WRITING 3 - 8th MEETING

EXSPOSITORY PARAGRAPH

Theme : Why teens smoke ciggrettes

SMOKING.

 

Smoking is such a familiar thing we see everywhere. people who smoke often called active smokers and nonsmokers called passive smoking. many people know that smoking is something that is dangerous for their health even in packs of cigarettes is already listed the dangers of smoking but they still do it.

And the concern is not only parents who smoke, but it's been a lot of teens  who begin to smoke. this is caused by several factors.

The first is the environmental factor or factor interaction. Environmental factor or factors the association is to give effect to a person, because as human beings we must live within the community to interact and get along with other humans. And the environment itself we will learn a lot of things. For example, when the environment or someone less well socially it is likely that people will be less good, and vice versa. If someone has a neighborhood or association of people who smoke it is most likely that person will become a smoker. That is what is currently one of the most influential factors for a person, especially teenagers who still want to try a lot of things. And for example, when he see people were smoking near him or he will be curious and probably tries the same thing.

The second is the factor of self. in my opinion This one factor is the most influential factor, because although both the environment and the factors of the parents have good self-awareness in teens but not there then maybe it would still be a smoker. Because teens is a period of transition in which the adolescent is still searching for her own identity. And arises wide range of feelings experienced by adolescents. For example sad breakup, due to family problems, and other problems that are often faced by teenagers. Thatteens feel confused to resolve the problem and are usually considered of smoke that they can provide a sense of calm while so teens do not feel the stress anymore.

The third is for fun. Many teenagers who just want to try to feel how cigarette smoke and the taste itself. At first they were curious about the other people do and look like a fun and they follow it and try it. This can be done due to lack of direction from the teens and family environment. Or first they just look at the ads and are interested to buy cigarettes. Of just for fun, and then follow the existing examples, and they finally tries to smoke. That's what today's teenagers often do. They rarely think the impact to their lives.

In conlusion, smoking is one of the factors that influence the growth and development of teens in terms of negative current. There are some reason why teens smoke cigarettes, such as because of their environment, their self, and many others. In fact smoking is very dangerous for them, especially for the health of teens. So from now we need to pay attention to teens around us. So as not to be affected by smoking and we have to avoid them from smoking since now.

Tittle     : My Future Family

Talking about  family, everyone would have a different definition of family. In this post, my lecturer gave me some topics to write a descriptive paragraph, one of the interested topic is "YOUR DREAM FAMILY". If you ask me why i choose this topic for my descriptive paragraph? I will say that 'I like sleeping so much, so I like to dreaming. And this paraghraph is all about my dream, and when i wrote this paragraph I also pray to Allah that this dream can be a reality in my future. Family is the most comfortable and safe to shelter. Family is our final purpose. Family that can make us what we are. Family is a place to pour out our hearts. The place to solve our problems, and only family that can accept us under any circumstances. From families, we grow up. For me, family is everything.

MY FUTURE FAMILY

Everyone would have a happy family, a safe and prosperous without any deficiencies. So am I. In the future I want to have a harmonious family, happy, and peaceful. By having one husband, one son, and two daughters. Maybe this is quite early to talk about it. Because today, I still do my course in fourth semesters. But if I may imagine with dreaming about family,  I want build a happy family in the future. And I want to talk a little bit about it.

My dream in the future , I want to get married at 23 years old . At that time I must completed my undergraduate study and have been in the finals , and I should have a job . After that I want to marry a man who from now I started to dream . And may they all come true . Amen. The man was wearing glasses , the height is around 178cm , has brown skin , wavy hair , has a flat nose , and has a very sweet smile . He has a hobby playing futsal . He was a pious man . I think he has unique characteristic. He is very good man , he is funny , but sometimes weird . Actually I am confused how to describe it using words . He was great to me . He is smart , friendly , and something I do not like that he is a person who is difficult to guess . He is one of the most magical I have ever known . He could be anything for me . He could be a good partner in discussing something , could be a good brother and always protect me , and many more . And hopefully what I aspire can be realize in the future with him. Amen.

