What have u learnt throughout this semester in BELL 311?

In my view I have learnt a lot for BELL 311 compared to others semester. This semester I more focus on BELL 311 maybe because Miss Zu ask us to make blog, create a port folio and many more. She have teach about rephrase, how to quotation, to make a references and others. 

I also scared when most of my friend that had taken BELL 311 before told me that this semester your BELL is going to be different in terms of writing the essay. That’s make me wonder. Is that true?? So when I learnt BELL 311 this semester I felt that a bit harder and confusing. Syukur Alhamdulillah Miss Zu has taught us many ways to make us love to attend the class which is she make a game or activity. She also plays a video clip, give cards and others. I think in this way student can remember what kind of game that they play then it is relate with our BELL 311.

Do you think that your writing skills have improved?

I think it being improved in terms of knows the 5 types of writing pattern. I also felt that my spellings have been improved. This is because Miss Zu has asked us to make the term paper essays. So these have taught us how to make a proper writing, In kind of hook for the attraction the readers. My grammar also has getting better than before. To being honest, grammar is the hardest thing to understand but I know it is not Miss Zu or others BELL lectures fault but it is my fault because lazy to learn and know the truth of grammar.

Overall, when I writing a essays especially argumentative essays it will be easier because Miss Zu have teach I from A to Z. Insyaallah with the all that Miss Zu have teach us, I will implied it in my essays in BELL 311 final exam. 

To me Miss Zu have implement all of this good way.

What do you think of expressing your feeling throughout via e-diary (Blogging)

In my view, expressing my feeling throughout via e-diary (Blogging) is the great idea.

1. You can express what do you think, you are right and what are wrong. This maybe will repair our own mistake.
2. You will feel better when you express all what you feel in the blog. So in this way you can feel satisfied.
3. Sometimes express feeling in the blog also have it disadvantages when you feel so angry, you will write a bad word or gossip about someone person. Blogging is open and everyone can read yours. So this will have misunderstanding with the lecturer or a classmate.

What do you expect for examination in BELL 311 subject

Of course when you ask everyone in this University they want to get A+ for their final exam same goes to me. But my expectation is not high because I know my own level. If I want good marks I have to work harder and study smart to get flying colours. 

What does blogging teach you in BELL 311?

In my opinion blogging have teach me a lot in terms if writing, create a proper sentence and grammar. For spelling I have learn a lot of my mistake. This is because when I write an essay or a blog, it will show a green line or a red line. This shown that my spelling is wrong and I have to check my spelling again. After I have done many kind of writing in the Blogging so I have seen that I always have a same mistake in terms of spelling.

In grammar it also will show a line which tells you have a wrong grammar sentence. This have teach me when I have to using eat, ate, eaten. Blogging also make me to find a new word or we call it bombastic word. So I can stop using a same word in every time I post it.

Lastly, blogging make me to see how my friend creates their essays or their writing. I read and I will ask my self. Why she/he great in writing. Why don’t I?? This will make my feeling to compete to follow the right to be better than before.

Goodbye Miss Zu (21 March 2013)

Class cancel AGAIN !! (18 March 2013)

Assalamualaikum,

Class cancel because Miss Zu has a meeting. Actly we must passed up the argumantative essay today. I have done it in saturday. 

 “Women are becoming bolder as well as aggressive and men are more sensitive”

When we talk about men we know that men were born to become a leader in family or country. In this era, we can see men have held the world by become a success person such as Prime Minister, Chief Executive Organization, Pilot and others. Although, men are seen as aggressive, protective and stronger but nowadays, there is strong evidence that women are becoming bolder as well as more aggressive and independent in terms of time management and smarter as compared to men.

Men think being punctual show they are dependable. Some people believe that, they can rely on such a man – if he says he will be there, he’ll be there. But if a man is not punctual, others cannot depend on him, they do not know where he will be when they need him. Brett and Kate (2012) note “I have always been a quarter of an hour before my time, and it has made a man of me”. However, this statement is inconclusive especially when man states being late hurts your professional career. To begin with, women are good in their time management. Women also can easily do multi tasking without getting much stressed out rather men experience symptoms of stress if asked to manage many things at a time. Furthermore, women will prepare half an hour before there go to their works or school. So this has proven that women are more punctual than a man.

