Nowadays, speaking in English has become standard capability. When a company or factory open recruitment for they employees the first and the important capability that the employees must have is English. Even, in campus if there a student can speak in English fluently, it isn’t big news. Moreover many lecturers will give a good point to the students if they can speak and write in English.
Many people afraid to practice English, they said “I’m afraid if he knows my mistake” or “I shame to practice English”. One day, I watched television that presented about English. The man in the show said that “don’t afraid to the mistake, because we learn from our mistake”. We can’t be success if we never did a mistake. We cannot speak fluently if we never speak false word, or misspoke.
There a story about a person that study hard, work hard to practice English. He speaking English the way that he wants, he didn’t think about the formula. So, one day his friends come to his home, here the conversation:
His friend : (tok…tok…tok…) he knock the door
Person : who’s there..?
His friend : me...
Person : who..?
His friend : me
He wondered who it is, so he opens the door and…
His friend : hi, it’s me..
Person : Oo… you, I think who, know-know you (saya kira siapa, tau-tau anda)
What a funny story, the person shows his desire to practice English. We can laugh read this story, but we must learn to this person. He really want to speak English fluently, maybe at that time he make a mistake but in other time he will correct our mistake, because he make the mistake first and he learn from the mistake.
In Mathematics English Club (MEC) we also push the student, specially the organizer to practice English. Our program is “Saturday is English day”. At the time we launched the program many student practice English not only in Saturday but also in other days. But now, we didn’t hear student practice English even in Saturday. Maybe we have to give some punishment.
In the end of this article, I want to say, English is a language. English is not a knowledge or science. We learn it to practice, to use it in our live. We can’t know if there a student have a good capability in English if he didn’t speaking in English. So practice, practice and practice….
