My Reflection In Learning English

Two days ago, on 12th March 2009 Mr.Marsigit came late to my English class until fifteen minutes. So, I and two my friends went to Himatika for posting our English home work by blog. Suddenly, my friend missed calls me and finally, we came back to our class and Mr.Marsigit gave English test. I didn’t concentration because I came late to my class and last night I didn’t study. I got bad mark; I want to cry because I disappointed my parents. Besides, the question is at the bottom of mathematics such square, straight line, average, rhombus, etc but to get B, I can’t. I was very regret, but not only it so I must do reformation to my self.
Mr.Marsigit gave short story about a student from California. The student will go to Indonesia to do some research. I very admired with her, because she is very intelligent, diligent, high spirit, and keep one’s chin up to get scholarship. I think why I unable as her? If we are cheeper, so I am cheeper which have not feather. Listen that story, I want to revolt, I want to be her, and I must study hard to run down my ambition. Last day is bad experience but it becomes best teacher for me. It becomes reflection to more advance. I must study hard and I must read the books every day. I must remember with my duty, what the purpose of me goes to Yogyakarta? My parents sent me to Yogyakarta to study and doesn’t to just play. I must responsibility with my self. Although I far from my parents, I must study hard. I must change of my study system. I want to be candidate professional teacher. How that? Now, I make plans for times schedule my activity. I will apply that study principle so success in my study among others many people said that the continuing of study more effectively than study a night through. Besides, learning all of the material is better than learning a part of material. The subject matter which has meaning is nine fold easier then the subject matter which haven’t meaning so I will start to apply that principle. Every night I must study although don’t examination and routine minimal 2 hours. I must have a high motivation to study; even less if I look my friends in my class, they are very intelligent. I must throw away my laziness if I want to success. I must realize expectance my parents. They work hard to fund my study but why with me? Allah SWT gave me, very much comfort so I must study hard as worship with Allah SWT because study is long life education.
Mr.Marsigit also said that we must improve our competence in English. How we improve that? We must use many reference from book, we can go to library and there we can read the books. We can use internet, getting data or information from blog, furthermore IT is more modern. We can practice TOEFL from CD or browsing internet. Furthermore we know that, if we want to get foreign scholarship so our TOEFL score must more than 500. It means, I must increase my TOEFL score to get foreign scholarship. Subhanallah, if a student from California can get scholarship. Really I want as her, certainly her parents proud with her. We also practice communicate, speak, listen, translate, and write in English. We must improve our skill because it is very important. Furthermore English is very important to face globalization era. So, we have to can speak English although just a little. Because we are in mathematics education program so we must improve our competence in mathematics. Mathematics doesn’t experiment but mathematics is analysis, just analysis. In mathematics, there are axioms, theorem, and thesis-anti thesis. We must study to prove theorem because we are candidate the teacher. I remember with Mr.Tuharto, he said that “we must practice how to be a teacher? If we get something so we must extend to anyone. We are in mathematics education program so we must study to love mathematics. Furthermore Yogyakarta State University will become World Class University so we must also study English. If we dislike with mathematics and English so we will difficult next time. Wherefore, if we dislike with them because still semester two so go out from mathematics education program”. From Mr.Marsigit and Mr.Tuharto, I get new lesson that I must become agent of change, bad experience at semester one doesn’t repeat again at semester two. My future stills a long so I want to get much experience. To my parents, my family, my friends, I will study hard to get my ambition. Furthermore, in the Al Qur’an was mention need that Allah SWT will not change their condition if they didn’t have any effort.
