Descriptive Essay

My Favorite Food.

               

 

I would say that I love Malaysian Indian food. Coriander, turmeric, cumin and curry feature heavily in Indian dishes along with rich ingredients such as ghee, yoghurt and chili. The best way to describe Indian food is elaborate, fragrant and hot. I love it because I love to eat spicy food and I love the curry smell. Indian food typically utilizes three main elements, ‘Masala’ or fragrant spices, “Dhal’, lentil soup in a pasty texture and chutney. Bread is oven-baked into circular, flat shapes while meats are usually cooked in curries or fried in bright batter. Mutton Kurma, Roti Canai and Tandoori Chicken are the most Indian food that I love.

 Mutton Kurma or mutton curry is a delightful dish of lamb or mutton cooked in a medley of spices-coriander, aniseed, peppercorns, turmeric, cloves, star anise, cinnamon sticks, nutmegs and cardamoms. Cumin is its main ingredient, giving the curry a rich yellow complexion. The taste is simply a delightful blend of spiciness that’s not too overpowering with an explosive zing in the middle. How can I refuse that dish if mutton is the very favorite of mine.

Next is Roti Canai. I am sure that not only me who loves this dish. I think all the society love it. Roti Canai is very common among the Malaysian. A favorite for breakfast, Roti Canai is the ultimate in simplicity and taste. It is basically a kind of pancake made by combining wheat flour, oil, ghee, or butter, rolled up into a ball and then swung into the air until it takes a flat, oval shape. It is then fried on a hot iron plate and served with dhal, chicken or fish curry. There are many variations on the same theme that include putting in eggs to make it ‘Roti Telur’, sardines to make it ‘Roti Sardin’, bananas to make it ‘Roti Pisang’ and so on. Roti Telur is my favorite one.

Last but not least, the extremely be my favorite Indian food was the Tandoori Chicken. Tandoori Chicken is the whole spring chickens or chicken quarters that are marinated in a deep red batter with yoghurt and spices and then skewered on a metal stick. They poles of chicken are gingerly placed in a steaming hot circular oven from the top. Covered for a time and then lifted out, the result is a delicious red chicken that is wonderful to the tongue. Tandoori chicken goes well with a spicy mint sauce and plain or unleavened Naan bread. I always eat this during the weekend with my whole family.

As the conclusion, Indian food is something that delicious and interesting. I would prefer to all the food lover to try this kind of food. I am sure that the Indian food would be your favorite food after you have a try on it.

Persuasive Essay

Children Should Require To Read More.

 

               

 

Reading is probably one of the most beneficial and feasible activities that a man can do. It is through reading that a person is going to be able to discover new ideas, concepts, places, and people. Some people even describe reading as a journey that starts as the opening of a page, and finishes as the last page is turned. Reading is something that is beneficial, especially to your children. Studies show what common sense tells us, the more kids read, the better they read and the more pleasure they get out of reading. Unfortunately, the reverse also holds true, children who read very little usually have poor reading skills. Reading is a struggle for them, and they avoid it whenever possible. We absolutely should encourage our children to read more because it is a key to a good education both in school and socially, to improve their language and increased reading levels correlates to higher test scores.

I firmly believe that reading is the Key to an Education. Children should read more in and out of school. Reading is the key to getting a good education as it opens up the path to everything else. If kids can't read, they don't learn science, math and health. Children need to be able to read to broaden their minds in class, at home and on the Internet. I encourage all the children to read more because someone who full with knowledge and education will be held in high esteem from the social.

Children extremely should be required to read more in school. With technology has come the decline of the language. Most young adults coming out of high school can't spell or use proper grammar. Language is important for communication, and society functions well when people can understand each other. I trust that reading can expand the children vocabulary by exposing the children to more new words. By the increases of a child's vocabulary and grammar, and has the potential to improve their writing skills.

