missing words. 3

difficult to write the reflection because in some units there were no provided questions. This would be better if the writer also provided questions in order
to lead the students in writing the reflection such as in unit 4. 5
In It’s time to do the quiz session of unit 1, the writer should provide a
checklist for the students. This checklist would help the students in giving their friends’ performance score. The checklist should consist of criteria in
giving score. 6
The writer should give more games because games would be fun and interesting in learning English.
7 The instructions should be in Bahasa Indonesia because it would be easier for
the students to understand what they should do.
