The Bridge to Our Differences

According to Vishal Yadav, “English language is a strange paradise. It is where fish flies and sparrow swims.”  It is remarkable on how English can shape one’s identity and manifest relationships between people. Learning English is important to learn and study because in the topics World Englishers and Kachrus Concentric state the importance of englishes that can help us communicate in many people not only in our country but also to other places for the reason that English is a norm and it includes all the variety of language. On the other hand, in Kachrus model, he proposes that the English comprises a unique cultural pluralism, linguistic, heterogeneity and diversity. He categorize the usage in three category. First is the inner circle that represents the traditional bases of English that is used for their mother tongue and primary medium the countries that belongs in inner circle are Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many more. Second, the outer circle that includes countries which have gave through extended periods of colonization this outer circle includes countries such as Singapore and India the uses English as a second national language or medium as they communicate. Last, the expanding circle this last circle are not the save effect in inner in outer circle but they used English for business and international process the countries that belongs to this is Greece, China, Israel and Saudi Arabia.

On the other hand I read in the article that there are another way to group the English by dividing them into, new, pidgins creoles this two can be connect in outer circle group of word englishes prepared by Kachru’s he argues that such framework of new englishes by affirmation and recitation. However, there are assumptions that this English such processes are part of the whole project of decolonization among formerly colonized countries where ‘owning’ English may mean independence. The phenomenal spread of English, carried mainly through globalization, has resulted in the diffusion of the language.

These play a vital role in our lives. Without these two, we cannot communicate with our allied countries for the reason that this model is connected to each other the main purpose of this is to promote and easily understand our language even if we are in different country. Because others are using Kachru and World Englisher as their primary, secondary and to expand language to foreign as its medium. No matter how we see it, at the end, it tells that English connects us to one another even when we have a lot of differences including the language that we speak.

MY LIFE AS A HUMSS STUDENT

12

My life started as a humss student when I entered senior high school I thought it was easy like GRADE 10 but I was wrong. The day I enrolled in Senior High School I already saw all of my subject in 1st semester and 2nd  semester that day I utter some words like ’’ whats this’’ because I have no knowledge about all of this subject. But I think positive thought so that I survive.

15

For me the most difficult subject that I’ve encounter In this 1st semester is General mathematics  because I don’t understand our lesson but in the end of the day I learned that this subject is really easy if I just try to go out on my comfort zone. I don’t hate numbers I try to love them but unfortunately this subject is not really for me. Languages are better , it’s one of my favorites.

21

Speeches and writing are one my favorites but sometimes I got irritated by the sight of them especially when I need to spend a single night to just to memorize a minimum of three long bond paper speech. My memory is not quite good . I envy those people who have them. The way they flip those pages and memorize the content of it by just merely staring is mesmerizing.

In terms of project and requirement I feel dishevel . It can be fun because of the activities we make such as shooting for a film, making a opposition and reaction paper. It’s like losing yourself in a cage where you can be free and reach your dream. It is true that requirement that are due can cause a lot of stress to the students but this stress triggers brilliant ideas , ideas that are forge in pressure and hardwork that can make an outstanding project .

Being a HUMSS student can be as stressing as it can be , but the experiences we have is as remarkable as it can ever be.

First I love nature because for me nature can be a true friend for us and the nature knows our feelings inside or what we were thinking. Like when Im upset I love to stare at the tree because it makes my mood lighten.

Second I’m totally addicted readers, reading novels is my favorite pastime when I feel bored. Reading widens the door of knowledge they give us an insight into this world to improve our reading skills and to gain more knowledge. However when I read a novel book it was made me relaxing and sometimes we are able to resolve many difficult problems by reading.

Third I love my Home Sweet Home I live in a small house which contain all the modern ameties, But still it is not less than a paradise but my house is full of happy memories. I’ve been to my friend houses where I find ultra modern decoration and lavish furnishing I’d like this type of home and I love the person who design and planned our home now She’s my mentor,protector, enemy and bestfriend.

The last but not the least is my family, family because without them I am not here they the one who cheer me up when I was down and they also make me happy when I’m sad even though we fight sometimes specially my brother but in the end of the were bestfriends .They always there when I needed  them. They support me whatever my decision is and they guide me when I don’t know what to do. They provide my needs. My parents would never leave me behind even if I face all the challenges that god has given to me. And their the one who’s telling me that no matter what happen I will never give even if life gets hard. My family is the best gift the god given me.
