Assignment 1 : Narrative Essay- Describe a tools as your pet
Students were required to choose a daily object or tool from workplace desk or kitchen table. The chosen tool may be a cooking implement, a music instrument, a interesting item from our kitchen drawer or tool chest. Student should take time to explore the tool and write down the first reaction when we notice the tool and the 5 sences which is touch, smell, taste, hear and see. Every student should complete at least one and a half typed description about the tool and elaborate more about the visual details of the object.
This assignment was intended to demonstrate the ability to observe, analyze and synthesize information from the chosen daily object, Photo Frame. I get to know more about what is effective narrative essay and it's actually is an essays allow reader to visualize everything that's happening, in our mind. I think one way to make sure that this occurs is to use concrete, rather than abstract, details. However, I learnt to explain my object clearly and logically by tell story about a moment that means a lot to me and i think this is the easier way for me to tell the story in an interesting way.
In the other hand, I learn the tips to write an narrative essay which is 'Get Right to the action!' Our lecturer recommended us to avoid long introduction and lengthy description, especially at the beginning of out narrative. I think it's because she need us to make sure that our story should include point as what we learned from this experience. Beside that, I learnt to write and communicate the relevant idea in this essay by using all the five of senses to describe the setting, object, and the plot of story. Our lecturer also advice us, don't afraid to tell the story in our own voice as nobody wants to read a story that sounds like a textbook!

Assignment 2: Compare or Contrast Essay
The task for this project is compare or contrast any two types of English language movies, Romantic comedies or animated films.We need to look through materials published on this genre to gain a better understanding of what it is all about. We were also been through the step of brainstorming and working on pre-writing before we start to write an essay.In addition, the minimum word limit in the project is between 600-1000 words.
Self Reflection:
Through out this essay assignment, the intended outcomes for the assignment was to demonstrate the ability to contrast two animated movies which are Madagascar and Epic. I'm so glad to have an opportunity to understand more and write about my chosen film. However, I mostly spending all of the hours watching cartoons during my childhood.,but the best favorite film that attracted me is both of this comedy animated film.
In the other hand, I learnt the knowledge of contrasting essay which is to emphasize the differences. And it's help me use contrast thinking when organize patterns of essay. One is called block arrangement idea and the other is called point by point or alternating arrangement idea. Furthermore,I also have improved my reference writing skill and understand more about the use of reference while this project module. Basically, reference is the sysmbolic relationship that a linguistic expression expression has with the concrete object or abstraction it represents. After completing this module, I learnt to correct referencing, but not only my English essay, It's also help men on all my academic work to get the balance right between demonstrating research and using my own ideas.
