'turned' got ed meh??hmmm i didnt know it.Could you please explain.

One more thing,do you think by reading newspaper can enhance our english proficiency??

I read quite a lot of novels but still become old me(ditakuk lama).Do I have to memorize , I really dont understan how can someone like you become good in writing.Back to my old days duirng secondary school,i had no idea how they became such as good writer.

I am always daydreaming one day i can be a good story teller and a good writer too.

Frankly speaking,i am also started to speak english with my friends.But then,people tend to get bored while waiting for me to finish one sentence.It's hard to speak fast like a native speaker

I enjoy watching movies,therefore sometimes i imitate the way the speaker talks and i dont even look at the subtitles.At first ,its hard not to read the subtitle,then i slowly get used to it, i still remember last time ,i took A4 paper and pasted it on tv till my dad saw it and i had been scolded..huhu.That's one of the way how i broaden the language.

Recently, i come across several words that people have make those words as trend,so i need your help to explain,when to use 'as well'(i know end of sentence and when u have many example that match each).Another word is 'frankly'(totally do not know,but i assume it is as same as ' terus terang')

wow such a long essay..huhu..sorry,dont realize it.

we can be fluent in english or
we can improve our proficiency in english
it didn't help much
Do I have to memorize the content?
understand (spelling)
can be good in writing
back to my old school days
I often
that one day
Actually, I also started to converse in English with my friends
(Frankly speaking - not suitable in this context)
actor
it's quite hard not to read the subtitles
an A4 paper
and he scolded me.
ways
came
used as a trend
explain about it.
examples
it means


*******************************************************************************

turned - because it's past tense of turn -
bobo originally was an engineer -- then he changed his
career to be a teacher - thus - an engineer turned to teacher

actually, imho, reading any articles, books, magazines.. can improve our english -
we will be exposed with more words, some we might unheard of, we will re read
similar context of sentences, we also will get used to the usage of the grammar -
so.. those can really help us to be fluent in english -

however, converse in english also is very important - it is okay to make a mistake
because that's how we learn to be better - from mistakes -

the word as well can be used in two different context -

you can write:
if u don't like shopping might as well you just go to sleep

i hate chocolate and i don't like cookies as well..

the word frankly can be used such as in this sentence:

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn..(that's a famous quote from rhett butler..lol )

or - frankly speaking, you are such a whiner!!

sunshine.. you can write as long as you like ....
however, you can shortened the sentences.. it will make it easier for you too -

Thank you

mba

well good on you...share the knowledge with the rest of the forumers. Some people can converse but very bad in writting...So for me lets make it short and simple and make sure the other party understand what u try to say.

I came across this sentence in The Star newspaper ,I'm curious why not one excuse instead of one excuses?

From what i understand if single ,for example " she walks" , "they walk"

but this sentence is not referring to behavior,isn't it?

aargh my english is worst!!

What does this mean?

party pooper :  someone who spoils the pleasure of others

take the plunge >>> it is an idiom  means : to begin an unfamiliar venture, especially after hesitating

for example : After a three-year engagement, they're finally taking the plunge.

it is there ,under the ads banner..i have underlined the words with red color.

How about urban chic? Does this mean modern chic?

I browse through thesaurus of similar word for urban and it states there urban similar rural(kampung area )

Could you explain more?

queenlatifa

this is the disease in this forum.people like this should live in another place instead of live in a community.what is the purpose of doing this i really don't understand.what is your action instead of turn their status into beggar,dexa?

Hey there...

At last i own a blog after a few attempts was unsuccessful.Previously,i had 2 blogs but then i was abused by stalkerazzi.Someone had intruded on my blog privacy.Therefore,I shut it until i got new guts to start blogging again.


All of a sudden, i have had this feeling to have a baby.It is funny right??I am still not married.I long to get married..huhauhauahu..what a ridicilous daydreaming.I start to think where i should schooling my children.After rowsing here and there,I would recommend Smart Reader.I found out all these kids can read books as early as 3 years old.That's impressive.The fees each month is rm 250 excluded concert activity,curricular.The total amount per annum is rm3000.
