Listening for 1st Graders of Junior High School


Opening (Pre-Listening)

Hello guys... how are you today? I hope you're always fine there :)

Today we will learn about descriptive text.
So, what is descriptive text?  Descriptive text is a text which describes something/ someone.
It has a purpose, to describe a particular person, place, or thing.

Then, the generic structure of descriptive text there are:
  • Identification  : identifies phenomenon to be described.
  • Description : describes parts, qualities, characteristics.
 
In the descriptive text, there is language features. Here some language features that usually be used:
    Use of attributive and identifying processes
    Use of simple present tense


Sometimes, we also find Linking Verbs. A linking verb connects a noun or pronoun with words that identify or describe the noun or pronoun.

Many linking verbs are forms of the verb be.

e.g.:

  • I am a student.
  • His paws are strong.
  • The house was on the hill.

Beside to be, there are other linking verbs. 
e.g.:

  • She likes to eat
  • The dog’s barking sounds very noisy.
  • The milk tastes so sweet.

The strength:
1. This article is very good in facilitating the material to the students.
2. There are some exercises to check the understanding of the students.

However,I also find some weaknesses in this article, such as:
1. There are some incorrect grammatical in this article, for example: the sentence "there is language features" actually the correct sentence is "there are language features" and the sentence "This activity is provide some questions" actually sentence is "This activity is provided some questions".
2. The display of the blog is too simple, therefore the visitors of the blog may be not tend to spend their time to read all of the content of the blog.
My suggestion are:

1. it better to the writer to make the blog as interesting as possible, either in the content of the blog or the display of the blog.
2. it better to the writer to check the grammar of the sentence before posts the blog.
