APPRECIATION

First of all, I would like to say thank you very much to my beloved
lecturer, Mr. Shukri. He has helped me out when I faced some problems.
Although I am given this assignment a few weeks before the submission date,
I still managed to finish it. Sometimes, I also call him or send messages to him.
Interactions are very important in the process of doing this assignment.

Next, I would like to thank my friends. After I have finished the

assignment, I faced some problems about whether or not to do the
introduction and appreciation. They helped me to call the lecturer. Finally,
before the submission date, I can complete this assignment successfully.

Besides that, I would also like to thank to my seniors. They have showed
me some methods on how to do the introduction and appreciation.

Lastly, I would also like to thank to the Head of English Unit Language
Department IPG Campus Kota Bharu, Mr. Mohd Rosli Ab. Ghani who came
out with this assignment for all of us as a practice. Practice makes perfect.
Therefore, I appreciate to have this golden opportunity as a part of my writing
practice.

 INTRODUCTION

First of all, this subject is compulsory to all of the PPISMP students

except to those students from TESL option. All of us were given an
assignment of two tasks. The first task is a language study quiz while the
second task is about narrative writing. We have sat for the exam on the 19 th
August. The second task is further divided into two sub-tasks which are main
task and supplementary task. We have to write a narrative essay with the
given theme of One Malaysia for the main task and a page of reflection for the
supplementary task.

Narrative essays are told from a defined point of view, often the
author's, so there is feeling as well as specific and often sensory details
provided to get the reader involved in the elements and sequence of the story.
The verbs are vivid and precise. The narrative essay makes a point and that
point is often defined in the opening sentence, but can also be found as the
last sentence in the opening paragraph.

There are a few objectives that I have got in doing this assignment. First,
the theme of One Malaysia is very important because it is more to spirit and
values of togetherness. Without that principle, our country is no longer a
peaceful place to stay. All of us, regardless of race and religion have to
practice this principle in our daily activities. Besides that, this principle can also
build up a united nation.

As we know, there are many races in our country, for example, Malay,
Chinese, Indian, Iban, Dusun, Kadazan and Sikh. So, let all of us carry out
every activity together and practice this principle together.
