Reviewing Task

Task Reviewing Tenses

A.   Describe routine

Communication tools are very important for people, included me. Every morning before go to campus, I always checks my phone cell. Also asks my friends or PJMK about the schedule and the task. Because, sometimes we gets an announcement, like free lecture, submit task, changing time of lecture, etc.

Someday my phone cell was off. Because, the night before I forgot to charge it. I have to arrive in class at 7.00 o’clock. So, I hurried very much. I didn’t want to came late. I didn’t see anyone in class. I thought the class move. I looked for in the other rooms, but nothing. I decided to wait. Then, I met my friend from A class. We had same schedule lecture. And you know what? She said to me that today is free. Oh, my God! I was speechless.

Fortunately, I met her. She came to the campus for do the task group. It was bad day. My classmate sent message to me, but my phone cell was off. It was my mistake.

C.   Interesting photographs

1.                 In that picture we can see that Kanye West, the rapper stormed the stage just after the first award, for Best Female Video, was presented to Taylor Swift. He cut the teen singer off, grabbing the microphone and protesting in support of Beyonce. His protest against Swift, however, was not well received. West stood briefly on the stage after his comments as the crowd was silent. Audience members then began to clap in support of Swift after West left the stage. According to reports from inside the house, once cameras cut away from the action, West flipped off the crowd and returned to his seat. During the next commercial break, Pink walked by the rapper and appeared to shake her head in disgust before security escorted her away. That moment is interesting because it is funny moment in American Music Award 2010. I can say that it is unusual moment. It is unforgettable moment for Taylor Swift.

2.                 Tenggarong Bridge, which connects Tenggarong and Tenggarong Seberang in Kutai Kartanegara, suddenly collapsed on November 26. The bridge was established during the tenure of regent Ahmad Maulana Sulaiman’s between 1994 and 1999. Because it collapsed, the accident had happened. The accident claimed at least 5 lives and left 29 injured. The people isn’t going to use that bridge anymore. It is interesting incident, because the bridge collapsed without rain or wind, but because the weakness of construction. It collapsed because the human fault, in other word construction mistake.
