Each person has a great partner for sure in their life such as friend, wife/husband, or

Mr Dedi is tall and quite chubby. He is also manly. He has short, curly and black
hair. He has brown skin. He has a pointed nose. His eyes are big and coloring black. He

Mr. Dedi is smart and humble person. He is very patient and friendly. He always
helps and supports me when I have a problem. He is a brave person. He always comes
up with a good opinion when there is a meeting at school. His ideas are great to
implement. Many teachers in our school like him. I and him usually collaborate in
making learning tools and also share knowledge to find good strategies for teaching in
class. He always has brilliant ideas.
He is a diligent teacher. He never comes late when going to school. He often gets a
reward from Headmaster as the best and favorite teacher in our school. So, that’s why I
like him very much. Sometimes I think I want to be like him. Be someone who has good

 2. Write a description of one of the tourism places in your region that you like best.
And describe the place as interestingly as possible in order to attract the local
visitors to come.
Tirta Gangga Lake

Tirta Gangga Lake is one of the most favorite tourism places in Seputih Banyak, Central
lampung. It sounds unfamiliar for either local or foreign tourists. But it is an interesting tourism
place. It is located in Swastika Buana Village (SB 13) Seputih Banyak District, Central Lampung
Regency. The distance is about 60 kilometers from Gunung Sugih. If it is from Bandar Lampung
City to Tirta Gangga Lake, the distance is about 100 km with a travel time of approximately three
hours. Tirta Gangga is the only lake in Sb 13.
Tirta Gangga Lake has an area of about 200 hectares and is used by the residents for
irrigating 3000 hectares of agricultural land around the area. It is also located in a settlement of
Balinese descent so that the aura of Hindu culture is very thick. This lake is visited by local
residents to enjoy the natural panorama of the lake, and as a means of entertainment. The lake is
very suitable as a picnic location with friends or to spend the afternoon for fishing. The green
nature around the lake makes the eyes refreshed and feels the freshness of the air which is still
original classified.
Beside the beautiful panorama with Exotic Sunset scene in the afternoon, Tirta Gangga
Lake Central Lampung also has an interesting cultural value to research. The Bima statue and also
the existence of an iconic temple in the middle of the lake are both beautiful and meaningful
objects. Both of these are located in the middle so, like a small island. The wide expanse of water
and shady trees around it add to the coolness of the charming Tirta Gangga Lake. The condition of
this lake is more than 50% filled with water hyacinth plants, so that when viewed from a distance it
looks like a savanna or grassland. When visitors come to this tourist spot, they will see a nice view.
Apart from being a tourist spot, this lake is also usually used as a fishing spot. Around this place
there is also a children's play area so not only adults can enjoy the beauty of this tourist spot but
also children. The most appropriate time to take pictures is in the afternoon after 16.00 WIB
because at that time visitors can see a beautiful sunset view.

Create a resume as a learning conclusion from this module.

From this module I can give summary/conclusion as follows:

English for social communication consists of two kinds of text namely Descriptive and Report.
Generally they have the same purpose that is to give information or to describe something. But,
in report text the object that will be described is in general not specific and also need to analyze
first.

LEARNING ACTIVITY 1 & 2 : EXPLORING DESCRIPTIVE TEXT

A. Descriptive text:
Describes particular things, animals, persons, or others, for instance: pets or persons we
know well (Gerot and Wignell, 1994 in Anggun, 2016) appeals to the senses, tells how
something looks, feels, smells, tastes, and/ or sounds; something like a word picture enabling
readers to imagine the described objects, places, or persons. is used to show, report, describe, and
present information.

C. Types of Descriptive Text

1.Describing People
2.Describing Animal

4.Describing Things

D. Generic Structure
A descriptive text is made up of identification or general statement and description element.
Identification introduces and identifies specific objects (a person, thing, place, animal or event)
intended to be described. Description describes the intended objects using descriptive details or
information about the objects’ characteristics, appearances, personality, habits or qualities.

E. Significant Lexico-grammatical Features

The features of a descriptive text are:
• focusing on a specific object
• generally using Present Tense
• using linking verbs and verbs to classify things and describe appearances,
characteristics, parts, and functions
• frequently using pre-and post-modified noun phrases;
• using adjectives and adverbs to add information to nouns and verbs in the provision of
detailed information
• using adverbial phrases of manner, place, or time
• using words explaining characteristics or features (size, shape, location, colour,etc)
• using details to visualize the topic
 • providing examples (using the phrases for instance, such as, to illustrate, or to
demonstrate)
• using the topic word or the topic-synonymous word repeatedly.

result of an investigation or announce something to the proper authorities. The information

phenomena in our environment.
