Regarding the suggestions about the materials that should be integrated more with reading and writing, the writer had considered about it before started to make the designed materials. The writer had checked the Syllabus from KTSP as the guideline to design the materials. In KTSP syllabus, the listening skill was integrated more with the speaking skill. However, the reading skill was integrated more with the writing skill. Moreover, in SMA BOPKRI 2 Yogyakarta, the English teacher consisted of two teachers. One teacher taught reading and writing skill, and the other taught listening and speaking skill. 2. Concerning the suggestion about some listening materials the recordings and the tasks that should be adapted with the capability of the tenth grade students of SMA BOPKRI 2 Yogyakarta and be careful with the complexity of the materials. The writer thought that the complexity of a material can be handled by the capability of a teacher in the classroom to make the materials become applicable to the students. Moreover, the teacher could change that complexity become an encouragement in order to make the quality of the lesson and the students higher than before. For example, the teacher could reduce the speed of the conversation through Windows Media Player so the students could easily comprehend the materials well. The speed could be adapted based on the capability of the students.
