ASSIGMENT 2 :INDIVIDUAL ONLINE

We see again….

Now, I want to share about my listening experience in the website Prof David Crystal. In my opinion, this website is very good especially for a student who can get knowledge and new vocabulary with it.

For my task 1, I have chosen the title ‘Cell’. Before that, I have a bit confius to choose which one the best title because there, in section David Crystal, has many title which can we chosen. I decided to chose the title “Cell’. It is because, I interested with the picture that it is shown.

‘Cell’ is a mobile phone technology. It is shortened words came from cellular phone. After I was listening and reading it, the passage is very easy to understand. It is not complicated. But, there also has one or more new vocabulary that I do not know what the meaning is and do not guess too.They are monastery and synchronise. So difficult to pronounce and moreover to understand.

Meanwhile, for my task 2, I have chosen ‘Bless’ for the title. This passage is quite to understand and suitable for the student like me. This is because, this title has more new vocabulary. That is mean, many vocabulary did not I know what the meaning is.

The new vocabulary that I got is distinctive, indulgent, harsh and snuggling up. I must remember their meaning. Prof. David’s story is a very interesting and short. I do not spent much time to read them.

Actually, my reading is better than my listening. I have to listen always for news in English, watching television in English movie for example, to more improve my listening.
Faithfully,

ASSIGMENT 1:WRITING A SELF-ASSESSMENT ESSAY

Assalamu’alaikum for all of you……..

I am Nur Asiah. Abdul Ghani’s daughter. Have you still remembered me??

First of all, I apologize because I am late to write this assignment in this blog. Hope you all and especially Madam Nuretna to forgive me for all my mistakes since I was studied with you, teacher..
In this short sem, we have studied the Foundation English. Our teacher is Madam Nuretna Asurah Ahmad. She is caring, kindly, very punctual, an intelligent person..that’s why she is teaching us…and sometimes, she is amusing too.
Here, I would like to write about my achievements in learning English throughout this semester. The whole of achievement including reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocabulary, making presentations and participating discussions.
The opportunity for using and learning English is very limited. Especially for our faculty, that is Faculty of Islamic Studies. I do converse in English with some of my friends, but only with a few of them. This is because most of the others cannot converse in English.
I am very interested to learning English. And also like for whatever activities that teacher do in our class. For example, A Romantic Meeting, Where In The World Am I?, the song; Flying Without Wings, How To Make A Food Or Drink etc.
Firstly, my achievement in reading is better than before. This is because, sometimes I read the New Straits Times and The Star’s paper. Sometimes, I read any article in English that can improve my reading well. At the same time, ‘Heidi’ is a our reading book where is a part of syllabus in this English that give us around 10% marks. Too much, I think.
Now, we will share about my achievement in writing. I like writing, but I do not do that always, for my own homework. Certain activities in our class need us to writing for a task, summary etc. I always give and share about my opinion and my idea with our group discussions when we have discussed. Actually, my writing depends on how many writing did I do throughout this semester and before this…. J
Thirdly, I want to mention about my listening. My listening in English is better than before too. I can catch up and easy to understand when our teacher talked about something. The important is while the teacher is teaching. It is also helped by the Longman’s exercises did I do in PTSL’s cyber. I am also prefer watching television programme in English like English’s movie, cartoons; Aladdin and others.
Next, we see about my achievement in speaking. I like to speak in English even has a little of broken. This is because, we have to brave and confident to speak in English with our friends who can speak with us. Learn from mistakes. With this broken pronounce for example, we can improve our speaking better than before…sometimes, I tried to speak in English with our teacher…,but. I am shy..he..he..but in messages, I can do that…so nonsense.
Since I was studying for one months ago, I got a lot of new vocabulary. It is amazing right?.. Although, I always late to come to the class… I am not a good student..but I will try to change my bad habit like this for my future classes…God willing!!
Actually, I prefer to ask teacher or my friends about new words or vocabulary than refer to the dictionary when I fought them. However, I know…if I often refer to the dictionary for all new vocabulary, they can help me to more remember what is the meaning of them…am I right?? What do you think??
While I making the presentations, I tried do the best…but sometimes, I also nervous. Actually, it is depends on my preparations before I make the presentations. If my preparation is good and the task has done or completed, I can make and perform it with more confident and brave in front of our friends. We were taught to speak as a public speakers…confident, personality, methods of making presentations etc by the teacher.
Finally, I will write about participating discussions. I enjoyed with it. This is because, we already have one discussion group respectively. And our group is Dolphin’s Group who has a five girls and only one boy. His name is Yusuf. When we requested to make the writing or summary, we do together…share any opinion, idea, and anything that can help our task. That is mean, we work hard and full with cooperation.
Now, I want to break my writing..it is too long, right?? Never mind. Thanks a lot my friends..set 24 always in my mind. I never forget you. Lastly, for teacher, I am so sorry for all my mistakes did I do either I knew or not. Thank you very much. I will miss you after this. May Allah bless you always.

assigment 1........=)

Assalamualaikum…

Hello to my dearest teacher and my entire friend. My name is Nur Amalina Bt. Abdullah from Kelantan want to share with all of you about my experience enjoy foundation English. I join set 24 and our teacher, Madam Nuretna is very kind and helps me to improve my English. Before I join this class, I feel this subject is very difficult and bored to learn but after I join this class, I feel English subject is easy and interesting to learn but you must enjoy and study hard to expert in English.

