JOURNAL FOR THE ROLE PLAY

Today is really an exciting day. We have to finish an important part of the mid term test- the role play. As you know, it's a difficult part because we not only need to think about the interesting script but also have to act naturally. And writing a script is not easy at all because we need to apply the expressions we learnt into the script correctly and suitably. So, each of us must think about the script and then present it to the other members and the script that many of us vote will be chosen. And luckily, my script is chosen. I really admire the some of the other groups because of their humorous and interesting scripts. They have sense of humour, so the script they wrote is really attracted me and all class from the beginning to the end. Now, let me show our group's feeling about the plays we saw.
- First, Egirls with the play " Cinderelly": the script is good, humorous and unpredictable. At the beginning, I thought that it would be the second Cinderela, but it wouldn't. Nghi acts Cinderely, a strong, tricksy and very lovely girl. It's totally different to the traditional Cinderela. It brought us new feelings. Thuy is a humorous and a little bit crazy fairy. We couldn't stand laughing when seeing the fairy flew softly and especially when she tell that prince is Bi Rain but then Luc appeared. Luc, Trang, Tien acted very well. Trang and Tien surprised me because they act as immoral characters. It's not easy at all to act that kind of people but they did impressively. So, I think you will receive good score.
- The hat: impressive music and sound. But I think you shouldn't put a lot of music into your play because it can make people not concentrate on it. Hiep is funny because he always said that:" I'm a handsome beast" and said hello with the two fingers. The other members also acted naturally and I think you made a progress because you overcame the stage fright. Hiep and Thuong usually speak with a low voice but today, I think they spoke loudly enough. Well done.
- Dathahola: Your performance is good. Thao is really cool in that costume,like cowboy. Hong acted very well because I can see that she put all her feeling in her character and she almost cried. Dan and Lai also did their best. But I feel your script is a little bit hard to understand because the play ended rather sudddenly. But don't worry. You did your best, and it's the most important.
- Our group-Sakura paradise: Unlike other groups,our group choose a modern play talking about the relationship between mother and daughter. Their conflict is a common problem in many families nowadays. Although it doesn't have many humorous situations, I think it have many good lessons. We spent a lot of time to practise and I think we can be proud because we tried our best.
- 4leafclover: in my opinion, your script is very good. It's extremely humorous.I can see you put a lot of effort to prepare it. Ngoc is really impressive as a naughty pig with surprising crying. How can you do that? It's great. Trang is good as lovely aerobic pig. The other members also acted well, too. I like the way you act and sing. Especially, the music is an important part of your play. I like them, "tay du ki" song, "Bao Cong" song, etc. It made the play become attracted.
- How to smile to life: Oanh acted very well and your pronunciation is really good. Mai is often nervous when speaking in public but today you acted naturally. Of course you have some mistakes but don't worry because it is the common mistakes when people have to speak and act in public.We also have mistakes,too. Quan made us laugh a lot as step mother. And Cuong is funny when he said: " But's speaking." Good job guys. I wish we could see your ending because your play is really interesting.

THOUGHTS OF THE LAST PRESENTATION

The last presentation was rather smooth but too long- about 3hours.I felt too hungry and I'm sure that the other friends did, too.But it doesn't the matter.The problem is that how all groups worked.
First,"Four-leaf clover"group: each member speaked fluently,but they didn't get the listeners'attention much.They just invited two persons to stand in front of the class to practise one situation.
Second ,"How to smile to life" group: They didn't speak as fluently as "Four-leaf clover"group.And just two members of this group speaked in fronf of the classs.Although they got more attention from the listeners than "Four-leaf clover"group, the way they speaked was not really exciting.They asked some friends to practise some very simple expressions.
Third, "Sakuraparadise"group: They got more listeners' attention than two previous groups,and the way they presented was really exciting. But they had problem with the key of the excercise at the end of the presentation.
Next,"Dathahola"group : their pronunciation was rather good .The way they presented was also exciting and the pictures were so lovely.But, just two members of this group speaked.
And "E-girls" group: They speaked fluently.they also attracted attention from listeners.But,the way they presented wasn't really exciting.
Finally,"G7hat"group: they speaked too softly.But their preparation for the power point was really careful. Most of the people liked three exciting clips.But they didn't prepare the key for each clip.
However, all of the groups had the same mistakes : they just used the expressions in the textbook and sometimes they used them wrong in grammatical function.

Last week we have an opportunity to debate some topics .I think it's difficult but exciting. Do you see it's familiar to ''KET NOI TRE'' programmar on VTV6? Our class were separated two big groups with two leader. Each group was one side of debate .The topic for debate is very interesting, for example: how important the breakfast is or most of conversation in chat rooms is just rubbish, isn't it? All members of each group have to work together to find out evidences to protect their group's oppinion as well as object other group. However, there is a problem to be existed: just two leader and some of students who speak english well join to debate; the rest of class is silent. It's not good. Mr Binh also realize that, but he didn't do anything to change. I feel that lesson a bit boring.

WHY DON'T WE STUDY INTO GROUPS?

We know that "study group"is the effective wayto improve our study result.It is not only good for you but also good for your partners.Especially in speaking,you can practise your speaking with your friends .You can improve your pronunciation or intonation yuorself and so do the others.Although many people think "study group is just gossip",it is necessary toyour speaking!You can talk with your friends in english without hesitation.It is really good for you!

HOW TO DEBATE WELL?

HOW TO DEBATE WELL?

In the speaking class, "debate" is always exciting.However,will it still be exciting if there is someone silent during the debate?.It is likely to be boring.So,to me,the debate will be more exciting if:

First,about the topic for debate,the teacher should arrange a "cool"topic.I mean the topic for debate should be familiar with everyone .They can understand what they will say more clearly and enthusiastic!

Second is also the most impportant,the student should be more confident.The teacher should encourage them by asking them "What do you think about this?"more freqently.Because maybe there are some students alawys quiet ,if the teacher doesn't encourage them ,they will be alawys quiet!

Finally,we should use "micro" when debating.This makes us hear well what the others are saying!

Mr Binh teaches us speaking subject this semester.At first,I think he's very strict because I met him when I took final exam last semester.But it's him who makes me think again.He teaches differently from Ms Hoa,the teacher taught us before.It seems that there is other atmosphere in our classroom (may be it is ''noisier'' , not quiet) .In class, we have many opportunities to practise speaking English.He said that the most important we have to remember is that speaking a lot,not fearing to make mistakes.However,he also requested us to do many things such as working together in four student group, writing journal in blog after each lesson.Especially,we not only speak english well but also act as a true situation .I think these difficult to do.
