The three group have already done their presentation and the three team got to present through semester 1 but for us it was a very bad moment because we have to present to our senior that was semester 4 !!

And then we just have to write in a piece of paper and understand about the book. The following picture is the synopsis that we write in a piece of paper.
Then,the day has come for all of us to present our last presentation with teacher. So,teacher choose by random using our piece of paper that has all our name. That why my team was randomly the first one to present. So we take turn reading the story and take turn writing in the whiteboard.These are the prove that we wrote it. We wrote on the whiteboard about the main character,the facts about this story an many else.
After finish our presentation,we feel nothing but satisfied with our work and our cooperation. And that was the last day of our english class. We all feel sad but also feel very happy about it. So we all take the picture as our good moment with Pn GG. The following picture is our member of English class except for Hazim because he have a camp to attend and will be back Tuesday.

Lastly, I can speak clearly that calmly with everybody in many situation,place and country.
