INTRODUCTION

Learning a language means learning its vocabularies. We use the vocabularies in

communication either in spoken form or written form. We try to send messages, share
information and ideas by using the language. In general, no language acquisition is possible
without understanding the vocabulary, either in the first or the second language (Kweldju,
2004:18).
The process and the way that we go through in learning and using the target language
usually take hard effort especially in learning a foreign language. This is because a foreign
language is different from a mother language. The differences can be in the rules of the sounds
system (phonology), the word formation (morphology), the word structures (syntax), the words’
meaning (semantic), and the social context (sociolinguistic). These can cause problems in
learning a foreign language. However, teachers of a foreign language should always motivate
their students to keep practicing using the language. They should use many methods which can
interest their students in using the target language in classroom communication.
Students often find difficulties in using a foreign language because they lack of
vocabularies and they often forget easily new vocabularies after they get the meaning from
dictionaries. Sometimes in speaking classes, students can not speak fluently because they lack of
vocabularies. They say only a few sentences because they can not find the appropriate
vocabularies to be used in expressing their ideas. The same problem is found in writing classes
that students can not write essays easily because they lack of vocabularies. Even though they
have already learned the strategies or techniques in writing essays, still they find difficulties in
constructing sentences. They find difficulties in choosing and using the appropriate vocabularies.
This article is not aim at neglecting the students’ problems in sounds system, grammar, and so
on. Nor is it aim at placing vocabulary as the most influential factor in foreign language mastery.
It just intends to bring vocabularies as one of students’ most difficult aspect to the discussion.
This writing concern with the ways teachers can use to help their students to improve the
vocabularies since vocabularies are very crucial in learning a foreign language. This writing is
hopefully can give suggestions to improve or enlarge students’ vocabularies toward English as a
foreign language.

 CHAPTER II

THEORY

1. Definition
Narrative text is a text which contains about story (fiction/non fiction / tales / folktales /
fables /myths /epic) and its plot consists of climax of the story (complication) then followed by
the resolution.

2. Purpose
A narrative text is a text amuse, entertain and deal with actual or vicarious experience in
different ways. Narrative deal with problematic events which lead to a crisis or turning point of
some kind, which in turn finds a resolution.

3. The generic sctucture

1) Orientation: it means to introduce the participants or the characters of the story with
the time and place set. Orientation actually exists in every text type though it has
different term. In this story, the first paragraph is clearly seen to introduce the
participants of the Cinderella Story. They were Cinderella her self as the main
character of the story, her step mother which treated Cinderella badly, and her steps
sister which supported her mother to make Cinderella was treated very badly.
Cinderella was introduced as a hero in this story. She struggled against the bad
treatment from her step mother and sisters.
2) Complication: it is such the crisis of the story. If there is not the crisis, the story is
not a narrative text. In a long story, the complication appears in several situations. It
means that some time there is more then one complication. In this Cinderella story,
we can see clearly that there are Major Complication and Minor Complication.
The second paragraph is the major complication of this Cinderella story. Cinderella
got bad treatment from her stepmother. It is the bad crisis which drives into several
minor complications which Cinderella has to overcome.
3) Resolution: it is the final series of the events which happen in the story. The
resolution can be good or bad. The point is that it has been accomplished by the
characters. Like complication, there are Major Resolution and Minor Resolution.
In the last paragraph, it is said that finally Cinderella lived happily. It is the happy
resolution of the bad treatment.
 4. Language Features of Narrative

1.1 Using Simple Past Tense

Simple Past Tense is used to express the events that have occurred at a particular time
in the past. events can be short or long. Means can also be several events happening one after
one. In general, there are two important facts to remember in english tenses this:

- Negative sentences and questions are not as positive sentence but retain the basic
form of the verb use :
1. Events in the past that have been completed (for example: I went to school)
2. The situation in the past (they lived a normal life until they won a lottery)
3. A series of actions in the past

Formula
Positive (+)

1.2 sing material process

Materials Process also called "Action verbs" is a verb that refers to the action or
actions of the characters, for example: eating (eat / ate / eaten), sleep (sleep / slept),
swimming (swim / swam / swum), etc..

1.3 Using relation process

Relational Process is also called a "linking verb" (verb interface) that allows you to
connect the subject with the complement (as Subject Complement). for example, to be (is,
am, are, was, were) taste, look, seem, Become, smell, Consist of, derive from, function as,
etc.

1.4 Using temporal conjunction

Temporal conjunction: Conjunction / conjunctive events while connecting with one
another, as firstly, then, next, afterthat, meanwhile, at that time, etc.

