Today went for zoo CIP again, or I shall call it conservation ambassador training...
CA training consists of two trainings and we will be assessed on our speaking skills and animal knowledge, etc, and if we pass the test, we will be going for 6 sessions of tour guiding the visitors to raise awareness about conservation. Sounds fun, doesn't it?(ok doesn't sound fun actually, but it's really fun~)
I really enjoyed it sooooo much! At first I thought it was just some random CIP activities but after joining I find that it's really a enjoyful and meaningful experience to me~
Yesterday night I downloaded the notes online and was shocked to see the notes have 30 pages and I'm supposed to memorise them for the assessment today. Luckily chionging notes at night is a very common thing for me so it's not that tough after all. XD
Today we went through briefing in the morning and then we were tested in the afternoon. It's mainly on our speaking and presentation skills, cos they don't expect us to be experts in animals for just two trainings. Well, I did ok actually, though my command of language(especially english) and speaking skills aren't very good. There are many adults who are much more mature than me and can speak really well(well, just as adults do haha).
I presented on kangaroos and after the event ended, I really learned lots of things on animals cos I listened to everyone's presentation as well. Also, it's completely different when you present to public instead of your classmates, so it's a brand new experience for me~
One more thing great about this event is that we can make lots of friends and everyone is quite friendly to me, mainly because they're all quite mature, unlike me... and I really feel like a kid there lol...
However, there are a group of boys from a sch which shall not be named(*ahem* a very 'independent' school) They seem to be playing a fool as compared to the others and I heard they all failed the test in the end. Haiz can't blame them actually cos if I went there with my classmates we/they would be playing a fool too, but when all your peers are so mature, you are forced to behave maturely.
