UNIT 9

Controversial Issues

What did you learn?

      In this unit I learn new grammar, vocabulary and discuss about politics. Activities from this unit were a little easy to understand because the last semester I studied it. The first activity I learned was the Count-Nouns for abstract ideas and verbs followed by objects and infinitives. I learned that they don´t require any article. They don´t have plural form or proceeded by any article. Example, education is an important issue. (RIGHT) The education is an important issue. (WRONG). I learnt verbs followed by an infinitive.  Also, I learnt a new vocabulary about political social believes and some controversial issues. They are adjectives to describe political people. Countries have different from of government. I heard classmate´s opinion in which most of them share opinions in favor and pros.

How did you learn it?

      These activities I learnt were from teacher´s explanation, handouts, and classmate’s debate. I researched extra information. I learned about some controversial issues. I made a group of 3 students in which we discussed about compulsory military. We shared our opinions. It helped me to get more knowledge about politics.

How are you going to apply it?

      I´m going to apply these activities I learned to discuss about whatever controversial issues. It´s going to help me not confuse the grammar. Everything I learned I´m going to apply in the future.  As a result, it helps me to get more knowledge for my professional life.
