My Personal Statement
After a few years, being an actress was a dream for me. Until I entered UCSI University, I met a friend who always helps me. She asked what I am going to do after graduate in UCSI and I always said ‘I don’t know’. Until one day I saw the flyer she gave me and I read the course description, I feel interested to performing again. I tell myself if I am not going to do this, I will regret for my life. Therefore, I decide to talk to my parents and tell them that I wanted to change course. I feel that it is so different when I have goal in my life.
In the performing arts course, I will learn about skills of acting, directing, stage managing, lighting, and the use of video tool. This diploma course takes 2 years to complete and half a year of internship. This course covers two field of study which includes the theater and filmmaking foundation. I will experience on-stage, behind-the-scenes, in front of the camera and behind the camera.
I apply for the performing arts course because I want to perform and I want to learn more than what I know. I want to entertain people and I know we will easily change our mood after watching some movies. For myself, I will watch comedy movies and shows if I was in bad mood. I usually do that to myself and I find that my mood becomes better although my problem has not solved yet. Sometimes when I feel that I wanted to cry but my tears just could not fall, I will watch some sad movies so that my tears will fall and I will feel better after falling tears.
I think this performing arts course is suitable for me because I had tried to make a short clip myself using some basic video maker software. Therefore I hope that I can learn more complicated and more professional short movies making.
I started my ballet lesson and piano lesson since young. I have Royal Academy of Dance certificate and The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music certificate. Although the performing arts course do not have dance and music subjects but I believe that both of this skills will help me to improve my confidence when I perform ballet on stage.
I was a prefect in my high school and the head of the Rhythmic Gymnastics Club. I represent my high school in the MSSMKL Rhythmic Gymnastics Competition. I won a few medals in the competition. I was also an Editorial Board member in my high school.
After I graduate in the performing arts course, I will continue my studies aboard. I will major in acting. I wanted to study aboard because I want to explore more out of my hometown. I also wanted to have different experience in different place with different culture.

Access to satellite and Internet television does more harm than good.(Tynara)
Many people have strong feelings about the value of television, especially now that programmes are available through satellite and over the Internet. There are those who suggest that increased access to these programmes does more harm than good. However, there are those who insist that it is a good thing.
There are three problems with wide access to television programmes. Firstly, there are people (especially children) have access to programmes with unsuitable content.Violent horror and action movies can influence on immature. Secondly, more access to television encourages adult and children to watch more television, so there is less time for hobbies or family. Also, there is wasting time instead of educating yourself. For example, teenagers prefer sitting in front of television than reading or going to the theater. Finally, the programmes available may not culturally appropriate.
On the other hand, there are a lot of advantages to watching television. In the first place, a huge choice of programmes is available - something for every interest, for example sport, music, film, documentary channels. In addition, television programmes in other languages , for example English, can support language. For instance, movies with subtitles help me to improve reading and listening. Finally, it can be the only entertainment for disabled people. For example, people which not able to move can gain an opportunity to introduce with world.
In conclusion, I believe that, despite the disadvantages, access to television is essential to our life. The advantages of watching television are far greater than disadvantages. More over, we can not imagine our life without television.
Access to satellite and Internet television does more harm than good.
The satellite and Internet television gives people access to programmes around the world and an opportunity to learn about other cultures. The satellite television in Malaysia is called Astro. One of the Astro package is for learning. It has five channels such as Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Discovery Science, History Channel and Animal Planet. These five channels are in English. With these five channels, we can learn not only English but also knowledge and science. On the other hand, the other channel in Astro may have violent action that is not suitable for children. There is a service for parents to lock the channel that is not suitable for children. Kids today are intelligent. To them who born in this technology world, switching channel and unlocked password are very simple for them. Not only children but also young adult may have access to programmes with unsuitable content.
There are a lot of programmes is available in satellite and Internet television. We can find our favorite music, sports, movies and documentary channels in there. The most common Internet television, Youtube, has all kind of videos. People around the world share their favorite music videos, sports, movies and documentary video through Youtube. The comments under each of the video also give us a variety of ideas and opinion of the video. Most of the people in the world especially in the city spend most of their time with television and I believe that every house will have at least a television. Spending too much time on satellite and Internet television will cause less time for outdoor activities. This will cause addiction to television and will cause health problem because lack of exercise.
We learn new words very quickly from television. For English movies, we can improve vocabulary and sound of the words by listening. Although we can learn faster by watching television every day, but some of the programmes may not be culturally appropriate. For example, some of the English movies have sex scene and violent scene had been censored.
In my opinion, I think satellite and Internet television is good for me because I gain knowledge from the television. I also agree that television have disadvantages but it is depends on the person himself to gain knowledge from television or not.

