Reflection On English Lesson
Main highlight of english lesson : Adverbial phrases and clauses
We were shown the difference between adverbial clauses and adverbial phrases.
There is a fine line between the two as a finite verb separates them.
We were then asked to do an activity involving the use of words such as even though, unless, wherever and others in sentence construction on a piece of mahjong to be shared with the class.
Many of us took this opportunity to make fun of Mr Sim and our classmates with silly sentences.

After 3 weeks of blogging, here comes the moment that we're waiting for...the BLOG AWARDS.
Hahahaha...i knew that i would not get any awards as i haven't done much decorations to my blog.
But one day! one day! I will rise from the depths of hell to the heights of heaven! Wait and watch me rise!
Emotional words was the highlights of the day's lesson.
As a class work, we were given a chance to perform certain emotion in front of the class after getting into groups and creating a play.
Some of us had really funny actions which made laughter surround the walls of our class.
What great FUN we had!!

Reflection On English Lesson
We went through the worksheet on present/past perfect tense
for english today. In addition, Mr Sim bombarded us with
vocabulary and comprehension exercises for the benefits of us.
I believe that such exercises would be helping us in a way or another unknowingly.

Samphire
I like the story "Samphire" as the author uses a wide variety of descriptive words to make the reader feel as if the characters sprang to life in the story. I manage to visualise the story easily with the author's language. In addition, the author uses the literary device, repitition, in the story to emphasise main points in the story making the reader paying more attention to those parts.
I learnt that we should be sensitive towards other's feelings and should not drive a person to their limits as that might break them down resulting in unpleasant situations to occur.
10 difficult words:
tang - a strong taste or flavor.
pneumatic - of or pertaining to air, gases, or wind.
octave - a tone on the eighth degree from a given tone.
falsetto - an unnaturally or artificially high-pitched voice or register, esp. in a man.
fondle - to handle or touch lovingly, affectionately, or tenderly; caress: to fondle a precious
object; to fondle a child.
aplomb - imperturbable self-possession, poise, or assurance.
assaulted - a violent physical or verbal attack.
writhed - to twist the body about, or squirm, as in pain, violent effort, etc.
promenade - a stroll or walk, esp. in a public place, as for pleasure or display.
steeplejack - a person who climbs steeples, towers, or the like, to build or repair them.
coined - devised

Reflection On English Lesson
As you all know, grammar is part and parcel in our daily life.
We learnt about basic grammar concepts such as present perfect tense and past perfect tense and past participle tense.
Mr Sim taught us in such a way that everyone had an enjoyable time, including me.
