A. Introduction
What have you achieved in your life? An achievement is something which someone has
succeeded in doing, especially after a lot of effort. Have you ever won something? Had you done
something amazing before you entered senior high school? What will have you done in 2025?
In this chapter we are going to discuss more about actions/ activities/ events which are completed
in the past, present, and future. To describe actions/ activities/ events which are completed in the
past, present, and future, we need to learn past tenses.
Look at the following dialogue.
The underlined sentences in the dialogue above use perfect tenses. They describe completed
actions in the past, present, and future.
The social functions of asking for and giving information about actions/ activities/ events
which are completed in the past, present, and future are to explain about information,
convince someone, guide something, and promise something.
Perfect tenses show the time an action or state of being begins and is completed (perfected).
In other words, the perfect tenses are used to talk about actions that completed at the time of
speaking. The perfect tense is used to connect past time with present time. It describes actions
that have begun in the past and are continuing and/ or have an effect now.
There are three forms of the perfect tenses. They are past perfect tense, present perfect tense,
and future perfect tense. The perfect tenses are formed by putting has, have, or had before the
past participle form of the verb.
Exercise: Identifying Situations
Read the dialogues and identify the situations.
1. John : What have you done to make your parents proud of you?
Jack : I have won badminton competitions twice.
John : That‘s great.
__________________________________________________________________
Linda : Did you meet Andy yesterday?
Vera : No. I didn‘t. Andy and his family had left their house when I went there.
__________________________________________________________________
Sarah : What will you have done in the next ten years?
Dio : By the year 2030, I will have been a director in my own company.
__________________________________________________________________
Fay : Did you tell Fonny about a study group in Ryan‘s house?
James : Yes. I had told her before I came here.
Fay : Good. What is that in your hand?
James : Oh, this is my novel.
Fay : That‘s 5 cm. I have read that novel twice. It‘s very funny. I like it. Is that yours?
James : No. I have just borrowed at the library. I will have finished reading it by next
Monday.
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 21
Completed Actions in the Past (Past Perfect Tense)
Look at the following dialogue.
Joe : You met Linda yesterday, but you didn‘t recognize her.
Jack : That‘s true. I didn‘t recognize her because she had cut her long hair.
From the dialogue above, we know that Jack explains the completed actions in the past. The
underlined sentence uses past perfect tense.
Past perfect tense describes an action that took place in the past before another past action. In
the past perfect tense, the situation was completed by the time another past event occurred.
The past perfect tense can be thought of as a previous past. When a sentence describes two
past events, the past perfect tense indicates what happened first.
Pattern:
(+) subject + had + past participle (verb 3)
(-) subject + had not (hadn‘t) + past participle (verb 3)
(?) had + Subject + past participle (verb 3)?

3. Language features of asking for and giving information about future plans.
There are many ways to state future plans.

We use will to talk about plans decided at the moment of speaking.
Example: I will be a doctor.
b. Be going to
We use be going to t o talk about plans decided before the moment of speaking. Be
going to can be used to express future plans, particularly if they are likely to happen
soon.
Example: I‟m going to study math for the test tomorrow.
c. Present Continuous Tense
We usually use present continuous tense to state future plan when the plan is an
arrangement – more than one person is involved and we know the time and place.
Example: I am visiting my grandparents this weekend.
d. First Conditional
We can use first conditional or type 1 conditional to state future plans with certain
conditions.

Exercise 1: Reading Comprehension
Read the following text. Then, answer the questions.
My name is Rivozanov. I have a lot of dreams. When I was a kid my dream is to be a pilot,
and as the time goes by, I have other dreams, sometimes; I want to be a president, an army,
doctor and other interesting dreams. But now I have grown up, now I know what I want to
be.
Now, I almost finish my studies in university. I will obtain Bachelor of Science Information.
After I graduate, I want to work in one of the biggest oil company such as Chevron, Petronas,
Exxon, etc. I want to be the staff manager or manager at least. I prefer working offshore
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 33

the office.
All of this is just the beginning of my dreams. After I work for 4 or 5 years, I will have a lot
of money by that time, I will quit my job and start a business. I will buy 3 or 4 shops and run
my shops and have another business such as food court or restaurant and anything that have a
good prospect. By that way I will make more money comparing than I work in the company.
After I run my business, I am going to marry a beautiful woman. I will start to make a family
and planned to have 2 children which are a boy and a girl. I will live in a big house which
having a garden outside or maybe a pool so my children can play inside my yard because, if
my children play outside, it will be a little risky. I just don‘t want anything bad to happen to
my family.
I think that is all I can say about my dreams. It is just a simple dream for a simple man like

