    Related to class today, I have learned about conditional clauses (1, 2, and 3). In the last semester, I have learned on this topic, but I cannot understand it clearly. This topic is divided into three, namely "first conditional", "second conditional", and "third conditional". In addition, Madam atee also discuss some of the '8 part of speech ' in today’s class. We are instructed by her to find a part of speech, and present it by next week class, because it is one of the essential knowledge to help us in making an essay writing. Further, Madam atee has also taught us about the "active voice" and "passive voice".  Active voice is a normal voice, while the passive voice is the subject of the received action verbs.

We train together before classes started, but we have been informed that today's class is cancelled, because Madam Atee takes an emergency leave. However, we are not allowed to return home, because today, we had a charity with students and staff of our college, to clean the college. We have been informed that the students, which together help the college to clean the area of our college, the students will be given the flexibility to hostel when they are less satisfactory results.

Furthermore, in my opinion, the cleaning operation runs, could foster cooperation between students and staff of our college.
