Suggestions and recommendations In order to make English Week more successful in the future, the English Language Panel would like to give some suggestions and recommendations. First, it is suggested that duration of English Week to be extended to two weeks next year. That will enable more activities to be implemented during the English Week. Second, the choice of activities must be variety to promote more participation of pupils. The English Language would also like to recommend the school administration to allow activities to be carried out outside the formal school time table so that more pupils can watch all the activities at different time and place. The school administration must also take immediate action to repair and improve the quality of the school P.A system for a better quality of pup ils presentation.

The English Language Panel also hope that to further improve the English Week 2012 in order to make use of English Language more visible in this school.

REFLECTIVE ESSAY

Time management contributed an important role in order to finish up this task within the given time. Doing searching for the material, I went to the public library. When I am doing this assignment, I found out that it is not easy to write a report about the past event. I had to recall those memories back in 2011. Luckily, during this year, I managed to capture some pictures during English Carnival. English Carnival Day is one of the annual events for primary school in Perlis. Like previously, my school will take part in every competition. The responsible teachers train the pupils until the final day. Our school managed to get prizes in the four activities. From my finding, I gain new knowledge especially in managing the sequences in the report of an event. I refer to a SPM Reference Book to get a brief view on the format of report writing. Throughout my teaching experience, I had never written a formal report for my school. Experience is the best teacher is true indeed. Though I am still learning, besides my years of teaching experience, I still have to balance between my career and study. I have to be a good example for my pupils. Therefore, they will study hard in the future. I hope my pupils will excel in their study and the same thing goes to me. Last but not least, I will ensure myself to keep on track in everything I do.
