Why Learn English

Sunday, May 23, 2010

Back again ... ... ... ^^
Well, i want to continue my writing in this blog which is about 'Why Learn English'......... 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 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. 
1. Get access to knowledge
What are you interested in? Is it science? Music? Computers? Health? Business? Sports? Today's media — such as the Internet, television, and the press — give you almost unlimited access to knowledge about your favorite subjects. After all, we live in the information age, don't we? Most of this knowledge is in English. 
2. Communicate with people
We like to call English "the language of communication". Why? Because it seems all the people in the world have agreed to use English to talk to each other. 
3. Push your career forward
If you want a good job in business, technology, or science, get out of that armchair and start learning English now! (If you already have a good job, start learning before you lose it!)
Knowing English will let you gain technical knowledge.
4. Enjoy art like never before
5. English is easy to learn
6. Get satisfaction

So, probably those are the reasons why we learn English.....or may be you have your own reasons about it...^^

Tips for Memorizing Foreign Language Vocabulary

Well, i'm back...^^
Today, i would like to share some tips about how to memorize foreign language vocabulary. As we know that, we always feel frustrating when we want to memorize the vocabulary, don't we?  Learning the vocabulary is half the battle, which means improving your memory. But, no worries, i'll give you some unique tips that you can use.^^
1. Use Post-It Notes
One of the best ways to memorize foreign language vocabulary is to start with the objects you see and use every day. Grab your vocabulary textbook and a packet of Post-It notes and start sticking them on various objects in your home. The desk, a mirror, your refrigerator, a potted plant, the bed and everything else can serve as your study buddies. Just write the word in the foreign language on your Post-It and you'll see it each time you use or see that object. It won't feel like studying, but it will be far more effective.

2. Read Children's Books
Another great way to memorize foreign language vocabulary is by reading children's books. You can find them online or even in your local library written in multiple languages, and they use sufficiently simple vocabulary that you won't have trouble reading most of the words. When you run across a word you don't know or can't remember, have a foreign language dictionary handy to look it up.

3. Watch Foreign Films
Often, hearing words spoken in a foreign language will help you memorize vocabulary. Most film stores and rental shops have a foreign film section from which you can choose multiple titles. Take them home and watch them over and over again, looking for context clues to help you figure out what's being said. If you're trying to learn English, you can also watch the English channel on television.


4. Set Vocabulary to Music
The final unique way to memorize foreign language vocabulary is by setting it to music. Many children learn small foreign language phrases through songs, which means you can, too.

5. Pick A Techniques or Way of Studying
Some examples include using flash cards, make a dance out of it, make a song, relate the words to something you like, use acronyms, or a combination of the above.

6. Don't Forget to Have Fun with This
Don't make it boring!! Mix and match different things! 

Ok, i guess it works when you follow some tips above. Remember!! you can modify the tips and be creative guys.....^^. I'll continue to give other tips next time...

Well, today i'm going to share the information which is totally absolutely important for us as teens.....
But, before i start it.... i would like to say that i'm so happy that i can update this blog again,, hee....(not important, isn't it?????)

Back to the information,,,
Did you ever felt angry with someone or something that you didn't like?? if your answer is 'YES', you can follow some tips below that is probably can decrease your anger......

1. Try meditating
Do this every day to calm your nerves and you won't get so angry to begin with. Meditating calms the mind and helps you with your problems. You may be able to think more clearly too. Sometimes meditating can make you emotionless for the rest of the day. It removes a lot of stress and gives you a better outlook on the world.
 2. Try sleeping.
Sleep relaxes you and get rid of tension. It's so effective that you may end up waking without noticing you were angry. ( Believe or not!!! i had tried it and it works)
3. Clinch up your hand.
Don't make it in the shape of a fist; rather, try bending your fingers instead of your whole hand to release anger. If you put your hand into a fist, then you'll set yourself to hurt someone by punching them. That may get you into trouble. Some people get so mad that they sue and look at just how long that trouble will last!
4. Get active.
Instead of taking it out on people or yourself, take it out on your bike or exercising. Not only is it good for your anger outlet but it is also good for for health.
5. Take deep breaths.
It always calms nerves down. It is just a small meditation that releases a little stress at a time. It doesn't have as much effect as real meditation does but it does buy you calm-down time.

 Therefore, if you feel angry with someone or somebody, you can follow the tips above to decrease your anger. Actually, there are so many tips that you can follow.... don't depend on the tips above... Moreover, you can create the solution by yourself..... i'll continue my writing next time...><

Education Idiom

Friday, April 16, 2010


Well, today I want to share something useful for all of us who want to learn English. I am going to share about 'IDIOM'. Sometimes, we got a problem when someone speak with us use the idiom, don't we? Moreover, when we watch the movie, the movie stars also often use the idioms to express their feeling. 

As we know that 'Idiom' is an expression, word, or phrase that has a figurative meaning that is comprehended in regard to a common use of that expression that is separate from the literal meaning or definition of the words of which it is made. Moreover, an idiom is an expression, word, or phrase whose sense means something different from what the words literally imply. When a speaker uses an idiom, the listener might mistake its actual meaning, if he or she has not heard this figure of speech before.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiom)

So, how poor we are when we don't know or misunderstand with someone who speak with the use of idioms 

Now, it's the time to learn it.......!!!!! be happy guys..........

unforgettable experience

Wednesday, March 31, 2010

I got many experiences in my life in using the technology such internet. When i was in senior high school, i

wasn't interested in learning about internet or even just how to use the computer. I think that to learn about the computer is so complicated and difficult. So, i never did my own assignment. My friends always helped me in doing the assignment.><. Otherwise, when i study in university and i am separated with my friends who always helped me in doing the assignment of computer's subject. Then, i got the ICT's subject now. Do you know how i feel???. Moreover, this subject need the student itself to learn and discuss through the internet. Then, the other subject also require the students to submit the assignment through via e-mail. I NEED TO WORK HARD AGAIN!!!. I learn the internet gradually. Fortunately, i can use it even not to well. I never think that i can learn and use the internet now. I thank to everyone who help me in learning it. I got so many precious experiences in it. I have to aware that i MUST learn it because the technology enables me in searching the materials, submit the assignment, and discuss with people in the other part of the world about everything. Many information and entertainment that i can get from internet. It is so unforgettable experience in my life.
