Prof. David Crystal giving me the meaning of definition of dream, he said" that someone is being unrealistic, very hopeful and any circumstances in which expectations are raised-in your dream”. From the listening I can study a lot of new Vocabulary, Grammar, Phase of sentences that I never listen before.

Hello for my lovely teacher Madam Sitha and all of my friend. Glad to see for our second assignment which want us to listen to Prof David in learning English website. Fuhh… I can breath easy now because after for many times I’ve tried to search this website because the server always down every time I want to log on the website, finally I can heard what Prof David said and from what he said I can learn so many new things. His language is not really hard to make me understand of what he said.

From this website I’ve choose about Wicked. Wicked it means 'wonderful', 'great', 'cool', 'splendid'. It came into English from United States' black slang in the 1980s or maybe earlier. Certainly it arrived in Britain in the late 1980s.

It was part of a trend which goes back decades to use bad words to mean good concepts, or the other way round. And always there's been this use of the word 'naughty' to mean 'nice'. So it's part of a general trend.

'Wicked!' is a reaction - that's how youngsters use it. And youngsters, of course, knowing that grown ups are now using it as well, have decided to use other bad words in the same sort of way.

Wicked is still around. It's meant, of course, that the traditional sense of wicked is now being squeezed out, much as 'gay' made it difficult to use the traditional sense of 'merry' or 'cheerful' when it started to be used in reference to homosexuals. So with wicked, tone of voice is the only way to make the distinction between the old meaning and the new meaning, and even that's ambiguous sometimes. And notice that the word is extending its use. The other day, for the first time, Prof David told that he heard somebody said, 'wicked cool'. That is meaning 'very cool'.

From this website I was learn a few new words for my vocabulary. Below are the new words that I learn:


i) Wicked
ii) Splendid
iii) Ambiguous
iv) Youngsters

-ASSIGNMENT 2-


Assalamualaikum ......

Just now, I was listened David Crystal. Firstly, when i listened it, I can't pick up what the topic it talked about. I do not understand very well. But, i repeated to listen it more and more. And i think, it is not so difficult.

The topic is about our dream.That's means, somebody is being unaware, hopeful and very optimistic. I believe, everyone of us was dream. Maybe somebody is unaware about their dreams.

In dictionary the meaning of dream is to waste time by thinking about what may happen.
In my opinion.that's good for someone to has their own dream..because dream can make someone work hard to achieve their dream.I think without dream i cannot imagine what will happen and what i must to do now.

For example.One of my dream is to be a man who master in English Language,can write n speak well.In this semester i must take this opportunity to make my dream become true.

ASSIGNMENT 2....(mUaH!!!)



Hello my lovely lecture, Madam Sitha and also my happening friends….{^________^}

Today…for the last day that we must submit our assignment for this blog,I have listening to the Professor David Crystal web site. At the first time when I knew we must done this as our second assignment, think it’s not quite difficult…maybe it’s just seem like our MUET listening before…but…when I heard it…waarrrghhh..it’s quit difficult for me to understand what he was talking about! Same with everyone, I was heard it for 3-4 times, but I’m still blurred…cannot understand it 100%...

From the headlines ‘Keep Your English Up To Date’, I was choosing the topic ‘Mwah!’ because it sounds so interesting for me. Actually this topic is about what we understand about the meaning of ‘mwah’. Actually, it’s a sort of ‘sound symbolic’ word and its mean a lovely way of expressing the actual noise that takes place when you do a phony kiss of this kind. As example, when one person puts the cheek against the other person's cheek and they have what is often called an 'air' kiss. They make a kissing noise, which shows that they're coming together, as great intimates, but it's not a real kiss at all. And many people then give this air kiss a noise, a word, and it's usually 'mwah', 'mwah' - something like that.

I got a lot of new words from this listening like I was list below:

1) intimate = to tell people something in an indirect way


2) affectation = something that is not part of your natural personality but that you do or say to impress people


3) awful = used for emphasizing how unpleased someone or something



I certainly was heard this ‘mwah’ word on the radio and certainly it was used as a way of saying goodbye to listeners, so everyone…mwah!!!mwah!!!

ASSIGNMENT 1...

