Introduction
To Mdm Fazilah,
My name is Lewis Wee,
a graduate from Temasek Polytechnic with a Diploma in Infocomm and Network
Engineering. The reason why I chose Engineering despite having a sea of choices
is because of how intriguing machines and humans work in sync to interact with
one another to get work done. It makes me eager to learn more and have a deeper
understanding on whatever that goes on behind that human eyes do not usually
give much attention and thoughts to. Being a student of Sustainable
Infrastructure Engineering (Land), I am given the opportunity to build the
future of Singapore’s public transport system.
In terms of
communication weakness, I am not very strong in my vocabulary and grammar. At
times, I may have trouble communicating my thoughts into words which then would
lead to slight miscommunication. Nevertheless, the thesaurus will be my best
friend in helping me improve my English. On the other hand, I am competent to
stand in front of a crowd and present myself confidently. Most importantly, I
am able to be a team player which would definitely help in group projects.
One of my two goals
for this module is to sharpen my English writing skills so that upon
graduation, I am able to write professionally. Having the ability to write
clear and concise English is a skill that many lacks and it would be very
advantageous if I were to be able to present myself properly especially in the
real working world where the competition is everywhere.
Another goal for me
is to be able to give and receive feedback appropriately. Undeniably, it is
often tougher to receive negative feedback as I will question my work in
return. Nonetheless, it is always good to have honest feedback so that I can
improve on my work. Likewise, I hope that I can also benefit my friends and
group mates with my feedback for them if need to, so that we can all learn
together.
Thank you for your
time to read this through.
Yours sincerely,
Lewis Wee

ReplyDeleteYour interest in building the future of Singapore's public transport system is also something that I am looking forward to in the future. Before that, it is vital to be able to communicate well and make sure our thoughts are molded perfectly in words to be to do well in the real working world.
Your content of your blog post is impressive! You were able to further make me understand the true importance of effective communication skills. Having the advantage of clear and concise English could distinguish us from the competition.
I truly believe that you will be able to attain your goals by the end of this module. Let us work hard together to improve our communication skills.

Hi Lewis
ReplyDeleteYour blog post is so well written and I'm glad that I'm able to understand you better after reading it through. I agree with you that it is hard to express our thoughts into words which may lead to miscommunication. I believe that we will all improve our communication skills at the end of the day with the help of our professor and peers.
Yours sincerely

Hi Lewis, your blog is very interesting to read and it is great to see you being so passionate about engineering. I am in awe of your goal as you made me realize that having the ability to write well distinguish yourselves among others which places you in a more advantageous spot. I hope you can realize your goals as we learn together in effective communication lessons.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Lewis
ReplyDeleteAfter reading through your blog, I believe that you are very passionate in engineering. Engineering is agreeably a main nature of how machines are designed and constructed in a way to meet a person’s need. Having said that, your curiosity in wanting to acquire more technical knowledge will motivate you immensely in your future career as working and improving public transport systems in Singapore.
Regarding your communication skillset, I am able to perceive you as a more vocalised individual, compared to your writing abilities. In light to the latter, I agree that a thesaurus is effective in providing you with more words. Besides this, reading more novels and news articles will result you in enhancing your expressions through your speaking and writing. I too agree that you are a team player who can manage conversations held during group projects. With more practice in writing, I believe you will have a greater competition edge to excel in the working world.
In my opinion to your blog, some sentences can be shortened so that your message is elevated with more clarity. However, I enjoyed my time reading through your blog as it covered all contents in great details. I wish you well in this module and to know you better too.
Sincerely
Joshua
Dear Lewis
ReplyDeleteThank you for your letter.
You are the few who can stand comfortably to speak in front of a crowd - a strength that you mentioned you have.
You should expose yourself as much as possible to good writing so that you can model such good writing into your own. Practice makes perfect!
Best wishes in this module and at SIT!
Kind regards
