EE Reflection

Having engaged in a meeting with my EE supervisor, there are strengths and improvements that still need to be made to improve my EE. It was described to be a strong first draft that could already be submitted as a final. However, fundamental issues are still preventing me from obtaining a high grade. I need to conduct fundamental requirements such asĀ utilising better in-text citations to ensure I properly meet the guidelines of the Extended Essay.

My EE still requires an effective methodology that properly analyses the limitations of my research and still requires specific points made in my EE to be further elaborated to improve the overall analysis and evaluation of my current topic. I need to better mention how slash-and-burning is a common problem all around the world. However, only the most significant impacts have been caused by Indonesia, which is why I decided to focus on Indonesia More Global Political concepts are needed, like the concept of securitisation and how that relates to the issue of slash-and-burning in Indonesia, to further demonstrate my understanding of the subject.

Badminton First Few Lessons

In the first few badminton lessons, I have focused on my movement and my techniques in striking the shuttlecock. Although these skills may seem to only apply to just badminton, it has greatly benefited me in my personal life too. I have become more spacially aware of my surroundings and have seen an improvement in my fitness in general, aiding my frequent sessions at the gym. Hopefully, I will continue to learn new skills in badminton while improving my fitness to benefit my mental and physical well-being.

Cooking First Few Lessons

During my time cooking at MasterChef, I learnt how to make the following dishes:

  • Cupcakes
  • Cookies
  • Spanish Omelletes
  • Lemonade Scones

I have learnt more about the creaming method and how it is vital when attempting to make bakery goods or how roasting is one of the many ways you can cook meat. I have been able to utilise the skills I learn in MasterChef to cook for my family with wonderful deserts and dishes.

Badminton #1

I had my first badminton training session yesterday and learnt the following skills:

  1. Lobbing
  2. Striking

I’ve come to realise how difficult the sport truly is if you play it properly. Before, I would rely on my power and strength to hit the shuttlecock to the other side of the net. However, within the span of one training session, I learnt how much technique is required to play this sport. For next time, I want to improve on the following:

  1. My footwork to ensure better efficiency on the court,
  2. My lobbying to ensure more consistent striking before I move into more advanced techniques,
  3. My defensive plays to create more analytical gameplay rather than trying to hit the shuttlecock as hard as I can, increasing efficiency and more opportunities,
  4. To improve my aim to ensure I can make the opponent move from one place to another to tire them out faster than I tire myself out.
