Just for your information, I just got back from class.

On the 1st day of class, I got a shock. I had to pay for my textbooks! The cost that they never told me when I signed up. I felt a bit cheated. I estimated that for the overall course, I will need to fork out extra RM500+ just for the photocopied textbooks!! All these while I thought that it’s included in the course fee. Apparently… It’s not…

Anyway, let’s go back to English for Early Childhood Professional. What comes to your mind? Thinking of ABC thing? Simple English for the children? You are way too wrong!

It’s learning very advance English, well… Not that advance Hahaha… It’s just something you learnt back then in high school and primary school. This English is for the adult, not for kids The book used is very advance, it’s for college and university English.

Class started of by introducing us all the the grammatical rules such as I do, she does, we do, I am, you are, he is and etc. You know… All the basic English that you learnt back then in school, the first few chapters. Then we proceeded to types of sentences such as simple, compound, complex, compound-complex, then to parallalism and briefly about fragments.

Just something to share with you as many people make these mistakes including me sometimes *LOL*

Don’t say: Come fetch me.
Do say: Come pick me up.
Why: Fetch refers to object, it’s not to be used for human.

Don’t say: Follow me to the airport.
Do say: Come with me to the airport.
Why: Follow means you drive and your friend will be walking or running after your car.

Don’t say: I’ll send you to school.
Do say: I’ll drive you to school.
Why: Send is referring to object such as send you a present or send you a letter.

Assignment will be given next week and we will be required to write two essays! Oh dear… Going back to high school stuffs except you will be writing more than 600 words per essay which you will need to make sure you use the right tense, right vocabulary, right grammar and more. English class… I’m sure all of us went tru’ it before. Hahaha…

That’s all, nothing much to elaborate. I found out that I’ve forgotten many rules of the language hehehe…
