RECOUNT CONTINUED . . . 
This is the second week of this course. First, our instructor,Asst.Prof.Dr.Usa Noytim, reviewed the content since last week about the RECOUNT including Text organisation and Language Features, In my opinion, I think that it is good that she explained the content to all of students before we started the lesson. Because it made us analyze the text as well.
Next, we studied the text about My Grandpa's Funeral in Toraja we read the text, filled the blank with Text organization and used Language features each of text organization.
When I read the text completely, I analysed the text, filled the blank with text organization and used Language features respectively. This text is difficult a little bit because of its vocabularies. Then, I answered the questions that follow of this text.
Here is my handout that filled with the wonderful colors
Gathered together with relatives in the ceremony
Grandpa's body was dressed in a fine wearing and kept in the tongkonan
Slaughtered the pigs and buffaloes and moved the corpse to face north
Placed the corpse in a sandal wood coffin
Brought out of the house and placed on an open platform beneath the granary
Prepared the wooden puppet and lakian
Bore the coffin form the house and placed in the lakian
The grandpa's coffin wad lowered from the funeral tower and brought up to the mountain side family graveyard
Installed the wooden puppet on a high balcony
To know the sequence of events
To easily understand the text
To prioritize of events in the text
To know what happened in the past
To use this matter in reading as well
To know the language features such as Specific participants, liking items to do with time, action verbs etc. in reading
Here are the words associated with the police report
After that, we studied about Five Vietnamese nationals were arrested for stealing cash from crowded shops in popular tourists areas in Chiang Mai's Muang district. I used the strategies that I got from last subject,English Reading Strategies, since last semester in reading that are looking the lead of news first and then, reading the body details of news subsequently.
From this news, I also knew that Five Vietnamese were arrested as a result of stealing cash in Chiang Mai. One of them is 23-year-old woman and the others are four men aged 18-44.
Then, we filled the blank with text organization, found the language features of this news in order to know the sequence of event and answered the questions
When we read, filled the blank and answered the questions completely, the teacher gave one question that asks the opinion of this incident and she also assigned us to answer this question in weblog too.
What do you think about this incident?
At my point of view, It is surprising that Vietnamese people came to rob in Thailand because they are Asian and Thailand and Vietnam are one of Asian too. This news makes me scared about the robbery from Asian people and Thai people should aware of this incident either.
Later, we studied about Investigation report. It is about the couple consists of an old woman and a boy in their lorry were stopped when they were driving too fast. The police tried to investigate them by requiring license card but she described it with a trace of irony as being a "piece of paper with your picture on." After that, they were being taken to the police station, the woman started up the vehicle and drove away. The police raced after her on his motorcycle, unfortunately, he ended up in a muddy ditch which allowed the couple to escape.
Next, the teacher assigned us to answer the questions, find news in order to share with partner every week and need to write on weblog subsequently.
When I read the text completely, I analysed the text, filled the blank with text organization and used Language features respectively. This text is difficult a little bit because of its vocabularies. Then, I answered the questions that follow of this text.
Here is my handout that filled with the wonderful colors 
From this text,My Grandpa's Funeral in Toraja, I concluded how to organize the funeral of Indonesia. They are as follow :
Gathered together with relatives in the ceremony Grandpa's body was dressed in a fine wearing and kept in the tongkonan Slaughtered the pigs and buffaloes and moved the corpse to face north Placed the corpse in a sandal wood coffin Brought out of the house and placed on an open platform beneath the granary Prepared the wooden puppet and lakian Bore the coffin form the house and placed in the lakian The grandpa's coffin wad lowered from the funeral tower and brought up to the mountain side family graveyard Installed the wooden puppet on a high balcony
Then, we studied about An Excursion to the Botanic Gardens and answered the questions. When we had already finished these matters, our teacher asked us that how recount helps you to understand the text. I also listed the benefits of recount that are as follow :
To know the sequence of events To easily understand the text To prioritize of events in the text To know what happened in the past To use this matter in reading as well To know the language features such as Specific participants, liking items to do with time, action verbs etc. in reading
Next, we started to learn new type of recount that is Factual Recount. Actually, Factual Recount is recording the particulars of an incident (e.g. report of a science, experiment, police report, news report, news report, historical account) and today we started to learn about the Police Report
Before this lesson was started, the teacher had given us to write the words associated with the Police Report on the whiteboard.
Here are the words associated with the police report 
On the board, some of them are difficult for me because they are the words that I haven't met before. However, I jotted down the words on my notebook and searched them by Cambridge dictionary online in order to know and memorize them.
