* SALAM BEIJING * - Khaty

I think the Beijing Olympic is very beautiful things and dramatic. Because this olympic was held in the summer of Beijing or known as The 2008 Summer Olympic Games. But, at officially known as the Games of the XXIX Olympiad. For your information, the Beijing Olympic is a major international multi sport event which is being held in country of Beijing republic of China. Its started from August 8 to September 17 on 2008. A total of 10 500 athletes expected to play in 302 events in 28 sports ( 165 men's events, 127 women's events and 10 mixed events. The Olympic game was awarded to Beijing after an exhaustive ballot of the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) was held on July 13 2001. Besides that, the logo games titled in Beijing is ' Dancing Beijing ' not a Dancing of Musical School...ha ha ha. Even, the Beijing's mascots 2008 are five Fuwa same like a colour of the olympic rings and its a symbol of Chinese culture. Fuwa will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship and peace. Each of Fuwa has a rhyming two syllable name a traditional way of expressing affection for children in China. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow. You can see the five elements of nature like the sea, forest, fire, earth and sky.

Now, lets talk about venues of Beijing Olympic. The venue of olympic at the Beijing National Stadium and also known as the National Stadium or colloquially as the "Bird's Nest". This stadium was completed in March 2008. The stadium is hosting the main track and field competitions for the 2008 summer olympics, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies. It is located east of the Beijing National Aquatics Center. The Stadium now holds the Olympic Flame cauldron, which is shaped as a conical scroll. The cauldron was placed on the top during the opening ceremony, so that it could then be lit at the end of the ceremony. The flame will now burn there until the end of the 2008 games. Although, the capacity of this place is can received about 91 000 peoples.

Lastly, I hope one day I will come to any olympic for watching the sports and ceremony in there........

GOLD MEDAL OF MALAYSIA

I think that malaysia will win a gold medal four years again if Malaysia's atheletes can improve their an exercise in the sport. But, they must have a good coach not only in this country but other country. Because the coach that take it must have an experience to the sports. The athelete that Malaysia's have is Daniel Bego, the Malaysia's best hope in swimming, not for a medal, but to advance to the semi-finals in one of three events he is undertaking 100m and 200 butterfly and 200m freestyle. Beside that, Malaysia also have high jumper like Lee Hup Wei that also make the final of his event although it would take a new national record to do so while sailor Kevin Lim is set to make a Malaysian record fourth Olympic appearance in the laser class.Elaine Teo will hope to go one better than her first round knockout in Athens in taekwondo, albeit in a heavier category, while Amirul Hamizan Ibrahim and Hasli Izwan Amir Hasan too will hope to make a mark in weightlifting and shooting respectively.By the time of the closing ceremony on Aug 24 in this year Malaysians will know if the ride will have been well worth it. And I also hope too......

Review article 1 ( Identity and Learning )

Khatijah Bte Sahak

I was read an article about "Can You Become A Better Person". I think it is impossible to become a better person, but we can do like that if we can make a credible case like a moral relativism and also a moral realism. A moral relativism is broadly speaking, the belief that there is no transcendent and fixed anchor point for right and wrong thing. The right and wrong thing is up to individual, society and also a culture. Beside that, the moral realism also is a moral of principles exist independently of humans belief or an opinions. Like Malaysia. In this country have many beliefs like religion of Islamic. People muslim belief's Allah although they can't see.But, they practise that call Rukun Islam and Rukun Iman. So, if you want to become a good person you must to become a right people but its hard to do and must learn from wrong thing. Even, you also have a challenge to relativists. Thats all.

Review article 2 ( Language and Learning )

Khatijah Nte Sahak

I was read an article "French Language Learning Issues" by the www.worldlanguage.com. And I very interesting about that. In my opinion, its good to children learn about french language and its also good to start from primary school again. The parents not only brought them to the new country and meet them to a new friend also home, but parents can also teach their children a new language by themselves. So, they can make friends and get by at school. For startly, every parents must support their children like if the teachers speak some English at school, and are willing to spend extra time with your child this should be seen as a bonus not a typical arrangement. But, you must teach them better earlier like from a primary school then they can speak within 6-12 months. After that, teach children speaking and reading adequately. Like parents send them in the tuition classes before enter them at secondary education. Even, outside from school, practice them to speak french like shopping at shop, at home watching television or playing games with their friends. But, don't forget that homework is a great opportunity not just for parents to help their child but to learn new words, expressions themselves and do exercises together. Thank you...thats all.
