Membaca Novel Bahasa Inggeris ( Beginners )

" Ala...bukannya best sangat pun novel bi, yang kau suka sangat tu apsal "

" Kau tak pa la, bi kau power...dapat A+, aku tak minat la baca novel bi, bukan aku faham pun "

" Kau ni kan, aku tengok macam suka benda luar ja lebih...bukan nak baca novel melayu..."

Eh..eh..eh. Ha, tuan2 dan puan2...kawan2 aku banyak kata benda2 camtu kat aku. Ish2...sedar tak aku sedih kena kata camtu, ingat aku kuat sangat ka ? Tapi, to tell you the truth, tak sedih pun kena kata macam tu disebabkan minat aku terhadap novel bi. Yup, memang aku suka pun, and aku memang tak suka novel melayu kahwin paksa + orang kaya + cinta2 tu...hampa minat yang tu, ikut suka hampa, aku pun boleh ikut suka hati aku.
Aku ada sebab aku.

Yang ada di otak aku waktu aku mula2 start baca novel bi dulu cuma,
" Kalau aku baca novel melayu, jalan cerita tak best, apa aku dapat ? Kalau aku baca novel bi, walaupun jalan cerita tak best, at least aku dapat belajar bahasa bi tu kan ? "

Sebahagian novel2 bi aku... :-)


Okay, jadi ni aku nak bagi tips sikit untuk yang baru nak mula baca novel bi. Jangan risau sangat bila merangkak - rangkak, rileks sudah.


1) Beri Diri Sebab Untuk Mula

Aku sangat2 percaya, kalau ada satu sebab untuk kita lakukan sesuatu, benda tu pasti akan membantu kita. Manusiawi. Manusia memang camtu, dia perlukan sebab. Kalau kau bukan manusia, kau tak perlu susah baca tips ni, sila pergi ke no 2. Ha, sebab aku boleh mula, macam aku cakap tadi, aku nak sesuatu bila baca. Jadi, bila aku fikir, betul juga la yang baca novel bi ni boleh bantu aku kuasai bahasa bi. Tu yang aku pun, apa lagi...start la baca. Apa yang aku nak tekankan, sebab kau mungkin tak sama dengan aku, apapun, kau kena cari sebab...kau memang perlukan sebab. Jangan buat sesuatu tanpa sebab, sebabnya kemungkinan nanti kau berhenti tengah jalan tu sangat2 tinggi... = ="

2 ) Pilih Novel Yang Famous

Okay, aku tak galakkan hampa pilih novel yang nipis2 bila nak baca, tapi aku amat alu2kan hampa baca novel yang famous sebab : a) ada sebab kenapa novel tu famous b) novel inggeris selalunya famous sebab jalan cerita. Btw, kalau mula dengan novel nipis dan jalan cerita tak best, mungkin kau akan rasa sangat tak enjoy. Nak paksa diri untuk baca bahan yang tak best, itu amatlah menyeksakan. Jadi, kalau kau start dengan novel famous, kemungkinan novel tu best adalah 80%, ni aku cakap berdasarkan pengalaman aku yang dah baca banyak novel bi yang famous. :-)

3) Walaupun Tak Faham, Teruskan Membaca

Yang ni penting sangat2. Kalau kau baca one page, pastu kau tak faham benda pa penulis tu merepek...kau teruskan dulu, at least, habiskan satu chapter. Pastu, baru kau decide kau faham ke tak. Faham sikit pun okay. Kalau tak faham, kau patut : a) Tanya orang yang dah baca novel tu tentang jalan cerita b) Google review buku novel tersebut.

4) Fahami Jalan Cerita

Ha, nak baca novel, memang penting untuk kau faham apa yang kau baca...atau, kau akan cepat putus asa. Come on, babe...fighting! Kalau tak faham, kau boleh try buat apa yang aku cakap kat no 3 tu.


5) Rujuk Kamus Apabila Terdesak

Sebenarnya, kalau kau tak faham ayat dalam novel tu, kau perlu fahamkan tapi bukannya setiap ayat kau perlu faham. Letih la camtu, asyik2 nak rujuk kamus, tak da mood aihh...Hmm, sebenarnya, aku tipu ja...kau tak payah rujuk kamus pun. Rujuk bila perkataan tu asyik ulang2 dan menganggu bacaan kau. Kalau perkataan tu tak menganggu, tak penting sangat pun lah untuk kau rujuk...

6) Baca

Ha, namapun tips untuk membaca, dah tentulah kau kena baca. Kau tak boleh bagi begitu banyak alasan bila kau nak baca, apa yang patut kau buat sebenarnya hanya perlu BACA. Aku sangat2 percaya, bila kau dah mula baca, pasti kau tak dapat berhenti lagi.

