▪ Understand the information in personal letters
▪ Answer the questions according to personal letters

▪ Make a replay for personal letters
Students, have you written a letter before? Why did you write the letter? There are many reasons to
write letters. Writing letters allows us to keep in touch with people we love, and it means so much when
they send something in return. Nowadays, people can easily communicate and send messages
through their cell phone. It is very simple and quick, isn’t it? However, sending letters has different
meaning for some reasons. Handwritten letters often expressing strong feelings between the sender
and the receiver. It also let us take our time in understanding the whole message and think about the
responses.
In this chapter, we are going to learn about how to write personal letters, its structure, and how
we process the message to make a reply. First of all, let’s thank God for the chance to learn English
today and pray for His guidance so that we can learn the materials well. All right, let’s begin the lesson
now!

Dear Ashley,
Thank you for your letter. It’s always a pleasure to receive your letters.
You asked me how I spent the summer. Well, it was not the best summer of my life.
First, I caught a cold and was sick for two weeks. Because of this could not go to youth
camp and I spent a month in a stuffy city.
Then the weather turned bad again and I had to stay home. Only in June, I managed
to go hiking with friends. We had a lot of fun and sang songs around the campfire.
How is your new cat? Did it get used to you? What do you feed it?
Well, I’ve got to finish. It’s now 11.00 pm, it’s time to sleep.
Much love,

It’s a great pleasure to receive a letter from you. I’m sorry I haven’t written for a long
time, I was busy with preparation for exams.
You know, I can’t say that I have some definite duties but I try to help my parents as

Dear Rosiana,
I hope you are in the best health and spirits. I am doing fine here. It has been a while since we
met or wrote letters to each other. So I thought of writing a few lines to check your condition. I just
got back from my vacation to Riau and had a superb time. I went to Bono River and Jemur Island.
They were amazing places. If you want to visit this beautiful province do let me know and I will give
you tips on sight-seeing, transportation, shopping, etc.
I want to say something that is making me worried these days. My mother has been sick and I
am really worried her. Sometimes, I have bad dreams about her and my brother wakes me up in
the middle of the night. I am sure you know what bad dreams I am talking about. Please don't tell
anybody about this and I know you can be trusted.
Anyways, how is your school? I heard you got the first place in debate competition in Jakarta.
Congratulations for this achievement. You must promise to teach me about English debate for our
next meeting. I really want to learn about that.
Don't forget to say to your parents that I love them. I always want to see them personally.
Please stay in touch and do write.

Dear Frank,
All the best to you for the New Year! How are things going in the Land of the Rising Sun? I must
say, I really envy you getting that Tokyo gig with the company. Somehow they overlooked me on
that one and I am forced to slug it out here through another frigid and snowy Montreal winter. Brrrr!
I heard through the grapevine that business is going well there. Rumor has it that you guys are
just about to close a big deal with the Japanese government for an M-750 Simulator. Great news!
Good for the company and good for you. Keep up the great work!
Did you hear about Margie Bronson suddenly leaving the company just before year-end? It was
a bit of a shock to say the least. She gave one week's notice and was gone. Nobody knows for
sure what's up with her but rumors have been flying fast and furious that she went through a bit of a
personal meltdown and has now gone underground to lick her wounds for a while. There could be
some truth to that since her long time relationship ended recently and three months ago she was
passed over for that director position that was up for grabs. I'll keep you posted when we find out
more.
As for me, I am quite busy these days on the Branscombe Systems Project. We are entering
Phase Two now, and that is expected to run for three years, at least. Frank Schindler is Senior
Project Manager and I am Team Leader of the Embedded Systems Group. I am enjoying it so far.
Whether I'll feel the same way in three years, I'm not sure. By then I might be ready to join you in
Japan.
I'm still kicking butt in the squash court and am managing to get in two or three matches per
week. What about squash in Japan? Have you been able to play any over there? Are there even
any squash courts? I suppose since you are in Tokyo there must be some. Let me know.
I have to go now and attend to family duties. Jonathon needs some help with his homework and
Angie wants me to fix something in the kitchen. You single guys traveling the world sure are lucky!
Keep me posted whenever you can. I really enjoy receiving your letters and getting the details of
your life in Japan.
Your squash buddy,
Dave

of’ and ‘caused by’ in stating the reason. Do you know what are they? They are actually called as the
conjunction of cause and effect. In this chapter we are going to learn and find more about the
expressions of showing cause and effect. First of all, let’s thank God for the chance to learn English
today and pray for His guidance so that we can learn the materials well.
All right, let’s begin the lesson now!
Bahasa Inggris Kelas XI Semester 2 19
Cause and Effect
Cause and effect is a form of reasoning to reach valid conclusion. These are conjunctions used
to show cause and effect.

