English is one of the difficult subject that i have learned. Although it is difficult subject i still need to learn it because all subjects that i studying now is in English. So, no matter how hard or difficult this subject is i must try my best to master in this subject. I am not an excellent student in this subject but English is my favourite subject compared to the other subjects. English is divided into four skills which is speaking, writing, reading, and listening. To be excellent student in this subject i need to master in all skills in English and i have put my rigorous effort to master this subject in all skills.
To improve my English in reading, i have tried a few ways like try to read at the right level. I read something that i can understand. If i read something that difficult and need to stop every three words to look in the dictionary, it will discouraged me to continue my reading. Besides, i also make a note of new vocabulary. If there are four or five new words on a page, i will write them in my vocabulary book. But i don't write them while i read. Instead, i try to guess their meaning as i read. I will mark them with a pen, then come back when i have finished reading to check in a dictionary and add them to my vocabulary book. I also try to read regularly and read something that make me interest.
In listening, i was listened to English songs regularly and watch English movies with different ascents. By this way i can make myself adapted to others ascents in English quickly. Besides that, i also served the websites that you gave to us to listen to the native speakers and answers the questions in it to measure my understanding.
Read short stories out loud and try to see, say and hear the words to reinforce my memory. I also record myself and play it back later and hear how does it sound. Besides, i talk to friends who are also learning English and only speak English to each other. This are my effort to improve my English in speaking.
After put all efforts in reading, speaking and listening indirectly i have put my efforts to improve my writing. This is because all these three skills connected to writing skills like read English article regularly, listen to the English songs, speak in English with friends and others.
I hope with all this efforts, i will be excellent students in this subject.

My Eid Experience
2007 0r this year eid celebration has brought different experienced for me because it is differ from my previous eid celebration. Before this, i will come home a week before the eid and can do many preparation to celebrate eid like went shopping. I will buy my new clothes, shoes, and others on my own. I also made kuih raya and has a lot of time to break the fast with my family. However, this year is totally different because i only came ome two day before the eid. I does not have opportunity to buy my new clothes and stuffs on my own for the eid. We also did not made any kuih raya this year because everybody was busy with their work and we just buy it. My mother also not have enough time to sew our clothes because need to take care of my fourth brother at hospital. He has broke his leg in accident five months ago but need to be operated again two weeks before the eid because his leg was affected. We are very lucky because no need to celebrate the eid at the hospital. The celebration this year also not happening like before because my second brother was sailed to Vietnem. Beside that, my third brother also need to go work at the morning of the eid.
During the first day of the eid, just like another families we went o mosque to perform eid prayer. After that we went home and guests came to our house. In the morning we did not went anywhere because many guests came to our house and the number of guests this year was increased. Besides kuih raya, we also served lemang, sate, nasi minyak and others. Only in the afternoon, i got the opportunity to go to my neighbours and my friends house. Although at the night, the guests still come to our house to celebrate the eid besides to visit my sicked brother and the situation still same until i came back to UNITEN....

DNA sample
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information and DNA is often compared to a set of blueprints, since it contains the instructions needed to construct other components of cells, such as proteins and RNA molecules. The DNA segments that carry this genetic information are called genes, but other DNA sequences have structural purposes, or are involved in regulating the use of this genetic information.
Chemically, DNA is a long polymer of simple units called nucleotides, with a backbone made of sugars and phosphate groups joined by ester bonds. Attached to each sugar is one of four types of molecules called bases. It is the sequence of these four bases along the backbone that encodes information. This information is read using the genetic code, which specifies the sequence of the amino acids within proteins. The code is read by copying stretches of DNA into the related nucleic acid RNA, in a process called transcription. Most of these RNA molecules are used to synthesize proteins, but others are used directly in structures such as ribosomes and spliceosomes.
Within cells, DNA is organized into structures called chromosomes and the set of chromosomes within a cell make up a genome. These chromosomes are duplicated before cells divide, in a process called DNA replication. Eukaryotic organisms such as animals, plants, and fungi store their DNA inside the cell nucleus, while in prokaryotes such as bacteria it is found in the cell's cytoplasm. Within the chromosomes, chromatin proteins such as histones compact and organize DNA, which helps control its interactions with other proteins and thereby control which genes are transcribed.

