How can i be responsible and respectful 3rd trimester?


3rd trimester has just started! I have planned how I can be responsible and respectful in this trimester. In trimester 2, I wasn't very responsible and respect for completing assignment and using languages. Now, I am going to reflect my behavior, and I will plan what to do in trimester 3.

Responsible:
Mostly, I completed my homework on time. However, I sometimes didn't hand in my homework on time. In trimester 3, I will submit my homework on time. Last trimester, I was really lazy to do my homework, especially band homework. I did my homework after playing with my friends or chatting with people. I am really reflecting. I think I delayed doing my homework on purpose because it was just difficult to do. I just gave up doing homework without trying. Therefore, in trimester 3, I will complete any assignment on time, even though it's very tough. Whenever I don't know how to do my homework, I will ask for help to teachers and parents.

Respectful:
I won't swear in Korean although other students can't understand. Also, I won't talk only Korean which other students cannot understand. Otherwise, my English skills won't improve and I might just stay in ESL forever. Sometimes, I gossiped people in Korean. Furthermore, I yelled and talked loudly in the canteen. It's very disrespectful. I also heard that other students who aren't Korean said that Koreans are too loud and talked in Korean even though it's international school. I was really embarrassed. From now on, I will use my first language less, and I will use English as much as I can.

Time in the peaceful place-forest


Last Tuesday and Wednesday, I went to FRIM to experience nature and many different insects in the forest. I learned how forest looks like and what kind of creatures lives in the rainforest. At first, I was really scared because I really don't like to touch or observe insects. However, all the teachers and friends were so helpful that I could explore the forest easily.
The most interesting activity that I had done in FRIM was going for night walk. It was very dark and scary. However, it was really excting because it cooled me down. Spending night in the FRIM was really facsinating. Especially, fireflies were the best. It was the first time that I saw the fireflies. They were flying beautifully. Also, it was easy to catch them so I could see them clearly. Even though, I got scared because of leeches, it was very memorable activity.

I didn't participate well when we went for aquatic activity. This was because my sandal wasn't useable. The underside of shoes was broken so it was divided into three pieces. I really wanted to participate in because I like to catch and observe the insects, especially in the water. However, the ground was so tough to be barefoot that I couldn't enjoy the aquatic activity. That was why I was standing in a spot stationary.

From this trip, I learned many things. I have learned what spieces are living in FRIM, how they look like and how to observe them. I could feel the natural sounds, smells and feelings. It was very peaceful. I felt like I wasn't in Earth which is very polluted and noisy. In the other hand, I was depressed because the city where we live in, isn't peaceful anymore. This trip will remind in my mind forever.

Outdoors

On Tuesday and Wednesday, I am going to FRIM with 7-A classmates. I am expecting that this trip will be really interesting and meaningful. We will hike the mountainous area and build up the tent by ourselves in the middle of the rainforest. Our team will be looking for many different living things and insects in that place. Although, this is the first time that I ever visit the rainforest, I am very confident to stay there for two days to learn many things about the rainforest.
One other notification is to go to Malaysia Week!! I am going to rainforest which is located in Kuala Gandah. This site is about animals. However, I am not satisfied to this site because I am not friendly with animals. I prefer doing more boat rafting and water activities rather than taking care of animals. However, there should be something that I can learn. I will learn how to be friends with animals and what kind of things that animals like.

Anyways, I am really expecting both FRIM and Malaysia Week. These trips will be unforgettable and meaningful trips for me because I never went to the rainforest before. I promised that I will be a prepared person for these trips!!!!!!
