ASSIGNMENT 2 TASK 2

TASK 2 : CELL

This is the second task I hear. Depend on the task one, I’m be more used to the slang of Professor David Crystal.Even I’m not understand fully the recording, but it’s better compare wih task one. From this lesson, I notice that every country has it’s own and different word for same meaning. For example, the word “mobiles phone” are usually use in UK and the word “cell phone” usually use in United States. Even the word is different, but the meaning are same. This is cause by the slang and cultural from different country. I need to learn it from different country to improve my knowledge in English.

ASSIGNMENT 2 TASK 1

TASK 1 : OUT

Actually, I’m not understand what is talking about from Professor David Crystal in first time. Because it’s too fast and the slang are different from I current listen. I just repeat listen the recording, I try to listen it carefully and pay attention for every word. Then, I read the transcript to understand fully the recording. From this LEARNING ENGLISH, I understand that even every word has it’s own meaning, but, when it collocate with others word, it will has another meaning. Depend on this lesson, I aware that i still naïve in English, I need to study and learn more about the vocabulary.
