- Term 3 Week 9 Learning Log -

For the first lesson, we were given a worksheet where we had to fill in the blanks for the setting of Prose Passage 2. Mr Chua commented that some of us might have already read it before, and that was a clue telling us that it was from a famous book. The next thing that confirmed my guess was the words "Company of the Ring", which said straight to me that it was from Lord of the Rings. Surprisingly, the scene written was the scene right before the scene of the movie which I had watched on TV once, so it was interesting to find out what happened to them before they were attacked.

The worksheet, however, was kinda tricky. I was almost unable to find the answers to them. The most unlucky thing was that I lost my highlighter, so when we had to highlight, I had to borrow from someone else (but I managed to find it later on anyway). The way the things were described was amazing. Now I know why the novel was so famous (maybe I should try it someday...).

Moving on, we were given back our test papers on the second lesson. But before that, we were given three examples of the work of our classmates. It was interesting to see other people's works. After going through the first one, I started worrying for my marks as I didn't go by that format.

Luckily, I managed to pass the test! Yes! I was so happy, especially since my previous essays all failed terribly. I guess the June Holidays really did fry my brain...

Hopefully I can score better next time as passing by just 1.5 marks is not really a good thing... Plus I'm aiming to take Literature next year. I must really revise my previous work now and see my mistakes.
