Why English...?
« on: 26 December 2010, 09:54:28 PM »
 ^-^ ^-^ hy All...
lets talk about why we learn english...

for example...
Learning to speak English well may be the best thing you can do to improve your life.

That's right. Do you think it would be fun to have access to information that other people can't get? Talk and write letters to interesting people that others can't communicate with? Impress people around you whenever you opened your mouth? Make big jumps in your career, leaving others miles behind?

You can get all this if you speak English well.

And 4th,rely on the essence of your pure Wisdom Mind, not on judgmental perceptions

Sis Rina, I got interested with English since my childhood. At that time, my father was under the guidance of Germany government. I was really impressed by my father's mentors. They spoke really different. We could not understand. We only understood their words through translator. After then, I used to imitating their conversation. Without knowing what I uttered, I just uttered anything coming to my mind. Honestly, I do not remember any single words that those people uttered and my words too. Now I already speak in English for about seven years, yet my vocabularies are still too poor. Why do I speak in English? Why do I learn English? I speak in English because I want to improve my English. I do hope that I can speak English fluently, of course much better than now. I learn English because I have to read books written in English. Beside that, I study in English medium. I also want to encourage my fellows to learn English. If we are able to speak or read and write in English, we would be able to learn something more, we can communicate with foreigners easily.

hmm.. if me...
(exclude study English at school)
I learned English when i was elementary school, my friends are joining an English course, and the first time i heard about that, i'm not interested at all but i keep joining coz i love to have more friends, day by day my friends leave this place and i keep study, for 5 years... heheh..quite long time right? but i got nothing at all... (now is still nothing sih..but better than before lar...hahaha) then i study in a course which the teacher is a native, i got more these day...listening well than before but my composition and grammar is still so bad...

then my friend ask me to become a teacher, i study hard at that time...so i can give a good material to my student...

then i stop teaching and working in an english course where there are so many "bulek" and i can practice listening and speaking, but to admit my writing is still not good...haha..

what about you guys...

I am also lazy in writing and reading. I read and write only if I have to do assignment. If not, I have no reason to read and write.

Just cannot help myself not to laugh when I read your comment. It is really funny. Anyhow, just do not stop to learn English. Whatever the mistake you make in learning English, it is a normal thing in the study. You might not believe, when I was still in the Secondary high school, I got grade 0 as my homework all were wrong, not even a single sentence I did was correct. But, I never did not give up. I learned again and again until now I can speak English though not really well.

Karena inggris sangat penting
Dan sudah merupakan bahasa internasional..
Apapun yang sedan kamu lakukan, lakukanlah dengan sepenuh hati. Sebab apapun yang sedang kamu lakukan sekarang, itulah yang akan menentukan masa depanmu. Kita hidup untuk hari ini, bukan dari masa lalu dan bukan untuk masa depan..
