and supports it with statements and evidence so that it is convincing. To make the persuasion
stronger, the speaker or writer provides arguments which build the fundamental reasons why
something should be done. The structure of a hortatory exposition text is formed from three
elements: thesis, arguments, and recommendation. In this unit, you will learn about a hortatory

Read The texk below and mention Analisa Generic

Being on time is a beautiful social ethic and one of great importance, as it creates efficiency in system and
implies respect for one another. However, it is one the many values that is not easy for our students to learn.

Inner discipline, one that comes from an understanding of the set rules and regulation, is the highest form
behavior. Most excellent schools try to instill this with a loving environment. Why, even adults arrive late to
meeting, work, et c. Here, we do not agree that late comers should be shut out. They can be given warnings,
most of which are enough to make them try their best to reach the school on time latter. If this fails, invite the
parent to school.

By closing the gates, the school is behaving cruelly, to which we prefer not to expose our children. Every
school has responsibility to implant good educational principle, but it should be in appropriate ways. Good
schools create competitive students who can organize themselves effectively in society, so that everyone gets
a quality life as a result of the ethics and values learned for as long as 12 years.

Children are precious and dependent on the adult for guidance. Understanding them is the key, and to this
end, both parents and schools must work hand in hand without playing the blame game.

1. What should the school do if a student can’t stop his/her habit to come late to school?

A. Punish him/her

B. Shut him/her out

C. Fail him/her

D. Talk to his/her parents

E. Try to understand him/her

2. What does the writer think to be “the highest from of behaviour” (in the second paragraph)?

A. Respect for one another

B. Not being late to school

C. Understanding the regulations

D. Understanding the rules

E. Inner discipline

3.”Children are precious and dependent on the adults for guidance.” The word “precious” is closest in meaning
to ….

A. Valuable

B. Excellent

C. Clever

D. Innocent

E. Naive

In the right column, write T for correct, and F for incorrect statements.

Grammar focus
Adverb

Modal adverb is an adverb that qualifies a predicate with respect to way in which it is true.
Modal adverbs also add additional meaning to modal verbs.

Example:

1. That controversial book surely won’t gain any profit.

2. Undoubtedly, the huge number of protests has had an effect on

support for the launching of the book.

3. It is plainly raining too hard today for the match to go on.

4. Fortunately, the match can easily be postponed until next Saturday

In the first sentence, the adverb surely modifies the verb will not or won’t. In the second sentence,
undoubtedly at the beginning of the sentence actually modifies has had, which appears later. In the third
sentence, verb phrase is raining, and the modal adverb plainly adds emphasis.

In the fourth sentence, the entire verb phrase is can be postponed, and there are two adverbs: fortunately
and easily.

Write three sentences using modal adverbs.

Answer:

1. ________________________________________________________________________________

2. ________________________________________________________________________________

3. _______________________________________________________________________________
Decide whether the sentence contains modal advebs by putting a tick (√) in the right
column

Temporal Connectives or Time Connectives

In a hortatory exposition text, we use temporal connectives or time connectives. Time connectives
are words or phrases which are used to tell readers when something is happening. The readers join
phrases or sentences together to help us understand when something is happening. Examples of
time connectives are: before, after, next, just then, shortly, afterwards, last, eventually, firstly,
secondly, and thirdly.

Example
So, how does one build a sensible nutrition plan then?

The sentence contains a time connective then.

Write three sentences using time connectives.

Answer:

1. ________________________________________________________________________________

2. ________________________________________________________________________________

3. _______________________________________________________________________________

EVALUASI ASSESSMENT FORMATIF

Boarding School Education

There are many arguments in favor of a boarding school education. Nevertheless, the boarding school is not
always the best education institution for everyone. At an early age interacting and communicating with people
is very important for a child’s personal life and can be especially helpful for his/her future. In a boarding
school, shy children can take advantage of interaction through communal activities. The boarding school also
offers a great variety of activities such as arts, sports, and music that allow children to demonstrate and
develop specialized skills in their free time. Furthermore, the structured way of life and strict rules at the
boarding school may helps students to get used to a well ordered way of life. The manners and social skills will
help them to become more responsible and confident, and to develop their talents in leadership.
Professionally trained teachers and educators in the boarding school can offer excellent education without
the parents’ constant supervision.

In spite of these good points, it is not advisable to send a child to a boarding school if he/she is a dependent
learner. A boarding school usually demands that student learn independently. In addition, the boarding school
should not be seen as a measure to solve inappropriate behavior or unsatisfactory study performance.
Instead of improving, problematic children may close off their relationship with their peers and teachers. In
conclusion although a boarding school may provide good education to many children, it is not recommended
for those who are strongly attached to their families. They may become frustrated and socially isolated.

1. According to the writer, children in a boarding school can develop specialized skills in…

A. Entrepreneurship

B. Community service

C. Reading

D. Drama

E. Music

2. Why do parents send their children to boarding school? Because…

A. It is good for shy children

B. It gives good education for adults

C. Interacting and communicating with people is very important

D. It does not allow children demonstrate excellence and develop their skills

E. It is safe and makes children become responsible and develop talents in leadership

3. From the text, we can conclude that…

A. The boarding school can be very expensive

B. There are good and bad boarding schools

C. The boarding school is the solution to our educational problems

D. It’s not necessary to send children to a boarding school because the students can live independently

E. Not everyone thinks that the boarding school is the best educational institution for children

Skateboarding

Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for skateboarders to skate. This prevents
young people from enjoying an active, energetic and adventurous pastime. Just watch a local street for a
short while and note the steady stream of skaters speeding up and down the footpaths. Toddlers can be
trampled on and old ladies can be knocked down as they struggle home carrying their cat food from
supermarkets. Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young people’s health. It increases fitness,
improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and ankles. Although it appears to be a solo sport, when
groups practice together and compete to perform stunts or runs they form firm friendships. Young people
should be prevented from becoming overweight couch potatoes. If they are actively involved in skating, they
do not smoke, take drugs or break laws for fun.

Kids will always seek thrills and excitement. They need to practice their 180s, 360s and Ollie’s free from
restrictions. We must build skate parks in the suburbs so that streets are safe for small children and senior
citizens and skaters have spaces where they can race, chase, speed, and soar towards the sun.
4. Where do the kids usually ride their skateboard?

A. In the main roads and foot paths

B. In front of the supermarket

C. In front of their home

D. In the suburbs

E. In the park

5. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?

A. There is no safe place for skateboarders

B. Kids seek an excitement in skate

C. The goodness of skateboarding

D. The skateboarding is a serious sport

E. How to prevent overweight by skateboarding

6. The writer’s purpose in writing the text is ….

A. To invite the local teenagers to skate in a park built specifically for skaters

B. To convince the readers that they need a safe place for skaters to skate

C. To provoke youngsters into the local government policy

D. To promote the writer’s business of skateboarding class

E. To inform parents about the goodness of skateboarding

7. What must we do to let the skaters play?

A. Join with them anywhere

B. Give them space in the park

C. Let them play in the main roads

D. Let them play in the local street

E. Build a skate park in the suburbs

8. They need to practice their 180s, 360s and Ollie’s free from restrictions. (Paragraph 5) The synonym of the
word “restrictions” is …

A. Approval

B. Allowance

C. Improvement

D. Prevention

E. Limitations

Space Travel

Firstly, it is totally unsafe as proven by the Colombia Space Shuttle disaster. Thousand people have been killed
in accidents.

this summer in Cobar.
