Haziq`s first ever Blog :>

 Yay! The new school year finally started after two months of break and it felt great being back at school. A new challenge arrived, which was transferring to AEP because there is no teacher for ESP anymore. As much as I was excited, I was also scared during the time because this is a completely new experience and for me; Ms. Disa was a bit intimidating. 🙂


 Our first meeting was canceled due to the typhoon but Ms. Disa had already assigned us quizzes. The next meeting, we did a little activity such as “Diffle” which was another version of wordle but instead, we did not know the length of the word. We just have to keep guessing. I think this is a good warm up game to break the ice in the morning. After that, we had to draw ourselves and I forgot to mention that I am really bad at drawing so I couldn't even draw a stickman. The purpose of the drawing was to track the homework that we did and, if we failed to submit 1 homework, our drawing will be left behind. On the second meeting, to start our AEP class, we did fun game where Ms. Disa had given us a sentence and then a person will finish the sentence. Then, the second player will repeat the sentence with the first player’s answer, and then said their answer. The sentence was “My grandmother went to a market and bought a …”.The answer given by each player was hilarious, for example, a car, Nutella, mayonnaise and even animals.


On the third meeting, this is where we started to get serious and started to do the essays. Of course we can't forget the warm up game Diffle 🎉. Then, Ms. Disa assigned us a task from the IELTS exam. My first impression was “A bar graph! How does this relate to aep?” Just by the looks of it, I knew I would be struggling, just from the introduction. Well, I was correct, but my excuse was I hadn’t been writing for two months straight so it was a little challenging on my end. Later on, Ms. Disa explained step by step on how to begin an essay and, from what I remembered, the first step is to paraphrase the question and give a summary or rather an overview in 2 or 3 sentences.


My expectation for AEP is to improve on my writing skills and my English skills. I hope to learn more on how to write a good essay and how to paraphrase quickly. Overall, this AEP class is a whole new experience for me because last year, I took ESL classes and I can definitely say that the new environment will be very difficult. I hope that i'm able to survive this year. :(

AEP BLOG 3.1 - Summer Rose S. Valdez

           The past couple weeks have been a whirlwind of maps and musicals, and it's quite fun.          March 5, 2025 - I Went on A Vacation...Somewhere      We began with a unique warmup this time.  By turns, we all had to say a new place on the map.  Each person has to retrace the steps of all the previous and so on.  I did not do well, but I didn't jot down notes of everyone's locations on my notebook anyway.  It was a memory game.  Afterwards, Miss taught us how one can remember things by remembering a place they visit often - by associating the different keywords with different objects or areas.     After that, we moved on to worksheets.  These worksheets involved maps and places and tenses.  For some reason, I forgot the difference between the past tenses.  Thankfully, though, I remembered what passive tense was.  Simple English fundamentals like types of...

Blog 3.1 - moving too fast? - huda g11

  From juggling multiple homework and exams to participating in the musical, parliament, varsity and maintaining a social life, the days seem to blur together in a relentless stream of busyness. It's easy to get caught up in the chaos and lose track of time, which left me constantly feeling like having to keep on picking myself up again to start the next new thing. Despite the chaotic nature of this school year, it's important to take a moment to pause and give ourselves a small break. I think that is where AEP comes in line. With the moderate pace of learning new vocabulary, which I have found to be very useful considering I've passed by many familiar vocabs as I go on with my studies ehehehe, AEP gives me a sense of pause to my hustling life with its conversation-filled lessons incorporated with productive discussions on the words as well as the inclusion of what I would see it as “old-style” learning. The idea of bringing back the usual norm before covid of ‘pen and pape...

i stopped counting the blogs at dis point

       Ah boy here we go again Another week, another blog about random stuff. Holy hell everything moves so fast that I feel like I could take a nap and suddenly miss 21 different events. it's a little odd when you get pulled out of your usual schedule and are forced to do a practice exam but like 'they' say: "practice makes perfect." also been rewatching RVB, kinda sad cuz Rooster Teeth decided in a Hail Mary attempt to earn some of that sweet moolah that they should make a large majority of their shows paywalled on yt and you have to use the inconsistent official Rooster Teeth website that is absolutely plagued with stunky add that no one wants. yeah more ads than YOUTUBE ,  AND THEY'RE ALL UNSKIBBABLE BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY ARE AND YOU GET 4 OF THEM EVERY EPISODE (some at the start and then some midroll ads). I know it is to push people to join their site and subscribe to FIRST but Oh ho hoh man... that is a level above despicable.