After I married with him, I would build a big enough house with a minimalist model, which has two floors with a beautiful and comfortable atmosphere. Which has a big enough front yard and a backyard with green grass and a unique paving shape, a comfortable living room with soft colors, modern style dining room, luxurious bedroom, a fish pond in the backyard, a gazebo to relax in backyard, and swings for children's play. And also having two cars and a motorcycle.

Tittle : WOKE UP IN THE MORNING

Narrative Text.

WOKE UP IN THE MORNING

          Everyone absolutely has a bad habit. Such as lazy, careless, forgetful, and many more. Including me. I have a bad habit that is hard to erased. In this story I would tell about one of my bad habits. My bad habit is difficult to woke up in the morning that is the hardest thing I have to do. I have this habit since second grade in junior high school. I often difficult to slept at night, and it was hard to woke up in the morning because I still felt very sleepy.

          Many reasons that can distrub my slept, such as tasks, send messages with my friends, a conference call with my friends, watching movies until middle night and there are many more things that make me difficult to sleep on time. Thence I felt hard to break that habit. My parents often reminded me that I should not sleep too late at night. but as a growing teenager at that time, I sometimes often ignored their words. The habit continued until I enter senior high school. But over time I realized that the habit is a little bit disturb me. I was often late to went school, actually my senior high school is not too far from my house. And I have a trouble concentrated in school to learn, especially during the first lesson in the morning. I was feel sleepy and of course the main problem is difficult to get up early so I seldom for prayed shubuh, and in the end my parents are very angry with me. Thence felt sorry  but the hardest thing that I have to do still be a bad habit for me until I graduated from senior high school.

          After I graduated from senior high school , I decided to study at Muhammadiyah University of Metro . And I entered in English education majors . When mastama, all new students given the announcement about the English dormitory. After I listened the explanation about the dormitory, we are very interested to stay in english dormitory  the name is IDeA Indonesia . And my parents agree and recommended me to stay there. Finally me and my friends registered in  IDeA Indonesia . In IDeA Indonesia dormitory has some regulation. Such as we should followed learning  in the morning , afternoon and evening , must speak english , have to pray together , and many more . But there is a rule that makes me a little bit burdened, which must get up at 4 am to attend shubuh prayed and continue to study in the morning . This could made me not spirit, because I have a bad habit is difficult to get up early morning.

          The first day when I was at dormitory everything became little bit heavy, because I must obey with all regulations and can not be free like at home. Every morning my friends and my instructor would always wake me up. Because we would do subuh pray and study in the morning. Sometimes I and my friends, they are Adelia Taufinata and Dita Adelia not participated in subuh pray and study in the morning because we still felt sleepy and we still slept. And one day when we did not follow the subuh pray and study in the morning suddenly we got some shocked therapy. After studying in the morning , my other friends woke us up . They said brother Iwan♥ (my lovely instructor♥ hehe) , brother Andi , and brother Eko looking for us, because did not follow subuh prayed and study in the morning . Initially we ignored them because we think they are just kidding . But actually it is true, after that brother andi shouted call our names. Immediately we got out from bed and go out to meet them outside. They were very angry because we often did not obey with regulations because of difficult to wake up in the morning . Finally they gave us punishment to standing in front of the flag pole. I was very upset . during my life, I just once to did silly things like this . But since that incident I felt sorry to make a mistake again .

          And anyway from that incident, I try not to slept late and wake up in the morning. I started to learn discipline in regulating sleep schedule. And Alhamdullilah I began diligently for the subuh prayed.

