Question

My Experience in studying writing two with Mrs. Leni Marlina

Every Wednesday at 8:50 A.M was my time to study writing 2 with Mrs. Leni Marlina c. She was my lecturer, which the pair lecturer of Mr. Muhammad Ansyar, in writing 2 subject. Mrs. Lina, her nickname, explained us how to make several kinds of texts through the correct process. Honesty, I feel many good and terrible experiences during I studied with her. After I did all the assignments, I choose one of my best projects. This essay will tell about my experience in studying writing 2 with Mrs. Leni Marlina and my best writing project.

If we talk about the experience, I would like to tell about the makeup class. Every Saturday, three classes that studied writing 2 with Mrs. Lina, K-1, K-2, and NK-2, were studying in a room called “LD1”. Imagine, we should study in a very small class with more than sixty students in that class.  It must be hot, tight and crowded. Although there are some disadvantages, I think this is a good way to share our ability in others class’ students and corporate each other.

The second experience was about the assignments and pressure. Mrs. Lina gave us a lot of assignments this semester. Started from free writing about experience in studying writing 1 last semester and my expectation  in studying writing 2, then narrative text, discussion text and the last is review text. After we finished, we share it into a blog. Actually, the big pressure is the deadline. Imagine, we should make a text in a short time; we do pair assignments, made the revision and shared it into a blog.  Honestly, I could not stand for working under pressure, but I should do this if I want to pass from this subject.

Even though we should do many assignments and got the pressure, I got much new ability. However, I know Mrs. Lina has a purpose to make us strong like steel. Implicit, she train us to reduce the wrongness and prepare us to make the final assignment “Paper”. Be caused of that reason, I have learned about how to make a good text based on the right process.  First of all, we make a text, and then we should copy it and share it for several classmates. The classmates who get the text will find some incorrect and give any suggestion.  That process call pair correction. Next step was do revision according the classmates’ suggestion. Repeat them many times for the perfect result.  The last step, share it into a blog. People in our circle allowed leaving a comment after they read our text. It may be some suggestion or correction. As a result, I can correct my wrongness in writing that I do not aware before.

          Next, I explain about my best writing project in writing 2 “discussion text”. The title is “Pro and Contra the Removal of English at Elementary School Curriculum”. I choose it because of the topic and the process. Recently, it is become a hot issue in many forum discussions; some say agree and others not.  I as a student in English Department disagree with this decision. As a result, I emphasize my opinion through my discussion essay.

I took very long process to make an discussion essay. First, I chose the topic that I wanted to discuss. Second, I made the outline point by point.  Next, I collect many sources from internet. There were some evidences which emphasize my idea.  After that, I develop it into an essay. I made the essay according the right elements of an essay. Then, I did pair correction and did revision until four times. Finally, I shared it into a blog.

In the conclusion, I have much good and bad experience when I studied writing 2 with Mrs. Leni Marlina. Because of the experiences, I could increase my ability in writing. As a result, I am glad to say my discussion essay was my best writing project from all of writing projects although I made it with very long process.  In addition, I have a suggestion with this subject. It would be better if Mrs. Lina change the way of teaching to make the students enjoyed to study writing 2.

Brave, an animation movie, released on June 22, 2012 in United States. It is based on the story was created by Brenda champman. This movie which is produced by Katherine Sarafian is also directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman. For making the character and the picture, Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios take a place. Using the budget $185milion, they succeed to make a very good movie that be box office in the world. This movie starring by Kelly Macdonald as Merida,  Emma Thompson as Queen Elinor, Billy Connolly as King Fergus  and Julie Walters as The Witch. Brave also won the Academy Award for Best Animated Film, the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film,  the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film and also be nominated in several awards in the world.

This movie told about Merida, a princess in Dunborch kingdom who loves archery. She lived in a castile with Her mother, Queen Elinor; who used to force her to be a real princess and love to sew a tapestry, her father, king Fergus; who hunting a bear after he lost his left leg because of a bear (Mor’du) attacked, her triplet’s brother and also a lot of guards and maids. Merida could not stand with her mom. Once, Queen Elinor forced her to choose one of the three clans to be her husband. The girl was innocent succeed to embarrass the three clans.

