 Example.

Jokowi was born and raised in Surakarta, a city in the centre of

Java northeast of Yogyakarta. His father was a wood seller who plied his
Orientation/Opening trade in the city’s streets, and throughout much of Jokowi’s childhood he
and his family lived in illegally built shacks near the city’s flood-prone Solo
River. Later, when he entered politics, his populist appeal was rooted in
part to those humble beginnings.

Jokowi applied himself at school and won admittance to Gadjah

Mada University in Yogyakarta, from which he graduated (1985) with a
degree in forestry engineering. For several years he worked for a state-
owned pulp mill in the Aceh region of northern Sumatra, and he later
established his own furniture factory in Surakarta. By 2002 he had become
a highly successful furniture exporter, with showrooms on several
continents, as well as chairman of a local branch of the country’s
Events influential furniture manufacturers’ association.
In 2005 Jokowi, as a member of the Indonesian Democratic Party
of Struggle (Partai Demokrasi Indonesia-Perjuangan; PDI-P), won election
as mayor of Surakarta—the first person to be directly elected to that post.
He was extraordinarily effective in reducing crime and attracting foreign
tourists to the city. His habit of making spontaneous visits to poor
neighbourhoods and his refusal to accept a salary for his public service
contributed to his reputation for humility and honesty.

Reorientation/Closing
In 2014 the PDI-P selected Jokowi to be its candidate for the
Indonesian presidential election, which was held on July 9. He was swept
to victory with more than 53 percent of the popular vote, defeating
former general Prabowo Subianto. Though Subianto alleged that there
had been widespread vote rigging and formally challenged the election
result, the country’s Constitutional Court unanimously rejected his claim
in August, clearing the way for Jokowi to take office on October 20. As
Jokowi entered the presidency, he identified clamping-down on
corruption as among his top priorities and as a necessary step to attract
more foreign direct investment to the country. He also pushed a nine-
point plan for Indonesia that emphasized helping the poor by improving
public services, implementing land reforms, and developing more-
affordable housing, among other measures.

Exercise.

Last Sunday morning I attended a fantastic business discussion in a town hall. In fact, it
was a kind of seminar and the keynote speaker was one of the successful, young Indonesian
entrepreneurs, Reza Nurhilman. Almost one hundred people attended the discussion. No one left
their seats although the seminar had ended. They still wanted to chat and talk with Reza Nurhilman.

At 9 a.m. sharp, the discussion started. First he asked the audience who had ideas to start
business. Many people raised their hand. Second, he asked if they had actualized their ideas. Only
few people raised their hand. Finally, he appraised the people who had started their business and
wished them luck. Meanwhile, he motivated the ones who had not yet actualized their ideas to do
it immediately.

After delivering excellent explanation of the success of a business, the audience had
opportunities to deliver their questions. I participated in this question and answer session. I asked
him how to cope with fear of failure. Still with his cool style, he replied my question by making a
parable which sensitized the audience to be brave and achieve success. The discussion ended with
quote “Let’s achieve our dreams to become a successful business person and be beneficial to many
people.”

finds a resolution.

A narrative text usually consists of orientation (setting the scene and introducing the
characters of the story), complication (showing when the crisis arises), resolution (showing when
the crisis is resolved, for a better or worse condition) and reorientation/coda (it is optional).
