For my last entry, I will dedicate this picture to my beloved lecturer Miss Zu. Keep it as memory Miss Zu. We will always miss every precious time for 14 weeks being with you. Thank you for everything Miss Zu! I love you from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely <3  

This is our last class and we did some blog viewing for selected person. Everyone started to laugh when Afiq showed his blog. He just ignore with all the grammatical errors and without guilty he use our language like 'sumpah nak nangis' and all the nonsense. He is very slumber but luckily we have him. He always make us laugh and happy. Is that correct Miss Zu? Haha, I don't know but that is my perception, and last night, our class had been cancelled but Miss Zu had asked us to write a letter to give comment about Miss Zu's lecture and the letter would be secret between Miss Zu and me. Sorry guys, I can't share this letter with you all. 

For this last entry, I want to apologize to Miss Zu for every mistakes that I had ever did for being your student. I also want to apologize because of the trouble that I had made in the speaker corner on Friday. It doesn't mean that I do not respect you, but I was too stress on that day. Once again Miss, I am so sorry. Don't ever hate me because of that incident. I really hope that you will understand about my situation on that day. Lastly, I promise that I will study hard for this final and I will also try the best to ensure that I can speak very well in this language. I promise that one day I will make you proud. Miss, please pray for our final and we will always pray the best for you. Best of luck for your PHD. I will always love you and keep you in my memory. Don't ever forget me Miss. Please, I'm begging. Muaaaah :)

Assalammualaikum dude! Today, my class is very awesome because Miss Zu had asked us to watch one movie, TAKEN. Do you all ever watched this movie? Okay, never mind if you never watch it before. I will story a little bit about this movie. Actually this movie is about Human Trafficking for Prostitution. The movie is about one family which their parents had been divorced and they have one daughter. I was very sad when I watched this movie as the daughter never appreciate her father's sacrifice even though her father willing to do anything just for her daughter's happiness and security. The climax started when her daughter had been kidnapped for prostitution. Her father had work hard for 2 days to save her beloved daughter and he also willing to kill many people just to ensure her daughter will not be sold to the irresponsible person. At last, he succeeds and brought her daughter back.

After finished with the movie, Miss Zu had asked us to write a discussion essay with the topic Human Trafficking for Prostitution by group.

Insyaallah. So, this is my group's essay. 
Let check it out ^_*        


WOMAN TRAFFICKING FOR PROSTITUTION

Human trafficking is one of the global crimes and became the third crime global after drug trafficking and weapon crime. It involves forced labour, slavery, the beggar and the most critical issue that is woman trafficking for prostitution. In Malaysia, this case have become the hot issues, bombarded the society and the increasing rate of this crime may lead the anxious. How could this modern people suddenly think as easy as that and willing to trade people? Don’t they think of the person’s luck and their future if they become the victims? In fact, people tend to involve in this criminality because that is the only way for the trafficker to gain easy money, however, this case has globally proven that it will  not only bring violence towards the victims but as well as diseases especially towards the women who  have been trafficked.
Human trafficking is a lucrative industry in the world because it can generate higher profit. According to Patric (2005), claims that global annual profit of human trafficking was $31.6 billion. Based on the movie review, Taken, traffickers used women as a medium for them to generate income as the women had high value especially virgin women. They were sold over hundred million for those who were afforded to buy those women. The buyers are willing to buy the women with the higher price because those women still virgin. While for them which have no virgin, they will make them as a prostitute to increase their income. Furthermore, with the income that generated by trafficker, they can use the money to pay for the government servants so that they can get power from others and monopoly this activity. In this way, they can get the authority as well as domination compare to others. As a result, everyone will convergent on them and this is opportunity for them to gather more money. Hence, it is proven that human trafficking and prostitution will earn high income for the traffickers.
Whereas the traffickers can gain more profit by doing human trafficking, however it also give a bad impact towards the victims. As we know people that have potential to be the victims are children, men, and women. In Addition children and men they can force them to be a labour and women they used for prostitution. According to Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking state, the traffickers will use drug towards the victims to make them incautious and addicted to sex especially for women, so they can do their work properly without thinking anything else except to provide sex service to the costumer. Based on Taken movie (2008) there is one scene which Bryan met accidentally with a drugged woman in construction site Bryan saw, that woman has a jacket that belonged to his daughter and when he asked her ‘ where do you get this? ’ then the woman kept saying ‘I’m good’. This is the effect of overdose drug towards the victims as well as causing hallucination. At this point when the victims cannot think rationally, people will take advantage towards them. Thus its clearly state that human trafficking may give a bad impact towards the victims.
Human trafficking may give biased benefits toward traffickers. Nonetheless, it has proven statically that human trafficking just gives more negative impacts to the victims especially the violence among women. Based on Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking page claims that depression, suicidal thought and attempt, physical injuries and death are the consequence of the violence that will be affected the victims of human trafficking. Furthermore, it is portrayed in one scene of Taken movie (2008) whereby Amanda had been found to die tragically in brothel by Bryan Mill (Kim’s father). She was drugged overdose until lead to death. As we can see, there were a lot of bruises and wounds lied on her body. In certain case, majority of the victims is unable to get a proper treatment for their medication; this is because their access to health is totally restricted by traffickers. Due to this situation, when  the prostitution  activities still carried out without any obstacle the dissemination of sexual diseases such as HIV become more aggressive by sexual intercourse. This is because the victims are tied up with the fear or surveillance and expulsion from trafficker if they try to escape themselves from them.
In a nutshell, there is nothing else to be debated; indeed the reality that the trafficking gives lots of drawbacks rather than the betterments was evidenced. It is show clearly the trafficker tend to involve in this crime for gain more money easily. Although it is bring positive impact toward the trafficker, it will bring nuisance toward the victim. The victim may face some effect that not only bring violence victim but also make a disease especially toward the women that have been trafficked. It is shown that human will to anything that they want for their interest. Based on that, they are dare to do illegal activities such this trafficking to make the trafficker getting more powerful as well as to generate high income. Nevertheless, this will make the victim are treated of violence as prostitute unwillingness and based on that, the victim may get a transmitting disease. All of all, these activities are bring effect toward the victim as well as toward the family victim too.

ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY


For my entries today, I will share with you all about the hardest type of essay that is Argumentative Essay. But for Miss Zu, she will say that the argumentative essay is the EASIEST TYPE ESSAY. Thank you Miss Zu for that encouragement. Haha :D

For this type of essay, Miss Zu had asked us to do the Pattern 3. What if we do the other pattern? As usual, the mark will be deducted. Let me show to you all the pattern for number 3.


Introduction stating the thesis statement

Con 1, with topic sentence + Refutation
Pro 1, with topic sentence

Con 2, with topic sentence + Refutation
Pro 2, with topic sentence

Con 3, with topic sentence + Refutation
Pro 3, with topic sentence

Conclusion summarising the main ideas or restating the thesis statement 

What is the con? The con is the reasons opposing the topic. To start our writing for cons, we can use the transition signals such as 'some people say that..', 'those who disagree...' and 'opponents of this idea claim....' 

What is the refutation? It is the point to refute back the opponents. For this, we may use however, but and in contrast... 

What is the pro? The pro is the reasons supporting the topic. 'To begin with...', 'Another reason,...' and 'Finally,...'

Ok guys, here are some web that you can search if you want to know the detail about this essay. 

Here, is the example of my essay. Maybe you all can use this as an example :)


“Women are becoming bolder as well as more aggressive and men are more sensitive”

Nowadays, women are more matured and their population are more than men. The increasing number of their population made them beat the men and they had monopolized the community. Although women are more than men, men have needed to maintain their character as gentlemen and the fact that they are more proficiency than women cannot be refute. 
To begin with, men are born to be a leader and they should be more decisive than women. Those who disagree said that, nowadays many women have capability than men and most of them had become a leader. However, men have more capability to be a leader and to lead the community. Men have their own capability in leadership and normally, it will end with the successful. For example, our former Prime Ministers are also men, who had already given lots of development in Malaysia. Hence, men should be a leader and more strict for our community to protect the women.
Another point, women are more sensitive than men. Those who assert said that men are touchier to the adverse impacts of lack of affection. Nonetheless, women are more sensitive only with a small thing and always find the point to be sulk. Orloff (2007) indicates that there have several studies said that women are more sensitive than men because they have been shown to be more hunch. Normally, women’s hearts are very fragile even to small negative comments. As example, when they are working, they will easy to be touching if they have been scolded by their boss. Thus, women are more sensitive and become trouble if they cannot control their emotion when confronting with other people.  
Finally, men are more aggressive than women. Some people may disagree with this idea; they said that women cannot control their emotion and always fuming. In contrast, men are more aggressive especially if the man is a hot temper person. Normally, men have more tendencies to be a hot temper when it comes to their loved one such as their family and their wife. For instance, when their wife was disturbed by the other men, they will fight with the men without think properly. Ashley (2007) proposes that women can control their emotion but the boys are more easily infuriated. As a result, men are more aggressive suit with their character as a man.


