I am very glad when @armanbugis iniated this forum, and I belive that this forum will add our knowledge and skill in using English. But, for sure the benefit of this forum can not be achieved if we do it without full effort. If we just come in the forum once for awhile, wrote short sentence and never come back, positively this forum will be useless.
So lets make commitment that we will use this forum as a media to learn, to correct and to give necessary advices to our peer to make their English improved toward better structure and vocabulary.
@ armanbugis who has initiated this forum has responsibility to keep any replay to be commented, corrected and rewrote in the correct sentence(s), unless we want the forum just " a forum"
So, you are the Moderator.

To @ helda. please do not offeded with my suggestion below.
Actually, you have wrote down your idea clearly and understood easily.
Please put on mind, our habit is generated by our repeated action, if you always write down the sentences as your style right now, it will be your habit in the future and then, finally you are never able to write down correctly. Make sure you write down the word completely, such as You not u, I with capital word, etc.

Thank you.

Hi,@ nurul.
It is good that you have been in conversation class since January 2008, I believe you have made a lot of progress than before. However, conversation ia just one part of the English, writing is another part that you should be a master on it. Especially when you have a planning to work outside Indonesia, Obviously, it is very clear whenever you write a word or a sentence it will represent your mind, and people who reads it will also interpret base on their mind (knowledge). Educated person some time judges other people on how their written

There is a rule that should be followed in official writing, for young and unofficial association, what you have written is acceptable, but not in official writing, such as reporting, making proposal and others that needs good and correct spelling of the words. Some words that you wrote are not available in Dictionary, or if it is available, it is having different meaning.

Okay, before I finish my words, I would like to make corrections in your sentence:
1.very very is better used word " extremely" , meaning "to a high degree or extent; favorably or with much respect"

2.i can`t hear poorly if the native speaker said. should written I can't hear clearly if the native speaker said or Poorly, I can't understand the native speaker or I listen poorly to the native speaker.

My advice : Listen to the news CNNI, ANBC, BBC or VOA, don't see the picture, close your eyes and get the meaning in a whole perspective. It is like when you think a car, I believe you think it in a whole perspective, not just the tires, driving wheel, canopy, wind shield and other parts.

So, try hard and always have a nice day.

Thanks.