My primary school was SJK (c) Confusion which is a Chinese school and my secondary school was SMK(p) Pudu, government school, which was an English school. After I done my SPM, Malaysian Certificate of Education, I had been chosen for the Malaysian National Service. I spent less than three months in Geo Cosmo Camp, Behrang. I start my first college in UCSI University after my National Service. I was studying music in UCSI for a year. I learn a lot in UCSI. Not only about music studies but also my life. I started to think why am I in UCSI for music. After sometimes of considering and helps from my friends, I decide to change course. I am going to Sunway University for Diploma in Performing Arts.
I stay with my paternal grandparents ,parents and my siblings. I have a elder sister, two younger sister and a younger brother. I speaks Cantonese with my family. I learn to write, read and speak Mandarin in my primary school. My ancestors are Hokkien but I do not know how to speak hokkien. I can speak Malay also because I was studying in government school.

Scientist on the decline
science teachers,so we have a decrease in number of students taking science.People ignore science and
importance of this,and they attention to popular books and other things more than invention or science.
first job for science are poorly paid,and maybe this matter is affected to this wive. Sometimes remedies
are not successful,as a result people don't trust to scientists.At the end,young people should be supported to
study science,because it's a primary need in the world.
SAMANE
Scientist on the decline (Tynara)
Scientists on the decline.
Graduates are going down approximately 5% annually. This leads to a decline of number of people able to teach science in schools. Therefore, less pupils taking science and continuing on to higher education. One of the reasons is that science is not important these days and people prefer discuss the popular book than any discoveries and innovations in science. Another thing, that the entry level jobs for scientist are usually badly-paid. However, scientist says that people to suspect scientist treatments are sometimes unsuccessful. Obviously, the world leave without scientist if young people will have no incentive and motivation to do science.

It is
It is difficult to learn a new language
Don’t you want to learn a new language? I think most people in this world have awareness to learn a new language. But it is difficult because the new language is not our native language. Money is important in this case. Books or anything about learning (teachers and many more) must be paid by money. Without money we cannot pay the fees. A teacher is the most important one. It is because we as human beings always make mistakes. Eventhough, books also have many mistakes (Cutting Edge Intermediate). Furthermore, if we want to be good in any languages, we must practice it every day, not to practice in the nick of time. It really does not work. Nevertheless, if we want somethings, we must be hard-working to realise it (nothing is impossible). So that we must put the effort is the highest one to make our dream come true and not like built castle in the sky.

Importance of university education
in high level,you have more choices to get a new job,and you can earn more money,too.For example,if you
have master degree your salary probably more than other people with bachelor.Second,you learn
democracy in university.You consider about different ideas and believes, it is possible you get on well
with people that they have different ideas of you.So you learn how you can respect to other views.Finally,you
can have a good prestige in society with university education.For instance,people respect to a doctor more than
ordinary employees.It is clear university education get an opportunity us to live in a better way. SAMANE

