God asked His Prophet to read the Holy Qur'aan

God asked His prophet to read the Holy Qur'aan. It meant that we should read first to know more about everything. You know how important to read and read to increase your knowledge. but how some people think that a reading activity is a boring activity and so simple so we can do this activity deeply.

Can be a nice hobby but can be a nightmare

Reading is an easy activity to do. Just take a book or magazine or newspaper that you like then open it. But if you don't do it as a habit, you will be trapped by it. It can be a nightmare while you have an English test.

Read Mind

Some people asked me why I choose to know more about mind. I like reading and one of my reading focus is mind. Mind is the same as book, full of challenge. So it is an interesting activity to read mind through scanning and skimming just like while we are reading a book.

Communicate through mind

Some people say it's good if you can communicate through your mind. But how? Just concentrate on your mind and connect to the one that you want. Then focus yourself to the person you want to communicate. After that, just concentrate and say something through your mind. Insha Allah the person you want to communicate  will read your mind and know what you need.

How to start writing a novel

Some people are confused how to start making a novel. Just simple. Find something different that you want to tell clearly. After that, find a topic that you want to make, then find the supporting ideas.Make into good composition. So your chapters are the same or stable. After that, try to choose the ending, happy ending or sad ending. Then let's start.

Still need time to improve

Yesterday (June 23.2011) was the time for level 3 of medical students to take their TOEFL test results. From 32 participants, there was only one who got the target more than 450 scores. One of them came to us (as the lecturers) and asked us,"Can we take another test outside?"  We have already known what she meant. It meant that she wanted to buy another certificate without taking test so hard again. Why should she or other students take that way while they still have time to take and study again. They need to reach the target for their graduation but they will graduate next year. They still have time. But why don't they think about study to reach the goal so they will get more, not only get better scores but they will get some knowledge. Okh, come on!

Try to concentrate on what you think will make your dream comes true

If you believe in what you will get, you will get it. But it is hard to do it. First, make your mind sure what you will reach. Then, think it so hard and pray. After that, just do it to reach it. Finally, Insha Allah, God will make it true.

My disappointed experience while I was teaching kindergarten students.

As a language worker who works in teaching and learning English language, i have so many experiences. One of them while i was teaching kindergarten students. It is not easy to make them pronounce all words correctly. But it seemed that the headmaster needs them to be perfect.

This was my case  this semester, I have given them three songs to be sung. But while there was an evaluation from the headmaster, she asked and judged the students that they couldn't study more songs. Just one but so focus. Without any permission from me, they cut my teaching lesson about songs. How upset and disappointed I was! We can't judge these children, and it's better to give them chance to study more and present their ability in front of public.

The old friends are always the best than your new friends

Sometimes when we have a problem with our closed friends, we try to find or run away from them. Then we try to find a new place while we can put and share our hearts so peaceful. You never realize that is a big mistake because we never know what kind of people that we find in a new place. In an old place, you have  communicated and interacted each other and have known deep in your heart and their heart, but we never know about the new ones. Never put your ego in your heart. Communication is the best. While you have made a good communication with your old friends, it will be safe for  your life better than the new ones that you never have a good communication before.

How to express your lefty feeling

God creates his creatures in His way. We never know that for every one that has different style. In this case, as a lefty person, I have found so many barriers that ordinary people think it's my weakness. They never realize that as a lefty, i have so many different ways in my day lifetime. It's very different, how i can speak while every righty person thinks it's not a good time. I hope in this blog I can arrange and make some important things to communicate for lefty people.

The characters in a story

One thing but so important to write a novel is the characters. The protagonists (good people) and antagonists (bad people), then find the setting of your story, it can be in the present, future or in the past, or mix. Next, the location.

Sudin came home in sadness. It made his father sad. He asked his son,"What is happening to you, my boy?"

Sudin answered,"How happy Guntur is!" 

Ahmad, Sudin's father was surprised and asked him,"Why?"

Sudin said,"Guntur can speak English, French well but me not."

Ahmad  said,"You can too, my boy."

Sudin said,"No, never."

Ahmad  was confused and asked Sudin,"Why?"

Sudin answered,"Because Guntur's father is a diplomat and my dad is not. So he can go abroad and speak English and French."

Digging a new hole to hell

If you are frustrated of not getting the goal, don't try to follow the bad direction. If you think that as a beginner level student is not possible to get the target of TOEFL test, don't follow your friends' or seniors' direction to pay for the score. It means you will dig a new hole to hell. You have to realize that studying language is very important for your future not only for the requirement of your graduation time, but also for your application to your future. REMEMBER THAT, NEVER DIG A HOLE TO HELL!

Make a move

If you think that increasing scores in TOEIC, or TOEFL or IELTS is difficult, just try to run away from it. It doesn't mean that you will forget your problem then you will get the highest score. In this case, you forget your sadness of not getting the target and waking up from it and finding another solution.

Studying a foreign language is a process

If we don't use a second language beside our mother language every day, for someone who never has a good exposure in a foreign language, he or she will have a problem to improve his or her language. It needs a process, as long as the environment around his or her will support his or her effort.
