My Experience When I was a Child

When I was a kid, I’ve very bad experience. I have been I situation where I was get asthma attack at the age of 9.

My mom went to buy some vegetables at the supermarket. Before she left, she asked my sister to keep an eye on me but she didn’t do as promised.

One hours letter the attacks become serve and I was completely helpless and hopping that my mom would arrived any minutes.

I couldn’t not remember what happen after that, but I hearing my sister calling my mo by telephone and asking for help.

My sister tired to help me, she take me to the bed and give me some medicine. After that when my mom arrived, she carried me in to a car and taken to the hospital. I then received emergency treatments from the doctor.

I could still remember the pain I felt of not being able to breath. This experience stayed with me till now but now I am old enough to know, if I feel that my symptoms aren’t improving, I should call the emergency for help right away. This is the worst attack I have experienced since then.

My First Experience Cooking

One day in Sunday morning, my mom and my sister gone for shopping. Im feeling so hungry, I go to the kitchen but I’m not found any food. As I hadn’t had breakfast I decide to begin my first experience as a chef by making an fried rice.

First, I took rice, an egg, chili, onion, salt and oil. I knew the basic, so I began the work. I washed the onion and chili and I started chopping. This time disaster struck and I cut my finger. There no bleeding but it was just a painful.

The egg awaited its fate to be cracked in half. It two or three attempts to crack it open and in to the bowl. I took the pan on a stove, I used oil to frying an egg, onion, chili. Then I put rice and give some salt and ketchup.

Finally I’ve got my breakfast, look so yummy but when I try it, the taste is so salty. That my first bad cooking experience.

My experience as a Baby-sitter

Last week, my sister ask me to baby-sit her 6 year old son (my nephew) on Sunday morning. I agreed, think it would be fun cause I haven’t any home work.

When Jessar (his name) arrived at my house, I ask him what he would like to play? He’s answer “video game”. So I brought out my Play Station and playing together with him. After a little while, he must have got bored and wandered off. I was concentrating on setting up the Play Station properly and didn’t notice his disappearance.

Suddenly there was a loud crash. I was terrified to see that Jessar was nowhere in sight. I run to look for him and found him in the bathroom, he was sit in the closet. That makes me shocked cause that’s so disgusting for me.

Then I called my sister to get back early. I’m feeling frustration but I tried to clean up him. In the end, I was as wet as he was and feeling bruised all over.

Singular Noun and Plural Noun

1.    Singular Noun (Kata Benda Tunggal)

Singular Noun adalah kata benda yang menunjukan bahwa benda tersebut jumlahnya hanya satu, dan pada umumnya di dahului oleh article “a” atau “an”, khususnya untuk benda yang dapat dihitung dan yang belum diketahui secara pasti.

Contoh :

·         There is a car in garage

·         I want to buy an egg

Namun, bila bendanya sudah tertentu, ditambahkan article “the”.

Contoh :

·         There is the car in the garage

·         I want to buy the egg

Bentuk singular noun harus menggunakan kata kerja tunggal, yaitu dengan penambahan s/es untuk kata kerja biasa dan to be “is” untuk kata kerja to be.

Contoh :
