I am interested in the issues that teens today are afraid to use another language to communicate.
I want to ask, why be afraid to speak in other language than that we always use. whether because of shame, we are afraid to use another language? is because we are afraid to accept the mistakes, we do not want to use another language? whether because of the teasing of our friends, we are reluctant to speak in foreign languages. ask yourself, is it because of all these obstacles, you are afraid to communicate by using other languages.
I love to share a bit about my experience with this English subject. when I was in primary school, I do not know how to use, write, communicate in English. I have some friends who are always competing with me. the way they use English in everyday life is very good. at that time,I feel so ashamed because I am a Malay people can not even beat them. i rarely score A in my English test. In UPSR trial, i only score C for that subject. thanks God, I managed to get the A in UPSR.
in secondary school, I was not categorized as a slave who are really good in English. but I don't despair, although I know that my English teacher did not understand my pronounsation. There is one thing that makes me never give up to learn the English language that is because I like to see my teacher marked my essay paper.
When I moved to Johor Bahru, half of the students in my class in non malay. they know to speak Malay, but rarely to see them speak in malay. If there was, just with certain people only. I also try to learn to communicate well with them in English. I learned to believe in myself. I honestly say that my English is not excellent. I never got high marks in each English test. Alhamdulillah, I managed to scored A in the PMR.
while in form 4, I continue my studies in science school. learning here is very interesting. I first fell in love with the English subject when i was in form 5. while in school, my English test never scored 50 and above. but because my teacher who never gave up pushing me to change, I am trying to improve my grade scores. every week I will send my essay to be marked by him. in the dorm, I will speak the english language with my bedmate. during SPM trial, I hope that I can score A, but I failed again. I was only able to get a grade B +. but I tried again, and finally I managed well. my English results when SPM is A + and the 1119 GCE O-grade A1.
I already proved, if we try we will certainly succeed. self-confidence is very important. trying to communicate with others using a foreign language, I believe that sooner or later you will be familiar with that. until now, I still use English to communicate with my friends who are not Malays. I don't care even my grammar is wrong but I tried.
afraid to accept that mistakes were the reason is not relevant anymore today. we learn from mistakes. if you are afraid to face the mistakes, how to find success? think it wisely. don't care about those words taht people say. hence, don't fear with that challenges.
Currently, the ability to speak in another language is needed to get a good job. it is regarded as a privilege in yourself. I am thankful that I was able to understand and communicate in Malay, English and Chinese.
I believe the talk, start to start something new is started from the self-confidence. you have confidence, you can change everything.
