Chapter 1 I Think the Cendrawasih Is Beautiful

Activity 2 The instructors of the English club, Utami, Krisna and Hani are talking about quality improvement in their English club. Now they are in the classroom. Utami : Our headmaster wanted us to improve and increase the quality of our English club. 1 What do you think , Krisna? Krisna : Well. I think so. We should be able to do that. Utami : So what should we do? Krisna : I think that 2 we have to improve our syllabus. It must be more relevant to English. Hani : Thats a great idea. But dont forget. I think 3 it is not only that . We should also know the students needs, because we handle different levels and wishes. Utami : Yes, I know that. Thank you. And then do we need new instructors here? Krisna : 4 I don’t think so . It is not necessary. Why dont you recruit the qualified ones among us. Or are you still doubtful about us? Utami : Oh, of course not. I believe that we are still able to show our quality and capability, in fact from time to time many people from different levels want to learn English here. It means that they are satisfied. Hani : Are you going to accept children to study here? Utami : Why not? As long as we are still trusted and able to handle them, we will open new classes. So should we recruit new instructors? I myself heard statements from some participants that 5 they feel satisfied with our teaching methods. Krisna : Alright. If so we need new ones. Err ... I have no objection. Utami : How about you, Hani? Hani : Well 6 I am with him. I agree with him. Utami : Thank you all. So we can conclude that fi rstly, the syllabus should be analysed and improved if needed. Secondly we will recruit new instructors to handle children classes. Tapescripts Activity 3 1. Etty : The book we read just now is the newest publication. What do you think? Ferry : Yes, I think its great. It was printed two months ago. 2. Tiara : Experience is the best teacher. What do you think? Sonny : I agree. Because what we have seen and done can give us lesson and knowledge. 3. Ledina : Excuse me, Maam. Here is my poetry. Mrs Yenni : Wow, how interesting it is. I am pleased with your work. 4. Mia : The ending of the film made me sad. Joko : Thats true. Im with you. From the beginning to the end I never saw the actors found happiness. 5. Bram : Violence on TV should be censored. What’s your opinion? Linda : I think it depends on the purpose. The publication of tragedy in Jatinangor or in Jakarta will be able to stop the bad behaviour. The victims in Jatinangor will increase if the violence is not publicised. Activity 5 Honey is the sweet, thick fluid made by bees from flower nectar. Nectar is a thin, watery liquid. Bees sip it from the blossoms and carry it to their hives. Each worker bee has a pouch in its body, called a honey stomach where the nectar is stored. In the pouch, the sugar and nectar are broken down by a process called inversion into two simple sugars, fructose and glucose. After bees deposit the nectar in the hive, they allow most of the water to evaporate and the liquid thickens. They also add enzyme that enhance the flavour. Honey is an excellent energy food because it contains simple sugars that can be used quickly Di unduh dari : Bukupaket.com 180 Developing English Competencies f or Grade XI of Nat ural and Social Science Programmes by the body.
