=====Reflection on StoryTelling lesson(16/10)=====
Actually this is another stress module for me..cos my English just SUCKs that the god pity me and give me a GOd DAMN B4 to enter this course (that was my highest english grade throughout my secondary school and i got an E8 for my prelim)..never did i know that English is important for DVFX too..so Mr.Leslie..please dont expect too much for me and sorry if i have disappoint you in this module.
Well..today..i cant think of anything other than “Zealous Zheng Jie” for the name game..cos my vocab really sucks and my grammar sucks even further.
As for the “Openers”, yes i think that they are really helpful for a good start..this is what i used to do..when i get a topic title..i will not write the essay straight away but i will procastinate it..and keep thinking of it days and nights till i have enough ideas and diarrhoea them out before the day of the deadline =X ..that’s what i did with my SocPsy assignments last time
However..because of my sucky English..i struggled with every sentences i wrote and could not express my ideas out fully..i dont have good vocabs to decribe them and i have to take care of my grammars in every word..that will took lot of time..
Sometimes..i am just too admire of people who can write good English..they can easily made us understand when he/she is thinking..and whenever they have ideas..they can just write them down as if without thinking.
We are told that we will be using present tense for this storytelling module..but will there be chances for past tense? such as if you are to write someone recalling something..i am just too messed out with absolute thingy.

Zheng Jie, don’t lose hope before we’ve even begun! This module is not a purely a test
of your command of the language; I’d say it’s more a module to guide you in telling a
good story. And no, the people who can write easily and make you understand what
they’re thinking work very hard to make it look like they’re not working hard at all? So
work at it and I’m pretty sure you’ll do just fine.
And by the way, I happen to think ‘Zealous’ is an awesome word choice.
