TAKING AN ENGLISH COURSE

Let me introduce myself. My name is DAYU. I am a student of SMPN 1

Raha. I am at the eighth grade now. I live in Watonea. I have two brothers and two
sisters. My father is a civil servant and my mother is a nurse. I love them very
much.
I used to get difficulty in learning English. My English marks were very
poor. Whatever my teacher explained about English materials, I did not
understand. Therefore, when English subject came, I just sat silently on my chair
and sometimes I got sleepy to hear my teacher’s explanation.
One day one of my friends asked me to take English course with him. At
first I refused his request because I felt I would not be able to know English. Many
times my friend asked me to join the course and finally I changed my mind.
The location of the English course is far enough from my house. It is around
2 Km. I usually go there by “ojek”. I just pay 5 thousand rupiahs for a trip. The
name of the English course is KHARISMA English course. The course is big
enough with many students from elementary schools, junior high schools and
senior high schools. The course has some teachers. They are kind and friendly with
us. We like them. The class rooms are large enough with some pictures on the wall
including whiteboard, chairs and tables as well.
I really enjoy studying English there. I don’t feel afraid to make some
mistakes. We are given freedom to express out our potency in learning even
though they knew we made mistakes. There are some reasons why I including
other students am willing to take English course at KHARISMA.
Firstly, the teachers are friendly to us. They welcome us with sweet and
bright smile, guide us with no despair, teach us patiently and seriously, and show
our mistakes in polite way without judging us as the stupid students.
 Secondly, they have various attractive techniques of teaching English that
make us convenient for learning English both indoor and outdoor. We are not
sometimes aware of time while we are taught by the teachers. We feel the time
pass quickly. Moreover, we can understand easily and fast. They commonly teach
us based on our English ability. First of all, they mapped our initial capability and
then they look for the appropriate method of teaching for us. We like the ways of
their teaching so much.
Thirdly, there is special event held in the course namely visiting the certain
places such as beach, forest or other interesting places. There we practice our
English. We speak to one another in English and also eat and play together. It is so
memorable.
Fourthly, I meet many friends there from different schools. I can make
friends with them. We help each other if one of us has a problem in learning
English or faces other problems.
The last, the teachers sometimes registered us to join the English
competition held by an organization. This way can make us braver and more self-
confident to face and stand in front of the audiences.
Those are the reasons why I like to take English course at KHARISMA
English Course Watonea. Thank you very much.
