Academic Speaking: Review Sharing Session "Struggle to have an experience of going abroad" by Alfian Fajrin

    I had a very exciting class last week in the academic speaking course which was a Sharing session about Struggle to have an experience of going abroad. With the guest speaker Bro Alfian Fajri Nasrulloh, in the class he explained unique stories, difficulties, and strategies to solve these difficulties. His unique story is that he was once asked unique things such as how to overcome English that he already understood but could not reply to.


    However, it was not only fun experiences that he shared, he also experienced failures in achieving something, such as failing IELTS and IISMA and also not being able to exchange to USM because of his economic factors at that time. He also had difficulties during the exchange programme such as the language barrier. And he once experienced burnout because he was too imposing himself in other people's environment, fortunately he was able to overcome the burnout.


    The strategies he shared are also very easy to understand and the goal of his strategies is to achieve and master low mood to make dreams come true. The audience was also taught to analyse using the SWOT (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threads) method. What are the strengths, weaknesses, advantages, and threats that exist within the audience. He also motivated the audience by writing down the audience's desire to go to study in the country they want.
