Thanks a lot to Madam Halizah Binti Omar, my class teacher in Foundation BI set 14 because she always help me to improve my English wetheir in my class or out of my class.She always create a interesting activities to make my class always life and interesting.
About my English skill and performance, I’ll desperate between before and after I take Foundation English class.

Before
Since Primary school until secondary school about 11 years I was learned English, but my English still not good.I can’t speak English and fearful to speak English.I always feel like that.It’s happen until I further my studies at UKM. I met many people from many descent like Arabian, Syirian, American, Pakistan and another country.I always want to speak and talking with them to get a friendship, but I’m afraid because i’m not very well in English language.

After
Since 14 Mei 2007 my first class in Foundation English, I’m still afraid and fearfull.Because this is English class that whoever in this class must speak English.After 6 weeks learned English with my beloved teacher, Madam Halizah, I think my English was improved.Now I feel more assured to speak English and believe or not, now i have a friend from Pakistan.He studying in PHD in Curikulum at Faculty Of Education in UKM and I using English language while I talking with him. It’s meaning, my skill and performance in English much better than before.But it’s not mean i will stop my English learning, reading, speaking, writing but I must to get along with my English learning.It because I think, I can improve my English because in my English class, my teacher Madam Halizah always give me a ways to improve my English like reading, writing, listening, speaking.She always said, “read!!read more books…..and you must speak English and brave to make a mistake. Ho ho ho….”

About Module
All students whose take Foundation English was given Module Book ZH2014 as a guider in learning class and teachers used the same book too.In a module have a lot of activities and both of them are interesting like reading, vocabulary, speaking, and others.So that why I’m interested to learning English.At the same time my teacher Madam Halizah always make my class fun because she’s so funny.So that why my class both of us in my class always laugh we learning English with a good mood and happy.Amongst activities is like presentation, discussion, reading, speaking and acting to make a drama.
Both of activities that we do, can make me improve my English.

Assignment 2 : Individual Online Listening and Writing....(NATRAH)


Hello my close friend…have a nice day
Today I would like to share with you all about my experience…

Task 1

After a few day, I was try to log on and go to the section up to date Prof. David Crystal’s website. I see many topic on the left and I choose one topic. It is ‘in your dreams’. The topic is about dreams , it is being unrealistic, very optimistic and very hopeful. The topic is nice and sound is clear but I don’t understand what Prof David said about topic because he speak very fast and I not having time to write any new word. But, the tapescript was helped me. I listen again and see tapescript, and then I understand. However, there was three vocabulary which I can’t understand. It are :-

Circumstances
Muttering
Expectations

Task 2

After I listen one topic about ‘dream’, I choose another topic on the Learning English page. The topic is ‘Phat’. Phat means is pretty, hot and tempting. The phat difference with ‘fat’. Fat to people, animal and things. First time I listen, I can’t understand about topic because Prof. David Crystal speak very fast, the word is difficult and I can’t write any new vocabulary. But I don’t give up, I try to listen again and again and see tapescript, finally I understand about topic and yes…I got five new word, it are :-

Hip-hop slang
Tempting
Homophony
Ambiguous
Encounter

That all my experience about listening two topic in Prof. David Crystal’s Website. It is very interesting and important to me because I can learn about pronounciation, intonation and so on.

hangkebun @ am


Assalamualaikum to everybody. How with you all life? I hope everything is ok. Are you missing me? If you all missing me, don’t panic and please look at my pictures that been uploaded..hehe..

Today, I want to share with you all about my experiences. I think all of you already knows I become a liaison officer in “Muzakarah Imam-Imam Peringkat Kebangsaan 2007” programs. I had many experience when I joined this programs. For examples I had visited “eyes on Malaysia” and I very enjoy because this is first time and it is free. Before that, we went to KLCC and taken to floor 42 to cross flyover of KLCC. I think this is very special experience because is not easy to get this chance.

In this program, I can socialize with any imam around the Malaysia and I can talk to them and they entertain us very well. They also always smile to me and my friends. For you all information, about 3 thousand imam was joined this program. You all can imagine how we manage the entire imam at the same time when they need a bus to go somewhere. This is very difficult because we must manage the imam so that orderly and goes well.

