(7) Tell about some research you have conducted.

I conducted a research on my English project this year which is an ( Alternative Asscessment) . It was suppose to be done in a group. My task was to work on a News Report Article. The article should contain about 500-700 words,which is alot of words. We were quite worried of how to write a News Report Article. With the help of my teachers, we were managed to do it. We also bought newspapers and surf the net to see how reporters write an article. Slowly, we got a hang of it. Our topic was on Air Polltuion. We did alot of research on Air polltuion and gained alot of information on it. We learned about how the haze from Indonesia affecting us. Actually, it took a long time for us to finish this task. We were not only given an article to write, but we were also told to take a short video clip on it. Example, we should go around and interview people about their persepectives on it. It was quite fun working with our group members and getting interracted with other people. I think that this project is very educational. Through the interviews, we conducted that many people were alert about the recent haze in Sinagpore caused by the Indonesia bush fires. This research was an eye opener for me and my group members. As for me, Project work is not that easy we need to be very organised and prepared.
