English

English is the most difficult and frustrated subject within my foundation course in Bellerbys College. In these three terms, I have been done a lot of essay writing, speaking, listening and reading in FES 1,2,3. I believe the hardest and poorest part is reading, because when reading the text that given by the teacher, the texts usually contain many difficult and complicated sentences or vocabularies. As for the final term, English lesson (FES3) was focusing on the university mode of study, such as referencing and bibliographies. The total marks for the whole course had divided into four big parts, which are essay, presentation, listening and debating. As for essay, we wrote at least 1500 words with clear references, notes and bibliographies. Then we presented our essay topic in front of the class and that counted as the presentation part in the total marks. I was pretty much straggling with the essay because I haven’t learn much about references and bibliographies, so there were a big mess on my desk when I was doing my essay.  But finally the marks of my first draft didn’t disappoint me, which I got 20 out of 25.
So, what about others? Listening and debating? Listening is alright for me, we needed to write a summary or cause and effect essay after we listened to a News program or lecture. We did the listening and debating twice a week, by the end of the term, we would have 5 listening and debating marks. As for the final marks, the teacher will count the average of the best two. Today, is the last second day of our English lesson, which will be concluded by doing one debating and one listening task. HOW GRATEFUL ??

CIT

YAY! CIT! My favorite subject! To be honestly, i personally THOUGHT that CIT is the easiest subject ever. In fact, it wasn't. Excel and Microsoft works were the most simple programs for me to use, but after the CIT lessons, I realized i've got so many specific things that i don't know and never used before! In the first few weeks, I was so arrogant about the works, as how i knew all about it and finished them in just two sec*HOW QUICK!* Unfortunately, things got harder and harder, leaflet, presentation, blogging, etc. YET! It is good though, since i've learnt and jotted notes, so that i can use them in my university works or in the future. From the CIT lessons, i did learn how to be a better presenter, as i was a shy girl who always felt embarrass when standing in front of the whole class. My confident were trained from CIT. I was so happy and shocked that i got a good grade in my first presentation, which motivated me to be more relax and normal when presenting. 

Business studies 

Business studies is the most boring subject i've ever had HONESTLY! I do hate essay writing on business, marketing, strategy or etc. But we do have a nice teacher "MR DAVID CROSS" for both BS1 and BS2, he is humor, who always make fun of you*in a good way though* and try to make the lesson more interesting. I remember we had a question game, for the group who won, Mr.Cross will buy them ice-cream. Classmates were so desperate to answer the questions especially IVY :) 
We are going to have business studies 2 exam on this Thursday 10th June. WISH YOU ALL THE BEST and GOOD LUCK!

Economics

The second boring subject....ECONOMICS! I don't like reading and writing stuffs..... 
Apart from Business studies, economics drove me crazy in the first two term. Memorizing things isn't my type at all, it is incredibly ruin my beautiful life. I m tiring to study, tiring to read the books, tiring to go to school. Economics and Business studies do demotivated me on going to school(IT IS THE TRUTH). Well, i am happy enough to get an outcome of above 60, thats what i want.  ECO 1 and 2 are almost the same for me, i don't know what its all about, i just read the notes and tried to memorize all the things. Thats it! DONE.

Accounting

One of my favorite, i started to learn accounting when i was in Australia. I love numbers.
I can spent whole day long on accounting, it never make me bored. I love the feeling when i got the correct answer in counting things. Although theres some theory to memorize, i just like everything about accounting :)
They are easy and simply. Well, but i didnt get a very well result, since i haven't study on them at all.
So theres only 89%

Maths

MATHS, its the same as what i mentioned in the accounting section. Numbers are my life.  I remember how i got all 100% on the homework and one test. But this is what i should be getting since i've learnt them before. About the final exam, without any revision, resulted a 89% as well. *quite disappointed :(*
