Sketch It!

 Aye, aye! Hello, there! We meet again. Today's assignment is.. rather challenging for me. Yep, like the title said, I'm going to try to attempt on making a sketch about this one particular scene in a story I've read, though my drawing skill is just.. beyond abomination. And sad. Oh well, let's check it out, shall we?

For today's reading material, I've read a story titled The Children of The New Forest, written by Captain Marryat. It's a B1 Pre-Intermediate level story, and it consists 6403 words, to be exact. The story tells us about four children that lost their father, Colonel Beverley, to death. They managed to escape and ran away all the way to New Forest. There, they lived with their father's old friend, Jacob, and started their new life as Jacob's grandchildren. They have to forget their noble life and learn to run the household. Interested? You can check them here.

Now, I'm going to show you my sketch. Promise me you will laugh at it. Laugh, or you shall get the beatings you deserved (jk. Please don't laugh at my drawing. I'm scared. Thank you.)

So, what is this drawing, actually? Well, I've sketched the cottage that Jacob owns in the New Forest. When I read the story, I'm curious about "how would Jacob's cottage looks like?". Well, the story did explain about the cottage at one particular scene, but I think that is not enough. So I tried to imagine it and voila, a sketch. I love making scenery, even though I'm bad at it and I prefer writing them down rather than drawing them. I also gave them some details, just for fun. I love making little details here and there. Feels like I'm hiding some easter eggs for children to find it.

Alright, I think that is all about my explanation on my godawful sketch. I don't even dare to ask you whether you like it or not. Oh well, at least I enjoyed it. Until next time, 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...
