Using Technology

Perspective teachers have the difficulties in reflecting themselves to interact with their texts. This makes it more difficult when they have to deal with their students as well. Usually, they know what they have learned in college, but they do not know how to explain them to their students. These prospective teachers have to find a way to make their personal strategies work with their prospective students. In knowing how to respond to the texts, they can apply several ways. For example, they can select their own attention in a text and use the slow-motion process in studying. Technology can also be used to help in learning process such as electronic texts. By using an eBook Reader, it makes their understanding towards some topics easier. Furthermore, the using of electronic texts gives many advantages for their classroom and problematic students.

From my point of view, I am totally agreed with this article. Nowadays, new teachers tend to teach based on the textbooks or their notes. It affects their students’ performance as well if their students cannot see what they are trying to point out, especially when further explanations are not given out. Even they are used to study very hard and get good marks in their college, but in some cases, teachers cannot perform well when they are teaching. Their strategies in teaching are not as good as their general knowledge. However, I have the same problem as these prospective teachers. Although I understand what I have learned, when it comes to explain them, I cannot do as good as what I have known. It will affect my career later on if I do not try to improve myself.

            From several ways that have been given in the article, it can help the problematic prospective teachers in improving their personal strategies of teaching. From selecting the main point from a text, it helps a lot in focusing on the attended topics. I also have the problem with focusing on my studies. Usually, students will get distracted easily and find it is really hard to focus on studying. However, the key of focusing is mainly interest. When we are not interested in something, we find it hard to pay attention on it. Furthermore, by slowing down the reading process, it helps us to understand better. Usually, I have to spend a lot of time in order to better understand some reading materials.

            Prospective teachers also get help by using of technology and the Internet. Electronic texts or eBooks are able to enhance their strategies of teaching. Moreover, it is easier that way when we just click on several choices to get a text. This kind of study gives the potential in classroom and also helps problematic students. In addition, eBooks has a variety of choices which can be searched by the students. For me, they are beneficial not only for teachers, but also for students. It takes time when we have to search throughout a book for a suitable text, but with these electronic texts, we can get it easier.

            From the electronic books they have read, they can discuss it in a group. It is a good experience and information for them. Unfortunately, in my school days, we never had such discussion. I believe this is the best way to improve their knowledge and strategies as well. They have to make their class live and interesting as well. In the future, perhaps there are more uses of technology in the classroom, so these prospective teachers have to master them. Technology helps in finding a wide range of reading materials for their students which bring good benefits for them.

When My Cats Are Eating The Grass

        Most of the people assume that cats eat grass to prevent the injury which will make themselves sick. Moreover, people thought cats may have eaten food that is off. Furthermore, it could be that the cats has swallowed too much hair while grooming themselves and needs to cough up a hairball. While the second theory says that cats eat grass to obtain Folic Acid which cannot be obtained from meat. Third theory points out that grass is rich in chlorophyll which has similar properties to antibiotics and can be a cure to some health problems they faced.The fourth theory states that cats just simply love the taste and enjoy munching the grass.

            All the four reasons are logical and true. I am totally agree with the reasons. In my points of view, seeing cats munch grass quite confusing. They are said not eating this type of food, which disagrees with them. I myself have two cats and they behave the same. When I set foot in the garden, both of them have nibbled on bits of grass. I worry too much and will not let them to eat grass. They will cough after that but still munching the grass. I get mad to see it as I thought they torture themselves. I thought they will get sick and promptly get them away from the grass. After that, I kept an eye on them.  But when they are munching the grass, I have noticed some conditions of why they eat the grass.

            First, I think they are too hungry and ended up eating grass. Being a busy host always make me forget to feed them. As I am always learning to be responsible towards my pets, I will feed them eventually. When I search for them, they are munching grasses with enjoyment and sheer excitement at the lawn. I feel guilty towards them and disgusted at the same time. As it is not their common behaviour like before, I get worried and get them away from the grass. Cats do not have the enzyme needed to digest grass although the amounts they eat are so small. In addition, I am afraid they will get poison from invisible pesticides which may present there. I always get worried too if they keep munching the grass when I am not around or caught something when playing outside. After that, I never forget to feed them and request my family to replace me when I am not around.

