Assalamualaikum & Hello

Early morning today, I went to pick my friend, Amy up at her rent house. Since, our Math class started at 11 a.m., we went for breakfast at 9.30 a.m at Aidaina Restaurant, Seksyen 7 near Unisel. Amy and I both ordered 'Nasi Lemak' with warm water. 

Math class end at 1 o'clock. Then, we went to Unisel 'surau' for Zuhur prayer. At 2 o'clock, we continued our English session with Mdm Norbaiti. Today, she prepared an activity for us again. She gave us a poem and we have to understand the meaning of the poem. The poem was called 40-Love by Roger McGough. The poem given was "Middle aged couple playing tennis when the game ends and they go home the net will still be between them." In my opinion, the poem was about the couple being together but the connection was not there. There is a boundaries between them when they're together. Mdm Norbaiti wanted us to do a graphic type of our understanding of our poem and we have to present it on the front of the class. I paired up with Fara. All the other pair done great. Great illustration and great speaking. I had all the word in my mind but when it's our turn, I choked up. Fara was nervous as she is. We didn't present well. In the end, Mdm just let us to remain seated. My lack of confidence and public speaking had ruined many opportunity in my life. I hate that. I hope I could do better and better after this.

I think it is good that Mdm did this kind of activity to improve our speaking and fix our mistakes. She also made us know about the poem that we never knew before. I really hope she will do this kind of activity again in the next class. Thank you..
