Manners Is Important

             Manner make us aware that everything we have derives from a source.From the text "No one stops to say thank you anymore" I learned that manner is very important it can make a person smile and lessen his/her stresses in life even just a simple "thank you" or "good morning".I really appreciate the homeless man who still not forgot to say thank you to the man who opened the door for him.Most of teenager today doesn't have a good manner anymore.Even if they saw a old man/woman carrying a heavy things there just making it never mind.Most children's today doesn't have a good manner anymore.Why is it happened? Its because they're just emulate what they saw around them.They don't know what is right and what is wrong.
           Only few of the man today are gentle or let we say a gentleman.One of the example is when I rode a jeep the passenger are usually man.When it is almost full there is an old woman shall the vehicle I rode.When the jeep stop,the old woman entered and looking for vacant seats.Of all the man looking at her nobody stand and let her seat in their chair.And then the old lady went out to the vehicle.I am suppose to stand that time but I carried a lot of things.
           I learned that we must have a good manner and social graces.To be honest I didn't say thank you to my mother because I feel ashamed :) I just say thank you through letters especially Valentines Day.I just say it one's at a time :) but from now and then I will say it in personal :)

            There are many ways of becoming a very good English language learner.Only is some of us didn't even did it.
            I am a good English language learner in such a way that I read a books and any reading materials.I watch a foreign movie and resist the urge to open a dictionary for every word I didn't understand.Instead,I guess the meaning of the word based on the sentence.After, I am taking down notes for those complicated words.
            I am not afraid of making mistakes in my grammar.Even if they laugh at me,I don't care the important is I learn from my mistakes.I embrace mistakes and I am open for any corrections.Instead of being angry I must be thankful because I learn the right thing.
            Practice is also a way of becoming a good English language learner.I speak English in order to master the language.Even if it is not too fluent.I am also confident of using it especially when I talk to a foreigner.
            This blog is also help me to enhance English language.

Practice Makes Perfect

During Tournament

           Each of us has a talent or a sports.When I was grade 4, I always look for that thing.I always joined everything like volleyball,badminton and etc. To know if where I belong.One day when I went home I saw my father playing a board game.I really don’t know what’s that game.It’s very confusing and too difficult to understand.When I asked my father what’s that game he said that it is called “chess” played by two person only.But...daaahh I still really don’t care because it’s really difficult.I am confuse because some pieces move anywhere not like “dama”.But inspite of that difficulties why I’d still watch them playing? Then my father asked me if I am willing to know this game.I just said “YES” but in my mind I say “daah I have no future for this.It’s very difficult and complicated.I have no plan for this”.I just being plastic with my father when he teach me,as if I’d like that game but daah.

          Two weeks after I already knew the moves in each pieces,but still I always lose.For me it’s just a waste of time and it is useless.It’s just make my brain complicated.I really hate this game because I always lose.

            One day when I went to plaza I saw people who are fun of playing chess.When I looked at there moves I just said “wow” they are amazing,there moves was so fast and I am too far from there learning.And because of that I realized that I really haven’t a future because there have a lot of people who are expert in playing chess.

            When I was grade 5 I still playing chess but just for my leisure time and if I am bored.One time I played a person who are expert in playing chess.He is an engineer. And obtusely I lose,as always J.But after the game I am shocked of what he said,he said that “You know what you are good,I really appreciate your moves and your plan to make me mate.I think you will succeed.All you want is just more practise”.I feel inspired on those comment I heard but I am still confuse if I continue to play this game.

            When I was grade 6.Our school need a participants to play a chess tournament in other school.I just keep silent but no one raise their hand and volunteered to be a player.Then suddenly I heard my name saying “Mam, Merenisa know that game”.My face was struggling trying to refuse them saying “no,no,no not me! I wont” But when I looked at my teacher’s face I think that she is disappointed with me.So,I have no choice but to accept that offer.

            When I went home I told my father about the tournament.He’s very happy and immediately got a chessboard.And everynight we practise.I am always negative.I always think that I am lose.

            The tournament is approaching.I really feel nervous. Of course it was my first time.Even if I always think negative I must do all my best for the name of the school.After the game I can’t believe that I win.I would be the representative in our unit for the next tournament.I am happy and can’t believe.Because of that I always joined a tournament when I was 1^st year high school to 4^th year.Sometimes win and sometimes lose and that’s life.5 years of playing chess I realized the important of life.I already know how to plan and solved a problem without depending on others because playing chess is like facing a trials and challenges in our life.Now,I know that I am not already on the top of the mountain but I am starting and trying to fly to be on the top just like the eagle on the story “The Parable Of The Eagle”.
