AN INTRODUCTION TO BAHASA INGGRIS II

Last Thursday, February 26th 2009 was the first meeting of Bahasa Inggris II lesson. It's also the first time, i met Mr. Marsigit in lecturing. In my opinion, he is very interesting person. He made something different and new in our English lesson. He told us that he doesn't want to teach us with convensional method. So, for the first task, he asked us to make blog. it's new for me because i never have had a blog before. He told that after we make a blog for this lecturing, we must be his follower, http://marsigitenglish.blogspot.com. Truly, this blog isn't his main blog.
After he commanded us to make a blog, he told us about his blog. He has a lot of blogs. And in his main blog, there are sad songs/elegies about the condition of students, lecturers and also this environment. He said that these writing can't be understood well for us, as common people. Then, i opened his main blog. and i proof his words. I was confused when i read his writing.
Now it's time to talk English. Truly, i like English very much. But i have difficulties to improve my skill in English, expecially speaking. But, last Thursday, i had some advices from him. What should we do to study English? There are 5 things which have important role for our success.
The first is "motivation". It's the main thing that we must have. If we have a good willingness, we will enjoy to study something. Motivation is not only willingness, but also our feeling, happiness, our focus and our belief that we can. Motivation can help us to love English and make us more bravier to practice our ability. Don’t be afraid to try new thing.
After we have motivation, we will think about attitude. We must have good attitude. It means we must have strategy to develop our English skill. We must work hard to reach our want. And we shouldn’t give up when we try. Just show your best.
The other point is understanding. We must understand our destination. If we want to suceed at English, we must look for others source about the lesson. We can ask to our lecturers, our friends etc. We must understand what is the important parts which help us to be better. Then we must be more sensitive to understand others’ condition. We also must be responsible with our way. If we understand others, we can work with other friends easily.
The fourth is skill. Skill is our strenght. If we have skill, for example English. We should develop our skill. We can read books, hear everything related to english, learn from other people and our environment and write everything that we want in English.
The last point is experience. I think experience can help us to learn from the past. We can evaluate our mistakes and keep our right way. With practise our English, we will know our ability. We can see that we can. And experiences can make us better than before.
Those are the five things which can help us to achieve our success in English. But those all also can help us to reach all our dreams. I hope i can practice these ways. So, i can improve my ability. I think it is enough. At last, always pray to Allah.
