READING SKILL
1. Variabel : Reading Skill
2. Construct variable :
a) definiton
 A broader definition of reading presented by Rubin (1982:2) is that “reading is the
bringing and the getting of meaning from the printed page”.
 Lines (2005:71) states that reading comprehension is a process of negotiating
understanding between the writer and reader.
 According to Cartel et al (2001:144) state that reading is the interaction between
readers and text that makes dynamic relationship between two.
So, the conclusion of definition reading skill according to some expert above is a
process understanding and getting meaning of the text to make relation between two.
b) Reading process :
(Lapp & Flood (1978:6))
1. Letter and word recognition
2. Comprehension of concepts
3. Reaction and assimiliation of the new knowledge with the reader’s past experience
c) Type of reading :
There are the following types of reading and the corresponding types of activities
to develop the corresponding reading skills:
 Skimming reading is reading to confirm expectations; reading for
communicative tasks.
 General reading or scanning is reading to extract specific information; reading
for general understanding.
 Close reading or searching reading is reading for complete understanding;
reading for detailed comprehension (information; function and discourse).

Questions Reading Skill
Choose the best answer to each question based on the information which is stated or implied in
the text.
No student of a foreign language needs to be told that grammar is complex. By changing
word sequences and by adding a range of auxiliary verbs and suffixes, we are able to
communicate tiny variations in meaning. We can turn a statement into a question, state whether
an action has taken place or is soon to take place, and perform many other word tricks to convey
subtle differences in meaning. Nor is this complexity inherent to the English language. All
languages, even those of so-called ‘primitive’ tribes have clever grammatical components. The
Cherokee pronoun system, for example, can distinguish between ‘you and I’, ‘several other
people and I’ and ‘you, another person and I’. In English, all these meanings are summed up in
the one, crude pronoun ‘we’. Grammar is universal and plays a part in every language, no matter
how widespread it is. So the question which has baffled many linguists is – who created
grammar?
At first, it would appear that this question is impossible to answer. To find out how grammar
is created, someone needs to be present at the time of a language’s creation, documenting its
emergence. Many historical linguists are able to trace modern complex languages back to earlier

7. 7
languages, but in order to answer the question of how complex languages are actually formed,
the researcher needs to observe how languages are started from scratch. Amazingly, however,
this is possible.
Some of the most recent languages evolved due to the Atlantic slave trade. At that time,
slaves from a number of different ethnicities were forced to work together under colonizer’s
rule. Since they had no opportunity to learn each other’s languages, they developed a make-shift
language called a pidgin. Pidgins are strings of words copied from the language of the
landowner. They have little in the way of grammar, and in many cases it is difficult for a listener
to deduce when an event happened, and who did what to whom. [A] Speakers need to use
circumlocution in order to make their meaning understood. [B] Interestingly, however, all it
takes for a pidgin to become a complex language is for a group of children to be exposed to it at
the time when they learn their mother tongue. [C] Slave children did not simply copy the strings
of words uttered by their elders, they adapted their words to create a new, expressive language.
[D] Complex grammar systems which emerge from pidgins are termed creoles, and they are
invented by children. Further evidence of this can be seen in studying sign languages for the
deaf. Sign languages are not simply a series of gestures; they utilise the same grammatical
machinery that is found in spoken languages. Moreover, there are many different languages used
worldwide. The creation of one such language was documented quite recently in Nicaragua.
Previously, all deaf people were isolated from each other, but in 1979 a new government
introduced schools for the deaf. Although children were taught speech and lip reading in the
classroom, in the playgrounds they began to invent their own sign system, using the gestures that
they used at home.
It was basically a pidgin. Each child used the signs differently, and there was no consistent
grammar. However, children who joined the school later, when this inventive sign system was
already around, developed a quite different sign language. Although it was based on the signs of
the older children, the younger children’s language was more fluid and compact, and it utilised a
large range of grammatical devices to clarify meaning. What is more, all the children used the
signs in the same way. A new creole was born.
Some linguists believe that many of the world’s most established languages were creoles at first.
The English past tense –ed ending may have evolved from the verb ‘do’. ‘It ended’mayonce

8. 8
have been’It end-did’. Therefore it would appear that even the most widespread languages were
partly created by children. Children appear to have innate grammatical machinery in their
brains, which springs to life when they are first trying to make sense of the world around them.
Their minds can serve to create logical, complex structures, even when there is no grammar
present for them to copy

 Writing is of fundamental importance to learning, to development of the person in each
learner, and to success in the educational system. As teachers, we need to work
continually to aid our students in their search for fulfillment as writers (Graham &

 Lannon (1989) views writing as “the process of transforming the material discovered by
research inspiration, accident, trial or error, or whatever into a message with a definite
meaning- writing is a process of deliberate decision” (p.9). It means that writing must
convey a message with a meaning.
 According to Tarigan (1985: 5) writing is productive skills for writing an indirect
communication and the nature of the character is very different from that expressed by
speaking directly, therefore writing is included an ability.
So, the conclusion of writing skill according to some expert above is process to
transform something in mind into writing.

