this post is specially for those 3 kids... so, use this essay wisely okay dear? hehe.
A family is the first school in which a
child receives the basic values of life. He learns good manners in the family.
The morals and values learnt in family become our guiding force. They make our
character. They lay the foundation of our thinking. I feel fortunate to be born
in a family where values are inculcated in early childhood.
I belong to a middle class family. There
are five members in my family. They are my parents, I, my younger brother and
my younger sister. My father is the head of the family. He enjoys a commanding
position. His decision is final in family matters. Nobody can dare to go
against him. Everybody respects him. He is the guardian of the family. He is a
cool and considerate man. He is just and fair. His decision is never influenced
by any other. He is a retired teacher. He helps us in our study.
My father is an executive marketing . He is
a great disciplinarian. He is sincere and hardworking. He always goes to office
in time. My mother is a lawyer officer. She is a postgraduate in English. She
is soft-natured and caring. She takes great care of us. She does not care for
her comfort for us. She helps the poor and the needy. She is religious and
God-fearing.
Our family has been known for discipline
and values. We give great importance to values and morals in life. Since our
early childhood we are taught to respect the elders and love the children. We
learnt the lesson of punctuality and honesty from our grandfather. It is due to
the good education of our grandparents that we could excel both in sports and
education. Since our childhood we have been put into the habit of rising early
in the morning. This has a natural effect on our health and physical fitness.
Our family is like a heaven. There is
peace, prosperity, love and care. The younger’s have regard and respect for the
elders while the elders show them with their love and affection. The
instructions of the elders are followed with great respect. If a member has
some problem the whole family is beside him. I am proud of my family.
Malaysia is a federal constitutional
monarchy in Southeast Asia. It consists of thirteen states and three federal
territories separated by the South China Sea into two similarly sized regions,
Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo. The capital city is Kuala Lumpur,
while Putrajaya is the seat of the federal government.
The country is multi-ethnic and
multi-cultural, which plays a large role in politics. The government system is
closely modelled on the Westminster parliamentary system and the legal system
is based on English Common Law. The constitution declares Islam the state
religion while protecting freedom of religion. The head of state is the King,
known as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. He is an elected monarch chosen from the
hereditary rulers of the nine Malay states every five years. The head of
government is the Prime Minister.
Malaysia contains the southernmost point of
continental Eurasia, Tanjung Piai. Located in the tropics, it is a megadiverse
country, with large numbers of endemic animals, fungi and plants.Malaysia's
foreign policy is officially based on the principle of neutrality and
maintaining peaceful relations with all countries, regardless of their
political system. The government attaches a high priority to the security and stability
of Southeast Asia and seeks to further develop relations with other countries
in the region. The Malaysian constitution guarantees freedom of religion while
making Islam the state religion
The official language of Malaysia is
Malaysian, a standardised form of the Malay language. English remains an active
second language, and serves as the medium of instruction for maths and sciences
in all public schools. Malaysian English, also known as Malaysian Standard
English, is a form of English derived from British English. Malaysian English
is widely used in business, along with Manglish, which is a colloquial form of
English with heavy Malay, Chinese, and Tamil influences. The government
discourages the use of non-standard Malay and has instituted fines for public
signs that mix Malay and English.
A cook making murtabak, a type of pancake
mixed with eggs, small pieces of meat and onions, in Kuala Lumpur. Char Kuey
Teow made by frying flat noodles with fish cakes, cockles and bean sprouts is a
popular dish in Malaysia.
Malaysia has a multi-ethnic, multicultural,
and multilingual society. The original culture of the area stemmed from
indigenous tribes that inhabited it, along with the Malays who later moved
there. Substantial influence exists from Chinese and Indian culture, dating
back to when foreign trade began. Other cultural influences include the
Persian, Arabic, and British cultures.
Traditional Malaysian art was mainly
centred around the areas of carving, weaving, and silversmithing. Traditional
art ranges from handwoven baskets from rural areas to the silverwork of the
Malay courts. Common artworks included ornamental kris, beetle nut sets, and
woven batik and songket fabrics. Indigenous East Malaysians are known for their
wooden masks. Each ethnic group have distinct performing arts, with little
overlap between them.
Malaysian batik is usually patterned with
floral motifs with light colouring.
Traditional Malay music and performing arts
appear to have originated in the Kelantan-Pattani region with influences from
India, China, Thailand and Indonesia. The music is based around percussion
instruments, the most important of which is the gendang (drum).
Malaysia has a strong oral tradition that
has existed since before the arrival of writing, and continues today.
Malaysia's cuisine reflects the
multi-ethnic makeup of its population.Many cultures from within the country and
from surrounding regions have greatly influenced the cuisine. Much of the
influence comes from the Malay, Chinese, Indian, Thai, Javanese, and Sumatran
cultures,largely due to the country being part of the ancient spice route.The
cuisine is very similar to that of Singapore and Brunei, and also bears resemblance
to Filipino cuisine.The different states have varied dishes, and often the food
in Malaysia is different from the original dishes.
Sometimes
food not found in its original culture is assimilated into another; for
example, Chinese restaurants in Malaysia often serve Malay dishes. Food from
one culture is sometimes also cooked using styles taken from another culture,
This means that although much of Malaysian food can be traced back to a certain
culture, they have their own identity. Rice is popular in many dishes. Chili is
commonly found in local cuisine, although this does not necessarily make them
spicy.
Muslim holidays are prominent as Islam is
the state religion, Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Hari Raya Haji , Maulidur Rasul
(birthday of the Prophet), and others being observed. Malaysian Chinese
celebrate festivals such as Chinese New Year and others relating to traditional
Chinese beliefs. Hindus in Malaysia celebrate Deepavali, the festival of
lights, while Thaipusam is a religious rite which sees pilgrims from all over
the country converge at the Batu Caves.Malaysia's Christian community
celebrates most of the holidays observed by Christians elsewhere, most notably
Christmas and Easter. East Malaysians also celebrate a harvest festival known
as Gawai. Despite most festivals being identified with a particular ethnic or
religious group, celebrations are universal. In a custom known as "open
house" Malaysians participate in the celebrations of others, often
visiting the houses of those who identify with the festival.
Why I should study german’s language? Of course I
should! I mean, German is a great language. It is the most spoken one in
Europe (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, some parts of Holland and Sweden), which
are such big countries. Learning German language will open the doors to various
cultural centers of Europe: Berlin, Vienna, Geneva, Zurich, Frankfurt and
Munich. Country's strong economic position has also led to the use of German as
the preferred language of commerce in a number of Eastern European countries.
It
is very similar to English in some aspects. It's a challenging language. It
sounds lovely! And it will give me the opportunity of comunicating with many
people in Europe. It's important in the business field.
Although it is very complex. The grammar is
abundant, very extended, but I think it's all worth it. I should be able to
manage it anyway.
Learning another language requires a great
deal of day and night effort for very many years .If German is the language of
my choice and it will be to my advantage then I have to go for it. it is very difficult and I n will have to
stick with it.