Exercise is necessary for good health
It's good for physical health and body shape. exercise helps people have a fantastic fitness.
In the case of having healthy bone structure, everyone should exercise in a regular period.Moreover, exercise prevent our body from other terrible diseases.
Scientists evidences show, when a person do the exercise, his/her body release endorphin that is a chemical hormone that reduce the feeling of pain and can make person happier.
In addition, exercise is totaly diverse with addiction. it's impossible to find a person who be an athlete and drug addict as the same time.
In conclusion, to justify the mentioned elements of truth,now i can say that exercise is one of the most important factor for having a good health.
King
Government should allow people to work more than thirty-five hours in a week
First reason for agreement is,working more than mentioned hours make more money,so will mean to have better qualities and facilities that can add more prestige to this list.Beside that,there are some poor people who have to work so hard to earn enough money for a simple lifestyle.
In other hand,working hard maybe lead to face people with some problems.Logically,the body of every person after several years will encounter with considerable diseases,like terrible backache,migraine and so on.
Second reason for agreement is that,there are some factories and companies that desire to improve in their fields and want to become more famous,like some brands that have to work hard to keep their reputation.
Another diverse opinion with hard working permission is that,people should spend enough time for their hobbies and their families.If people want to work more than government's schedule,they will lose considerable percent of their life.
To sum up,in spite of the fact that working more than thirty-five hours in a week maybe result in more convenience,but as my point of view,i'm disagree with this opinion,due to above mentioned elements for advantages of working in usual way.

Things to consider when renting a house or a flat

Things to consider when renting a house or a flat
Second, the size of the house or the flat. How many rooms do you need? Usually it depends on how many children you have or how many people will be living there?
Third, the cost, how much money will you be paying for rent? Some people have a budget for the rent they will be paying, but when you are looking to rent, you always find the rent a bit higher than your budget!
Finally, the neighbours, some people like to find out who lives next door! Usually people with family and children, like to look for neighbours with family and children too. If it's a students lookin to rent, they will be happy to live next door to students too.

Renting a house or flat is comfortable or hard
Exercise is necessary for good health
Having at least three times per week physical exercise is very good. Specially in the morning it aware you to feel sleepy in the day, start a day very energetic. More over when you do it will forget about your life problems and far from stress. To have this fun you do not need to pay anything. You just need to care about yourself. Mental exercise is a thing we mostly do it every day, for example when we meet some one new we try to remember their name, phone number and etc.
So, to have a healthy and happy life is necessary to have exercise.
Fatemeh
Things you consider when you rent a flat or house
of all,safe place is really important for every person.In addition,cost is a vital factor and influence to
your choice.In my opinion,neighbourhood is really important.For example, access to public
transportation and facilities can be vital for people.moreover,most of people prefer to live in a quite place
and they want to near workplace or class.Finally,furniture is important,too.If they are new and are made in
a high quality you can live easier.

It is difficult to learn a new language
From my idea if you be interested to learn any languages or any thing else it wont be so much difficult for you. Because when people like something they will be ready to suffer the difficulties. One more thing is there of course its gonna be abit difficult to learn new language because you are new in that but after some time it is going to be easier and more fun. But when you don't like or forced to learn or do something most of the times it will be so difficult to you.
So, I think first important thing to learn a new language is your interest and second is know why are you learning it? after that every thing will be OK and easier.

When you do physical activity, you burn calories. The harder you exercise, the more calories you burn. Also exercise is very good for your blood pressure, your cholesterol and your heart.
Exercise improves your mood. After a stressful day, a workout at the gym or 30 minute walk, can help you calmdown. Exercise makes you feel better, have more energy and perhaps live longer.
So exercise is nececcary for good health. Keep active and exercise, you will keep healthy.
Studies show people don't exercise, they have high blood pressure, heart disease and they look older than they are.

Furthermore, mostly Malaysia finance get from agriculture, food production, tourism, car industries and many more. For your information, Malaysia agriculture is called FAMA.
This instution has helped many Malaysian citizen. Malaysia's rubber and palm oil production is the biggest in the world. PROTON is the only national car industiry in Malaysia which make me proud of its.It because many country in the world don't have their own national car industries.
Before I has forgetten, didn't you know about Malaysia languanges? Malaysia has many languanges, for the example Malay,Tamil,Chinise,English and many more(I cannot tell all because to a lot and I don't know, hehe). Therefore, Malaysia has many culture and religous.I don't know how to explain more.You just come to Malaysia(fantastic) and you will amaze with its.
Iran the bride of middle east
Although the official language is Persian (Farsi) , some people speak Turkish and Arabic.
People form all over the world come to Iran for several attractions such as milad tower which is the most enormous transmission tower in the middle east. Although Tehran is the capital city of Iran, Shiraz is the most absorbing city in Iran. It has lots of historical places such as Persepolis , Pasargad , Sadie tomb and Hafezie tomb.
Iran has good natural resources such as coal , gas and oil. The economy of Iran is based on exporting the same natural resources. Farming , tourism and traditional handcrafted such as carpet are the other important parts of Iran's economy.

