Reflection

                If last grading period I compared myself as a half charged battery cellphone, in this second period, I am a 25% charged battery cellphone during our ICT class.

       I have learned a lot in our discussions, the parts of a web browser and page address. We also tackled search engine. In every lesson that we had, there is an activity. The tag attributes, it was my favorite topic. We can put some designs to our html file.  

       Like in the first grading there were no problems that I have encountered to my lessons. This period, we have our practice teacher but she was able to discuss all the lessons briefly that is why I understood it all and our topics for this grading period are easier to memorize than the last grading period. The problem is my laziness. If in the first grading period, I only rushed one blog, now, two blogs were rushed. I became lazier that is why I was only 25% charged battery cellphone.

       This next grading I must do my best to improve my scores and blogs. Last grading, I told this but I wasn’t able to do it.   

Upholding English Proficiency for Communicative Competence

                Proper words in proper places make the true definition of a style. Proper spoken English instantly marks you out as a highly educated person whose views and opinions are seriously taken.  

        In order for us to be respected while speaking, we need to use proper English. For instance, while the teacher is having a lecture, he had used wrong grammar. The effect of what he did is student might laugh on him while having his lecture which is a sign of disrespect. It will be bear to their minds that the teacher is not highly educated in using proper English and they would not take seriously what he is telling. Good grammar keeps the listener focus on what he has to say, not on how he says it in a wrong way. In texting, we are fun of shortcuts and there is a group of people who they called “jejemon”. They are destroying the use of proper English. They think that they are cool when they are using this kinds of words, “eow phowz” which is supposed to be hello, “where na u?” which is supposed to be where are you? and others which they change the correct spelling and add some new words. The educated persons might laugh on and there is a tendency that they would not be able to understand their message.

        Reading books, magazines and newspaper may enhance our correct grammar and also doing grammar exercises. Use correct English for communicative competence!
