It's a spooky book!

 I like old books. Sometimes, they contain wisdom that we do not have nowadays. I found this particular book at a store. Coincidentally, it is halloween so I'm interested to share with you this spooky book.

Any ideas for Halloween? Then, this book is for you! There are many guides and tutorials that aren't suitable to well... adults! However, I just keep the secrets with me. I will reveal this one particular instruction that you might be familiar with:

 This is a mobile sculpture or in Bahasa Melayu, 'Arca Mobail'. However, instead of hanging butterflies and boats, why not we hang bats instead? Who knows maybe even Batman will be interested to attend to your party! Can you make your own bat mobile? To the Bat mobile!

Past tense.

 Last time, we learned about action verb and verb to be. Now, what if we want to use the verb if we want to talk about the past?

Past tense

Time is very important in the English language. We use present tense to talk about things that we do routinely (always do) and something that is currently happening.

However, if we want to talk about what happened in the past, we may have to slightly change the action words.

Sometimes, we add -d, -ed, or -ied. For example:

smile -> smiled look -> looked cry -> cried (transform the letter 'y' in the word 'cry' into 'i')

Sometimes, we change the word altogether. For example:

is -> was  are -> were    gets -> got  go -> went

When we use a past tense verb, we don't need to add an 's' to a singular verb. For instance:

_________________________________________________

He picks up the pencil on the table. 

He picked up the pencil on the table yesterday.

_________________________________________________

Here's a video that sums it up:

Meanwhile, can you change the bold words below into past tense words?

Patrick is a boy who lives in a small village. One day, he is playing at the playground. Suddenly, a zombie chases him. He tries to run away. However, he gets bitten by the zombie. He turns into a zombie. Then, a radioactive spider gets a chance to bite him. He turns into Spider zombie. As the sun is setting, he could see the full moon. He is surprised that he is transforming into a Spider werezombie!

Now, illustrate your answer!

3 Hazel learned about movie posters. They even talked about a horror movie called 'Hantu Kak Limah Back Home'. It would probably be the same movie that Greg and Anna watch.

Manufacturing our own vaccine

 

Back in July, our Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said that we will start to develop our own vaccine.

What is a vaccine? A vaccine is a substance that makes us immune against disease. In this case, we will be immune to the Covid 19 virus. When we are immune, we are able to resist the virus. However, making the vaccine is too costly. The government may have to pay more to get the vaccine from other countries. They might even prioritise their countries first.

So, our prime minister suggested that we should aim to become a vaccine-manufacturing country in the long run. This means that we will be able to make the vaccine here. However, we may not have enough expertise unless we collaborate with other countries.

What do you think? Should we develop our own vaccine? Should we get our vaccines from other countries such as Russia and the United States? Leave a comment below.

Should we manufacture our own vaccine?

Yes. We have the resources/

No. We need more experts in making them.

Verb 'to be'

Before this, we have learned about action verbs. Let us go back to this question: What is a verb? A verb is a word to tell an action or a state of being. It can be an action verb and it can also be a verb 'to be'.

Verb 'to be'

It is the most basic verb in English. In this case, we are only going to use these three words: is, are and am.  These are the ways that we can use the verb:

1. To describe something/someone.

For example: 

a) This is a cat.

b) I am 9 years old.

c) They are happy

2. As 'helping' verb. You will have to put -ing after the verb. 

For example:

a) Amir is reading a book

b) I am staying at home

c) We are having fun

*This 'helping' verb is also known as Auxiliary verb.

Still confused? Let's watch this video!

Now, let's try this to find our if you understand verb 'to be'. 

Meanwhile, you can also try Miss Atiqah's quiz on Auxiliary verb here.

Let's write in capital letters!

When we write sentences, we need to use capital letters. We use capital letters when:

1. It is the first letter of a sentence.

2. There is a proper noun. 

What are nouns? Nouns are words for names. The names can be a person, a place or a thing. Let's listen to the song below.

Now, what is a proper noun? Proper nouns are words that are specific. Let's look at the video below to see the examples of proper nouns.
