passive and active voice...

pergh.... what a great day... i've managed t woke up early, completed my subuh prayer at the musolla and recited few pages of the Holy Quran. I can feel that i'm a having a really great day today...

Owh, today is the presentation of Abortion in Introduction to Islam and Medicine class by some of my friends. They had really done well on their presentation. I can understand that generally, abortion can be done before 120th day of the pregnancy. However, certain sects stated that it is illegal as abortion can be considered as killing......

In our english class today, we learned the active and passive voice. It sounded boring to me but Miss Dila said that this lesson is really important as we need to use appropriate type of voice whenever we want to communicate among doctors or with the patients themselves or their families and relatives. Passive voice is more to formal and usually it is used when professionals like medical officers or specialists communicate between each other. Sometimes they will use scientific or medical terms that not all people capable to understand. Of course, this type of voice is not suitable for communication between doctors and patients or with their families. Active voice is more like everyday conversation. It is more likely suitable for doctors to communicate with patients and their families... IMPORTANT!!! ROLE PLAY IS NEXT WEEK.... STILL IN PROGRESS..
