A healthy lifestyle is the key to human well-being. A healthy human can certainly play an active role on the development of religion, race and country. The World Health Organization (WHO, 1948) define a healthy lifestyle as a state of physical, mental and social well-being, physically fit, mentally alert and free from any social situation and the community diseases. This definition asserts that the status of a healthy lifestyle anchored by the physical and mental and social well-being, function, fit and not threatened by any disease that could harm health human. Aspect is one of the main focus. Of research is on Practice Style Healthy Living . The concept of a healthy lifestyle is a government campaign or aspirations of the private sector to create a healthy, vibrant, prosperous and free from disease due to sedentary lifestyles. The main target of this campaign is all the Malaysians particularly teenagers and students of higher education institutions . Four main components underlies the core concept of a healthy lifestyle are: (1) improving the knowledge and dietary practices, (2) improving the knowledge and practice of dealing with stress; (3) improving the knowledge and practice of anti-smoking; and (4) improving the knowledge and practice of sports and recreation. Health is a wealth. Matter how any one individual, healthy still a priority which should be retained. In general, the age of 40 is the most significant period detected diseases, but if we realize the importance of health care from the beginning, various preventive measures can be taken and is a better way than we treat it. The main improvement of public health problems in our country is because of unhealthy lifestyles and balanced, including lack of awareness in maintaining balance and moderation in life. Excessive lifestyle will cause stress and ultimately affect the incidence of

2 WAJ 3103 ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY II

various diseases. Balance the scope of spiritual, physical, moral, and social need is included so that it can be interpreted as a healthy lifestyle. Thus, the overall health care needs to be implemented for each individual in order to continue the trust and the respective responsibilities in harmony. Physical health can be maintained through eating healthy and balanced diet and doing physical activities like exercise. We should also refrain from smoking can be injurious to health. Good physical health also affects the sound spiritual health. Good kosher food and to produce quality human spiritual and physical aspects. Good mental health exhibits that one could control stress encountered by wise and free from mental disorders that may alter the ability of an individual. While social health is, individuals are able to add or maintain networking between communities can finally stay healthy ourselves and society in general. The incorporation between all the elements that should be adopted for each individual in today environment so as not to invite a variety of modern disease has been spread in our society. The study conducted by the Ministry of Health in 2006 found that the practice of community life in this country causes many health problems. When people are exposed to the risk factors leading to lifestyle will lead to deadly diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke, cancer, high blood pressure, kidney failure, lung damage and bone disease. Among the features that can cause a risk of non-communicable diseases are dangerous eating style which found a total of 8.7 million (7.8 percent) of our society do not eat vegetables and fruits. While 7.2 million (60.1 percent) people do not carry out a proper physical. The other lifestyle characteristics such as smoking, drinking, obesity, distended also pose a health risk. If the observed results of this study show that a balanced diet and physical activity is not emphasized in the daily lives of Malaysians. That is why people with cancer, heart disease, diabetes and hypertension are among the most widely accepted treatment in government hospitals throughout the year 2006 (Ministry of Health) in which the disease is a disease caused by dietary factors and

Actually, we should have the self awareness to intensify health care even at a young age due to the neglect of health because we seem to keep a bomb that will explode at any moment when it comes to chronic stage. Therefore, we should be vigilant since obviously today, about loving people themselves do not eat clean and healthy, unhealthy lifestyle, exposure to stress also the root cause of health problems and health concerns are not spiritual. Islam prohibits the selfish man, but we are responsible for caring for them and should it be driving to improve our personal health. Therefore, it was time to go back reflection of society and correct mistakes and to make health as an important practice in life regardless of all ages. A healthy lifestyle requires us to maintain a balance between the spiritual and material to prevent various modern diseases and so we can continue this life to stay healthy and orderly.

Conjunction Exercises
Looking for an explanation for conjunctions and a few conjuction exercises? Conjunctions are words used to link phrases and clauses. They are necessary to create compound sentences, or to join multiple ideas together. In English, conjunctions are classified as either coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions or correlative conjunctions. Using the right conjunction is essential to making your meaning clear and to making yourself understood.

Types of Conjunctions
Coordinating conjunctions join words or ideas together, but not full phrases or sentence. For example, if you stated that you like chicken AND fish, and acts as a coordinating conjunction. It joins the two nouns in question: chicken and fish.There are six coordinating conjunctions in English:

For And Nor But Or

25 WAJ 3103 ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY II

Subordinating Conjunctions
Subordinating Conjunctions join an independent and a dependent clause. The subordinating conjunction indicates the relationship between the clauses, and usually introduces the dependent clause. Common subordinating conjunctions include since, because, thus, before, how, if, since, than, that, though, until, thus, whether, while and when and so. And and but can also act as subordinating conjunctions. A subordinating conjunction can make an otherwise independent clause into a dependent clause. For example, look at these two sentences: I like fish. I will eat some. These two sentences can be joined together with a subordinating conjunction: I like fish SO I will eat some.

Correlative Conjunctions
Correlative conjunctions link sentence elements that go together. They always come in pairs. For example, either and or; neither and nor; not only and but also; and whether and or are correlative conjunctions. Using correlative conjunctions, it would be possible to say I like not only chicken, but also fish.

Conjunction Exercises
Conjunction exercises can you help you to learn how conjunctions are used. Conjunction exercises can take several forms: they can test your ability to use conjunctions, or they can test your understanding of how correlative conjunctions work together.

This assignment also requires me to make a bit of research on current issues which provide very useful knowledge.

30 WAJ 3103 ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY II

Learning about some specific topics on the use of preposition, interjection and preposition has given me the opportunity to better understand the concept of grammar in English language. As a Malay teacher, I recognize that the use of English during the lesson well in school or as a spoken language at home, language use is quite limited for me and less practiced. By in the completion of specific work provides little challenge for me because of my lack of knowledge in terms of build sentences and use correct grammar. However, the result of guidance colleagues and comrades much help in terms of organization and use of grammatical sentences correctly. It is important to ensure that the writing and the reference was made in accordance correctly. Performa specification instead and language resources should be structured so according to the concept of learning and topics - the topics taught. Apart from this work also provided an opportunity for me to find the latest information resources relevant to the current issues that I have elected . The title of Healthy Lifestyle is a particularly important issue in the present life. It is also giving me an important information about the health of the population in Malaysia at present. Finally I want to mention that the efforts in completing the task is a valuable thing for giving us a lot of experience, particularly in strengthening the teaching profession as well as moral values among educators to continue upholding the purity and quality improvement in education countries.
