1.0 Introduction

We are required to carry out an interview to complete our assignment for English

communication (II). After discussing about few days among four of us, we decided to make a

appointment with a lecturer of polytechnic at Behrang. After waiting two days, we were phoned

and the lecturer allowed us to carry out an interview. Needless to say, we were very happy

because we can do our assignment already. If the lecturer was not allowed us to interview her,

then we should find again and this needed some time and also energy. We make this decision to

interview lecturer polytechnic that was at Behrang as we cannot make an interview around

lecturer of Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI). Apart from that, we also wanted to try new

things and through this, we can get some experiences that we never got during our secondary and

even higher school. We were very appreciated when doing this interview.

2.0 Background

The name of the lecturer that we had interview was Suzana Binti Shafei. She was born

in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, 25nd

of November 1980, on the morning. She was born in her maternal

grandmother’s house. Her father has seven childs and she is the youngest among them. Her

background started from her personal life, his father was a teacher, while her mother was a nurse.

Lecturer of Suzana has received her early schooling at the Kota Bharu, Kelantan. The name of

school was called Sek. Keb. Rambutan Rendang. During her studying, she was facing some

study problem, luckily she got help from many teachers to overcome with her tension, study and

homework. Then, she continued her secondary school at Sek. Men. Ismail Petra. She was active

at PBSM and be a chairwoman almost 3 years but during this time, she was having most difficult

moment around form four and form five. In order to make a living, she take a part time and

worked at polytechnic, Shah Alam. Her father was having illness at that time. She was very sad

and worried about her father and suddenly thinking to give up on her study at that time.

Fortunately, after encourage and advice from her teacher and mother, she continued her study.During her studying, she felt more and more stress. Everyday, she was worry whether she can

pass in the examination or not. Finally, depending on her hardworking and assistance from her

teacher, needless to say, she finally passed the exam with flying colours. At that time, her

families were very happy especially was her mother. She subsequently continued her education

at Uitm, Shah Alam and then studied at IAB with the course of andragogy. After getting



explanation about the course andragogy, we finally understood that andragogy was a learning

strategies focus on adults. It is often interpreted as the process of engaging learners with the

structure of learning experience. She also got a certificate of mechanical manufacturing

engineering at polytechnic of Kota Bharu. Before going to Shah Alam, she already had studied at

polytechnic of Port Dickson with diploma of mechanical manufacturing engineering. During her

free time, she love painting, reading and listening some music. Through these activities, she can

release her tension while facing some problems in learning.

3.0 Description of her career

She had become a lecturer for almost three and a half years. She teaches diploma

students about mechanical manufacturing engineering, AUTOCAD 2 and also computer. She

says she wanted to handle students with mild and not too strict. After that, she had been awarded

certificates of excellence in AUTOCAD 2 because she got the higher marks among the lecturer

in polytechnic. To become a good teacher, we must be patient, and know how to control the

classes and teach teenagers with a vengeance.



4.0 Secret to success

Suzana holded five matter to succeed, the things are discipline, total comprehension,

identify, hardworking and appreciate. Only hold with five this five matters, she can create a good

life .She is not a stingy person, she can share his secret with others. She wants anyone can be the

best, she do not want only her can be the best.

Discipline is very important thing. Without discipline nothing can do. Discipline can be

divided to many thing, such as discipline in time, this is the most lecturer of Suzana cared of,

then discipline in behavior, discipline in work and many else. Discipline can train someone to be

more good and stronger in what matter he or she want to do. Through this, she can handle her

problem by herself.

Then about total comprehension. Without total comprehension in character, someone

cannot success in their life. Before doing some important things example is exam, before the

exam is carried out, someone should prepare fully and do practicing often because practice make

perfect. Besides this, we should always comply with the time and use the time to adequately.

After that is identify. The meaning of identify is we are able to diffentiate that things is

good for us or vice versa. When facing some problem, we must think what suppose to do to solve

the problem and the identify steps is the most importance in determining what solution we

should. If we cannot solve the problem by ourselves, we must refer to our teachers or our best

friends.

