A beautiful place in Indonesia
Have you ever been to a beautiful place like Indonesia in this picture? Indonesia is a beautiful country, isn’t it? Are you proud of Indonesia? How do your friends know that you are very proud of it? Yes, you have to describe it! Now look at your classroom. Sometimes we are not happy with our classroom. Why don’t we like it sometimes? Yes,because it’s dirty. The desks and the chairs are messy. The blackboard is full of messy writing. The students sit on the desks. They speak very loudly. How do your friends know that you don’t like it? Yes, you have to describe it.
untuk mendeskripsikan sesuatu; benda, orang, dan binatang, tentu mempunyai tujuan. Seperti contoh di atas misalkan Ananda mendeskripsikan Indonesia tujuannya untuk menunjukan rasa bangga memiliki tanah air yang cantik.

a. To make them stand out (untuk membuatnya menonjol)
b. To be proud of them (karena bangga)
c. To promote them (untuk mempromosikanya)

- Beni : Does it have a pink ribbon separator? This one?
- Edo : No. The ribbon is white. There’s a sticker on the cover. It’s shiny, white, round with a picture of an orang-utan.
- Beni : It must be the one over there, on the teacher’s desk.
- Edo : Yes, you’re right. Thank you.
Dialog 2.
- Siti : Is it easy to find your house?
- Lina : I think it is. I live in a new housing complex, so all the houses look the same. They all have a blue roof and no fence. They are all white and grey. There’s a tree in front of every house. But we have two trees. One of them is a star-fruit tree.
- Siti : Is it near the small bridge on Jalan Teratai?
- Lina : Yes. My house has a handycraft from Tana Toraja hanging on the front door. It is a triangle with beautiful carving.
- Siti : But when the door is open, we can’t see it from the street, can we?
- Lina : You are right. Okay. In front of my house there is also a big stone. Some children often sit and play there.
- Siti : Okay. I’m sure we will find it.
Selanjutnya Ananda akan berlatih kembali pemahaman bacaan (reading comprehension) terkait teks deskripsi tentang benda.
My Favorite Bag
I have some bags, but my favorite bag is the one my father bought me last month for my birthday.
It has blue color with some accent of red pouch at the front. It has two shoulder straps in the back because it is a knapsack type. So I can bring it on my back. On the front part there is a picture of my favorite cartoon.
My bag is made of parachute material. It looks quite strong to hold books and my other school things inside. That’s why I like to bring it to school every day.
