A Brief Summary - 07/8/2020

 English-Extended with Mr Merdianto on Fridays. You know the drill.

Prepositional Phrases

Let me just preface this post by saying I'm sorry if this post sounds a bit rough - I haven't had my morning shower and my eyes itch like crazy.

Prepositional phrases - basically, phrases with a preposition in them. For example:
  • The cat in the middle is the cutest
  • My mother had always wanted to live in a cabin by a lake
There are many types of prepositional phrases:
  • Adjectival
    • Describes the noun
  • Adverbial
    • Describes the verb
  • As a noun
    • Heaven knows how to describe it. Just look at these examples:
      • During the national anthem is the worst time to blow your nose
      • After the game will be too late for us to go to dinner
That's it. I honestly don't know what else to say. Have a good day.

A Brief Summary - 30/7/20

First of all, I'm sorry this post was published a bit later than usual. I had a good nap though! Secondly, this time with Mr Merdianto... Job Vacancies Today, in our usual Thursday English-Core class with Mr Merdianto, we learned about job vacancies, and how to apply to companies with vacancies with a letter and a CV. We mainly talked about what's in a job vacancy letter and a CV, and soon enough we were set with our tasks of finding a job vacancy add with these conditions: Must be in English Experience needed must not exceed 3 years Must be relevant to your actual career choice Easy enough, I thought. Sure enough, I quickly found myself a government job vacancy in an Arizonian city which was more or less tied to my preferred career path: accounting. That's right, ya boi here be doin them ledgers*. After I forwarded it to Mr Merdianto for his approval, I simply started writing the letter. I'd upload my letter here but...I can't seem to find a way to upload .doc file

A Brief Summary - 17/7/20

Friday. Perhaps one of my most favourite days because it's nearly the weekend and also the fact that today's lessons are super chill. I only have Maths, English-Extended, Music and Accounting on Fridays - all of which I really find interesting and...lax. As per usual with English with Mr Merdianto, be it Core or Extended, I have to write a brief summary of the lesson and post it to this lovely blog. It's not just me who has to write a blog - all of my classmates both in Core and Extended have to write our own personal blogs. I honestly feel a bit bad for Mr Merdianto as there are at least 80 students in my year group, all with our own individual blogs that he has to read and grade. Thus, this will be a bit short. Mainly to preserve Mr Merdianto's sanity. Although I find it a hobby to write my feelings, typing away, clackity-claking away on my keyboard, I also have to mind my teacher's sanity. I don't need them to go crazy over the amount of work they need to gra

Internal Screams of Giddiness

What's that? A title other than "A Brief Summary"? Today with Mr Merdianto, we had our mock interviews. Well, some of us did. I think I went up first because nearly immediately after we went into our rooms, Mr Merdianto joined mine. *insert internal screaming of unpreparedness* Mr Merdianto said that the interview will be recorded and perhaps uploaded onto YouTube. *insert internal screaming of nervousness and unpreparedness* Right. I tried to stall for time by saying that I wasn't ready but then again, it was just a mock interview. It's not for a real job. I said to myself, "Eh, why not?" and just plunged straight into it. I was horrible. I had to take long pauses, my phone went off (I forgot to set it to silent) and my brother walked in and made me break my focus. As for the questions themselves, well, simple but because I was nervous I was barely able to say anything that would make me look nice in an actual interview. The interview itself lasted for
