So i choose this topic to make the readers know,and to entertain the readers. Beacause this a narrative text so i going to write use ‘past tense’ and based on the language features, the generic structure that i have been explain in the previous posting.

MY FIRST SPEECH

Two years ago, when i was in the first semester in University of Muhammadiyah Metro. I took english department in this university that make me should have good enough ability in speaking english, not only speaking but also the other skill. I didn’t have enough confidence when the lecturer asked me to speak english. I felt sad, I’m afraid if maked mistake when I speak english.

I got some information about English dormitory in this city , so I with some of my friends decided to register in that dormitory the name is IDeA Indonesia. The first week i started study there but i haven’t stayed there yet ,because my bed room haven’t ready. When the first day I stayed there, I felt like I’m a stupid girl, why ? because most of student there are an elementary student and they have good really good ability in speaking. I felt like i don’t want to speak anything, me and my friends just silent all the day. In the dormitory all of the student should spoke English where ever and whenever they go and they do, even the  security,and although we in the bathroom we should spoke English ,if we spoke ‘bahasa’ although one word so we will got punishment from our dormitory principle. Because we are the new student there so the dormitory principle gave us free for on month to mix our words.

In the dormitory there is speech after prayed, we have a schedule to delivered our speech in front of all of the people in the dormitory. Around one week i stayed there I begun fell comfortable with the situation with my new life there, and my world is changing when i got my first schedule to speech. I didn’t know what should i do ? my english not good, i still adaptation with this place ? why must me ? oh God. Suddenly my heart beat I fell confused , and i must prepared just 5 day to speech. After studied at 08.00 i ask my dormitory principle to guide me to made a speech, she asked me what topic that you have prepared? I just silent , i didn’t know about that , than she told me to think about the topic first than met her again. I felt so gloomy, i wanna cry. I wanna go home! Than i went to gazebo in the garden there my friends and some of my instructure still talked together,and I told them about my problem,but they just laugh at me , and suddenly because I felt confuse with the situation,so I cried. I cried louder until security ,and some of elementary student there looked at me, they asked me why i cry ? but I didn’t answer and still cry until one of my instructure said if he want to guide me to make a speech, than he guide me , give me an idea ,topic and finally i chose education topic with the title “education system in Indonesia.

 After I finished make the text of speech every day I practice with my instructure and where ever i go i always brought my text of speech. Until the day of my hell day came , in the Monday after Maghreb which there are a lot of student there, and my heart beat when the instructure asked me to come in front and delivery my speech , because this my fist time to speech so all of the students, dormitory principle and even the managing director of IDeA Indonesia they looked at me ! i can’t say what i felt at the time. I tried to manage my self I didn’t have enough brave to see their face until i finish my speech. Around 5 minutes i delivered my speech and the time for judge my self come.

 After speech always there is an evaluation from instructure or managing director , because there is managing director so he gave me some comment , i was so afraid to hear his voice, but unpredictable and unfortunately he gave me two thumb that means my speech good, and he said if i have a good ability for the beginners. Oh i was so happy at the time and i can smile after that. After finish prayed i meet my instructure who guide me and i said so much thanks for him. That was unforgettable moment and experience from that speech i can build my confidence to speak.

Thats all about the hardest thing I have to do , but from that speech I can learn and increase my confident and my ability in speaking English , and I’m not afraid to make mistakes in speaking, because everything begin from the mistakes.

TASK FOR FIFTH MEETING

MAKE A GOOD NARRATIVE WRITING

In this week i gonna to tell ,give information ,and explanation about narrative text. From the definition  , how to write paragraph narrative,the generic structure and of course i will give an example about narrative text based on my own experience that i have been wrote in the previous posting. Okay ..lets read carefully guys !

The definition of Narrative text is a text that focusing some specific participants that have several structural features making different from other genres. Narrative has social function that is to tell stories in the past ,the purpose is to entertain the readers.(based on smalley, and ruetten ,1984). Narrative is used most often in : fables,myths and legends,adventure stories and your own experience. There are 3 generic structure in narrative ,:

1. Orientation :include of introducing participants, and informing the time and the place . it also about the characters.

2. complication : about crises in the story and process of social interaction.

3.resolution : show the way participants faces the conflik,and close the story.

There are also the language features in the narrative text : 
    -  Using processes verbs: tell,says,narrates
    -  Using temporal conjuction : chronological order 
   - Using simple past tense.

How to different narrative text with other genres of writing .

To different narrative text with other genres we can see from the generic structure but if thereis no the generic structure in the example of the text ,we can read and know from the kind of the text , usually narrative text are about fabel,legends, true story (but not with the steps )and adventure story ,from the tenses that used in the text, not only that but also narative text always introduce crisis and how to solve them,narrative text also always appears as a hard potrait of participants past experience,it refveals the conflict because conflict is the important thing in narrative ,, if narrative without conflict is not text narrative any more .

