Blog one

Time fly by as usual, one month passed so quickly and I have already finished block one. Through blog one was filled with knowledge in an academic study that was consist of an academic writing, an academic vocabularies, presentation and an academic reading. There is an essential knowledge for further education in Master degree here.

To begin with the manner of the method in academic writing style which focused on an essay. There was difference from my last experience in English language school. Study hard on the essay should be necessary at me and improve grammar as well. Also the presentation, there was three presentations which were stand front of our classmate. The body language was important equipment, which had to improve. Discussions were set on our class as our routinely in class. Classmate usually shared an idea that means speaking is so important skill on discuss situation which is so necessary skill in Master degree.

So many mistakes at me from started until finished the course, I think I have to study more hard and hard. A lot of mistakes have still shown on my essay or speaking until today. Grammar is my biggest weak point for me. I will make more attempts to improve on the English skills and more self study as Steffie said. I know that i could not improve my English skill in a month but I will try to do heavier work on it. Hopefully I can solve my mistake in English skill and pass blog two soon.
