An Interview with Ivanhoe and Rebecca

 Aye, aye! We meet again! How's life? Sad? Yeah, me too. Oh well, anyway, I got yet another project with my partner, and it requires us to do an interview. Well, two interviews, actually. And of course, we had to choose a story, and boy oh boy it was long. Then we choose one character for each interview and pretend to be interviewed, or as the interviewer. Confused? Me too, my child. Me too.

So, what's the story? Well, it's a fairytale called "Ivanhoe" written by Walter Scott. It is said to be B1 Pre-Intermediate level story with 14758 words in total. Pretty long, eh? Well, lemme give you a brief summary, just to make sure that you'll have the idea about this story. It tells us about things that happened after The Third Crusade ended. There will by stories about knights, kings, and some ladies. To be honest, the story feels like it scatters around, no disrespect to the author, but I hope it wouldn't get weird cut and transitioning between one scene to another. It's the downfall of the story, in my opinion, bu oh well, story is story. If you want to try to read it, here, you can check it out.

Now, for the interview. Dun, dun, dun! Here's how our "interview" went. We tried our best.

So, once again, we tried our best. It was fun, but exhausting at the same time. We need to understand the story, and think about the questions for the interview. Acting is hard, and only God and my partner, Alex, know how many times we had to retake the recording on my part because of my anxious and constantly confused behavior smh. I feel bad. I'm not good at being a host. Well, anyway, at least we finally finished the task, and satisfied for the result, I hope.

Well, that's all about my reflection, I, Miss Alko Hollysum, would like to thank you for your attention on my reflection about the interview (and possibly rant. The story is confusing!). Well, I guess it's more of a rant. Oh well. I guess a task is a task, and I have to finish it no matter what. Anyway, see you in another assignment! Ciao!

English and Me

Hello, there! This is my very first post here. I think I should make a little introduction. My name is Arinda. I'm a college student from Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana. This blog is for my assignments. So I won't post anything besides my college stuffs. Now that you know a bit about me, let's get into the topic : English and Me! It's kinda funny on how I recall any good or bad memories about my English learning. It might sounds stupid, but since I was only an elementary student, I get to learn English from games. Yes, games. A casual, light novel RPG kind of game. Well, just say every games I've played. I follow the game's story, and whenever I found a difficult word, I search it up in my English dictionary. That's how my vocabulary develop. Not only games, I also learned English from movies. My mom used to play Disney movies for me since I was 4 years old, everyday! I guess that also took a part on building my English listening skill. So yeah, I've b...

 Aye, aye! We meet again! How's life? Well, mine is good, kinda. Today, eh, I mean, two days ago, I got yet another project. It says that I have to make a bookmark for each listening and reading material I have read/watch. After 2 hours of finding some inspiration for this project and another 3 hours of making the project (including snacking, slacking off, and having an existential crisis), I finally finished. Dang, that's a long time. Anyway, let's see what we got today, shall we? Alright, the first one is a reading material, a story. It's called "The Silver Swans" by Gallico Paul. It consists 3522 words. No, the site does not show what level this reading material is, but oh well. Reading material is reading material. Well, the story is about Horatio Fundoby, an old man that meets a young lady named Thesis at a houseboat. Apparently, she is desperate of finding her true love, and the old man is there to help. Also, she sings a song titled, well, you've gu...