punishment from the headmaster.
4. Damas rides his motorcycle calmly so that he’ll be safe.
There are three main types of linking words: conjunctions, transitions, and prepositions.
1. Conjunctions
The most important conjunctions are because, as, since, and so. “Because”, “as”, and
“since” introduce a cause; “so” introduces an effect. These are used to join two complete
sentences (or independent clauses) together. They are often used like this:
→ First sentence conjunction second sentence.
For example:
I went to the beach because it was a sunny day.
Or:
It was a sunny day, so I went to the beach. (use a comma before “so”)
You can also reverse the order of the sentences with because, as, and since.
For example:
Because it was a sunny day, I went to the beach. (use a comma between the first and
second sentences)
Note that this is not possible with “so”.
2. Transitions
The most important transitions are therefore, consequently, and as a result. All of
these introduce an effect. These are used to join two complete sentences (or independent
clauses) together. They are often used like this:
→ First sentence; transition, second sentence.
→ First sentence. transition, second sentence.
For example:
It was a sunny day; therefore, I went to the beach.
Or:
It was a sunny day. Consequently, I went to the beach.
3. Prepositions
The most important prepositions are due to and because of. Both of these introduce
a cause in the form of a noun phrase. They are often used like this:
→ Sentence due to noun phrase.
→ Because of noun phrase, sentence.
For example:
I went to the beach due to the sunny day.
Or:
Because of the sunny day, I went to the beach.

effects to those whose houses are sunk by the flood. For example, destruction of
houses and its property, loss of property, illness and even death.
Andi : I agree with you. But, the flood happens because of human’s fault. People often
throw the rubbish in wrong places such as in the river or sewer. It makes the river

comes and causes the flood.
Billy : That’s not only the cause. People also cut tress illegally. Because of that, there’s
not water absorption by the trees. It makes the rainwater goes into the river or

Task 3
Read and observe the text below thoroughly!
Jupiter Comet Crash
Could Jupiter have been a star instead of a planet? Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and
the biggest planet in our solar system. More than 1.300 planets the size of Earth could fit inside
Jupiter. If you could lump together all eight of the other planet in the solar system, the resulting
planet would still be smaller than Jupiter! In some ways, Jupiter is more like a star than a planet.
Like the sun and other stars, Jupiter is a huge ball of hydrogen gas and helium gas. It gives off
more heat than it receives from the sun. Many moons and several thin rings go around Jupiter.
Jupiter’s moons and rings are like a little solar system.
Our solar system formed from a big cloud of gas and dust. The sun formed at the centre. The
sun sucked in gas and got bigger and bigger and hotter and hotter. Finally, it was big enough and
hot enough to become a star and shine. Jupiter formed the same way. But Jupiter never got big
and not enough to become a star like our Sun. There was not enough gas in the solar system to
make two stars. Jupiter is more like a star that failed.
You could never land a spacecraft on Jupiter. Jupiter does not have a hard surface.
Astronomers (scientists who study space) call Jupiter a gas giant because it’s made almost entirely
of gas. From space, Jupiter looks striped. The stripes are actually bands of coloured clouds that
circle the planet. The clouds near the top of the atmosphere are bathed in deadly radiation.
Jupiter’s highest clouds are also very cold. The clouds get hotter deeper down. Strong winds blow
in opposite directions in each and of clouds. In one band, the winds blow toward the east. In the
next band, they blow toward the west.
Big storms rage in the clouds around Jupiter. The biggest storm is called the Giant Red Spot.
Three planets the size of Earth could fit across the Great Red Spot. This storm may have lasted for
hundreds of years.
Deeper into the planet, the gas gets thicker and receiver. It gets so heavy that some of it gets
squeezed into a layer of liquid hydrogen. Astronomers think that there might be some rock and
metal in the centre, or core of Jupiter.
Jupiter has more moons than any other planet in our solar system. About 400 years ago,
Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei turned a telescope to the sky and discovered moons going
around Jupiter. The four biggest moons are the ones that Galileo discovered. Astronomers call
them the Galilean satellites. Their names are lo, Ganymede, Europa and Callisto. Io is covered with
volcanoes. Many of the volcanoes on lo are active, which means they are erupting or might erupt
again someday. Io has more volcanoes than any other planet or moon.
Ganymede is the biggest moon in our solar system. It is even bigger than the planets Mercury
and Pluto! Europa and Callisto are covered with ice. Astronomers think that enormous oceans of
water may lie under the ice. The rings around Jupiter are thin, dark and hard to see. They are
made of rock and tiny bits of dust.
The ancient Romans named the planet after Jupiter, their chief god, because it shines so
brightly in the night sky. In the early 1600s, Galileo become the first person to study Jupiter with a
telescope. He helped prove that Jupiter and all the planets go around the sun. Before then,
astronomers thought that the sun, others stars, and all the planets went around earth. Today,
astronomers use much more powerful telescopes to look at Jupiter and other objects in space.
Several spacecraft have visited Jupiter. The first, in 1972, was Pioneer 10. Cameras on the
spacecraft took pictures of Jupiter. Instruments on the spacecraft made measurements of planet. In
1994, astronomers watched a comet crash into Jupiter. Jupiter’s gravity tore the comet apart as the
Bahasa Inggris Kelas XI Semester 2 25
comet got close. Pieces of the comet smashed into Jupiter’s atmosphere. The impacts caused
huge explosions. Powerful winds on Jupiter then blew the remains of the comet away.

