The document discusses learning reflections on table tennis. The author initially thought table tennis involved a large racket but learned it is different than what they originally imagined. They struggled with patience and skills like forehand drives when playing. The most important lesson was learning by doing and applying what was learned in practice.

1. LEARNING REFLECTION
When you heard table tennis what comes to your
mind? Well when the first time I heard it I thought it
is like the table tennis who are using a big racket.
But when our prof of elementary this us this I realized
that both of them are difference to each other.
Table tennis are not so familiar to the other people
because not of them are enjoying playing table
tennis. If you observe in our surroundings they mostly
play badminton than table tennis. By that you can
understand from the action of the other people that
they most likely playing badminton than table tennis.
In this subject I learned that in order to play a table
tennis you must have patience in playing of this. I
understand also that through the forehand drive
their should be used when you opponent gives you a
deep or high ball. I remember the days that I played
table tennis because mostly of my cousins are
players in table tennis, but a while a go playing of
this I lost my patience because it is ready hard for
me do this kind of playing. That is why I cant imagine
myself again playing table tennis when we do an
practical test. I have many things that I've learned in
this subject but the most important part of me is
learning by doing in action because through that
you can apply of what you've learned.