How to make a narrative writing

the first one when we want to make a paragraph works we should make the topic sentence. What is topic sentence ? topic sentence is  the first sentence in a paragraph , why we should make a topic sentence ? it introduces the main idea of the paragraph .

Example : One year ago, in the Sunday morning like a usually, because I’am a dilligent and beautiful daughter,so  I always helped my mother to tiddy up the house , i started to wash the plate,wash the clothes,and many other.(PARAGRAPH ONE )

                   Monday morning ,I went to the campus at 08.00 o’clock,i met  all of my friend and i still think , why they didn’t remembered about me ? I still felt sad in the campus, then when lesson is finish one of my friend said with me “ del common went to agatha’s house because we must do some group work “ I just silent and followed them (PARAGRAPH TWO).

After we make the topic sentence and we choose the tenses ,because narrative is tell us about something happend in the past so we use PAST TENSE for all of the verb in the text. Not only make a topic sentence every paragraph but we must know about a topic and a controling idea.

Example : - because I’am a dilligent and beautiful daughter,so  I always    helped   my mother to tiddy up the house

              -   Monday morning ,I went to the campus at 08.00 o’clock,i met  all of  my friend and i still think      (THAT’S CALLED CONTROLING IDEA )

After we finish make a topic sentences ,controling idea,and choose the tenses ,,so we can apply in the paragraph writing. Than we write based on the good generic  structure

TITLE	MY NINETEEN BIRTHDAY SURPRISE
ORIENTATION	One year ago, in the Sunday morning like a usually, because I’am a dilligent and beautiful daughter,so  I always helped my mother to tiddy up the house , i started to wash the plate,wash the clothes,and many other..........

In the out side suddenly from my back they tied me under the tree,and leave me alone there. I shouted call them but they didn’t come , and unpredictable, suddenly they came with a big pail of dirty water,flavour ,and some eggs

After we make the skema of writing ,, from topic sentences,controlling idea,and choose the tenses so we will easier to make a good paragraph like this !!

LET’S READ GUYS !

                

MY NINETEEN BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

One year ago, in the Sunday morning like a usually, because I’am a dilligent and beautiful daughter,so  I always helped my mother to tiddy up the house , i started to wash the plate,wash the clothes,and many other. At the time my felling is not good enough, i felt sad, gloomy , and i think that no one care about me. In my deep heart i said “ today is my birth day why no one said happy birth day for me ,there is no cake, there is no canddle.” I was really sad at the time , all of the day i just stayed in my bed room until night,and always looked at the clock.

Monday morning ,I went to the campus at 08.00 o’clock,i met  all of my friend and i still think , why they didn’t remembered about me ? I still felt sad in the campus, then when lesson is finish one of my friend said with me “ del common went to agatha’s house because we must do some group work “ I just silent and followed them. On the way i started fell strange with my friend , they always bullyed at me, and stayed away from me. Suddenly, i fell down from my motorcycle and they didn’t looked at me, and i felt that i wanna cry. In agatha’s house they more strange than in the campus they often leaved me alone, and that maked me confused. Suddenly dinyok called me and ask me to go out side from agatha’s house but before that they asked me to change my clothes and i didn’t want but they still asked me to change. In the out side suddenly from my back they tied me under the tree,and leave me alone there. I shouted call them but they didn’t come , and unpredictable, suddenly they came with a big pail of dirty water,flavour ,and some eggs. I was really shocked and i say with them please  don’t do that ! but they didn’t heard at me... and taraaaaaaaa! They watered me ,throwed me with the egg,and give me the flovour.

 I felt happy,and angry, than they leaved me alone again, but suddenly they come and bring a beautiful white cake with many fruits on the cake and canddles, with 19 number,,,, aaaaaaaaaak I really surprise to got that cake ,and unpredictable surprise.after that i took a bath,change my clothes , eat the cake together and went to my home .

NOTE : the red and yellow colours are the topic sentences. Why that sentences called as a topic sentences ? let’s me give the reason !

SENTENCES	REASON
One year ago, in the Sunday morning like a usually, because I’am a dilligent and beautiful daughter,so  I always helped my mother to tiddy up the house	In that sentences are tell about main idea of the paragraph one , than that is the first sentences in the paragraph one so it called topic sentence. In that sentences give clue about what the writer will do all the day ,so it called topic sentences .
Monday morning ,I went to the campus at 08.00 o’clock,i met  all of my friend and i still think , why they didn’t remembered about me ? I still felt sad in the campus, then when lesson is finish one of my friend said with me “ del common went to agatha’s house because we must do some group work “ I just silent and followed them	Same with the reason of the topic sentence of first paragraph, because this is the first sentences so called topic sentence ,introduces the main idea and tell what the writer will do all the day in her campus,and about the conflic.
