UOI Interview With Ms. Gamage

Can you describe some things that you did well, and some things that you could have done better during the project?

I put every effort of mine, so that I can finish my task on time. After I finished my task I rarely looked at it again. The task that was finished looked ok. To make it better I just needed to spend more time on thinking and take a closer look at my task again. Usually by doing this steps I might be able to come with new good and sometime extraordinary work. I choose this question because I really like it when people know how much hard work that I put and appreciate it. This question specifically allowed me to show my hard work. This question had also made me think of sort of evaluation that I should make to improve for the future use.

Was this topic easier or harder than you expected?

This topic was harder than I expected because badminton is hard to describe in words, they must be experienced. To be able to teach them with written work I must be able to write a few different techniques, to do make it better I might have to take over a hundred pictures and apply every experience that I have in badminton and those things would take ages. I didn’t find much when I did an Internet search about playing techniques . The only thing that I could find was the definition of badminton. I then make this information into a summary, but those things just showed them what you must pay (Hard work) and what things that they had to master in badminton. As I know badminton is never an end, they would stop at nowhere even though you have become the champion of the world.

Why did I choose this question?

This is what I am feeling when I did this project. This questions allowed me to tell more information about what I  understand about badminton after practicing for many years. Part of it is also because it shows how hard I practice until I find out all these information.

If you were to give a lesson to other students about the best way to learn and to show learning, what would you tell them?

According to what I have known, students needed to suit their own personal practice that they think are useful and it has to be done consistently. So the best way that I could think is to give them different techniques according to my own experiences and tell them what needs to be done first and last. This last question is to be a conclusion to the other questions that I choose. This also shows one of the definitions of what I thought is badminton.

How will I prepare my answers for the interview- how do I think I will do predict a grade?

After preparing the question and answer that I need to be interviewed. The rest would be very easy. I just need to do sort of introduction about what is badminton and remember the answer of the question.

I have to make sure that I am fully prepared for the question that they are going to ask for Friday later, so that I wouldn’t stumble around.

Reflection On Weeks 1-5

On week one to five I  choose to research and survey my topic- Badminton. I decided what I will do to show my understanding of the topic. To make sure I kept up with the time I have to table to write down what I have done every week and post it on my blog.

My topic is "How to introduce people to badminton." Before I start with anything else, I would like to tell you why I choose this topic. As you all know I am a professional badminton athlete, I've been playing for over 5 years. Therefore, I will use my five years experience and do some more reading about my topic.

I decided to do a slide presentation for my topic. In that slide presentation I will include all the information, a voice over, my own experience and survey.

I posted what I have done every week, for this project, I think I worked quite effectively, I finished all my jobs and steps that are given by my ESL teacher (Ms Dianne)

In the following weeks,  you would be able to listen to the voice over and for the next four or five weeks you will be able to see my slide presentation when you visit my blog page so look out! Please feel very welcome to post comments and tell me what you think about my posts and what you have learnt about badminton.
