RHETORICAL QUESTION

            Racism is one of the world’s major issues today. Do you aware of how much racism still exists in our school, work forces, and anywhere social lives? Racism very much exists and it is about time that people need to start thinking about the solutions to this matter. Can we achieve One Malaysia’s mission with this kind of mind set? Think about it.Many people believe that it depends on if a person was brought into the world as a racist or not but that is not the case at all. In fact, an individual cannot be born a racist but only learn to become one asthey grow from child to adulthood. Basic causes, mainstream, institutions, government, anti racism group, and even some hidden event in Malaysia’s past or a few of the possible solutions to racism.

For the night class we learnt about making inferences and prediction

Making Inferences

 An inference is a logical conclusion based on what has been stated in the text.Information which is provided  must be analysed in order for you to understand what is not directly stated or hidden between the lines. In order to infer, you need to use your experience, knowledge, common sense and power of reasoning to draw logical conclusions.

Making Predictions

Predicting  is an important reading skill as it will enable you to enhance your understanding of the text by anticipating what will happen next. Predicting can be done by using what you know about the text, plot, setting, characters, issues and relating them to your own knowledge to figure out possible outcomes.
