MATRIC NO:A 112298

I think the online session, David Crystal is very interesting to improve my vocab and it also easy word to understand. I can learn more word from this session. I also can know the origin word, where the word come from and where is the first place people use it. I also can pronounce the word clearly because I can hear how to pronounciation the word from Prof David Crystal. This web is also interesting because I can learn more about the other country, how they pronounce the word such as from America, Spanich, Arabic and others.This web is very attractive to learn an English and I feel so interested to learn a more word and pronounce it. Finally, I hope all my friend and people who want to improve their can visit this website. Thank you.

IN YOUR DREAMS

I choose the word ‘ In your dreams’ because it cushy to pronounce and easy to understand the words. The word come in during the 1990s. The word intend to somebody is being unrealistic, very optimistic and very hopeful. The word mixes two senses of the world ‘dream’. All people in the world always use this word to tell their self not dream about the thing cannot realize with herself. For example, I wish to go to London but it cannot realize because I am so poor and I also don’t have enough money. The word are used in many ways and for reach different meaning. For example, taxi driver when in traffic jam with his passenger, the driver tell his passenger that he hope the road ahead was clearing although he know the road cannot and never be clean. The passenger said ‘in your dreams’ to taxi driver because the passenger it just dreams. The word not use just in the second person but also the first and third person in the conversation.



LIFE

In my opinion the word ‘life’ is a simple word all people would be understand. It easy to remember and also easy to pronounce. It mean the quality which people, animals, and plants have when they are not dead, and which objects and substances do not have or period of time during which they are alive. This familiar old noun ‘life’ used widely in the phrase ‘get a life’. The phrase goes back a couple of decades. It was US slang in California, years and years ago, and then it became the name of a US television show. And then it became all sorts of usages around radio, television, novels, short stories - don't take things too seriously! Chill out! Get a life! Usually it use when someone workaholic and does not interested other thing except their works, or for anybody obsessed with something like a television programme and others. That person might be told to 'get a life'.
