( The Presentation )
"English language is the most universal language in history, way more than the Latin of Julius Caesar. It's the most punderful language because its vocabulary has a certain critical mass that makes a lingo good for punning."
-Richard Lederer
{ In this project, I learnt that capturing audeinces attention while presenting is crucial. This can be done in a variety of techniques such as intonation of our voice as well as using the "smart-board". Learning how to use the smart-board in our presentation is an experience and if I have any other chances, I would know how to use it to my benefit. }
"'No' is the shortest word in the English Language, but one of the hardest to say."
-Raymond Arroyo
PROJECT 2:
ESSAY WRITING
{ In this individual assignment, we had to choose one of the following questions to write an essay as well as a suitable type of pre-writing along with the essay. We were suppposed to write our essays in a word count of 600-800 words. The following questions are as listed in the brief. Before doing this essay however, we were taught during our lectures, the different types of pre-writings and essays, and how they can be applied to our assignment. I found this very helpful. }

( The Essay )
{ In this assignment, I learnt how to use my thinking skills in classifying knowledge and research that I found on the internet and in books. On top of that, I learnt how to citate and reference correctly. Referencing like this would help me assignments in the future. Finally, writing an essay with the topic "Effects of Computers for Long Hours" really gave me an insight in how potentially dangerous technology is. }