If we want succeed in life, we must work without despair. For example, if we want to

pass the exam with flying colours, the first thing we must do is hardworking, be alerted when the

teaching at the class. If we do not understand, we should ask because ‘stupid in five minutes,

clever forever’. The meaning is when we ask the teacher about what we do not know, some

people will smile or look down on us, but after five minutes, we will understand what are we ask after the teacher give explaining. We are not encouraged to burn the midnight oil.

The meaning of appreciate is to be grateful or thankful for someone that give us

knowledge. During teacher teaches us at the class, we must not making noises, respect our

teacher and play attention while our teacher try to give us knowledge. Try to communicate with



teacher and asking for them to help us when we face some learning or personal problem that we

unable to solve it.

5.0 Current issue (Opinion about social problem among teenagers nowadays)

According to lecturer Suzana binti Shafei, the young people between the ages 13 and 20 is

called teenages.Every teenagers has problems. There is no doubt about it. A problem plays an

important part in a teenager’s life, as they see if you can handle it well. The teenagers pregnancy

is very big problem of the world mostly the develop contrary. When the teenagers are coming

out to the pregnant then the abortion is the simple solution of this issue. The abortion is a process

to dead the pregnant child before his born. But the abortion is the bad, because in a abortion, the

innocent life will be dead. Lecturer Suzana says that God is creating of all things for every life,

we must appreciate what God has given us. Teen abortion has many risks. Abortion may lead to

an increased an chance of breast cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, depression and the

contraction of Viral Hepatitis, not to mention death due to excessive bleeding or other

complications. Teen abortion will affect us into the future and we should control this case from

happen continuosly.The government should enforce the rules and if the teenagers were found try

to do abortion before the baby is born will be jailed.

The second issues are skipping school. Teenagers will skip school for a number of reasons.

Just because the teenagers were skipping school does not mean that teenagers involved a bad

crowd or doing drugs. The teenagers skipped school a few times because they simply did not like

the classes, classmates or teacher .It a teacher was often times giving them problems or an

attitude, they will skip school to avoid the teacher because of the teacher frequently call their

names and make them feel like they were worthless, so they will skip the class to avoid

confrontation with the teacher. The teenagers will skip class as they face problem in learning

difficulties and disabilities. If they have difficulty in a particular subject, they may choose to skip

school entirely out of fear of failure. Learning difficulties are especially common in children whohave recently changed schools or are experiencing trouble at home. Fatigue is also a reason why

teenagers skipped the school. Teenagers who are not getting enough sleep or rest outside school

can quickly experience burnout and become poor performes.Fatigue can be also uncomfortable

tat attending school simply does not feel like it is worth the effort. Other than that, anger and

confusion is also a factor cause the teenagers to skip the school. Teenagers who may be



experiencing instability at home or within their social circles often skip school as an outlet for

their anger. Instability at home or at school can trigger uncomfortable feelings of an anxiety,

stress and tension that may also lead to anger and aggression. Skipping school is just one way to

manage these feelings of discomfort and counseling and support from parents may be necessary

as an intervention plan. Lecturer stated that determining why the teenagers may be skipping

school is the first step to helping them cope in a healthier way. If you suspect the students may

be making poor choices during a semester, consult a guidance counselor or mentor who can help

them get back on a positive educational track.

Third issue is smoking. Lecturer of Suzana said that among college students, the

prevalence of use of cigarettes was still about 35 percent. Although smoking among adolescents

and young adults is often associated as a bad, but temporary habit, determinants of smoking

among college students who was also know as teenagers and the amount of harm it causes to

their health and health of others are largely unknown. The lecturer once was asking their students

that was giving at least one good reason why the students ignored the danger that their know.

Some say that they smoke to relieve stress from school, others say it gives them something to do

at parties, some say they get an intensified sensation from mixing tobacco and alcohol. Some say

they have tried to stop so many times but cannot. Others say their grandparents have smoked all

their life and are still alive and healthy. The most important way to stop the pandemic of

smoking would be to stop the influx of new smokers mainly teenagers, then the government

played an important role also in reducing the rate of smoking among teenagers. The government

should take some ways to cope this problem from becoming seriously, they should enforce the

rules and tried to reduce the imports of cigarette to their country and also gave some warning to

people who sell cigarettes to teenagers.