Exercise 2: Identifying Expressions
Based on the text in Exercise 1, identify the expressions of stating future plans.
Underline them.
C. First Conditionals (if + present tense)
Look at the following expressions of stating future plans.
- I will study French if I have enough money
- If it rains, I will stay at home.
The expressions above use the first conditionals. The if-clauses show certain conditions, and
the main clauses show the future plans. It is called future real condition. The future real
condition describes what you think you will do in a specific situation in the future. A
condition is set and then met in the future.
Conditional sentences tell us an action depends on another condition. They have an if-clause
that is called the conditional clause and a main (independent) clause that is sometimes called
a consequence clause. Future real condition is also called the first conditional.
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 34
The first conditional (type 1 conditional) is used to talk about real possibilities of facts. It
refers to a possible condition and its probable result. These sentences are based on facts, and
they are used to make sentences about the real world, and about particular situations. In other
words, we use it when we talk about possibilities in the present or in the future.
The meaning of first conditional sentence is to predict what (according to the speaker or
writer) will happen in the future if something else happens. That is something will probably
happen in the condition is fulfilled.
1. Functions of First Conditionals
a. Expressing future plans
Example: If I get a driving license, I will drive to work.
b. Warning someone
Example: If you drive carelessly, you will get an accident.
c. Advising someone
Example: If you prepare for the test well, you will pass it easily.
d. Promising
Example: If I pass the math test, I will buy you a bowl of chicken noodle.
e. Making arrangement
Example: If you book the hotel, I will book the flight.
f. Making offers
Example: If you come to my house I will help you do the math assignment.
g. Expressing general truth
Example: If you don’t eat anything, you will get sick.
However, we usually express general truth with zero conditionals.
Example: If it rains, the grass is wet.
2. Form
If-clause (condition) Main clause (result)
If + simple present tense Simple future tense
If + S + Verb1/ Verb1-s/ -es S + will + base verb
If I go to Bali next month for work I will visit Ubud
(if this thing happens) (that thing will happen)
We use comma (,) to join the clauses. For example: If I go to Bali next month for
work, I will visit Ubud.
The clause order can be reversed with no change in the sentence meaning. We do not
use comma when we reverse the order. For example, I will visit Ubud if I go to Bali
next month for work.
3. Use of unless, provided (that), as long as, and when
a. Unless
A part from it, we can also use unless to express future plans. It means ‗if not‘ it is
for negative conditions. We use unless if the verb in the if-clause is negative. We
use unless with a positive present tense verb and the simple future tense with will
in the main clause when we state a condition before an action can take place.
Form
Unless + simple present tense, simple future tense
Simple future tense, unless + simple present tense
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 35
Example:
If I have time, I will come.
Unless I have time, I won‘t come.
It is similar with If I don’t have time, I won’t come.
b. Provided (that)
We use Provided (that) to imply a threat.
Form: Provided (that) + simple present tense, simple future tense.
Example: Provided (that) you listen to her carefully, nothing will happen to you.
c. As long as
As long as means ―if, but only if‖. We use it to imply a threat too.
Form: As long as + simple present tense, simple future tense.
Example: As long as you give me the money back, I will lend it to you again
d. When
We sometimes are confused to use if or when. We use when for things which are
sure to happen. It is used in time clauses and general conditional clauses, not in
the first conditional clauses. Remember, use if (not when) for things which will
possibly happen.
Example: When I go vacation, I will buy some souvenirs.
In conclusion, we can see the first conditionals to express future plans. We use if or
unless to state the future plans.
Notes:
Sometimes, we are confused about future real conditional sentences and present
unreal conditional sentences. Future real conditional sentences are type 1 conditionals,
while present unreal conditional sentences are type 2 conditional. Future real
conditionals (first conditionals) are used to talk about what you think you will do in a
specific situation in the future, while present unreal conditionals are used to talk about
what you would generally do in imaginary situations.

