Class started,
Miss Zu ask the students to submit their first personal log. Every students check their paper very well. But have a few students do not ready yet to submit because they do not print their personal log. Miss Zu feel disappointed with them who not finish their personal log.

At the same day, Miss Zu gives the story for the second personal log. The second personal log is The Variant Little Tailor story. I never heard about the story and I just listening to the story. The story have to listen quite long story and makes me feel boring. But I have to listen the story till the end. The Variant Little Tailor story have a lot of moral values. When I understand about the story and it makes easier to me to summerise the story well. Hope you enjoys read it.

My softcopy about The Variant Little Tailor :

ELC120
PERSONAL LISTENING LOG (PL-LA)

NAME: AIRA SYAZWINA BINTI AYOB
GROUP: JBM1191D


My opinion in this story is the little tailor is very wise to deceived the giants. I never thought that even though, the giants has a bigger size than the little tailor but he managed to defeat the giants because of his wisdom. For example, when the giants challenged the little tailor, the giants took a stone in his hand and squeezed it so that water will dropped out of it. Then, the little tailor put his hand into the pocket, brought out the soft cheese and squeezed it until the liquid ran out. I wonder about why the giants wants to kill the little tailor because the little tailor did the right things. I notice that the king should fulfil his promises because the little tailor have done what the king has required. I predict that the king is honourable to the little tailor but he just wanted to tricked him. The king should not be looked down to the little tailor because he is just a tailor. This reminds me of the little tailor has saved the kingdom from evil. Wisdom is very important than strength. If we use wisdom to fight evils, we will certainly be successful. This part of the story makes me feel that the little tailor is very good and always helping others, the reward that he received is also great.

The Husband And The Parrot

Assalamualaikum and Hi,

16th July 2013,

The title of the assignment is The Husband And The Parrot. For the first time, I never know about the story. Then, I am listening to the story. I quite do not understand about the story. But I am try to listen it.

This is my soft copy about the story :



ELC120 – The Husband And The Parrot
PERSONAL LISTENING LOG (PL-LA)

NAME: AIRA SYAZWINA BINTI AYOB

Become common as the husband loves his wife. My opinion in this story is do not wrong to investigate a matter, but do not punish if we do not have a valid proof. I predict that the husband trust to the parrot but he was be fooled by his wife easily. This part of the story makes me feel pity at the parrot because the parrot tells the truth of what is seen, but was killed by him. I never thought that his wife could doing like that. I notice that the parrot is very honest. I wonder about his wife because she was apologized to her husband when the parrots were dead and she will not turn it back. I think in this story parrots was a victim of the situation to the husband and his wife.