It is located in middle east of Asia. Its border to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey and Iraq. In geographical situation is that it has the Caspian Sea in the north and the Persian Golf in the south and surrounded by the Alborz and the Zagros mountains.

King
Although Persian is official language in Iran,people speak Kordish,Arabic,Torkish.You can see a lot of cultures live beside each other.
Iran was ruled by king,and Mahammadreza Pahlavi was the last of them.After revolution in 1978 he forced to leave Iran.Many things have changed since of this date.Before this Iran was very strong in tourism,but now some reasons make it weak.for instance world sanction,politics problems and....
Iran has a lot of natural resources .the economy in my country is based on oil.Iran has valuable stones,the best of them is Firuze,it has brilliant color and i love it.
Esfahan and Shiraz are the most famous cities.Alighapoo in Esfahan is the wonderful palace and 33pol and pole Khajoo can show you iranian were very creative and clever in 500 years ago.Perspolis in Shiraz is very famous in the world ,and if you go to Louvre musem in Paris you can see a part of this monument that related to about 2500 years ago.
In north of Tehran, mountain the whole of the winter is covered by snow and in summer is a good place for grass skiing.
The majority of people are Muslim.However,some of them are Zoroastrian,Christin and Jewish.Iran is a unique country because has variety weathers and cultures and religions.Although people in Iran have different ideas and cultures,they live together in a peaceful atmosphere.
Iran is a wonderful country,but the most of people in all around the world have a bad imagination about my country.I think they don' know Iran and Iranian.

Introducing Tynara
My name is Tynara. I’m from Kyrgyzstan, which located in Central Asia and borders Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and China. I work in Kuala Lumpur. I have been living in Malaysia for three years. I live here with my family: my husband, son and daughter.
I don’t need to pass IELTS exam for graduate University, but when I finish whole course at the British Council, I will try to pass this exam to check a level of my English. English is good opportunity for me to introduce to culture of many countries and make friends. So, last year I decided to study English and started from Elementary. Unfortunately, when you work full time (like me), it’s sometime hard to combine work with study.
Currently, I don’t have a time for some hobby. But I used to design women’s clothe and sew it myself. I like going out with my family and visit popular attractions. I hate housework, but I have to do it and I dislike computer games, because for me this is wasting a time. I’m not interested in shopping.
And last thing, when I complete my term in Malaysia, I will try to work in some English speaking country.
About myself
I'm get on well with them and I really miss them.I'M optimistic and
I'm good temper with people,and if I like something I'm very hardworking.
I adore to painting and music and I really keen on learning both of them. I spend much time chatting with my friends and it's not good point in period of time,because I'm here to learn English,just that.I've been in Malaysia since 27th of January and I think stay here almost one year.
I have some reasons to learn English.At first English is the international language and if I want keep in touch with people all around the world I should learn it.At the other hand i need to ilets score to apply in some universities.I need to get more than 6 band in my ilets exam.
At the end I have a lot of plans for my future,but at the moment some of them are more important for me.I want to study in interior architecture and other thing that is very important for me immigrate to other country.I prefer Canada,because I think this country get me an opportunity to improve my talents and my interests,and it's a huge country and majority of population are immigrants.
Introducing Mary
My name is Mary. I've been working at British Council Malaysia for four years! I really enjoy teaching here because the students are interesting and come from many different countries. I've been teaching Academic Reading and Writing for about one year. I really enjoy looking at the skills involved in reading and writing in depth. I am also responsible for writing the course, so I'm very interested in what students have to say and what they want.
Something interesting about me? Well, I once ate fried crickets in Cambodia! I really didn't want to, but my hosts had prepared them especially for me and there was no escaping.
I’m looking forward to working with you on the course.
