A Jocund Moment

My first impression of English 2 is somewhat boring because it deals much on writing , and that's what i hate most. But, as time passes-by with our lessons, I learn to love it. I discovered that it is not that much boring because there are many joyful activities that can enhance our writing skills. such that, in our previous meeting, we had an activity by group. Our task is to make one sentence in each person. Within three minutes, we should really create a paragraph. Each one of us felt so tensed because we can't directly think of a better idea on what to write because the time is limited. However, we did it even though it is not perfectly done. I really enjoyed in this activity because i can recall what i write or contribute in the paragraph which is not so coherent on the first sentence. After it, the last person to write will read what was the body of the paragraph. We just laugh of what we write because some sentence are not related. But, we had given a time to revise it for a limited time. i really had fun on it. This activity is one way of having a good composition. I learned how to make a paragraph that should have coherence and unity. It is really helpful to have a better paragraph.
In addition, there was also another activity Ma'am Lynnie gave to us. It was all about what we have in our knowledge or how great our vocabulary is. The activity goes like this. Every time Ma'am Lynnie will give a word, we should write as many words as we can which is related to the word given. I was just laughing at my work because i really lack vocabulary or stock knowledge. But, somehow, i gained knowledge about the words that i did not encountered yet. In this activity, there were many words that i gained . In addition, it was really a fun game.
Unfortunately, we will not meet again with Ma;am Lynnie because she will be attending for the graduation ceremony in MSU-Marawi. However, she gave us a task to make a composition using one of the common methods of paragraph development at least 300-500 words. It is done by group. In our group, we chose cause-effect. Our topic was about global Warming. What we did is that we enumerate first the causes and the effects of global warming. Then, we finally brainstorm our ideas and made our composition. In this activity, I learned some techniques in writing a paragraph. you must see to it that it should be coherent and unified.
I am so happy that i passed my assignment on time. I really worked hard on it. I slept late at night in doing it. At last , I made it.
In my English 3 class,all students under our teacher will take the Job Enabling in English Proficiency ( JEEP) placement exam. I was so curios about it. When i entered at room where we are going to take the test, I saw many computers. I can't explain what i felt. I was a little bit excited but somehow nervous. I thought it was so difficult, but i was wrong. The questions were just simple but others were confusing. Another thing i liked most during the test was when we use the headphone. I like how the person spoke in it. But, I just don't fully understand what they said. Sad to say... I failed the test. I just got 1.o score. It means I'm poor in English. How sad....
However, it was such a nice feeling to take on that JEEP exam because it was an amazing experience and i gained more knowledge on the use of grammar in English.
