Affect vs Effect

What Is the Difference Between Affect and Effect?

It's actually pretty straightforward. The majority of the time you use affect as a verb and effect  as a noun.

When Should You Use Affect?

Affect  is used as a verb, means "to influence," as in, "The drug affected the boy," or "The rain affected my hairdo."

When Should You Use Effect?

Effect has a lot of subtle meanings as a noun, but the meaning "a result" seems to be at the core of all the definitions. For example, you can say, "The effect was disastrous," or "The sound effects were amazing," or "The rain had no effect on my hairdo."

Common Uses of Affect and Effect

Most of the time affect is a verb and effect is a noun.

Most people have trouble remembering the basic rules of when to use these words, so if you stick with those, you'll be right 95% of the time.

ONLY if...vs if ONLY...

The word  "ONLY"  conveys different meanings by placing it in different position in a sentence.

1. ONLY I hit him in the eye yesterday. (No one else did.)

2. I ONLY hit him in the eye yesterday. (Did not slap him.)

3. I hit ONLY him in the eye yesterday. (I did not hit others.)

4. I hit him ONLY in the eye yesterday. (I did not hit outside the eye.)

5. I hit him in ONLY the eye yesterday. (Not other organs.)

6. I hit him in the ONLY eye yesterday. (He doesn't have another eye.)

7. I hit him in the eye ONLY yesterday. (Not today.)

8. I hit him in the eye yesterday ONLY. (Did not wait for today.)

This is the beauty and complexity of the English language.

To be or not to be a TEACHER.

      Its quite some time, a month, since I last wrote in this blog. The career of a teacher really makes my life busy. Not only teaching in class during school hours as many people have thought, but there's a lot of other things to be taken care of. Not to mention x-tra classes in the afternoon, during weekend and co-curricular activities to be supervised and attended, there are files, letters, forms, paper works and all such things, and not to forget, the "online" tasks to be completed!
      As the Head of English Language Panel, I have to check and revise all  the exam questions for all forms prepared by other teachers and at the same time preparing my Muet exam papers. Next, besides sitting the Cambridge Placement Test myself and completing the PSELT (Pedagogical strategies for English Language Teacher) online, I have to monitor and make sure that all the English teachers doing their task, not to mention how much I spent on my phone bill to give step by step instructions on how to go with it! As I have expected, I will be the pioneer and then will be the source of information, since 90% of them are not familiar with internet application!
     Apart from being the Head of Panel, as the Advisor of Prefect Board, I have to supervise the preparation for teacher's day celebration since Prefect Board was given the responsibility to organise Teacher's Day celebration for this year. Thanks God, it went perfectly well today. By the way, Happy Teacher's Day to all teachers.
      In between, 2 classes (70 students) of F5 papers are waiting to be marked. Unfortunately, we are NOT ALLOWED to mark papers during invigilating the examinations! Whether like it or not, I have to sacrifice my bedtime. What a hectic weeks! Waiting next is to submit the marks online with such a slow server and much more, have to do it during off-peak hour, midnight for sure, or else the server even slower with the traffics! To add more, there is no internet access at school, so have to use our own broadband or internet service!
     In conclusion, those who are planning to choose teaching as career as they think it will give them a lot of space, FORGET IT!
     Despite of all those burden, I love teaching and I will continue teaching. Never come across my mind to hold the administrative position because I really enjoy teaching and mixing with students! HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY TO ME!

Cara mudah untuk terus anggun dan cantik!

        Ramai orang obses tentang kecantikan. Sanggup mengeluarkan belanja besar malah membahayakan diri sendiri semata-mata demi kecantikan. Asal lihat wajah rakan yang licin berseri, pasti ditanya jenama penjagaan muka yang digunakan. Lihat tubuh rakan yang langsing dan berbentuk, ditanya pula pil dan jamu apa yang diamalkan. Sebenarnya untuk kelihatan cantik, tak perlu pun keluarkan belanja! Percaya tak, posisi dan cara tidur juga menyumbang kepada keanggunan diri?
Makanya, selain memastikan mendapat tidur yang berkualiti, perhatikan juga posisi dan cara tidur untuk mendapat manfaat kecantikan.

