TAN ZI CIN'S E-PORTFOLIO
For this third assignment, we were required to from a group of three. My group members were Sharon Chow, Lim Chong Min and me. We were assigned to be against the topic given and had a group meeting to discuss the points and ideas required for debate. In this assignment, we had to apply the skill of communication and behaviour in analysing interaction with each other both at individual and at group levels. Also, we had to response to the issues faced and analyse the topic clearly during debate. Furthermore, we have to behave our language and speaking way to avoid the misunderstanding and sensitive issues toward others.

ii) Reflection
In this assignment, we had a group discussion to discuss our against part to the topic and the points that we should debate. In order to apply the skill of communication and behaviour in analysing interaction with each other both at individual and at group levels, as I was the third speaker to conclude my part to against the topic, I tried to as confident as i can to speak out loud my conclusion although I was nervous since the audience were paid attention on me. Luckily, I ended my part in a smooth way. However, the other group who supported the same topic had won the debate.
From this assignment, I had learnt to be confident to speak out clearly in explaining my points. Also, I had to understand the points given from other people and respond it efficiently.
