In my opinion, LHP 459 course is an interesting course compare to other courses. I surely will recommend this course to my friends. This is because whenever we attend the class we will not feel tension and stress. However for me, I feel a bit tension whenever need to present in front of the class. Whenever is my turn to present, I will feel nervous. Sometimes I didn’t control my feeling well and the whole class will realize my nervousness. I also don’t know why I still act like this although I already done so many presentation before. Maybe my character is timid type so will easily feel nervous.
Back to the topic, our lecturer, Dr. Jafre is a nice and knowledgeable lecturer and he conduct this course very well. He tried to so something different from the way other courses lecturer do so that we will not feel bored and pay attention in the class. We were having fun in the class. The types of activities we did in the class was to discuss about current issues, watching an interesting movie, compose song, sing song, present forum, writing blogs and presentation about a project. We can choose anything we like to present for the project and the lyrics that we need to compose.
Although all of us were busy with other courses assignments, test and projects, luckily we also manage to handle the activities in this course. This was because most of the activities were in a group work so we had to find a suitable time to discuss. For my opinion, English for interpretation is really an interesting course and we were having fun to take this course. Besides that, I can learn my things from this course too because some of the topic we discuss in class widen my knowledge. Lastly, whoever not yet taken this course make sure you apply for this course coming next two semester.

Trishaw
My group members consist of Joyce, Hanim, Noin, Heliana and me. At first, we felt so headache about the topic we want to present for our last project. After brainstorming for few hours at last we decide to do research on trishaw in Penang. When we talk about trishaw, what come across your mind? For us, we just feel want to know the reason why still so many seniors citizen work as trishaw rider. Why they so old already still want to give this kind of service to the tourists and local people. Some more, nowadays most of us at least have one vehicle at our home except the foreigners.
So on 22 of September, we went to do our research at Georgetown at 10 o’clock in the morning. We travel around to find the trishaw rider. At the end we manage to find them in Explanet, Cititel and Komtar. We interview few of the trishaw rider, they are so kind and friendly. They accept our interview when we approached to them. They give us many information such as the renter for the trishaw, type of foreigners and others thing.
From the interview, I just got to know they work in a shift. They can choose the time they want to give the service. Other than that, there few company which in charge of the riders. Different company have different route to ride. Usually the tourist guide will bring the tourists to the riders and recommend the tourists to have a ride on the trishaw. Whenever the tourist guide led the tourists to the rider, they will have some commission from the money that the rider got from the service.
For your information, most of the riders are still single and the average age for them to become rider is 18 to 75 years old. Most of them become trishaw rider because have a better income and they are not well educated so don’t have any company like to hired them. In conclusion, trishaw is also a type job that will give a better income to the people.

Forum
On Wednesday, 26 September, my group had presented our forum. The topic of our forum is Islam Hadhari. At first, our lecturer divided us into a group consist of either 4 or 5 people. Then, our lecturer gave a topic to every group. My group members are Christina, Siew Leng, Yong Pey, Yen Yeng and me. When I got to know the topic that we need to present is Islam Hadhari. The things that came through my mind were the ten principals. However the knowledge I know about Islam Hadhari was very shallow. I don’t really know well about the content of Islam Hadhari.
That day, I didn’t present the forum very well. This was because I’m busy with others assignments and at the same time the preparation that I had make was not good enough. Other than that, I am worried that the point that I need to discuss is out of topic. At that time, I am too nervous and I didn’t have an eye contact with the audience. Besides that, the comment that had given by our lecturer was we didn’t attract the attention of the audience. This was because some of the group discuss about their own forum behind the class.
I think our topic was a bit bored and maybe they didn’t have enough time to prepare their forum so they used the time to discuss about their presentation. The day before we present was Moon Cake Festival follow the Chinese lunar calendar. We need to use the time to discuss about the forum and we missed the celebration at Tasik Harapan. This was because we have to know which things is our priority. So we let go the joyous time and prepared the presentation at our room.
After all although we didn’t present the forum well, we had tried our best. I have learn more about Islam Hadhari after surf on net and reading books about Islam Hadhari information.
