• Subject pronoun 
• I, you, he, she, it, we, they

How to Write A Formal Letter

Take a look at this example letter for ideas on how you should approach writing a formal letter.

Question: Write a letter to Mr Adam, the manager of Xendra Toys, complaining about a car you have bought.

Jenis-Jenis Pecahan

Pecahan terdiri daripada beberapa jenis. Operasi matematik (seperti tambah, tolak) juga berbeza bergantung kepada jenis pecahan yang digunakan.

Example of an Informal Letter

Below is an example of an informal letter. You will see that it follows the same format as discussed in the previous post. Hopefully you'll get better understanding of how an informal letter can be written.

Kenali Encik Pecahan

Pecahan itu apa ya? Jom kita berkenalan dengan Encik Pecahan!

Cuba kira … ada berapa kek keledek ungu di bawah? 5? Ya, tepat sekali!

Tapi, apa jadi kalau hanya sebahagian kek sahaja yang ada? 

Macam mana nak kira?

Ahaa, kita guna  Encik Pecahan lah! Kenapa?

Ok, jom kita potong kek ini kepada 4 bahagian yang sama besar.

Tapi macam mana kalau kita ada satu potong sahaja?

Maka, kita boleh katakan ianya 1 potong daripada 4 potong kek. Betul?

Jadi, kita boleh tuliskannya dalam bentuk pecahan macam ni:

Kita sebut pecahan ini sebagai satu perempat.

Sekarang, jom kita cuba berlatih guna Encik Pecahan! 

Contoh: Gary membeli sebiji kek yang mempunyai dua perisa iaitu perisa keledek ungu dan perisa coklat. Dia kemudian memotong kek itu kepada empat bahagian yang sama saiz.

Ada berapa potong kek keledek ungu?

1 potong adalah kek keledek ungu … daripada 4 potong kek …

Berapa potong kek coklat?

3 potong adalah kek coklat … daripada 4 potong kek …

Mudah kan topik pecahan ini? Pecahan juga melibatkan beberapa operasi matematik seperti tambah, tolak, darab dan bahagi. Saya akan sediakan latihan pecahan dalam tulisan yang seterusnya.

Pengenalan kepada Pecahan from IMSHA LEARNING

First blog post

In the name of God, the most Gracious, the most Merciful

Whenever I have emotional disturbance, and my thoughts are all over the place that all seems lost, many a time I'll direct myself to this one particular activity that can help bring tranquility in me. Writing.

But here, I write because I believe to share is to have more and a good stuff has to escape; so to say that my writing isn't necessarily due to me being distraught, stressed out or whatever, ok?

Basically, I will share materials on education on this blog. But, it's also possible that I might write things that are unrelated to education but still hopefully they could be of some help to someone.

Ok, so what about the blog's name? River of puzzles? So, I was googling here and there; highly in hope of getting some ideas for a name until  I came across this quote of a famous person;

“The world's a puzzle; no need to make sense out of it." - Socrates

Since I don't intend to explain any further, it just happened that I liked (and still like) this saying. So, after a few mix and match ... tadaa, finally I came up with this name. Maybe it doesn't have much correlation with my idea of blogging, but hey, who cares? :p

Still I want to justify myself. Vaguely, the river means more than one or a lot of ... a lot of puzzles ... puzzles in a box ... I'm the box. To simplify; the puzzles (things I'll write here) are a chunk of my life.

With that, I whisper my pray ... and take my first step to assemble these puzzles.

With every step that I take, may I do for, because of, and through the blessing of, the One who has created me. Amen.
