Reduction in English
Bismillahirrohmanirrohim..
It’s cold there. It is just like a house for knowledges. Yup! It is Library :D. My
friend and I like to visit our ‘Jurusan’ library at recess or in our free time.
When we feel hot outside because of the sun shine that just like a giant
spotlight (?), or maybe bored, then we moved to the ‘Jurusan’ library and
sometimes we steal some knowledges from the books there :D .
Today, by an accident, we
found such kind of ‘Reduction’ from a book in the library. We don’t know much
about that actually, but I am interested in it, then i decided to find out
about that. We can use these when speaking or writing, but do not use it to a formal
condition, Okay??. Common word said with relaxed pronunciation in American English.
