As your teacher, I appreciate your idea to improve your writing skill through this blog. Even the term was over, you are still enthusiastic to post your writings. You made every efforts to improve your English in spite of fact that your English were actually embarrassing for students at your level.
I always said that you were in GE-9! In this level, you had to pay more attention to accuracy. Accuracy, accuracy, and accuracy. Not only fluency. Speaking frankly, your achievement until the final test didn’t make me satisfied. Teaching you made me so hopeless that I had no idea about what to do. You were the worst students I’ve ever taught.
Let me give a brief evaluation on what you had achieved. First, Adhe. You were the most active student, especially on speaking. However, you need to pay more attention to grammar. You were master in memorizing vocabularies. Sometimes you even memorized unimportant words. (Do you want to compile a dictionary?) It made me wonder how you said that you wanted to have more quality time with your daughter, whereas at the same time you wasted your time to memorize vocabularies that you would not use them in real conversation.
Then, Wahyu. You need to avoid bad habit in speaking: mixing English and bahasa Indonesia. (Do you want to replace Jarwo Kwat’s position?). Moreover, you will have kid soon. I know you are a good daddy. Please don’t teach your kid with that confusing language.
Indri. You need to practice your speaking more frequently, no matter how you do it. It will be better if you get married with an English speaking guy so you have long-lasting partner in learning English. And the more important thing, it will be free of charge. You need to pay nothing.
Indah. You rarely took part in speaking activity but you were good in writing. Keep writing, who knows someday you will be a great writer. If it’s necessary, you can leave your recent job and switch it to writing job like journalist, novelist, or typist, as long as not pipist.
And, Joseph. I can conclude nothing about you since you were absent more frequently than present. You were the strangest student: you paid for English course but you didn’t attend the class. What was in your mind when you submitted for the course?
The last, Sholeh. You were the best student. Although you didn’t attend final test, you are allowed to join next level if you want, for free.
Ok, that’s my brief review.
Your (fake) teacher
