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.....
