iT's nOt difFicult aT alL !


thiS is nEw !

HOW do i really find writing in English? For others it's difficult. On the other hand, it is also as easy as eating peanut for those who are already used to it. But for me, I just know how to. Sometimes, i find it very difficult especially when i don't know what to write and how to start the composition.

But writing in English for me is a lot easier than writing in Filipino or worse, in our native tongue. I can't even spell the words well whenever i tried to make a composition on these two languages.

Actually, writing in English is not a difficult task if and only if you know the language. Not as much as the Americans or other English people but what matters the most is that if you could just express yourself using the language is already enough.

Then again, the way of polishing your ability on this field is through reading and practicing. Everyone whose own language is not English started out with no know-how on it and I'm sure that they did something to know and be good on it. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT! There's no sense in stopping for learning 'cos you will just be left behind! =)

"WHAT'S more important, written or oral language?" A very confusing question, isn't it? I really don't know what to choose for they are both significant in our daily living. do i really have to choose only one? can't i just have both for it's really hard for me to search for concrete reasons why writing and not oral language or why oral and not written language.


Practically, both languages can't be separated from each other. they are interconnected as the term says. my explanations are presented for better understanding: first, it's hard to produce a written language without the help of the oral one. it's true that we can produce through our minds for instance the compositions and other academic papers. but the majority is taken from the opinions of other people to make it more reliable i.e., historical notes.


Second, it's unfair to say that oral language can live on its own because of the fact that it already exist without any basis of written works. of course it did because we human beings are born to speak and it is our nature. but at this generation, wherein everything's "hi tech" and everything's only trusted whenever there is a reliable source i.e., research works, written language is very helpful when it comes to that matter. people's intelligence is already based on what they have read and see. that's universal. and what we know, is also what we just speak, of course. as simple as that!


As a whole, there's no such thing as an argumentation between these two things for we need both of them to create better communication!!!

"HOMOSEXUALITY," the first word that i have spoken in the whole class. i really felt so anxious and afraid for letting it out on my mouth because maybe they would react differently because of the fact that i am a homosexual also. "what's new?" maybe they would say or if not "are you defending yourself?" together with a "hahah!" But surprisingly, of those hesitations and fear, nothing really happened. Just my imagination! :)

after all of us have recited, our teacher instructed to look for a classmate or classmates whom our topics are related. Whoah! what a start. if you don't know yet, i had new set of classmates except for my two former ME block mates. but the three of us have different topics so it's impossible for us to be in the same group. but here i am, full of confidence. i don't know myself during those times. i just felt that there's nothing to be ashamed of. so i joined my new classmates whom i knew had related topics with mine.

our instructor again gave us another instructions and the last thing that we're going to do is to present it on class. i wasn't afraid for i thought I'm good at that. so the three of us chose a topic and we decided to choose mine. which means, i will be the one to explain it for i know the thing more than them. i really do! hahah!

and that was it. our group's turn, my turn on the other words. in spite of my confidence, i still felt very embarrassed. we didn't spent so much time analyzing and reviewing our work so the end product was a mistake. good for my group mates 'cos they were not the one who presented it. it wasn't their fault really, it's mine. our teacher asked so many questions. it should be like that and like this. that's not related with your topic. revise it. in short, our work was really a mistake ( she didn't said that ).

i tattered, paused so many seconds, was mental blocked and sit down. isn't it embarrassing? i thought i knew it. first oral activity, i failed. bad impression for my teacher, odd feelings for myself. i felt frustrated, ashamed and disappointed but encouraged to make it better next time.

that was it! my second day in our class. one-and-a-half hours inside the classroom with as lot of happenings. shame, fear and confidence which lead to EMBARRASSMENT!!!
