And these are their students :
* Tenille :
            She loves to criticize all of the things around her. And her question will make all of the teachers confuse to answer it!
Tenille : “ I always see many kinds of plants in my house, and why does it  have green leaves ? And why does my cat always  ‘ miauw, miauw…’? Why ? I will ask it to my teacher.

Ms. Lyla          : I’m sorry my dear. The alien doesn’t have the telephone number.                 So, no one knows about it.
Tenille             : Oooh…you lie to me! They have houses. They have telephones!                  They have...UFO! And they’re also actors….
Ms. Lyla          : Ok, Ok! Well, time is up. Now, it’s time to go home!

Ms. Ashley      : Not yet. What happened? You look so sad.
Ms. Lyla          : Well, I had taught them just now.  I think they’re naughty                                       students.  They made me desperate in front of them.  I don’t know        what I have to do.  What should I do?
Ms. Ashley      : Ha…ha…ha….  I think that’s not a problem for me.  I’ll make                    something to make them wary of me….
Ms. Lyla          : All right.  I Hope you can make them better, Good Luck…bye…

Ms. Ashley      : What?? Give it to me!!  Don’t eat in the classroom!  You have to               study here, not eating your candy!! Look at your book!
Tennile            : Ma’am…
Ms. Ashley      : What happen? One thing that all of you have to know, don’t call                 me Ma’am….just call me miss Ashley…understand!!!
Tennile            : Yes, Ma’am…
                           Ooo…. I mean Ms. Asley….
                          Miss, can you tell me, I have read a book.  It said , our earth  rotates  every time.  Is it true? I don’t believe it!
Ms. Ashley      : Don’t ask me about it! Just look at your book!  Now, we are going to talk about kinds of color.  Can you mention what color   that you have known?  Starting from you, Luna!
Luna                : I don’t know miss… I forget!
Ms. Ashley      : How about you, Tenille??
Tennile            : I don’t like to study about this lesson.  You’re vicious!! Not a nice teacher. I don’t like you, you can’t answer my question. Time is up, I want to go home. Bye…
Luna                : Me too… Bye..
Ms. Ashley      : Oh..God! Bad students!
Narrator           : Oh..poor miss Ashley and miss Lyla. Their students are so                           naughty. After teaching them, they realize that to be a teacher is not easy. So, both of them have conclusion.
MISS ASHLEY’S CONCLUSION:
“I HAVE TAUGHT MY STUDENTS. IN FACT, I CAN’T TEACH THEM BETTER THAN MISS LYLA. NOW, I REALIZE THAT I HAVE TO BE A PATIENT AND ALSO AN INTELLIGENT PERSON BEFORE BEING A TEACHER. I’LL STUDY MORE ABOUT IT. ONCE MORE, I WILL NOT BE A VICIOUS TEACHER ANYMORE”.
MISS LYLA’S CONCLUSION:
“AFTER TEACHING MY LOVELY STUDENT I REALIZE THAT TO BE A GOOD TEACHER, I DON’T JUST NEED TO BE AN INTELLIGENT PERSON, BUT ALSO PATIENT PERSON. I HAVE TO HAVE A RESOLUTE STEP TO TEACH THEM. I’LL STUDY MORE ABOUT IT EVERY TIME. I’LL NEVER FORGET TO BE A FASHIONABLE TEACHER TOO. BE CONFIDENCE AND START TO BE A NICE TEACHER.
 
writer note:
Ini sebenarnya tugas mata kuliah Literature waktu saya semester 1 di jurusan S1 Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris. Lumayan lah, grammarnya udah beneran dikit (cuma pake present tense yang pada saat itu sudah mulai ku kuasai, hehe).  Ceritanya saya ambil dari pengalaman terdekat saya dan teman-teman, yakni antara guru dan siswa.

The Jaje Laklak Seller


          My name is Luhde. I’m from Padangan village. I will tell you about my 'occupation'. But, before I continue it, I would like to know your knowledge about Balinese foods. What Balinese food do you like best? Do you know what is the most delicious food in Bali? And do you know a kind of Balinese food which has circle shape and very soft? Ok, I give you a clue; it’s always served with sweet sugar and scraped coconut on it. Do you still confuse? No No No! You are wrong!/ Yes, You are right! The most delicious Balinese food is called “jaje Laklak”. And I’m a traditional Jaje Laklak seller!!!

            Actually, I do not only sell Jaje Laklak, but I also make it by myself. Maybe not all of you know how to make this food. Today, I’m very happy, so I will tell you how to make the best Jaje Laklak in the world!!!
            Ok, first you have to know that my jaje laklak is made from a high quality wheat flour, sweet sugar, and delicious salt. Well, to make this food, I need a bowl, a spoon, and some water. I pour the flour into the bowl. I add some sugar and a little salt. Next, I add some water in it. After that, I stir them into a nice batter. Next step is light the stove. Because there is no stove, imagine that this chair is a stove! Then I put this thing on the stove. This  is The Jaje Laklak mold. It’s made from clay. This is the most important thing in the way to make Jaje Laklak and very important too for me because I got it from my mom, my mom got it from my grandmom, and my grandmom got it from my great grandmom!! Ok, forget it! Let’s continue to the next step! Next, I pour the batter on the mold. After five or seven minutes, The Jaje Laklak is ready to be served.
            Well, I will continue to the next step. It is how to serve the Jaje Laklak. To serve the Jaje Laklak to my costumers, I need banana leaf, “semat”, scraped coconut, and special palm sugar called “Gula Ganting”. I take a banana leaf, then I put some Jaje Laklak on it. After that, I spread some scraped coconut and Gula Ganting on it. I wrap up it like this and use “semat” to keep the Jaje Laklak and all the contents stay in. Finally, I smile to my customers and give the best Jaje Laklak for them.
            Ok, that’s my explanation about my occupation, if you want to try my Jaje Laklak, just call me at 081916281143. A pack of  Jaje Laklak costs Rp.2000,00. Thank You.

writer note:
This is my first writing that use English when I was in university. I think it's little bit strange. At that time, my English was not quite good  XD . Pada saat itu, tugas dari dosen saya adalah menuliskan deskripsi jika saya menjadi seseorang dengan profesi yang tidak biasa. Nah, entah kenapa kemudian penjual kue tradisional yang sering berjualan di kampung saya itu menginspirasi saya untuk menulis tulisan ini. Hasil tulisannya...hmmm.... sangat diluar dugaan.  Luar biasa. Dan...mata saya sampai berkaca-kaca. Saya REMIDI. Jelas lah, grammar-nya sungsang gitu...kekeke~ XD