A. Introduction
Look at the picture below.
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 44
What is the man doing? Do you know him? The man is reading a poem. The man in the
picture is a poet.
Sometimes we are confused about poem and poetry. They have differences. A poem is the
arrangement of these words, while poetry is the use of words and language to evoke the
writer‘s feelings and thoughts. A poem is the end result of this process of creating a literary
piece using metaphor, symbols and ambiguity.
In this chapter we are going to learn about social function, structure and language features of
poem.
Exercise 1: My Knowledge
Answer the following questions based on your own knowledge.
1. Have you ever read a poem?
2. What poem have you ever read?
3. Is the poem beautiful?
4. Can you read a poem? Is it difficult or not?
5. Can you understand a poem easily? Why?
B. Poems
Poetry has a long history. Thousands of years ago, when most people couldn‘t read or write,
poets told stories about the adventures of men and women in the form of poems. Poetry is
still popular today and what‘s so great about it is that anyone can write it. Poems can be about
people, objects, animals, the weather, and feelings. In fact, they can be about anything.
A poem is a piece of writing in which the words are chosen for their beauty and sound and
are carefully arranged, often in short lines with rhyme. A poem is comprised of a particular
rhythmic and metrical pattern. Poetry is a way to communicate experiences, emotions, ideas,
and thoughts using rhyme, rhythm, sound patterns, and imagery. Poets use words, sounds,
and imagery to paint word pictures.
1. Social function of poems
a. To give pleasure
b. To entertain
c. To give value of life
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 45
d. As a way to express feelings and emotions
Based on T.S. Eliot, poetry functions to preserve language and influence people at a
universal level. Its contribution to improvement of language affects the people‘s
communication in a society and polishes their artistic sensibilities.
2. Structure of poems
Poems come in many sizes and shapes. A prose has sentences, but a poem has poetic
lines. Poets decide how long each line is going to be and where it will break off.
Poetry is written in stanzas and lines that use rhythm to express feelings and ideas. Poets
will pay particular attention to the length, placement, and grouping of lines and stanzas.
This is called form. Lines or stanzas can be rearranged in order to create a specific effect
on the reader.
Beside stanzas and lines, another aspect of the structures of poems is rhythm, which is the
beat of the poem. This is usually measured in meters, which are sets of stressed and
unstressed syllables. Poets often arrange words according to meter in order to create
specific sounds or beats.
In conclusion, here are the structures of poem or poetry and the definition.
a. Line a word or a row of words. It is the basic unit of poetry.
b. Stanza a group of lines in a poem. It is often called verse.
c. Rhyme scheme
Rhyme is a pattern of words that contain similar sounds. Rhyme scheme is the pattern
that end rhymes form in a stanza or poem. Rhyme scheme is designated by the
assignment of a different letter of the alphabet to each new rhyme, for example,
AABB, AAAA, ABAB.
d. Meter the rhythmic structure of a poem. Sometimes you can feel the meter or
rhythm by tapping for each syllable.
e. Line Break where a line of poetry ends. It causes the reader to pause and will
determine how the poem is read.
3. Types of Poems
a. There are four types of poems based on he line number.
1. Couplet consists of two lines
2. Tercet consists of three lines
3. Quatrain consists of four lines
4. Sestet consists of six lines
5. Octave consists of eight lines
b. There are some main types of poems.
1. Lyric poem: poetry that expresses a speaker‘s personal thoughts or feelings. Lyric
poems are short and descriptive.
2. Narrative poem: a poem that tells a story. Narrative poems are a little longer.
3. Epic poem: book-length works that tell a story important to an entire nation or
culture. They are often anonymous.
c. The following are other types of poems.
1. Ode : a long, serious lyric poem that is elevated in tone and style. Some
odes celebrate a person, an event, or event a power or object.
2. Haiku : a traditional, nature-inspired Japanese form of poetry that has 3 limes
and 17 syllables. Lines one and three are five syllables each. Line
two is seven syllables.
3. Sonnet : a lyric poem of 14 lines, typically written in iambic pentameter and
following strict patterns of stanza division and rhyme.
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 46
4. Quintain : five lines with meter and end rhyme.
5. Cinquain : five lines, unrhymed (2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 syllables)
6. Diamante : it is similar to cinquain, but it has seven lines. Diamante poems have
the shape of a diamond.
7. Acrostic : a poem that is written around a word. The first letter of each line
spells out that word.
8. Limericks : a five-line witty poem with a distinctive rhythm. The first, second
and fifth lines, the longer lines, rhyme. The third and fourth shorter
lines rhyme. (A-A-B-B-A)
9. Concrete : a visual poem printed in a shape suggesting its subject.
10. Free verse : poetry that has no fixed pattern or meter, rhyme, line length, or
stanza arrangement.
4. Language features of poems
The following are some language features of poems. They are called poetic devices.
a. Word choice
Word choice is the writer‘s selection of words as determined by a number of factors,
including meaning (both denotative and connotative), specificity, level of diction,
tone, and audience. Word choice will make the poetry good and effective. For
example, rather than use small, in poem you can use tiny, petite, little, etc.
b. Symbol
A symbol is an event or a physical object (a thing, a person, a place) that represent
something non-physical such as an idea, a value, or an emotion. For example, a ring is
symbolic of unity and marriage; a budding tree in spring might symbolize life and
fertility; a leafless tree in the winter could be a symbol for death.
c. Tone and Mood
Mood is a characteristic state of feeling. Tone is the distinctive property of a complex
sound. These are ways which a poet reveals attitudes and feelings, in the style of
language or expression of thought used to develop the subject. Certain tones include
not only irony and satire, but may be loving, condescending, bitter, pitying, fanciful,
solemn, and a host of other emotions and attitudes. Tone can also refer to the overall
mood of the poem itself, in the sense of a pervading atmosphere intended to influence
the readers‘ emotional response and foster expectations of the conclusion.
d. Imagery
Imagery is the use of vivid language to generate ideas and/ or evoke mental images,
not only of the visual sense, but of sensation and emotion as well. There are some
kinds of imagery, such as visual imagery, auditory imagery, gustatory imagery,
olfactory imagery, and kinesthetic imagery (temperature, feeling, movement, touch).
For example, The noise of your eyes/ it’s far too loud/ and thus I look away (auditory
imagery)
e. Figurative Language or Figures of Speech
Figurative language is language that uses words or expressions with a meaning that is
different from the literal interpretation. A figure of speech is a word or phrase that has
a meaning other than the literal meaning. Figurative language is the use of multiple
types of language, including ‗figures of speech‘, to make language more colorful and
descriptive.
1. Onomatopoeia
It is the use or format of words whose sounds imitate their meanings (e.g. buzz,
honk, boom). The word phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests the sound
that it describes. They sound like the objects or actions to which they refer.
2. Simile
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 47
Simile is a figure of speech expressing a resemblance between things. The
comparison uses the words like or as. For example, My love is like a red rose.
3. Personification
Personification is a figure of speech where human qualities are given to animals,
objects, or ideas. For example, The days crept by slowly, sorrowfully.
4. Hyperbole
Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. For
example, I am dying of a shame.
5. Metaphor
Metaphor is a comparison made between things which are essentially not alike.
For example, War is the mother of all battles.
f. Rhythm
Rhythm is the beat or regular pattern of sounds found in some poems. This is the beat
of the line emphasis of words. For example, One two, buckle my shoe / Three, four,
shut the door.
g. Repetition
Repetition is the use of the same words or phrases over and over. It is the purposeful
reuse of words and phrases for an effect. Sometimes, especially with longer phrases
that contain a different key word each time, this is called parallelism. For example, I
was glad; so very, very glad.
h. Alliteration
Alliteration is the use of the same consonant at the beginning of each word. In other
words, alliteration is the repetition of the first consonants in a phrase. For example,
Big blue basketball bet.
i. Assonance
Assonance is the figurative term used to refer to the repetition of a vowel sound in a
line of text or poetry. In other words, assonance is the repetition of vowels in a phrase.
For example, Go slow over the road. (repetition of the long ‗o‘ sound)
j. Rhyme
Rhyme is a pattern of words that contain similar sounds. Poems often rhyme, but they
don‘t have to. Rhyme can be one-syllable words, for example, moon, spoon, June.
Rhyming words can also be more than one syllable, as long as the last syllable
rhymes, for example, balloon, lagoon, etc.
5. How to analyze a Poem
It answers the questions: What is the poet saying? And how does the poet say?
a. Identify the subject matter and theme
What is the poem about? What ideas is the poet expressing? What images/ words,
symbols, does the poet use to convey and reinforce his/ her ideas?
b. Identify the technique
How does the poet communicate his/ her ideas? It includes:
1) The structure (number of stanzas)
2) The tone (the voice or sound of the poem), for example, serious, humorous , etc.
3) The mood (feeling and atmosphere created), for example, peaceful, eerie, etc.
4) The imagery (personification, hyperbole, etc.)
5) The language (rhythm-repetition (alliteration-assonance))
6) The rhyme (sound of words. What sound repeat)

I’ve heard it in the chilliest land, And on the strangest sea; Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me.

