SITI NUR ARIFAH MOHAMAD AZHAR Reflection on the Border-Crossing Activity When we were first told that we will be having an assignment that requires us to exchange our essays with students from China, I thought it was a unique and interesting activity to do since I've never done it before. But I can...

SITI NUR ARIFAH MOHAMAD AZHAR Revised Version Briefly, the movie And the Spring Comes tells about the hardships suffered by Wang Tsai Ling, a female vocal teacher with an impressive voice who dreams to become a famous opera singer and perform at the National Opera House in Beijing, who also had enc...

Hi Cheng Yihan and Wu Meijia, You both have no need to apologize at all and I wasn't intended to make both of you feeling down. I totally understand your struggles as I, myself am not an English native speaker too. As for that, I do realize the importance of proper use of terms so that the message(s...

Hello Cheng Yihan and Wu Meijia, I might have a different interpretation than both of you of the two films. Or perhaps I misunderstood the concept of sexism being applied in the movie And the Spring Comes. Thank you for pointing that out and I will definitely rewatch the movie to have a clearer sens...

Hey Zhu Ke, Yes, you are correct. My analysis mainly focusing on the different cultural phenomenons rather than specifying the main issue/problem occurred during those times. I'm glad that you've figured out my intentions :) I'm happy that you're interested in my opinion on the matter of having the ...

Hey Dou Miaomiao and Zhu Ke, Yes, I think that works. My suggestion is that you combine the 1st and 2nd paragraphs together, 4th and 5th, 7th and 8th, and yes the 9th, 10th and 11th together. I think this helps in showing the connections between the points you've made and the examples that you've pr...

Hello Dou Miaomiao and Zhu Ke, Thank you for both of your feedback. The points made throughout the whole essay was meant to describe my own observations and interpretations when I was watching both films. I guess I should've used a different term instead of significant. What I meant by that point wa...

Hi Cheng Yihan, Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for the misinterpretation of the ballet guy as gay. I guess the film did a good job of making me "conform" to society's idea of gay during those times. I will put that in mind while revising my essay letter. I do have a question that...

Hi Dou Miaomiao, You did a wonderful job on your analysis of the two films. I like how you bring the readers' attention to the idea of idealism versus realism and of having a choice versus not having a choice, which I find is a very strong theme presented in both films. Your essay structure is clear...

Hi Cheng Yihan, I think you did a good job of providing us with some historical backgrounds, which I find very helpful especially in giving a clear sense of how the norms were developed in society at the time. Though I do agree with Dou Miaomiao and Zhu Ke in regard to the conceptual use of seculari...
