Personally my achievement nowadays are very bad all over in English. Either reading or writing, listening or speaking and the most bad in vocabulary. I look like student year three. I realized that my skill and performance are same to them, with one exception I'm bigger than them. I think so!I'm reading very slowly and I will go to one by one words. Rerely I don't know what does the words mean. I just understand for a little only. So I will check them in my dictionary to find their meaning and continue my read. It make me feel bored to finish the read finally.In writing, I don't have any skills in this. Always I have an idea but don't know how to explain them in English version. I also have a problem in grammar. So the past tense will be a present tense and the sentences will be desultory. However I can be a good listener. But only in a clear and slowly spoken. If someone speak very fast maybe I just can catch a little words.I can't speak fluently in English. I can understand what people are saying but my tongue already stuck to reply them.I have a trouble in increasing my vocabulary. It means I have a trouble in English development too. It is because vocabulary is the most important thing in learning English. So increasing the vocabulary must be as important as it's grammar. But I can't do that. Maybe I don't know how to learn it in the easier way.During presentations, I feel so nervous. Also scared and ashamed if my words got wrong. Sometimes I know what would to say but everything will be wrong in front of the class or audience.I like participating in discussions. I can give my idea and opinion. Even I can't be the writer because I have a broken English but I'm happy with the coorperation that I given.In English classes, I like reading activity because I can learn the new vocabulary and I will know the meaning for a little words that I didn't hear before this. Also I can learn how to mention each words in the correct phrase. I don't like writing activity because I don't have any vocabulary and just know a little about grammar. So, for me this activity very hard to done in the class.From: Norhayati SallehA104878

Task2: BlogEverything are change very fast, that's how fast the internet moves. What is a blog? I think it can be an unpersonal diary. I disagree with Professor Crystal's opinion. Because we are share everything to the whole world about our activities, interests and opinion and so on with our friends. How it could be a personal diary?In task 2, I've got the same problem with task 1. I'm still can't hear each words clearly. I didn't catch every words he had said. And I had learned four new vocabulary in this short talk.From: Norhayati SallehA104878

Task 1: In Your DreamIn this task, I realized I can't heard clearly for some words that Professor Crystal had said. Maybe because it is the new words for me and he spoke very fast to me. I detected four new words that I didn't know their meant. But I will check them in my dictionary! Over all I agree with him that dreams make someone being unrealistic, very optimistic and very hopeful their dreams will become true one day. Maybe it will be tomorrow, next week or next month. I don't know.From: Norhayati SallehA104878