16. How to make fried rice :
Ingredients Simple Fried Rice : 4 cups cooked white rice, 1 carrot, 1 medium yellow
onion, 1 clove garlic, 1 tsp. fresh ginger, 1 cup bean sprouts, 3 eggs, 1 pinch black

17. 17
pepper, 1 tsp. salt, 3 tbsp. soy sauce, 2 tbsp. vegetable oil, 2 tbsp, sesame oil, Green
onion for garnish, 1/2 lb. cooked chicken
Method : Cook 4 cups of white rice. Just place the rice in boiling water and cook it for the
amount of time listed on the instructions. Some types of white rice can take just 10 or so
minutes to boil, while others can take 30 minutes or more. You can also microwave instant
rice in the microwave, but it may not be as tasty. Prepare the vegetables. First, wash 2
cups of carrots, 1 medium onion, 1 clove of garlic, one ginger root, and 1 cup of bean
sprouts. Then, dice the carrots and onions, and mince just 1 tsp. of fresh ginger. Set
these ingredients aside. Pour 2 tbsp. of vegetable oil into a large pan. The pan
should be very deep, almost like a wok. Place it over medium heat. Make sure the pan
is clear of any trace of water, because the oil crackles and flies everywhere. Cook the
vegetables in the pan for 3 minutes. Place the carrots, onion, garlic, bean sprouts,
and ginger into the pan. Throw in 1 tsp. of salt and a pinch of black pepper. The
vegetables should sweat a bit, but they shouldn't turn brown.
17. How to make pudding :
1. Get a bowl and liquid measuring cup
2. Use the liquid measuring cup to measure and pour 1-1/2 cups of milk into the
bowl.
3. Open the pudding mix and pour it into the bowl
4. Stir the milk and pudding mix for 1-3 minutes with a spoon, until the pudding
is well blended. No dry pudding powder should be floating on top of the milk.
5. Cover and chill the pudding in a refrigerator for five minutes to an hour, then
remove and enjoy!
18. how to make fruit juice :
1. Buy five or six tropical passion fruit - the yellow kind. They need to be crinkly
but not rotten. Don't let the look put you off because they need to be very ripe to
make the juice.
2. Cut each in half and scoop out the flesh into a blender.
3. Add about 3 times the amount of water and run the blender for a minute or
so.The black seed will separate from the jelly. Don't over blend as the seeds will
break up and create a grit.

18. 18
4. Pour the mixture into a large jug or bowl through a sieve to catch the seeds.Rub
in the mixture in the sieve to get every drop.
5. Add about three times as much cold water again and sugar to taste. Use a
teaspoon to taste the juice until you get the right amount. You may still need to
add more water, but do it cautiously as you don't want to make the juice too
weak.
6. Run the juice through a funnel into a jug or bottle and cool. 5 passion fruit will
make around 2 1⁄2 liters (0.7 US gal) of juice, so make sure your bottle is large
enough.
7. Enjoy straight from the fridge, with ice, or as a cocktail with rum or vodka!

SPEAKING SKILL
1. Variabel : Speaking Skill
2. Construct variable :
a) Definition
 Louma (2004), speaking is a way to distinguish aspects of speaker’s personality and
attitudes through the manner the spoken language sounds.
 Fulcher, (2003, cited in Itkonen, 2010) states that speaking is: “…the verbal use of
the language to communicate with others” (p. 23).
 Kavaliauskienė (2006) defines speaking as a productive skill, whose objective is to
facilitate communication.
Conclusion , speaking is a way to communicate with other which use language as media.
b) Speaking process :
 Levelt (1989) proposed that speech production involves four major processes :
Conceptualization, formulation, articulation, and self monitoring.
 Lado (1977: 200) says also that either four of five components are generally
recognized in analysis of speech process. They are :
1. Pronunciation (including the segmental features-vowels and consonant and the
stress and intonation / pattern)
2. Grammar
3. Vocabulary
4. Fluency (the case and the speech of the flow of speech)
5. comprehension
c) Type of speaking :
Brown (2004: 140) says that there are five basic types of speaking. They are:
1. Imitative. This type of speaking performance is the ability to imitate a word or
phrase or possibly a sentence.

26. 26
2. Intensive. This second type of speaking frequently employed in assessments
context is in the production of short stretches of oral language designed to
demonstrate competence in a narrow band of grammatical, phrasal, lexical or
phonological relationships.
3. Responsive. This type includes interaction and test comprehension but at the
somewhat limited level of very short conversations, standard greeting and small
talk, simple request and comments and the like. The stimulus is usually a spoken
prompt in order to preserve authenticity.
4. Interactive. Interaction can take the two forms of transactional language, which
has the purpose of exchanging specific information, or interpersonal exchanges,
which have the purpose of maintaining social relationships
5. Extensive. Extensive oral production tasks include speeches, oral presentations,
and story telling, during which the opportunity for oral interaction from listeners is
either highly limited or ruled out altogether.

Key answer
1.
2. everything has changed = segalanya telah berubah
. Read the text and speak in front of class.......
Many schools do not allow students to bring cell phones to school. It is
very reasonable because bringing phone to school potentially disrupts the
learning process. Most students use cell phones irresponsibly. They use cell
phones to talk to their friend during class time. They also use the calculator and
camera features in the class as well. Those potentially lead less concentration
in the time of learning and teaching process.
Students go to school to learn and behave fair way. Mobile phones
provide a large temptation to cheat in tests. They can communicate to anyone
and almost anywhere in the world. Because of the small size of the cell phone,
students can send a text quietly and discreetly. The text can go unnoticed
anywhere to get help on answering tests, homework, and other class
assignment. Learning in school is to behave fair not cheating.
Read the text and speak in front of class…
