Some simple ways to improve our English......

I got a question from one of the GSF menbers, Miss Ayu. She Asked me:

Well, Sis, that is a very good question as I'm myself still in the process of improving myself!

So, hm, I can share with you all some of my tips in order to improve my English.

READ

Yes, reading is the key here. I realized that reading everything in English makes my English improve much better. Don't care whether it is just a signboard in the middle of the town or the advertisements, I will read as long as it is in English. This is same goes with web surfing as lots of website are in English. In spite of that, I really LOVE to read English novels, don't care what genre, romance, thriller crime and so on. I still remember when I was in primary school years, I read a romance novel and brings along my little "Oxford" dictionary every where just for the sake to understand what I read.  So according to http://www.malaysia-students.com, "Read anything and everything in English. You can read story books, newspapers, magazines, blogs, comics, English textbooks, instructions and ingredients on food packages, advertisements, etc. For story books, don’t force yourself to read something too difficult or something you know you won’t enjoy. Make reading fun! Read books that you ENJOY reading"

BLOGGING IN ENGLISH

Yes, dear, I'm blogging in English! This is one of my premier platform in improving my English writing skills. I blog anything that I want as long as in English. Motivation words is my first priority in blogging and try not to offend others in jotting down my ideas. I do agree that I'm not cool enough in grammar but I do try. I also  goes from one blog to the others in finding something new especially in English and coding. Well, HTML coding is in English! So, every day we are facing English but we don't realized it. I want to suggest one English blog that is by Mr Clive, his grammar and wording are awesome! 

SPEAKING AND SINGING

Hm, this one depend on the situation. I'm an English major and of course has to speak English when in class and studying. Sometimes, I tend to speak English to my friends and sometimes not. Alas from speaking, singing English song also help me a lot. Hm, set fire to the rain.....let's search for the lyric and analyze it......

PS: These all depend on yourself, if you have already stated that English is not fun and difficult, it will be but if you are positive towards it, InsyaAllah you will get it......

I leave it to Allah.....

I'm writing this while I'm wondering about my Ideology subject. I browsed around and I got this blog.  English learning is fun by one of my respected lecturers. I don't want to state his name here as I want to protect his privacy in the net. 
Well, I try to connect from what he taught us in this semester with my life. I do admire his teaching as in every class, he will asked us to recite a prayer before starting his class. He is a calm person.  In his last class, he taught us something from Steve Job's speeches. 
Yes, I'm a little bit disturbed as on the morning of his class, the point in the speeches is about death. Only Allah knows what I want to say here but I guess that I don't want to tell the public about something happened to our beloved juniors. 
Ya Allah, there's something that you want to tell us and I really want to know. Sir H, thank you for everything, thank you for reminding me about our creator every time I'm in his class. Ya Allah, I leave it all to you.....

Jawi : Malaysia heritage treasure!

Jawi, not everyone knows about this kind of writing. For Malay, it is a very unique heritage. I learned jawi during my primary years. How about you all? Look at this:

I guess that the older generation can read the writing but what about us, the younger generation? I want to show you all about this concerned Professor from Korea:

Then, Chairman of the Office of library and Information Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Dr Wan Ali Wan Mamat said that the government in Ministry of Education still use Jawi in one subject at primary and the high schools, however this is still not sufficient. Then, he said that the private parties also should do something in order to prevent the extinction of this writing, (http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2011&dt=0428&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Terkini&pg=bt_51.htm).

I really interested about this. Did you all know that "jawi" is one type of unique writing? I hope that government should do something about this such as do some CAMPAIGN in order to expose the public about this writing. Malaysia rich with lots of heritage and why do not us, the Malaysia do something in order to preserve it?


Last but not least, ويلچومي تو ماي بلوݢ....

PS: I realized that there are lots of jawi writing in the middle of Kuala Terengganu, did you all realized it?
