Reflection
‘Reflection is an exploration and an explanation of events’（Queen Margaret University 2013:1）. It is an essential part of our study in this semester. Many experts indicated that study from feedback is an effective way to improve ourselves. OpenLearn, (2015) On the one hand, I received many feedbacks from my teachers. Theses feedbacks were about the PDP essay, which I got an unsatisfied grade. Writing references is the biggest problem for me because I often make mistakes of the format of Harvard referencing. For example, I often forgot to put the citation in the body part. In addition, the teacher also pointed that there were many grammar mistakes in my assignments. On the other hand, I also received informal feedback from the group presentation, which means teacher pointed many things I can improve more than just mistakes and these were not counted towards my final grades. Although I was nervous in front of the public during my presentation. My teacher said my pronunciation is very good, which improve my confidence to some extent.
These feedbacks have a benefit impact on my study. Learning how to use reference is a very important part for the rest of my study. It gave me a warning to do things carefully. Not only does it benefit my writing ability, but also influence my learning attitude. Furthermore, the mistakes on my essay also showed my carelessness. I did not spend enough time go through my work before I submitted it. I need to be more hard-working in the future.

Appendix1 safaashaaban, (2011) We use the Gibbs Reflective Cycle to proceed out group presentation. The first part called Description. When we got this task, teacher divided us into several groups and then we began to prepare the group presentation. Firstly, we distributed the relative task to each group member. Although my assigned part was a little bit difficult for me, I did my best to finish it because I didn’t want to slow my group down. In the group meetings, I noticed that everyone in the group was hard-working and did a good job. In addition, we practice many times before the final presentation. One thing impressed me a lot is that when we practiced our presentation one by one, Hasan, who is very good at presentation give me some valuable advices. Firstly, he said I need to speak louder and become more confident. Secondly, he said I need to try my best to be familiar, but not remember all the content which I have to present in front the examiner. I am still remember Hasan’s advice. The feedbacks from partners also helped me a lot. Finally, we did a good job in presentation. The teacher also pointed something that we can do better. For instance, we did not show all resources about our assignment to the examiner. In the past, we just think it is not as necessary as showing the result. As a result, the feedback from our teacher made me realized that the real evidence was important as well. It will make our result more credible. In the next assignment, I will remember these feedbacks and try my best to correct my shortcomings. Appendix2
