PART 5 (ACADEMIC WRITING)~ an activity.


When I was 8 years old, I learned a lesson about friendship from my favorite activity, playing hide and seek with my friends. Each game we would take around 20 minutes to complete our game. My friends would come to my house to start our game. We also would play at school before class or during lunch time. We would hide around of the school. Before we start our game, we would choose who wanted to seek for or find the others. I like part to be the person who presents the others. It was fun and adventured for me to do it. Awkward I tried to find my friends I was fell because of my own mistakes. Suddenly, my friends who are near with me helped me. From this experience, I learned the value of friendship. The experience had taught that friendship is a feeling in which you care someone more than yourself……

my sweet memory.....~Chapter 5


I am very sure which everyone have a sweet memory in their life. Sweet memory is the situation that we like to remind always.

my sweet memory when I was in secondary school at SAMTAJ . I recognized with my lovely friends in year 2000, but we started became a "gang" in year 2001. "Fazalinsha Nadila Zaninasyieha" this is the name of our group. The name come from our members name.

our group have 12 members. we do everthing together such as go to eat, school, bath and so on =)....We are very closely. I am still reminds one situation which we late went to canteen to take our lunch. Actually we have others 10 minutes time to eat, but the auntie doesn't give us food and she said the times was up. After that she clean the counter and kept all the food at back of the canteen. We decided took it by our ownself. We looked like a thief. At the time we eat, the auntie saw what we did, but she just looked and smiled to us. the situation so funny.

I am not denny when others people said many members in our group can make much misunderstanding between us. This is because difficult to fulfill every wish at the same time. But we take it as a positive situation which it can make us to be matured to settle that misunderstanding with carefully.

Now we still contact between each others and meet when if we wish to do it.One of our group members go to Auckland to continue her study. 7 from us continue our study in Malaysia and the rest chose to work.

“BUYING SOMETHING JUST FOR ITS IMAGE……”~chapter 4

Are you buying something just for its image? What the meaning of image? Image is a picture on the screen of a television, cinema or computer. Advertiser creates an image to grab consumer’s attention. For example a watch, the advertiser will creates the image of watch to make the consumer like a sporty, luxurious, youth or energy.

What criteria do you choose to buy something? Are you buying it only for its image, or its quality? A person who buying a product for its image more than its quality that showed they are bad in manages their finance. For me, if a person buying the product only for its image without think about the quality and other aspect will make they misspend their money.

Actually at the moment we buy a product, we not think only the image, but we also must think the quality of its and how much it’s important for us. If you can give 100% for the image, what the percentage can you give for quality? You must always think about it during you buy it. The images without the quality of the products are not necessary for us.

However, if you want to make yourself will respect from other persons, you should always to think the image of the product. This is because, other persons will see you from the image you use. It called as materialistic. So, what do you think about the image?
