The Disadvantages of
Spending a Holiday Abroad
How nice to have a long break
from your hectic study life? How about a fabulous holiday that costs you a
little, no worries of security and safety, and what most, no hustle on food? Being
a student, time and money are not always on your side, so don’t you want to
spend your holiday wisely? Definitely, you would be discouraged to spend your
hard-earned time and money abroad.
Firstly, it is the fact that having
holiday abroad would cost you more money. Due to present drop in Ringgit value
against major currencies, spending holiday in countries such as the US, United
Kingdom or Australia will be more expensive. It costs you more on tickets fee, room,
transportation, food or even your shopping lists. Plus, having a vacation
abroad would lead you to unnecessary and additional costs for getting your passport
or visa ready or you may end up paying tax for items you purchase abroad. A part
from that, you also tend to get cheated for paying more for items or services that
you are not familiar with on foreign soil.
Secondly, having vacation overseas
may raise security and safety concerns. We may often get carried away while in shopping
heaven. We may be exposed and fall victim of crimes such as pick pocket,
car-jacking, robberies or even kidnapping. Moreover, being a Muslim, we might
be a subject of religious prejudice because not all countries are Muslim-friendly
and due to racism by local people, Muslims are not well-received. Furthermore,
being in foreign country, their rules and regulations are alien to you as things
deemed legal in our country might be illegal in other countries. We may get caught
and penalised or even worst, we may get arrested unnecessarily.
Lastly, food is major disadvantage
when you are on a overseas trip. Why food? The obvious issue is that majority
of Malays eat rice in their daily meals. In overseas you may find it difficult
to find rice and if we do, it may cost you a lot just for a plate of rice. As for
Muslims getting ‘halal’ food is a main concern and we might face problems in
finding ‘halal’ food especially in a non-Muslim country.
When travelling abroad, cooking
your own meals is almost impossible. Unlike in Malaysia where cooking
facilities and raw materials and ingredients are easily available, how much time
do you have for searching for those items and if you do so, does the hotel abroad
allow their guest to cook?
In a nut shell, even though there
are a lot of disadvantages of spending a holiday abroad, we still can enjoy our
break by going on a vacation in our country, Malaysia because you might be
surprised to have beautiful scenery of beaches, various kind of food that you
may want to enjoy and of course, there are great shopping heavens that offer
reasonable price and lot of goodies too.

WHY STUDENTS SHOULD ACQUIRE A SECOND LANGUAGE???
Some of the students these days dont take a second language seriously eventhough most of us learnt them since primary or even kindergarden.By now students should realise that they must acquire a second language which is english not just learn and forget.We use it internationally and students should master it and practise it.
One of the main reason especially students are:


To increase confidence when facing people-even in our education system are using english mainly in universities.All presentations,assignments and lectures are in english.We can understand more if we acquire second language and not being blurry in class.If we master english no more shame in presenting and publically speaking infront of people .

Broaden horizons-this means we can make friends with people around the world and learn their culture.
No more subtitle/translation!-english movies,tv shows or books are now can be translated when aired.So if we acquire our second language we are able to understand and not watching or reading the subs (because most of them are not fun to read and sometimes we missed the best joke)
Job?-english has beome the lingua franca in many parts of the world so we have to learn english to work at a multinational counrty (commonly this kind of company pays higher). This is for the students who are graduating in the future think how acuiring a second language effects big part of it.

Studying In A Group vs. Studying Alone
Students always find complication over whether to study
alone or in groups. While being in groups might bring lots of distractions,
studying alone might let our mind wander off. However, different people have
different opinion of things as some might enjoy the atmosphere of being a group
but prefer to do so in silence. While others like to sit alone and do the rest
on their own.
Explanation - When alone, all the explanation can be
found in books and the internet, this teaches us to be independent of finding
something on your own. Whilst, studying in groups may be easier as your study
mates might have more information and can increase your knowledge.
Keep silent – Sitting alone gives peace and space,
allowing us to think carefully and have less distraction while doing so. In
groups, one conversation may lead to another and from talking about a subject,
it can easily turn into a conversation of what’s for lunch, or what clothing to
buy. Although this is actually up to the people in the group.
Put your mind on it – When you study on your own, you’re
able to focus on the topics that you have already picked out and not waste any
time on those that you already understand. While your partner might want you to
study the topics that they are not familiar with.
Quizzes – Surely quizzes or questions can be done alone
and there’s no problem with it. The fun way to do it is in groups; help those
who needs it, make flash cards together and quiz one another. Learning with
people can give us a free mind and a great mood; success is just around the
corner!
Take your time – By studying alone, you can read and
study your materials carefully and take your own time. Studying at your own
pace is important for you to understand things thoroughly. Rushing things may
only lead to less understanding and mixed up information.
Golden information – Studying in groups allows sharing of
opinions, views and information. These kinds of discussion will able you to
improve your thinking skills. By sharing, we can expand the basic information
that we have on something and broaden our understanding on the topic.
Basically everyone have their own ways of studying.
Nevertheless, we wish you the best in it!

The Important of English Language
THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Internationally, English is recognised language in a large number of countries in the world and it is estimated that almost 2 billion people use English as a medium of communication. In our country, English is regarded as the second language as we had been colonised by the British Government before our independence. During the colonization period, they brought immigrants from China and India to solve labour shortage. Apart from that, there are also aborigines living in remote areas especially in the state of Sabah, Sarawak, Pahang and Terengganu. Due to that Malaysia is multi-lingual country where all races have their own mother-tongues. Apart from Malay language, we also need other commonly used speaking language which is acceptable by these races.
Research has proven that English is most commonly used in the world of business communication. In Malaysia, majority of private companies practices English as their medium of communication internally or externally. Besides, we do encourage international companies to set foot here. Therefore, without good English, working opportunity with these companies is rather slim. As such mastering English may not only allow staffs to interact and apply the communication skills in their daily work and duties but also provide advantage in the ladder of promotion too.
Most of the technical words or terminologies be it in social sciences, engineering or arts are English-based. As such translating or mixing English terminologies with other languages may lead to confusion and difficult to comprehend. For example, translating English terminologies from Chemistry Periodic Table into Malay words would rather make students’ life miserable.
Hollywood is the place where the biggest television and music industries in the world are based. All movies, TV, music and documentaries are produced in English. What's more, knowing English opens up thousands of movies, television shows, and games for our enjoyment. If you want to one day work in the entertainment industry, English is proven to be essential.
Those who are still unaware of the importance of English should start learning it, as a time will come when everything will be understood, spoken and written in English.
On the Internet, the majority of websites are written and created in English. Even sites in other languages provide the option to translate into English site.
English is the primary language of the press: more newspapers and books are written in English than in any other language, and no matter where in the world we stand, English books and newspapers are always available. In fact, because it is so dominant in international communication, you will find more information regarding nearly every subject if you can speak this language.
