Student Assignment

By Suparlan *)

No teacher no education, no education no social economic development
(Ho Chi Mien, Vietnamese Education Father))

Actually, my background of subject matter is not English Language. But, I love English very much since I was a student of Junior Secondary School. When I was a teacher, I took a distance English course for a year. Alhamdulillah, then I got an interesting program to take my master degree in the UH (University of Houston), Texas. So, now English is a part of my life, especially in using a foreign language. After retired, then I became a lecturer in Tama University, Jagakarsa, South Jakarta, in English Education program of study, Faculty of Training Teacher and Education. In this private university, I have to teach three subject matter, Writing, English Lesson Plan, and Curriculum and Learning Materials Development.

In first meeting of Writing I in this university, I used this lecture to give writing assignment to the student. I give them Personal Introduction or Biography writing. Every student must write their own biography at the end of the lecture. I give them outline for this assignment. I explained that the best writing in this assignment will be put in my website. I explained that website is the best media of studying English.

Here are the two best writing assignments from two classes. The first best writing is writing assignment from Yadi Cahyadi (morning class) and from Endang Gayatri (evening class).

On a day, in a village in Province of West Java, thirty three years ago, I was born. Exactly, the village is located in a District of Kuningan. In October 31st, in a day of Sunday, my father has given the name of the baby is Cahyadi. The baby is me.

As a baby, I grew up to be a child. When I was six years old, I started to go to Elementary School in the village. I studied in my Elementary School along six years. After finished my Elementary School, then I was continued to Junior Secondary School located in another district. I had to walk to the school, because there weren’t transportation at that time. After finished the Junior Secondary School along three years, the I went to Senior High School located in another city until I graduated from the school.

Now I live in Depok. I have family with the two children. I am working and also studying in the University of Tama Jagakarsa, South Jakarta. I took program of study in English Education.  Some day, I want to be an effective teacher in English subject matter.

Here is my short biography. By reading this biography, I hope that I can give the spirit to other people to go to higher education like me, especially to my lovely children.
