Cinta Tak Tersangka di Lalaport: Antara Proper Noun, Common Noun & Pronoun

Di sebuah kampus di tengah-tengah Kuala Lumpur, Daim, seorang pelajar yang selalu ‘blur’, baru sahaja menyertai kelas Kemahiran Hidup. Daim ni jenis yang macam tak kisah pasal benda-benda sekitar, tapi tiba-tiba dia terjatuh cinta dengan seorang gadis manis bernama Aisyah di kelas tersebut.

“Aisyah, kau tahu tak beza antara common noun, proper noun, dan pronoun?” tanya Daim tiba-tiba masa mereka sama-sama membersihkan ruang bengkel.

Aisyah tergelak kecil sambil bersihkan meja. “Common noun macam ni meja, kerusi, sungai. Proper noun pulak macam nama khas: Jelutong, Sungai Golok, atau tempat shopping Lalaport. Pronoun tu macam ‘dia’, ‘kami’, ‘kau’. Faham, Daim?”

“Err... boleh lah kot,” jawab Daim sambil tersipu-sipu, kononnya malu.

Dalam diam, Daim bercadang nak ajak Aisyah keluar lepak di Lalaport. Tapi masalahnya, duit poket dia tengah sengkek sebab mak ayah belum transfer lagi. “Gaji 2024 aku belum masuk kot,” Daim merungut dalam hati.

Ismail Sabri, pensyarah mereka, tiba-tiba datang ke bengkel. “Eh, Daim! Aisyah! Dah bersih tempat ni? Ingat, dalam hidup, kebersihan kena jaga tau. Jangan macam masa aku kena handle isu banjir dulu. Stress aku!”

Aisyah angguk sambil tersenyum, tapi Daim terus berkhayal. “Kalau Aisyah jadi proper noun hidup aku, aku jadi pronoun dalam hidup dia...”

Suatu hari, Daim nekad ajak Aisyah tengok perlawanan Piala Malaysia. Malangnya, waktu nak book tiket flight balik Penang untuk cuti semester, berlaku kecoh di Penang Airport dan KLIA Fight trending pula di media sosial.

“Kau ni Daim, tengok bola je tahu. Bila nak buat MyKad baru kau? Aku dengar tempat kau kat kampung, Jelutong, air sungai dah makin kotor sebab banjir,” usik Aisyah sambil baling bola tenis kecil ke arah Daim.

“Eh! Aku buat minggu depan la. Kau jangan kacau aku, aku tengah fokus nak jadi striker masa tryout untuk Kelayakan Piala Dunia 2026 nanti.”

Mendengar itu, Aisyah gelak besar. “Striker? Dengan stamina kau yang kalah burung merpati kat Sungai Golok, aku rasa Tommy Mawat tu lagi layak daripada kau!”

Walaupun banyak kena bahan dengan Aisyah, Daim tetap tak berputus asa. Bagi dia, Aisyah lah "piala dunia" yang dia nak menang. Proper noun yang dia simpan dalam hati. Dan mungkin suatu hari nanti, dia akan jadi "pronoun" yang selalu disebut-sebut Aisyah.

Proofread Thesis Cinta di Tengah Banjir

Di sebuah kampus di tengah Kuala Lumpur, Daim, seorang pelajar jurusan Kejuruteraan yang tampan tapi selalu kelam-kabut, sedang menghadapi cabaran besar—jurnal akhir semester yang perlu dihantar esok. Masalahnya, banjir mula melanda kawasan kampus akibat hujan lebat, dan Daim, seperti biasa, menunda kerja hingga saat akhir.

“Bro, aku dah pening. Mana nak sempat siapkan jurnal ni, nak kena proofread, nak kena hantar lagi,” Daim mengeluh pada Tommy Mawat, kawan sebiliknya yang lebih banyak sibuk menonton highlight Piala Malaysia daripada menolong.

“Relaks, bro. Kau cari Lisa. Dia tu kan legend bab #terjemahan dan #proofread. Confirm kerja kau siap kilat punya,” Tommy mencadangkan sambil mengunyah mi segera.

Lisa, pelajar tahun akhir jurusan Bahasa Inggeris, memang terkenal di kampus kerana kepakaran dan sikap tenangnya. Dia juga diam-diam menyimpan rasa pada Daim sejak mereka sama-sama hadir ke seminar Ismail Sabri di Lalaport semester lepas. Tapi Lisa tahu Daim jenis yang clueless—kalau tak pasal kejuruteraan, dia takkan perasan apa-apa.

---

Petang itu, Daim, dengan kasut basah akibat banjir kecil di kaki lima kampus, memberanikan diri menghampiri Lisa yang sedang duduk di gerai kecilnya. Lisa sedang membaca jurnal sambil sesekali menyeka rambut yang terjuntai ke wajahnya, membuat Daim tersentak seketika.

“Lisa… boleh tolong aku tak?” Daim bertanya dengan nada teragak-agak.

Lisa mengangkat wajah, tersenyum kecil. “Boleh. Tapi aku ada syarat.”

