RECOUNT TEXT


Read the passage

One day I was setting in the local library, I started to read a medical encyclopedia that was lying on the table in front of me. The first illness I read about was cholera. As I read the list of symptoms, it occurred to me that perhaps I had cholera myself. I sat for a while, too frightened to move.

Then, in a kind of dream, I started to turn the pages of the book again. I came to malaria. Yes, there was no doubt about it – I had malaria too. And I certainly had hepatitis. And yellow fever. And so it went on. I read through the whole book, and by the end I came to the conclusion that I had every illness. There was only one illness I didn’t have – and that was housemaid’s knee.

I sat and thought, and I became more and more worried. I wondered how long I had to live. I examined myself. I felt my pulse. At first, I couldn’t find it at all; then, suddenly it seems start off. I looked at my watch to time it – it was beating 147 times a minute. I tried to feel my heart. I couldn’t feel it. It wasn’t beating. I stuck my tongue out and tried to look at it. I could only see the end of it, but from that I was even more certain than before that I had yellow fever.

I went straight to my doctor, who was a good friend of mine. “What’s the matter with you?” he asked. “I have every illness in the medical encyclopedia.” I told him how I read the medical encyclopedia. Then he opened my mouth and looked at my tongue, and he felt mu pulse, and he listened to my heart. Then he sat down and wrote a prescription. It said:

•3 good meals every day
•A two-mile walk every day morning
•Be in bed at 11 o’clock every night
•Don’t read medical books!
I followed the doctor’s instructions, and I am happy to say that I now feel quite well again.

DESCRIPTIVE TEXT.......MOUNT BROMO

by Darju Prasetya from Tuban, East Java Climbing mountains is my hobby. I really love this hobby because we can enjoy the beautiful landscape created by God. We can also refresh our mind after we work all day in the city. One of the most beautiful and magical mountains in East Java which I have visited is Mount Bromo. It is located in Probolinggo Regency not far from the Malang Regency. You know that this mountain is very interesting because you can see the beautiful sunrise and sunset from this mountain. You can take a magical picture from the sky above this mountain. Beside that you can see the beautiful or large field or what the Bromo people call ‘Lautan Pasir’ or ‘The Desert Sea’. It is very beautiful if you see from the top of Mount Bromo. On the top of Mount Bromo, there are also a ‘Kawah’ or ‘Crater’, where visitors can make their body warm in the cold conditions of this mountain. In this crater you can see some beautiful colors of fire and beautiful smoke going up to the sky.

ORANGTUA DAN MORAL ANAK KITA

Peran Orang Tua Sebagai Pendidik Moral Ibu adalah orang yang paling dekat pada anak. Ia merupakan orang yang pertama yang mengajarkan cara berbicara, cara menghitung jari di tangan, dan cara mengekspresikan rasa kasih sayang dan simpati pada orang lain. Dengan demikian ia merupakan guru pertama dan utama dalam mengendalikan anaknya untuk menjadi orang yang baik dan berguna bagi orang. Kemudian ayah juga harus menjadi orang yang pertama atau orang nomor dua dalam kehidupan anak sebagai pendidik anak dan membimbingnya tumbuh menjadi anak yang sehat dan cerdas. Menjadi orang yang berguna seperti kata Rasullullah SAW: khairunnas anfahum linnas- orang yang baik adalah orang yang bermanfaat bagi orang lain. Namun dari kenyataan dalam hidup ini terlihat bahwa jutaan kaum bapak tidak tahu dan tidak mau tahu soal mendidik anak. Mereka terlalu menyerahkan urusan mendidik anak pada kaum ibu. Sebagian menganggap bahwa kalau ikut mendidik dan merawat anak maka karakter maskulin mereka akan merosot.
