                   Throughout learning this subject, proficiency English I,  a lot of experience which I and my friends spent together. During studying this subject, our lecturers have given us as much as six assignments blog and today I am going to write our last blog assignments that "it's a wrap." This task is related to what we've learned and can all learn this subject. I'm actually not interested in the subject of related to English since my school days, but for the sake of learning, I have to like it. But ever since I studied this subject, I tried to be interested and more inclined towards the subject and finally I've started to like the subject.

                  I introduced the lecturer who has been teaching us for one semester namely Madam Wirna Bin Abdul Hamid. She was very nice and cares about us. She teaches us this subject with confidence and vigor. Throughout teach us, many assignments she has given us such a task this blog. As an example of this assignment, she had told us to write a blog last assignment this semester. This blog related to the ending of our blog. She tell us that is up to us to write about what in this assignment.

              

                   First of all, I will tell about our experienced along studying this subject. I'm still remember when we were given the assignment to create a dialogue based on paragraph present tense, past tense and so on , it is really difficult for us because we need to make a questions and answers for this dialogue. But, with

the help of our lecturer, she been correct questions and answers that we were wrong so that when we act later, everything seems perfect. We took a few days to memorize our dialogue and when it came time to present, we are very nervous but we tried to stay calm. Finally, after present madam said that our group is very nice.We very pleased to hear the praise.

        

                     Throughout learning this subject, a lot of experience and knowledge that we have get. For example, when we were given the assignment to write about a quarter of our people, a lot of information that we have obtained because we come from different ethnic backgrounds, so the presence of these tasks, we can find out more information about a particular tribe. Besides, we can improve our grammar in English Language. So that, we can use the English more proper in our life daily. Other than that, we also get a more knowledge about English Language and we learn that English Language is not difficult as we think before if we study hard and love that subject. Our classmate also really enjoy this subject.

 

                     Finally, for the last of my paragraph of this blog, I want to say thank you for our lecturer that had been teaching us and thank you also to my friends that always support me in this subject.
