Ngeblog bareng PEC: “Is studying English difficult…?”

*difficulties in learning English…

English was a subject I didn’t really like when I was in senior high school, perhaps for a few reasons. And frankly speaking, I sometimes blamed the teachers, the books, and many others justification. Eventhough I could reach 8 or 9 in the student assessment report, I just didn’t welcome the English lesson a lot. I didn’t really enjoy the class and I couldn’t understand why I didn’t. But now, after being graduated from university, I can figure out a few things why I didn’t love English.

Don’t say no to “Learning English”

Dear all friends and colleagues

Have you ever imagined doing many things easier than you ’ve ever done…? (This could be a difficult to understand-question if u don’t read the following. Let me make it simple and gimme your eyes).

I asked many students and friends about why we should study and understand english as well. A part of them answered because English is the the international language. Others said because English are the most common language used in text book in every discipline. Many different answers were also proposed. None was wrong. But I prefer to say that the most acceptable answer is “BECAUSE, NOWADAYS, ENGLISH IS THE LANGUAGE OF CIVILIZATION” (Karena saat ini, bahasa inggris adalah bahasa peradaban). When you use a computer, you will realize that english is absolutely needed to understand in using and troubleshooting it. When you buy a new TV, hand phone, etc., you will find that their manuals are
