GRAMMAR TEST 1 REVIEW

It's been a while since I last posted on my blog (which is my first entry) so here is my second entry and I am going to make some review on my Test 1 of  TSL 041 - Grammar I which is held on July 2014. Actually I am supposed to post this before the Final Examination but due to some obstruction and procrastination caused by myself, finally today I have the mood to write. 

Okay, what am I supposed to write now? 

Based on what did Sir Adlan said, I need to state;

1) What did I do right?
2) What did I do wrong?
3) What did I learn from this test and what am I going to do in future?

First and foremost, in my Test 1, my result is just not bad, and not that good too. But I should be grateful because I didn't struggle much in order to get this. I took this test for granted because I thought it was just a normal grammar test like I used to had in school but unfortunately it was not.

What did I do right?

I don't really remember what did I do right for this test as it was in the July which is 3 months ago but I think I used one of the significant tips that Mr.Adlan gave in his class: Look for the contextual clues by reading the whole paragraph first before answering because maybe the tenses for the whole paragraph are not the same. For example, if there are words like 'currently' or 'right now' and others in the sentence, it means that the sentence use present progressive tense because the words indicate continuing action, something going on now. But for the other sentences, I read them carefully just to make sure the tenses used.

What did I do wrong?

I was careless in identifying the countable / uncountable nouns so I did careless mistakes such as 'show' instead of 'shows' . And also, I was confused whether the tenses used are simple past tense or past progressive tense. 

What did I learn from this test and what am I going to do in future?

From this test, I learned that I should not take tests for granted because they contribute for my final results. Besides, I should not be careless in looking for the contextual clues because they will affect the answer, and sometimes the answers for the whole paragraph will also be affected. So, in the future I will try not to be careless, to study and prepare for the test and insya Allah I will try do better next time!

Careless.

Some silly mistakes :(