To go somewhere, we convoy about 62 buses and you can imagine it. But we had managed by traffic police so that our convoy goes well. I think this is amazing experiences because we are like a king you know. This trip very hard and sometimes we got problems but overall is good. But one accident was happened when one of the traffic police accident and broken his feet. We are very sad about it but this is God certainty.

At the end of the program I feel sad because I think like loss of something and 5 days is very short. But the good thing is I not busy again and can concentrate with my class.

Enough for my experience and I want continue about my class drama. Everybody already knows we had prepared our drama but not complete again and in progress. One thing is I very proud because all of you given fully cooperation and willing to spend your time for this drama. I very appreciate it my friends. To Pn Halizah you are super duper power because your spirit makes us to struggle more and maybe be a winner. InsyaAllah.

Lastly I hope all my friends happy always and good luck for your examination next week.

ASSIGNMENT 1: Self - Assessment essay...(NATRAH)


Assigment 1 : Self – Assessment Essay

Assalamualaikum…….
Hello my friends…
I hope all of you have a nice time and enjoy with this class.
Here I would like to talk about my self – assessment in foundation english class refer to activity which carry out in the class. Refer to course schedule, many activities such as reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocabulary and participating discussions. It is very interesting and I learn with funny and enjoy. Besides that, I get many knowledge, experience and more information about the English language.

In the reading activity, I get great experience and more information. In the class I was read short story and passage. I learned new thing from it. I get new enthusiasm and brave to try reading English in front of my friend. Besides that, I was read penguin readers books. It is very interesting. From it, I think that English language is not difficult.

In the writing activity, I learn how to write summary and how to write English passage very well. In this class, I learn about grammar and it help me to write something in English language very well. Sometimes, I feel it is so difficult to understand, but I think I must give attention and think positively if I want to improve my English.

In the class, I was listened a English song, the title is flying without wings and right here waiting, and I try to sing, it is very interesting and nice. Besides that, I was listened online listening (prof. David Crystal’s website). I learned many thing such as pronounciation, new word and intonation.

In the speaking activity, I’m believe it can improve my English. Before this I afraid to speak English because my English is not very well. But now I can speak English even little bit and I must speak and speak very much and along time if I want to speak English very well. Besides that, making presentations and participating discussions can help me to improve my English because it encourage me to speak English.

In the reading and listening activities, I get many new vocabulary and new word. Before this I have a little bit vocabulary, thereby I can’t write and speak English really good. But this activities in this class was changed me.

Many activities was curry out in this class such as making presentations, radio show, facial expression and so on. I like it because its make me smile, fun and enjoy learning English.

I want to share with u all my bad experience before i go to the cc to write down the task...

Today is rainy day so I went to cc with Ella late evening.And I don't expected today I met the MONKEY!A very BIG monkey...hahaha (^_^) And U know,Ella always laught at me... she"s bad girl u know... haha

TASK 2 (YaT)

I choose another one topic on LEARNING ENGLISH and do the same like task 1.
This time I listen to the topic, Thirty-Something.It has many meaning from this phrase
It is about age or adjective.This is more difficult than the topic that I've chosen.

This is the new words I've found in this topic:
Baby boom
Gloom

salam...(ASsignmeNT2)


Task1



1. (BLESS)


Salam...how are you...i hope all of you great yeah!!...first of all, i want to talk about prof.david crystal's on title "bless". when first time i heard about "bless" is not really clear. I can understand a little bit words. After that, i listen again to more understand. so, this is about explanation about using "bless" in English...Sometimes,"bless you" use after people sneeze.


beside that, it is also use for upset like when cat snuggle up to little chlid and then her finger is hurt, so it is call as "ah!bless!. Furthermore, ah!bless! also use when people or somebody talk with so harsh to the other person. When somebody try to do something,and not success, it is also can to speak ah!bless!..


2. (BLING)


The second topic that i heard is about "bling". When i heard about "bling", actually, it is describe to the diamonds,jewellery,clothing and accoutrements...I think, bling refers to the thing is so worth..At the same time in USA, hit-hop song by baby gangsters change bling to "bling,bling". so,it is no one bling but two bling but in the britain,usually speak bling without reduplication like"bling".

So,in my opinions.." bling" is refer to anything shiny and worth like a car even meal except a joke.


so,that's all for task 1...


