Ar-raniry English Club

This is my first blog and it is gonna be my diary of my activities. What i am gonna tell you is not about fall in love, mess with a friend, or something not important but i want to write and share something benefit to the reader. So, my first activity that i wanna share with you is about AEC (Ar-Raniry English Club). Yesterday i joined AEC at theater room in Museum building of Arraniry University. It was the launching of AEC and i am very happy to be there. AEC is a club which is free to share their knowledge of English which thought by the student who expert of that skill. The committee of AEC invited Mr. Zulfikar and Ms. Pocut Finzia as the guest to that event which has a lot of experiences in learning foreign language and the foreign country itself. Related to their experiences, the onlooker could ask them freely. For example, they asked about what is the struggle of going abroad ? how do you your parent trust you in foreign country ? it was kind of questions that onlooker asked to guest. To be frank, this club make me aware of how important English and how poor if we have ability to speak English but we not applied it. Therefore, i decided to speak English with my friend and relatives in daily life in order to improve my speaking skill and i wish one day i could go abroad to take master degree, inshaAllah.
