When I was reading this book, I opened my imagination entirely.
It happened when the story beginning. Former British prime Minister named, Adam Lang is up against a firm deadline to submit his memoirs to his publisher, and the project is very dangerous. The writer is not only supplied the imagination story, but also the action story. It was Michael McAra who becomes the collaborator of Adam Lang. He is killed in a accident in the ferry, the coast of Martha’s Vineyard. The climax starting when a professional ghostwriter is hired to whip the manuscript into the shape, but the unnamed writer soon discoveries that separating truth from fiction in Lang’s recollections a challenge. Besides that, the writer (Robert Harris) gave the final decision about this story. Adam Lang may have been a murder. The sad ending happened.
Searching those real words was to be extinct dramatically. This book quickly describes me into its story before I realize why? I had to be detective when I read it spontaneously. The writers gave the humors in order to bring the differently catch from the readers. It’s an intelligent page-turner that includes the mutual and serious problem. Finally, I think about this book is good to read.

Type of Article : Nonfiction
Level of difficulty for you : easy


What did you like most about this book or article?
This acticle tells us about building exchange links locally. Usually, When teachers and students think of exchanges they usually think about going to another country.
That is not always possible but valuable exchanges can also happen locally.
The experience gained by teachers and students can be just as valuable as going to another country.
I can see from the example that done by BCU students ( I don't know what is BCU stand for, sorry ).
Recently BCU students had the opportunity to work with an Australian health professional.They made a little researches on malaria. Then They made a presentation and showed it in 6 different local schools.
Beside, they also participated in a direct student exchange with nearby schools.
It means that building exchange links locally can be the new inovation in this country to make a good relation between students from different schools.

The report of Reading Assignment

Our discussion was conducted on Thursday at 10.30 a.m. – 00.25 p.m. in front of B3117B. We discussed and shared about our reading report each other. The first turn was told by Ain. She shared us about a magazine from Australia, the Kangguru magazine. It is published by the Australia government cooperate with Indonesia. The publisher of that magazine is IALF. After she had read that magazine which has twenty pages for six days, she had found many interesting point of them. They are Future transportation low cost airlines. In the term of future transportation, it tells us that there was first friendly ‘bajaj’ in Jakarta. Sutiyoso had tested in driving it. That magazine also tells us about the low cost airlines in Indonesia. It was Lion air. As we know that several times ago, there had been accident twice by this kind of airlines. The conclusion of this magazine is that it is not only tells us about Australia but also Indonesia. It includes as easy to understanding. It can be got freely by sending e-mail to www.kangguru.org. Let’s try it.

Move to next turn, that is Dwi’s turn. We should change our mind. The topic is about Korea culture. She got this article from internet by site http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/culture_of_korea. It consists of two pages. She told us about Korean dress and tea ceremony. The traditional dress is called as hanbok. Each category of social status level has different type of clothes. They sign it based on social rank. Korean considers tea is not only as medicine because it has five tastes of it. They are sweet, sour, salty, bitter and pungent tastes. This article is easy in understanding and interesting.

The last but not the least turn was Dian’s. She shared about a book that has title “Code-Switching and Code Mixing in Multilingual Societies”. It has 170 pages. She did not read the whole pages, but she had read one part of them that is code switching that has four pages. That book tells us about code switching. The language that used in that book is medium in understanding because the author, Elizabeth Marasigan wrote that book was around 1983 based on her research. The main point of code switching is that the mixing of two languages in the same sentence or discourse. The example that given by author is Pilipino and English, Tagalog and English that had done by Azores in 1967. The domain factor of occurring of code mixing is by social and linguistics. Their environment influenced them much. The linguistics point of view told that language can be shifting and formulated for structures and recurring patterns. It was based on the Marfil-Pasigna study in 1970 and Pimentel study in 1972. This part of that book tells us about many other researches that had done by many linguists.

By closing of the explanation of the book, it means that the end of our first discussion. Let see for the next discussion. Don’t miss it. Created by Dwi-Ain-Dian (DAD)

  4. Mrs. Roosevelt felt that the declaration of human rights was her greatest accomplishment in her life.
  5. I can tell that she is an accomplished, astute, and intelligent woman.




