pirdaus 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2008 (edited) Hello…the aim I write this is to improve my English skill since I decide to do online business, I know, I aware English is very important language to get and understand information on the internet, so many information on the internet in English I will post my short essay here and hopefully someone can check my essay and adjust if anything wrong in my essayI was found some tips how to mastering English=========================================================================Petua yang keempat untuk cepat pandai Bahasa Inggeris ialah ‘Berfikir dalam Bahasa Inggeris’. Apakah maksudnya?Begini. Apabila anda sedang fikirkan sesuatu, anda selalunya berfikir dalam bahasa Ibunda anda sendiri iaitu bahasa Malaysia bagi kita orang Malaysia. Namun, jika anda sedang belajar Bahasa Inggeris dan mahu cepat pandai, anda perlu mula belajar berfikir dalam bahasa ini. Contohnya, apabila anda melihat sekeping gambar seorang budak lelaki sedang menangis, apakah yang akan anda fikirkan? Anda mungkin terfikir, “kenapa budak ni menangis?â€, “Siapa buat budak ni menangis?â€, “Budak ni sakit ke?†dan bermacam-macam lagi yang boleh anda fikirkan dalam bahasa Ibunda anda. Namun, apabila anda mahu cepat pandai Bahasa Inggeris, fikir dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Contohnya, “Why is this boy crying?â€, What is happening here?â€, Where is his parents?â€, “what is he doing here?†dan bermacam-macam lagi.Anda mungkin kata, “Macam mana nak buat, saya tak tahu Bahasa Inggeris, macam mana nak fikir dalam Bahasa Inggeris?â€. Ya, anda mungkin belum fasih lagi bahasa ini dan apabila anda cuba fikir, mungkin ayat anda tidak betul. Anda tidak perlu risau. Apa yang bagusnya ialah, jika ayat anda salah semasa anda berfikir, tidak ada sesiapa yang tahu dan tidak ada sesiapa yang akan ketawakan anda. Jadi anda boleh berlakon seolah-olah anda sedang bercakap dalam Bahasa Inggeris dengan lancar.Apabila anda mula berfikir begini, anda juga akan mula peka kepada bagaimana cara melafazkan sesuatu dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Katakan suatu hari, anda sedang berdiri di dalam bas bersama kawan anda dan kawan anda menyuruh anda duduk kerana ada kerusi kosong. Anda mahu katakan “Saya tidak terasa pun hendak duduk, awak je lah duduk.†Tetapi anda tidak tahu bagaimana cara menyebutnya. Anda cuba fikirkan ayatnya tetapi masih tidak dapat bagaimana cara menyebutnya.Kemudian, apabila anda sedang menonton cerita dalam bahasa Inggeris, ada situasi yang sama seperti di dalam bas tadi. Anda lihat, watak dalam cerita itu berkata “I don’t feel like sitting, why don’t you sit.â€. Oleh kerana anda sudah berfikir dalam Bahasa Inggeris tadi, anda akan sedar akan ayat ini dan anda pun boleh menggunakannya.Anda perlu, salah satu sebab mengapa seseorang sukar menguasai Bahasa Inggeris ialah dia asyik berfikir dalam bahasa Ibundanya. Dia asyik berfikir dalam bahasa Ibunda dan cuba menukarkannya kepada Bahasa Inggeris. Inilah yang menyebabkan proses pembelajaran menjadi sukar.Jadi mulai hari ini, cuba berfikir dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Jangan risau jika ayat itu salah. Ayat yang salah itu akan betul juga nanti.

The wrong sentence will correct soon, safe try well, i have to give u my credit since there are lots of issues about this language especially translating everything, ur thoughts and so on in english, i'll be glad to lend my hand for ur good sake, well let's do this together, as more brains working are better than 1, so let's go!Petua yang keempat untuk cepat pandai Bahasa Inggeris ialah ‘Berfikir dalam Bahasa Inggeris’. Apakah maksudnya?Tips on mastering English language is to think in 'English language'. What does it mean?Begini. Apabila anda sedang fikirkan sesuatu, anda selalunya berfikir dalam bahasa Ibunda anda sendiri iaitu bahasa Malaysia bagi kita orang Malaysia. Namun, jika anda sedang belajar Bahasa Inggeris dan mahu cepat pandai, anda perlu mula belajar berfikir dalam bahasa ini. Contohnya, apabila anda melihat sekeping gambar seorang budak lelaki sedang menangis, apakah yang akan anda fikirkan? Anda mungkin terfikir, “kenapa budak ni menangis?â€, “Siapa buat budak ni menangis?â€, “Budak ni sakit ke?†dan bermacam-macam lagi yang boleh anda fikirkan dalam bahasa Ibunda anda. Namun, apabila anda mahu cepat pandai Bahasa Inggeris, fikir dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Contohnya, “Why is this boy crying?â€, What is happening here?â€, Where is his parents?â€, “what is he doing here?†dan bermacam-macam lagi.When you are thinking about something, usually you will give it a thought in your mother tongue language that is Malay Language if you are a Malaysian. If you want to learn and be proficient, you have to think in English language. For instance, when you saw a picture of a boy who is crying, what do you have in mind? You might be thinking "why did he cried?", "who make this boy crying?","is he sick?" in Malay language. To enhance your knowledge in English language, you should think in that language, such as "what is happening here?", "where is his parents?", "what is he doing here" and many more.Anda mungkin kata, “Macam mana nak buat, saya tak tahu Bahasa Inggeris, macam mana nak fikir dalam Bahasa Inggeris?â€. Ya, anda mungkin belum fasih lagi bahasa ini dan apabila anda cuba fikir, mungkin ayat anda tidak betul. Anda tidak perlu risau. Apa yang bagusnya ialah, jika ayat anda salah semasa anda berfikir, tidak ada sesiapa yang tahu dan tidak ada sesiapa yang akan ketawakan anda. Jadi anda boleh berlakon seolah-olah anda sedang bercakap dalam Bahasa Inggeris dengan lancar.You might say, "how am i supposed to do it, i don't know this language, how can i think about it in English language?". Supposedly you are not good with this language and when you give it a certain thought, maybe your sentences are wrong. Not to worry as the good thing about it is if your sentences are wrong when you are thinking about it, nobody will know and laugh at you. You can pretend as if you speak in this language fluently.Apabila anda mula berfikir begini, anda juga akan mula peka kepada bagaimana cara melafazkan sesuatu dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Katakan suatu hari, anda sedang berdiri di dalam bas bersama kawan anda dan kawan anda menyuruh anda duduk kerana ada kerusi kosong. Anda mahu katakan “Saya tidak terasa pun hendak duduk, awak je lah duduk.