Reading absolutely can help children to score in their examination. When reading, children expose to many things. The more they read, the more knowledge they gain. So that, it can help the children to score in their examination and all the students will become more proactive and will be high competitive among them. Meanwhile, it can raise up the school name due to the students get high scores in the examination.

For the conclusion, reading is something that beneficial for the kids. Parents should take part to encourage their children to read more. Reading is something fun and exciting because the children will gain more knowledge and they can apply the knowledge in their daily life or for the future. We need to train our children from their childhood because that they will replace us in the future and of course we need an excellent generation to be a leader for the future. For the last word, I persuade all of the parents to encourage their children to read more and it is also beneficial for our own sake.   

Informative Essay

The Benefits of Breastfeeding.

            

          

 

What is breastfeeding? Breastfeeding is the normal way of providing young infants with the nutrients they need for healthy growth and development. Virtually all mothers can breastfeed, provided they have accurate information, and the support of their family, the health care system and society at large. Colostrum, the yellowish, sticky breast milk produced at the end of pregnancy, is recommended by World Health Organization as the perfect food for the newborn, and feeding should be initiated within the first hour after birth. Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended up to 6 months of age, with continued breastfeeding along with appropriate complementary foods up to two years of age or beyond. Breastfeeding provides a lot of benefits. It can be good for the baby, for the mother and the most important thing is for the financially.

Firstly, it is good for the baby because breastfeeding can protects your baby from the long illnesses. Numerous studies from around the world have shown that stomach viruses, lower respiratory illnesses, ear infections, and meningitis occur less often in breastfed babies and are less severe when they do happen. Exclusive breastfeeding (meaning no solid food, formula, or water) for at least six months seems to offer the most protection. Besides that, breastfeeding can protect your baby from developing allergies. According to the research, babies who are fed a formula based on cow's milk or soy tend to have more allergic reactions than breastfed babies.

Secondly, it is also give advantages to the mother. Breastfeeding can reduces the risk of breast cancer. Women who breastfeed reduce their risk of developing breast cancer by as much as 25 percent. The reduction in cancer risk comes in proportion to the cumulative lifetime duration of breastfeeding. That is, the more months or years a mother breastfeeds, the lower her risk of breast cancer. Furthermore, breastfeeding can promotes emotional health. Not only does breastfeeding benefit a mother’s body, it also benefits her mind. Studies show that breastfeeding mothers show less postpartum anxiety and depression than do formula-feeding mothers.

Finally, breastfeeds can be beneficial to your financially. Since you don't have to buy and measure formula, sterilize nipples, or warm bottles, it saves you time and money. It also gives you regular time to relax quietly with your newborn as you bond. Besides that, according to Natural Resources Defense Council, women who breastfeed avoid the financial burden of buying infant formula, an average expense of $800 per year.

For the conclusion, breastfeeding is something beneficial to be practice for all the mothers. It can be benefits to your baby, to your own health and for your financial. It is good and healthier instead feeding your baby with the formula based on cow’s milk or soy. For the last word, have a bonding time with your baby by breastfeeding.

 

Argumentative Essay

If homework harmful or helpful?

 

 

Homework is defined as an out of class task assigned to students to help them practice and prepare for their future. Homework has been around for a very long time. It is set and traced as a tradition of having teachers assigning work and students completing it. Parents say that teachers require it and teachers say that parents demand more of it. Teachers assign homework to help some students improve their grade and pass the course for those of who do not do well on tests or standardized examinations. Can homework be considered helpful or harmful to students? This controversy turns into arguments and disagreements. For me, homework totally can help students in study because there are many benefits we can get from doing homework. Everyone has their own opinion right? I have my own opinion too about this topic because I think it is better if I say homework is helpful to students. Why? There are my own reasons why I support this topic.

First of all, homework can helps the students to practice what they have learned from the classroom. Our brain is not a computer that can save all the data. We might forget or missed something about what we have learned from the classroom. We need to refresh our brain and recap what we have learned in the classroom. For example, the teacher was taught you about a new topic in mathematics, you may not well versed yet in that topic. So, you can practice more at home by doing the homework that given from the teacher and in the same time you may improve your skill and your understanding about that topic. As a quote said that practice make perfect.