In our class, I like to join activities by group. My group is Dolphin…=). I love my team group very much. In my group, I like discuss and present about our zoo. We are choosing and present about Kuala Krai Zoo. In our zoo, we can see animal like camel, monkey, elephant, snake and others. They were very funny because our team group can’t draw very well like monkey. I draw the monkey and its look like the cat. Hi,hi,hi…=).
On the other hands, we also discuss and present about “How To Make Lava”. In the class, our teacher asks us to present our favorite food and we were chosen “Lava”. Lava is one of Kelantanese famous food especially in Kampung Sungai, Bachok…( Siti Khadijah’s village)…hi,hi,hi…=).

In my opinions, activities by group can improve us to more confident and speaking in front of the audience very well. Beside that, foundation English can improve my reading and writing. Before that, I can’t speak fluently and very difficult to understand everything in English such as newspaper, magazine and others but after I join this class, I got more knowledge like grammar, vocabulary and I can write and reading very well and now, I’m always reading English version newspaper.

ASSIGMENT 2 : task 1


In first task for listening, I chose ‘not’ as my topic. I wonder that this task was very challenging especially for me. Most of the topics are very difficult to understand if we did not listen to the recording carefully. During listening the recording by Prof. David Crystal for the first time, I cannot understand what exactly the topic talk about. After listen it for many times, finally I can catch up what Prof. David Crystal trying to say.The topic is about the usage of word ‘not’ which shows negative meaning. It is an unusual usage that we can putting the word ‘not’ at the end, instead of in the middle. There are some new word that I can found in this text such as negate which bring meaning deny existing of something.

ASSIGNMENT 2 : Individual Online Listening and Writing (Maziah)

Hello….

1. confronted: challange

2. profound absence: great want

3. mechanics of the story: workings of the plot

Beside that, I was learned how to pronouns the right pronountion and grammar. Lastly to all my friend and Madam Nuretna thank you so much for give co-operation in class and hope our set can more closer and make relationship forever.. Take care, see you again.......

Bye2..

Task 2

Assalamu'alaikum to all my friends and my lovely teacher.I'm Syafiah from rafflessia Group want to share my experience from BBC Learning English.I chose 'Wuss' on my title for the task 2.I got a new knowledge and information from this section,but I was still a little knowledge for understanding the meaning.I need read repeat again to understand the meaning overall.Beside that,the picture in the text can help me to explain detail and to understand clearly.The word i fell is very difficult to find is "Wuss","Pussy",and "Wimp".The language is used also very fluent and difficult to follow it.Lastly, I hope i can read and listen very well after this....That all from me and thank you..

assignment 2: task 1& 2 by nyssa-

Today, I log on to the website http:/www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish and I go to the section UP TO DATE or type DAVID CRYSTAL. Inside the website more about how to keep your English. First time I log on the website many topic can i choose and listen all topic. First I listen I can’t understand, but when I listen more times I understand. Many topic the website, but one topic I like make me interesting to listen is a topic “ In your dreams”. Then I listen to Prof. David Crystal’s recording as many times. Then I read the tapescript about “in you dream”. I think every one have a dream or every one have a dream to get something to be successful. Do you know what meaning is the dream, may I explain what the dream. Dream is a series of events or picture which happen in your mind while you as asleep. It meant someone is being unrealistic, very optimistic, very hopeful any circumstances in which expectations are raised in you dream. I believe every one had a dream when you sleep. But dream not just a when you sleep. Dream will come true when you believe that something you do. I have a dream. My dream one day like to be a good person and hope my ambition will come true one day. I think you all have a dream like me. If you don’t have dream, make you dream now.
This topic I learn new word like example Circumstances is mean usually the facts and events that affect what happens in a particular situation. Then the new word I know is mutter is a mean to speak in a low, quiet and often angry voice that is difficult to hear.
Thats all my opinion about listening Prof. David Crystal’s. I think good to log on the website, because this can help me to improve my listening and know that skill to be good listening. Thank you.