I Remember, I Remember title
(By Thomas Hood) author
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 51
I remember, I remember,
The house where I was born,
The title window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn;
He never came a wink too soon,
Nor brought too long a day,
But now, I often wish the night
Had borne my breath away!
I remember, I remember,
The roses, red and white,
The vi‘lets, and the lily-cups,
Those flowers made of light!
The lilacs where the robin built,
And where my brother set
The laburnum on his birthday,
The tree is living yet!
I remember, I remember,
Where I was used to swing,
And thought the air must rush as fresh
To swallows on the wing;
My spirit flew in feathers then,
That is so heavy now,
And summer pools could hardly cool
The fever on my brow!
I remember, I remember,
The fir-trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky:
It was a childish ignorance,
But now ‗tis little joy
To know I‘m farther off from heav‘n
Than when I was a boy.
C. Speaking Skill
We have learnt poems in this chapter. Now, it‘s time for you to test your speaking skill by
reading a poem and telling your opinion about poems. Pay attention to your pronunciation,
intonation, and spelling!
Here are some ways to read poem.
1. Read the poem slowly.
2. Read in a normal, relaxed tone of voice.
3. Obviously, poems come in lines, but pausing at the end of every line will create a
choppy effect and interrupt the flow of the poem‘s sense.
4. Use a dictionary to look up unfamiliar words and hard-to-pronounce words.
Exercise 1: Analyzing Dictions
Work in pairs. Read the following poem and articulate the words carefully. Does this poem
use poetic words? Show, tell the meaning, and explain your reason.

A Fairy Song
(By William Shakespeare)
Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire!
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon‘s sphere;
And I serve the Fairy Queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green;
The cowslips tall her pensioners be;
In their hold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours;
In those freckles live their savours;
I must go seek some dewdrops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslip‘s ear.

Where she lived,
Why were
Her friends taking care of her
In the little house in the forest?
The witch was trying to
End her life

A. Introduction
Before learning more about short stories, work in pairs and answer the following questions.
1. What do short stories belong to? Fiction or non fiction?
2. Do short stories entertain you?
3. Can short stories teach or inform you something?
4. Is a short story longer than a novel?
5. What do you know about fables, fairy tales, folktales, legends and myths?
B. Narrative Text: Short Story
Narrative text is a story with complication or problematic events and it tries to find the
resolutions to solve the problems. One of narrative texts is a short story. A short story is a
short work of fiction. Fiction, as you know, is prose writing about imagined events and
characters. A short story is fictional prose composition. It can usually be read in one sitting
and it can be any length. According to Collins Dictionary, a short story is a prose narrative of
shorter length than the novel, especially one that concentrates on a single theme. In
conclusion, the definition of a short story is a piece of fiction that has a limited number of
words, only a few characters and one theme.
The short story is one of the oldest types of literature, and it has existed in many forms,
including myths, fairy tales, ballads, and parables. The modern short story, in an improved
form, originated in the first quarter of the nineteenth century is the first in the United States of
America. Before the short story came into existence different genres of literature had been
popular in different periods.
The short story took a long time to reach its modern form. It was very much influenced by the
novel because it is a miniature form of that art of prose fiction. Unlike a novel, which might
be read over several days or weeks, a short story is usually read in one burst. A novel can
tackle multiple plots and themes, with a variety of prominent characters. This makes it a more
condensed text and one needing closer reading.
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 59
1. Social function of short story
a. To amuse or entertain the readers with a story
b. To teach a moral lesson through a story
c. To provide unique literary experience through reading specific artistic genres
d. To provide a path to understand human experience and brings in rich insights to
one self and to others who have a special contribution of art to civilization.
2. Structures of short story
Short stories belong to narrative texts, so they have similar structure as the following:
a. Orientation. It introduces the characters, setting, and the situations. It is the
background information.
b. Rising action. This includes the events leading up to the main problem or conflict.
c. Climax. This is when the problem reaches a high point. The story reaches a crucial
moment. The tension that is building reaches a peak.
d. Falling action. This is when the characters work to solve the problem or conflict.
It is sometimes called the denouement. This part of the story explores the
consequences of the climax. The tension in the story begins to ease.
e. Resolution. This is how things end up the story. The story‘s central problem is
finally solved, leaving the reader with a sense of completion.
3. Elements of short story
There are some elements of short story.
1. Characters.
Characters are defined into two.
a. Characters are the individuals that the story is about, or the persons in the
story.
b. Characters are the characteristics of a person.
2. Setting.
Setting is the time and location in which a story takes place.
3. Plot.
The plot is how the author arranges events to develop his basic idea; it is the
sequence of events in a story or play. The plot is a planned, logical series of events
having a beginning, middle, and end. The short story usually has one plot, so it
can be read in one sitting.
4. Conflict.
Conflict is essential to plot. Without conflict, there is no plot. It is the opposition
of force which ties one incident to another and makes the plot move. Every story
has a conflict to solve. The plot is centered on this conflict and the ways in which
the characters attempt to resolve the problem.
5. Point of view.
Point of view is the angle from which the story is told. There are four types of
point of view:
- First person point of view (using ―I‖ to tell the story)
- Second person point of view (the story is told to ―you‖)
- Third person point of view, limited (the story is about ―he‖ or ―she‖)
- Third person point of view, omniscient (the story is still about ―he‖ or ―she‖,
but the narrator has a full access to the thoughts and experiences of all
characters in the story)
6. Theme
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 60
Theme is the main idea that weaves the story together, the why, the underlying
ideas of what happens in the piece of literature, often a statement about society or
human nature. The theme in a piece of fiction is its controlling idea or its central
insight. It is the author‘s underlying meaning or main idea that he is trying to
convey. The theme may be the author‘s thoughts about a topic or view of human
nature.
4. Characteristics of short story
a. It can be read in one sitting. Edgar Allan Poe, in his essay ―The Philosophy of
Composition‖ said that a short story should be read in one sitting, anywhere from
a half hour to two hours. In contemporary fiction, a short story can range from
1,000 to 20,000 words.
b. It contains little or no dialogue, but it may also be made up of dialogue while the
description is brief.
c. A modern short story describes all kinds of problems. Some short stories end by
explaining what has been going on – possibly in a surprising way. Others end by
leaving the reader asking questions sometimes in a disturbing way. A successful
ending leaves the reader wanting to know more but having to read the story again
to make sure they have not missed anything the first time.
d. It has a single setting and one central theme. The story has to keep the reader
focused throughout in case they miss something.
e. It has one main character with a few additional minor characters. The writer has to
establish character and setting very quickly to allow the development of the short
story.
f. It doesn‘t have so many complications in the plot. Because of the shorter length, a
short story usually focuses on one plot.
Exercise 1: Reading Comprehension
Read the text and answer the questions.
The Smartest Parrot
Once upon time, a man had a wonderful parrot. There was no other parrot like it.
The parrot could say every word, except one word. The parrot would not say the name of
the place where it was born. The name of the place was Catano.
The man felt excited having the smartest parrot but he could not understand why the
parrot would not say Catano. The man tried to teach the bird to say Catano however the
bird kept not saying the word.
At the first, the man was very nice to the bird but then he got very angry. ―You
stupid bird!‖ pointed the man to the parrot. ―Why can‘t you say the word? Say Catano! Or
I will kill you‖ the man said angrily. Although he tried hard to teach, the parrot would not
say it. Then the man got so angry and shouted to the bird over and over; ―Say Catano or
I‘ll kill you‖. The bird kept not to say the word of Catano.
One day after he had been trying so many times to make the bird say Catano, the
man really got very angry. He could not bear it. He picked the parrot and threw it into the
chicken house. There were four old chickens for next dinner ―You are as stupid as the
chickens. Just stay with them‖ Said the man angrily. Then he continued to humble; ―You
know, I will cut the chicken for my meal. Next it will be your turn, I will eat you too,
stupid parrot‖. After that he left the chicken house.
The next day, the man came back to the chicken house. He opened the door and was
very surprised. He could not believe what he saw at the chicken house. There were three
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 61
death chickens on the floor. At the moment, the parrot was standing proudly and
screaming at the last old chicken; ―Say Catano or I‘ll kill you‖.

