Went to Village by Motorcycle

Last year, I went to village by motorcycle with my cousin who studied at Unsyiah. She had to go to our senior high school to meet our headmaster because there was something to discuss. Se asked me to accompany her. She asked in sudden that made me difficult to make the decision. She asked me on Friday noon and we had to go on Saturday morning. After that, I called my parents to ask permission from them and they permitted me. Then, I called her back to inform her that my parents permitted me. She went to my sister’s house which I live in Banda Aceh in order could to leave tomorrow in the early morning. On Saturday morning after praying Subh we leaved because we had to be at School at 09.00 a.m. The headmaster waited for us around that time because he had the other business and had to go to the other place.
We arrived at school at 08.50 a.m. we were be on time. There, we met our teachers. I was so happy to meet them. I miss them so much, especially my English teacher who always motivated me. They asked me about my study during in the university. We were there until 11.30 a.m. After my cousin finishing her business with the headmaster, we went home.
The day after that day, we had to go back to Banda Aceh because we had class on Monday morning. That made us so tired. Only 1 day in our village. We still miss our parents. We planned to go back after doing Ashar prayer, but my parents did not permit me because at that time was the rainy day. They were afraid we were wet because of rain. Finally, we went back after doing Dhuhur prayer.

That was the first time I went from Banda Aceh to my village by motorcycle. Commonly, my parents never permitted me if I asked to go back by motorcycle with my friends. May be because of the sudden need of my cousin and there was another solution. Although I felt tired, but it was so fun.

Summary of 'The Linguistic Genius of Babies' by Patricia Kuhl

Patricia Kuhl tells about a mother in India speaks Koro which is a newly-discovered language. She is talking to her baby. What this mother and the 800 people who speak Koro in the world understand that to preserve this language they need to speak it to the babies because babies and children are geniuses until they turn seven years old. The first critical period in development is the period where babies master which sound is used in their language. There are two things going on during the critical two month period, the first is that the babies are listening intently to us and they are taking statistics as they listen to us talk. Babies are sensitive to the statistics. For example, two mothers speaking motherese to the kids, English and Japanese. So, when babies listen, the babies are taking statistics on the language that they hear. The statistics of Japanese and English is very different. English has a lot of R and L. Whereas the group of intermediates sounds in Japanese is known as t...

Summary of 'Txtng is Killing Language' by John McWhorter

John McWhorter tells that texting spells the decline and fall of any kind of serious literacy or at least writing ability among young people in the United States and now the whole world today. Texting is not writing at all. If humanity had existed for 24 hours, writing only came along at about 11:07 p.m. That is how much of a latterly thing of writing. The first there is a speech, and then writing comes along as a kind of artifice. Speech is much looser. It’s much more telegraphic, much less reflective, it’s very different from writing. In a distant are now, it was common when one gave a speech to basically talk like writing. If we can speak like writing, then logically it follows that you might want to also sometimes write like we speak. One we have think that can receive the message then we have the conditions that allow that we can write like we speak, and that’s where texting comes in. Texting is very loose in its structure. No one think about capital letters or punctuation when o...

The Origin of Studying in English Majors

Many of them advised me to choose English majors in this university. The ir reason was   English majors does not cause unemploy ment because English is an i nternational language that can be used anywhere. Also, English majors in this university has accreditation ‘A’. Actually, I really liked Chemistry and Mathematics subjects since in junior high school, even in senior high school I always have high scores in th ose subjects.

They also agree with my teachers’ choice. But I doubt because I have no basi c on it . However, I said in my heart " I would to try first, I believe I can live it ". The ...
