ETP Oral and Writing Training

   Before the semester began, I saw ETP on the Internet, and I thought it is cool, though my English is pretty poor. In order to improve my poor English, I take part in this program. Everyone participating in the ETP course is supposed to take the Oral and Writing Training class.

   In the class, we discuss things in English completely, and our teacher, William, also teaches the class in English entirely. Though it sounds difficult, I am still happy in the class with my poor English.

   However, last week, William gave each group an assignment to find an international event or trend and do some research on it. It didn't sound too hard to finish, but our group didn't do any discussion till the day before the class, and I almost even forgot it. It was my team member, who is also my classmate in MIS, that reminded me of the assignment, though he didn't do anything as well.

   Since I didn't want to be embarrassed in front of the class, I googled a news about a shipwreck took place on Monday just before the class in case there is really no one do something. And it really came in handy...... So we really use the simple news to have a brief presentation. I can't image what will happen and how embarrassed we will be if I didn't google somthing just before the class.

   After listening to others' presentation, I really think we didn't do well enough. I think after this time, our team members won't be so neglected next time, and will be well-prepared for next time!
