ENGLISH VINGLISH

Guyz today I am going to share my sob story, ever since from my childhood I had a habit of getting failed in English, though I took some extra care of this habit and kept failing my English subject. Even though I never considered English as a tough subject and language, just spelling and tenses are my cause of misery. I still remember my teacher who used to teach me English, he also had some serious problems in his English in terms of pronunciation. He pronounced CUP as SUP, Knowledge as Knooowwledge and machine as MACHEENE. After studying all these kind of things my English got sharper, I still remember when I had to fill my admission form of Metric in Colum of sex I started feel like shame and went into thinking how could I describe my sex fantasy in one line? At the start of the form, I had to write my own name, due to unawareness of English I had to travel to Islamabad, because it was written that write your name in CAPITAL. While watching English movies I got understand all story but could not able to understand a single story play, Terminator, Titanic, Transporter and some others all time favorite movies I got understand and enjoyed just because of sheerness of my intelligence. Few years ago it was cleared to me that I can understand Persian, Arabic, Pashto but not English, but things turned around drastically and now I can confidently say either I learned English or all other people got forget English, whatever the reason I am so happy. Now all the spells is being changed, all English words just consists of 2 or 3 alphabets, if we want to write “coming” so all we need to write is only CMG, GF girl friend, FB face book. Now the long English words can be cut down to short words. After doing too much hard work I memorize the spelling of UNFORTUNATLY but now UNFORT is enough, it means from where the tough spells start at the very time it comes to an end. This matter is not abolished here either, oftentimes some weird kind of situation

    [ Artists shouldn't be afraid to hurt their characters, and Brooks certainly puts his list of candidates on the line, including Deb's hysterical mother, Evelyn (Cloris Leachman in a role initially awarded to Anne Bancroft), and several children such as Bernie, Georgie (the Claskys' son), and Cristina, Flor's daughter. No one is safe from heartache. But, all are given the power to find peace. Flor (Vega) and her daughter Cristina, played by Victoria Luna Flor (Vega) and her daughter Cristina, played by Victoria Luna Spanglish really deals with affairs of the heart. One character gets involved in an all-out physical affair, and two other characters look to each other as soul mates and share several passionate-but-tense moments leading up to a very intimate evening. While these two characters physically share little more than a kiss, they have dangerously invested far too much emotionally and psychologically. Brooks' characters have great depth and awareness. Unfortunately, many of them are looking for fulfillment in empty places?lovers' arms, food, property, or other material possessions. Alas, Brooks leaves the final details to his viewers, who become part of the Clasky family for two hours as the director exposes the highs and lows of humanity. The audience has to figure out what happens behind the beautiful walls of the Claskys' LA mansion. From the beginning of the…

    In “Spanglish Spoken Here”, the author, Janice Castro, shows readers how Spanglish is using widely across the United State. She gives many examples showing that Spanglish is used by all ages of people across the state like Manhattan, Miami and Los Angeles. The author states, “Spanglish is common linguistic currency” (Castro, ¶2). Spanglish is commonly used by Spanish-speaking people and native-born Americans in their everyday life. Children who bring Spanglish to their home do not only learn it from their Hispanic friends, but also learn from outside school like watching TV. Castro then defines Spanglish as a Spanish sentence with one or two English words and is used in many different forms in different states such as California and Miami. It is because English words are easier to express the meaning of a subject than Spanish; Spanish-speaking people pick some English words to use in daily life. Although many Americans have exposed to other foreign language, Americans are willing to learn Spanish because there are almost 20 million Hispanics living in the U.S. In the light of the large growth of the immigrants from Latin American countries, Castro says that Spanglish has begun to become a “national slang” within the past 10 years. People who speak Spanglish most likely know Spanish. They have affected by the American culture and clipped the phrases shorter. At last, Castro points out that Spanglish is used widely by major advertisers whose want to use Spanglish to impress and promote products to…

    Spanglish, the composite language of Spanish and English that has crossed over from the street to Hispanic talk shows and advertising campaigns, posesa grave danger to Hispanic culture and to the advancement of Hispanics in mainstream America. Those who condone and even promote it as a harmless commingling do not realize that this is hardly a relationship based on equality. Spanglish is an invasion of Spanish by English. The sad reality is that Spanglish is primarily the language of poor Hispanics, many barely literate in either language. They incorporate English words and constructions into their daily speech because they lack the vocabulary and education in Spanish to adapt to the changing culture around them.…

    I have come a long way down my road of knowledge and learning of English throughout my life and it has taken me places and shown me things I would have never expected when I first started out on this long journey, and it includes things that most other student’s do not. I have learned so much, so fast and it has taken me far from home and around the world. While most of the people I know have traveled the same road their whole lives and have grown up in very similar ways, my experiences tell a whole different story.…