“Syarat?”

“Kau temankan aku ke Jelutong minggu depan. Aku nak buat MyKad baru. Masa shopping kat Penang Airport hari tu, MyKad aku hilang. Kalau setuju, aku bukan je proofread, aku tolong polish sampai kau dapat markah penuh.”

Daim terdiam seketika, tapi akhirnya mengangguk. “Setuju.”

---

Sepanjang malam itu, Lisa bukan hanya memeriksa jurnal Daim. Dia juga memberikan komen membina, menyusun ayat dengan penuh perhatian, dan menambah sedikit sentuhan kreatif yang membuat jurnal itu kelihatan sempurna. Daim, yang duduk di sebelahnya, sesekali mencuri pandang. Dia perasan Lisa begitu fokus, dengan cahaya lampu meja kecil menerangi wajahnya. Dalam hati, Daim berbisik, Kenapa aku tak perasan dia selama ni?

Keesokan harinya, pensyarah memberikan pujian tinggi pada jurnal Daim. “Ini antara jurnal terbaik yang saya pernah baca. Awak patut pertimbangkan menulis untuk jurnal antarabangsa.” Daim tersenyum, tapi dalam hati dia tahu, pujian itu milik Lisa.

---

Seminggu kemudian, Daim menepati janjinya menemani Lisa ke Jelutong. Sepanjang perjalanan, Lisa banyak bercerita—tentang cita-citanya mahu jadi editor buku terkenal, tentang impiannya melihat Malaysia layak ke Piala Dunia 2026, dan tentang bagaimana dia percaya setiap orang ada cerita yang berhak didengari. Daim hanya mendengar, tapi dalam diam, dia mula sedar betapa istimewanya Lisa.

Ketika mereka berhenti seketika di tepi Sungai Golok untuk menikmati angin petang, Daim akhirnya memberanikan diri berkata, “Lisa, aku rasa aku berhutang lebih daripada sekadar terima kasih.”

Lisa tersenyum, memandang Daim dengan wajah tenang. “Hutang apa pula?”

“Hutang sebab aku baru sedar, selama ni aku terlalu sibuk dengan benda lain sampai tak nampak apa yang penting di depan mata aku.” Daim memberanikan diri. “Aku rasa aku nak buat satu jurnal lagi. Tapi kali ni, tajuknya… ‘Cinta yang Bermula dengan Proofread.’”

Lisa tergelak kecil, pipinya mula merona. “Daim, kalau nak buat jurnal macam tu, aku pun nak proofread.”

Dan di situ, di tepi sungai, sambil angin lembut menghembus, cinta Daim dan Lisa akhirnya mula mekar, satu babak manis yang tiada siapa sangka akan terjadi—semuanya bermula dari banjir dan jurnal akhir semester.

Moral cerita: Cinta, seperti banjir, kadang datang tak dijangka. Tapi bila ia tiba, bersihkan hati dan biarkan ia mengalir. 😄❤️

🙅‍♂️ Never Do This If You Want a Band 7 in Writing (Part 2)

Today, I'll cover three more struggles I often see students face and explain how to fix them so you can boost your score.

Pelawat, the other day in Part 1, I shared three mistakes that can hurt your Writing Task 1 score. Today, I'll cover three more struggles I often see students face and explain how to fix them so you can boost your score. 4. Describe Every Detail Instead of Summarising (in the Overview) Example: Writing about every data point, like, "In 2001, there were 5,000 units sold, then in 2002, it increased to 6,000 units," and continuing this for each year. Listing every number in the Overview makes your report hard to follow and misses the purpose of summarising. Task 1 asks for the main trends or key features, not every small detail. Correct Version: "Overall, sales showed a steady increase from 2001 to 2005, with only slight fluctuations." Tip: Focus on identifying and describing the most important trends or differences. 5. Not Changing the Introduction Example: Copying, "The table below shows the number of tourists visiting different countries in 2020," exactly from the prompt. Copying the introduction word-for-word shows that you lack paraphrasing skills. The examiner wants to see that you can express the same idea in different words. Correct Version: "The table provides data on how many tourists visited various countries in 2020." Tip: Practise rewriting introductions using synonyms and changing the sentence structure. 6. Misread the Data or Trends Example: Writing, "The number of visitors to the museum decreased significantly between 2015 and 2020," when the graph only shows a small drop. Misinterpreting the data leads to an inaccurate description, which lowers your Task Achievement score. It's important to read the information carefully and describe it accurately. Correct Version: "The number of visitors to the museum saw a slight decline between 2015 and 2020." Tip: Double-check your understanding of the data and use precise language, like "slightly," "significantly," "remained stable," or "sharply increased," to describe trends correctly. Feel like your score is stuck and not improving? Pelawat, If you feel stuck and don't know how to improve your score, I can help. My students have broken through these challenges and seen their scores improve as a result. I'm currently accepting a few dedicated students for one-on-one coaching. This is for those who urgently need to achieve their target IELTS score. Is that you? Reply to this email now to reach your IELTS goal with me in just 2 months.
