in the ceremony.

before the ceremony was done, grandpas body was kept in a series of houses
arranged in circular row around an open field called tongkonan. His corpse was
dressed in a fine wearing.
The funeral was performed in two phases. First, we slaughtered the pigs
and buffaloes, and then moved the corpse to face north. In this ceremony we
wore black clothes. After that, the corpse was placed in a sandal wood coffin.
Then, it was brought out of the house and placed on an open platform beneath
the granary. Meanwhile, my uncle, my brother, and I prepared the wooden
puppet and a funeral tower called lakian. The next phase of the ceremony was
held in this place. The coffin is borne from the house and placed in the lakian.
During the day, there were also buffalo matches. They were great matches. In
the night, we were feasting, chanting, and dancing.
On the last day, the grandpas coffin were lowered from the funeral tower
and brought up to the mountainside family graveyard. Great shouting and
excitement followed it from the relatives and the guests. Finally, we installed
the wooden puppet on a high balcony where other puppets representing the
members of a whole family were already there.
The funeral ceremonies made my family and me tired. However, we were
grateful because it ran smoothly.

 Activity 5. Read The Narrative below
The Fox and The Crow

A crow, perched in a tree with a piece of cheese in his beak, attracted the eye
and nose of a fox. "If you can sing as prettily as you sit," said the fox, "then you
are the prettiest singer within my scent and sight." The fox had read somewhere,
and somewhere, and somewhere else, that praising the voice of a crow with a
cheese in his beak would make him drop the cheese and sing. But this is not
what happened to this particular crow in this particular case.
"They say you are sly and they say you are crazy," said the crow, having
carefully removed the cheese from his beak with the claws of one foot, "but you
must be nearsighted as well. Warblers wear gay hats and colored jackets and
bright vest, and they are a dollar a hundred. I wear black and I am unique."
I am sure you are," said the fox, who was
neither crazy nor nearsighted, but sly. "I recognize you, now that I look more
closely, as the most famed and talented of all birds, and I fain would hear you
tell about yourself, but I am hungry and must go." "Tarry awhile," said the crow
quickly, "and share my lunch with me." Whereupon he tossed the cunning fox
the lion's share of the cheese, and began to tell about himself. "A ship that sails
without a crow's nest sails to doom," he said. "Bars may come and bars may go,
but crow bars last forever. I am the pioneer of flight, I am the map maker. Last,
but never least, my flight is known to scientists and engineers, geometricians,
and scholar, as the shortest distance between two points. Any two points," he
concluded arrogantly. "Oh, every two points, I am sure," said the fox. "And
thank you for the lion's share of what I know you could not spare." And with
this he trotted away into the woods, his appetite appeased, leaving the hungry
crow perched forlornly in the tree.

 Lets Make a Summary
Every text has its own structure. The structure of narrative text consists of
three parts: complication, and resolution. Orientation describes scene and
introduces the participants of the story. Complication begins when there is a
problem in resolution. The structure of narrative text occurs in the text
variously. A text may have only one complication and resolution but another
text may have more than complication and resolution.

CONTOH LAIN HORTATORY EXPOSITION

THESIS :
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 dont have time for
that, and begin their day with no meal.I believe that everyone should eat breakfas
t before going to their activities. The purpose of this paper is to show the importance of
breakfast, especially for students.

ARGUMENT 1 :
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 its not
healthy to have an empty stomach all day long. Its 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 dont eat breakfast.

ARGUMENT 2 :
Another reason for eating breakfast is because you need food for to do well in your
classes. You 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
havenothing 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
thats not true.
Breakfast is not a very big meal, and on the contrary, youre going to feel tired if
you dont have breakfast because you have spent the entire previous night without
food.

ARGUMENT 3:
The last reason to have breakfast every day is because you can avoid diseases if you eat
some breakfast in the morning.
If you dont eat, you are going to get sick, and these diseases will have a stronger effect
on you because youre going to get sick easier than people who have breakfast every day.
RECOMMENDATION :
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.
