Reflection and Five Senses. Xinwei.

Reflection

Personally, I think that this activity is both interesting and educational. It's my first time participating in such an activity that involves all five senses intently. Using all five senses weren't difficult, but trying to pen down what you think you are experiencing was the obstacle that I faced. Through this activity, I think that I've learned to process my thoughts and convey it towards readers reading my essays effectively.

Five Senses

The flowers and plants stood elegantly in the soil, silent and unmoving – very much like the well-mannered ladies in the royal palaces from the olden times. This scene greeted me abruptly the moment I turned my back to this 'Chosen Place'. I can hear the constant preaching of the teacher inside this place, while the occasional laughter from the students disrupts the monotonous momentum speech of the teacher. Total silence can be felt sporadically too, like a learned man lost in his own world of deep thoughts. The fresh air serves as the border line between the inside of this 'Chosen Place' and the outside. You can almost smell the hungry desire of the students inside the room waiting and hoping for the lesson to end. The atmosphere was so dense that it makes breathing difficult. The rough surface texture of the red bricks below the window panels felt like the calloused palms of a man who does labour work for a long period of time. I swallowed my saliva outside this 'Chosen Place' and the bland taste of it soothes me at the thought that I'm not required to project my voice consistently like that teacher inside this place.

Where is this place?
