Independence Day

Hari merdeka also known as hari kebangsaan (National day), refers to the day when theFederation of Malaya's independence from the British Empire was officially declared. At exactly 09:30 on 31 August 1957, the declaration was read by the first Chief Minister of Malaya, Tunku Abdul Rahman at the Merdeka Stadium in the presence of thousands of people including Malay Rulers, members of the federal government, and foreign dignitaries.







What is the meaning of merdeka to you? To me, it as an appreciation for the sacrifices made by our ancestors.The blood that had been spilled, innocent life wasted, the tears that had been shed, their hard work, money, the time they spent to get us where we are now. We shouldn't let that go to waste.

When independence day comes, I will go out with friends to visit historical places in Malaysia. in this way, I can feel the true meaning of freedom. we will take our time to recall the struggle which had been sacrificed by our forefathers in liberating the country from invaders.

Everyone has their own way to appreciate the independence. As Malaysians, no matter how old we are. We are encouraged to appreciate the freedom that we have to make us are always grateful and thankful . We also have to maintain the prosperity of our country for the next generation.
thank you.

                                        

The Benefits and Advantages of Mastering Other Languages

There are many kinds of languages in the world. Language created for us to become easy communicate with others. language also allow us to know something and give something information through the language used. therefore, we are encouraged to learn more than one language because a lot of benefit and advantages that would be obtained from that.

One of the most phenomenal benefits of learning a new language? doors are opened to you around the world. If you’re learning in a group setting, you immediately have new friends to share your new language with. If not, then once you go somewhere and are actually able to employ what you’ve learned, you’ll be surprised how open people are when you speak their mother tongue. it will be easier for you to understand what they talking about.


Then, it a so builds self-confidence. Self-confidence is a natural consequence after summing all benefits of learning a new language. By simply mastering one skill, the other faculties are developed. People tend to gravitate around multilingual people because of their skills; others simply find the polyglots’ openness and quick-mindedness naturally attractive.
 

Foreign language expands career potentials.With universal unemployment problems, a multilingual ability is definitely a competitive edge over others. It is an ability that tells of a person’s intelligence, flexibility, openness to diverse people, and decision-making skills. And these are just bonuses to the evident ability to communicate in several languages and cross cultural barriers.

Lastly,the mind becomes keener.A study conducted in Spain showed that polyglots, or multilingual people, have alert and keen minds. They easily spot anything that is irrelevant or deceptive. The study was conducted comparing multilingual and monolingual subjects; and the former notably had the edge. The discipline that they developed in studying an unknown subject has molded them to become more perceptive. Thus, they learn to be critical-thinkers.

So, we must learn more than one language because a lot of advantages that we can. I hope that what I have shared these can provide interesting to the reader to try to learn another language. Thank you.
