WEEK 2
My perception about hostel life has changed since I stayed in IPPM hostel. Living in
hostel has shown me reality and the other sides of life.
First, I learnt to manage my time. For example, early in the morning, I wake up, then I
go to bathroom, get ready for class, walk together with my colleagues and not only that,
I also go to BISA from Monday to Thursday from 7pm until 9pm.
In other words, by staying in the hostel, I learnt how to follow the schedules give and
disciplines myself to be a better person. In fact, I also realize the sweet of friendship and
teamwork.
I miss all those during my upper secondary in my former school. Although I had two
weeks experience staying in hostel when I was in form one, but because of homesick, I
could not make it.
Now, this is the third week staying in hostel, I really enjoy my life. In fact, I am very
happy because I manage to get IPPM, near to my hometown. I do not feel any problem
because my family can come anytime when I need them.

WEEK 3
As usual, on Monday, we will have our Learning Skills class with Madam Fazlon. For
this week, we had learnt about identify learners learning styles. There are three types of
learning styles which involves visual, auditory and kinesthetic. Not everyone learns the
same way. In fact, there is a stunning variety of learning styles. As for myself, I am a
visual learner.
Visual Learners are learners who learn through seeing. These learners need to see the
teacher's body language and facial expression to fully understand the content of a
lesson. They tend to prefer sitting at the front of the classroom to avoid visual
obstructions such as people's heads. They may think in pictures and learn best from
visual displays including diagrams, illustrated text books, overhead transparencies,
videos, flipcharts and hand-outs. During a lecture or classroom discussion, visual
learners often prefer to take detailed notes to absorb the information.
Not only that, visual learner also having trouble remembering verbal instructions. I have
a difficulty in remembering and understand verbal instructions and usually I always have
misunderstanding the instructions that had been given to me. Besides , I also prefer to
have an instructions on paper. In addition, visual learner also needs an overall view
and purpose before beginning a project. This is important because I need to understand
about what is the project all about so that I can be more focus on it.
At the end of this class, I had learnt that when I become a teacher, I need to understand
and try to have different activities in class so that all of my students will enjoy my class
and get input of what I had teaches them.

WEEK 4
In Language Description class, we had been watching Edward Scissors Hand movie.
It is an interesting movie. It is about a man that lives with hand that is made by scissors.
He lives alone in a big castle. His face was so ugly and full with scars. One day, a
woman came to the castle and found Edmund. She is so kind and brings Edward to her
house although se does not know him.
In the house, that woman treats Edward like her own family although her husband and
her children feel uncomfortable with Edward.
After all the neighbours know about Edward, they always go to that womans house and
met Edward so that Edward can cut their hair with various fashion and I feel so
samphaty towards Edward because its seems that Edward had been used by the
neighbours. But he does not say anything about it.
Based on this story, I leant that we need to be thankful and grateful with Allah s.w.t
because we had a perfect body with not as a handicap person.

WEEK 5
Last week we had been informed by Madam Fazlon that we will have a new lecturer
that will come in and teaches us Learning Support class. After hear that, we felt so sad
because our class already closes with Madam Fazlon but unfortunately, we can not do
anything about it. We also had been inforemed that the new lecturer will start to teach
us this week. Everyone felt so nervous about it. Finally, the times comes, the new
lecturer entered our class and introduced herself as Madam Fauziaj Binti Hj Abdul
Rashid. She also talked about her background and she also tpld us that she was once a
student of IPGKPM. We were so glad to know her.
After that, we continued our class as usual. For this week topic, it almost same with last
week topic. It is about identifying learner study habits in the contents of strength and
weaknesses. For example, as a visual learner, I have a good memory in remembering
picture or anything that involves with pictures but besides that, I am also weak in
remembering instructions that had been given me in verbal.
As a conclusion, I need to improve myself and try to overcome my weaknesses so that I
can become a better learner next time.

WEEK 6
For this week class, we had learned about the design strategies targeting at learning
goals. After we knew about our own learning styles, next, we had learned about the
design learning strategies.
Actually, the topics that we learned still the same topic that we learned last week. After
knew what our learning styles, we learned about the design learning strategies.
Some of the learning strategies are one sure-fire way to become a more effective
learner is to simply keep learning. When we stopped practicing our new skill or when we
learn a new topic, it is important to keep practicing what we had learnt in order to
maintain the gains that we have achieved. This "use-it-or-lose-it" phenomenon involves
a brain process known as "pruning." Certain pathways in the brain are maintained, while
other are eliminated. If you want the new information you just learned to stay put, keep
practicing and rehearsing it.
Next, we also need to focus on learning in more than one way. For example, instead of
learning only using auditory learning, we can find a way to review the information using
both of the verbal and visual. This might involve describing what we learned to a friend,
taking notes or drawing a mind map. By learning in more than one way, we can further
strengthening the knowledge in our mind.
Lastly, based on the studied that had been done, suggests that multitasking can actually
make learning less effective. The student will lost even more time as the tasks became

increasingly complex. When we switch from one activity to another, we will learn more
slowly so what we had learnt will become less efficient and make more errors.

