During the lunch time, my aunt told me to eat. While I was eating, all of a sudden a black cat which is quite big, jumping in front of me. The cat has made ​​me very surprised; because that's the first time I saw a black cat with a big body. The cat looked at me, like want to bite me. I feel afraid of the cat, so I tried to get up slowly, while bringing my food to another places, but the cat still followed me.

What are the common mistakes that u always do in writing? Do you find writing in English is difficult? What kind of problem do you face when you start writing? What are your suggestions to overcome the problem? Discuss.

          Common mistake I often do, when in writing, are the terms reorganization and adaptation sentences and grammar usage. I'm pretty weak in laying out a sentence, by the use of proper and correct grammar. In my opinion, the process of writing a topic, given in English, it is difficult if a person is poor, or do not know to use the English language while writing. However, for those who are easy in use English language, and can write in English, they are also not always easy to write something, because in the process of writing, a person must have a lot of knowledge, wise to organize and customize any use of the word, and also can provide ideas, which can be linked to or included in a literature. Furthermore, the problems I faced when I started writing that I often lack of ideas, and very slow to parse a point. Besides, I also difficult to organize sentences as well, because my English language usage, still at an unsatisfactory level, and my understanding in the English language is also quite weak. Therefore, my suggestion to overcome this problem is, I should be diligent to read and find additional knowledge through dictionaries, magazines, or books, and newspapers. Last but not least, a good way to improve my English language usage, is by hearing a word in the English language, such as television or radio, and I also need to be sensitive to those who communicate with me by using English language, because in this way, it can improve and simplify myself, in writing without there being an issue with certain problems.

       Worst luck that I had gone through in my life, and it's hard to forget until now is, when I was in form 5. In 2009, I was critical examination of educational certificates Malaysia (SPM). Actually I have a problems every month during my menstruation, and I always got pain in my stomach extremely. I experienced this problem when I want to take the examination for the first day of SPM. On that day, my body was very weak, and less able to go to school, but I forced myself to attend to school, because that day was an important day for all form 5 students. Everyday I follow the school bus, when in the bus, my cousin who also took the exam on that day, commenting on my face that looks pale because of pain. That time, my cousin told me back home, but I still insisted to go to school also. I spoke in my heart, I will face that day no matter how difficult is it, just for my future. On the same day, I could not stop crying for the pain. My face is pale, hand and my feet are very weak, and my head was dizzy, but I pray to be able to survive. However, I am worried, because all I have refresher lessons, indirectly lost, because I did not think a lot of the time. The first paper on that day is, the subject of Bahasa Melayu, and I realize It's very important subject. During the examination begin, I cannot answer well, because of my stomach was getting sick. I am very disappointed and concerned with my decision. On March 2010, my SPM result are already out, and I'm quite disappointed with the grade that I got, for the subject Bahasa Melayu. I do not get excellent grades, and then I was sad. However, my friends tried to reassure me, so I am pleased with the results I've obtained. Finally, I realized that I should be grateful for what I have, thought less brilliant, at least I did not fail in my SPM results. So, I promised to myself, I will face anything, for my future that I dreamed.
