In this project, we are required to complete this group project with our previous group which is a group with Phang June Ee, Tan Cang Weng, Yong Chang Theng, Tai Chia Chuan and Zachery. So, the project need us to find a site and start to analyse the site we have chosen. Analyse the site mean we have to do the plan of our site, biological attributes, opportunities and physical threats, physical attributes and so on. After that, we went to the site we have chosen everyweek, which is the area in front of Taylor's University lake. After we finish analyse it, our leader divided the work and we start working on our report. The pictures below shows our report of our site analysis. From this project, I have learned how to analysis the site and I understand that how important  for us to analysis the site before building something on it. Also, I have learned how to do a better research and I have improved my presentation skill during the group presentation in class.

Firstly, we had a group discussion and collected the newspapers and magazines so that we can find the articles or advertisements which related to the concepts that we had learned. After we had found the articles and advertisements, we applied the concepts into the articles and advertisements and combined all the works together into a full report. The report is not the only thing we had done, we also do the presentation slide for our group presentation. During the group presentation, my friends and I presented our work very well, and the students also asked some question about our articles. Even though we don't know what is our grade, but we have done our best to this assignment. In this assignments, I learned how to work together with my groupmates and how to perform a very good teamwork. Besides that, I have understand more about the concepts in social psychology.
