REPORT ON DRAMA PRESENTATION

The Unlucky King based on The Lady or The Tiger

            On 8^th April 2013, my group and I had presented our drama based on the short story The Lady or The Tiger written by Frank Stockton. We have our own title for the story that is The Unlucky King. The drama was presented by Teh Tarik group members which are Ahmad Izzat Asyraf bin Mazuki, Muhammad Hafiz bin Mohd Saidi, Diviyan Raj s/o Sundera Raj and I. The story has six characters and two of us acted for two different characters. The drama presentation carried 10% of our coursework and we need to do it very well in order to get full mark. First, we made a discussion to create new plot for the whole story. We took about one week to write the script and then we submitted the first draft of the story. After a few days, Mr. Rosli was checked our script, next, we need to do some corrections and our drama practice started.

            Mr. Rosli told us to do a preview from the story and we choose to take Scene 4 as our preview for the drama. We had done it very well and everybody seemed to be happy with the preview. We continued our practice for the whole drama at the Halliburton until we already prepared for it. Next, our members needed to pay RM10 to buy polystyrene, glue, wrapping paper and water colour in order to complete the props. After practicing for a month, the most awaited day had come, the day that we need to present our drama. We felt like having butterflies in our stomach, we were dreadfully nervous. We were the third group to present the drama and it was unbelievable when all of us acted very well. Our tutorial mates seemed very happy with our drama and we hope our tutor also feel so.

            After we have done our drama, I felt very grateful and relieved because all our effort in the making of this drama paid off. The drama presentation was done successfully. I have got many lessons from this drama presentation such as we need to work as a team, we also must give a full commitment with others every time, and always work hard.

REPORT ON POSTER PRESENTATION

The Cunning Man based on The Tell Tale Heart

         On the 1st of April 2013, my partner, Ahmad Izzat Asyraf bin Mazuki and I had done our poster presentation based on short story The Tell Tale Heart with title The Cunning Man. We are the first group that presented the poster and thank God that we had done our best. We did a great job and I was relieved that finally we finished our poster presentation and after this we can focus on our drama presentation. Our presentation was held at Lecture Room 12 and it took approximately 12 minutes and we were so happy with the presentation. Based on the short story, The Tell Tale Heart, both of us decided to relate this story with a schizophrenic girl. Both of these stories are related by the theme cunning man. We presented our poster clearly and at the end of the presentation, the Q&A session comes in. We decided that each drama group should ask us question based on the presentation and we will answer it. We tried our best to let them understand this story. Everyone in the class gives their full commitments and we were so happy with that. The most important thing we hope that Mr. Rosli give us the acceptable mark for the presentation.

The preparation of the poster presentation was so great. Teamwork is the most important element when we are working as a team. I am so glad to have Ahmad Izzat Asyraf bin Mazuki as my partner because he really did her jobs excellently. By doing this presentation, we can improve our self confidence in front of many people and we can also improve our speaking skills. I hope that more presentations will be held in English classes as this is the only way to sharpen our speaking skills in front of others. That’s all from me. Thank You.

REPORT

Research on Favourite Car among UTP Students

            What is the sexiest car for you? This is the questions asked in a particular survey conducted in Group 8 of English tutorial. On 11th March 2013 in University Teknologi Petronas, I have done a research in Group Tutorial English 8 at Lecture Room 12 with my friends. On that day, our tutor, Mr. Rosli Din asked us to have a piece of paper for each person. Then, he asked us to write any question in that paper and he shuffled the position of the sheets of our papers . After that, he distributed it to each person and we had to answer it.

            For your information, there were 20 students who involved in the research and we are the local students which are consisted of four different races that are Malay, Chinese, Kadazandusun and Indian. All of us have a different background and we are around 18 years old. Actually, our group have the international students but they accidentally came late on that day, so they did not involve in this survey. The girls are majority in this class.

            Based on the research I have done, 15% of the students like Nissan cars, 15% of them also like car manufactured by Lamborghini and another 15% like local car brand that is Perodua. For brand Toyota, Porsche, Chevrolet, Daihatsu, Audi, Mini Cooper, BMW and Volkswagen, I got same percentage of 5% for each brands. 15% of them which are three of the students did not state their specific type of car brand. Some of them answer more than one brand, but I only took the first answer.

            In the nutshell, most of the students like car brands from Japan such as Nissan, Toyota and Daihatsu. As we all know, Japan is the best country which expert in car production because they have great technologies.

Dear Babun,

Please be informed that I am a daft old idiot man and I do not have enough time to read your long story about one and half page but I sacrificed my time to finish it my dear. I really feel sad for you and I am glad that your marriage had been cancelled. You cannot marry with such type of man, he is a playboy!  I am sorry to hear that your parents had passed away. Congratulation! You have got your PhD from the excellent university and I am happy to hear that.

Actually, my wife had passed away 3 years ago. She left me with two children, both of them are studying at university in their own favourite courses. I feel so lonely. I have my own company, I am busy with my work but sometime I realized that I need a company, a wife that can fulfil my entire life and can take care of me. I still loving you, please marry me.

Sincerely,

Beben

CAUSES AND EFFECTS

Planning a Death by Playing Scrabble

            Who had been killed in the short story Death by Scrabble? Death by Scrabble is an interesting story written by Charlie Fish. The following paragraphs are about causes and effects for the husband to sit with his wife and playing scrabble.

            There are some causes when the husband playing scrabble with his wife. Firstly, the husband hates his wife more when his wife asked to play scrabble together. The husband would be doing something interesting if his wife’s was not around such as climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, starring in the latest Hollywood blockbuster and sailing the Vendee Globe on a 60-foot clipper called the New Horizons. Secondly, this also caused the husband to cheat while playing the game. The husband stole a blank tile from the letter bag when his wife was not looking, and threw back a V from his rack. His wife gave him a suspicious look to the husband and then she just ignored him. Lastly, the husband wants to kill his wife by using scrabble, he played with horrible words such as EXPLODES and QUAKE as he knew the game was jinxed.

            Now we talk about effects when the husband playing scrabble with his wife. Firstly, the husband does not love his wife anymore because of his wife attitude. For example, the husband mentioned that his wife likes to sleep. Secondly, their marriage seemed to be failed because there appears to be no communication between husband and wife. Lastly, the husband got killed because of the B that he was chewing on gets lodged in his throat and he was choking to death. His wife did not help him at all.

             In the nutshell, the husband hates his wife more because he was forced to play scrabble with her. In my opinion, they need to strengthen their relationship by doing interesting activities together in order to save their marriage.
