Summary - Draft 1

In the article by Tan, “Floor lights help 'smartphone zombies' keep eye on the road”, Land Transport Authority (LTA) will be implementing a six-month trial project by installing LED strips on the pavement to improve the road safety feature. The aim is to resolve the hazards caused by the 'smartphone zombies' phenomenon. Smartphone zombies refer to people who can’t take their eyes off their phone while traveling around.

While LTA approach on the LED strips is to improve the safety aspect of road users, it possibly fails to educate and raise the awareness on pedestrian safety of road users.

Dear Professor Blackstone, I am Toh Wei Jie from the effective communication class group 1, and I am writing this email to formally introduce myself. I have graduated in Ngee Ann Polytechnic with a diploma in Hotel and Leisure Facilities Management. Because I have chosen to embark on a career in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), communication skills are essential for me to communicate with my colleagues well. I am a good listener and I think that it contributes to my communication skills. For example, in order to hold a strong conversation, it is important that I put in the effort to listen and understand what the other party is saying so that I could give my opinion to it. If I do not give my attention to the other party, it would pose a disrespectful image and eventually made the conversation experience a bad one.  I do not have a strong grammar  which pose a disadvantage for me when I communicate with others. Sometimes, I could not structure a sentence properly to expres

Oral Presentation Reflection CAA 25/11/17 (Portfolio FINAL)

On 16th November 2017, my group, The Solution presented the proposal to improve the energy consumption in Singapore. This presentation gauges my current presentation skill on how well I am capable of explaining the content of the proposal to the audience.

Therefore, I need to assess and reflect on my performance of the presentation to further improve my presentation skill. It is essential to identify the strength of my presentation so that I could maintain the same standard for my future presentations. During my polytechnic days, I learned that it is important to prepare for the presentation. As such, I prepared myself by practising to present in front of the mirror before the actual presentation so that I could to deliver the content to the audience smoothly. Therefore, I feel that investing time and effort to prepare for a presentation benefits me by building confidence in myself to deliver

Critical Reflection CAA 25/11/17 (Portfolio FINAL)

For the past 12 weeks, I have “learnt, unlearn and relearn” the various communication skills through the Effective Communication module. I felt that the module assignments have helped me to improve my writing and verbal communication skill. First of all, reader response has improved my ‘analysing’ ability and encourage me to think with my own perspective towards an article. Through this assignment, it has taught me to write my own views in regards to respond to the article by gathering reliable sources from other authors view. Furthermore, it polishes my citation and paraphrasing skill. Next, I believe that the technical report is the highlight of this module. It has given my group an opportunity to write a report by identifying a real-life engineering problem. It deciphers our ideas, research, and observation into a formal report format, which it is a fundamental skill to learn and use it throughout our journey in Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). Lastly, I have be
