a) Learning Activity 1
In this activity, we learn about letter. A letter is a written message that can
be handwritten or printed on paper. Actually, there are many kinds of letter, like
personal letter, business letter and so on. But in this activity, we just learn about
personal letter. There are three personal letters provided in this learning activity.
Even though they are all personal letter, those three personal letters show some
differences such as purposes of each letter. For example, . The first letter
specifically sent to reconnect, ask and share news to an old friend who lives away.
The second is sent to make a new friendship relation and the third is to respond
the previous letter sent to her. And also they are different in some features. The
first letter has the date written on top, using casual greeting ‘Dear Fatima’ and
‘Love’ in the closing part showing close relation. The second and the third letter
have no date and the greeting is casual but not as intimate as the first letter.
Besides differences, those three personal letters also show some
similarities such as the structure of writing form, such as each of them has
greeting, body of the letter, and closing. They also have some similarities in terms
of social function, text structure, and lexicon-grammatical feature. In terms of
social function, they are generally written to help people in building and maintaining
personal relationship. The last similarities is In terms of lexico-grammatical
feature, all of them use simple present to tell personal news, past tenses to share
past experiences.

statement made to the public or to the media which gives information about
something that has happened or that will happen. The announcement provided in
this learning activity, in form of printed and spoken announcements. Both printed

publicly about what has happened or will happen. The structure is not quite
different, with the heading at the beginning and followed by some details of the
information. The spoken announcement begins with greeting before coming to the
point of announcement while the printed forms usually have title on top of the
announcement. Besides, in spoken announcement, the introduction of the announcer
is usually done at the beginning of the announcement while the printed form is
usually at the end of the announcement. Spoken announcements also requires the
speaker to pay attention to the pronunciation and intonation to make the
information clear while the printed one is focusing on the punctuation marks and
other requirements of a good writing.

a text that elaborates the writer‘s idea about the phenomenon surrounding. Its

thesis followed by Arguments, and the last is Reiteration. Thesis is about to
introduce the case and writer’s position, Arguments to support his position, and
reiteration to strengthen the thesis as the conclusion. Through a good analytical
exposition, the writers are able to persuade the reader that the case he is talking
