UFS 201 - 1st Reflection

In 1st reflection, I just want to express my feelings when I first learned the subject English Purpose. I am very excited but when Madam Atee told us that do not take chances on this subject, I feel very nervous because of the fear of failure in this subject. In the first chapter, I learned about the thousands of meaning in a word. For me, a thousand words also reflect a deep meaning and a person will be processed on a different meaning. Therefore, we do not quickly think bad about others without trying to understand what is being said. Madam Atee also told us to write the ending of 'A thousand words ' after watching this short movie. So in my opinion, she will receive the parcel and try to find that man. The end of story, they finally meet and fall in love with each other.
