...The path to english There i was on a sunny august day in st louis missouri, it was the first day of school and i was starting 5th grade my family had just moved to the U.S over the summer. I was feeling very anxious that day, i didn’t know weather i was ready for school here or not. I didn’t know the language, i didn’t know anyone, everything was just different here. It had been only few months since we moved here so i was still feeling homesick missing all my friends there, i really didn’t like being in United states at that time. There i was in a school in different country, with random people around me and not having any idea what to say. I had known very little english when i first came here, i could write a little bit and only knew few words like hey, or what's up. I came from India a non-english speaking country, to the United states ,a english speaking country. Since i didn’t even know a little bit of english they had to put me in a special class ESOL. It was a program to help the non english speakers learn how to read and write. I had a very nice teacher named Mrs. Taylor, she was an older lady in her 50’s. She was always helpful and nice to me, she’s basically the reason that today i am able to read and write and fully understand the language.

For me reading it was just an input. Learning should be interactive. There are a lots of leisure activities surrounding us.

...Big brother isn’t watching you Young people around the world are rebellious and refractory, and often they do what they want to do. Why are young people rebellious and refractory? Some will say it is because the community affect the young people. The community affects them, but sometimes it is also because the community and government are not taking care of the younger ones in the community. As the young people of England made demonstrations in England especially in Birmingham and Manchester. The reputable English comedian and actor Russell Brand have written a commentary about the riots in England. The Guardian published the commentary on their website back in 2011. Already in the very beginning of the text, we see what Russell Brand’s attitude is to the English riots. He starts his commentary by talking about a situation in the TV program Big Brother. The situation he talks about involves three people from big brother house; Russell Brand describes the situation as tens and exiting “Early in that series there was an incident of excitement and high tension” (line 13). I think he is using the Big Brother series, because he uses the big brother aspect. One of the big brother aspects is that you look after the younger ones and especially the younger ones in one’s own family. Russell Brand is satiric in his commentary on English riots; first, you can see that in the title of the commentary “Big Brother isn’t watching you”. What he writes between the words here are, that in this...

...creations created by man. I like watching TV, because I can watch multiple shows at a time. Also it is less mind work in comparison to reading a book, magazine or news paper. Finally, it can help to teach you how to speak English. The TV is an experience that I enjoy every single day of my life. First off you can watch multiple shows at the same time. You can flip through the individual channels to watch your favorite TV drama, movie, music video, news, and sports all in one little box. The television is a simple invention in which entertainment is provided to all ages. For example, my father can watch news while I watch my favorite TV show. Also my whole family can sit down at one time to watch movies that we love. So in the end we can watch anything we want. I also like the television more than reading, because it involves less mind work. When reading in general you have to imagine and play out what is happening but on the TV it is done for you. Not only has that, but the TV included much more drama, action, and entertainment all together. An example would be that at the end of a long and tiring work day I would like to just unwind and relax my brain by watching TV and not reading. The television makes life much easier for me, because I don’t have to apply much brain power and yet I can obtain more knowledge and use it in the future. Finally, I can also learn to speak English while watching TV. When I first came to America, I knew very little English and after just a few weeks...

...INTRODUCTION ANIME. Whenever I hear this word, I automatically switch my brain from serious and normal mode, to hyperactive and otaku mode. When I hear people talk about anime, I can't just leave them be, I'll talk with them! This is how freaky and weird I can be. I first started watching anime when I was a kid, but I took it to the next level when I was in high school. Are you wondering what kind of next level this is? I meant next level as, at first, I only watch it when I come across it. But now, I watch it because I want to. It became my fascination. When I learned that an anime is popular and it's really good, I'll watch it. I may leave my schoolwork undone and watch anime first. This became the topic of my blog. Anime. Hi! I'm a serious, fun, hyperactive, weird and crazy otaku. I'm Lissa Nubla and welcome to my blog! 1 - What is Anime? (The photo above is an example of an anime art/drawing.) So, what is anime? Why is it popular all around the world, just like here in the Philippines? Does anime affect the way of living of the people that watch or are addicted in watching it? According to the article What is Anime by Serdar Yegulalp that I read, "The word anime -- pronounced "ah-knee-may" -- is an abbreviation of the word animation. In Japan, the word's used to refer to all animation." Also, according to Katherine Luther, anime is essentially Japanese animation and in fact, the word 'anime' is a shortened...

...Making Use of English Subtitled K-Pop MV in Exploring Students’ Extensive Reading Comprehension YUNINGSIH Telkom University, Indonesia yuningsihlegiman@gmail.com ABSTRACT Studies on captions and subtitles in EFL learning gave positive effects on comprehension and vocabulary acquisition (Chung, 1996, Neurnan & Koskinen, 1992; Price, 1983; Vanderplank, 1988, 1993). Using song in ELT was highly impressive and motivating (Murphey, 1992; Lied, 2000). This study was designed to investigate the use of English-subtitled K-Pop MV in exploring students’ extensive reading ability. In this case study, five students, four girls and one boy, were selected. To collect the data, document analysis and an in-depth interview were conducted. The findings showed in comprehending the song, the students’ interpretations were still shallow and relying heavily on summary of narrative with very low-level inference. Meanwhile in vocabulary acquisition, it helped their better understanding wider range vocabulary, either in English or Korean. In addition, using K-Pop for learning English was more interesting and enjoyable, it is also motivating. Overall, using English-subtitle on K-Pop can be used as an alternative way to enliven extensive reading. Keywords: Subtitle, comprehension, extensive reading, interpretation, inference. INTRODUCTION The Korean wave—”hallyu” in Korean—refers to a surge in the international visibility of Korean culture, beginning in East Asia in the 1990s and continuing...

...Web or Mobile System Paper: Netflix Abstract For the best free application for personal use is Netflix. The app itself is free but you have to pay for usage as far as purchasing goes. Very versatile you can use it on a mobile device, gaming console, or computer (i.e. Laptop, tablet, desktop). It’s good for people who can’t afford cable, don’t have time to catch their favorite shows, and enjoy watching old and new movies. There are other companies out there such as Hulu, Voodoo, and Viewster to name a few. I personally prefer Netflix because of the advertisement it received on my Xbox One. Netflix For the “at home” or the “on the go” movie lover, Netflix is a great app. You can download it on your mobile device, pc, and gaming console. It uses one account for multiple devices. The best thing for me is that your spouse and child can have their own profile. Netflix has been around for a long time and it is still running strong even though the competition is steadily increasing. This app is affordable, user friendly, and constantly upgrading to meet the needs of its users. Netflix is very affordable for even the lowest of budgets. I have found that Netflix is cheaper than going to the movies and paying for cable and overall, renting movies. Netflix allows the customer to set up one account with multiple profiles, for multiple devices at one low price. Although the movies and TV shows are a little slow coming to Netflix you are still able to watch some of your childhood...

Provide more study time, participation in live-chat, use the tools instructor give us in class to help with are assignments, and following instructor’s instructions. The first hard thing for me in this class was paraphrase and quotations. Never heard or had any knowledge about paraphrases or quotation’s. So I had to watch videos’, read the chapter instructor assign for the class to read on how to paraphrase and quotation, and listen to the instructor talk in live-chat on what are paraphrases and quotations; well as giving examples. As the weeks went by, became more familiar with quotations and paraphrase not so hard for me anymore. The second harder thing in English Composition was how to write a cause and effect essay. In my previous class I had some experience with writing and cause and effect essay, but this class we wrote more cause and effect essay. So which became stronger in writing a cause and effect essay?
