On February 11,the zoom meeting about our course begins.This semester is likely to be the same as before because during Covid-19, students are still encouraged to use online learning methods

  At the beginning of the meeting, our lecturer explained about the use of syam ok in certain lessons,the use of this application is useful for students to get learning easily during the pandemic.

 During the meeting, I was hit by some problems like the previous semester. When I entered I couldn't understand some of the things that were explained because the sound was noisy and unclear maybe because of network problems or my device wasn't working properly.

  I heard about the 'contract' and the use of syam ok in some courses, I didn't understand what was being explained. I couldn't be silent and didn't know anything so, I asked in my class what is currently being discussed. it turns out there are some people also the one affected by the same problem as me.

it made me relieved, I thought I was the only problem. Finally I knew and understood the explanation given, the lecturer also gave an assignment in syam ok at the meeting. I opened the application and saw the assignment, as usual the task was quite difficult. write down all the conversations that are in the audio and summarize them, then the task also asks to find new vocabulary. my English is not good enough but more or less I understand what is being discussed, the problem is the conversation in the audio is too fluent I don't understand some of the words they say. Luckily my classmates and I help each other to do the task.hufft...I think I should try harder to learn English to complete future assignments.