In third semester I must take English Foundation (ZZZH 2014) because I just got band 2 in MUET. Actually I didn’t make any preparation for my MUET paper because at the same time I’m busy with my study for final exam.
To avoid from feel bored while semester 3, I decided to take one more subject that is U2 (Kepimpinan Interpersonal) but unfortunately in this semester I’m involve with many tournament for four weeks. Tournament for MASUM at USM Pulau Pinang, SUKNES at Seremban Negeri Sembilan and the latest WSFFM (Women’s Sports And Fitness Foundation Malaysia) at Bukit Jalil Kuala Lumpur. Here I want to say I’m so very sorry Madam because can’t give my full commitment for this course.
I’m still remember, when I gave exemption letter to Madam. She was suggested me that I better drop this subject. I’m really shocked and felt so sad when she said like that but I think she just joke. Even though I didn’t came for fourth weeks but I still done my work and submitted on the time. For any information about this subject for fourth weeks I didn’t came class I got from Khadijah, Mimi and Ida. Thank a lot my friends.
On this time I have absent only 5 lectures. That time I learned how to communicate like by using body language and dialogue with action. From that I saw Madam is dreative person to make us interest in this subject. I feel so happy and enjoy the class. For all the best thing you do only words ”Thanks” for teaching me……………
I love you Madam Sitha…………………. ;)

From my opinion this programmed online listening practice in BBC website is a very good and interesting programmed, because the website have a many topic to learning and this website is easy for using and organized.

Every topic in this website can teach me how I can answer the every question by followed step by step. And I think everybody must be accesses this web site and learn or testing how longs your English level on yourself.

Assignment 1: English !!!! hahahahahuhuhuhuhu…. But its OK 









Jamaludin Bin Alias :: A113337 :: ( Déjà vu )




English Foundation class in 3rd semester. At this class I have learned more topic and I think I get an improvement in myself about English language.

Before this in my mind, I fell the English one of the difficult thing for me. But now whatever all I thanked about this is false. I must be opening my mind and changing my self to conquer English language for develops for my future.

April 2006, I have received two offers from Deakin University and Curtin University in Australia for continued my study in Bachelor Science of Architecture and I very happy about that. But when I think my English language is very poor and I not have any scholarship, so I decide didn’t to go and I very sad that time.

So my future plan, I must be to go to the other country, maybe Australia, United Kingdom or other commonwealths country for continued my ambition for study in architecture on to higher level.

Madam Sitha is my lecturer in my English foundation class. I liked her because she used a simple method to teach me, as example she write and explained how, when and for what to using certain word and when I want to apply the words to the sentence.

Lastly I hope she can stay with her method to teaching the next batch student. In conclusion everybody must have improvement in English language for flying with colours in the future.

In this semester 3, 2006/2007 session, i'd took a foundation english ZH 2014 paper. It is one of the 'degree qualification condition' of my course that i must took to complete my course.
Therefore along this course, me and my friend had learn all many thing such as proving in reading, writing, listening, speaking and improve our vocabulary. However what i want to share here were my experience by learning english along this course.
To improve our reading skill, we must read one of the 'penguin's story books' and i had choose 'The Gulliver's travel'. It was such a very good story book. Simple and easy to understand. Subsequently it make my vocabulary much better than before.:) I'd took just only 30 minutes to finish this book.

MY ENGLISH LIFE

My mother is a English's teacher..but what happen to her son.I dont know why i really hate to study English since i was young.Since at my age 9 years old, my mother made a tuition class for my brother, my friends and i, but i'm the one who was very lazy and always sleeping in that class. I don't know what was my mother felt. At twelve, i'm sitting for UPSR (ujian penilaian sekolah rendah). When the result coming out,i got 4 A's but i just got B for my English. Then, when i was fifteen years old, i'm sitting for the PMR ( peperiksaan menengah rendah). The result same as i was twelve. I got A for all subject except for my English. When i was seventeen, the same thing happen again. After that i entered to Matriculation College, and i realize on what was happen to my English and what was i done to my mom. So that i was try hard to study English even i just got band 2 for my MUET. I promise to myself, one day English will be in my hand. I have a story but i don't it funny or not, but when i realize that day, i'll always smiling. One night, i am on the way from my faculty to my hostel. When i at on junction,i saw a foreigner's student walking. I felt sorry for that guy because i've walking from my faculty to my hostel. It very tired thing. But i so confused wether i want to hel0p him or not. I don't know why i return my motorcycle back to that guy. When i'm at him, i don't know what to say and just looking at him. The guy also looking at me. After that, "where are u going?" I ask him but i dont know wether my question was true or not. Then that guy was aswered me but too bad to me because i really can't got even a word from his answer. Automaticaly i ask "ha??". I think the guy know that i wasn't understand him. So that he was done something seem like dancing, so funny while he say "ceremony,,ceremony,,". After that i just know that he want to go to a program at our university's hall. I smiling and ask him to go with me."ok,ok..coming with me...lets go..". One more time i don't know what am i saying. And now, when i take English Foundation class. Again i promise to myself to make better than before.

