Nurin's AEP Adventure (Term 2 #3)




Hi hi!!! Hope my blog finds you well. When I tell you I'm surviving, I really am.  

It is the 3rd week of AEP and I am not proud to say that I slowly got driven back to my old habit of not completing works right away. I blame my procrastination virus once again, sad to say that it made a little comeback. Hence why this blog is written A WEEK after the actual AEP class. I was tired, mentally and physically and could not complete anything other than notes (it requires no thinking hahaha). But that's okay, progress is not a straight line. Sometimes, you're on top and sometimes you could be at the bottom for a bit. As long as you keep moving forward, you'll be alright!!

Anyways, AEP class was a blast as usual. We kicked off with a game or Wordle and absolutely nailed it once again. We then proceed the lesson and learned how to avoid rudeness in writing emails. The way that lesson had saved me from unwanted issues in the future. I'm a person that lacks awareness when they write messages/emails (or speak oops) and this lesson had gave me a fresh start on how to improve in terms of communicating. Whether it be emails or simply making small talks, I can learn to apply this lesson to any form of communication basically. 

Here are some highlights from the lesson that I personally find very valuable and important :

Making demands

I find this really helpful because sometimes we can come off as 'too demanding' and 'difficult' to deal with even when we didn't mean to sound like that. This can be rude and we can accidently offense some people and cause problems. It can easily be avoided by simply saying "I would like..." or "I would be grateful if/for...." instead of just digging in and say "I want...". See how easy it is to make a difference? Even a little change in our approach can make such big impacts.

Saying 'please' and 'thank you'

This is literally the BARE MINIMUM. People will be more inclined to assist us and give us what we need. By saying 'thank you', it shows that we are appreciative of the help that they gave us and make us sound polite. For example, using this method to service workers can really improve their day and it also shows them respect. I admire people who does not forget to say 'please' and 'thank you'.

Avoid "you"

By changing the focus of the sentence from the pronouns 'you' can make it appear more neutral and less accusing in tone. Instead of writing 'you', we can write 'it', 'there' or 'we'. For example, changing the subject from focusing on the other person to focusing on the addressed problem. This is a nicer and polite way of confronting a certain issue and will make us easier to work with.

I guess that's all for now. These methods had been incredibly absorbed to my bones and I hope that I will not fail to apply all of them in the future. Who knows how many people future me are going to meet and talk to? She may struggle with talking to new faces but she will not struggle on how to be polite anymore, thanks to Ms.Disa. I can't wait for the next AEP lesson!!! Til then...


Love, Nurin.

And So It Begins...- Chloe Lloveras- Blog 3 T3- AEP 10

  Maps have become my new enemy. I know this may sound dramatic, but I really just can't seem to like them. As an artist who loves anything related to colors and drawings, you'd think a map of all things would be right up my alley, but you'd definitely be wrong. The feeling of facing your adversary is like no other- this desperate thirst to defeat them, dying to be quenched. And so it begins... The day before the exam, we played "Squardle," but the joy it gave us upon completion was short-lived as it was replaced by the impending atmosphere of doom looming above us. I felt a pit in my stomach when I walked into the classroom the next morning. But I was prepared...or so I had thought. I only managed to score 87%, which in reality was actually a 77% because Miss Disa added 10 points to help bump up our grades. I barely passed really, but that doesn't matter now. When I had finished taking the exam, all I could think of was that it was finally over. I could relax...

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...
