LB Reflection

In this unit, i learn about making a good argumentative essay. We learn on how to create an argumentative essay with a good format, how to make a thesis statement and other things. We made some argumentative essays with different topics, the first one is about the Volupides case, Ahmad Dhani's Son accident and also creating our own argumentative essay. My argumentative essay topic is about SVP needs National Examination preperation. For me, I still need to improve on how i write an argumentative essay. I have to learn to put more evidences in the essay.

The other thing i learn from this topic is about speech and debate. I think I did well in the debate and also speech. My speech's topic is about SVP needs better facilities. While my debate topic is about "Will globalization leads to a brighter future?" We have done the debate, I am the first speaker of my group. But i think i still need to improve my research skills and also to put some expressions when i say something during the debate.

I enjoy learning in this unit, But i think i can do better than i have done.
