my vocab, sentence structure and grammar obviously. I need to read more substance than english novels, I guess. No worries. I should do the best for the second quiz and final exam. I just need to learn more and do more exercise. Gambate!


 

Who am I?

Assalamualaikum :)



                  Hello readers. This post will be all about myself. I will tell you almost everything. Almost. First and foremost, we will start by my name. My full name is Nurul Shafiqah Binti Md. Zaidi. People have been calling me eiqa or piqa. Up to you, your choice as long as it is my name. At this point, it will be better as eiqa because in my class, we have another Syafiqah and they called her, Piqa. Well, anyway that's not important.

                       I'm from a small town named Kota Tinggi in Johor. Actually, I was born in Negeri Sembilan but I was raised in Johor. I came from a small family. Only consists of my mother, step-father and me. The story is, my biological father and mother was divorced since I was a baby. My mother married a man when i was 7 years old. Back then, I have a sister. Her name is Atiqah. Yes, we share the same name. She's the one that insist to get me a name that is similar to her. It was not long. She passed away when she was 13 years old. Quite young, right?. At that time, I was 9 years old. So, that's the last memory I had with her. Since she passed away, my mother only have me. That makes me as her one and only daughter.

                          After a few years of marriage, it turns worse. My mother had to work because my step father won't find money. She had to pay almost everything. She build her strength and get divorced with that man. She takes care of me for quite few years. From there, I know. I have to change our life. I have to study hard and make her proud of me. At the very least I can give her for now is my passion in studying. By making her proud with my achievement in education. The only least I can give her. The biggest will come. InsyaAllah. Then, she remarried a man as a second wife. Started from that I kind of understand what actually is a polygamy.

                       Enough about my family. Now, it's me. I don't really know how to interpret my ownself actually. I used to write a lot before but then I stopped to focus for SPM. I wish I could write again. So, currently I'm studying in UITM taking foundation of TESL. It's such an honor for me to have this opportunity. Besides, It comes with big responsibilities on my shoulder towards myself, my family and our future generation. I might not be a teacher someday but taking this course actually educating us how to educate people. At least I can contribute to this country with all the knowledge that I know.

                       Maybe not just being a teacher. Maybe I could inspire someone or lots of people. I don't know. It's Allah's plans. I'll just go with the flow. I believe in Allah's plans because I'm the servant. I know Allah will give me something that deserves me well. For taking my first step as being a Teslians, Thank you Allah. I hope by taking this course could create me into a character that a University actually means. Just as you said Mr. Adlan, "the reality is, there is none". As well, Thank you sir for opening my mind real wide. So now I can see the world from very different view.


With love, Shafiqah Zaidi.
