Selamat Hari Merdeka

Today we celebrate our country’s independence day !!! And I’m sure each and everyone of us are proud of that very amazing day. Again I wish Happy Birthday to Malaysia. Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!. 31 august 1957, that day was the very reason why we are here today, under one beautiful flag. I think most of us, when came Merdeka Day, will recall the picture of laungan merdeka,  on the 31st August 1957 at Dataran Merdeka by Tunku Abbul Rahman. A very historical moment. With the fast changing world today, I think its also appropriate to extend our imagination and coupled the picture of the past merdeka in our minds with the picture of  merdeka day in the future. Now, not so easy to imagine, isn’t it?

I believe, by doing so, it will make us think what we want our country to look like in the future, thus giving us a clear picture of where we are heading. See, by only thinking about the past, we are proud of those heroes that fought for our merdeka and it stops just there. But by also thinking of  what will our country look like in the future for Merdeka Day, you’ll realize that each and everyone of us have the responsibility not to just enjoy the merdeka that our past heroes fought for, but to maintain the merdeka and further develop our nation, together.

Moreover,the ways that we celebrate this remarkable day is by fly the flag outside the house .  It's an opportunity to teach our generation  people and to show our spirit to the neighborhood. Have a "Safe and Sane" fireworks display parents or adults in charge and supervising and fastening mini-flags at car antennas.

The World Hunger Problem

Do you people aware about hunger that happen in the world? Why people who can have meal three times a day always waste food? Hunger is one of the scary problem that not yet happen to us but did we all aware about. I think it must be solved before it become worst problem ever. Actually food source not enough is the major cause that lead to this problem. Why I’m asying this because armaments race, unemployment or the environmental problem of  pollution can give effect to food production. So, before it become worst a few step to stop it need to be taken.

What ought we to do personally if we find out that there is famine in any land or region? Individually we can do little but if some human beings organize a collection of money, food, medicines etc. we all can help people in need. Many organizations (for example Polski Czerwony Krzyż - Polish Red Cross, Polska Akcja Humanitarna - Polish Humanitarian Action, Caritas) aid people from Poland and other countries. Everybody (if they want) can support their actions as much as possible.

But this just a temporary and a not definitive solution to this problem. Somebody said: 'If you give somebody a fish, he won't be hungry one day but if you give him a net, he won't be hungry for years'. From this statement we should not just feed hungry people but teach them to avoid famine in their land as well. But I think it is not enough because , it is easier to give a beggar a coin than to enable him to earn money.

From my opinion, science may help to improve agriculture in Africa and Asia but money, nations' and their goverments' good will, and agricultural instructors are needed. New species of plants and animals and new methods of cultivation and breeding could help to increase agricultural production.

If goverments, organizations, enterprises, political parties, and common citizens (like us) did not spend so much money on armaments, election campaigns, advertisements, bureaucracy, and luxurious goods we could spend it on education, aid for the poor and, in this manner, prevent poverty and hunger all over the world. But the limitation of consumption and changes of people's thinking are almost impossible in a typical rich country.

In conclusion, this problem is not easy to solved and it’s solution demand big effort from all of peoples, organizational, government and others countries. So I hope, in the future no one will suffer from hunger and starvation.

OH MY ENGLISH

Hi guys, this time we came up with an interesting topic to you all. How are we going to improve and promote our English language? Well, we just thought up of some simple ways for anyone who is interested in improving their English. We were trying to improve in this language each day. There’s always so much to learn and it can be really fun. You just need to have the passion and enthusiasm to better yourself.

Most people would advise us to read anything and everything in English to improve our language. But, I hate to read books that bore me. So, I have my alternative ways to learn English in a fun way.

You can listen to English songs. Read the lyrics as you listen to the songs. Listen to your favourite songs and sing along to them. Even, watch English movies with subtitles. This would be my favourite way of learning English. Not only do I get to have a fun time watching the movie, I’d be learning new words at the same time and knowing how to pronounce them! Usually, you can get movies with English subtitles on DVDs.

You can start a blog in English. This is one way for you to practice your writing. Write a blog on something that you love. If you are a fan of movies, start a blog and write about your favourite movies, your favourite characters, what you think could be improved in the movie, and what new movies to expect next year. Besides blogging, try joining online forums, engage in online chatting.

Be best friends with a good English dictionary. You can use Oxford, Collins, Cambridge or any other dictionary. Buy a dictionary that you’re comfortable with and use it at all times. Keep it next to you when you’re reading. I always put my favourite Oxford dictionary by my side when I’m reading. So when I stumble upon a word I don’t know, I don’t have to get up and look around for it. It’s right there by my side. Thus, I have no excuse for not looking the word up.

Label things in your house or office with post-its. The easiest vocabulary to learn is the vocabulary of things you see and use everyday. If you can write the names of things around you on slips of paper and stick them on the real thing, this is a great way of learning useful vocabulary. If you can leave them there over the following days and weeks, this is a very easy way of revising the vocabulary until it is properly learnt. For people who can't put labels on real things, the next best option is to take a photo of a real place in your life like your office, print it out, and then draw lines to all of the things you can see in the picture and label them in English with the help of a dictionary. You can do the same thing with places you pass through everyday like the station. Because you will see the same thing again and again, it should be easy to really learn the words for those things.

Model your accent on one particular actor. For example try to speak like Owen Wilson or Arnold Schwarzenegger. Students who say they want to sound more like a native speaker have the problem that native speakers don't sound all that much like each other. Choosing one model can make the task of improving your pronunciation more clear, and is quite fun. Thus, doing an impression of that person also makes a good party trick.

Learn a new word a day. Keep your own vocabulary notebook and write a new word and its meaning in it every day. Refer to it as often as possible so that the new words will stick in your head.

Find a foreign boyfriend or girlfriend. No tips on how to do this here, but everyone agrees that getting or even just looking for a date in English can be a great motivator to improve your language skills.

Actually, there are many more ways for you to improve your English. Learn at your own pace. There’s no need to hurry when learning something especially a language. Make learning English fun. Don’t give up too soon or get discouraged. Don’t get stressed out when it becomes a little difficult. Good luck.
