A: Ladies and Gentleman, why do we have to learn English?
B: Saudara dan saudari sekalian, kenapa kita semua perlu mempelajari Bahasa
Inggeris?
A: I am not going to just stand here and tell you why. I have a story to tell.
B: Saya tak akan berdiri sini dan beritahu kamu jawapan. Saya ada satu cerita
nak diceritakan kepada anda.
A: There is one day, up in a bus,
B: Di suatu hari dalam sebuah bas...
A: This is what happened...
B: Ini yang berlaku...
C: Pelancong: “Hi, could you please tell me how to go to National Monumen?”
D: Pelajar nakal 1: “Huh National Monumen tu benda apa?”
B Pelajar nakal 2: “Dia nak gi umah Mak Cik Maimun kot.”
D: Pelajar nakal 1 "Hish takkan lah dia datang jauh-jauh nak cari rumah”
B: Mak Cik Maimun. Ok you go straight.. don’t belok-belok. Don’t belok-belok!
Straighttt jer... Ok?”
C: Pelancong: (Bingung)
A: Pelajar contoh: "Miss, I can help you, if you wanna go to National Monumen,
you go straight and you'll find a sign board. Then follow the sign board".
C: Pelancong: “Thank you very much.”
A: Pelajar contoh: “Tu lah, orang suruh belajar tak nak belajar. National
Monument tu Tugu Negara la.. Nah baca NST selalu. Senang dapat kerja.”

15. 15
A: Do you agree with the good student?

Buntar nak pelajar belajar English dengan lebih creative?
A: Lets hear from the Kedah Education State Minister.
B: Dipersilakan.
C:
“Kebolehan bertutur dan menguasai Bahasa Inggeris amatlah penting. Pada
saya, penganjuran program Waves of English merupakan wahana yang baik
untuk meningkatkan penguasaan Bahasa Inggeris di kalangan pelajar. Program
seumpama ini perlu diutamakan dan disegerakan pelaksanaannya di semua
peringkat.
D:
“Saya juga menyeru kepada semua pihak, khususnya kepada warga sekolah agar
tidak jemu-jemu memberikan kesedaran kepada pelajar-pelajar betapa
pentingnya bahasa komunikasi ini untuk kita duduk sama rendah dan berdiri
sama tinggi dengan negara-negara maju.
C:
“Penguasaan dalam Bahasa Inggeris bukanlah bermakna kita melupai bahasa
kebangsaan yang menjadi kebanggaan kita, tetapi bangsa yang ingin maju ke
hadapan perlulah menguasai lebih daripada satu bahasa, terutamanya bahasa
yang diterima luas pada peringkat antarabangsa iaitu Bahasa Inggeris,”

and English to Malay?
B: *sad* *frustruated* I tak faham macam mana nak belajar Inggeris, cakap

duduk dengan selesa, dengar Bahasa Inggeris, tengok buku cerita, komukinasi
dengan Cikgu dalam Bahasa Inggeris, tak ada tempat di sekolah ini yang boleh
berlatih Bahasa Inggeris saya.
A: Sabar. Kawanku, sabar. Be patient. Azam. Ingat tak azam yang cikgu bincang
minggu lalu? Did you know that under Waves of English program, we now have
a STAR in our school?
B: STAR? Apa itu STAR? Macam tengok bintang keh malam malam? Macam
mana boleh mempertingkatkan bahasa Inggeris saya?

The Different Stages of

Throughout the 5 days in transforming the space,
Puan Mazna and Sir Soon led 7-9 students staying
back in school to help out in cleaning up the space,
drilling walls to install curtain railings, finding
recyclable materials within the school environment
to re-use. The installation cost was minimal but the
process in setting up the space was labor intensive
at the beginning. Students were encouraged to
participate in the cleaning process and rewarded
with foods, drinks. The work time was
accompanied with great music as well.

Theme song:
[Chorus:]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars
[Verse 1:]
I see this life
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
[Chorus:]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
[Verse 2:]
I feel the love
And I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is our four letter word
Make that money
Watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing

But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Oh, oh, oh.