            Cats are known as playful pets and always risk themselves. Then I thought they are just being playful as they are created to be. My cats are always busy chasing things, they are rarely catching things. This has been a comfort to me because I do not want them eating anything which will make them sick. But, unfortunately, they are not only eating grass, but will munch any disgusting things like thread, hairs and others. As they will munch almost everything, I persuade myself to not worry when they are munching grass. But still, I will prevent them from munching other things instead of their own food which will agree with them the most for their own safety and health.

            Lastly, from reading, I have discovered that eating the grass helps them to vomit. It is almost the same as the first theory, and I myself have encountered it. When my cats eat the grass, they will cough up and give out the grass again. They are not eating the grass fully, more to munching. Maybe they have eaten things that disagree with them and by eating the grass, it makes them vomit. Perhaps the taste is not that delicious which make them vomit. Cats are said discovered that is too late for them when they have eaten something that disagrees with them. Under these conditions, cats eat grass in order to make them vomit.

            Apart from eating the grass, they look fine. They are cheerful and still full of energy. I will make sure that both of them are totally fine from their weird habits. What is important now is that both of the cats are now perfectly okay. Next time, when I see them munching the grass, simply I have to ignore them. As I have learned that grass is the catalyst to help them, I am totally relieved now when I encounter them munching the grass. 

English is Important

 Briefly, the article is about the importance of language to human beings. A language is the written and spoken methods of combining words to create meaning used by a particular group of people. There are also many theories and assumptions made by several groups regarding language. There are also many examples of written and spoken languages used by people around the world. In this article, it appoints the Indians, where they have mastered English language by their own ways. The Indians are respected by mastering in English language very well. The citizens and the leaders themselves have their own ways to make the Indians master this language. Indians are respectable for this and the other citizens are encouraged to follow them. English as the international language is important to be mastered by people throughout the world. It also stated some of the advantages of mastering English.

In my point of views, language is very important to human beings as it is the basic capacity for them. Without language, people cannot express their ideas and feelings. It is true that language is the code to express ourselves and communicate with other people. However, in my opinion, language is not only in written and spoken methods, it also can be conveyed through gestures or signs. Using face mimic or hands can also be considered as language as people will surely recognize those signs. As long as people can understand it, it can be considered as part of languages.

 As far as we know, English is the international language for people throughout the world. It is important for everyone to master it to make their communications better and easier. For instance, India had been ruled by the British for over two centuries and it gave them an easy access in mastering English language. Nowadays, many Indians are skilled as their authors and movie makers had received prizes and awards. On the other hand, our citizens still cannot master it completely. We share something in common with Indians, where we got the easy access in mastering this language. In my opinion, it is mainly because of our attitudes. Previously, our people did not accept British rules, and completely rejected them. Although the British had brought some benefits to us, we thought it as a misery for them and their generations. Eventually, we got nothing from it as we did not have the chance to learn. 

Fortunately, nowadays, there are some people who aware of this and intend to learn it. There are some people who make us proud such as our leaders. English is also our aid in commercial transactions throughout the globe. It is stated that English has brought laurels to many Indian business managers. Indians travel from North to South for education and business and use English as their language. Furthermore, the Minister of Indian Railways demands teaching of English in schools. Malaysians also had to follow these steps to increase the skill in using English. We have to bear in our mind that English poses no danger to Malay language, like to Indian languages. With English, we also can learn from others’ experiences. Moreover, we can use English to promote our worldview to others. The greatness of Indian view of religion had been accepted by the world. By mastering English, we can promote our view as well and be accepted by other people throughout the world. Then, it can be concluded that it does not require any further argument of the advantages of English at the international level. It has become increasingly essential for us as the medium of communication.

The Yummy Fruitcake

Anna was a chemist at a factory named Amos. One day, accidentally she mixed up her lunch with all the things. She tried it on her as it smelled good. Right after that, her handsome boss complemented her while she knew him as a person who would not even have a second glance on an ordinary girl like her.  A waiter as well fall in love with her. Being confused, she searched for the fruitcake, whose a woman made them, and she had seven husbands! Unfortunately, the woman was dead. 


She was back at the office after two days off work. Sabina was there. When Anna was pissed off, she threw the remaining perfume to the envious lady and quit from her work, and worked as a chemist at the factory who made her favourite perfume.


I was wondering whether such a cake is existed or not? However, this story is funny and interesting. It is focuses on a common chemist on a factory, which ironically is attracting because of fruitcake.
The ending is awesome when the pizza boy they have been talking about at the beginning is really actually having his own company, and like her mother and Aunt Mimi had said, he had fallen in love with Anna.
