WA1 Discursive Essay

2023_tan_li_min_joyce — 2024-02-27 01:18:26 UTC

1. What prevented me from getting a higher grade?
- poor language.
2. What can I do to do better?
- improve my vocab and grammar.
3. How do I feel about my first grade for English?
- I feel very satisfied with my results, as it was my first try doing discursive essay and I managed to score pretty decently so I am very satisfied with my results although i could have done better but at least I now know where I need to work on and my weaker points so I can improve myself and get better marks in the future. English was also the only subject I felt confident about so I feel very satisfied that it resulted in a pretty good mark and overall. Despite that, I also feel a little disappointed as I was aiming for a B3 but only managed to get B4, just missing the B3 by 1 mark so I have to learn from my mistakes and improve them so I can achieve my goals and pull up my results. I also was shocked that I did decently well as when Ms Teo was talking about our common mistakes, I was rethinking whether I made those mistakes which made me worry and stressed to receive the paper but luckily when I received the paper, I got a decent grade and percentage. Overall, I feel very satisfied yet disappointed about my results.

March Holidays Short Response

2023_tan_li_min_joyce — 2024-03-19 01:01:54 UTC

During the March Holidays, I had a church camp. That was the highlight of my whole March holidays as I had a lot of fun and enjoyed myself. We played a lot of games and bonded with our friends, I even made some new friends and got even more comfortable with some people. Despite all the fun and enjoyment, the night was the worst as I did not manage to sleep at all despite trying multiple times to fall asleep, all I did was toss and turn in my sleeping bag. Overall, it was a lot of fun and a time of reflection for me to reflect on the things I have done in the first quarter of the year.

Would you be keen to pick up an extreme sport? Why or why not?

P - Yes as it would be a new and exciting experience for me.
E - If I were to pick up an extreme sport, I would first start small and make sure to carry out the sport safely. I also would like to get out of my comfort zone and want more adrenaline. Extreme sports from my understanding, are high speeds and high risks activities whiuch also have high levels of adrenaline that appeal to adventure lovers.
E - Me, as an adventure lover, I often seek new and interesting activities that make me delighted. Doing extreme sports also helps me face my fear of heights and water as it would allow me to try new things and get over my fears. I would choose a sport like bouldering. From my understanding, boulding is a form of free climbing that is performed on small rock formations without the use of ropes and harnesses. I would start with doing bouldering indoors as there is a smaller risk of injury, and it is also a good way for me to pick up a new skill and try something out of the ordinary. Doing this activity, I can also become more fit and more healthy, and also get to keep my body active and moving. Another example would be parkour as it is a sport where people attempt to get from point A to B in the fastest and most efficient way possible, without using equipment and often while performing artistic-gymnastic manoeuvres. I would first try doing basic skills and start doing more advance stuff. This would also help me look at everyday objects as places of parkour. Parkour also helps me get more active and healthy. It also is an activity that gives alot of adrenaline, also being able to feel a sense of accomplishment after completing a skill.
L - Therefore, I would like to pick up an extreme sport as it would be a different and new experience for me.

Resilience in Crisis stories

2023_tan_li_min_joyce — 2024-07-09 06:18:30 UTC

I showed resilience in my life by perservering through the hard times. Despite having several obstacles sometimes, I still perservere through and find motivation and determination to carry on with my life. There was a time in my life, specifically during PSLE, this was the most stressful period of my life so far. It was tiring and repetitive as I was cramming in as much revision I could in that time period, I wanted to score well and make my parents proud. I was tired and drained out daily but I perservered through it as I knew I would feel proud and accomplished in the end.
