Actually, i try my best to duel with this reading, i read this reading two weeks ago so i think i did a very well preparation. i summarized whole reading into 400 words, it is a bit hard so some ideas and concepts within the reading havent present in my presentation. Erotic triangle and gay window didnt cover in the present, so it gave a chance for us to discuss during tutorial. In fact, I am not sure with these concepts so I haven’t present in the presentation, so after tutor explain to us and I read the reading after presentation, these concepts are much more clear so after this presentation I know I need consult tutor and made sure all concept clear during presentation and everything can be analysis deepen.

ReplyDeleteI think it is common that people like to to exchange their gender in the game. It is because it would satisfy the want of most of them, to get the feeling how do they be if they are opposite gender.
