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 as they grow from child to adulthood. Institutions, government, and anti racism group in Malaysian’s past history are the possible solutions to racism.
One of the solutions of the racism is Education Institution should emphasize the civic subject starting from primary school. The objective of learning civic subject of school is to inculcate a mutual respect towards each other regardless of race, religion and culture.They can know about others culture in term of foods, festivals, religions and their traditional clothes.Thus, they have to apply what they have learnt in civic subject in daily life in order to prevent racism.
The other solution of racism is government should take apart to integrate the community in Malaysia. Government has set a date on September 16 as One Malaysia Day to unite all communities.They should provide activities and campaigns that involving all ethnics group. The examples of activities that held by government in One Malaysia Day are ‘gotong -royong’, ‘Senam Seni Malaysia’, Festivals and many more.Therefore, they have to join the activities to support One Malaysia Day to decrease the percentage of racism in Malaysia.
Anti-racism group is the other solution for racism .They established to take care of the problem of racism and promote culture development by individual who are concern with the matter involved. They also seek to build the communities centered on equality of social status, equality and mutual understanding without comparative towards all the ethnic. Hence, existence of anti-racism group in Malaysia would avoid the disciimination among the races.
In conclusion, institution, government and anti-racism group are the solutions to prevent racism. Without these solutions, Malaysian will face a severe crisis of racism and riots against other races. So, all the Malaysians need to inculcate the spirit of One Malaysia to lives in harmony in one unity.

NIGHT CLASS
For the night class we learnt about INTERPRETING WRITER'S POINTS OF VIEW, ATTITUDES OR INTENTIONS.
The writer's attitude towards an issue is shown through the tone he or she uses in his or her writing.
Tone refer to the writer's use of word and writing styles to demonstrate his or stand towards the issue in a text.
You can determine the tone used in a text by :
- Looking at word choice : words have positive, negative or even neutral association
- Analyzing the phrasing used to describe an event : Is the author sarcastic? Does the writer lay out facts with no opinion.
- Considering how you feel when you read the text : What emotions have been evoked in you?Do you feel angry, sad or happy?
Example of tone words:
malicious
angry
incredulous
indignant
optimistic
ironic
compassionate
excited
formal
mocking
You can understand writer's intention by asking your self what the writer's reasons for writing is/ are. Writers normally write for one of these four reasons, to inform, to persuade, to instruct. to entertain.
Answering the question below will help you in analyzing the writer's intention:
- What is the tone of the writer?
- what are the writer's point of view/ belief on the issues?
- Who is the writer? (Background , occupation)
- Who is the intended audience?
- What is his statement of purpose / thesis statement?
- What do the titles, headings, boldface, italics suggest?
- What are being highlighted in the introductory and concluding paragraphs?
