Try to read this with British accent:
"Hey.What are you trying to do with my dress? or "Well, I used to speak fluently. Don't you think so?
And, try to read this with no accent at all
"Hey. What are you trying to do with my dress? or "Well, I used to speak fluently. Don't you think so?
Can you detect the differences between there is an accent and if there is no accent at all in speaking? Okay and are you don't understand if I don't use any accent when I'm speaking English? Well I guess the meaning of the saying is more important than the accent of it.
I faced the situation above today. I heard from a friend of mine had who conversation with her friends and they talk about the accent in speaking English. From what I have heard, they said that their university has a good quality of English compared to ours. Well, its quite disappointing and sad when I heard that. Is it our fault for don't have any accent in our speaking? Truthfully, we are less in speaking English since we know that in our field of work, we will speak in Malay language at school. So, we don't bother so much about it.
What I am trying to say here is that, even though we don't have any accent in speaking, but we did know how to speak English and people can understand it rather that we use accent that others could not understand what we says.. Those who have accent in their speaking then it is credit for them since people will like"WOW!! It so great for having that style" or "Untunglaa pandai cakap orang putih ada slang".
There are some tips for improving English according to them (a friend of mine and her friends):
* Read English books a lots
* Watch English movie frequently
* And last but not least, speak with your friends using English
Oh I think I just expressing my feeling here and now I feel so relived. Sorry for that. As a future counselor, we should not be that way like judging people from their way of speaking and as for me, I should be open and accept their criticizes so we are able to improve ourselves. Just bear in mind that people are like the colors. We do have different side of view. Thank you :)
