assignment 2: Task 1

Task 1: Dumb down

In first time i listen to the task, i can't catch up what prof. David Crystal said it. Because the task had many new word i don't known before this and i look up dictionary to find out the meaning. I also listen to the the task as many time and read the script to understand it.The title i choose was 'dumb down'. the task i listen let me to known about the dumb down.it had many meaning and different country also having their different meant. Example: At Amerika, the word meant stupid. But in Malaysia we no usually use this word and we usually using the simple word and easy to understand. I think we need to try use some word we no always using to improve our english language.