Plex read, And giVe me a cOmment...


What I lost somewhere once
What I left somewhere on that day
Now I go on a journey
With what is left in my hand.
What are you thinking about now?
What can I do for you?
Maybe it is valuable as it has no forms,
Maybe it is cruel and beautiful.
Whether it rains or it blows
On the glowing day or on the silent night
Even if here is the end of the world
I wish to show you the continuation of the dream

I will grow a beautiful flower
And offer it to you
To praise your beautiful soul
I will play a song
And play by your side
To let you know
How much I care
About you

Assignment#2

That website is very useful to us..The narrator not only try to show the example how to use those word but it also could be used as a listening training..The narrator was pronounced the word well..So, we can learn how to pronounce it correctly..Each word has their own style how to pronounce..In conversation, we must speak clearly and calmly..Not too rushed..
We want to avoid misundestood among the listeners..You will feel proud because whatever you said, everybody will understand although the grammars are incorrect..The listeners were listening the main point only not the whole passage..

In addition to, the narrator also told us the cronology of the transformation of a word which is influenced by US or UK slang..For example, in the UK, they called mobile phone instead in the US which is cell phone..Nowadays, everybody shortened the word became cell and then this word is spread to UK..Therefore, English is not fixed and it will transformed depends on environment..

Do you know what is surfing?Surfing is an activity or sport which is a person try to stand as long as he can to flow along or inside the waves..Nowadays this word has multi-definition..We can defined surfing as an activity which is a person uses the internet..Hence, it proved that our universal language, English could be multi-definition soon and depends on the environment as well.

Now, internet is everything. What we want? All things in the Internet. Agree with me?. In the internet, we can make to order something, pay the bill, reading an article, find something new, learn something and others. At this night, I will do my second assignment with using internet. My second assignment is about one website, www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish. Firstly,I try so search www.bbc.co.uk, after that I search Prof. David Crystal, all about Prof. David Cristal is complete finding. Then I choose one topic is about ‘Text’. After that, I try to download the audio to listen the pro. crystal recording. I listen it many times and try to understand what the information inside the tape. I try to listen it carefully. I repeat, repeat and repeat again to listen what Prof. David Crystal said. After a few minutes I heard this tape, I knew this tape about text. At the www.bbc.co.uk website, I can learning some new vocabulary and get some information.

First time I listen what is Prof. David Crystal said, I cannot understand, but I try to copy all the text and paste to www.citcat.com’s website. This website is used to transfer meaning between two language, malay-english and English-malay. What I got is more Understand about text. What is text?.. 'Text' is one of these new words that have come into English as a result of the internet revolution and especially, this time, the cell phone revolution. For your information, before 5, 10 years ago Cell phones didn't exist, after that, people started using them to send messages to each other. First as a noun, we had the noun 'text' and now we have the verb 'to text', which is to send a written message using a mobile phone or a cell phone. Actually text isn't new. Although the verb 'to text' is a modern feature of today is English, Today, text was to write something in very large letters, in capital letters, and also in 'text hand'.

I learn the vocabulary from the that site like

  • abbreviate v. (-ting) shorten, esp. represent (a word etc.) by a part of it.  abbreviation n. [Latin: related to *brief]
  • engaged adj. 1 pledged to marry. 2 (of a person) occupied, busy. 3 (of a telephone line, toilet, etc.) in use.
  • succinct adj. brief; concise.  succinctly adv. succinctness n. [Latin cingo cinct- gird]
  • revolution n. 1 forcible overthrow of a government or social order. 2 any fundamental change or reversal of conditions. 3 revolving. 4 a single completion of an orbit or rotation. b time taken for this. 5 cyclic recurrences. [Latin: related to *revolve]
  • expression n. 1 expressing or being expressed. 2 word or phrase expressed. 3 person's facial appearance, indicating feeling. 4 conveying of feeling in music, speaking, dance, etc. 5 depiction of feeling etc. in art. 6 Math. Collection of symbols expressing a quantity.  expressionless adj. [French: related to *express]

Assignment 2 : Individual Online Listening and Writing

The English language is permanently evolving and developing. New words and expressions are coined and existing words change their meaning. BBC Learning English website really can help me to keep my English up to date I can do some extra work by this way.

