4 September 2012 : My Speaking Test!




            Assalamualaikum.. Alhamdulillah we still can breath today. :)



            Okay, today I want to update my current activity for Bel 311 class. Today my group consist of Meera, Aten & Ameer is the first group for the speaking test. We come early this evening because we want to prepare ourself and share the opinion and knowledge all about speaking test. We also tried to remember feeling expression (paper that Miss Zu gave on 9 August)..

            Besides that, we also discuss about the flow of our discussion before Miss Zu entered the class.. Plus, we tried to remember what Miss Zu has said in yesterday class. 




           Next, let's talk about the speaking test. "Discuss way(s) to curb the trafficking men, women, child in Malaysia". I only remember that thing. hi2...  We start our discussion today with informal conversation as what Miss Zu advice us to do. Next, we continue with general statement based on our topic and then we talk about the factor of that problem to occur. After that, we start to argue about our point. I think, in this section all of my members did a great job except for me. :(  

            I love to see Meera, Aten, & Ameer personally give their opinion with an example that make me easily to understand it and convinced me. Besides that, I like Ameer makes an personal experience spontaneous when Meera asked him about his opinion. Everyone agree that government should play their important role in order to curb trafficking women, men & children to Malaysia. Besides that, other organisation or individual also should give cooperation to the government to since we stay together in Malaysia! Btw, Happy 55th National Day! The community or citizen have more big impact if they give their useful information to the government about trafficking activity that occurs around them. Then, policeman or Kastam can ambush the 'hot place' that this activity happen. 






             Stand up & let's sing it together! (same like when we are in secondary school)  :)

3 September 2012 : Practice Speaking Test

Hey dude! what are you doing right know?? Updating the blog hah??

       Okay, as we know it is Syida, Malis, Durrah & Megat form Group 2 turn to practice. I think all of them did great. All the point given is relevant and excellent. It is great even though they are not prepared. Sorry if I'm wrong.. :(

        This is the question : "Malaysians are generally not punctual, and this bad habit is often seen when they attend formal functions. However, punctuality is a good habit that should be cultivated. Discuss ways Malaysians can overcome this problem of being habitually late. Decide on one or more effective way(s) to do this. Give reasons for your choice(s)."

      Syida points are:

  •   value the time 
  •   change your attitude/ cultural
  •   set reminder at least one week before the event   
         *I only remember this point.

                                               Durrah point of view are:
  •  campign
  •  janji di tepati
  •  have a diary

     






   Malis think that :
  •  should set the alarm   

                                         Megat argue that :
  •  set the reminder  
  • don't eat much








          * sorry if I'm wrong. I don't remember....






         * to be honest, I really afraid for my speaking test the next day because Syida's group hade present a lot of point but yet there is still many more time left! How hard it is.. :(  But I like their point.. :)

2 August 2012 : Search for Main Ideas

      How to find main ideas in a full essay paragraph by paragraph.. If I am not mistaken, this activities also included in our final paper. That's why Miss Zu taught it to us today..

      Usually, in an essay, there might have neither direct main ideas nor indirect main ideas or we called it as .implied main idea..


       In order to finding the main idea of a paragraph, you have to identified the author's purpose or understanding vocab words in the context is one of the reading skills you need to master. Besides that, you also can summarize the passage and look for repetition of ideas. When you want to summarize a passage you must ignore the supporting details and examples.


         Here, I provide an exercise for you to practice it and the answer too.. :)