†Tetapi anda tidak tahu bagaimana cara menyebutnya. Anda cuba fikirkan ayatnya tetapi masih tidak dapat bagaimana cara menyebutnya.When you start to think like this, you will develop awareness on how to express something in English language. Say that one day you are in a bus standing with your friend and he ask you to take a sit as there is a vacant seat. You want to tell that "i don't feel like sitting, why don't you sit" but don't know how to pronounce it.Kemudian, apabila anda sedang menonton cerita dalam bahasa Inggeris, ada situasi yang sama seperti di dalam bas tadi. Anda lihat, watak dalam cerita itu berkata “I don’t feel like sitting, why don’t you sit.â€. Oleh kerana anda sudah berfikir dalam Bahasa Inggeris tadi, anda akan sedar akan ayat ini dan anda pun boleh menggunakannya.Suddenly you remembered a scene from a movie which had the same situation in the bus, the character said “I don’t feel like sitting, why don’t you sit.†When you set your mind in English language, you will realize about this sentence and can use it.Anda perlu, salah satu sebab mengapa seseorang sukar menguasai Bahasa Inggeris ialah dia asyik berfikir dalam bahasa Ibundanya. Dia asyik berfikir dalam bahasa Ibunda dan cuba menukarkannya kepada Bahasa Inggeris. Inilah yang menyebabkan proses pembelajaran menjadi sukar.Reason why someone is hardly to understand this language is the way he always think in his own language rather than English language. That's why the learning process become more difficult.Jadi mulai hari ini, cuba berfikir dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Jangan risau jika ayat itu salah. Ayat yang salah itu akan betul juga nanti. Selamat mencubaFrom now on, try to think in English language. Don't worry if your sentence is wrong. Eventually, the wrong sentence will be correct somehow. Good luck!OK, that's my line, hope somebody with enough knowledge to contribute more if u are willing to do so & thx! blink.gif Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amduron 1 Report post Posted March 31, 2009 yes, definitely any methods are suffice in order to gain more about this language. For me, watching the television, any show in english will be helpful enough for those who savor much of it. Come to think that even newspaper helps a lot (but it doesn't help you to pronounce the right thing, bet me..) so watch news for sure, learn the pronounciation in a way a Malaysian should be Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parangjiwa 3 Report post Posted December 12, 2010 Salam, hello to all. Simple steps to have at least a good basic command of English: 1) Learn the basics well - grammar 2) Use English whenever possible, especially with your friends and families. I'm not saying that we have to be an Englishman who speaks English 24/7; just for certain period of time. Try having simple daily conversations, for example; what movie are we going to watch tonight, giving directions, . etc. 3) When watching tv in English language, try not to read the subtitles. if possible, switch off the subtitle function. If you afraid that you couldn't understand, do this with anybody who's English is good. The next one would probably memorize few songs in English language that you like. If possible, try to understand the meaning of the song/lyrics. 4) Preferably, use English only dictionary; avoid bilingual. It may be hard at first, but it's for the best. Besides, the explanations inside a typical English dictionary are in normal understandable English language. 5) Lastly, practice3x and always check with your English teacher or someone who is good in English. I myself must learn more...Frankly, my English is not as good comparing with my college and university days. Ok, good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parangjiwa 3 Report post Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Just one simple different but a related real story about learning a foreign language. it's about passion and hard work. During my secondary school, i chose French as my 3rd language. no worries it's just basic like kindergarten level, plus i forgot most of it already because i haven't use it for a long2 time..my bad, haha. Je suis tres desole. Je parle le francais mais un peu. hehee..the story came from my French teacher, our local Malaysian Chinese of course. He is one great teacher at teaching French. Once we asked how could he master French; he revealed the story. He went to France to further his studies in err i forgot already in what majoring, but during his teaching days his collective qualifications are up to par with the school's principal. So for sure he has to master French back then. His tutor that time teaches French in....French...yeah go figure..It's like sign language or in Bahasa Melayu we say "macam cakap ayam itik". hahaaha...so difficult but in order to understand the language he did everything he could. until he master the language. Just imagine, to ask to go to toilet in French, which if you didn't master well...It may sound completely rubbish or rude. you know, not all French people know or prefer to speak in English those days, especially the elders. not sure nowadays; thats what my French teacher told me. they even will salute you if you speak broken French to them. to them it's a good thing to at least try. they really honour their language. just like most Japanese officers or delegates who hires English translators during meeting with foreigners who speaks English although they know English language themselves. funny, but true. so to know is to love.
