REFLECTION	This lesson was partially completed. The first lesson on revision of the message for the postcard was completed. However, the mock oral test has to be postponed to Friday. The first lesson was interesting when students asked how to score a full ten marks for the question. So the teacher read the best message which was awarded a full 10 marks. The sample was also given and students now know that they are to present a main idea with a brief elaboration. They had also forgotten that they are not to construct sentences using Malay language structure which will lead to them making structural error. The teacher pointed this out on the board by giving a lot of examples of structural errors especially with the usage of “….can also….”.
