WATCH THIS! I bet that you will singing along!

Who would have thought that TI’s song would be some inspiring? Students from Ron Clark Academy show us how to vote.. however we like!





I remembered watching ‘The Ron Clark Show’ on cable many times and loved it when Matthew Perry (Yup, Chandler from Friends.) busted out some moves during the President’s rap. What a way to learn in class! Do you think we can put what we learn in ES2007S into Rihanna's Umbrella? I doubt so!

By the way, did anybody watched Obama’s acceptance speech? That was a really, really well-written speech I must say!

Final Reflection (Blog Post #7)



For this final post, return to your first post and review what you wrote. Has your understanding of the value of effective 
communications skills changed since that time? If so, in what way? If not, why not? How do you feel about the communication 
skills that you have developed in this module? Please reflect on what you have done, on your interactions and your overall 
learning.

----------------------------------------------------

I’ve always thought professional communication was going to be a stroll in the park given that the materials in the book was simple to understand and one do not need 3 months of class to apply it. OH BOY, was I wrong! The course has exposed to me that professional communication is a comprehensive and intensive field. One need to really understand it in order to be an effective communicator given any situations. The weekly classes gave me a chance to apply some of the skills learnt on my classmates.

Among all the useful tools that I learnt in the course, I think the most important one to me was learning how to write an impressive piece of writing. Firstly, my last report that I wrote was probably in JC for Project Work and as far as I know, my grammar has got worse since I do not write essay in Maths. At the same time, I prefer face-to-face communication when trying to express myself. I did not know writing a report could be so tedious. There are so many parts to it and details to keep in mind when crafting a report. I refer to the book every time I had to write the report. As for the rest of materials, I’m sure I will put it to good use when I go for job interviews, presentations and overseas jobs.

I have learnt a lot of things that I would never be able to learn in my other modules. I enjoyed reading, commenting on my classmates’ blogs and reading Mr Blackstone’s post on the elections. I even have a draft resume in hand for my future job search. All in all, I can say that I have achieved what I wanted to: Brush up on my communication skills.

To end off, I would like to thank Mrs Kim for all the advice, anecdote and guidance in this class. I need to really thank my group mates, Huimin and You Fei. I love doing the project with them and all our rehearsals for the oral presentation. It was fun while it lasted.

To the rest of the class, don’t be a stranger now! Do holler when you see me on the streets! Let’s meet up for Timbre!

This is Illya and I bid you goodbye!
