Here I am

This picture was taken when both of us were having an outbound program. My brother, right now, is attending his college for English educational program. I was surprised when he finally decided to take English for his major as he only knew little about English. However, he shows that he has a good enthusiasm to study. He sometimes asked me a lots that made me confuse to make him happy with the answer. While studying, he also practiced his English by teaching in an English course.
Now, he has opened his new life career by giving private teaching to some students in our area. I sometimes feel jealous because now he has more students than I do. LOL. However, I should give him an appreciation for being a better English student.
I am sure that everyone has different dreams. I do have different dream with my brother. However, we take the same path to go on and reach what we dream. I am also very much sure that no matter  how big your dream is, the important thing is that we dare to dream and try to make our dream come true. Good luck bro!!

Meeting foreigners is fun

Try to notice the picture beside. How cute they are. I think everyone who likes kitten will say so. I had some experiences that made me feel the same way like I adore the picture. here it is. I went to make some of papers photocopied. I stopped and entered the shop. I saw two foreign young ladies. one of them was sitting just right at shop window while the other one was busily helping the shop assistant. I tried to talk to them by asking how hot that day was. knowing that I spoke English they responded me nicely. I was wondering why one of girls was photocopying by herself, then I asked her why she did so. I finally knew that it was just because the shop assistant could not communicate with them.
A few months later, I went to shopping center. I met a family who seemed to get lost. they were trying to ask the the shop assistant to show them something they were looking for. I took a pity of them because they could not get a help. I approach them and asked whether i could help them. surprisingly, they were just looking for peanuts.
I laughed by my heart, it was so embarrassing to know that we, as the host of this country, could not serve the tourist who visited this country well. It really opens my eyes that the need of English is really important just to welcome everyone from abroad who comes to this country whose language is not Indonesia.. what do you think?

step one

Technology has been a part of human necessary. Since getting up and starting a new day, people can't be separated with tools that provide an access of information. People seems to be dependent on hand phone or access of internet to keep in touch with others. However, it is debatable issue that happens in our life whether technology gives good effect on people's life or influences the youth with a inappropriate and bad culture. As a knowledge window, people can see anything that occur throughout the world. Therefore, it is suggested to young learners to know and learn wisely about the technology they are going to deal with.
Internet, particularly, provides some accounts which enable people to converse each other. People easily sign up to make their own accounts. Yahoo messenger has been known as the first provider to chat and share with others before people then know and use facebook, twitter, frindster, blog etc. Furthermore, such providers have improved the ways how to create the accounts that people prefer to. The way to sign up in a certain account is available in the native language where people live. For an instance, people who live in Indonesia will be able to create an account guided with Indonesian language. It gives advantages to the youth especially chidren under age of 12 in which they are categorized as followers to create an account easily. It is underestimated that they misuse or being misused by irresponsible person. A suffician knowledge is required. What is meant by suffician knowledge is that whoever who want to make an account shoud understand the good and bad thing that may appear in their life and future