Season
A season is one of the major divisions of the year, generally based on yearly periodic changes in weather. In temperate and polar regions generally four seasons are recognized: spring, summer, autumn (fall), and winter. In some tropical and subtropical regions it is more common to speak of the rainy (or wet, or monsoon) season versus the dry season, as the amount of precipitation may vary more dramatically than the average temperature. In other tropical areas a three-way division into hot, rainy and cool season is used. In some parts of the world, special "seasons" are loosely defined based upon important events such as a hurricane season, tornado season or a wildfire season.
The seasons result from the Earth's axis being tilted to its orbital plane; it deviates by an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees. Thus, at any given time during summer or winter, one part of the planet is more directly exposed to the rays of the Sun. This exposure alternates as the Earth revolves in its orbit. At any given time, regardless of season, the northern and southern hemispheres experience opposite seasons. Seasonal weather fluctuations also depend on factors such as proximity to oceans or other large bodies of water, currents in those oceans, El Nino/ENSO and other oceanic cycles, and prevailing winds.

Astronaut
An astronaut or cosmonaut is a person trained by a human spaceflight program to command, pilot, or serve as a crew member of a spacecraft. While generally reserved for professional space travelers, the term is sometimes applied to anyone who travels into space, including scientists, politicians, journalists, and tourists.
The first human in space was Russian Yuri Gagarin, who was launched into space on April 12, 1961 aboard Vostok 1. The first woman was Russian Valentina Tereshkova, launched into space in June 1963 aboard Vostok 6.Alan Shepard became the first American and second person in space on May 5, 1961, while the first American woman in space was Sally Ride, during Spac Shuttle Challenger's mission STS-7, on June 18, 1983. The youngest person to fly in space is Russian Gherman Titov, who was 25 years old when he flew Vostok 2. (Titov was also the first person to suffer space sickness). The oldest person who has flown in space is John Glenn, who was 77 when he flew on STS-95. The longest stay in space was 438 days, by Russian Valeri Polyakov.As of 2006, the most spaceflights by an individual astronaut is seven, a record held by both Jerry L. Ross and Franklin Chang-Diaz. The furthest distance from Earth an astronaut has traveled was 401,056 km, during the Apollo 13 emergency. Now our country also has sent our first astronaut Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar B. Dato’ Sheikh Mustapha Shukor to ISS by Soyuz through Russia.

Newspapers
A lot of people read newspapers when they are travelling to and from work. It's good to have some thing to read on the train or the bus, and newspapers are easy to carry around with you. Newspapers don't just tell the news, they also contain a lot of other interesting information, such as films and music reviews, and gossip about famous people.
At the weekend, the papers have lots of different sections, for example about new ways to decorate your house, ideas for holidays, or new recipes. Many people like to read the papers while they are having breakfast in the morning.
For many people, especially young people, their main source of news now the Internet. They can read about the latest news online as soon as it happens. They can also visit their favourite websites to look for other stories that might interest them. If they want they can also get the news from the television or the radio. In many ways it is surprising that newspapers are still so popular.
Nobody knows what will happen to newspapers in the future, but for the moment they are very much still part of our lives.