 CHAPTERIII
DISCUSSION

Malin Kundang

Onece upon a time, there lived a fisherman with his family in the coastal area of West Sumatra. That little family

consist of the fisherman, his wife and his son. The name of his son was Malin Kundang. They have lived in poverty for

a long time. One day the fisherman decided to sail to a new world hoping that he will find his fortune and change the

life of his family. Months passed by but there was no news from the fisherman and after more than a year the fisherman

was still not returning to his hometown.

With the help of Malin Kundang, his mother started to work in order to fulfill their daily need. Luckily, Malin Kundang

was a smart and diligent boy so he always try to lighten the burden of his mother. But he was also a bit naughty. There

was once a day where Malin was chasing a chicken and he accidentally stumbled on a rock and he injured his right arm

leaving a permanent scratch mark on it.

When he was older, he decided to be a ship’s crew so that he can sail to a new place and find his fortune so he can

make her mother happy with his wealth that he earned from his trip. He got this idea when he saw a ship captain that

was once a poor man now had became a very wealthy man after he came back from his trip. When he had made up his

mind, he told his mother about his plan. His mother disagree with his idea, but Malin kept forcing his mother to allow

him to go. Finally his mother gave him her permission.

The next day, after preparing for some supplies, Malin and his mother went to the pier where the ship was waiting for

him. He said good bye to his mother and his mother told him to never forget her and to return when he had became a

successful man. She let Malin go with tears in her eyes. They waved their hand to each other as the ship moved away

from the pier until it couldn’t be seen anymore.

Malin Kundang spent his time on the ship learning about sailorship from some senior ship’s crew. Unfortunately, the

ship was attacked by pirates in the middle of the sea. All merchandise on the ship was raided by the pirates. The pirates

also killed most of the ship’s crew. Malin Kundang was safe because during the attack, he hid in a small secret chamber

of the ship. When the pirates had acquired all valuable stuff from the ship, they went away and left the ship to sink.

The ship was drifted to the shore. Malin Kundang was the only survivor from the ship. He was so tired but he forced

himself to walk and search for the nearest village. When he arrived at the nearest village, the villagers helped him and

give him some food and water. After that, Malin Kundang told them the story about the ship and the pirates. The

villagers took pity on him so they helped him to start a live in their village.

The soil in the village was very fertile so Malin Kundang decided to start his own farm. He worked diligently on his

farm every day. Day by day he became even more wealthy. With knowledge that he acquired during his time on his old
ship, he started to buy some ship and build his own fleet with more than 100 employee. As soon as he became a rich

man, he wedded a very beautiful girl in the village.

The story of Malin Kundang who had became a wealthy man spread across the ocean until it was heard by his mother

in his hometown. His mother was so happy and grateful to hear the news that her son had became a successful man.

Ever since she heard the news, Malin Kundang’s mother went to the pier every day hoping that she can see it right

away when Malin Kundang returned to the village. But, Malin Kundang was never showed up.

Years have passed since the first time the news reach Malin Kundang’s hometown. One day, Malin and his wife

decided to go on a sea voyage with their large and beautiful ship. One of the place that they visited was Malin’s

hometown. Malin Kundang’s mother who kept showing up at the pier every day quickly recognized her son who was

standing on the ship’s deck with a beautiful woman. She became even more certain that it was Malin Kundang when

she saw the scratch mark on his right arm.

Malin Kundang’s mother run toward Malin Kundang and hug him. “Malin Kundang, my son, I miss you so much, why

didn’t you sent any news all this time? I’ve been waiting for you” she said. Instead of hugging his mother, Malin

Kundang pushed the old woman backward until she fell to the ground. “Who are you?” said Malin Kundang pretending

that he didn’t recognize his mother, “I don’t know you!” he yelled at her. “I’m your mother Malin, have you forgotten

me, son?” asked his mother. “Is this really your mother Malin?” asked his wife. “No, absolutely not. She was just a

beggar who pretended to be my mother so she can get my treasure” he said. Malin Kundang’s mother was very angry to

hear what he said, she raised her hand and pray to God, “Oh god, my heart was so hurt, if he really is my son, i cursed

him into a stone” she said. Not long after that, a storm came and destroyed Malin’s ship, after that Malin Kundang’s

body slowly turned into coral.

Orientation; the first paragraph is set to be the story introduction. Reading the orientation, reader will know that the
story is characterized with Malin Kundang and his mother. Wes Sumatra is set as the place.
Complication; this is the main element of narrative story. From the Malin Kundang myth, we know that there are more
than one complication. Many stories are composed with multi complications. They are minor complication and major
complication. When Malin Kundang and her mother did life hard, it can be the minor complication. this hard life in the
first time was solved by his successful trading as new merchant. However this narrative sotry is more interesting when
we see the major complication among the participants- Malin Kundang denied his mother after being successful
merchant. In every story, complication must be ended; happy ending or sad one
Resolution; this is the end of the story, the sad ending one. Malin Kundang faces his curse of turning into a stone.
