Blog 2.4 - College and Me (Nurhanis Grade 12)


The long break made me curious as to what we will be learning. Little did I know that we're going to write college entrance essays. Personally, I don't really need to be writing a college essay because the colleges in Malaysia doesn't really require one. But of course there's nothing wrong in learning on how to actually write one.

We firstly had a discussion and sharing opinions of the format or quality of the essay written by a previous student in FIS. Critiquing itself is very hard to me because obviously my standard is different than the administers standard. The essay was very good and I thought I would accept the essay but after discussing some components, it opened my mind to realising that there's still a lot that she could add to the essay.

After the discussion, we continued with the activity of diving into ourselves :)) There was a list of words and we had to choose a word that is the most important to us at this moment. I had to narrow down from 10 to 5 to 3 and then finally to one. This activity really did made me think deeper in the question of "What is really important to me?"

Through this activity, it made me realised again my priorities in life and what drove me this far in life. What did I work so hard for? For what? These are the type of questions that this activity helped me answer.

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...

Aleena Imran - Blog #4 - Grade 8 :)

  This week was quite enlightening. Our first lesson was very interesting. We got to learn about different school uniforms and what people wear to school. We started learning by listing as much clothing people wear to school as possible as a group work. My team was Dharanika and Summer who listed loads of words, sadly some of them didn’t count.  Following that, we discussed the parts of a uniform. I found this class super engaging as I got to expand my vocabulary in terms of clothing.  To pass a few more minutes, we wrote down what we were wearing. This session was a bit tiring and fun at the same time. The second day was more relaxing and refreshing. As we basically were assigned 1-2 words from Unit 4 and searched in the dictionary for their meanings. Which was pretty amusing and calm. After that, we did a crossword. Sadly, I wasn’t able to get my words in time as someone else had found it first. From there on, we all were tested about the definitions of our words. I enj...
