1. Suggestions to the teacher a. English teachers are recommended to apply task- based approach as one of
the ways in teaching especially reading because it can help the students to comprehend the text by applying it in the real life situation.
b. To overcome difficulty in finding inference, it will be better for the teacher to make student to have more practice in finding inference and equip the
students with some vocabularries that might be used. c. Referring to these two criteria of task, presence of a work plan and
connection ro real-world Ellis, 2003, teacher should make highly good preparation before applying it in order to make the process works well. In

and encouraged to learn. Then, in making a good task teacher should consider students’ ability, so that they can do the task well.
