Task 2: Daily Reflection (Writing Skill) 100 MARKS

My first ELA class: Today’s first class was great. Miss Lulu explained about how MSU’s
system works and what to do. Her hilarious humor gave a good mood to focus on what
she was saying. I think we’ll get along fine with everyone in our class. I’m glad to have
a crazy, funny and caring lecturer like Miss Lulu. <3
WHY I CHOSE MSU?

The reason why I chose MSU because I don’t have to chance to go out from Sabah
Kota Kinabalu study because my brother and sister left Sabah to west Malaysia work
and I’m alone with my parents. I have to stay here and take care both of them until my
father retire from his work.
“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making
new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're
doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.” By Neil Gaiman (English author, graphic
novelist…)
My View: Wisdom comes from making mistakes, having the courage to face them, and
make adjustments moving forward based upon the knowledge aquired through those
experiences.
For me, this is an extremely special / unique matter… because what are friends for? We
choose friend because we can learn what they had learn in life . We all have to learn what is
life going on for future secure for our children and families. I know friends are important but
there is 2 two type of friend which is a normal friend and a trusted friend. Trusted friend is
whenever you need help in life they will be there no matter what.
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how
you made them feel.” By Maya Angelou (American poet, memoirist, activist)
My View: It’s because people will always take you for granted. Most likely that they
won’t remember what good things you do. But they will always remember the bad
things you do. So be careful when choosing friends. Also be careful to what you do to
other people because it may scar them forever.
One of My Choice of Songs & the Reasons why I chose the song is / are…
I like Billie Eilish. Her music is just dark enough, just edgy enough and just
different enough to appeal to the indie and alternative crowds, but is still similar
enough to mainstream pop for it to appeal to a wider audience as well.
Her lyrics also seem to resonate with a lot of people. I’m not big on her music
myself - I tried her latest album out a couple times before deciding it wasn’t for
me - but from what I’ve heard from fans of hers, her lyrics play a big part. And
from what I can tell, quickly skimming the lyrics from her latest album, she does
seem to express kind of a jaded, depressed persona…which is something I
think a lot of listeners (especially younger listeners) can relate to.
She also dresses quite differently from a typical music star, which makes her all
the more appealing to the alternative music crowd
“Life is all about evolution. What looks like a mistake to others has been a milestone in my life. Even if people have
2019 Page 3
ELA
betrayed me, even if my heart was broken, even if people misunderstood or judged me, I have learned from these
incidents. We are human and we make mistakes, but learning from them is what makes the difference.”
By Amisha Patel (actress, model)
My View: : I love evolutions. Whenever you fall down from something, you can always
find a way to get back up and try again. There’s no perfect human being in this world.
People will betray you, hurt you and even use you. But as soon as you learn from it,
you’ll be grateful it happened to you.
My Recommendation on Novel / Movie / Comic / Programme(s) & Comment(s):

Avengers. Sometimes, you have to sacrifice everything you love for a cause. Iron Man
joined back the team on the condition that he would be back alive and get to live with
his family. But in his final moments, he knew he had to keep aside his personal needs.
He had to put everything on the line and sacrifice himself, because he was the only one
in the position to set things right. Some victories come at a heavy cost, costs that no
one else may be able to pay for, and only you can. In that moment, you have to think
above your own self. You have to grow above your personal interests. Just like Peter
Parker said in Civil War "When you can do things that I can, and you don't do them, it
feels like it's all happening because of you."
“Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you
happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your
family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.” By Earl Nightingale (American writer, motivator…)
My View: Time is short and precious. Do the things you want to do and don’t hesitate.
For One Social Problem in Malaysia, I choose racism which I have obtained from myself,
the detail of the source as above. The problem is, Racism can be revealed through people’s
actions as well as their attitudes. It can also be reflected in systems and institutions. But
sometimes it may not be revealed at all. Not all racism is obvious. For example, someone
may look through a list of job applicants and decide not to interview people with certain
surnames.
Racism is more than just words, beliefs and actions. It includes all the barriers that prevent
people from enjoying dignity and equality because of their race.
‘Many people chase after money. They strongly believe money will solve everything!’:
Yes, many people are chasing after money because money can solve almost everything. You
can buy anything you want/like. It just makes our life a lot more easier. But of course, there’s
stuff that you can’t buy with money like love. But we can use this money for good things like
donating to charity and etc.

