about something

In this corner, I will share about how to create a peaceful atmosphere in your office or the place where you work.

1. Keep Smiling

Smiling is the sign of warm hearth. It indicates that you are friendly. Smiling in this case is smiling that comes from you heart. It can be seen from your eyes. Believe or not, this kind of smiling can spread the feeling of love, and peace, caring easily. Even one day you find someone who do not reply you smiling, believe,, this smiling affects them, really.. She/he just needs time to decide, take the warm heart or not. If not, how poor he/she is. ANd do not ever regret to smile. You will never get a loss. Keep smiling.. :-)

2. Never talk about others bad side Or gossiping

Have you ever heard someone talking about someone's bad side? If yes, how was your feeling? Now compare,, If you heard someone talking about your bad side "behind" or "In front of" you? What do you feel?
well, nobody is perfect in this world,,,, including you..

3. Do not ever delayed your work
Do not wait until tomorrow what you can today.

Try to make a schedule and do it! If you do so, You will never feel stress or under pressured when the deadline of your work comes.

4. Be a smart person

Say what should you say and do not say what should not you say. If you want to say something to someone, think first whether it is wise to say that or not, whether hurt someone or not. If You have to say it, just say wisely.

5. Do not complain

Believe me.. Complaining along day only makes your days worse. Many people also do not like people who like complaining. How about you?

6. Be Patient

We live in the world with different kind of people and different situation,realize that!So, you may face a situation that you do not expect. Stay cool.. Difficult?? Try first. Just like fire and water.. We cannot extinguished the fire by using fire. It will only make it bigger. So, What will you do to make the fire out? Water.. Yes, use water. Stay cool and feel the effect.. Good Look.

7. Be humble

Being humble will make everyone loves you. So, they will not have any reason to hate you. A humble person usually can accept any critic or suggestion from others wisely. It makes them improve and their heart will free from hate.

8. Give compliment to the others but do not too much and too often
Have your friend ever looked at you attentively and then said "Hey, you look so beautiful today!"What did you feel? Happy? ehm..
Of course yes.. You can do it equally to all people around you, not only to your Boss :-) . Many people like it, don't they?

But try to do it naturally. If you like to give compliment too much or too often, your compliment has no sense anymore. Do it naturally,, and there will be many smiles that come to everyday.

9. Respect others

It is very important to respect others. I believe you know why...

How?? Do yo want to live peacefully in your office?????

Teaching English as the Second Language

Teaching English as the second language is not easy. We need to attract the students attention about English,. If they like English, they will easily learn it.

I've done some informal interviews to students in different level. I asks them whether they like English or not. Most of them answered not really like English. Do you know what is mostly their reason?

Because English is difficult.

Yes, that's their answer. They said when doing task in english class, they felt frustated because the did not understand most of the words given. Some teachers ask the students to find the meaning of words in the dictionary.Well,actually it's a good idea. But it's not effective when the students do not have or bring dictionary, or too lazy to open dictionary. Nothing to do..

Learning should be fun!

So, what can we do to help this kind of student?

Don't worry..

Apply some techniques to improve student ability in learning english. The teachers have to be smart and creative. There are so many techniques that can be applied in english class. It depends on the needs. There are some techniques can be applied in learning vocabulary, grammar, writing, reading, listening, etc. The techniques can be modified or combined based on the class situation. One technique that can be applied when teaching English is Think Aloud Strategy. It's a simple technique. The teachers can easily apply this technique in english class. I've approved this. I did a research of using think aloud strategy to improve the achievement of students in reading comprehension in SMKN 1 Sukasada in the academic year 2007/2008.
