Reflection of what you've felt through the 5 senses
Chapter One: Purpose & Missions
written by: Eve, Nita, and Charlotte
Our primary objective is to learn English in the most enjoyable and engaging manner possible. We delve into a wide range of captivating topics, including last year's FIFA World Cup, the globally popular phenomenon of NFTs, the MBTI psychological test which has gained significant traction on the internet, and the ensuing extensive debates that follow.
The entire process is designed by our Director and Vice Director, who employ English as the medium of instruction. Moreover, our members are provided with ample opportunities to showcase their talents and publish their work.
To foster creativity, our classroom holds various innovative competitions. The most impressive game was the Marshmallow Challenge from the high school curriculum, where each group used their imaginative skills to construct the tallest tower.
Chapter Two: Having fun in here:)
written by: Yo-yo, Aaron, Joseph, and Ryan
There are miscellaneous activities in our club, which are all very fascinating and appealing. Here are three activities that we want to let you know.
Cozy one: Watch some movies and eat snacks!
Team-building activities: The marshmallow challenge, which involves using 20 pieces of uncooked spaghetti, tape, and a marshmallow to construct a structure. This challenge not only fosters teamwork and collaboration but also develops leadership skills. It is a highly engaging and enjoyable activity.
Academic learning: Instead of being a listener all the time, we are encouraged to come up with our own ideas and share them, which means getting the chance to be the speaker. Our president has designed a variety of topics that encourage us to do our best on brainstorming, and practicing telling ideas clearly as well as organized.
