UFS 201 : TASK 7

Today, corruption is the most one enemy to all country in the world including our country. Corruption political is the type of corruption that is the use of power by government officials for illegitimate private gain. Corruption poses a serious development challenge. In the political realm, it undermines democracy and good governance by flouting or even subverting formal processes. The affect of corruption in our country is from all side like economic, environmental and social. The worst affect is from side economic because corruption inflates the cost of business, it also distorts the playing field, shielding firms with connections from competition and thereby sustaining inefficient firms. To overcome this corruption being too bad, we must be the one that always to avoid attitude corruption in our life and the leader on this country must honest with their governance too decrease corruption in our country.

UFS 201 : TASK 6

As we know 1 Malaysia (pronounced One Malaysia in English and Satu Malaysia in Malay) is an on-going programme designed by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak on 16 September 2010, calling for the cabinet, government agencies, and civil servants to more strongly emphasise ethnic harmony, national unity, and efficient governance. 1Malaysia stresses national unity and ethnic tolerance. The 2010 values of 1Malaysia as articulated by Najib Tun Razak are perseverance, a culture of excellence, acceptance, loyalty, education, humility, integrity, and meritocracy. In my opinion, I think that we is been living in unity as 1 Malaysia because we were living with many religion and culture. As examples, in our country we have much culture like Kadazan-Dusun, Melayu, Cina, India and more.

UFS 201 : TASK 2

Everyone has his or her own idol and for me, that idol is a very famous figure is Bill Gates. This is simply because he is too brilliant not to admire. First, his background is really privileged. Born into a wealthy family, Gates had many advantages to develop his talents (omit). At the early age of 14, he took an interest in programming and began studying it. He was also such an intelligent student that he scored 1590 out of 1600 on his SATs and subsequently enrolled at Harvard College in 1973. However, he decided to leave after 2 years at college to develop his own business - a software company. That is nothing compared with his achievements. He is the one who created a turning point for Information Technology to develop so strongly today. He wrote the Altair Basic program, completed Microsoft, which is indispensable for every computer now. Moreover, he has been one of the richest people with a quoted worth of $59 billion in 2007 as well as being one of the most influential people in the world. He and his wife are also very philanthropic, contributing large amounts to charitable organizations. Finally, when most of other famous figures usually have messy lives with scandals, Gates does not. His personal life is a happy and peaceful one. He has a beautiful wife, two daughters and a clever son. You could say he is very lucky. Therefore, in short, there may be many other excellent figures, but Bill Gates is always the one I love and admire most. He is my role model.

UFS 201 : TASK 1

Nowadays, many people have a problem in speaking English and I am the one that have a problem and difficulties in speaking English. My problem that I cannot speak English is lack of self-confident. I realized that I have this problem because of myself confident to speak with other people that usually use English in their daily life. Besides that, I ‘m a person that shy to talk with other people. To improve my English proficiency I have many ways that can help my problem with speaking English. First, observe the mouth movements of those who speak English well and try to imitate them. As example, when you are watching television, observe the mouth movements of the speakers. Repeat what they are saying, while imitating the intonation and rhythm of their speech. Second, until you learn the correct intonation and rhythm of English slow your speech down because if you speak too quickly, and with the wrong intonation and rhythm, native speakers will have a hard time understanding you. Do not worry about your listener getting impatient with your slow speech it is more important that everything you say be understood. Lastly, listen to the 'music' of English. Do not use the 'music' of your native language when you speak English. Each language has its own way of 'singing'.