TASK 1....(YaT)

I have heard the David Crystal and I chose one topic about In Your Dream.I had to listen many times before I can get what actually he talks about. It is because the sound not really clearly so I hhad to refer the tapescript.And actually I cannot understand what did he said because he talks so fast hahaha (^_^)

Below this I write down the new words that heard new one for me:
circumstances
reverie
muttering

saLam...


Do you still remember this song....


Flying Without Wings

Everybody's looking for that something

One thing that makes it all complete

You find it in the strangest placesPlaces

you never knew it could be

Some find it in the face their children

Some find it in their lovers eyes

Who can deny the joy it brings

When you find that special thing

You're flying without wings

Some find it in the sharing every morning

Some in their solitary lives

You findit in works of others

A simple line can make you laugh or cry

You find it in the deepest friendships

The kind you cherish all your life

And when you know how much that means

You've found that special thing

You're flying without wings

So impossible as they may seem

You've got to fight for every dream'

Cause who's to knowWhich one you

let goWould have made you complete

Well for me it's waking up beside you

To watch the sun rise on your face

To know that i can say i love you

At any given time or placeIt's little thing

that only i knowThose are things

that make you mineAnd it's like

flying without wings

'Cause you're my special thing

I'm flying without wings

You're the place my life begins

And you'll be where it ends

I'm flying without wings

And that's the joy you bring

I'm flying without wings


So,tHaTS all..tatatta

WELCOME TO NEW N WONDERFUL BLOG..

(*_*) Assalamualaikum.. my lovely teacher..Madam halizah and frenz.I truly hope u all became better than yesterday. i'm really SORRY because very late to submit my assigntment..I hope you not angry to me.

TASK 1

I had got something different experience for listening and reading about a short story.."IN YOUR DREAM" ."In your dream" meant someone is being unrealistic, very optimistic, very hopeful.It mixes two senses of the word 'dream':

1) what happens when you're asleep

2) the sense of day dream or reverie (it's a very general use).

>Actually, I can't listened very well about this story without read the tapescript first,it's so difficult because its used different slang and read too fast than us.

>Afterthat,i'm read the tapescript and at the same time i'm listened the video too, i knows what it's story about and got more new vocabulary information from this story. If you want to knows all of the story, you can log on the internet.In this websites,they have a lot of nice story and it's so very good for us.

VOCABULARY (check it out!!!)

1] reverie - a state of thinking about pleasant things (lamunan /angan-angan)

2] muttering - complaints that you express privately rather than openly ( bersungut/mengomel )

TASK 2

“BLING”

* It’s used to describe diamonds and jewellery and all kinds of showy clothing, accoutrements.

* It became nationally known in the USA when the someone of artist made a hit hip-hop song called 'Bling Bling' and it was more usually used without the reduplication.

* It’s also became symbolic character of the word - glistening light reflected by metal.

* There's a website, 'Think Bling!' defining it as 'anything shiny and worth a good amount of money'.

* But the word's takeover by the middle-classes has made it worthless to the rapping community.

>This story also used more new vocabulary and it’s easy to learned than the first story “ In your dream”.

> I ‘ve got more new information from this listening and tapescript.

> Although, I should listened the audio for a long times, i can try to learned something as soon as possible..Insya ALLAH..

VOCABULARY :

1) Accoutrements – pieces of equipment that you need for a particular activity.

2) Reduplication – to make a copy sth in order to form another of same kind

3) Glistening – to shine

4) Broaden – to become wider

Hopefully, we get a lot of new information n knowledges on this lesson.May ALLAH bless us =)

I always shaking when do the presentation and actually i'm shy to speak in front of audience but now, i think i felt a bit brave to speak and not shame either the sentence that i use is correct or not, like today, eventhough my heart was pounding, i can control myself when speak. Maybe one day i will be a good presenter and its important to me because in the future i must teach in english. Actually, i really enjoyed when do the longman because it can improve listening, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and reading. I'm always excited to do the longman,now i missed to do it again. I think my writing is not really good yet because more grammar that i need to cover it but it will became better, Insyaallah.


I think i liked all the activities that we done before especially game, radio show and acting. It is because i felt enjoyed, everyone happy and not so heavy to us. when we enjoy and happy, we also learn, so we do 2 works at one time. I'm really glad with my group,eventhough we start do our project late but we can finish our project at the time given.
