Dear all readers and my students
Next two month (April ) is a time for Junior High school students in Indonesia to face a Final examination. It is too short time and make we are nervous to do this especially for English subject. Why ??? . There are a lot of reasons such as : It's not their mother language, not interested for most of them, it use high level language, the teachers do not use an interesting method of teaching so they bored to study, and still use an old ways, and seldom give rewards to the good learners. This condition is continous running in the field year by year. The educational Department of Indonesia doesn't realize this problem, but they try to make more difficult items which is hard to be answered by the Junior High School students .
As a teacher I give you a little bit suggestion on facing your final test next April as follows :
1 prepare your mentally and take care your health
2. Relax, and having good confident
3. Train your self in answering the questions ( practice every time )
4. See the table specification of the test in order to have good preparation
5. Learn about the trick in answering the questions easily
6. Do your test from the easiest questions and use the trick
O.K my students I have some tricks for you such as :
* Try to understand the kinds of questions, see the text just at glance. analyze the questions, example :1. Which statement is TRUE based on the text ?
It means you just find only the TRUE statement . The trick is, Bring the option one by one into the text. You just relate the statement in the text and in option
2. Arrangement the words into a sentence or sentences into a paragraph
the trick is : look for the word is suitable as a topic, let the same number, analyze the different numbers and check the option
3. Find the tittle of the text
The trick is : See the first sentence in the first paragraph, check the words often appear in every paragraph, check the option
4. Finding the specific information from the text ( by using W-H Questions )
The trick is : See the same or similar statement on the question and text, analyze that sentences, analyze the question word that is used and check the option
5. Finding the general idea of the text
The trick is similar with finding the tittle of the text, you see the first sentences in the first paragraph and some times you can add with the last sentence, combine them, you can find the answer of it
6. To find the social function of the text ? ( purpose, aim, goal )
The trick: See the kind of the text. it's easy for you to do
- Narrative text : to entertain/ to amuse / to make the readers happy
- Recount text : To re-tell the past event
- Procedure text: To explain the steps / How to make ( the process) some thing
- Descriptive text: To describe some one/ some thing / a place in particular / specific way
- Report text : To describe some thing / some body / a place in general
