~ Britzone 2 ~

The sun was shining and it’s a lovely day when I attended the second meeting of My English Speaking Club. I dropped into the class when Farhan and Prass were explaining a game before the members. Quite at loss in a second, to get involve in the class activity coz of my lateness, but in another seconds I had been with Instructors’ advice to doing with a simple game given that asked us to choose 5 pictures we prefer to and discussed it with our partner, Yanti was my partner that day, and it’s kind of an ice breaking session which just took a minute.

In the second session we jumped to a psychological test to knowing our willingness to study English. It’s quite interesting however, from my score of the test an interpretation said that actually I love English but haven’t really struggle for it yet, so I need to make a strategy and intensive study if I wanna be a good learner. Hmm…good advice for such ‘jumping-bug’ learner like me (hehe)

Then we went to the third session, we’re divided into 3 groups with 6-8 in each group. We got 5 pieces of pictures that must be arranged into a story. It’s a little bit wasting time when dealing with the theme of the story, because each of us in the group had different Ideas about the story going to be created. We also found difficulties coz there’s no similar face in the pictures given. Finally we decided that the most important are the theme and the story flowing, nothing to do with the different faces for each characters. Then, our group made a story about Juvenile delinquency - Drug Abuse - and luckily, we could make the story flowing succinctly and didn’t raise any criticisms.

Then it was rather alluring session when we heard stories from other groups. Ali’s Group picked “Tukul Presidential Campaign” as their Theme. Even though we could create a story in ‘a dreaming country’, anyway the story stimulated me to criticize the theme. I said that promoting Tukul to be a president is a case that doesn’t make sense at all and rather rumbling, related to his background, and experience. They came no surprise on my criticism and finally I could grasp the Idea that it’s a mere cynical story made to satirizing the political condition today when many actors or actresses turn to be Politicians.

Then the third groups told the story about Brad Pitt’s Advertisement Company which engages with the tobacco manufacturing to make the odd but beautiful ads for their products. They came to an end to make a curly haired woman with improper-smoked cigarette in her lip to be their fabulous Ads, and this theme also raised many criticisms related to the prevailing law regard to Cigarette Ads, locally and internationally. Then we ‘wandered’ in law sphere discussion for a while.

Then we arrived to the closing part, and quite surprised by an impressive agenda for next Saturday, that we will have an English native speaker – Mr. Brian – as our key note speaker, for ‘in confirmation’ theme.