• Posisi menelentang adalah bagus kerana badan berada dalam posisi relaks dan tidak melengkung. Bentuk tubuh akan menarik kerana lengkungan tulang belakang yang baik Ianya juga boleh mengelakkan gangguan pada jantung dan peredaran darah. Apabila darah mengalir lancar ke wajah, wajah akan berseri dan tentunya toksin darah penyebab jerawat tidak berlaku!
• Posisi mengiring yang baik adalah posisi mengiring ke kanan. Posisi ini dianggap para doktor tidak menekan jantung. Apabila jantung tidak tertekan, darah mengalir lancar dan kolestrol tidak berkumpul, maka tubuh badan akan kekal langsing. Wajah juga berseri kerana darah mengalir lancar ke muka. Malah posisi ini juga disunatkan Rasulullah s.a.w.
• Posisi meniarap adalah paling buruk kerana ia menekan lengkungan tulang punggung sehingga otot menjadi tegang. Tidur meniarap juga akan membuatkan wajah sembab, kusam, berjerawat dan mata kemerah-merahan kerana dada dan jantung tertekan yang menyebabkan aliran darah tersekat.
• Tidur dengan lampu terpasang boleh menyebabkan garis-garis halus terlihat pada waktu pagi kerana refleksi wajah yang berkerut saat tidur tanpa disedari kerana menahan silau dari lampu.          

Mudah kan rupanya untuk kelihatan cantik dan anggun. Hanya tidur je rahsianya! Jadi sebelum membelanjakan wang yang banyak untuk membeli krim, pil dan sebagainya, baiki cara TIDUR anda!

Betul ke tak betul ni?

Sedang sibuk mengemas rumah di pagi hari cuti sebelum bertolak untuk melawat anak di asrama, tiba2 suamiku yang dalam perjalanan ke pejabat kerana terdapat kes penculikan menelefonku. Katanya, dalam keadaan tekanan kerja pagi2cuti ni, nasib baik ada jugak perkara yg menarik perhatian dan melucukan berlaku pagi ni, terhibur jgk hati...Kisahnya.....
Di persimpangan lampu isyarat Wakaf Siku, Kota Bharu, ada seorang kurang siuman, bahasa mudahnya 'orang gila' sedang mengawal lalu lintas. Pakaiannya seluar jeans ketat di betis dan kasut potongan tinggi sepertimana pakaian anggota trafik. Dengan memakai topi sudu (topi baseball) dan topi keledar di sangkut di pinggang, beliau mengawal lalu lintas tak kira lampu merah atau hijau disuruh jalan dan berhenti. Nasib baik la pemandu semua ikut lampu tak ikut arahan dia! Waktu itu, lampu di laluan suamiku bertukar merah dan suamiku pun turut memberhentikan kereta. Pada masa yg sama ada la sebuah motosikal yang ditunggang oleh seorang lelaki dengan anaknya yg membonceng duduk di depan berhenti di lampu isyarat tersebut. Lelaki tersebut memakai topi keledar tetapi anaknya tidak. Tahu apa yang berlaku? Pengawal lalu lintas si orang gila itu tiba-tiba terus meluru ke penunggang motosikal tadi dan cuba teka? Hah, dimarahnya si lelaki tu! Kata orang gila tu "Hei tahu tak bahaya anak tak pakai topi keledar tu! tak tahu undang2 ke? nah ambik topi ni bagi kat anak tu pakai!" Suamiku tak tahan gelak, terus tutup tingkap dan tak tahu la dialog seterusnya. Nampak seperti si lelaki tu ada menjawab sesuatu seolah nak bayar topi keledar. Bila lampu bertukar merah, si penunggang motor terus memecut dan si orang gila terus menunjuk2 ke arah si lelaki tersebut sambil terus marah2 "bahaya, tak tahu undang2!" Kata suamiku, orang kurang siuman pulak lebih cerdik dari hok tak siuman. Ada baik jgk sesekali org gila disuruh jaga persimpangan isyarat. Kena sekali tegur dgn org gila,dah tentu lps ni taubat orang tu akan pakai topi keledar!"

Hiburan percuma di pagi hari tetapi membawa seribu pengertian kepada kita yang sentiasa rasa diri lebih baik dari orang yang tak siuman!