Best Left Silent Robert Rae, England, United Kingdom
First published October 1, 2005
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 62
There‘s a screaming inside my head. I know it‘s me, but of course that doesn‘t change
anything. It‘s funny, how people always talk of that dry, analytical part of you that just
watches while your world caves in. Always the writers and the poets and the psychologists
can say that to you in their smiling voices, honey rubbed along a wound, but they don‘t know
that even the ones who watch can scream. Oh, God, but they can scream so loud that nobody
hears them.
Once upon a time, I woke up in bed, and saw a crack of morning coming through my
curtains. Two hours later, it‘s impossible to summon the fascination that a chink of light can
throw you into, especially when those hours have seen you burn your reserves of goodwill for
the day. After all, smiling takes so many less muscles, doesn‘t it? It‘s far easier on the face;
not even painful compared to trying to look neutral when it‘s facing you across the kitchen
table as if the sunlight means something. Nobody really notices a rictus when you‘re drinking
coffee.
School isn‘t bad as these things go, which they do. The corners of your eyes get a lot of work,
naturally, and you can spend a pleasant period spying out a teacher‘s sad smile: that mouth-
up-eyes-down flicker that manages to lose itself on any other wayward charge. It‘s not
limited to the masters and matrons of wisdom, heaven knows; you know the look social
services have perfected, the one that wants to help you, child, but stops just short of moving
the body in any meaningful way. As long as she knows you care, you‘re allowed to comfort
yourself with thoughts that a girl doesn‘t make her real friends ‘till university anyway, and a
cup of tea can solve all her problems. Bags, though, not tea leaves – too bitter for children
and adults alike.
The vastly superior Garden wins a battle with the television to hold sway over time and
inattention, though each one clamours in it‘s own way. After all, one could watch gardening
on TV, but there‘s always the chance of your father coming in, and laughing at the fat smiling
men leaning on spades and talking about how to sow seeds in your own back yard. He has a
very loud laugh, my father, and very strong. It makes his stomach wobble up and down, as if
he were breathing very fast, or hard. Or both.
Trees and bushes offer shade to fit the mood and a paradise for the scuttling beetles and
centipedes, chased in and out of sight by every innocent child you can still summon to mind.
Most of them look the same, though none of them look like me anymore. It‘s surprising how
sad that can feel. Hemlock and nightshade grow up against the far wall, lustrous green and
purple providing too fine a trap for many a poor cat, intent on stroking their lithe, slender
bodies though every patch of the poison they can find. It‘ll make them sick eventually, of
course, but for now they look healthy enough.
The sun slides away taking the sunset with it, and a million yellow street lights spring up for
those of us defenseless enough to miss her. They can‘t quite make the dust motes dance the
same way, but they shed enough light to cast faint shadows on the walls, until a real shadow
comes to close the curtains, and leave them that way. I used to be afraid of the dark, like most
children, but I had a father who would stay beside me for a while, until I discovered how
misplaced my fear had been. I outgrew it, but he‘s always been there when he needed me.
I‘m not afraid of the dark, anymore, and I‘m not afraid of the nightmares, it‘s the waking up
from them I don‘t like. Screaming out in the dark used to bring them running, but I don‘t do
that anymore, not even when he‘s already there. After all, why would you make life more
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 63
complicated than it already is, when you can scream inside your head for hours and hours and
be sure that you will never have to stop, that you will never have to breathe hard or fast or
smell the hot humid air all around you, no-one will ever see, no-one will ever hear. No one
will ever know. You can try and sit vigil by the streetlights until the sun saves you again, but
not even they are witness to the things that bump against your life in the night. Cry for me, if
you feel like, if you think your empathy can bring me some pity I don‘t need, but don‘t leave
the light on. No one will ever know. Don‘t leave the light on. No one will ever know.
Goodnight.

