  1. The acticle i read is about the bmw.BMW's first significant aircraft engine was the BMW IIIa inline-six liquid-cooled engine of 1918 . The bmw logo is portrayed by BMW as the movement of an aircraft propeller, to signify the white blades cutting through the blue sky – an interpretation that BMW adopted for convenience in 1929.Now , bmw is one of the best car in the world.
    The language of this acticle easy to understand but there are alot of names and event and the places which I never heard before such as Versialles Armistice Treaty which mean one of the peace treaties at the end of World War I.

  2. I have read about Brake system.In physical terms,energy is the capacity of a physical system to do work.It possesses lots of kinetic (movement) energy. Due to the fact that energy does not get lost.Instead,it only be converted one form into another, by slowing down the car movement. Brakes is the movement which convert energy to heat.
    The language of this article is easy to read but too many words in terms of scientific names. It is such as "brake ducts","inlet","coefficient of friction" and so on.

  3. I had read an article about nissan' car model that "nissan skyline Gt-R". This car actually is Japanese sport car.The Skyline GT-R became the flagship of Nissan performance, showcasing many advanced technologies including the ATTESA-ETS 4WD system and the Super-HICAS four-wheel steering.The car is popular for import Drag Racing, Circuit Track, Time Attack and events. The car is use the R32 N1 engine. It uses a pair of larger turbochargers compared to the standard R32 GT-R. The turbine wheels on the new turbochargers are made from steel, rather than the weaker ceramic used for all standard GT-R models. The R33 N1 engine was slightly revised, with larger turbochargers than the R32 N1 engine, supporting more power if the engine were to be modified.


    For me, the language that used are simple british english and easy to understood.
    Beside that, the writer also use are some terms that only known for the car racer.

  4. I were came across an article about cars of the future when surfing for articles.The article was about Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).According to the article,ITS can be use to solve the problem of traffic congestion and highway safety that faced by all the road users. In the future, cars will be equipped with all kinds of advanced sensors, computer processors, on-board displays and communications systems. In essence, the car will become part of an integrated network of connected vehicles and roadways.This technology is being developed and tested across the country, in places like California, Florida, New York, Michigan and a number of other states.Within the next decade, these technologies and others will be installed in most vehicles.

    The language mode that were seen in the article was medium-type language.This meant that the article was easy to understand and can read by all user regardless the age.The vacabulary that were used in this article was easy and simple.I noticed that only some of high-standard words such as 'staggering','veering','imminent', and'fender benders' were used in the article.There is no use of dialects language in this article.There is no grammatical error that were found in the article.

  7. i have read a article about the laser. A laser is a device that emits light through a process called stimulated emission. The term laser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The term 'laser' was first introduced to the public in Gordon Gould's 1959 conference paper "The LASER, Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation." The first application of lasers visible in daily lives of the general population was the supermarket barcode scanner, introduced in 1974. The laserdisc player, introduced in 1978, was the first successful consumer product to include a laser.

    The article about the history of the laser are quite interesting and the language that use are also very easy to understand.

  8. Hello Sir,the article that i had just read is about Power Your Car with Hydrogen. Well nowadays gasoline price is increase. So,the government is trying to stay out of it, assuming that the only solution is to let the market right itself. Unfortunately, for the market to right itself the oil industry couldn't be purposely taking advantage of the oil shortage in order to make more money. If the high gas prices were due to the economy alone, gas would probably be much cheaper right now. The only real option to avoid paying high price is to run our car on water using newly created hydrogen technology.

    For me the language of this article is easy to understand. The writer also use some term that I first time knew like 'makeshift'.

  9. Recently, I read an interesting article about a postman who leads a normal life with a low-income but instead he made a side income of approximately RM300,000 last year! It was simply unbelievable. By using the Pos Malaysia container lorry, he can make a great deal of money by transporting firecrackers into the country during festival. This case is categorize as smuggling, which is illegal...
    This article truly expose how people in Malaysia get to buy firecrackers during festival seasons. I felt that the person was so irresponsible because he uses his company property to do such humiliating job. With such kind of behavior in trying to earn more is so despicable. It is stated that smuggling firecrackers is illegal, but then human desires as a result is the major fact that leads to making evil deeds.
    About the language of this article, I felt that it was easy to read and the title which is very interesting is also the reason I read it. It was simply magnificent.

