Time flies so fast that I did not realize my first year has neared it's end. I would be a senior in four months time in NUS. Now, when i come to think of it, what have I learned in this two semesters. One module which would play an important role in my life is the EG 1471 module.
This English module helped me to realize my errors in my language skill as it is mixed up with three different languages which are Malay language, Tamil language and not to forget English. I did not do well in my QET that i had to do this module which does not contribute any modular credit for my graduation. I was frustrated when I was allocated this module but as I attended this module's classes, my view toward this module. I was not able to identify my errors earlier but now I find that I made frequent and predictable errors which can be avoided. As Mr. Blackstone says, it is known as the way the Malaysian are accustomed to speak and write. One of the typical problem is the 'lah' usage among the Malaysian community. Another popular usage of words among Malaysians is the word 'would'. So, our 'sensei' made us realize our errors and correct it.
Even though this module has quite a heavy workload, it was quite relaxed module as the tutor did not pressure us to do our homework but emphasized on enjoying the assignments that we were supposed to do. So, it was actually fun to to do the assignments in a relaxed atmosphere thanks to Mr. Blackstone's method of teaching.
One of activity that I enjoyed was the grammar presentation where I was able practise my presentation skills and overcome my stage fright. It was a good experience and I actually enjoyed myself during the presentation.
In conclusion, this module was not so bad after all. It was a wonderful experience that I am glad that I had the chance to read this module.

Thank you, Uwa, for the kind words and for your hard work and contributions to the course. I think you have made good progress.
Best of luck in your future!
Surprisingly we all enjoyed our time in this module despite the workload of the module. Interesting. This is the way that I want to study.
Hope you enjoyed the time with other classmates, especially with the Malaysians. If muhibah is impossible IN Malaysia, let's practice outside then.