C. Language Features of Short Story
The following are language features of short story.
1. Use of specific noun as pronoun of person or animal in the story.
2. Use of past tense
Past tense is used in writing short stories, which is basically a narrative of human
experience. Past tenses include simple past tense, past continuous tense, and past
perfect tense.

of presenting scenes in ―real time‖ can grab a reader‘s attention better than an account
of some past scene where time already separates the reader mentally from the scene.

present perfect tense are usually used in direct speech and orientation of the story.
4. Use of either first person singular or third person singular. It may e a mixture of both.

Exercise 1: Reading Comprehension
Read the following story. Then, answer the questions.
THE TWO BROTHERS Leo Tolstoy Public
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 64
Two brothers set out on a journey together. At noon they lay down in a forest to rest. When they woke up, they saw a stone lying next to them. There was something written on the stone, and they tried to make out what it was. "Whoever find this stone," they read, "let him go straight into the forest at sunrise. In the forest a river will appear; let him swim across the river to the other side. There he will find a she-bear and her cubs. Let him take the cubs from her and run up the mountain with them, without once looking back. On the top of the mountain he will see a house, and in that house, he will find happiness." When they had read what was written on the stone, the younger brother said: "Let us go together. We can swim across the river, carry off the bear cubs, take them to the house on the mountain, and together find happiness. "I am not going into the forest after bear cubs," said the elder brother, "and I advise you not to go. In the first place, no one can know whether what is written on this stone is the truth --perhaps it was written in jest. It is even possible that we have not read it correctly. In the second place, even if what is written here is the truth -- suppose we go into the forest and night comes, and we cannot find the river. We shall be lost. And if we do find the river, how are we going to swim across it? It may be broad and swift. In the third place, even if we swim across the river, do you think it is an easy thing to take her cubs away from the she-bear? She will seize us, and, instead of finding happiness, we shall perish, and all for nothing. In the fourth place, even if we succeeded in carrying off the bear cubs, we could not run up a mountain without stopping to rest. And, most important of all, the stone does not tell us what kind of happiness we should find in that house. it may be that the happiness awaiting us there is not at all the sort of happiness we would want." "In my opinion," said the younger brother, "you are wrong. What is written on the stone could not have been put there without reason. And it is all perfectly clear. In the first place, no harm will come to us if we try. In the second place, if we do not go, someone else will read the inscription on the stone and find happiness, and we shall have lost it all. In the third place, if you do not make an effort and try hard, nothing in the world will succeed. In the fourth place, I should not want it thought that I was afraid of anything." The elder brother answered him by saying, "The proverb says: 'In seeking great happiness small pleasures may be lost.’ And also: ‘A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.’" The younger brother replied, "I have heard: ‘He who is afraid of the leaves must not go into the forest.’ And also: ‘Beneath a stone no water flows. The younger brother set off, and the elder remained behind. No sooner had the younger brother gone into the forest, than he found the river, swam across it, and there on the other side was the she-bear, fast asleep. He took her cubs, and ran up the mountain without looking back. When he reached the top of the mountain the people came out to meet him with a carriage to take him into the city, where they made him their king. He ruled for five years. In the sixth year, another king, who was stronger than he, waged war against him. The city was conquered, and he was driven out. Again the younger brother became a wanderer, and he arrived one day at the house of the elder brother. The elder brother was living in a village and had grown neither rich nor poor. The two brothers rejoiced at seeing each other, and at once began telling of all that had happened to them. "You see, said the elder brother, "I was right. Here I have lived quietly and well, while you, though you may have been a king, have seen a great deal of trouble," "I do not regret having gone into the
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 65
forest and up the mountain,’ replied the younger brother. "I may have nothing now, but I shall always have something to remember, while you have no memories at all."

The following text is for questions 1 to 3. Once upon a time there lived as neighbours, a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit was a good short,
and the bear, being very clumsy, could not use the arrow to good advantage. The bear would
call over the rabbit and asked the rabbit to take his bow and arrows and came with the bear to
the other side of the hill. The rabbit, fearing to arouse the bear's anger by refusing, consented
and went with the bear and shot enough buffalo to satisfy the hungry family. Indeed, he shot
and killed so many that there was lots of meat left after the bear and his family had loaded
themselves, and packed all they could carry home. The bear was very gluttonous and did not