    The quote, “ It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”, by Charles Dickens is a particularly diacritic because of the difficulty in deciphering the underlying meaning. I agree with this quote because of the exemplary reasoning beneath all the different ways for interpretation. In my view, this quote shows that ones perspective on a situation is what deems one as positive or negative. The classic analogy is if the glass is half full or half empty. No matter how bad or good a situation may seem, it ones vista that decides if the situation was bad or not. This quote can be related to two enticing literary works The Odyssey, by Homer, and Hurricane Sandy, by God. Throughout The Odyssey, Odysseus is going through an extremely difficult situation, but he keeps a positive outlook. Also, in Hurricane Sandy, Joe Shmoe is going through a difficult time, but he looks at the other people across long island and he knows that he was better off than other families. Because of these outlooks this quote will lead to quite a lot of intrigue, Hurricane Sandy will deliberate.…

    There is no mystery about the root cause of the linguistic holocaust that we’re living through. Take a holiday anywhere in the world. Your airline pilot will, as you listen to the safety instructions (in English), be communicating with ground control in English. Signs in the airport, whatever country you are in, will be duplicated in one of the world’s top twenty languages – most likely English. You’ll see Coca-Cola logos. MTV will be playing on the screen. Muzak will be crooning Anglo-American lyrics as you walk through the concourse to baggage reclaim. At the hotel, the desk clerk will speak your language, as well, probably, as the bellhop. (His tip depends on being polygot.) Go to any internet café and the keyboard code that will get you best results is what you are reading now: English – the lingua franca of our time. . . . The spread of English is the product of naked linguistic superpower.…

    Throughout the movie there were many cultural differences and different ways that were shown how people lived. Flore went through hardship when she became the maid and everything for John Clasky, and his insecure wife Deborah. Flore had to learn English and overcome the difficulties with Spanish and English. While living in the United States Flore learned the basic language that people usually spoke. Flore was helped by Christina her daughter, to speak and to translate for her. The struggle that Flore went through was really weird. There wasn’t that much of a discrimination towards her because the family needed her help with the things. The cultural difference was the fact that she had to learn what the basic citizen of the United States had to learn. This was really hard for her because many citizens in the U.S don’t just speak English. The same situation that it was for Flore happens to a lot of other people that come to the U.S. There are many different languages throughout the world and if someone comes to the U.S and doesn’t know English it is really hard for them to not get judged. Just like in our debate I believe that people should learn the most common language of the country you decide to live in because it will be easier to live your life there. But if everyone wasn’t judgmental and would be peaceful in life there wouldn’t be any problems between anyone. Similar to the movie Crash, as the arab man did not speak English and his daughter was his translator is just like this movie.…

I figure loathing English when I was in secondary school truly appeared in my grown-up life, however now as a grown-up I think that its one of my most effortless subjects, since I feel that I'm exceptionally imaginative with regards to conveying everything that needs to be conveyed, or giving my sentiment on stories that I've examined. Case in point, my scrutinizing is more specific, and that to me is required for the work that I perform. I've even lost an awesome occupation for my frailty to bestow on…

    As I approach my last day of English 101, I'm reflecting on how my writing has changed throughout the semester..When I first came into English I knew that I was not good at writing, during my school years I struggle with grammar issue and sentence structure. while in English 101 ,the assignment that I struggle with the most was the first paper. I never had to compare features between a scientific and scholar article before. I was having a hard time trying to understand what my teacher want from me and how I could incorporate it into my paper . After staying and going to group session I better understand what she wants from the paper. after pre-review and redoing my whole paper, I felt that my paper was the best it could be. I did not think that I have any grammatical errors but I was so wrong. After receiving my grade paper I start to become discourage on how I was going to make it in English class.

    Whenever I'd be in class I would feel so lost because it’d take me a while to grasp exactly what was going on while the other students were ahead. This has affected my academic achievement in high school because it has challenged me to put in my efforts to achieve my goal, which has been to be accepted into the college I desire. Considering that it is required for students to pass four years of English, my path to succeeding that has been rough, but I’ve managed to work through it and give it my all. The language barrier has allowed me to think differently in the sense of being able to think in one language and say it in another. Unfortunately, that’s where my problem has been. Since I am bilingual, some times whenever I want to express or explain something it’s really hard for me to figure out how to put my thoughts into words and make it clear enough to where people understand me. Now referring back to my troubles in English class, I think that because it’s been tough for me to explain myself, it has played a part in the lack of strength in my writing. However, overtime I believe that because this has been such a challenging issue for me it has also been my motivation to keep on going even though it may seem too difficult at first. Reflecting upon myself, I can certainly say that I’ve improved my English comprehension and speech skills compared to my past…
