misguided





 
        Many people are still confused when asked about the ideals, especially when the question was asked to the children, because their answers can change. But it also sometimes applies to teenagers who start looking for themselves as they will be in the future. Sometimes we think that our education will now determine us in the future, like a medical student who will become a doctor, law students will wrestle in that field, and that makes us a little clear in the future. But what about someone who feels misguided?

At first I felt that I was studying in the wrong direction, because actually my ability is not in the field, all I do because my parents want to waive their children college in the department, that's why I survive until now. I decided to take the college test I was interested in, after graduating as one of the students there I felt that I would disappoint my parents later, I heartily informed them of the decision I had chosen. At first I saw the disappointment of their eyes but they allowed me to follow my heart, after getting permission I decided to take the opportunity but the unexpected happened, I was sick so could not follow one of the conditions on that day, and it made I cannot be a college student I want to be. From the incident I thought maybe this is the best way for me and all I have to do is try harder so what my parents want I can make it happen.
So, sometimes what we think wrong is not necessarily completely wrong. Like "misguided" because of the blessing of our parents who will lead us to success, and explain what our dreams really are.


Texting is killing language. JK!



Texting is killing language. JK!
Jhon McWhorter

Many assumptions that texting is a scourge the idea is 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  the whole world today. In fact it is not true, texting is not writing at all, basically the language has been around for 150,000 years at least 80,000 years of conversation language appeared and people began to speak competently. Writing is a new thing to arise later, according to estimates if humanity has been around for 24 hours then writing appears around 11:07 pm, although it seems slow but writing has advantages as we write we do consciously and we can look back In our writing, the scope of use we use is much broader than if we are conversing. For example, imagine a passage from Edward Gibbon’s The decline and Fall of The Roman Empire ”The whole engagement lasted above twelve hours, till the gradual retreat of the Persians was changed into a disorderly flight, of which the shameful example was given by the principal leaders and the Surenas himself”.

            When we have things in our pocket that can receive that 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 thinks about capital letters or punctuation when one texts. Texting is fingered speech, that’s what texting is. Although there is the assumption that we do not heed what has been learned on the board, so we think that there is something wrong with texting and this is a very natural instinct. But the fact of the matter is that what is going on is kind of emergent complexity. That’s what we are seeing in this fingered speech. And in order to understand it, what we want to see is the way, in this new kind of language, there is new structure coming up. For example there is in texting a convention which is LOL. LOL we generally think of as meaning “laughing out loud” and of course theoretically it does and if you look at older texts, then people used it to actually indicate laughing out loud, but now It can have varied meanings such as being a symbol of empathy and accommodation. In addition to the word LOL there are various abbreviations that are often in use as a slash that can be developed meaning. So, according to John Mc Whorter texting is what we’re seeing is whole new way of writing that young people are developing. Which they’re using alongside their ordinary writing skills, and that means that they’re able to do two things. Increasing evidence is that being bilingual is cognitively beneficial. That’s also true of being bidialectal. That’s certainly true of being bidialectal in term of your writing. Texting actually is evidence of a balancing act that young people are using today, not consciously of course but it’s an expansion of their linguistic repertoire.

English Maniac



English Maniac
By Jay Walker



There are various mania in the world such Beatle mania the teens screamed hysterically when they saw it, Sports mania like football, and religious mania. Now the world has a new mania, a mania for learning English, such as students in Chinese countries who learn English by following what their teachers shout. Chinese residents are a large part of the learning English of two billion people who learn English around the world such as Latin America, India, Southeast Asia. In accordance with the legal requirements of Chinese students starting to learn English in third grade, that's why China will become the biggest English-speaking country of the year. The reason they learn English is to have opportunities like opportunities for a better life, a job to pay for school or a better meal at the dinner table. In China there is a test named Gaokao where 25% of the value of the English test and 80 million high school students in China have taken this tough test.

According to English jay walker is not a language that makes other languages imitated, English is the second world language and mother tongue remains the first language for all of us, but with English we become part of a larger conversation. Like global conversations about global issues, such as climate change or poverty, hunger or disease. The world has other universal languages, such as mathematics is a scientific language, music is an emotional language, and English is an intermediate language to solve problems such as electrical problems and the collapse of the Berlin wall and English represents hope for a better future where the world has a universal language To solve the universal problem.