7) Enjoy

Ha, dah baca, apa lagi...enjoy lah! Please, pastikan lepas kau habiskan novel bi pertama kau, please do enjoy it...lepas tu, baru kau akan terasa nak baca novel bi yang seterusnya. Kalau tak enjoy, cari alasan untuk enjoy, please...tengok balik isi novel tu, every little thing, pasti ada benda juga, pasti ada....hmm, tapi kalau tak boleh nak enjoy juga, kau perlukan tips seterusnya :

8) Pura - pura

LOL. Hoho, tak...bukan pura2 enjoy. Tu tak bijak namanya...enjoy mana boleh paksa. Dah diri kau tak enjoy, maka tak lah. Hmm, actually, kau perlu pura2 yang kau belum start apa2 lagi...yang kau tak baca pun novel yang kau tak enjoy tu. Ha, apa lagi, lepas tu, kau try la baca novel lain pula, mana tahu kau akan enjoy. Kalau novel lain pun kau masih tak enjoy2, kau perlu terus berpura2. Hoho.

Okay, tu ja aku rasa tips yang kau perlukan untuk nak baca novel bahasa inggeris...aku, baca novel bi ni dah bertahun2, jadi, aku tak boleh lah nak mengaku aku ni masih beginner...tetapi, apa yang boleh aku kongsikan kat sini, sebab aku baca novel bi lah, aku mampu untuk skor A+ time SPM dulu...aku tau, kalau ikutkan tahap penguasaan aku sebelum aku baca novel bi dulu, aku yang sekarang pasti akan gelak besar dekat aku, si lemah bi yang dahulu. Tak pa, tak semestinya lemah tak boleh berubah...tapi, nak berubah tak boleh duduk saja makan tidur makan tidur...buatla something, baca buku bi ha...

"Technical" Drama

As I'd finished my study at Technical College, and I plan to continue my study in this field (Technical) so, I ended up watching this two dramas...
They did help me in several things, at least, I slightly know what should I expect,
or maybe not ?




First, I watched "May Queen", a Korean drama, which has 38 episodes, it is quite long and honestly that drama, I wouldn't recommend it as I guess not many people will watch such a quite long and 'slow' drama...
What makes that drama different is...the heroine is a welder. A girl, being a welder, it is pretty interesting, huh ?
The word, 'weld' is not that strange to me as I've heard it a lot when I was at college.
But then, I never did any kinda "welding" yet as I didn't took mechanical course during college, I took civil course...
I remember seeing my roommate's eyes were red in color all day because that was the first time she ever did welding, but for her...it's alright. She'd been wanting to do that welding since the first place and she told me that before...but I, that time I had no idea what welding is...

The hero of that drama is an engineer who designs ships. He took Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering during his study at oversea...
At first, I expected that this drama would show a lot of thing regarding his job as I'm interested to know more about it, but then, well...it's not. That's why I will not recommend this drama.

It is just, at least you can see pretty much of some tools or some designs...and what made me watch this drama until finish because it is actually about ships...well, shipbuilding, ship company, and...I never heard the word thruster and I had no idea what it was, but then, now I know, thanks to this drama...
Before anything else, please don't expect much if you're about to watch the drama as there're a lot of families' problems and...urghh....I don't really like it that way...


The next drama that I watched was "Asuko March!", a Japanese Drama of 9 episodes. Well, this drama, I think I would like to recommend it as there're only several episodes, and at least it shows a lot more about 'technical'.
The drama is about a girl, who has to study in Technical High School, called Asuko due to her mistakes when taking the exam. Well, actually, I think maybe it will be better if I can compare the Technical School in that drama and in my country, but then, I didn't study at Technical School...
Still, I studied at Technical College...
When she first enters the school, she feels pretty bad about being the only girl in her class, and at first, in her batch, there're 3 girls, but one girl transfers to another school... = ="

This drama does has side stories...but then it never forgets to still include that 'technical' things...
I really enjoyed the drama as, well, you know, sometimes, I could really 'feel' that girl's feelings.

In this drama, the girl has to use a lot of tools, machines and all that...and she doesn't have any ideas about them at first...you know, when you don't really wanna learn about something but you have no other choices, what else can you do ?

It reminds me the first time I went to study at Technical College, I chose it because I didn't have any other choices...TESL or Technical...I'm glad now that I chose Technical because of several reasons.

After a few months of study at Asuko, that girl starts to love doing what she's doing and decides to stay at Asuko...and blablabla...you have to watch it yourself. I don't wanna write other spoilers...
I highly recommend this drama if you're interested in knowing how it is to be a girl who studies technical things...
I can't deny it myself, it's quite tough but enjoyable at the same time.

Hmm...but actually, the ending is not that great...I really don't like it.

My favorite character will be Takeuchi Kazuya and I hope you'll like him too if you watch that drama.
