Language & Communication

LANGUAGE is the development of the basic form of communication between human beings, and in a society. And just as it is the basic form, it is also the most developed. Different countries speak different languages and that's why came about hundred languages in the world. To get different races to communicate with each other, English came as the international language. Nowadays, English is used widely in the world of finance, commerce, education, research, and the dissemination of knowledge.

I am now taking my foundation program at HELP University College and was planned to advance my degree with the hope to pass my foundation which I found that it could be a tough life for me in the coming next 4 years time.For the first day of my study, I found that everyone here are communicated in English and they speak it fluenty just as their mother tongue.This is the first task that I met and forced th face it because I was grown up in an environment which Mandarin is my mother tongue and language I used to communicate with my family since I was born.My parents seldom talked to me in English even I was in secondary school, most of my friends used to communicated with me either in Mandarin or Bahasa Melayu.These have reduce my opportunity to speak English in my daily life and affected me for not prepare well before I go to college. When I step into the college, I found that it is difficult for me to accommodate myself to this new environment.

I still tried my best to learn and improve my English. In college, everyone seem to speak in English and now is the time and chance for me to forced myself speak out bravery even sometimes I still need to think for a while before I speak. This is the only way for me to communicate and get to know ones better. Furthermore, it helps to build up a friendship with someone new. I believe that I can overcomes this problem soon if I put more effort onto it and for my advise, is good for parents to communicate with their children in English since they were born because it could helps to make their kids's life more easier than mine.
