Procrastination is a thief of time

Image
Procrastination is very common among us. I am pretty sure that all of us, as a human being ever commit procrastinate when doing our work, task and assignments. What is the main reason we tend to be a procrastinate person? The answer is because of laziness. I have been assigned to write this personal journal by my beloved lecturer who teaches English Studies. I strongly agree with this undeniable quote or we can say it as a fact. Why? First of all, have you ever been in a condition where you postpone you work till the eleventh hour and at last, you are not able to complete your task and cause you a great problem? If your answer is yes, you have committed procrastination. How painful it can be when we commit procrastination. Then, let’s move to a novel written by Chinua Achebe. Before I give my critical comments about this, I just want to share with you something. When I first heard about this author’s name, I feel that his name is quite interesting and I keep mentioning his name....

How To Be An Effective Learner?

Image
Hello and hi to my deary friends.  Before I proceed to write about my post for today, I just want to ask all of you here. Have you ever think that your way of learning is effective enough? How to know that your way of learning is effective? As for me, you are considered as an effective learner when you are able to know and understand what your teachers or lecturers have taught you about in a long period. Meaning, you are able to bear in your mind what kind of new knowledge that you have gained at anytime when you are being questioned. But, I'm pretty sure that there are some of us who will study in order to pass their exam, they do not bother if they can keep the knowledge in a long period. There are some suggestions of mine to be an effective learner. First of all, if we want to be an effective learner in our lecture or class,   you must prepare yourself   on what kind of topic that will be taught to you. The term 'prepare' here means you are aware...

COMMENT ON THE USES OF NON-BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC BAGS IN MALAYSIA

BY: PutriAlya  Date: 2/7/13 I have come across to write about the uses of the plastic bags in Malaysia. Before this, I do not really care about this kind of issue as I do not know very much about the effects and do not bother to save our earth. But, today, I have gained a lot of information about the impact of using non-biodegradable plastic bags and how they can 'help' the earth to cry. Actually, plastic bags can cause a lot of negative effects for the living organisms. First of all, plastic bags take thousand years to be decomposed and can we imagine how many years it will take for hundred of plastic bags? What will happen to the soil? Of course, the decomposition of these plastic bags will cause the soil to become unfertile. When the soil becomes unfertile, it is not suitable to plant any crops. To those who survive by selling these goods, they will experience loss. Can you see how this small action can lead to this consequence? If we, ourselves, feel responsible enough ...

ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY

SHOULD STUDENTS BE ALLOWED TO GRADE THEIR TEACHERS? by: PutriAlya Date: 2/7/2013 Students and teachers are two of the important elements in a world of education. Teachers are the educators that can influence their students very well either good influence or bad influence. So, in that case, students and teachers must have a good relationship and like each other especially for the students themselves. One of the way to detect either a teacher is using the right teaching method or not is by grading them. For me, the students should grade their teachers because we are able to know either they like their teachers or not. This is because, when the students like their teachers, they tend to be more focus during the learning session. This is good for the students themselves as they can learn something new in a faster way. We have heard  that a person with delightful and attractive character can attract and encourage the others to do something. Same goes to the students. Apart from ...
