You have learnt that by using different adjectives, we could come up with various descriptions of a house. Our simple and straightforward descriptions could be expanded into a more detailed picture if we know how to combine the noun with appropriate descriptive words. Now, using the word university and its associated words, write a paragraph pertaining to the subject matter.

Syukran/gracias/merci/danke/thank you everyone!
Thank you for being wonderful students throughout the semester. I'm personally impressed with positive improvements made by all of you especially during our final product presentation. Even though some of you claimed that you were nervous before and during the presentation, don't worry it's part and parcel of of speaking in public. By now you should already start planning on how to be a better presenter for other presentations to come. Apart from that, if you noticed, you have used all the skills that we have already covered in our module. So, way to go guys! Good luck for your next semester. Hope to see all of you again :)

The End Of The World

Why does the sun ____________ on shining?
Why does the sea ____________ to shore?
Don't they ____________ it's the end of the world,
`cause you don't ____________ me anymore?

Why do the birds ____________ on singing?
Why do the stars ____________ above?
Don't they ____________ it's the end of the world?
It ____________ when I lost your love.

I ____________ up in the morning and I wonder why ev'rything's the same as it was.
I can't ____________, no I can't ____________, how life goes on the way it ____________!

Why does my heart ____________ on ____________?
Why do these ____________ of mine cry?
Don't they ____________ it's the end of the world?
It ____________ when you said good-bye.

And the BEST PRESENTER is.....{E01}

2008-07-23T21:51:00.000-07:00

SO, you've watched a whole load of clips on presentations and of presentations. Who would you say is the best presenter?
Randy Paunsch?
Ed Tate?
Doug Jeffrys?
Dick Hardt?
TJ Walker?
Or Microsoft dude? (Should he even be on the list?)

So what have you learnt from all you've watched? In groups, come up with your steps to being an EFFECTIVE PRESENTER using P.R.E.S.E.N.T. Is it the same as your first draft? If it's different, explain the changes made. If it's the same, explain why you've not made any changes.