A. Introduction
Gambar brosur, leaflet, pamphlet
Those pictures above are usually used by people to promote their products. People may
advertise their products or events by mass media, such as television, radio, newspaper.
In this unit we are going to discuss some functional texts, such as brochure, leaflet,
banner, and pamphlet.
B. Brochures, Leaflets, Banners, and Pamphlets
Advertising design is classified into hanging screens, banners, publicity towers, and
appear in the design of TV commercials, radio commercials, poster commercials, etc.
information appears in the design of brochures, leaflets, pamphlets, and many others.
1. Brochures
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 95
A brochure is an informative paper document (often also used for advertising) that
can be folded into a template, pamphlet, or leaflet. A brochure can also be a set of
related unfolded papers put into a pocket folder or packet. Brochures are promotional
documents, primarily used to introduce
a company, organization, products or services and inform prospective customers or
members of the public of the benefits.
A brochure is usually folded and only includes summary information that is
promotional in character. A booklet is usually several sheets of paper with a card
stock cover and bound with staples, string or plastic binding. In contrast, a single
piece of unfolded paper is usually called an insert, flyer or bulletin.
The main purpose of a brochure is to extend the reader's knowledge on one specific
topic in which the brochure centers around.
Catch target audience's eyes at first sight with its astonishingly beautiful visual
design.
Promote your products, agency, or service in an intuitive way.
Build trust between you and your potential clients.
Compared with advertising on TV or in newspapers, brochures seem to be more
cost-effective.
After people get used to splendid online advertisements, a tangible, tactile, and
delicate brochure becomes more precious.
2. Leaflets
A leaflet is a piece of paper that gives you information or advertises something. It is
a single sheet print. People usually print leaflets because of its convenience and
affordability. It is usually given to people for free. It usually contains an
advertisement or notice, usually intended for free distribution.
Functions of leaflets:
- As handouts
- To inform an event
- To advertise local product or service
- To inform a specific campaign
- To announce a new restaurant, etc.
3. Banners
A banner is a long strip of cloth with a message on it. A banner is also defined as a
flag or other piece of cloth bearing a symbol, logo, slogan, or other message. It is
usually installed across or along a street. It is a flag of non-grid material that is
suspended from a rigid arm fixed to a pole or utility pole.
Functions of banners:
- To promote a new institution or a product
- To announce/ inform something publicly
- To advertise a product
- To welcome visitors
4. Pamphlets
A pamphlet is a small, unbound booklet that is used to advertise or provide
information on a single subject. They are mainly used for informing rather than
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 96
direct selling. You'll sometimes hear someone use the term ―leaflet‖ when
describing a pamphlet too.
Pamphlets can vary in the number of pages they have. Some consist of a single sheet
of paper printed on the front and back and folded in half. This arrangement is often
called a leaflet. Other pamphlets may have several pages folded in half and stapled at
the crease to create a booklet.
Pamphlets tend to provide less information than a brochure, but the information is
more focused. This makes them an effective tool for informing readers of a specific
event or service. Pamphlets also tend to be used more to spread awareness than to
sell to the reader directly.
Functions of pamphlets:
- To inform or persuade an audience of something
- To describe instructions for appliances, electronics, etc.
In short, the differences among brochure, leaflet, banner, and pamphlet are the following:
Difference Brochures Leaflets Pamphlets

publication
For commercial use For commercial use For non-commercial
use, educating
customers

- Inserting it in newspaper
- Distributing them in malls,

- Stick it at public places so that
people can read it, such as
waiting room
- Leaving them in strategic

A. Introduction
Writers may give specific examples as evidence to support their general claims or arguments.
Examples can also be used to help the reader or listener understand unfamiliar or difficult
concepts, and they tend to be easier to remember. For this reason, they are often used in
teaching. Finally, students may be required to give examples in their work to demonstrate that
they have understood a complex problem or concept. It is important to note that when
statements are supported with examples, the explicit language signaling this may not always
be used.
Rhetorical functions in academic writing: Giving examples
In academic writing it is common to make generalizations. It is often useful to support these
generalizations with examples. The examples in academic writing are specific. This gives us
points more authority and strengthens our arguments.
B. Giving Examples
Examples are often used in academic writing to support main ideas and claims. Writers
provides examples that illustrate and clarify difficult to understand concepts or ideas. The
example usually appears in the same sentence as the new word or in sentences that come
before or after the word and can help the readers to figure out the meaning of a new word or
concept.
Examples
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 107
Look at the way examples are given in the following texts.
The quiet outpouring of lava is characteristic of basaltic lavas with about 50 per cent silica.
The Hawaiian volcanoes are typical examples. On the island of Hawaii, Mauna Loa rises 13,
675 feet above sea level and 20 miles away is Kilauea 4,000 feet high.
Though the authorities do not seem to have been aware of the scale and significance of
capital flows within the sterling area, they were aware that the exchange controls in that area
were not all that London hoped. For example, a major recipient of capital from the UK in this
period, Australia, had notoriously "leaky" controls.
Morgan was not interested in the terms for themselves but in the principles which they
seemed to reveal when they were put together. For example, he would have been interested in
the fact that the English word "uncle" can be used in speaking both of one's mother's brother
and one's father's brother while in Swedish, for instance, two different words are used.
Understanding this religious social consciousness requires some grasp of the traditional
Catholic teaching on the natural order and the good society, and how the nation is to respect
the divine order established by God. An example of this can be taken from the recent
contraception controversy which began in the 1960s.
What socialism there has been among the catholic _ nationalist tradition has always tended to
be allied to republicanism, especially in the period 1913 to 1930 (Rumpf and Hepburn 1977:
13). The trade union movement was a case in point.
This was the situation which Morgan described for the Iroquois when several tribes get
together, not any more on the basis of kinship or marriage, but on the basis of
confederacy. This was exemplified by the league of the Iroquois which Morgan had studied
in detail.
A key experiment shows this. A hole is made in the shell and a small cube of cells is carefully
cut out from the posterior margin containing the polarizing region and grafted into the
anterior margin of the limb bud of another embryo.
The explanation behind that paradox is once again the problem of the two uses of
anthropology in their work. The rhetorical use they made of anthropologists' ideas as a source
for a criticism of the society of their time, especially as a criticism of the way
institutions such as the family, marriage, and the status of women were seen as unchangeable
and eternally fixed, is one which seems totally justified to present-day anthropologists.
Social functions of giving examples

writing.

b. To give clarifications
c. To make information clearer

Exercise 5: Reading Comprehension
Read the following text! Then answer the questions!
The term 'arts' is often closely linked to festivals and events, and the arts are seen to be an
integral part of any celebration of a country's history and culture. Traditionally, the arts were
seen to incorporate works and activities such as classical music, opera, theatre, ballet,
painting, and sculpture. However, the arts today include a wider collection of activities such
as contemporary dance, film, popular music, and the various components of the visual arts.
Indeed, the programme of any international arts festival reflects the diversity of the
contemporary arts and its audience base. For example, the 2003 programme for the Perth
International Arts Festival included traditional arts such as theatre, opera, dance, and classical
music along with contemporary arts such as the Lotteries Film Season, International Writers
Festival, Visual Arts Festival, and an Indigenous Arts Showcase.

