procedure, recount, and spoof text

Procedure text is a text that is designed to describe how something is achieved through a sequence of actions or steps. It explains how people perform different processes in a sequence of steps. This text uses simple present tense, often imperative sentences. It also uses the temporal conjunction such as first, second, then, next, finally, etc.

The generic structures of procedure text are :
1. Goal/aim ( or title)
2. Materials (not required for all procedural texts)
3. Steps (the actions that must be taken)

Recount is a text which retells events or experiences in the past. Its purpose is either to inform or to entertain the audience. There is no complication among the participants and that differentiates from narrative

Generic Structure of Recount
1. Orientation: Introducing the participants, place and time
2. Events: Describing series of event that happened in the past
3. Reorientation: It is optional. Stating personal comment of the writer to the story

Spoof is a text which tells factual story, happened in the past time with unpredictable and funny ending. Spoof text is very similar to recount text. Both spoof and recount tell about the past event with chronological order. Its purpose is to amuse reader with funny story. The story mostly is ended with an unpredictable event. The different is Spoof Text has “twist” in the end of the story.
The social function is to entertain the readers with an humorous story

-Event 2
- …etc…

reading comrehension _extensive reading assignment-

Reading comprehension - techniques for improving students' success in extracting useful knowledge from text (Mayer, p 34)
As defined by Partnership for Reading (2005), Reading comprehension is understanding a text that is read, or the process of "constructing meaning" from a text. Comprehension is a "construction process" because it involves all of the elements of the reading process working together as a text is read to create a representation of the text in the reader's mind.

In my opinion, Reading comprehension is the student’s ability to understand what they have been read from the text.

The concepst of Reading Comprehension
·         Explicit Information is information that can be clearly found "right there" in the text.
·         Drawing Conclusions is when you figure out what a text means by using what you already know and information from the text.
·         Vocabulary in Context means figuring out the meaning of a word by looking at the words and sentences around it.
·         Figurative Language refers to words that mean something other than what they say.
·         Genre is a type of text, such as fiction or nonfiction.
·         Sequence is the order of events or steps in a text.
·         Character refers to the looks, traits, thoughts, actions, and relationships of a person or animal in a text.
·         Setting tells you where and when a story takes place.
·         Plot is the events that make up the main story of a text.
·         Cause & Effect: Cause is the reason why something happens. Effect is what happens as a result.
·         Predicting is deciding what will most likely happen next in what you are reading.
·         Main Idea is the big idea in a text. It tells you what the text is mostly about.
·         Text Features are words and pictures that help organize and highlight information. Examples include headlines, photographs, and captions.
·         Classify & Categorize: Categorize is when you gather together information that is the same or almost the same. Classify is when you give that information a name.
·         Fact & Opinion: Fact is information that someone can prove true or false. Opinion is what someone believes about a subject.
·         Compare & Contrast: Comparing is noticing how two or more things are alike. Contrasting is noticing how they are different.
·         Pronoun Reference means connecting the pronouns in a sentence to the nouns to which they refer.
·         Point of View is the viewpoint from which a story is told to the reader.
·         Voice is how an author expresses his or her personality or attitude through language.
·         Author's Purpose is the reason why an author has written a text for readers.

You're My Everything

When I went to bed last night, my last thought was of you.
When I woke up this morning, my first thought was of you.
You are my everything; my sun, my stars, my sky.
You are my everything... and this is the reason why:


For when we met it was fate, fate from the soul within.
For when we met it was choice, choice to be your friend.
For when we first laughed together, I knew it was meant to be.
For when I fell in love, I knew you had fallen in love with me.


You are my everything, my breath belongs to you.
You are my everything, hold these words to be true.
You are my everything and
I'll always love you...
and whats more
I know you'll always love me too.

good essay..


"A dog is man's best friend." That common saying may contain some truth, but dogs are not the only animal friend whose companionship people enjoy. For many people, a cat is their best friend. Despite what dog lovers may believe, cats make excellent housepets as they are good companions, they are civilized members of the household, and they are easy to care for.
In the first place, people enjoy the companionship of cats. Many cats are affectionate. They will snuggle up and ask to be petted, or scratched under the chin. Who can resist a purring cat? If they're not feeling affectionate, cats are generally quite playful. They love to chase balls and feathers, or just about anything dangling from a string. They especially enjoy playing when their owners are participating in the game. Contrary to popular opinion, cats can be trained. Using rewards and punishments, just like with a dog, a cat can be trained to avoid unwanted behavior or perform tricks. Cats will even fetch!
In the second place, cats are civilized members of the household. Unlike dogs, cats do not bark or make other loud noises. Most cats don't even meow very often. They generally lead a quiet existence. Cats also don't often have "accidents." Mother cats train their kittens to use the litter box, and most cats will use it without fail from that time on. Even stray cats usually understand the concept when shown the box and will use it regularly. Cats do have claws, and owners must make provision for this. A tall scratching post in a favorite cat area of the house will often keep the cat content to leave the furniture alone. As a last resort, of course, cats can be declawed.
Lastly, one of the most attractive features of cats as housepets is their ease of care. Cats do not have to be walked. They get plenty of exercise in the house as they play, and they do their business in the litter box. Cleaning a litter box is a quick, painless procedure. Cats also take care of their own grooming. Bathing a cat is almost never necessary because under ordinary circumstances cats clean themselves. Cats are more particular about personal cleanliness than people are. In addition, cats can be left home alone for a few hours without fear. Unlike some pets, most cats will not destroy the furnishings when left alone. They are content to go about their usual activities until their owners return.
Cats are low maintenance, civilized companions. People who have small living quarters or less time for pet care should appreciate these characteristics of cats. However, many people who have plenty of space and time still opt to have a cat because they love the cat personality. In many ways, cats are the ideal housepet.
