  2. Read the information on my page here

So, that's some explanation about short message. I think you are familiar with that. When we cannot meet each other face to face, we can send messages through many platforms we have, such as WhatsApp, SMS, Direct Message, Inbox or else.

Are you familiar with these abbreviations? Sometimes we use them in our message, right?

 Short message is a functional text. We can learn more about its purpose from this picture.


Briefly, there are three parts of a short message:
  1. receiver 
  2. content
  3. sender
Now, please take your note and do this vocabulary search. You will find the words on the exercise later. Write them down on your book. 
Now, it's time for you to do the exercise. You have enough time, so do it carefully. Don't rush. 
You can do it here or  CLICK HERE 

Wish you all the best. See you soon.

After watching the video, now try to answer these questions:
You can ask me through the group if you have any difficulties.

  1. When did Iren go to Magelang?
  2. What did Iren do in Punthuk Kendil?
  3. Where did Iren go after visiting Borobudur?
  4. How was the scenery of Telomoyo Mountain?
  5. How was the writer's opinion about the trip?
Some of you can share your answers in our group.

The video is an example of recount.
  • The dialog uses past tense. "we came to Punthuk Kendil; I took a lot of pictures; we visited Telomoyo Mountain."
  • The dialog use specific signal words. They show the events in chronological time.  "First, we came to....; Then, we visited....; After that, we went to ...." 
Well, I think you still remember parts of recount text, don't you?
  1. orientation
  2. sequences of events
  3. reorientation
Now, it's time for exercise.
Have fun. I hope you can do it well.
