Assignment 2 ( Task 2 )

Task 2 : Get a Life

Firstly, I can heard more clearly than task 1(In Your Dream). So, I can more understand what Prof. David Crystal said. But, I still have some words that I can't understand. So, I look for dictionary. Then, I got the meaning for the words. After I have listen to this topic, I also read the transcript. So, I can more understand this task. Through this task, I have improve my listening skills.

In this task, I know that our life not just have to work and study only. On the other hand, we also can choose to enjoy our life. So, we should make our life more meaningful and interesting. Let's go visit Malaysia.

Assignment 2 ( Task 1 )

Task 1 : In Your Dream

After I have listen to this topic, I really can't understand what the Professor said. After I have listen for four times, I still can't understand it clearly. Finally, I read the transcript. So, I can understand it more. I feel unusual with Professor Crystal slang and pronunciation. Besides that, he also speak very fast. So, I can't understand this before I read the transcript. In this task, I have a few word I don't know. But, I have check it with my dictionary.

I disagree with this topic because everyone should have a dream in their life. "Where you have dream, there you have hope." It is because the dream will come true if you hardworking ang do your best. Who knows???
