classmates but my friends in my blocks who teach me a lots to finish this assignment.

Firstly, I have prepare early to buy the ink for my printer. I regret of using
others’ printer because its burden me as its charges highly. For sure my money
would fly away for nothing because I already have the printer but not using it. But,
earlier is better.

From this assignment, it gains me more knowledge especially about

historical places as I’ve choosen this topic as my essay. When I just got this
assignment,I’m very happy because the topics that are given to us actually are not
too tough because they were about our current issue and for surely,I’m glad for that
things!

By doing some researches about this topic,I know many new things and useful
informations that quite attract me to go to Kedah compare to this before.

By choosing Kedah,I can easily get many informations about it from internet
especially. I may get to know about Gunung Jerai,Makam Mahsuri,and Menara Alor
Star.

I realize that my obstacles are not burdening me a lot. If we aim of finishing it

earlier, and using our effort, our aim is surely completely finished.

Then, Thank you.