WRITING 3 - TASK FOR 5th MEETING

 

      1. Description of narrative writing and How to differ from other writing genres.

Narrative text is basically text that tells about something that did not really happen, but only in the reef by the author (Writer). narrative text aims to entertain, to gain and maintain the attention of the reader / listener a story. Narrative text also aims to educate, inform, convey a reflection on the experience of the author, and are no less important is to develop the imagination of the reader / listener. Imaginary narrative text generally, but there are also factual narrative text, which tells the true incidence.

And How to differ from other writing genres, There are several types of narrative text that is often encountered in daily life, for example, fairy tales, legends, mysteries, horror stories, novels, and short stories. Narrative text has several characteristic features. Of the characteristic features we can differentiate narrative text with other genres. And here is some of the characteristic features of narrative text:
Narrative text consists of three main parts, (1) Orientation is the part where the author depicts the world of the story, this section introduced where and when events occur and leaders .
(2) Complication is the part where the main character faces hurdles in achieving goals, the part where the conflict began to occur .
 (3) Resolution is part of the problem faced by the main character solved. This section has two trends, namely ending the story with happiness (happy ending) and or end a story with sadness (sad ending), but there is also a narrative text that allow the reader / listener to guess the end of the story.

From the point of view of language features, narrative text is characterized as follows:

1. Participants are specific and often individually

2. Lot of action verbs (material processes), and there is also the use of verbal and mental processes.

3. Usually use the Past tense.

4. Use lingking Many Words related to time.

5 Often incorporate dialogue and tense will probably change.

6 Descriptive language used for creating images in the minds of readers.

7 can be written in the first person (1), or third (he, she, they).

Linguistic Feature Narrative Text :

In Narrative Text, there are some characteristics are as follows:
• Using the Action Verb in the Past Tense form. For example: climbed, Turned, Brought, etc..
• Using specific nouns as a personal pronoun, certain animals and objects in the story. For example: the king, the queen, and so on.
• Using adjectives which form the noun phrase. For example: long black hair, two red apples, etc..
• Using connectives and Conjunctions Time to sort events. For example: then, before, after, soon, etc..
• Using Adverbs and adverbial Phrase to indicate the location of the incident or event. For example: here, in the mountain, happily ever after, and so on.

2. The steps how to make a narrative writing and example for every step.

 

Steps to Narrative Writing :

1. Decide on a topic sentence (what is the story you want to tell?) topic sentence usually in the first sentence in a paragraph and it will introduces idea of the paragraph. Remember, a narrative is a story with characters, setting, problem, and solution. Be sure to choose a story that has all the parts of a good narrative.

e.g :             One day I got a short message service from the leader of ASES  brother Heri Purnomo. (topic sentence) For your information ASES is organization for Muhammadiyah university student in English education study program . In the short message service, brother Heri told that all members of ASES  should gathered after class end to attend the meeting. After class end , I and my friends gathered in room to attend the meeting. It turns out that in this meeting we discussed about following some contest at one of the universities in Lampung and we will represent Muhammadiyah university . There are several branches of the contest that followed, there are debate , scrabble , speech , and wall magazine . After that we decided who are the student will followed the contest. And I never thought I had chosen to follow wall magazine contest. In this contest needed 1 gruop which consists of 3 people, Me, Indah Maharani my classmate , and Sister Annisa from 7th semester . After decided who will follow the contest , the meeting finally ended and will process with the preparation in the next day.

2.  Because narrative text is text that tell something happen in the past, ofcourse we must use past tense in write narrative text. And in every paragraph we should know about topic sentence and controling idea.

e.g :             Because the time was getting close, the next day  I was always practicing and preparing everything to be better prepared. (topic sentence) Indah, sisters Annisa and I began making wall magazine concept to which my group and I will brought at the contest. When I prepared everything, bro syarief also helped us to do everything that we needed.

Controling Idea : The competition getting close. The author prepare all of the equipment.

3.   If we have make a topic sentences,controling idea,a nd choose the tenses, finally we can apply in the paragraph writing. Than we write narrative text based on the good generic  structure that we have learn.

e.g :
