Whats the matter with Beta? ) 4. Reviewing the previous lesson (What did we learn last week? Where did we stop last time? ) 5.

II. Main Activities A. Exploration Task 1 (about 5 minutes) Look at the picture, then answer the questions about it. 1. What picture is it? 2. What do you see in the picture? 3. What is in your mind when you see the picture? 4. Have you had any experience being in the situation shown in the picture? Task 2 (about 5 minutes) You are going to read a text about Traffic Jam in big cities. What information do you expect from the text?

1. ____________________________________________________________________ 2. ___________________________________________________________________ 3. ___________________________________________________________________ 4. ___________________________________________________________________ 5. ____________________________________________________________________

Task 3 (about 5 minutes) Read the text, then check whether you can find the information you expected (in task 2).

(1) In most big cities in the world, traffic has become a serious problem. (2) Traffic jam takes place, especially in rush hours. (3) There are simply too many cars. (4) This brings about some unexpected effects. (5) Traffic in Hongkong can be so bad that a vehicle moves along at only 10 KPH, slower than bicycle speed. (6) In Manila, traffic often stops completely. (7) This generates so much exhaust that Manila is now one of the worlds most polluted cities. (8) In Bangkok, children get up at 4 or 5 AM to make it to school by 9:00. (9) They have breakfast in the car or bus. (10) The number of cars in the world doubled between 1970 and 1990. (11) Currently, there are around 600 million vehicles on roads designed for half that many. (12) The number of cars is expected to double again over the next 20 40 years. (13) More roads are being built, but there is no way there can ever be enough roads to handle all these cars. (14) The wasted fuel from the vehicles causes pollution. (15) The pollution destroys the environment in a number of ways. (16) It also affects personal health. (17) More and more people in large cities suffer from asthma and other breathing disorders than ever before. (18) It is not only humans who suffer. (19) A recent study in Britain repots that birds are losing their hearing because of the traffic noise; as a result, they are unable to sing properly. (20) No one argues that traffic has become a big problem. (21) We need to find a solution to the worlds traffic jams; otherwise, we will still suffer from diseases.

Hal penting yang perlu dilakukan oleh guru pada tahap konfirmsi ini adalah (1) menyatakan bahwa jawaban siswa BENAR atau SALAH, (2) memberi penguatan terhadap alasan (reasoning) yang telah dikemukakan oleh siswa, dan (3) memberi penjelasan tambahan yang dapat memberikan pemahaman siswa lebih lanjut, seperti bagaimana cara menemukan main idea dalam suatu teks atau paragraf, menunjukkan reference dalam suatu teks, dan menjelaskan makna ungkapan dalam teks. Fase ini dapat dilakukan bersamaan dengan Task 2 Fase Elaboration. Setiap suatu exercise atau butir soal dalam suatu exercise selesai dipresentasikan dan dibahas, guru dapat memberi konfirmasi.