Self Directed Learning
As time progresses, new systems are “incorporated”(mixed, used applied ) with the
previous systems or practices to “inculcate”(becoming a habit, possess, part passel) the
culture of excellence. Self Directed Learning (SDL) is a practice whereby the learners are
“encouraged”(motivated) to learn in groups. SDL is very “beneficial”(benefits) to learners to
obtain(get) more knowledge, “enhance”(upgrade, improve) “proficiency”(level of skill,
expertise ), gain various experience via practice and sharing as well as improving qualities of
a skilled graduate. There are few matters learners must do during an SDL session: Learners
will have to gather in an area or classroom; confirm the objective; then discuss the subject
matter and/or do revision; and finally record the “accomplishment”(achievement). Through
this practice learners are encouraged to be independent learners who are aware of their
strengths and weakness. SDL will be “evaluated”(check) by the respective subject
academician and learners are allocated certain percentage of marks for their effort and
achievement. Learners can enhance their communication skills via discussion, seeking for
clarification. At the same time learners are exposed with the experience of shared learning
and gaining knowledge.

I love my mother. She is my very best friend. My mother takes my care all
the time. She wakes up for me early in the morning. She prepares our
breakfast and fill my lunch box with tasty food.
She makes everything ready for all family members in the morning before
they wake up. My mothers takes a great care of my health and my food. I
love to go to market with my mother. My mother takes care for all of our
needs and wishes. She is always ready to give great sacrifices for us. My
mother is always worried about all the things about me.
She never let me feel bored. Though she works all the day in our house
yet she never complains about it. She serves all the family members very
well. The mother is really a great gift of God. I always pray for the health
and long life of my mother.
Exemplary Mothers
Mothers are the angels send by God Almighty to safe-guard the children. So it
seems from the few exemplary mothers that I have had the privilege of knowing, being
friends with, being related to and being inspired.
Jovita Damianus, a mother of three beautiful children – namely Ajwa, Ajmal and
Ajdiya – is humble, beautiful, diligent and very stylish even with so many tasks at hand. She
is very loving and gives the best for her kids. She never yells or shouts at her offspring. On
the other hand she would punish them when it is too much by keeping quiet. This mood of
2019 Page 29
ELA
the mother tends to scare the children. They would one by one try to persuade and make
their mother calm by apologizing and behaving.
The next individual is Fannie Ferdinand, a mother of three as well – namely Noel,
Bridget Faith and Gabriella – is rather a cool and steady person who never panics in any bad
situation. She is super intelligent with such great grasp for programming. She does not get
emotional at petty things or be dramatic. She is very cool. She tries very hard to ensure all
her children get the best of things: may it be school, food or clothing. There is no
compromise when it comes to her children.
Another exemplary mum is Jacquelin S. Linggu. Such a marvelous classy lady with
tons of patience! She is very systematic and ensures her child, Isabel, is growing and
learning healthily. She will never let her child down – a promise is a promise – that is
something she feels strong about. She really communicates with her daughter and listens to
all the comments and suggestions put forward by her child.
Hm, how can I forget my own mums? I have two such special ladies: one being my
biological mother (my mummy) and the other being my foster mother (my mum). Mummy
(as far I can remember) was very gentle and yet stern; a strong believer of God; a great
teacher who loved education and knowledge whilst, mum is a very strong sophisticated
woman; independently active; quite popular among her peers of business people and
ministers.
There are various characteristics that make each one of the mothers stand out as
‘super moms’ or exemplary mothers. Yes, they are not perfect but, they are the most
fabulous beings among the human beings that I have known. They have committed their
lives for their children and family without expecting anything in return. Now, how cool is that!

