UNIT 1.
Ok,let me tell you what I must do and learn in this unit.The first time I go into the class I learns about Making Introductions. In this subtopics we learn to speak about our self in front the class.When my turn is come to introduce myself at in front I feel very nervous and at the same time I also very excited. You know the at first time to introduce about myself in front the whole class. As usually when we intro about our self , we talk about your name , your age , where are you come from , your hobbies the things what you like or dislike and your family background . After finish my introduction I feel very peace and no more nervous. The conclusion is what I get when learning this subtopics is we must confident when talking about our self to make the people feel better when talking with us.Then, the next subtopics is Sharing Information.In this Subtopics Pn.GG told us to find a partner and mt partner is Imran Fahmi . In this task Pn.GG give us the paper to write the sharing information.An example the things what you like such as sport , movie , music , food and drinks, travelling place and other else.You can see the paper in the picture.
Then, after finish the discuss with my partner Imran Fahmi my partner and I must come in front the class to present all the sharing information.In front the class I not really nervous like before because have a partner with me.After finish this task I conscious something what I learn . The first thing what I learn is we must confidence and believe yourself when talking with someone . This also help me to make a new friends or to get closer with my friend .The last subtopics is Pn.GG show two picture of two actress.We have to choose one of the picture and then give our opinion and why choose the actress .Like me, I choose the one of the two actress because she beautiful, kind and have a great talent.
Finally after learning all the subtopics, Pn GG give us an assignment to do. Pn.GG already divide us by group.In my group I with Imran Fahmi and Afiq Nuzaim must to meet Sir Haji Osman Bin MOhindo. He is deputy director in IKM Beseri . When I know I with my group must go to meet her, the head thinking he is a firm and fierce.I feel very scary and I also feel this assignment very tough to do.But I try to reassure myself and talking to myself I can do this task.Awaited day has arrived I with my group go to see Sir Haji Osman.
Actually Sir Haji Osman is not like what I guess.He is very humble,friendly and kind person. After we all finish interview with him, I feel a sense of calm and fun.You can see a picture of us together after finish this task below.
UNIT 2.
In this unit Pn.GG teach us about SPEAKING ACCURATELY .Between subtopic in this unit is firstly Pronouncing Diphthongs Accurately.What we learn in this subtopics is monophthong and diphthong.
monophthong is A single vowel sound, such as /e/, /i:/ or /u/ and diphthong is also called a vowel glide, a diphthong is a vowel that begins in one sound but glides to another at the end, such as /ei/, /au/ or /eǝ/.In this subtopics I think it is little hard to understand because previously never knew about this.But I enjoy when learning this topics.This topics also help us to make we as students aware of the correct pronunciation of some commonly mispronounced English vowel sounds in words.This topics also I think very important and must study hard to make our conversation perfect in English.There are an example word.
Next,we learn about WORKING WITH SILENT LETTERS.
In this subtopics a silent letter is a letter that appears in a particular word, but does not correspond to any sound in the word's pronunciation. The bad news is that English has a lot of silent letters, and they create problems for both native and non-native speakers of English, because they make it more difficult to guess the spelling of many spoken words or the pronunciation of many written words.

then we also learn about WORD STRESS.What we learn in this topics is Word stress is magic key to understanding spoken English. Native speakers of English use word stress naturally. Word stress is so natural for them that they don't even know they use it. Non-native speakers who speak English to native speakers without using word stress.Before this, I do not understand what is word stress . After our teacher Pn.GG give an explanation and do some searching from internet I began to understand.You can see an example what is word stress below I hope this can help you to understand what I am trying to convey.
For unit 3 we learn how to PRACTICE IN PUBLIC SPEAKING.
The first task we must do is Practicing The Language Of Debate .In this task we once again broken down into several groups.In my team I with Hazim and Imran. Firstly I want to tell what is debate.
Debate is contention in argument; strife, dissension, quarrelling, controversy; especially a formal discussion of subjects before a public assembly or legislature, in Parliament or in any deliberative assembly.
after that we started debating the article title. Our group was arguing with a group Asyraf, Hanafizi and Afiq.Our group had to maintain good local car while their group instead.You can see our debate at the picture below .
Alright, at the first match of debate our team win.Honestly not easy for our team to win for this match because opponents also have strong arguments on their behalf.After winning our group had to argue with akmal , Izzudin and Hanif the second group.In this debate we have to debate on branded cloth better than bundle cloth.In this debate our group is the opposition and I think it's rather difficult because you know who prefer second-hand clothes.In this debate we also relax and calm because the proposition did not prepare very well so the debate goes well for us but not them or you can say an easy win hohoho.In this team my friend , Hazim and Imran did very well on the debate and I was really lucky to have them in my team.
The next subtopics is speaking extempore.Speaking extempore is a stage performance which is carried out without preparation of any kind. This term is mostly used while referring to speech and poetry discussions. The other commonly used names for extempore speeches are impromptu speaking, improvised speaking and extemporaneous speaking.UNIT 4.Next what we learn for this unit is SOCIAL COMMUNICATION: Performing Language Functions.Between subtopic for this unit is apologizing. Everyone has made a mistake so when we do something wrong we must apologize for our mistakes to avoid fights and things are not desired.
Here some example expressions you can use depending on the situation :)
Ten Expressions to Use In Speaking And Writing
- Sorry.
- I'm (so / very / terribly) sorry.
- Ever so sorry.
- How stupid / careless / thoughtless of me.
- Pardon (me)
- That's my fault.
- Sorry. It was all my fault.
- Please excuse my (ignorance)
- Please don't be mad at me.
- Please accept our (sincerest) apologies.
How To Use These Phrases In Your English
- Phrase 1 is a general short apology. We use this when we bump into people on the street. At other times, it sounds too weak.
- In phrase 2, we use 'so', 'very' and 'terribly' to make the meaning stronger. 'Terribly' is the strongest. If we use one of the words in brackets, it is stressed.
- Phrase 3 is quite formal but it's a stronger apology than just 'sorry'.
- We use phrase 4 to criticise ourselves and the mistake that we have just made.
- We use phrases 6 and 7 to take all the responsibility for what happened. Phrase 7 is a little stronger.
- We use phrase 8 to apologise for our lack of knowledge or ability. We can replace the word in brackets with other nouns, e.g. carelessness, forgetfulness.
- Phrase 9 is asking the other person not to get angry. The tone is quite informal.
- Phrase 10 is often used in formal letters. The word 'sincerest' makes the apology very strong and very formal.
I hope this example will help us to strengthen friendship and so on.
Next subtopic for this unit is Asking For Clarifications.It means When you fail to understand what has been said to you and seek clarification from the person you are talking to.Here some example you can use ...