It is apparent that when a person desires to learn a second language, he must study
and use that language outside of the formal classroom setting. If he does not use his
new mode of communication, he will never truly progress to a proficient level. He
must seek as many opportunities as possible to employ that new language in "real"
situations. There are many things a student can do to supplement his learning and
second language acquisition. For example, students can attend churches where the
target language is spoken. They can make many friends and attend numerous

Example:
Why Exercise Is Important
Title
The majority of us claim that we do not have time for exercise. We
feel too busy to do that. However, many experts say that exercise
has great role in making our body healthy.
Thesis
Being physically active offers many advantages. In physical
reward, exercise can help reducing body weight and making our
body fitter. Exercise is also believed to reduce stress levels,
improve sleep patterns, and reduce the risk of heart disease,
diabetes, and some forms of cancer. Beside physical advantage,
exercise also brings good effects mentally. Due to the fitter body,
exercise can make us feel refreshed and happy, increasing our life
and expectancy.
Argument 1
How can we exercise while we are busy? Such question is
commonly found among us. Actually, exercise can be done in
simple ways. We can go walking while shopping. We can take the
stairs rather than the lift at the office. Or, we can go cycling while
enjoying our leisure time.
Argument 2
After all, doing exercise is difficult in a busy life, but a little
exercise will help us feel better.
Recommendation
Sometime we are difficult to differentiate between hortatory exposition and analytical
exposition. They are different. The last paragraph of hortatory exposition makes different
from analytical exposition. The analytical exposition ends the paragraph with the restatement
of the writer‘s thesis. Hortatory exposition will be ended with a strong recommendation.

Exercise 2: Identifying structure

Paragraph 1: ________________________________________
Paragraph 2: ________________________________________
We should stop littering
Litter comes from different sources, and different people. For instance, it may be intentional
litter by people throwing things from their car, pedestrians dropping litter on the ground, or if
someone aims for a garbage can, misses and leaves it. It is called littering. Another source of
litter may be unintentional. For example, uncovered loads and can easily be blown out of
trucks, cars and trailers. There is rubbish from the wind, and rubbish which animals carry
from sites that are not properly secured. Littering has many effects for our environment and
health. That‘s why we should stop littering.
Litter can be harmful to people, animals and the natural environment, as it can threaten their
existence and evolution. Litter can be very dirty. Not only does it not look nice, but it may
carry germs. Some animals such as flies and rats can pick up the germs and become carriers
for diseases that may make people sick. Litter can become hazardous when found
accidentally by animals. Litter is bad for the environment because it wastes our natural
resources. Furthermore, litter directly and indirectly affects the tourism industry and our
quality life.
The reason that why humans are littering is that most of them are lazy to throw their rubbish
in the trashcan. If we stop littering, our ecosystem will be clean and we will no longer need
to worry about environment. As students, we believe that one small change can change the
world. In the future if everyone has stopped littering, the world could be more pleasant to

Why Students Should Eat Breakfast Everyday
A lot of people, especially young people, go through the day without having breakfast. Many
people believe that it is not necessary, or they say that they don‘t have time for that, and
begin their day with no meal. I believe that everyone should eat breakfast before going to
their activities. The purpose of this paper is to show the importance of breakfast, especially
for students.
Emodul Bahasa Inggris XI IPA dan IPS Lintas Minat | 123
The first reason why you should eat breakfast before going to school is for your health. When
you skip breakfast and go to school, you are looking for a disease because it‘s not healthy to
have an empty stomach all day long. It‘s very important to have a meal and not let your
stomach work empty. All you are going to get is gastritis and a lot of problems with your
health if you don‘t eat breakfast.
Another reason for eating breakfast is because you need food to do well in your classes. Your
body and your brain are not going to function as good as they could because you have no
energy and no strength. When you try to learn something and have nothing in your stomach,
you are going to have a lot of trouble succeeding. A lot of people think that they should not
eat because they are going to feel tired, but that‘s not true. Breakfast is not a very big meal,
and on the contrary, you‘re going to feel tired if you don‘t have breakfast because you have
spent the entire previous night without food.
The last reason to have breakfast every day is because you can avoid diseases if you eat some
breakfast in the morning. If you don‘t eat, you are going to get sick, and these diseases will
have a stronger effect on you because you‘re going to get sick easier than people who have
breakfast every day.
You have to realize that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and you cannot skip
it without consequences for your health, your school and your defense mechanism. It is better
to wake up earlier and have a good breakfast that run to school without eating anything. It is
time for you to do something for your health, and eating breakfast is the better way to start
your day.

Once upon a time Sammy and his sister Marie visited their grandparents at their farm.
Sammy picked up a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods but he
could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for the lunch. As he

―Marie, let‘s wash the dishes.‖ Marie said, ―But Grandma, Sammy told me he wanted to help
in the kitchen.‖

sorry but I need Marie to help make a supper.‖ Marie just smiled and said, ―Well that‘s all
right because Sammy told me he wanted to help.‖

stayed to help. After several days of Marie taking advantage of Sammy, he finally couldn‘t
stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.
Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, ―Sweetheart, I know. I was standing at the

wondering how long you would let Marie take advantage of you.‖