Some people believe that, men are smarter than women. Average man more intelligent than the average woman but also a clear and rather startling imbalance emerges between the sexes at the high levels of intelligence that the most demanding jobs require. Richard (2010) states, at the near-genius level (an IQ of 145), brilliant men outnumber brilliant women by 8 to one. Nevertheless, the fact is irrelevant to a woman reaching the higher echelons. Another reason, women actually is smarter compared to man in terms of education. It has been a word while those women are more academic and tend to get far better grades than men. It has been proven now that women really tend to get more educated and have an urge to study more than their counterparts. Surveys have also shown that women graduate more from college than men. Micheal (2012, as cited in James, n.d.) this is the first time in over 100 years women have scored higher IQ tests than men, and it’s likely due to all that multi-tasking women are so gosh-darned good at. Therefore, women are merely a good in education and smarter than men.

Opponents of this idea claim, women need men to guide them in their life and they can live without women. Men believe that he was born a leader and can manage them self when he is alone. Somehow, men can made something as simple as getting dressed painfully difficult. Jeans and a t-shirt even they all look similar. They also believe and just ahead of their time. So, without women also they can live. To a certain extent they are right. Nevertheless he still needs a woman to manage their food and others. Another point, woman is actually more independent. Women have the ability to manage the financial, children, houses, works and others. Sometimes, a man does not know anything because all the life management have manage by a women or wife. Louge (2012) argues, Independence to me means being able to take care of my own needs in a healthy manner, with or without a man. This shown without a man, women can be independent to manage everything.

 In a nutshell, Allah expresses that He created mankind “from a single entity” then created its mate; is “mate” in reference to the woman being created from the substance of man? Furthermore, is the Qur’an implying that the creation of the woman came after the making of the man? Based on the Qur’an we cannot deny that men are made to be with a woman. So, woman must know that a man is important to their life. Some people may even say that women cannot manage their time when there are so busy with their makeup, clothes and children. But what good does this when the women can be more punctual than men. Given the proof that women is become bolder as well as more destructive and self-determining in terms of manage the time and more brilliant compared to men.

Argumentative Essay (13 March 2013)

Assalamualaikum ,

Today class we are going to write about argumentative essay.

I feel syukur Alhamdulillah it’s our type of writing in term paper so we have been expert to do an argumentative essays. *actually not so expert.

We know that argumentative essay is a harder essay because you have to make Pro 1, Refutation and Con 1. The format is a bit harder because we have done the argumentative essays before in BELL 260. Went we learn BELL 260 the format is quick easy because we just using agree, agree, agree then in the conclusion we have to refutation the topic. So in BELL 311 the pattern of argumentative essay is totally different that’s make us harder to use the new pattern. Syukur Alhamdulillah Miss Zu has explained the pattern before we applied to the term paper.

Miss Zu has explained about the type of writing. In the thesis statement, it was using a different way. Then, Miss Zu gives an example of topic essay and Miss Zu asks for a thesis statement... arhh that was scary. Miss Zu wants to see thesis statement that are agreed and disagree with this topic. The scarier thing happen when Miss Zu called my named to present my own thesis statement.

Arhhhhhhhhh. So I present my thesis statement Alhamdulillah Miss Zu satisfied. *fuihhhh J . Same goes to Bariyah

Miss Zu asks us to make a argumentative essay... *-,-

“Women nowadays are aggressive and bolder and men more sensitive”  

We need to pass up this essay next Monday. It was terrible because we have 3 tests, 3 quizzes and 1 speaking test. As a student that we call study, I agree it and promise that we will submit the essay next Monday.

Before we end the class, Miss Zu have told us to make a comment or choose who is the best moderator and panel.

Comment For moderator :

Ezani Zainal, in the beginning she seem a little bit nervous, after 5 minutes she getting okay and become a great moderator.
Atikah Ahmad of course she the best among the rest because she always present with her confidence.
Then, I also like when Nadia Zamri be a moderator, she was so energetic, funny, stylish and also supporting.
When Fikri Ismail be a moderator we know that our class is going to be entertaining because he have present with a "spontan" way.
Bariah Yunos, she have her own confidence. When she have a wrong in pronounsation she just chill like she didn't make any wrong. Her confidence was so high.

I think the best panel is Faiz Adha because he has his own style to talk with the audience.
Rozita also give a great info and a good example when she give a point. Actly all panels is the best for me.

that all for today xoxo PUBLSH !