WEEK 8
For this week, we had been introducing about academic reading text. Through this I
learnt how to detect or find the main idea, the supporting details of a text. Not only that,
we also learnt about different types of reading. This is important for us especially
students because we need to make sure when we want to do our work and need to find
an article, we will choose the correct types of articles.
Not only that, we also learnt about the process of reading. Skimming is used to quickly
identify the main ideas of a text. For example, when we read the newspaper, we
probably not reading it word-by-word, instead we are scanning the text. Skimming is
done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. We often skim when we
have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when we want to
see if an article may be of interest in our research.
After we skimming, next, we need to scanning the text. Scanning is a technique we
often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary. We use scanning
when we want to search for key words or ideas. In most cases, we know what we are
looking for, so we will concentrate on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves
moving our eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning
is also used when we first find a resource to determine whether it will answer our
questions. Once we have scanned the document, we might go back and skim it.
Usually, when I did scanning , I will look for the authors use of organ izers such as
numbers, letters, steps or the words, first, second or next. . I will also look at the margin.
This is because; sometimes the author will put key ideas also in the margin.

WEEK 9
For this week, as the continuous of last week topic, we had been given an article by
Madam Fauziah. As a task, we need to find the topic sentence and the supporting
details each paragraph. For this task, I tried my best to apply what I had learnt last week
which had made me easier to complete the task.
As what I had learnt last week, each paragraph has its own main idea which is the key
point of each paragraph. After I read the article, I tried to summarize it and find the main
idea and followed by supporting details for each of the paragraph of the article.
Usually, we can get the main idea at the first or second line. But, through this task, I had
learnt that, the main idea also can be at the last line of the paragraph. As a conclusion, I
am really glad that I had managed to full fill this task well.

WEEK 10
For this week, I had read an article entitle Growing a Healthy Baby. This article is about
how should a pregnant mother taking care of themselves.
Pregnant mother need to be very careful because pregnancy causes major changes in
their body, including their metabolism. So, they need to make sure to get the most
benefit from the calories and nutrients they eat healthy growth and normal development.
Firstly, they need to gain enough weight. This is a good sign that the nutritional needs of
the mother and their baby are being met and helps make sure their baby is also gaining
enough weight. Babies born too small are at risk for physical and mental problems.
Mothers who don not gain enough weight often have babies that are born too small.
Gaining less weight than their doctor recommends may affect theirbabys chances of
being healthy.For normal weight mothers, the recommended weight gain is three to fivepounds during the first 13 weeks, then about a pound a week from then on, for a total of
25 to 35 pounds. For overweight mothers, the recommended weight gain is about two
pounds during the first 13 weeks and about 2/3 of a pound per week from then on, for a
total of 15 to 25 pounds. Mothers under 52 should gain 18 to 30 pounds. Teen mothe rs
should gain 28 to 40 pounds. Mothers carrying twins should gain 35 to 45 pounds.
Secondly, fasting has been linked with preterm labor. Fasting causes the level of sugar
in the blood to drop, called hypoglycemia. The body makes up for this drop by releasing
fatty acids which can stimulate uterine contractions. Low sugar levels also cause the
release of stress hormones, which can lead to contractions. Also, fasting releases
ketones into your blood which can cross the placenta and be harmful to the baby. To
prevent low sugar levels, they need to eat several small meals every two to three hours.

WEEK 11
During the mid-sem break, I had read an article about The Importance of a Balanced
Diet for Pregnant Women. What is a balanced diet? Balanced diet is a proper balance
between the quality and quantity of the foods we eat. The quality of the foods we eat
affects the body building needs of our body. The quantity of foods we eat affects the
energy needs of our body. In order to keep this balance during pregnancy, the pregnant
mother must eat enough of the right foods to meet the body building and energy needs
for both her and her baby.
Firstly, they need to eat carbohydrates and fats. This is important for energy because
the body need to pump blood and carry extra weight of pregnancy. If the pregnant
woman does not eat enough carbohydrates and fats, body will use protein for energy
rather than building blood, tissue and placenta.
Secondly, they also should eat iron. They can eat foods that contain high vitamin c and
meat such as liver and spinach. Iron is need for making hemoglobin that carries oxygen
to the placenta and tissues. Lack of iron can cause low birth weight and problem during
the delivery. Not only that, the mother also will feel tired, increase the amount of stress
and lessen their ability to cope.
Lastly, they also need to take enough calcium and phosphorus. Example of calcium and
phosphorus are milk, yogurt and cheese. Calcium and phosphorus is used for making
bones, clotting bloods and contracting muscle. Function of calcium is form preventing
high blood pressure. It is needed during week 27 until 40 which when the baby growing
fastest and making bones and teeth. The best calcium and phosphorus food is non-fat
milk.

