My opinion…..I think that David cystal learning is the best way to corret my pronoun. With this listening, I can learn how to pronoun. It will help myselp to improve my English language. Other than that, word in this listening is easy to understand. It mean that I will learn with enjoy and fun. I choose a word bling bling because it easy to understand and I also can know their meaning when I see the word in the first time. David Crystal tell about the history of the ‘bling bling’ in this article. It arrived in English in the late 1990, used to describe diamonds and jewellery and all kinds of showy clothing, accoutrements and others. Well, it became nationally known in the USA when the artist Baby Gangster - Cash Money artist - made a hit hip-hop song called 'Bling Bling'. And it soon arrived in Britain, where it was more usually used without the reduplication, you know, 'bling', by itself. It was the title of a novel by Erica Kennedy, and its sense began to broaden as people began to use the word in new ways. And even that definition is passĂ© - a rich meal can be bling. 'Bling Breakfast' was the headline of a newspaper article in New York a couple of years ago.anoter word that i choice is a Not"In the Sunday Times a couple of week's ago, I saw a usage written down - previously, I'd only heard it in speech. The headline read: 'Dumb Blondes, Not!' It was an article about a group of very high-powered women, and the headline was saying Dumb blondes, they are not!Well, you can see what it is, it's an abbreviation to the word 'not'. It's an unusual usage, putting the 'not' at the end, instead of in the middle. It's a bit like a tag - you know - tag questions, and tag statements. It's used to negate a statement of fact.But it's more than just a negative. It's actually emphasising the negative opinion of the speaker. The speaker is really saying, 'What I've just said is rubbish!' It's like, 'No way!' or 'I don't think so!'So it's usually used after an opposite point of view. I heard somebody say this coming out of a cinema, 'O, yeah, it was great film, not!' And then I've heard, 'This is a cool website, not!' And, 'Sure we're ready, not!'So listen out for it. It's a fashion and it might not last. And if it doesn't, you can always say, 'That's a cool bit of slang, not!'
