A.MODELING OF TEXT
Read aloud this speech!
Good morning, ladies and
gentlemen
Thank you very much for the House of
Representatives which had invited me to give the speech concerning about the
mystery sinetrons shown in many television presently. My name is Budi Santoso,
a lecturer at University of Indonesia majoring in mass communication. Here, I
represent the academics point of view about the subject we discuss this morning.
As we know, there are many mystery
sinetrons shown on Television stations presently. The sinetrons depict horrible
scenes about the spirit world. It is described that spirits often disturb
people by frightening them in the darkness, when they walk alone at night or at
the cemetery. The spirits are pictured as frightening appearance such as white
clothes flying corpse, shattered face copse etc. the show must be abandoned for
several reasons.
Firstly, it make a wrong perception
of people especially children and women to do activity at nights, for example
going to the wells, even cooking at kitchen alone. How do you fell if you
always live in anxiety.
Thirdly, such kind of sinetrons waste
out time to think unreal phenomena while we are facing many kinds of living
problems.
In brief, for the reason, I think
television station must stop showing mystery sinetrons. They are bad influences
for people, frightening our children and destroying their belief to god.
Thank you very much for your
attention.

Expressing Sadness
Study the
dialogue below.
Anto : Why do you look so sad, Andre?
Andre : My girlfriend has broken me up just now. I am so distressed now.
Anto : Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Are there any
problems between you and her?
Andre : No, there aren't.
Anto : So, why did she break you up?
Andre : I don't know. She didn't tell me the reason.
Her decision made me so upset.
Anto : Well, may
be she is not the best for you. You are still young. You still have many
chances.
Andre : Yes, you're right. Anyway, thanks for your
advice.
Anto : Don't mention it. That's what a friend
for.
