The Importance of Electricity in Our Life

Assalamualaikum Wr.Wb

Hello ladies and gentleman, Today I will convey my speech entitled ''The Importance of Electricity in Our Life''.

Each days electricity plays a key role in keeping homes and businesses running smoothly. We can’t imagine living without electricity. Modern living could not go on without electricity. Most equipment used in modern life is designed to use electricity. If the electricity power is off, aeroplanes wouldn’t be able to take off, car engines wouldn’t run, radio and television broadcasts would stop. Electricity is important for modern people in cities and countries.


In most developing countries, the cost of electricity is continuously on the rise. In others, electricity is not enough and thus not all households have connection to the all-important amenity. This is the reason why saving electricity is important for the consumer as well as the other users. Although one may claim that she/he is able to pay for all his or her bills, it is of paramount importance to note that the money realized after saving electricity can go to another use.

Saving electricity can take different forms depending on what the consumers does with his or her power. However, the most important thing is to understand that all users are able to save their electricity in one way or the other. For example, for domestic users, one should not leave lights on in rooms that are not occupied at a certain time. When a person is in the bedroom, the sitting room lights need to be off because they do not serve any purpose being on because it only takes a switch to put the lights on. Since putting lights on and off is easy, one should not fail to do the same because it is a very easy task.

All the people should understand on the importance of saving energy in order to come up with a society that is responsible for the wise usage of power. This can be achieved by ensuring the electricity providers advise their customers on the importance of saving power.

Well, thank for your attention, see you...

I didn't have much time to do what I want. I really really miss me when I was 15 years old, I can do anything what I want, like playing football everyday with my friend, fishing in the river, cycling around the city, etc.
If I could turn back time....

Volare Chit Chat

Assalamualaikum Wr.Wb.

On Thursday, 01 December 2016, I'm listening radio volare fm at www.volarefm.com .
There are 4 segment :
1. How to say it
2. Idioms
3. Bilingual news
4. English, please!

''How to say it''
In this segment, I learned about an idiom and how to pronounce the Idiom. The idiom was a word or phrase which means something different from its literal meaning. Idioms are common phrases or terms whose meaning is changed, but can be understood by their popular use.
Examples :
- Read someone like a book
- Read someone's mind

''Idiom''
In this segment, the idiom that I learned was “Blood, Sweat, and Tears”. The meaning of the idiom was doing a work with full effort.
Examples:
- After blood, sweat, and tears, Jane finally got college degree.
- This wealth is from all of my blood, sweat, and tears.

''Billingual News''

In this segment,The news that I listened was about a world record from a tea lover. The record is to dip a biscuit to a cup of tea from a 70-meter crane. That's amazing, maybe i'll try it later lol...

''English Please!''

In this segment, the topic was about, “Idol Worship”. There were 2 speakers in this segment. They are talking about the daily life struggle people that have nowdays like a worship an idol, such a stalker, plastic surgery, very fanatic about their fans, the impact of being famous for them and their fans etc. 

My opinion about the topic is not wrong to worship an idol, because it gives you spirit in your life.

Okay, that's all about my resume of Volare Chit Chat, thank for your attention, See you at next topic..

ONE OK ROCK is a Japanese Rock Band formed in Tokyo Japan, in 2005, consists of Takahiro Moriuchi, Toru Yamashita, Ryota Kohama, and Tomoya Kanki. I love Japanese Band like UVERword, Silent Siren, MAN WITH A MISSION, SCANDAL, especially ONE OK ROCK, because all of the song is very nice, especially The Beginning.

Topic 4 : What movie best describes your life

Assalamualaikum Wr.Wb.

Hello, ladies and gentleman. How are you? We meet again in this topic. Yeah the topic is ‘’What movie best describes your life ''.

The movie what describes my life is “DEATH NOTE''. The movie based on the Death Note manga/comic and anime/animation series by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. The movie primarily center on a university student who decides to rid the world of evil with the help of a supernatural notebook that kills anyone whose name is written in it.
Light Yagami is a Japanese college student whose life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the "Death Note", lying on the ground. The Death Note's instructions claim that if a person's name is written within while picturing that person's face, that person will die. Light is initially skeptical of the Death Note's authenticity, but after experimenting with it, he realizes it is real. After meeting with the previous owner of the Death Note, a Shinigami named Ryuk, Light seeks to become "god of the new world" by passing his judgment on those he deems to be evil or who get in his way. He begins using the Death Note to kill scores of criminals, becoming a notorious serial killer known as "Kira." which is derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the word "killer".

As the Kira killings continue, some in Japanese society come to see Kira as a righteous figure. Interpol launches an investigation of the murders, but months pass without any fruitful lead. The case eventually attracts the attention of L, a reclusive and world-famous detective. Working with Interpol and the Japanese police, L manages to confront Light through a television broadcast and demonstrates his deductive skills, correctly surmising Kira's residence in the Kanto region and that he can "kill without lifting a finger." The race begins between L and Light to discover each other's identity, and a game of cat and mouse ensues between the two geniuses.

After Light hacks into the police database to find information on acquitted criminals, L realizes that Kira is somehow related to the Kira task force led by Light's father Soichiro. Light finds out that he is being followed by an FBI agent named Raye Penber and, through a series of events, kills him and his fellow agents. Penber's fiance, Naomi Misora, takes it upon herself to uncover Kira's identity. Suspecting Light, she kidnaps his girlfriend Shiori and demands that he confess if he wants to save her. Light adamantly insists that he is not Kira. When Shiori tries to escape, Naomi shoots her and commits suicide. Shiori dies in Light's arms.

Ryuk finds that Light had actually engineered Naomi's death using the Death Note, as he had already found out her identity and written a scenario whereby Naomi would commit suicide after shooting Shiori. Ryuk is confused that Light would deliberately put Shiori in danger, but Light reveals that he had written her name in the Death Note as well. Using these events to foster hatred for Kira, Light asks to join his father's task force. While Soichiro is slightly reluctant, L immediately grants his wish and it is hinted that he is still certain that Light is Kira.

Oke, the describes of my life from this movie is Light is characterized as hardworking, talented, and a natural genius. Light would constantly predict all of the possible scenarios that could happen and plan a solution in advance, even in the most impromptu situations. His faults include his cynical outlook on life, overconfidence in himself, and belief that he is never wrong.

He is frustrated by the lack of justice in the world. Believing the world to be "rotten," he uses his Death Note as a means by which he can enact his will to rid the world of evil people. Light's main goal is to create a new world that is free of injustice and populated only with honest and kind people, thus becoming the "God of the new world". Light is decisive and driven to achieve his ambitions, without faltering one bit in his beliefs. Despite staining his hands with the blood of the people that he's killed, this extreme action can be said as a result of his unmoving resolve.

Through use of the Death Note, Light quickly begins to develop a cold, ruthless, and malevolent nature. He becomes completely devoid of love, compassion, and mercy. He views himself as the only rightful savior of mankind and that all his actions are justified, no matter how inhuman they might be. He is shown to even be willing to sacrifice his own family, if pushed to that point. The fact that he is intelligent also adds to his notion that only he is fit to judge humanity and steer it on a proper moral course.

If I have a Death Note, I will do the same thing.

Thank you for your attention. See you later at next topic.
