do not pay attention much. They do not respond well about English as the difficult lesson for them to be understood. They join their English class lazily.

di Wonosari. Namun beliau juga menjelaskan bahwa nilai- nilai siswa mulai ada peningkatan dan sudah mulai memenuhi
standar kelayakan untuk test umum. Beliau sangat berharap mulai kelas VIII para siswa betul-betul bisa dipersiapkan
untuk siap menghadapi test-test sehingga naik kelas IX akan memudahkan mereka meraih kelulusan dengan nilai yang lebih
baik daripada tahun-tahun lalu, semoga jauh meningkat. Mrs. Wida explained that most of her students were not interested in

fulfilled the qualification of the standard for the schools’ tests. She really hoped that they could be prepared well for being
able to pass their final examination with satisfied scores after they would have been in the grade IX in the next year.
