They are a few mistakes that I usually make when doing and English writing. The 1st one is when using proper grammar, it hard for me to use proper grammar such as past tense. Some time I use word that not what I mean to use.
  The 2nd is spelling error I usually make mistake when spelling a word why cause English pronounce and spelling have a huge different. When a topic have been given and as an example it have particular writing format I usually don’t know how to use this format like letter format. I would be nice to use an idiom in writing but I don’t know how to use a particular idiom. And when I use 1 usually I will make mistake.


Do I found English is difficult, this is a yes for me I found English is difficult because growing using Malay as my 1st language and English as my 2nd language make English very hard. Seldom use English when talking makes English hard for me. Pronounce a word in English also very hard. Cause the spelling is different with the pronounce the word. Building a sentence in English is also hard for me to do. Sometime when I do a sentence it lead to a different meaning. A word in English can lead to a different meaning depending a sentence I make. That also a common thing that make English very hard for me to do.

What is the problem that I face when I start writing? When I start writing I must have the topic to begin with. But when the topic got it lead me to absent minded I don’t know how to start it. Providing a proper example is also a problem when I am writing. I can’t provide a proper example when I do my writing. To evaluate an idea also a problem for me when start writing. As an example love I can’t evaluate what love is.

My suggestion to overcome this problem is use English even more. Read article in English and whit the help of dictionary find the meaning of the word. It will help a lot not only in English knowledge it also help me in writing. Listening to a English song also help a lot when it came to pronounce a particular word. Find the meaning of the word.

The fisherman cast their line off the pier hoping to feel a tug and reel in a big fish.

The sounds of PulauLangkayan beach are that harmony. Seagulls peacefully chirp as they soar overhead searching for food. The howling wind whistles through the beach like an arriving train. As the crash of the waves thunder through my ears, it brings me back to reality while I day dream. The sound of oil rigs across main street sound like a steady drum keeping the beat in an orchestra of sound.

Everything on PulauLangkayan beach has its own unique feel. The salty air blowing on my face feels wet and cool as it passed by.
