thanks dexa..     i also love to share my experience with all of you. dexa. Thanks and glad when you correct my sentence. this is what i need to improve my english.    I'm very appreciate what had you done..
what had i learned in last IELTS class was how to write an essay in both of task. I also learned about discourse markers either in speech or  writing, linking word, contrast.. and all the technique and trick to answer in IELTS..


some of the discourse markers such as

Futhermore, moreover,and, also, in addition, besides that, another, What is more, Not only that, on top of that -- is showing addition

for an example --- On top of that --->  The goverment raised the price of petrol. On top of that, they increased the toll rates.
                            Futhermore ----> She is wirting a book. Futhermore, she is editing a magazine.


So, Consequenly, Hence - is showing results

For an example ---- Consequently ---> They played in the sun for a long time; consequently, they were exhausted.
                               Hence -->The Ekspress Rakyat is a comfortable and fast train; hence, many people use it


But, On the contrary, Yet, However, Nevertheless, On the other hand, In contrast - showing Opposition

For an example --- On the contrary ---> She doesn't hate vegetables. On the contrary, she enjoys eating vegetable salads.
                              Yet ----> He is a happy man, yet he seldom smiles.
                             Nevertheless --> Fast food are bad for health. Nevertheless, they are very popular.


In like manner - is showing similarity
example --  When you visit another country, you should try to learn the culture of the people. In like manner, when other people visit Malaysia, they should try to understand our way of life.
\


Actually, they has a lot of discourse markers to make sure our writing or speaking become more interesting.

sorry if there have any mistake..

t.q dexa...
i think abortion and miscarriage is the same meaning..
but, when i check in dictionary it is different meaning...
abortion is 'pengguguran' and miscarriage is 'keguguran'...
so.. i must make correction on my statement..
'i had a miscarriage when i was six month pregnant'
so... i am miscarriage not abortion!

my english like standard one

eima80

t.q kelate_girl...
it is my first baby...
take care your self and you baby too..

nuha

dear eima,

You will miss him till the end of yr life
He's a part of you, nobody will replace it
Even you have another child, he's still in mind

it must be hard for you after 6 month -
just be strong and pray to Allah -

dexa

are you gonna sit for toefl..   

read a lots and understanding the speech are two
important things as well -

over 550 which is the requirement for universities entrance