Fight Song
By Rachel Platten
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream ‘em loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Losing friends and chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
they say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
And it's been two years I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes

To The Sky
by Owl City
Shipwreck in the sea of faces
There's a dreamy world up there
Dear friends in higher places
Carry me away from here
Travel light let the sun eclipse you
'Cause your flight is above to leave
And there's more to this brave adventure
Than you'd ever believe
Birdseye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind and
take to the sky
(You take to the sky)
On the heels of war and wonder
There's a stormy world up there
You can't whisper above the thunder
But you can fly anywhere
Purple burst of paper birds this
Picture paints a thousand words
So take a breath of myth and mystery
And don't look back!
Birdseye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest a floor goodbye as you race the wind and
Take to the sky
There's a realm above the trees
Where the lost are finally found
Touch your feathers to the breeze
And leave the ground
Birdseye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind
take to the sky
(You, take to the sky)

You Are The Reason
By Calum Scott
There goes my heart beating
'Cause you are the reason
I'm losing my sleep
Please come back now
There goes my mind racing
And you are the reason
That I'm still breathing
I'm hopeless now
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
There goes my hand shaking
And you are the reason
My heart keeps bleeding
I need you now
If I could turn back the clock
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
I'd spend every hour of every day
Keeping you safe
And I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason, oh
(I don't wanna fight no more)
(I don't wanna hurt no more)
(I don't wanna cry no more)
(Come back, I need you to hold me closer now)
You are the reason, oh
(Just a little closer now)
(Come a little closer now)
(I need you to hold me tonight)
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
'Cause I need you to see
That you are the reason

The Best Day
by Taylor Swift
I'm five years old
It's getting cold
I've got my big coat on
I hear your laugh
And look up smiling at you
I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch
And the tractor rides
Look now, the sky is gold
I hug your legs
And fall asleep on the way home
I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you're not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day with you today
I'm thirteen now
And don't know how
My friends could be so mean
I come home crying
And you hold me tight
And grab the keys
40 Bahasa Inggris Kelas XI Semester 2
And we drive and drive
Until we find a town far enough away
And we talk and window shop
'Till I forgotten all their names
I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school
But I know I'm laughing
On the car ride home with you
Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day with you today
I have an excellent father
His strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little brother
Inside and out he's better than I am
I grew up in a pretty house
And I've got space to run and hide
And I had the best days with you
There is a video I found
From back when I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen
And you're talking to me
It's the age of princesses and pirate ships
And the seven dwarfs
Daddy's smart
And you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
Now I know why the all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side
Even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
Staying back and watching me shine
And, I didn't know if you knew
So I'm taking this chance to say
That I had the best day with you today.

Well that's when we start turnin' around
You're saying baby don't worry
But we're still going the wrong way baby
Baby you know how to drive in rain
And you decided not to make a change
Stuck in the same old lane
Going the wrong way home
I feel like my heart is stuck in bumper to bumper
Traffic, I'm under pressure 'cause I can't have you
The way that I want
Let's just go back to the way it was
When we were on Honeymoon Avenue
Honeymoon Avenue
Baby, coastin' like crazy
Can we get back to the way it was?

Well they must've been talking about us

Everyday
Bon Jovi
I used to be the kind of guy
Who'd never let you look inside
I'd smile when I was crying
I had nothing but a life to loose
Thought I had a lot to prove
In my life, there's no denying
Goodbye to all my yesterday
Goodbye so long, I'm on my way
I've had enough of crying
Bleeding, sweating, dying
Hear me when I say
Gonna live my life everyday
I'm gonna touch the sky
And I spread these wings and fly
I ain't here to play
I'm gonna live my life everyday
Change, everybody's feeling strange
Never gonna be the same
Makes you wonder how the world keeps turning
Life, learning how to live my life
Learning how to pick my fights
Take my shots while I'm still burning
Goodbye to all those rainy nights
Goodbye, so long, I'm moving on

Hit the gas, take the wheel
I’ve just made myself a deal
There ain't nothing gonna get in my way

Goodbye so long I'm moving on

Present continuous tense S + to be (is/am/are) + V-ing S + is/am/are + being + V-3
Past continuous tense S + to be (was/were) + V-ing S + was/were + being + V-3
