What does it mean with communication? Communication can be divide into few categories. Talking and interact with people is also called communicate. Communication is one of the most important thing in our daily life. Communication will help us to interact with people.Communication is the process of establishing meaning, found in all social situations, and hence a very wide-ranging concern of social scientists generally. It is conventionally studied by social psychologists, semiologists, students of mass media, and linguists, communication studies has increasingly become established as a field of inquiry in its own right (for example in Communications Departments), and is often allied to cultural studies.

Communication helps those involved in business world. Nowadays, people used the Internet to sell items and their goods. For those who are not interested in going outside and go to shoping mall or store, they prefer to purchase online. Besides, online shopping is much easier and efficient. People who involved in online business have more advantages than those who did not use the Internet. One of them is, they will have much wider market as online is worldwide. Everyone will know about one's product as they surf the Net. Through the internet, they can make an order or booking for items that they want to purchase.

Other than that, some people do business through advertisement in the television as almost everyone have a television at their house. So, it will be easy for the bussinessman to spread and inform everybody about their business. For example, one of the most famous airline, Air Asia. Nowadays, we can book ticket through the Net or just give them a call to make a reservation. we can get cheaper price if we booked online.

Education and Learning....

Education is very important nowadays. Most country make it compulsory for their citizen to study. That's because education can help to develop a country and improve people's life. In Malaysia, the government has come out with few solution to help to improve educational needs among Malaysians. One of thm is by providing education for free. The Ministry of Education is planning to provide more textbooks to poor students through a program called 'Skim Pinjaman Buku Teks'. This program had been used for years since i was in primary school until now. Education can help us a lot especially to have a better life and improve ourselves.

When we talked about education, it is related to learning process. Learning process never ends. As long as we live, the process keep going. There are lots of learning process. The basic skills in learning is reading, writing and counting. As we grow up, the higher stage of education we will go through. It will get harder and there's no doubt about it. I, as a student have to agree with that. But, as people said, there is nothing easy in this life. So, whatever it is, we have to try to overcome the hardship. As all the hardship will make us be someone. In Malaysia, children will start formal education at seven years old in primary school starting with standard one until standard six. Then, they will move to secondry school for five years. After that, they will move to the universities or collages.

To me, the challenge begin in university. I said so as i am in university now and i found that there is lots of difference between school and university. In school, we are given everything and the teachers will help us even if we don't ask for help. There is always people looking after us in school. However, it is different in the university. Here, the lecturer will just give us the knowledge and teach us on the subject. Then, the rest is up to us whether we want to study or not. If we have problems in their subject, we must make our own effort to solve it. Whether we seek help from our friends, or get the information on the net or library. We can go to lecturer individually and asked for their help.

In learning process, the learning capacity is important. The smaller the capacity,the more effective our leraning process. If we look through, in schools the learning capacity per class is just about 20 to 30 students. but, in university it is almost 100 of students in the lecture hall. Students sometime are very hard to predict and control. A number of students might be fooling around and disturb others. This situation will effect the process of learning.

There are few ways that can help us in our study. Study group can help a lot. It will allow us to discuss on the subject and especially for the subject that we are not good at. Our friends can help to make us understand and tackle the problem. However, before starting a group, we must identify the member of the group. We should find those who really want to study even they are not really good in study, at least they are working hard for success. If those who are not really serious in study are in the group, the study group will not be effective..
Mindmapping can also help in our study. It will help us to memorise. Mindmap is only done after we read and understand the content of the text or anything that we read.
