HIP: Learn A Word A Day CONVENT TELUK INTAN

Well, hear me out. I genuinely feel that many students nowadays struggle with vocabulary, and that makes it harder for them to express their ideas in writing. Sometimes, they have the ideas, but they just don't have the right words to put them into sentences. So, I thought of creating something simple and visual to help them pick up new words, understand their meanings and hopefully start using them in their writing. Just sharing, and I hope it helps! Happy Holidays all! ✨ p/s: Perak people, yeay! Tomorrow cuti! Alright, see you guys after the break!
