THE OLDEST SECURITY IN LIA MARTADINATA BANDUNG
By Wafa & Kiki (ET-7)

Our security in LIA has been working in LIA for 20 years!!! His name is Mr. Asep. He is responsible for controlling  the campus of LIA every day although his house is so far from here.
He lives in Bale Endah. He lives with his family. He has dream of becoming a successful person. His hobby is playing football, although he is old enough. But maybe, there will be a miracle for him to be a football player or football coach.

Since he is working in LIA, all is safe. That means, he is a good security and he has polite personality. We think he is a good, funny, polite, and responsible person. He is the BEST security in LIA Martadinata, Bandung

The Oldest Security is not that old, isn't he?

GETTING CLOSER WITH PAK HENDY
By Shafira Navra Darmawan (ET-7)

Today, I interviewed one of staffs of LIA Martadinata, Bandung. His name is Pak Hendy. I feel happy after this interview because now I know his name, not just a parking man. Before I interviewed him, I thought he was unfriendly, but when I was interviewing him, he is so friendly. Pak Hendy lives in Dago. His house is not far from LIA. I’m not so close to him but I think he is a nice guy.

He told me about his interesting experience. I didn’t think that he had ever joined the singing contest! He joined KDI (Kontes Dangdut Indonesia –red.). It’s maybe because his hobby is singing and I think his favorite genre of music is dangdut, but he told me that he can sing many genres of music.

Pak Hendy expects that LIA will always be the best English course in Bandung.

KANG HIKMAH, THE MULTI-TALLENTED JANITOR
By Syifa, Anan, & Danur (ET-7)

His name is Hikmah, one of the multi-talented janitor of LIA Martadinata. He has worked in LIA since December 9, 2001. It’s been 15 years now! His responsibility is cleaning LIA classrooms and other parts of LIA building.

His hobbies are swimming, cycling, and playing futsal. He is also excellent in drawing. He lives in Soreang with his mother and brother. He has an unforgettable experience with his friends, that is, when they won futsal tournament in 2004. He has a dream if someday he resign from LIA, he wants to make his own business, whatever it is as long as it’s legal and “halal”.

That’s all about Kang Hikmah. We hope Kang Hikmah’s dream comes true.

PEOPLE IN LIA: The Interview (part one)

(An activity of ET-7 students concerning Lesson 8/"People in Our School", page 57 of STAR 3 Book)

Learning is somewhat painful to some students. Being trapped in a small cubical room of 4 to 4 meters is contributing a lot to the boredom. Not to mention the teachers lacking of creativity will eventually  turn the students into learners of the least motivation. We should finally be thankful if they are still willing to stay and continue to study in LIA despite their disappointment and frustration. We surely need a breakthrough; we definitely call for an out of the box idea. 

We had this idea. When we came to Lesson 8 of STAR 3 Book (the book used in LIA for SMP students), we had this topic: PEOPLE IN OUR SCHOOL. The lesson tells of stories depicting job descriptions and daily routines of staffs (both academic and non-academic) in a school. We decided to make it different from other classes of ET-7. 

FIRST THING FIRST

We are going to interview people who are working in LIA (teachers, excluded). Firstly, we are discussing on what questions to ask. We end up with the following simple topics of questions (since most of the non-academic staffs in LIA haven't mastered English yet) such as: 

  • Personal identity (name, address, family)
  • Job or position in LIA
  • Responsibilities (job descriptions)
  • Hobbies (likes/dislikes)
  • Dreams in the future (what they want to be in the future)
  • Etc.

(Can you tell which one is the canteen keeper?)

The students are then divided into groups of threes and they are doing the followings:
First, they make up the questions and then they practice the questions with their peers. 

THEY ARE MAKING QUESTIONS TO ASK THE INTERVIEWEES

In the meantime, the teacher is contacting those people who will be interviewed and telling them that the students will need their time for a simple interview. The teacher gives them excerpts of the questions that the students will ask.

INTERVIEWING THE LIBRARIAN, MR. AHMAD


LAST MINUTES PRIOR TO THE INTERVIEW

The teacher tells the groups (of threes) to assign their members with a special assignment. 

One student will act as an interviewer. His/her main duty is to interview the interviewees.

Another student will take note the answers given by the interviewees. He/she may also ask questions to the interviewee.

The last student will have to take pictures and record the activity during the interview.

WRITING A LETTER (ADVICE COLUMN)

Writing a letter 
Writing a letter looking for an advice                              
Writing a letter to look for an advice from someone close to you is a fun activity. It is a must activity worth trying in your class of ET-level (ET-7) when coming to Unit 4 (Advice Column).


Looking busy ......
Students are to write a letter of looking for an advice to another student sitting next to him/her (if the class is quite small, like a class of 6 or 8 students). Then the student who receives the letter will have to write the reply letter.

Writing an address







The very same student will also write a letter of looking for an advice to somebody sitting next to him/her. And in return, he or she will have to write a reply letter to it.

Finally, all students have finished writing both letters to look for an advice and letters of reply to each of the letter (containing a problem or two to solve).
                                       
Seriously involved.....
Fun activity, eh?
    
No single soul produces a sound ....
             

How to write 


The students are to follow guiding questions to write a letter, but they may also improvise when writing their own letter. The guiding questions are as follows:

what happened?
when did it happen?
How it happened/
Why it happened?
Why did you ask for an advice?
etc.


The letters they wrote and their replies

Here are some samples of the letter to look for an advice and their replies. The grammatical errors (or mistakes) have not been corrected yet.

THE ENVELOPES 

Letters are sent in envelopes; no single letters are sent without envelopes to carry them. An envelop does not only wrap a letter in it, but it also provides a place to write down an address of the sender and the receiver on it. We can also put a stamp on it as symbol that we have paid the service of mail service and the postman who will carry our letters to their corresponding destination.
