What Will You Choose?

Mastery of your mother tongue, or the fluency of the English language? What will you choose? Which do you prefer? Many people think of these as choices. But you should balance these two aspects. None of these aspects is better that the other. Let's look at the benefits of the fluency of the English language and the mastery of the mother tongue:

Fluency of the English Language: Getting jobs and in communication. When you try to get a job, especially when the companies deal with international clients, you should learn how to speak in English clearly and fluently. That's because English is the world language. If you do not know how to speak in English, you will have lower chances in getting jobs in other countries. And if you don't know how to speak in English, how can you communicate with different people around the world?


Mastery of the Mother Tongue: This is really important. We should know our own language and must not forget it. We must maintain it because the language helps us value our culture and heritage. This is what makes us unique and have our own identity. Also, when the native language is not maintained, important links to family members may be lost.


It may be hard to choose from the two, but for me, we must balance both to keep our native culture and heritage alive in ourselves, and to be fluent in speaking the world language.

Intramurals-- Helpful or Not?

Are sports activities in schools, or we usually call "intramurals" helpful to us students? Sports activities help students in a lot of ways. Like...

In a physical way: Sports activities encourage students to engage in sports and to be physically fit. These activities make the students stronger and healthier. These will help the students in removing the extra fat or carbohydrates from their bodies by participating and being active in the field of sports. Events like these contribute a lot the the physical fitness and wellness of a student.

In a mental way: Not only can sports activities make a student physically fit and healthy, but sports activities can also enhance the mental capacity of the brain. Sports can enhance the brain by making the student/s think of strategies or ways in which they can win against the other team/s. For example, in basketball, the players must find a way to catch up on their points. Sports also contribute to the mental alertness. Sports are not all about physical abilities but are also about the mental abilities of students.

In a social and emotional way: Students learn to socialize, deal and cooperate with one another through sports. For example, in a sack race, the students must help each other in arranging the team in order, whether it is from the slowest to the fastest, etc. We also learn a lot from sports like camaraderie, teamwork, and the most important, sportsmanship. Activities like this can also shape our emotions towards our successes and failures.

Intramurals may just last a few days. But, even if it's just for a couple of days, we students learn a lot from it, which we can apply to our daily lives.
