My Second Journal

                In this journal I want to tell you about my experience about write a autobiography.  Our lecturer told us to make a autobiography. I have learned about it when I was in Senior High School but I have never done it in English. It challenged me and I was so excited to writing about my self.
First, we have to made a story about our self include physical appearance and personality. I didn’t know what should I write there, so it took few days to finished it. Then I gave it to my lecturer and got many red marks on my write. From that revision, I learned about the important of panctual in writing and got new vocabulary. The next assigment was made story about family and friends. It was easy to write about my family, but again I got stucked when wrote about my friends. So it was ended up with long story about my family and a very short story about my friends. What I have learned about this assigment is I have to put an attention for my grammar especially in past tenses and the storyline. Last, we have to write about an important event in my life. It was the most difficult assigment for me. I had a very usual life. There is no very important event that can make me change a lot. I was confused about the story so I can’t organize my story well. But after I got a revision from my lecturer and read other story of my friends I learned about how to make a good story And it is also important to give a line spacing so my story can be easily read by others.
 

I have been in writing class for around 1 and half month, I think my writing skill is improve a little. My lecturer always gives me feed back so I can identified my faults. But still, I have to pay more attention in my grammar and use more difficult vocabulary to make a good sentences. And I have to pay attention in arrange my storyline so I can make a good story so my story will be easy to read by others. And as I told you before I feel unconfident if my story read by other people so I think I have to be more confident from now becase nobody is perfect. People sometimes makes fault. So I don’t have to afraid to make a mistake.
     My writing class give me benefit to me, I can use what I have learned in other context. It helps me doing my reading task. In my reading class we have told to make a summary about news and make a reflexion about it. So it was easy to me to made a summary since I have taught about how to make a good sentences and make a good story line in writing class. It also help me when I do my structure test. I have to make a story in a good grammar so it make me more understant about the grammar and how to use it.
     It is almost midterm test and it makes me very nervous. I have to study hard if I want get good score. I think I have to read more article in English so my get more vocabulary and also more understand about grammar. I hope I will get a good score so I can make my self proud and all of my effort not useless.

An Important Moment In My Life

 
     I was born in Bali at 19th March 1997, on St. Joseph's day. Thats why my first name is Yosepha. I spent my childhood in Flores and had a happy normal childhood. When I was 10 years old my dad taught me how to play badminton. We had a badminton court behind our house. So in his spare time my father would tell me to learn play badminton together. One year later, he hired a coach to train me and my brother. I have trained for 2 years when I joined a badminton competition in Kupang, capital city of NTT. The competition name is  "O2SN 2010". I won the second place, it made me so happy and proud because I though I would never won a competition. After joined the competition, I didn't stop the training until I moved to Surabaya.
     I had a little dilema when I was in 9th grade. I was confused about where I should continue my study, to Surabaya or in Flores. After months I being stucked in my dilema, I decided to study in Surabaya. But, I was afraid how if I couldn't understand the lesson and got a bad score. So I studied hard and I got a very good score for my national exam score. It made confident to study in Surabaya.
     I graduated from Senior High School in 2015, and my father keep told me to take english as my major. I didn't want to be a teacher because I wanted to take tourism in Petra. But, as I said before my father is a strict person. I have to obey his will. So, I decided to continue my study in Widya Mandala University and I take English as my major as m. At first, I didn't like my decision. I thought my life will be more difficult, but until now I still have no difficulty beside the number of assigments. But as the time flies, I know that my father was right. I have so many friends and good lecturers that make me comfortable to study. Being a collage student is not easy as many people said. I have to study independently and be more responsible.
   I have passed many events to be my self now. There was joyful or sadness moments but I believe that all happened because of God's plans and always be grateful of that.

My Second Family



   I have best friends in my senior high school, we made a group name "Call Us Freedom" in Line. It because at that time we just passed our national exam or UNAS. Our group consist of ten people, five girls and five boys. We have had many unforgettable moments. We always watch film together at cinema and after that hang out together. It happens until now even some of them can't go with us because we study in different university.
   One month ago, after had watched a film in cinema as usual we hung out together. Suddenly one of my friends asked us about go vacation together. I was surprise that all of them agree to go vacation together. And then we choosed Bali as our destination. My male friends said they want to see female tourists to refresh their eyes. We have looked for plane tickets, hotel, accomodation, and tourist destinations. I hope God will bless our plan so we can go in June.

   

My Family



     Hello readers, today I want to tell you about my family. Most of my family live in Ruteng, the small city at foot of a high mountain range in Manggarai, Flores.

      My father and my mother have an unique love story, they are cousins. Surprisingly  they fell in love and got married in September 1987.  My father is a business man and my mother is a house wife. My father is tall and has a athletic body. His hobbies are playing badminton and taking care of chickens, dove, and dogs. He is a badminton athlete and has won many badminton competitions in my hometown. But my father is a very distinct person. He always tells us to do something and we can’t resist his will. My father also is a talkactive person. He usually spents 2-3 hour just to talk to someone until my mother stops him.
My mom

   My mother is a good housewife who loves to sleep. My Mom is short, about 155cm and slim. She is beautiful and looks very young eventhough she already 50 years old. She is fashionable and she loves to shopping. However, my mom is a multitalented person. She has a beautiful voice, but this talent isn’t bequeathed to her children. My sibling and I have no talent in singing. She is a good guitar and a piano player, and also a good badminton player.Many people said that we are badminton family.

My sister
     I’m the third child in my family. I have one big sister and one big brother. My sister’s name is Karina. She is the first child in my family. She is independent  and always give us advice. Sometimes I gets annoyed about it, but I know that is for my own sake. My sister got married 2 years ago and have had 1 daughter. Her daughter, my niece, is so cute. She is slanted eyes and has a chubby body. She like to sleep and it is difficult if we want to wake her up. And my brother, just like other brother, he is so nosy to me. He always disturbs me whether I’m studying, watching movie, eating, and even when I’m sleeping. But eventhough he is nosy, he always cares about me. 
     Maybe my family isn't perfect. We fight, we argue, or get annoyed each other. Even stop talking to each other at times.  But in the end, family is family and I always be grateful to have them as my family. 

It's About Me

     My name is Tyta and I was born in Bali, 19th March 1997. I'm from Flores and I have lived in Surabaya for 4 years.
When I was in Senior High School
     I have white skin, because my parents are Chinese. I have an oval face with black slit eyes and small nose like many chinese have. I have long straight hair. It was black, but since I dyed it last year it become brown. I'm quite short, my height  are 158 cm and I think its because my mom's genes are more dominant than my father. But I have a chubby body, the genes from my father.
     I used to wear glasses when I was in Junior High School because I am farsighted. But since I was in Senior High School, I started to wear softlense. It can give color on my eyes and  makes it more bigger. I like to wear a blouse and trousers or jeans if I go to campus. On the other side, if I hang out with my friends or family I like to wear T-shirt and shorts.
     How about my personality? I'm a trustworthy person, but I can't trust peole easily and just tell my secret to person I trust. I always put an effort for my work and I work hard to reach my goal. I will very dissapointed if I fail. I also an easy going person. I don't like to get in troble with people because I know I'm the one that would apologize first even thought that wasn't my fault.
