Aloha good people! Wishing nothing but the best for you and for myself. Today I probably will post such a sort blog and it will be about my comparison to the article I've read with the supposed-to-be scientific article. Scientific article is a type of article that is needed in education life, almost the same like scientific journal. It is mostly created to report the latest research by someone which then will help academic people study things related to that article or journal. Scientific paper has some requirement part such as : 1. Title 2. Abstract 3. Introduction 4. Review of the related literature 5. Methodology 6. Result 7. Discussion 8. Conclusion And after finding out that requirement parts, I looked back to check the article I have read. Why? Of course to make sure that I read the right article to help my study.

How did I find a Scientific Article.

Hello folks. Hoping the same as always, I hope you are in a good condition, have a wonderful life and full of bliss. This time I would like to tell and share to you guys how did I find a scientific article for my reading assignment. It was quite hard actually, to find a scientific article especially for the first time. The assignment was to find the article based on our interest in English skill.

Aloha! Welcome back to my blog.. In this opportunity  I make another resume about the article that I have read, it is more about speaking skill. I’ll cut off the small talk and let’s just get started! As a teacher, we are included as a public speaker. The general definition about public speaker is actually how you can share an idea in front of many audiences. And there are some scientifically-proven characteristics that we shall imitate as a public speaker. The first one is confidence, this means that confidence is one of  the important element for a public speaker. On the article, it shows that being nervous for speaking in public is normal, but however confidence is one the key to deliver our speech more smoothly. According to a study published by the University of Wolverhampton “A highly confident speaker is viewed as being more accurate, competent, credible, intelligent, knowledgeable, likeable, and believable than the less confident uncertain speaker.” The second
