Resume Materi Talk Show (yang saya janjikan)

Eits! Tunggu..tunggu!

Jangan kaget ya, kalau postingan kali ini pake bahasa Inggris karena pematerinya juga berbahasa Inggris, jadi saya keenakan nulis resume dalam bahasa Inggris yang entah betul entah kagak.

-hosh..hosh..capek!-

First speaker : Prof. Dr. Armenia, MS, Apt.
Dosen bidang Farmakologi, Fakultas Farmasi, UNAND

• Interested to English since Junior High School
• English is her favorite subject
• At University (1st year), she found that most of textbooks was written in English. She worked hard, went to library, read all the books, and translate it with the help of dictionary. Now, she can read English textbooks easily.
  
• She listened a Medicinal Chemistry lecture given by an American lecturer. Medicinal Chemistry was a new topic at that time. Fortunately, she got A- for that subject.
  
• She couldn't get a scholarship to US because of her not-so-good marks. But she kept trying and trying.
• Finally, she got the chance to go to US at 1997.

• Learning is a process, no one can be success at instant

• Motivate yourself, so you can do anything that you want

  
  

Second speaker : Miss Desmizayatri (Miss Tili)
Dosen Jurusan Sastra Inggris, Fakultas Sastra, UNAND

• There are many students who have big motivation to speak English well, but they are too shy or too afraid of making mistakes.
• Bad culture of Minangese people : Bahaso Minang se lah kabau
• Friendly environment is important for making our self familiar with English.
• English need practice
• Importance of learning English : update your knowledge, make friends, get better jobs, get scholarship abroad.
• To get better jobs in foreign countries, you must possess high TOEFL score (>450)
• To get scholarships, you must get high TOEFL score (550 for US, 500 for Australia)
• If you wanna continue your study in countries which don't use English as the first/second language, you still need high TOEFL score and good English skill.
• To entertain yourself, you need English to enjoy movies, songs, plays, or games.
• With help from social networking sites, you can make friends from many foreign countries.
• What we need is : courage to practice English. Even if you take a wellknown English course, it doesn't guarantee you to speak English well.

Nah, saya sudah memenuhi janji kan?

Btw, ada kata-kata yang menyinggung masyarakat Minang di atas (yang fontsize-nya kecil). Tapi saya harus menulisnya karena hal itu memang disampaikan oleh pembicaranya dan hal itu memang kenyataannya.

Bahaso Minang se lah Kabau (Berbahasa Minang saja lah, ******) ---> saya tahu, ungkapan ini cukup kasar. Bagi teman-teman yang ga ngerti, beberapa orang Minangkabau menggunakan ungkapan ini untuk orang yang berbahasa selain bahasa Minangkabau (bahasa Indonesia, English, dll). Nah, jangan sampai kita (khususnya masyarakat Minangkabau) patah semangat untuk mempraktekkan bahasa Inggris (atau bahasa lainnya) hanya karena ungkapan ini. Dan jangan sampai lupa dengan bahasa daerah sendiri karena keasyikan berbahasa asing.

Sekali lagi, saya minta maaf, saya bukannya mau menyinggung unsur SARA di sini.
Oya, bagi yang kurang paham dengan postingan ini, jangan sungkan-sungkan! Tanya aja langsung via komentar..
