EVERYDAY ENGLISH: REPETITION-I See

Children learn through imitation and repetition. I am using "I see". .with my 2 year old nephew Rayyan so he can use "I see....' for nouns as he explores...

Children also love singing and rhyming.

I see...

I see roses
I see ladybirds
I see butterflies

I see mommy
I see daddy

I see with my eyes
Thank you Allah
All praise be to Allah

EVERYDAY ENGLISH-OPEN/CLOSE

Sepanjang penglibatan saya dalam taska tadika dan pusat jagaan, didapati dalam usaha ibu bapa/guru/pengasuh mengajar anak mereka Bahasa Inggeris, terdapat kesilapan iaitu penggunaan perkataan yang salah atau tidak sesuai. Kita perlu sedar dan lebih berhati-hati kerana kesilapan mungkin akan kekal dalam diri anak. Saya cuba beri contoh penggunaan bahasa yang selalu silap.

Dalam bahasa Melayu perkataan buka dan tutup biasanya digunakan dalam banyak perbuatan seperti buka dan tutup pintu, buka dan tutup television, buka dan tutup paip, buka dan tutup langsir dan banyak lagi.

Berlainan dengan Bahasa Inggeris, perkataan yang berlainan digunakan untuk perbuatan yang berlainan. Amatlah penting kita menggunakan perkataan yang betul pada tempatnya terutama pada anak-anak seperti contoh-contoh di bawah.

Open/close- for door/ eyes/ mouth/ book window/ lid/ bottle etc
Eg. Please open the door.

Wear- coat/hat/badge/ring/glasses
Eg. Do I have to wear a coat?

Put on/ Take off- shoes/ hat/ dress/ trousers/ glasses/ skirt/ trousers/ coat etc
Eg. Please take off your shoes

Turn on/ turn off- light/ oven/ television/ radio tap etc ( sometimes switch on/off may be relevant)
Eg. Please turn on the tap.

Turn up/turn down – to increase/decrease sound/heat etc on a piece of equipment
.( untuk memperlahankan atau menguatkan sesuatu)
Eg. Could you turn the TV down?

Tie up/untie-hair/ shoelaces/ plastic bag/ knot/ rope etc
Eg. Tie up your shoelaces.

Do/Undo- button/ knot/ zip (to be fastened-mengenakan butang/ ikatan atau zip)
Eg. Please undo your jacket


Button (up)/ unbutton-shirtETA/dress
Eg. Please button(up) your dress.

Draw- curtain (untuk buka /tutup langsir)
Eg. Please draw the curtain.
