PREFACE

The magnitude of English mastery urgency has made the author

of this book formulating guidelines provided for students. It aims making

learners to comprehend and apply what they have gotten in English class

into their lives.

Consequently, the book is composed to provide enlightenment for

early age English teachers on how English should be taught and how to

understand the children’s development process. These are efforts to

optimize the teaching learning process. This book can be utilized by

teachers who will teach English for elementary school students; parents

who will start teaching English to their children; and parties who will open

non-formal education institution.

The author is aware that this handbook is still far from

perfection and has weakness in some aspects. Therefore, criticism and

suggestion are welcomed for the improvement of this work. This

worksheet, hopefully, would give significant benefit among teachers,

students, as well as people in general who read it.

homework, and then I chill out on the sofa and watch television. On

television I usually watch the News. My wife usually comes to tell me to

take the rubbish out, or wash the dishes. Our children feed the dog and

the cat before they go to bed and I tell them to go to the bathroom too.

If I get sick, I have to take my medication, but then I get into my

pajamas and set the alarm so I wake up in the morning. The last things I

do is lock the door, turn off the lights, and go to bed. It doesn’t take

me long to fall asleep.

• The background is yellow. (Latar belakang dari gambar tersebut

Explaining the shapes

• Trapezoid (trapesium)

• Rhombus (belah ketupat)

• Circle (lingkaran)

• Ellipse (elip, lingkaran lonjong)

 • Pentagon (segi lima)

• On either side (di bagian sisi, kanan atau kiri)

• At the side (di pinggir)

• In the background (latar belakang)

 • In the foreground (latar depan)

• Right-hand top corner (pojok kanan atas)

• Right-hand bottom corner (pojok kanan bawah)

• Left-hand top corner (pojok kiri atas)

• Left-hand bottom corner (pojok kiri bawah)

For examples:

• There are cats on either side of the picture. (Ada beberapa kucing di

bagian sisi gambar.)

• At the top of the picture, there is a blue-colored lamp. (Di bagian atas

gambar ada lampu berwarna biru.)

• At the left side, there is the artist’s signature. (Di bagian kiri terdapat

tanda tangan pembuat gambar.)

 Example of Describing Picture

The main object of the photo is two pink-colored flowers with yellow

pattern on the edge of the petals. On the right-side flower, there is one orange-

winged butterfly. These two flowers and the butterfly are clearly visible because

even though they are located in the flower field, the photographer blurs the

background so that the photo focuses on the two flowers and butterfly. I think

this photo is very beautiful because there are butterfly and flowers that benefit

each other at one time. The photographer wanted to capture the beautiful

interaction between two living things to show other people.
