di sebuah sungai, dia mendaptkan seekor ikan besar, ikan besar yang cantik. Dia sangat senang.

ikan tersebut, dia merasa kasihan dengan ikan tersebut. Di keesokan harinya, dia pergi
memancing lagi. Tapi kali ini dia tidak mendapatkan ikan apapun. Dia sangat lapar. Kemudian
dia pulang ke rumah dengan tangan kosong. Ketika dia tiba di rumah, dia terkejut, ada seorang
gadis disana.

Nelayan itu melihat ke ember dimana dia meletakan ikan tersebut kemarin.
kamu tidak membunuhku kemarin, dan saya sangat berterimaksih. Saya akan membalas
kebaikan mu lanjut gadis itu.

Airnya semakin tinggi dan tinggi. Ibunya Samo sedih dan berubah menjdi ikan lagi. Samo berlari
ke bukit dan diam disana. Airnya sudah menenggelamkan desa. Kemudian bukit tersebut

Analitycal exposition

Learning English

Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix
pleasure with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to
your English progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea
why we use songs in language learning.

Firstly, the song stuck in my head Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the
last song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both
enjoyable and sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the
idea that songs work on our short-and-long term memory.

Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of
repetition, which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that they
are effective makes them many times more motivating than other text. Although
usually simple, some songs can be quite complex syntactically, lexically and
poetically, and can be analyzed in the same way as any other literary sample.

Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most pop
songs and probably many other types dont have precise people, place or time
reference.

In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage
harmony within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools
in sustaining culture, religion, patriotism and yeas, even revolution.

Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs such as
studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension, translating songs,
learning vocabulary, spelling and culture.

From the elaboration above, it can be concluded that learning through music and
songs, learning English can be enjoyable and fun.

Hortatory Exposition
Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for
skateboarders to skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active,
energetic and adventurous pastime.

Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of skaters
speeding up and down the footpaths. Toddlers can be trampled on and old ladies
can be knocked down as they struggle home carrying their cat food from
supermarkets.

Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young peoples health. It increases

fitness, improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and ankles. Although
it appears to be a solo sport, when groups practice together and compete to
perform stunts or runs they form firm friendships.

Young people should be prevented from becoming overweight couch potatoes. If

they are actively involved in skating, they do not smoke, take drugs or break laws
for fun.

Kids will always seek thrills and excitement. They need to practice their 180s, 360s
and Ollies free from restrictions. We must build skate parks in the suburbs so that
streets are safe for small children and senior citizens and skaters have spaces
where they can race, chase, speed, and soar towards the sun.