TASK 2

Now, I want to give opinion on the online listening about another topic I choose in website www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningengliah and I take this topic is a “Get a life”. Life, life, life.. I know that you know what is life. Life is a mean the quality that people, animals or plants have when they are not dead. We should grateful to Allah because give to chance to life until now. We can make life to be happy, enjoy, sad, empty and whatever we feel when we life. Life must be happy because when you make life happy you can enjoy you self. If you feel life is like leading an unfulfilling existence, your life is empty, dull, there’s more to life than what you’re doing, start living. It can be serious, but its usually jocular. It can be used for instance to a workaholic, or for anybody watching a particular soap, shall we say. That person might be told to get a life. Don’t make you life is boring. Get a life to you self, enjoy whatever you doing. Do that something you happy what are you doing and don’t forced you self to do if you don’t like to do. Don’t take thing too seriously! Chill out! And get a life.
This topic i learn the new word, is likely

derogatory – negative and critical
unfulfilling – not satisfying
jocular – light-hearted
soap – a TV drama series
chill out – relax ; take it easy
obsession – something you can’t stop thinking about a doing

Thats all for my opinion and listening experience....Thank you.....

thanx a lot madam nuretna.....by nyssa-

Good morning to my lecture madam nuretna and all my friendly classmates. Today i would like to tell you about my achievement in Foundation English Lesson as well as reading, writting, listening,speaking,vocabulary, making presentation and participating discussion.

In the reading section, i have improved my reading because of the listening activities that have been done in the class and Longman Online English. It helps me to understand the difference of American and U.K english pronunciation. Now, i can read a lot of books by using standard english pronunciation.

For the writting part, i found that writting is the most difficult for me to improve my writting skills. It is because i need to know a lot of English vocabulary in order to write an article. So, i only can say that there aren't improvement in my writting.

In listening, i have learn it by two ways. First is listening to my lecturer in the class and the second one is using Longman English Online Listening. The benefits that i get are helped me to become a good listener and learn a lot of pronunciation words betwwen U.S and U.K . It means that my performance in listening is quite good than before and i need to do some improvement for it.

In our class, speaking is the one of the problems that faced by students especially Malay students. Many of them are afraid to English because they think that is difficult to do it. In my opinion, i think that English is one of the language that can help us to do well . I usually speak English with my lecturer despite i am weak in this language. For me, it is also a way to help me to learn and improve my skills. I am sastify with speaking in English.

For vocabulary section, i found that i had learn too much new words either it is for academic use or the future. It encourage me to find out the meaning of these words and try to use them in my life. Vocabulary is the most important key that can help us to write essay or story.

When i doing my presentation, i realize that my communication skill is being improved a lot. It will be very useful for me in the future. I think it was a best performance that i never achieve in my life. For participating discussion, i take part in this section because my lecturer,madam nuretna give emphasis on this part.

After review my achievement in Foundation English class, i have found that listening, speaking and making presentation is the parts that i like a lot and give more attention for them. However, i have to do some improvement for the weakness part as well as vocabulary, reading and writting sections. Without Foundation English lesson, i can say that English is the most difficult subject for me to improve it. Thanks. luv u teacher...i'm appreciate it!

Task 2

Hello.........! to all my friend and to my lovely teacher. I'm Fadhilah again. In my task 2 i chose 'wicked' as my topic.Firstly when i listen this topic without see tapescript i cannot understand overall about this topic but when i see tapescript and i read and read again i understand this topic.

In this topic, i found the new vocabulary and i would like to share with you all:

splendid = very good
squeezed = to force something into or through a small space
merry = happy
distinction = a clear or important diffrence things or
people.
ambiguous =having more than one possible meaning
youngsters = young person

Before i read this topic, i thought that word wicked only means cruel but now i knew that this word not only means cruel. In my opinion, i enjoy read this topic because i got a new experience and knowledge.I also hope that the new vocabulary i found in this topic can help my friends to understand this topic. Thats all......... for this time.Thank you..........

Assalamualaikum......to my beloved teacher and all my friends. I'm Nurmasliana binti Ismail A 112299. I'm very happy with english foundation class because along with this class, i can improve my reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocabulary exspecially making presentations skill. Here i also can know more about grammar because my teacher teach me one bye one from the basic. I also improve that grammar with Longman Programme at Perpustakaan Tun Sri Lanang (PTSL).

Making presentations make me so nervous. But i have to agree that skill is the one of the part to make someone have a good communication in front of audience. I'm still remember went i present my zoo in front of you all, although my face not look nervous..huhuhu..that's what my friend say but i'm very nervous thats time.

The most activity i like is scramble eggs. that's activity make my group tropica enjoy it. This activity can train my brain to focus to do something important. Recently, i also like singing activity like Flying Without Wings by Westlife and Right Here Waiting by Richard Marx. This activity can make me understand what the theme's of the song. It also can improve my vocabulary. I'm very enjoy it....That's all for this time....see you again...wassalam.
