The Ways I Learn side of meatI was born in a small village outside Kodiang Town. It was a Malay village and most of the villager spiel as farmer. I was increase up in Malay family and my native language was Malay. My pargonnt work as educator until today, but they had basic knowledge or so side of meat because their studies not an face Education. It was a long journey for me to watch over face and until this moment I still continue to master this language. Beside English, I as well got opportunities to find out Arabic language in a formal education. I in addition try to say other foreign language by my own such as Japanese.Even my parents do not palaver English at home, but they continuously encourage and support me to look out English. At the age of four historic period old my mother unendingly bought many flash card, book with picture, puzzle and colouring book for me. subsequently she getting back from direct she will take one of the books and pronounce the w ord and ask me to repeat it. My mother also uses somewhat English word to teach me about common object that we could found in my house. She will said that is cat, cat, a cat and I will repeat slowly cat. At the age of five years old, my mother had move me to kindergarten. At there, I started my first formal lesson with English. The teacher teaches us about the letter A to Z, number 1 to 10, spelling and also pronunciations.When I enter primary school by the age of seven years old, I already used few English run-in in my daily conversation. The common words that I always used with my family and friends is baby, colour, bag, behind and others. I got actually motivated teacher at that time he always inspired me to talk fluently in English. His name is Mr Zamarul Hisham put in Kamaruddin. One of his teaching technique is he wanted us to turn in our own personal dictionaries and each student must bring that dictionaries both day to school. The use of that dictionary is for stude nt to record every whizz new word that we learn in his classes or from other teacher. I think he did help student a lot in learning this language. During this time my mother also encourages me to read lots.My passion is always on knowledge and technologies and mother know I love science very much. So, she bought me hundreds of English science book during my childhood. Book about position on animals, plants, car, building and astronomy is among my favorite book at that time. sometime(prenominal) I does not read at all because science terminal figure are difficult to understand for me at that age, but I unfeignedly love to looking at those picture. another(prenominal) effort of my mother to slay me understand English well is by reading bedtime fable books. each(prenominal) month she will take me to Popular Bookstore to bought one bedtime story book. I always choose story book that devour been keep by Grid Blyton. The story that he drop a line always have moral value and le sson for children to learn. Every night I spend some time with my mother to read those stories book. I always ask a lot to my mother about each story which such a great curiosity.Beside from reading books and formal lesson in school, another environment which also gives big influence for me to learn English is the exposure to technologies. In beforehand(predicate) ages, English cartoon program such as Sesame avenue, Barney and Friends, vapors Clues and Mickey Mouse and Friends help me to communicate and understand English. Sesame Street encourages me to learn by demonstrating how people use various strategies, such as observing and predicting, to explore the world around me. Watching cartoon in English helps to hone my listening skills and learn how English is actually spoken. In addition through watching television, we learn with our desire and not by force like in classroom. So, I can learn a lot through watching television. I also can learn about general knowledge, science fac t and recent news when I watch documentary on National Geographic and Discovery Channel. Another advantage to watching television is the learning of playing with words. English taught in schools can be very rigid and sometimes the words are straight out of the book. Learning through television though is very good for pronunciation because the learner can actually hear the words spoken as they should be.Another innovation of technologies which help to develop my English skill was computer and mobile phone. As those gadget was invented and it become a trend for everybody to use it, I realized that it also help me to alter my phrase in English. All the term used in technologies was an English word and the term like make a call, sending massage, printout, copy and paste and others was widely use after the technologies was invented. I also learn a lot of new vocabulary through playing post on computer. Strategic game such as Red terrific 2, Call of Duty and Modern War used high voca bulary of word to explain the goal of each game. Sometimes I had to turn out up my dictionaries or seek the certain meaning of words from the cyberspace to understand the depute given in the game. If I cannot understand the task or the mission, I cannot compete and win the game.I like to write a story essay. This is because narrative or stories is an open essay which I can use my own imagination to write those essays. In world examination such as PMR and SPM, I always choose the narrative essay to answer. My Secondary School teacher, Madam Asliza Binti Zubir always encourages me to develop my manufacture writing skill. She gives me a lot of fiction stories for me to get idea and excitement to write a better first individual essay exploitation my own imagination. My lifes principle for learning language also helps me to improve my English skill. I believe that to master the certain language desire is chief(prenominal) for a person to explore and discover the language by hims elf. It does not need a formal education to learn other language. As long as there are desire and effort, we can learn what ever language we want through any medium of learning. I prove myself by learning Arabic language in school and learning Japanese through anime. I notice that, I good memorize Japanese words when watching Japanese anime much than all the memorizing activities of Arabic class in school.
