Observing & Asking Questions
What are you carrying?
They are toy cars. I collected them
when I was in elementary school.
I do not collect toy cars now. I’m
going to give them to Ucok, my
younger cousin.
Yes, I did. But I did not do
it very well. I always lost
the game.
Hey, look! They are playing marbles. It
was my favorite game in primary school.
I played marbles every day. But now
I never play marbles anymore. I have
so many things to do at home and at
school. Did you play marbles too?
You did not like Math
in primary school?
No, I did not like Math because
the teacher did not explain it
clearly. But now it is my favourite
subject because Mr. Sihombing
explains it clearly.

KELAS VIII SMP/ MTs
Observing & Asking Questions
Is Edo here?
No. He is sick. He caught the
flu yesterday. He walked home
when it was raining hard.
Are you going to eat
your lunch now?
No! It is my breakfast. I did not have
breakfast before I went to school this
morning. I woke up at six because I
went to bed very late last night. I did
my homework until ten.
You know I usually come on time to school.
But this morning I got a flat tire. Then I
walked with my bike here. I got here at six
fifty, and the gate was already closed. So here
we are, not attending the flag ceremony.

speakers’ statements about themselves in
the past and at present.
Here are what we will do.
First

the examples carefully.

the example to our notebook.
Then
, we
will discuss in groups the statements about
themselves in the past and handwrite them in
the second column and the statements about
themselves in the present and handwrite them
in the third column.
We will use a dictionary. We will spell the words and use the
punctuation marks correctly. When we are writing, we will
say the sentences loudly, clearly, and correctly. If we have any
problems, we will go to our teacher for help.

Day 1
When I
was
a baby, when I
could
not do
anything, my parents and
my elder brother
took
care of me.
My brother is five years older than
me. I
didn’t sleep
with my mum.
I
slept
in a baby cot in my parents
bedroom. My brother
slept
in his
own room. My mum
breastfed
me
for two years.
Day 3
I
started
my kindergarten when
I
was
five years old. I
did
my
kindergarten for two years, one
year in Kindy A and one year in
Kindy B. My kindy
was
near my
home. I
walked
to my kindy with
my mum or my brother. Sometimes
I
went
with my dad on his
motorcycle.
Day 2
When I
cried
, they
calmed
me
down. When I
was
afraid of
something, they
comforted
me.
My dad often
carried
me around in
the morning sun. When I
got
older,
they
spoonfed
me. I
played
with
my brother. I
was
naughty, but he
never
got
angry with me. He
was
very patient with me.
Day 4
In the classroom, my teacher
read
us stories. We
sang
happy songs,
we
coloured
pictures, and we
played
with dough and colorful
paper. In the playground, we
played
sliding, we
ran
around, and
we also
played
hide-and-seek.

Day 5
I
started
my primary school when
I
was
seven years old and
finished
when I
was
twelve. I also
walked
to school, because my school
was
only 200 meters from my home.
I
went
to school with my brother
or with my friends. Sometimes
my dad
took
me to school on his
motorcycle. Sometimes I
walked
to
school by myself.
Day 7
I have many sweet memories in my
primary school. My friends and I
often
helped
Pak Min, the janitor,
because he
had
so much work to
do. We
felt
happy when we
could
help
him. My Physical Education
(PE) teacher, Mr. Laode, often
took
us to walk around the hills and
along the river near our school. We
took
a rest under the trees when
we
were
tired
.
Day 6
I
learned
many new things in
primary school. I
learned to write
and
to read
in Grade 1 and Grade
2. My favourite teacher
was
Mrs.
Ningrum. She was very smart. She
taught
us traditional dances and
songs. She also
taught
us to plant
trees and take care of the garden.
One day she
took
us to the local
library to borrow books.
Day 8
I
learned to ride
on a bicycle in the
school yard in the afternoon after
school. And then I
could ride
in the
small streets in the neighbourhood,
with my friends. My friends and I
often
spent
hours chatting in the
small green yard near the Kelurahan
office. The boys
climbed
the big
trees. We also
swam
in the river. It
was
still very clean at that time. It
is
very dirty now.

Day 9
Now, here I
am
in this SMP. Last
year I
was
in Grade VII, and now
I am in Grade VIII. This school is
two kilometers from my home. I
learned
many new things in Grade
VII. It
was
my first time to go to
school on my bike. I
met
boys and
girls from different parts of this
town. I
was
very happy when I first
wore
my blue-and-white uniform.
Day 11
We
have
no helper, so my mum, my
dad, my sister, and I
do
the chores
ourselves. We
make
the bed. We
wash
and
iron
our clothes. We also
dust
the furniture. We
sweep
and
mop
the floor every day. I often
go
to the shop
to buy
sugar, soap, oil,
salt, rice, vegetables, fruits, and so
on.
Day 10
Last year
was
my first time to learn
English. I
learned to greet
other
people in English,
to introduce
myself in English, and
to ask
and
answer
questions in English. We
also
learned to describe
our
family, our friends, and our school
in English. I
sang
my first English
song. I also
read
my first English
story.
Day 12
In the past only my mum
cooked
for us. Now, my brother and I often
cook
for the family. We
fry
eggs
and make fried rice or noodles.
When I
lost
something, everybody
else
found
it for me. Now, when I
lose
something,
I
find
it myself.