My next reason is, homework helps you to learn new things and re teach you on the things that you already know. When you are doing your homework at home, you can browse all the things that you don’t understand or the new things from the internet. In addition, you also can improve your prior knowledge and you can share it to your classmates. You can be advanced from the other students that do not want to do their homework. This also can helps you become excel in your examination.

Finally, homework may not be fun, but not everything in life is fun. The most important thing about teachers giving homework, is that it helps you so much on standardized tests. You work hard on homework and get better test grades. Everyone likes that. As the opposing side said, sometimes you have so much homework that you miss a baseball game or run out of time to go to your friend's house, that's true. But, education is way more important than recreational events or things. Education can help you to have a bright future.

   For the conclusion, homework actually give many advantages to students and it is helpful to help students to be more understand on what they had learn  in the classroom. Besides that, homework helps teachers determine how well the lessons are being understood by their students. I totally agreed with topic is homework harmful or helpful to students because for my opinion, I choose that homework are helpful to students.     

Reflection Week Ten

Hello week ten!

 

On the first class in this week Miss Amreet did not give any lecture and she asked all of us to have a discussion within our group members about the assignment of the Digital Story Telling and the pair work assignment which is the homepage. First, I have discuss with my group members about the script for our Digital Story Telling and it 60% done. After that I leave to my friend Fatin Zalikha to finish with the script because she need some space to get the inspirations and ideas to writing the script. My partner and I continue with our homepage. Our homepage was 60% done at that time and we still need to add many things in our pages. We need work faster because this Friday is the due date for submitting our homepage. Miss Amreet monitor us during that one hour class. She were checking us whether we are doing our work or not.

The two hours class on that week was fill with the lecture. During the lecture, Miss Amreet encourage us to write succinctly. She told us to always be positive and never be negative because with being positive everything can be done easily. Next, we need to trust the reader that will understand what we write. We need to choose the Anglo-saxon words. Anglo-saxon words means we use the one word that bring the same meaning but the word is extremely bombastic instead of using many words to explain something. I hope I was wright. If I was wrong Miss please correct my mistake. Besides that, we need to remove redundancies, shorten inflated phrases and keep verbs alive. I also learn new word on that day. The word is ‘staycation’ which mean vacation at home.

Finally, my partner and I managed to finish our homepage on time. We do our best for this assignment. I hope Miss Amreet will like it.  That’s all for this week. Hope to see you soon.

Reflection Week Nine

Hi and hello everyone!

As usual, this week we have a session with the lecture and another section with the discussion for our assignment. It was a hectic week because the due date for submitting the second pair work assignment which is the homepage. My partner and I just decided the template that we will use for our homepage and it quite confusing because all the template are nice. Finally we decide to choose one of the template and we started to decorate it slowly.

For this week lecture we continued with a new topic of Writing for Multimedia and Web. The new topic was the important style for informative websites. From the notes that I have jot down, one of the sub-topic from the main topic was the style for academic and scientific website. There are manual style of writing, technical and scientific writing. In writing for academic purposes, a few things that need to be highlight are the font matter, the body content and the back matter. We also need to use a suitable language according to the field of work that we are writing. For example for the lab reports, so we need to write the report with language that suitable with the science field. Miss also had shown us some examples and she also asked us to identify some examples that she given according to what field that the text are.

 In the second class, Miss Amreet let us discuss about our assignments. First me and my partner were discussed about our homepage. After the discussion about the homepage we move on to the discussion about our group assignment which is Digital Story Telling. This time, me and my group were having a difficult problem to be resolved. The platform we chose at first place wasn't really friendly-user, it's hard to deal with. As the result, our group leader have tried to google few platforms might be useful and she managed to find one which is really suitable and precisely helpful. So that’s all for this week, I hope I managed to cope with all the problems that coming. Bye!
