Process of My Lessons for English

For English, I have been learning about effective communication, about what we should do when we are engage in a conversation, like listening attentively. I had also learnt about what we should do when we wan to interrupt into a conversation, like clearing our throats. The other things which I had gathered from the lessons are constructive comments, what we should not say and talk about in the a conversation, the volume or rather the pitch of the voice we need when we talk to someone from a particular distance.

From the last few questions, instead of just learning on effective communication, I had learnt about the audience identification chart, a chart which may be useful to us when we are speaking to a certain number of audience. This audience identification chart will help us to identify the age group of our audience, the content of our speech, the speech genres and many more. Yesterday, I had just learnt about speech genres in the English lessons. Speech Genres may include persuasion, expression, entertainment and inform.

More on English are the Extensive Reading for the Sec 2s only. I had been asked to read 4 chapters of a book named or titled 'Chicken Soup for Teenage Soul' and this has helped me enhanced my knowledge on teenagers, the problems they face, the things they do due to these problems, the solutions to them, which is also how they will approach these problems. I had also been given some questions to answer on the poems in these chapters and also a blog question too, which will be marked.