The aims of the audio script are to improve the listening skills and knowledge of English language. Professor David Crystal is a famous expert on language. He gives a few short talks on the origins and usage of new and evolved words and phrases that have recently made it into the language, but not even found in dictionaries.

The language work in this talk focuses on the acronym from phases.

The new word which is found in the talk is WYSIWYG. It is an acronym meaning 'what you see is what you get'. It means that what you see on the screen is what you get in the output. This type of acronym, when a phase becomes a collection of initials is common in internet chat and mobile phone text conversations.

After listened to the talk, I am just knowing that who is Britney Spears and she had a song which included it - 'because I can promise U baby what you see is what U get' - the word 'you' was spelt with just a capital letter 'U'. I have never known this before. I also think it got its accolade, this phrase, as what was told by Professor David Crystal.

In my opinion, it is difficult to detect a word with the basic knowledge of English languages since the sounds of word can be difference for other country. Therefore, I may know how to pronounce some words correctly after reading the transcript according to the audio script repeatedly. Then, I learn the grammar part and a lot of new words with their explanations.

There are a lot of vocabularies I learnt from the talk, some of them are:
(a) Acronym - a word made from the first letters of a group of words.
(b) A cross-dressing character - a female actor who wears a male clothes on stage, or the
other way around.
(c) Circumstances - situation or contexts.
(d) An accolade - praise for or recognition of great achievement.

I feel very enjoyable with this learning section of online listening. I am quite curious about this talk because I just know that the existence of the acronym and some acronyms are interesting, for example, ASAP that stands for ‘as soon as possible’, but it means smoke in Malay language. This morning, I just found that it is used in an advertisement at bus stop in front of the faculty. Besides, I learnt that ATM is not only used as a short form of automatic teller machine, but it is also stands for ‘at the moment’,.

On the other hand, I would like to thank Madam Sitha who has taught us so much that were involving the funny activities during this short semester. She asked us to find the meaning and example of the idioms that used parts of the human body. In addition, we learnt about acrostic poem. I found that it is quite interesting when we are asked to write acrostic poems for each word in our names which will describe the attitudes of us. Then, Madam Sitha taught us about affixes which are divided into two parts, prefix and suffix. Besides, I also knew some misuse words, for examples, eligible and illegible.

Therefore, I think I have learnt more about English and like it so much.

ASSIGNMENT 2

I have go to David Crystal website ang there is so many word that I have not seen before. I choose the word 'Hotdesking' because it seem attractive to me. I want to know what the word means. So I download the audio to listen the Profesor David Crystal recording. I listen it many times to know the information inside this tape. After a few time listening this tape, I know the word "hotdesking" is means for the practice of sharing desks or workstations between office workers, on a sort rota system. The word "hotdesking" is use for people that dont't have individual desks for sharing desks for works with other workers. When the first time i see this work, I think it means the desks is hot because the beginning of the word, there is "hot" work. I've imagine the desk is "heat up" and the steam coming off the desk!. Now I understand "hotdesking" mean. The Audio of David Crystal really help me know the meaning of that word. Later, I want to use this website to find some other word that I've not understand. I really enjoyed using this kind of menthod to improve my listening and writing skill.

On 22nd May 2007, we went to Asahan again show demonstrated on Low C 90,Mortar and Clearmomile (jerangkap samar). Huhu… that equipments were so hard to prepare. We must be careful when used that gun. The sounds were louder than GPMG and LMG. We felt the shacking of the gun when the bullet fell on the land. We can saw the land destroyed. I imagined that situations as in war. Huhu….it was frightened me.

Assignment 2

For your information, to do this assignment I have borrowed a speaker to play the sound of Professor David Crystal. After I'm listened to Prof. David Crystal's recording, not once but so many times, and finally I understand his recording. The title I choose is “make my day”. It was a very simple word, but it caught my attention. It means that “do something that really please me”. Professor David Crystal uses hunters to explain this word. He said before the hunters start their operation hunting, they use to say “go ahead and make my day”, then they start hunt and they got victory. That’s word can be a motivation for they. What I got not only the meaning of the word, but I also learn a new vocabulary. After I listened, even I not really hear it clearly, but at least I learned some pronunciation. The way Professor David Crystal pronounces is very good. Man, I must improve my listening skill or else I can not heat what he says. In my opinion, this website is very useful, because it can help us to improve our English, only depend on us want to do it or not. I glad I found this website, and I will full use it.
