Comments about learning English

Tell us your problems in learning English.

Mostly my problems with English is my vocabulary which is weak as i cannot think of good vocabulary to use during writing a composition.

What works for you and what does not?

I try reading newspapers to learn more English sentence, words and it does help me a lot. But when i try read book i will forget it and sometimes does not understand the meaning of the sentence. After all i still think read newspapers and watching news help me the most.

Film: Chicken a la Carte

What is your initial reaction after watching the clip? I feel pitiful for this people as they does not have a proper meal to eat everyday. They have to eat the leftover food which is left over by the customer in the restaurants. This leftover food is very unhygienic and they still have to eat and feed their whole family, this may cause spread of diseases and having risk of getting sick. In many countries, there are also many people who died of malnutrition and starvation from hunger. The video also shows many customers from the restaurant wasting alot of precious food which i think they does not know how many people in the world died of hunger.

Think of three questions you have about the clip.

Which country does the video show?

Why the government of the did not give aides these people from suffering?

Why does the people there waste so many food?

Try to provide some answers to your questions.

Maybe this video show is about our neighbor countries Philippines or Indonesia.

Maybe the country is too poor to provide aid to these people.

Maybe many people there take things for granted as they are selfish and they care about themselves only.
