Biography
 LET’s BEGIN NOW

WHY I CHOOSE BIOGRAPHY

1. It’s because reading texts of Biography sometimes inspire us and give us moral lessons, how to reach something
and how to be succeed, and the process of being there itself is valuable.
2. Sometimes use biography text to be discussed in reading class make the students interest, usually I use popular
person that is now viral or my student favorite idol.
 EXPERIENCE

1. In my experience, it will be a little difficult for the students to write the sentences (especially for kids who dislike
writing and have narrow background of English), but it is good practice for them at least to write something, not in a
long essay, but short ones. Even filling the simple outline is an achievement for them.
2. A good way to think about the main idea is that it is one sentence that expresses the kid’s opinion of the person. It is
what he/she wants everyone to know or think about that person. For example, our student might want everyone to
know that his grandfather was an honest, hard-working person who, in spite of many hardships, made a good life for
himself and his family.
What is a biography text?

just the basic facts like education, work, relationships, and death;
it potrays a person’s experience of these life events. And may
include an analysis of the subject’s personality.

achievements in a persons life.

the profile but someone else that knows the profile’s life.

presented.
