 Problem and Solution (Continued...) 



This was the last day that I had to study with the teacher,Usa Noytim,. Personally, I really love her because of the way she is. She is a good model to imitate as she is. There are many things that I should do. One is to be studious to study more. Second one is industrious on practicing myself. Additionally, be honest with the job which I want to do. And be a good person in the society. 


First of all, she let us know about the score that we took the test from last week. I got 8 points which made me delight so much because I had tried harder to review the lesson, find more information to review, memorize the words that were quite difficult, and take note what I had done. These make me powerful to improve myself as better. 


Next, we started doing exercise 1 which was about the machine gun overheat and malfunction. From this text, I also knew why the machine gun has overheat and malfunction. I would like you to read the text and find the title and main idea.









The term “machine gun” is commonly applied to any gun that is designed to fire repeatedly and in rapid succession for as long as the trigger is held down.  During the course of warfare, the trigger of some machine guns may be held down almost continuously for hours to create suppressant fire (rounds fired not necessarily to kill an enemy, but to prevent them from attacking).  All of this firing can generate a lot of heat, which may cause the weapon to overheat and malfunction.  But this situation has been addressed in a number of ways.  For one, practically all machine guns fire from an open bolt, which allows air to cool the breach between bursts of fire.  Additionally, some machine guns have removable barrels, which allow hot barrels to be replaced.  And some advanced machine guns even have sophisticated barrel cooling systems, which maintain a functional heat level within the weapon.  As you might have concluded, a lot of brain power has gone into keeping those guns firing. 


 Can you conclude the text as your own words? I will let you know about the main idea and title of this text. 



There are many ways to write the title of this text. But one more thing that you need to recognize. It is when you need to write the title, You need to write by writing the big capital each of words. Except the words that are preposition, conjunction, and article. I will let you know the title of the text.






 The title of this text can be written a variety of ways which are as follow: 


1. Solution to Machine Gun Overheat and Malfunction 

2. Solving Machine Gun Overheat and Malfunction


3. How to Address Machine Gun Overheat and Malfunction Problem



What's about the main idea? Can you identify the main idea of this text? If not, I will let you know the main idea of this text.



  The main idea is the machine gun overheat and malfunction can be solved in a several ways or there are solutions to machine gun overheat and malfunction problem. 



 I would like to show you about the graphic organizer of this text 















Then. we started reading about amnesia. I will bring the text and I would like you to read the text. Also, you have to identify the main idea and title respectively.






The term "Amnesia" refers to complete or partial memory loss.  Almost all of us will experience some form of Amnesia in our lives, even if it's just a simple case of verbal amnesia, like forgetting someone's name.  Fortunately, there are things that you can do to prevent amnesia.  Here is a list of foods that you can eat to improve your memory: almonds, walnuts, bananas, honey, apples, and black pepper.  Though these foods may not reverse post-traumatic amnesia, they should improve your memory in daily life if you eat them regularly enough.



Personally, I think this text was quite easy. The problem is Amnesia and there are specific foods that can improve your memory. If you want to have a good memory, try to have them regularly enough. The specific foods are as follows:



 Almonds 






 Walnut 






 Banana 





 Honey 






 Apple 




 Black Pepper 












 I will let you know both the main idea and the title of this text. 


 The main idea is you can improve your memory through diet 


 The title is Improving Your Memory through Diet or How to Improve Your Memory 




 Here is the graphic organizer of this text 










Later, we started reading the next text which was about car accident. I will bring this text and give all of you read the text. You have to identify the main idea and title too. Then, I will let you know my title and main idea respectively.





According to the last US census, drivers 19 years old and younger represent only 5% of all drivers, yet they are involved in more than 12% of car accidents. This shows that teen drivers are involved in more accidents than their older and wiser counterparts. Sadly, teens make up more than 8% of drivers killed in car accidents. It doesn't have to be like this. We can prevent accidents and save lives by changing the minimum driving age. By raising the minimum driving age to 21 years old, more teens will live to see their 20s. Doesn't that seem worth it? I'd rather have my teenage son or daughter moaning and groaning about the driving age then getting involved in a serious accident because he or she isn't ready to drive yet. What do you think?


 The title is Preventing Road Accidents by Raising the Minimum Driving Age 


 The main idea is we can prevent road accidents by raising the minimum driving age or road accidents can be prevented by raising the minimum driving age. 



Are your answers like my answers? If yes, it means you understand greatly, if not, keep calm and reread again 



 Here is the graphic organizer of this text 









 Next, we had to read the next which was about the risk of cyclist. I will let you read the text. Then, identify the title and main idea. I will show you about the graphic organizer serially. 






 Bicycles are an excellent choice when it comes to transportation. Biking is healthy and faster than walking, but it is also dangerous. Each year tens of thousands of people are killed or injured while riding a bicycle. This is because our roads are designed for motorists


and not cyclists, but we can change the landscape. Each time a road is built or rebuilt, we should put in bike lanes. Clearly marked bicycle lanes will give cyclists a safer place to ride. Our cyclists deserve this little bit of consideration. In fact, their very lives are depending on it.








      The title is Saving Cyclist from Road Accidents by Putting in Blue Lanes or Saving Cyclist by Putting in Bike Lanes 


      The main idea is Cyclist's accidents can be prevented by putting in bike lanes 



 Here is the graphic organizer of this text

After that, we started reading the last text. Then, we have to answer the questions by choosing the best answer and writing the correct answer in order to check our comprehension.


When we finished studying, she let us know about how to be good at English. She would like us practice and improve ourselves by reading English news, listening news e.g. VOA, BBC, etc. and speaking English with others everyday. She told us life has not been like a crystal stairs. There are many obstacles which we have to pass them. Keep going on continuing with effort. One day will be us. Don't surrender easily. Try to hang in there for our parents. In addition, try to be good at person in the society. Working with honesty and love can make us successful in our lives. Don't cheat whatever we want. Try to do it best every day. One day will be yours. 



 I will try my best and it will be enough.

 It's time to ask question 



 What did you learn today?


I started to study the last lesson which was Problem and Solution (Continue...)







 What did you find easy?


In my opinion, Finding the discourse markers is easy for me. Because I know these conjunction as well and I will learn as much as I can in order to understand and know greatly.


 




 What did you find difficult?


Personally, analyzing the text is difficult. When I finish analyzing, I have to include the problem and solution as diagram because the teacher usually gives us to write diagram in order to check comprehension.









 What did you solve the problem?


I tried to pay attention during the class, read more and practice to write the diagram.






 What are your attitudes towards the lesson?


Personally, this lesson is similar to cause and effect. But it has explanation in solution. I feel this lesson is neutral. Yet, I should analyze the text what is problem and what is solution. Also, I have to think what solution is. Hence, I should study hard in order to understand this lesson greatly.
