Learning Small Talk & Conversational Vocabulary

     Hello, Frizky here again to submit my college assignment. This time we were tasked to take on three modules on an online course from coursera. 

There were many kinds of courses to choose from and each one of them are different from the others. For this week I chose the free course that teaches me about Small Talks & Conversational Vocabulary. The course consisted of one module only, but the module is filled with the materials needed to understand the focused topic.

To put it shortly, the module teaches me on how to make small talks with a person, and to understand the correct specific vocabulary that is usually used in conversations. On the last part of the module, the course gives you a multiple choices assignment to finish, and the questions in said assignment is of course related to the focused topic, which is making Small Talks. It helps you practice on remembering all of the materials that were provided to you from the previous parts of the module.

Here is my assignment results:










    Now I'll give my opinions and thoughts about coursera. There are a lot of topics and courses to choose from, and some of them have more than 5 modules, making them take up to one month to finish fully. The explanation and video provided in the module are easy to understand, and they are very forgiving in terms of making a mistake in the assignments of each module. BUT, the downside of coursera is that 90% of the courses are not free. The paid ones, even though they are good, are unnecessarily expensive.

Scrabble Is a Game that Made Me Realize How Dumb I am

My name is Frizky Karunia Saputra, from class 3SA05, with 10623071 NPM.         In this college assignment, we were tasked to play a game called 'Scrabble' a game that tests your fast thinking and vocabulary skills.      I did not know what Scrabble was before this assignment. But after playing for the first time, I realized how stupid and slow I am. Even competing against a bot for a 3-minute match had an absurdly embarrassing result. The bot managed to beat me by a lot of points and there were a lot of moments where I had to take more than 25 seconds to think of what word I could put onto the board. The match made me question my skills and talents in English. Needless to say that I will never touch this game ever again until I have honed my skills further in discovering new vocabularies.  Here are the screenshots from that match: Here are the list of words that came from that match: 1. RETELL (verb) : "to tell again or in another form" exam...
