little about Listening



When do you usually hear someone without properly listening to him/her?

Usually I hear someone without listening to him/her when I’m busy with my work, when  people are talking close to me, when I’m sleepy, bored and bad mood, and when what the someone talking is not interest me.
For example, my friends and I do homework together, I’m focus on laptop and when they ask me something, I’m not directly respond them , they should touch me first, so I’m aware and I ask them to replay their questions.
Also, when I sit alone in public place, there are many people that they are talking around me, I’m not pay attention to them and I won’t know what they are talking about.
My mood also affected my listening, for example when I join in a discussion that take time about 2 hours, for first time it works well after that my soul is not there J, sleepy and bored kill my spirit.
The last, when my friends are talking about the celebrity, ninety percent it’s not interest me to pay attention because I don’t know who they are talking and what for they are talking it.
There are examples that I hear but I’m not listening for some reasons on my way.




When you're listening to the story that you have already familiar with, what types of listening are involved in that case?

The type of that case is appreciative listening, based on my experience when I’m listening the familiar story, I’m more enjoy it and can understand the story chronologically, maybe I’m not curios about that, but I try to find something new in the same thing. Maybe how people deliver the story is different and it’s most interest me than before. For the first maybe we think “oh, it’s same story”, but then we will see the difference that make us pay more attention and for myself, listening the familiar story is easily way to improve our listening skill J.

Who I am!

Who I am! I think hard to define the title above, it’s no theory from expert can be pictured me maybe they will say I’m a human having complete body, thought and almost can do all daily activities   well. If I ask to my parents, of course they will say I’m their daughter. Friends and colleague must confess that I am one of their friends. But I have another side to see who I am. I’m just an ordinary girl from ordinary family in ordinary world. Almost sixteen years I have been doing the same thing; going to school and campus, doing   assignment, getting score every semester and I will end it next year (InsyaAllah). Taking master degree? I have to think again. When I was child, the question “what do you want to be in the future?” became so familiar. I used to lose idea to imagine what I wanna be later and my friends said that they wanna be doctor. I tried to imagine me as a doctor, but there were no picture in my brain. Yes, I didn’t want to be doctor; it was hard to s...

texting is killing language

John McWhorter: texting is killing language Texting is miraculous thing, Seeing back what language is. Language has existed perhaps 150 thousand years ago. At the time people do speak instead of writing.   texting is not writing at all. Writing is something that came along much later. First there’s speech then writing comes along. Base on history, there is natural relation between speech and writing such as when we listen a speech basically talk like writing. Texting is very low structure, no one think about punctuation capital letter. And other something wrong with texting such as using of LOL (laughing out lout), most of people use because it’s a new trend among people today.