Mind mapping
Mind mapping is one of the most important thing in learning.....It is about 75% of students identify themselves as visual learner....So visual mapping or mind mapping is an excellent learning tool...Mind mapping is mapping the chapter as we preview it provides a visual guide to how different chapter ideas fit together...While we are previewing,we use either branching or a wheel structure...In the wheel structure,we place the central ideas at the center in the circle and the central ideas can be the title or introduction to the chapter...The other ideas are place on the spokes emanating from the circle...In the branching map,the main idea goes at the top and followed by following ideas on the second tier and so on...For a better mind mapping we can use different colour of pen while making the mind mapping...
I Have a Dream
I have a dream......Everybody must have their own dream...My dream since i am still a little girl is to be a great teacher to my student....For the first time in my life when my English teacher in primary school asked me what i want to be when i finish my study and f course i said i want to be a teacher.......Actually i don't know why i want to be teacher...But there are some good feeling when i taught other person like my friends and the most valuable feelings is when they understood what i taught them.....Otherwise,I also want to share with others about my knowledge and i think to be a teacher is a right decision if i want to do this.....I also can always improve my knowledge and learn something new if i am a teacher.....
The Greenhouse Effect
Nowadays there are many environmental problems and many of us believed that the way we live our lives today was bring a lot of damaged to our environment such as greenhouse effect...The greenhouse effect is the gradual warming of the Earth caused by pollutions that stops heat from leaving the Earth's atmosphere like pollution from cars,factories and power stations...They are causing harmful greenhouse gases to build up in the Earth's atmosphere ...These gases prevent heat from escaping and as a result our planet is getting warmer...This process is known as Global Warming..Global warming is causing the ice at the North and South Poles to melt and sea levels and sea temperatures to rise...It is leading to serious violent storms and flooding in many parts of the world....In other places ,there will be less rain and become drought....
FILMS
Films is a series of moving pictures recorded with sound that tells a story shown on television or at cinema or movie theater...There are a lot of types of films like comedy,romantic comedy,thriller,action films,war films and others....Everybody must have their own favourited films...My favourited films was English films like The Bourne Identity,Rush Hour 1,2 and 3,Harry potter,The Jackal and others....But the most favourited films is The Bourne Identity...The Bourne Identity is a thriller film that story about Jason,the young man who was lost his memory when was saved by a group of fisherman in the middle f the ocean....Although he has lost his memory,but he has the ability in martial arts and all of this made him more curious about himself...His mission is to find out his identity back but it is not easy to him because he had to face many difficulties...I prefer English films because of the storyline...They have many films that have good and interesting storyline...Besides,the quality of the films also good and they have many talented actor and actress....
Pressure
Pressure??What is mean by pressure?Pressure is difficulties and feelings of anxiety that are caused by the problems in life...Everybody will be under pressure if faced with the problems...When we are under pressure,our body undergoes rapid physiological,behavioral and emotional changes..Our rate of breathing may become more rapid and shallow..We also may experience in changing our ability to think such as confusion,trouble in concentrating and hard to remember thing...Otherwise,our emotions will not stable like always feel scare,anxiety,depress and anger...We also may have insomnia or wake up to early and not be able to go back to sleep.....But there are ways to manage pressure like e in good shape physically and mentally...When our body and mind are healthy it will help ourself against pressure...This means that we need to pay attention to diet,exercise,sleep and mental health....With all of this we can avoid ourselves from pressure.....

Natural Resources
We have a lot of natural resources in our country like solar power,coal,forests,oil,water and others....All of these natural resources was contributed a lot to our country especially in economy...Just like petroleum was one of the biggest source of our country economy...Our country maybe will not developed like today if not because of these natural resources....So we need to take care our natural resources to maintain their contribution to us...We can see nowadays people was not really cared about natural resources and some of them was not realized about their benefit to us...Without these natural resources we are nothing....There are two types of natural resources and they are renewable and non renewable resources....We have both of this resources in our country...Renewable resources are like solar and wind power...For non renewable are like minerals such as petroleum,oil and coal...We must be aware because if the non renewable was finished we will lost one of the most important source of economy in our country...So we must get ready to face this condition....
Cities
Our country,Malaysia now was a developed country.....Although our country was not very big but there are many cities in our country...Life in cities was very different with life in villages...When we live in cities everybody just do their own business and not cared about other person...This is maybe everybody was busy with their worked and not have enough time to care about another person...But there are also some people in the cities just not do their own business because they think that people cannot live just on their own....This is because we live in same country and of course we will need each other if something happened and we also shared same resourced....We cannot blamed the person that just do their own business because they may have their own reasoned....So there is no matter whether we live in cites or villages we still need each other and one day the person that just ignored about this will noticed about this because we are human nature.....
The King and I
All of you must wondering what will i write about this title....Some of you must think that this title is about me...Actually this title has nothing about me and this is a title to a classic English movie.....This movie is about an English teacher and the king of Siam....Anna the English teacher that was hired by the king to teach the royal kids...Since her appearance,everything was started to change...All of the kids and wives of the king loved her very much and maybe the king also...The king is a good person and likes to learn new things and cultures from other kingdom...But he also has weaknesses...He is quite arrogant and egoist....The synopsis of this movie is how the king ruled his kingdom and developed his kingdom to be much better by learned another kingdom cultures and rules...This movie has a lot of moral values and good to watch...