   The conflict happened. With emotional condition, Merida broke her mom’s tapestry. Her mom was really upset and then she burn Merida’s bow. Merida cried and ran to the forest, she suddenly met will-o-the-wisps that direct her to witch house. As Merida’s requesting, the witch gave her a cake that will change her fate. A strange happened after Merida gave it to her mother; she changed into a big black bear. According to the witch, the magic can be permanent in second summer if Merida cannot break up the mystery.

Brave movie also has critical responses, included positive and negative critics. Starting form Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times said that the film did have an uplifting message about improving communication between mothers and daughters, although transforming your mother into a bear is a rather extreme first step. In contrast, Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter gave negative review, stating that the film "diminishes into a rather wee thing as it chugs along, with climactic drama that is both too conveniently wrapped up and hinges on magical elements that are somewhat confusing to boot."

Overall, I like this movie, the characteristic could give a strong image that made the audience enjoyed to watch. The audience also could feel the several emotions that were sad, funny, tight, and the climax part was very touching. Actually, the story is relevant in our environment. Many parents always force their child to be someone who they want. Brave teaches us to brave change our fate. No one can reach our fate.  This film also considered us that listening to others are very important.  

Conclusions, I suggest all of the people for watching this movie because it gives up many lessons. Everybody can catch the moral value and applying it in daily life. This movie also relevant in our environment, this movie can give many lessons for parents, who force their children, to listen what the children wants.  Even though this movie is good, I warn for the children should not watch alone. The adults should control them because many pictures in that movie are not suitable for children. Then, change your mother become a bear is a terrible attitude.

Review Text of a Book

Phonetics and Phonology

An Introductory Course Book

Created by               : Refnaldi

Year released           : 2008

Size                          : 20.3 cm x 14.3 cm

Pages                        : 240 pages

Chapters                   : 14 chapters

Purpose                    : Student’s hang out

Phonetics and phonology, an introductory course book, was created by Refnaldi in 2008.  This book was special for students in English language teaching study program at Universitas Negeri Padang.  This book used in phonetics and phonology subject for students in the third semester. It consisted of 240 pages and it is available in every book store with reasonable price. The interesting one was the bibliography which had thirty eight sources (normally, it less than 25 sources).

This book discussed as many as fourteen chapters and several sub-chapters. In the First, discussion began with introduction, which was about phonetics and phonology and the differences.  The second was production of speech, students learned about articulation; included the place articulation and manner articulation. Consonants were in the third chapters, it had several sub chapter; fricatives, stops, Affricates, Nasals, Liquids, Glides, and Syllabic Consonants. Forth was vowels, it discussed about how vowel was produced and the classification. In Fifth was acoustic phonetic which also had two sub-chapters; fundamental and speech sound.

In the sixth chapter was natural class of sound or distinctive feature. The phoneme and the English phoneme were in seventh and eight chapters which about identifying phonemes and the rule. Next, phonological alternation, process and rule discussed the differences between three of them.  Structure of the syllable can be discussed in the next chapter “Syllables”.  Then, English word stress and the rhythm of English were focused on tenth and eleventh chapters. The twelfth was connected speech and intonation which would discuss about assimilation and tones group.  The last was constrains: optimally theory, it was focused on the basic concept of optimally theory.

According to me, this book had excesses and the lacks side. The excess of this book was the completeness. The student could learn about phonetics and phonology with more detail. It also has many pictures that emphasize the writer’s idea. Every chapter also had exercises that would test the student’s knowledge about the lesson. For the lacks, the language that was used in this book was little bit hard to understand. Sometime, the students are difficult to find the core of the lesson. 

In conclusion, I suggest all of the students who learn phonetics and phonology to read this book. The completeness can give more knowledge about phonetics and phonology. This book also easy to find, the students can buy this complete book in every book store.  I believe this book will better if the writer can revise this book and use the words can be easy to understand for the students.
