n developed country has hold autonomy learner concept. Autonomy learner constitute a concept where learner get right to learn something according to their awareness but there is also choice for them, not to learn.

In this case learner is required in order that loving to read. By reading learner has not needed a teacher anymore. Learner can overcome the obstacle by himself. In that country learner is given a freedom to learn or not to learn that’s all depend on their willing to more progress.

POETRY:

Life

 

IIf someone ask you ….

What’s the important thing, in this world?

The answer is just one word, that is …., Life!

 

Life is very-very important thing

In this world, so many people think, that

“Life is just games”

But “Life is just games” is not the definition of life

 

The exact definition of life is …., “spirit” and “Itention”

We need spirit in our life, because the spirit can help us to do our best

Try and except spirit, we must have intention

iIntention for have a better life

II believe, if we have spirit and intention in our life

All of our dreams, can be reached!

 

Life is very-very expensive thing

In out side of our area, thousand people cry

That just because, they love their life

There are, hundreds children die early age

They are really-really know, how important that life is!

 

But we? We really don’t know

How important that life is, in fact, we make shatter our self

Some people still wear ‘marijuana’, that some proof that they

Don’t love their.

 

All of us must know that life is very-very iimportant thing

So …. fill your life with usefull thing.

Today’s Wisdom :

 

LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE

From this proverbs, we can learn that it is better for us to avoid talking about things that will cause us problems. We need to discuss our problems such us, our different point of views on cultures and our taste or preference different in music, but the objective is to solve them NOT to bring about more problems. To some extent, this iimplies that we all ought to tolerate differences in many aspects among us –the human-                                                (*Drs. Yoseph P. Ad).

 

Grammar Programme

1. Be and Have                              

 

Robert is 30 years old

He was an accountant

Now he is a manager

He isn’t cold, but he’s hungry

  1. HAVE is for actions. An action is when you “do” something

1. Eating and drinking:       They are having lunch      We didn’t have a coke

2. Looking after the body:   We had a nice walk          Did you have a good rest?

TEST YOURSELFT

                                                                VOCABULARY: CULTURE  CONNECTION

pronunciation and grammar or structure. On this opportunity, it is a good idea for us to practice and enrich our vocabularies, particularly those that are connected with culture.

 

Completion. Complete the text below by choosing the words in box. Each word should be used only once.

 

                       Enrich     multicultural    society    better respect       people     holy

characteristic       speak       cause

                                                                                  

Human being is unique. We all have our own characteristics. One of the _________ is that we have different cultures. The differences are easy to notice because most of us live in _______ societies.  Certainly, every ________ possesses its own cultures. For example, people who are Hindu in India do not kill cows. They regard cows as _______ animals. This condition doesn’t apply to English _________ who live in England. Another example is that people from the west normally like to _________ to the point while those who come from the east tend to express themselves and their ideas rather indirectly.

     Although our cultures can be different we should _____ one another. We must not think that our own   cultures   are _____________  than  other people’s cultures.