EXERCISE 6
  1. The encyclopedia entry adds more about her early life, her personal independence, her family, and her accomplishment.
  2. The 2 passages have similarity because they both tell about one person,and they are different because the first passage tells just about Mrs. Roosevelt’s accomplishment,but the second passage tells about not only her accomplishment but also her own life.
  3. I would use the encyclopedia entry because i can add more about her early life,her personal independence,and her family,not only her accomplishments.
  4. I would use web page because I could write all of her achievements.
  5. The encyclopedia entry is easier to skim because there will be easy to distinguise the part of the passage.

Nur Aininna [2201409070]

Exercise 5

1.    No , the passage doesn’t give me any information about Eleanor Roosevelt’s childhood.
2.    The passage is mostly about the biography of Eleanor Roosevelt , about what she did and her success
       in doing that.
3.    The passage gives a positive impression of  Mrs. Roosevelt , it is shown from the sentences written
       which talks about her modesty ,  her enthusiasm in human right , her optimism , her success in politics,        and also the achievements she got.
4.    What Mrs. Roosevelt felt about her greatest achievement was optimism and a determination.
5.    As a person , I can say that Mrs. Roosevelt was a great , smart , and modest woman who had huge
       contribution s in struggling for human dignity and worth. She’s a couragious person who was dare to
       struggle for what she believed was right.

Exercise 6

1)    The encyclopedia entry adds some informations about Eleanor Roosevelt’s childhood and her family.
2)    The two passages are similar for both are talking about  the biography of an inspiring figure Eleanor
       Roosevelt. But they are different for its  contents. The first text didn’t tell us about the childhood life of
       Eleanor . But the second text did.
3)    If  I were writing a report on Mrs. Roosevelt’s life , the encyclopedia entry would be a more useful
       source  for me , because usually the quality of the information  in the internet is below what we found in
       print.
4)    If  I were writing a report about US , The web page would be better to choose for it’s completed with
       some pictures or maps.
5)    It’s easier to skim rather than reading such a thick  encyclopedia  or  looking on a web page , because
       by skimming we don’t have to read all the words written that might  probably get us confused. We just
       need to find out the key words that answers the questions in our mind.

Sinta Arianti Siwi [2201409039]

Exercise 5 

1.    No, it does not give me information about Eleanor Roosevelt’s childhood.
2.    The most passage is about The Greatest Woman in the world (Eleanor Roosevelt) that the first woman who declares and introduces The Human’s Right to the world.
3.     This passage gives a positive impression of Mrs. Roosevelt. We can see that she was the most influential member of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. Her enthusiasm for her work at the United Nations was rooted in her humanitarian convictions and her steady faith in human dignity and worth.
4.    Mrs. Roosevelt felt that her greatest accomplishment as the remarkable and greatest accomplishment in her life.
5.    Mrs. Roosevelt was an intelligent person I’ve ever known. She was an enthusiastic person, an astute, accomplished, brilliant woman thoroughly familiar with the word political negotiation. She was not only optimist person, but also she had a big idea for the human life. Despite of that, Adlai Stevenson, once said of Eleanor Roosevelt, “She would rather light a candle than curse he darkness” and I’m on his side.

Exercise 6
 
1.    The encyclopedia gives more information about Mrs. Roosevelt’s childhood (it includes the place, and the time she was born completely). It also gives me the entire of her life until she passed away.
2.    The passage one and the passage two are similar in the explanation about Mrs. Roosevelt as the Greatest Woman through the world and her achievement. The differences are in the first passage described about the accomplishment of Mrs. Roosevelt in the Declaration on Human Rights generally. But in the second passage brought the information of the Mrs. Roosevelt’s life completely.
3.    If I were writing a report on Mrs. Roosevelt‘s life, I prefer using the encyclopedia one, because the encyclopedia supply the details information about Mrs. Roosevelt’s life. Not only in the childhood, but also in the end of her life. 
4.    If I were writing a report about the United Nations, I would rather use the web one than an encyclopedia. A web opens the entire of the source widely.  So that we can absorb the information and sources from it.
5.    In my side, the encyclopedia is easier to skim. With many reasons, I will explain it one by one.
First, reading encyclopedia is the same as we read the text book or a story book.
Second, if we read the encyclopedia, we get the general idea.
Third, Reading a web likes reading only the opinion of the writers in the web, that sometimes the writer gave the wrong information about the information and he/ she doesn’t have the responsibility about that. All of that, reading a web is not the bad one also; it’s just giving another source besides encyclopedia.
