Preparation, presentation and post-mortem of the presentation my group sketch: Flame


1. Learning Process

The process of preparing for the sketch was actually quite fun and interesting. Being placed in a group of boys without any girls, and a story that consists of both genders, we had to take drastic measures to act out all of the existing characters in the sketch.

All of us learned quite of a lot of new things during the sketch. I feel more confident after the act due to how you have to "get out there" and actually perform the character you are assigned to.Besides, it strengthen the bond between me and my friends who were in the same group.

A lot of effort was put into the script to make sure everything was right. Everyone had their own role and their own dialogues. During the presentation, we presented the entire story with little to no problems aside from forgetting which character we were supposed to act. (*cough* Meghann *cough*) If we could make it better, my guess would be using actual equipment and actually grasping the characteristics of our characters.

2. The story of the sketch.

The name of the short story is Flame.

The main characters of this story are Nimei, Hsu Peng, and Jiang Bing. Nimei is the head nurse at a hospital, Hsu Peng is Nimei's ex-lover while Jiang Bing is Nimei's husband. The story took place in China, somewhere near the SongHua River.

What I've learned from the story is that you should always be thankful for what you have. Nimei had always been cold to her husband, Jiang Bing, after their planned marriage. She wishes to go back to her ex-lover, Hsu Peng, despite having a happy family.

Writing a 10 word story

Welcome back folks. Sadly, it seems that third time isn't a charm. Oh well, back to basics. Anyway, I hope you had a good week. I'm sure many of you had written essays throughout your lifetime. Whether its an essay for school which is usually 200 ~ 400 words long, a story (length may vary) or even a thesis paper (thousands). Depending on your age and level of English education of course. Personal record, 13 thousand words in a story named Chrono Switch . I assume you already read the title and hence clicked on this post for... actually why did you clicked on this post? Either way, we were instructed to write a ten word story, with the word "spooky" being mandatory in the story. And with Halloween coming around the corner, I can see why they picked that specific word. I too, enjoy writing weird story that are outfitted with details and character development. So writing a ten word story is quite an interesting challenge. Coming up with something with a broad theme...

My English Blog

R. Welcome back to another blog post folks. Today, we're going to talk about... scrolls Whatsapp ... give me a minute...  Huh.  My feelings on the blog and whether it has benefited me thus far. So let's talk about that. Ah... An English Block of Word . Not the best name I came out with, but it's still quite creative. I started this blog last year January on the 6th. At first when I came about the idea of writing a blog, actually no, it wasn't an idea, it was a weekly homework given by our dear teacher Pn Monica, with different topics every week. Honestly, when I first got the assignment to write a blog as homework, I was kind of amazed. Integration of the usage of the Internet and it's on my favourite subject? Score. Of course, this wasn't the first time I started the blog, my third time, in fact, the last two being some websites to share my own written fictional stories to my friends. Given a platform, and a focus to write on makes everything much easier ...

Teachers' Day

Teachers' Day Woooo it's Teachers' Day ! Now now, where's Principal Day then ? Jokes aside, Teacher's Day was fun. (Except when they spelled "Happy Teacher's Day" instead of "Happy Teachers' Day", but you know, no one's sweating the details and everyone had fun.)  Teachers' Day is the annual celebration where we honour our teachers for doing what they do best, teaching us ! And on this day, we get thank them by giving them gifts, or simply just wishing the Happy Teachers' Day, to show gratitude to their teachings, whether it's boring or not. This year's Teachers' Day was quite enjoyable, though I was not a fan of huge gatherings as my ears hurts when it comes to noisy environment. Still quite funny that they let the PIBG member to announce the ICT-Ton program so that we could help them collect money to renovate the school. You know, next time just sells stuff, works better.  Moving on to the pe...
