P mengatakan pada SA bahwa hari itu akan ada kompetisi. P akan membagi SA menjadi 8 kelompok yang masing-masing kelompok berisi 4 orang. Lalu,
tiap-tiap kelompok akan menerima satu kit untuk melakukan kompetisi tersebut. Kit tersebut berisi word card acak yang harus SA susun menjadi
kalimat dalam simple present tense yang benar. Kelompok yang nantinya menyusun paling banyak dan benar akan menjadi pemenang dan akan
mendapatkan hadiah. Setelah itu, SA ribut karena ingin menang dalam kompetisi tersebut dan mengerjakan dengan heboh.
The researcher told the students that on that day, there would be a competition. She would divide the students into 8 groups, which each group consisted of 4
students. Each group would receive 1 kit to do the competition. The kit contained word cards that the students had to arrange into simple present tense
sentences. The group which arranged the correct sentence at most, would be the winner of the competition. After that, the students were gone noisy because
they wanted to win the game and did the task excitedly.

Kalo kerja kelompoknya gimana? Lebih seneng ngerjain sendiri apa bareng-bareng?
How about the grouping? Do you like to work alone, or together in group?
Ya enak kalo bareng-bareng Miss. I liked to work together more that to work alone, Miss.
Kenapa emangnya kok enak kalo bareng-bareng? Why?
Soale kan bisa diskusi nek nggak bisa ngerjainnya. Terus yang nggak pernah nggarap juga jadi ikutan mikir Miss.
Because we could discussed the answer together. And those who never be active in the class also had to think about the answer, Miss.