All in all, we cannot deny the fact that men are more aggressive and women are not becoming bolder because men are born to be a leader and women are more sensitive. In fact, men have to be a gentleman to be a good husband and father so that they can guide women very well.

COMPARE AND CONTRAST ESSAY



Today our class was in the computer laboratory. As you all know, if the class was in the lab, of course we will did an essay. So, today we were written the compare and contrast essay. Before we start our writing, Miss Zu had explained to us about the techniques to write this type of essay. Miss Zu also provide us with the Venn diagram to ensure that we will be more understand with this essay. Miss Zu had showed to us one movie and we had to write an essay based on that movie. Did you all know what is the movie? Haha. This is the movie.   


Yahh, I'm sure that all of you start to feel weired and think that I'm crazy right? How can we write an essay based on this story? What type of essay did we had to write? Just thanks to Miss Zu for her great idea and asked us to compare between the 2 character in that movie. So, who are the character?

Bree Van De Kamp 


VS 


Lynette Scavo

That's the fact. We make a compare and contrast about Bree Van De Kamp and Lynette Scavo. Then, we need to find the similarities of this character and the differences for both character. The differences that we had figured out are attitude, children management and the way they control their family. What is the similarities? Haa, since this movie is about housewife, of course the similarities would be housewife. 

I think, that's all for today. See you in the next entry. Bye :)    

TOPIC SENTENCE AND IMPLIED MAIN IDEAS



Today, I will talk to you all about the Topic Sentence and Implied Main Ideas. 


  • The main idea of a passage is the thought that is present from the beginning to the end. 
  • Usually the paragraph have 2 types of sentences:
  1. A topic sentence (contains the main ideas) 
  2. One ore more detail sentence (support, prove, provide more information, explain or give more examples) 
  • Rules for finding the topic sentence
  1. The topic sentence is usually first, but could be in any position in the paragraph.
  2. A topic is usually more general than the other sentences, that is, it talks about many things and looks at the big picture. 
  3. Detail sentence are usually more specific than the topic, that is they usually talk about one single or small part of an idea. 







  • What is implied main idea?
  1. some paragraphs has no topic sentence.
  2. this doesn't mean that there is no main idea.
  3. the main idea is implied or unstated or hidden which mean you have to figure it out by yourself. 
  4. let see an example:




I hope you all can understand. If you still blur with this topic, don't forget to search for this web buddies.











DEBATE




Assalammualaikum guys. Today Miss Zu had asked us to do a debate. So Miss Zu had divided us into 4 groups. Actually, this is the preparation for our speaking practice. Let check it out.

Then the two groups which are group 1 and group 2 had debated based on the topic ‘Is it considered cheating when your partner was checking on other beautiful (girls/boys) on facebook?’ Miss Zu had decided that group 1 will be totally agreed with the topic while the group 2 will totally disagree about the topic. Group 1 stands their decision with their points because they said that is the way for them to look for another partner. Besides that, they will do that because they are bored with their partner. However, group 2 still defends their decision with their points that they will do that only for their business. That is also to spend their free time and to have many friends. In my opinion, if our intention is good, we can use the Facebook as one of the medium for us to explore many things such as friends, knowledge and current events.

Lastly, group 3 and group 4 had debated about ‘Is it true that men are easy to work with and more creative than women especially when it involves group work?’.  I was in the group 4 who were totally agreed about this topic. For us, men are easy to work because they are more creative thinking rather than the women. Moreover, men have 9 brain and 1 lust compared to women who only have 1 brain but 9 lust. Finally, we think that men are more professional while the women are more emotional especially when they need to make a decision. Nonetheless, our points had been refute by group 3 with the points that women are more alert when doing their work and they do not do their work at the last minutes compared to the men who like to do their work at eleventh hour. For me, of course I will defend my gender right? But, I think that everyone has their own characteristics and it is based on us to make our own evaluation.

So, that’s all for today. Thank you dude!
