nih contoh karangan seorg student...hehehe...

I would ask my father to buy NIKO because of various reasons. First, the price is cheaper and not too expensive. Its cost is only RM800. The weight is 1 kg and very light. It has many types of colours. I like blue colour, so I can choose the blue colour. When I buy it, I can get a phone line for one year. Based on the above reasons, I think I have made the right choice.

Contoh esei setelah dimurnikan...

I would ask my father to buy NIKO because of various reasons. (1 mark)
First, the price is cheaper compare to Canon. Its cost is only RM800. Secondly, the weight is 1 kg and very light compare the other camera. It has many types of colours. I like blue colour, so I can choose the blue colour. Furthermore, when I buy it, I can get a phone line for one year since I don't have one yet. Based on the above reasons, I think I have made the right choice.

cheaper n not too expensive = redundant...sama jer...
bila kasik info, kasik elboration..penerangan...dpt 2 markah...

I enjoy this forum because it can provide good effect on me. I could receive and hand out informations.

Maybe, some people can play around and have fun with their life but not so for me.  Life is so short, there are many things to accomplish and acquire.

Today I have to evaluate some banners for ‘Merdeka’ banner competition.  You will never know how creative some students can be until you saw their effort.

Just now, my auntie phoned me to fetch and send her to my uncle's house.  My uncle will be going for ‘Umrah’ tonight. I better be quick before she starts her nag nag nag…

Yes bulan you are rite.actually there are many ways to improve your level of English.

Read it -- Read as many English books, newspapers and magazines as you can find.even u dun undertand....mok nik recommend the English version of the monthly magazine READERS DIGEST. It has short stories and articles.

Listen to it - Try some of the radio stations and TV

Talk It - Talk to friends who are also learning English. Make a rule that perhaps for an hour, or when you go out together, you will only speak English to each other! Find native English-speaking people who will give you conversation practice.

Do you realize that English is an easy language to start learning, because it has no genders. Apart from people, all objects are 'neuter', not 'masculine' or 'feminine'. So you say 'it' for such things, and do not need to learn any genders.

it usually has easy verb endings. Apart from a few 'irregular' verbs, verb endings are easy, and hardly change.

adjectives remain the same for all words - there are no different endings to learn.

the singular and plural pronoun 'you' is the same. There is no need to decide whether to use a polite form, or an intimate form, when speaking to someone.

after mok nik reading a few posting here, mok nik asked myself what's wrong with our English Study. Many people complain that we don't have the language environment, but in my opinion, it is our education system that is to blame. In Malaysia, colleges and university choose students only by their scores on the SPM or STPM Examination. As a result, the education system has become an examination-oriented system. Under this system, parents only care what scores their children get instead of how much knowledge they really have. The teachers only teach what is useful for getting high marks.

As for English study, in order to prepare for all kinds of examinations, we always recite new words, memorize grammar rules, and do endless exercise, but never use it. That is the reason why we become deaf and dumb when we have to use English. However, it will take a long time to reform our education system. What we should do now is to hold in our mind this: the only purpose of studying English is to use it.