MAIN IDEA & IRRELEVANT IDEA:
(a) The solar system is believed to have formed, perhaps 5 billion years ago, from a spinning
cloud of gas called a nebula. As this nebula contracted it began to spin faster and faster.
Probably it spun off rings of planetary matter as it became more disk-like. These rings later
contracted into planets. Earth is the third planet from the Sun.
2019 Page 31
ELA
Main Idea: The Formation of the Solar System and our Planet
Irrelevant Idea: The Sun rotates around the Earth
(b) Ice floats on water because it is not quite as dense as water is. The chemical formula for
water is H2O. If ice was denser than water, then lakes and other bodies of water would freeze from
the bottom up during the winter. Fish would surface and eventually die.
Main Idea: Ice Floats in water because it’s not as dense as water
Irrelevant Idea: Ice is more dense than water
(c) Exercise is really good for one’s physical and mental health. It is proven that aerobic
exercise is good for the heart, which is very important to overall health. I used to run every
day, but now I go to dance classes to get my aerobic exercise. Strength training is important
for maintaining muscle mass and improving bone density.
Main Idea: Exercise is important to maintain your health
Irrelevant Idea:Exercise will damage one’s health
(d) Another problem facing a number of elderly people is living on a reduced income. The
amount of their monthly income is often significantly less than they received when they were fully
employed. They may have arthritis or rheumatism and it is painful for them to move around. For
some elderly people, however, the small amount of money they receive will not even cover their
monthly bills.
Main Idea: Elderly people is living on a reduced income
Irrelevant Idea: Elderly people are getting overpaid
(e) Different students use a variety of strategies when setting about writing their academic
assignments. Some students, for example, dash off an entire and effective essay with
minimal editing. Writing reports is more difficult than writing essays. On the other hand,
some people make very good use of the practical strategy of developing a workable plan,
executing that plan, and then minimally editing what they have written.
Main Idea: Different students use different types of strategies when doing assignments
2019 Page 32
ELA
Irrelevant Idea: Students are robots that uses the same way to do their assignments
Read the following paragraphs and write the main idea for each of the paragraph.
1. It is bad to have food stuck between your teeth for long periods of time. This is because
food attracts germs, germs produce acid, and acid hurts your teeth and gums. Flossing
helps to remove the food that gets stuck between your teeth. This explains why flossing
helps to keep your mouth healthy, but some doctors say that flossing can be also good for
your heart.
Main idea : The Benefits of flossing is to have healthy teeth and gums.
2. Have you ever wondered what keeps a hot air balloon flying? The same principle that keeps
food frozen in the open chest freezers at the grocery store allows hot air balloons to fly. It’s
a very basic principle: Hot air rises and cold air falls. So while the super-cooled air in the
grocery store freezer settles down around the food, the hot air in a hot air balloon pushes up,
keeping the balloon floating above the ground. In order to understand more about how this
principle works in hot air balloons, it helps to know more about hot air balloons themselves.
Main idea : Hot air balloons can fly is because that hot air rises up and cold air falls down.
3. When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. When we get
older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest
animals. In fact, the animal that kills the most people every year is one that you have
probably killed yourself many times: the mosquito.
Main idea : mosquito kills more people than predators such as tiger and sharks
4. There are about 300,000 drug addicts in this country. More and more are joining the ranks
of drug addicts in Malaysia. Many people are worried and the authorities are asking for co-
operation from all quarters. Only about one in 50 addicts is being treated for their addiction.
Main idea : drug addicts in Malaysia are increasing because addicts are not receiving
The help they need
-The authorities needs our help to handle the increasing numbers of drug addicts in Malaysia
5. Anyone who starts smoking runs a high risk of becoming addicted to nicotine which is a
poisonous drug – it can even be used to kill insects. Children who smoke are much more
likely to get infections, such as colds and pneumonia. Each time you light up a cigarette, it
hurts your heart, lungs and brain and the longer you smoke, the worse the damage
becomes.
Main idea : Nicotine is a addictive and poisonous drug that can cause diseases to people
That smokes cigarettes.
-People that smokes cigarettes has a higher chance to damage their internal organ.+

SDL TASK:
1. What is the difference between Dementia and Alzheimer?
2.
Hypertension
Hypertension is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is
persistently elevated. Hyper tension is also sometimes called high blood pressure. High blood
pressure usually does not cause symptoms. Long term high blood pressure, however, is a major
risk factor for many illnesses such as coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation,
peripheral vascular disease, vision loss, chronic kidney disease, and dementia.
High blood pressure is categorized into two major types, which are primary high blood pressure and
secondary high blood pressure. According to statistics, about 90 – 95% of cases are primary
hypertension. This type is defined as high blood pressure due to nonspecific lifestyle and genetic
factors. Lifestyle factors that increase the risk include excess salt in the diet, excess body weight,
smoking and alcohol use. The remaining 5 – 10% of cases are categorized as secondary high
blood pressure. This type of hypertension is defined as high blood pressure due to an identifiable
cause, such as chronic kidney disease, narrowing of the kidney arteries, an endocrine disorder, or
the use of birth control pills.
2019 Page 34
ELA
Blood pressure is expressed by two measurements, the systolic and diastolic pressures, which are
the maximum and minimum pressures, respectively. For most adults, normal blood pressure at rest
is within the range of 100 – 130 millimetres mercury (mmHg) systolic and 60 – 80 mmHg diastolic.
For most adults, high blood pressure is present when the resting blood pressure is persistently at or
above 130/90 or 140/90 mmHg. Different numbers apply to children. High arterial blood pressure
affects between 16 and 37% of the population globally. In 2010 hypertension was believed to have
been a factor in 18% of all adults (9.4 million globally).
Lifestyles changes can lower blood pressure and decrease the risk of health complications.
Lifestyle changes include weight loss, decreased salt intake, physical exercise, and a healthy diet.
If lifestyle changes are not enough then blood pressure medications are used. Up to three
medications can control blood pressure in 90% of people. The treatment of moderately high
arterial blood pressure with medications is associated with an improved life expectancy.

5) Although often referred to as tidal waves, a tsunami is not a usual wave which is only much
bigger. People unaware of the danger may remain at the shore for collecting fish from the
exposed seabed. Instead it is an endlessly onrushing tide that forces its way through any
obstacle. Most of the damage is caused by the huge mass of water behind the initial wave
front. The sheer weight of water is enough to pulverize objects in its path, often reducing
buildings to their foundations.