WEEK 12
This week, I had read an article about mammogram. A mammogram is a special breast
exam which projects the image of the inner breast tissues onto a film or a digital image.
This procedure, called mammography, helps to get a clear view of the structures inside
the breast. Even the very small tumors or cysts can be seen with a mammogram.
A mammogram functions is not only shows tumors, cysts and calcifications but also
cancer, which cannot be found on breast self-examination. Regularly, cancer can be felt
by self-examination or examination by our doctor once it becomes large enough. But,
with mammogram, it can detect the smallest cancers at a very early and often treatable
stage. To detect cancer in woman, screening mammogram is done if the cancer cell
could not be identified on breast self-examination or examination by the doctor. A
diagnostic mammogram is done to help confirm a diagnosis of cancer where a lump has
already been detected on self-examination or by a doctors exam.
Women who are healthy do not need a mammogram until age 40. Yet, certain women
are more likely to have breast cancer and should have a mammogram on a regular
basis along with the breast self-examination as well as doctors exam.

WEEK 13
If last week I read an article about mammogram which functions to detect cancer, for
this week, I had read an article entitle Breast Cancer: Stages and Treatment. Breast
cancer, is a common cancer in women. Breast cancer is a disease in which cancer cells
are found in the tissues of the breast. Each breast has 15 to 20 sections called lobes,
which have many smaller sections called lobules. The lobes and lobules are connected
by thin tubes called ducts. There are three common type of breast cancer. Firstly is
ductal cancer. It is found in the cells of the ducts and the second type is cancer that
begins in the lobes or lobules is called lobular carcinoma. Lobular carcinoma is more
often found in both breasts than other types of breast cancer. Thirdly, inflammatory
breast cancer. Inflammatory breast cancer is an uncommon type of breast cancer. In
this disease, the breast is warm, red, and swollen.
Breast cancer can be divided into four stages. At stage one, the cancer is no larger than
2 centimeters and has not spread outside the breast and at stage two, the cancer is no
larger than 2 centimeters but has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm , the cancer
is between 2 and 5 centimeters. The cancer may or may not have spread to the lymph
nodes under the arm or the cancer is larger than 5 centimeters but has not spread to
the lymph nodes under the arm. While at stage three, it is divided into two which is
stage three A, the cancer is smaller than 5 centimeters and has spread to the lymph
nodes under the arm, and the lymph nodes are attached to each other or to other
structures or the cancer is larger than 5 centimeters and has spread to the lymph nodes
under the arm. Stage three B is when the cancer has spread to tissues near the breast
or the cancer has spread to lymph nodes inside the chest wall along the breast bone.
For the last stage, the cancer has spread to other organs of the body, often to the
bones, lungs, liver, or brain or tumor has spread locally to the skin and lymph nodes
inside the neck, near the collarbone.

WEEK 14
I had read an article about How to Wash Your Hands Properly. I think this article is
good because hygiene is the number one thing we can do to stop the spread of germs.
Hand hygiene includes washing our hands with soap or applying gels. Staying healthy
can be as simple as washing our hands to reduce the number of germs present. But we
are not always near a sink and wonder if it is alright to use a hand sanitizer.
In order to prevent the spread of germs we should wash our hands often with soap and
warm water.
Firstly, we need to rub our hands together strongly; we should scrub all surfaces
including backs of hands, between fingers, under fingernails and wrists. In addition, we
also must wash our hands for at least 30 seconds in warm water and with soap. The
soap lather combined with the scrubbing helps remove germs. It is necessity for us to
pay special attention to our fingernails, between our fingers, and areas that look dirty.
Next, we need to keep our fingertips pointed toward the bottom of the sink, and your
hands lower than your elbows. This position is to allow the soap, water, and germs to
run down the drain instead of down our arms. In addition, we also had been advised not
to touch anything while washing our hands. Last but not least, rinse our hands well.

WEEK 15
This is the last week we learnt the subject. For this week, I had read about cold.
A cold is can be caused by viruses that infect the lining of the nose, sinuses, throat, and
lungs. This virus usually spreads from person to person when an infected person
coughs or sneezes germs into the air called droplet spread. Germs enter the blood
stream when the contaminated air is breathed in. Furthermore, by touching surfaces
that are dirty with respiratory droplets that contain the virus also will cause the germs
get on our hands. When the germs are on our hands, they get into our body when we
touch your face, eyes, nose or mouth. We can spread the germs to other people by
touching surfaces such as door knobs and telephones as soon as we are infected with
the virus. If we have a cold, try to avoid spreading the infection to others usually during
the early stages of the infection.