  11. I have read an article about the mobile phone. This article contains information about the uses of the mobile phone and also the health risks for those who are using mobile phone. A mobile phone or mobile (also called cellphone and handphone, as well as cell phone) is a long-range, electronic device used for mobile telecommunications. Some of the uses of mobile phone are SMS for text messaging, email, packet switching for access to the Internet, gaming, Bluetooth, infrared, camera with video recorder and MMS for sending and receiving photos and video, MP3 player, radio and GPS. There are also some risks of using mobile phone because scientific research has found a link between mobile phone use and brain tumour incidence .To determine whether there is a risk, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched the International EMF (electromagnetic field) Project in 1996. Intended to run until 2005, the project aims to determine the effects on human health of all devices that produce EMFs, including mobile phones. Nevertheless, UK government health recommendations were that mobile phone users, especially children, should only use the phones for short periods and avoid prolonged activity if possible.
    Mobile phone transmitting masts have sprung up all over the industrialized world. Many people living within close range of masts maintain that they are responsible for an increase in cancers and other illnesses.

    The language use in this article is simple.This makes it easier for me to understand the meaning of the article.Table about types of handphone is also provided and readers can just click on it to know more about the handphone because it is already hyperlink to the web.

  12. I have read an aticle about the history of google services.Google began in January 1996, as a research project by Larry Page, who was soon joined by Sergey Brin, when they were both PhD students at Stanford University in California.[13] They hypothesized that a search engine that analyzed the relationships between websites would produce better ranking of results than existing techniques, which ranked results according to the number of times the search term appeared on a page. The name "Google" originated from a common misspelling of the word "googol" which refers to 10100, the number represented by a 1 followed by one hundred zeros. Having found its way increasingly into everyday language, the verb "google", was added to the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary in 2006, meaning "to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet.Google Inc. is an American public corporation, earning revenue from advertising related to its Internet search, e-mail, online mapping, office productivity, social networking, and video sharing services as well as selling advertising-free versions of the same technologies. Google has also developed an open source web browser and a mobile operating system. Google has continued its growth through a series of new product developments, acquisitions, and partnerships.Google's mission is "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful".


    This article is interesting because from the article, we can know about the history of google services from the first developer to the availability of services until nowadays. the language that they use in th article is not very difficult to understand but a few specific term are used and we have to link with the word to identify the explainations.

  14. I have read an article about the latest version of Microsoft operating system (OS), Windows 7 and that's get me excited to waiting for it's release (expected to be on October 22nd). Although I still didn't have my own laptop (very dissapointed), I know that Windows 7 will be accomplish what to be expected as new generation of Windows. More faster, more user-friendly, that's what I want from the new Windows after many years dreadfully have to use Windows Vista. From time to time, Microsoft have developed an improvemet to its OS from the aspects of features, interfaces, performances and user-friendly. Windows 7 is what Vista should have been in the public eye which is a solid OS with plenty of modern eye candy that mostly succeeds in taking Windows usability into the 21st century.

    The article that i have read is a very straight-forward article. It tells us what Windows 7 have, what Windows 7 do and what Windows 7 needs. The language is quite easy to understand, although there are certain words or sentences that you might need to use a dictionary. The author have a done a very good research about Windows 7.

  15. To own a touch screen phone is one of my desire. Among all of the mini gadjet, i really interested to "iphone". It is one of the candybar smartphone come along with Internet-connected, multimedia GSM smartphone designed which is marketed by Apple Inc. Actually, there are three type of iphone: original(June 29,2007), 3G(June 11, 2008), 3Gs(June 19,2009). It's operating system is iphone OS. iphone can do a lot of task whereby it can function as a camera phone (also including text messaging and visual voicemail), a portable media player (equivalent to a video iPod), and an Internet client (with email, web browsing, and Wi-Fi connectivity). Now, this is the things that trigger me to strengthen my desire as not all phone can orientate betweeen potrait and landscape. A 3-axis accelerometer build in in it enable it to do so. Not only that, you can only use your fingertips to browse on the screen and it won't work if you use other surface despite of the skin of your fingertips. The proximity sensor shuts off the screen and touch-sensitive circuitry when the iPhone is brought close to the face, both to save battery and prevent unintentional touches.
    From what I read, the language used in this article is quite formal and a lots of phone terms. Athough, I can understand the because the content are well manage like for example, there separate each topic with a title above certain sub-article. By this, user are not necessary to read the whole text but only selected topic to get the point that are required.

  18. I have the article about Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince. The article is about Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts (School of Witchcraft and Wizardry). The story began when Lord Voldemart and Death Eaters in both the magical and Muggle worlds. Professor Snape who looks nice earlier, has rejoined the Lord Voldemart and Death Eaters. With the help of a magic book that Half-Blood Prince has used, Harry has solved many problems that happened. At the same time, Harry and Dumbledore destroy the Hoxcrux that needed by Voldemart to attain immortality. Slughorn is needed to help them to destroy dark magic.
    From the article, i have found that the language has been used is to hard for me to understand.

