Reading is fun!!!

Today, everyone of us had the chance to read stories in the class. Thanks to Emerlyn's enthusiasm, my group was the first one to perform in front of the people. Before that, we practised for a lot of times to perfect our reading skills. I was the narrator 2 and servant 1 in the Tale of Wali Dad. I love this story because Wali Dad is such a down to earth kind of person. He does not take things for granted. Even though he receives enormous gifts from both the King and Queen, he chooses to send the presents back to them respectively and finally when they meet at his place, the King and Queen fall in love. Isn't that a good thing? To bring two  strangers together and live happily ever after. Anyway i felt happy to complete our reading first because we could enjoy watching the other groups. However our grades were kinda low and it caused everyone to be down. It was unexpected to me because i assume that reading is such a simple task that as long as everyone reads their parts smoothly and fluently, it would be easy for us to score a good grade. But what Ms Crescentia said was right. Reading is about portraying the characters and expressing their thoughts and emotions. We have to understand their personality and put ourselves in their shoes. In this way, we could be like them and the audience can understand and connect with us while we are reading. The messages would be effectively conveyed in this manner. And scores are not important as long as we enjoyed the process of reading. I admit that i love doing this together with my friends as a group.It was an enjoyable process and i hope everyone would love it too. So basically this was the last class for ECS and i really enjoy being together with ya all. Thanks to Ms Sheba and Ms Crescentia for their guidance and hardwork for trying to bring us up to a whole new level. Good luck to all of us on the coming Monday and i wish you guys all the best!!!