  20. I had read a article about the history of CD. In 1979, the Philips and Sony corporations joined forces to coproduce the CD-DA (Compact Disc-Digital Audio) standard. Philips had already developed commercial laserdisc players, and Sony had a decade of digital recording research under its belt. The two companies were poised for a battle the introduction of potentially incompatible audio laser disc formats when instead they came to terms on an agreement to formulate a single industry-standard digital audio technology. In 1980, the companies announced the CD-DA standard, which has since been referred to as the Red Book format (so named because the cover of the published document was red). The Red Book included the specifications for recording, sampling, andabove allthe 120mm (4.72") diameter physical format you live with today. This size was chosen, legend has it, because it could contain all of Beethoven's approximately 70-minute Ninth Symphony without interruption.

    The article are quite messy but still can understand. The language that the article use are simple.

  22. Articles about "avoid being a crazy woman" might have a great criticize by women, but instead I find it true and interesting. First and for most, this article is talking about human nature which strictly refers to woman. Crazy woman is actually stressful woman. Woman with stress, most probably will do crazy things which lead us to call them as crazy woman.Now days, woman are not only involves in family housework but also in their career as well. This is the main factor of making a woman crazy.
    About this article, I think that it is easy to read and it is a great information to all of us as well. It is also suitable for teenagers to read as a mental preparation for their future.

  23. Table tennis is a game or sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight, hollow ball back and forth with rackets / "bats" or "paddles".
    Since 1988, table tennis has been an Olympic sport.
    The history of table tennis (or ping-pong as it is also commonly known) is a long and interesting sequence of events.It require a book to do it justice.
    In this article, I'm know about a brief overview of the origins of the game and the important highlights of the game's
    development.
    There are a lot of information that I know about in this kind of spot.I think a lot of history background can acknowledge our mind in this spot activity.

  26. I've read an article about a new technology of USB. USB, which stands for Universal Serial Bus is used on most computers and laptops for connecting peripherals such as pendrive, external hard disk, printer, keyboard, mouse and many others. Before this, there are USB 1.0 and USB 2.0.
    Most of the computers and laptops nowadays use USB 2.0. Lately, USB 3.0 is introduced. From this article, i can see there are many great specification that makes this USB 3.0 better than the previous version of USB. Firstly is the data transfer rate, for USB 1.0, the data transfer rate is 12Mbps, for USB 2.0 is 480Mbps and now, the latest technology, USB 3.0 has a data transfer rate of 4.8Gbps. That is 10 times faster than the USB 2.0's data transfer rate. Secondly, USB 3.0 can read and write at the same time from our portable storage device. This is because the lanes used for data transfer is separated, compared to the USB 1.0 and 2.0, the lanes are not separated. Thirdly, the USB 3.0 can charge more device and quicker than USB 1.0 and 2.0. One thing that really make me interested in this USB 3.0 and this article is when i read a statement. It mention that when transferring 27GB HD movie, it only takes 70 seconds if we use USB 3.0 but if we use USB 2.0 it will takes about 15 minutes or more. That's really shows a significant different between USB 3.0 and the older version.

    The article that i've read is easy to understand. Most of the words are simple. However, it uses quite much of computer terms like Unversal Serial Bus, interface, Extensible Host Controller Interface, chipsets, Superspeed devices and also some more other terms. But overall of this article is understandable for me.

  28. Hi Sir. Today, I would like to share about a spacecraft. A spacecraft is a craft or machine designed for spaceflight. On a sub-orbital spaceflight, a spacecraft enters space then returns to the Earth. For an orbital spaceflight, a spacecraft enters a closed orbit around the planetary body. Spacecraft used for human spaceflight carry people on board as crew or passengers. Spacecraft used for robotic space missions operate either autonomously or telerobotically. Robotic spacecraft that leave the vicinity of the planetary body are space probes. Robotic spacecraft that remain in orbit around the planetary Starships, which are built for interstellar travel, are so far a theoretical concept only (aside from a handful of interstellar probes such as Pioneer 10 and 11, Voyager, and New Horizons. Spaceships bring astronauts into space to help repair damaged or broken sattelites.
    Spacecraft are used for a variety of purposes, including communications, earth observation, meteorology, navigation, planetary exploration and space tourism. Spacecraft and space travel are common themes in works of science fiction.
