Kata Pengantar

Bahasa Inggris adalah bahasa utama dalam komunikasi antarbangsa dan pergaulan dunia. Makin datarnya dunia dengan perkembangan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi menyebabkan pergaulan tidak dapat lagi dibatasi oleh batas-batas negara. Kurikulum 2013 menyadari peran penting bahasa Inggris tersebut. Kurikulum 2013 dirancang untuk menyongsong model pembelajaran abad ke-21. Di dalamnya terdapat pergeseran pembelajaran dari siswa diberi tahu menjadi siswa mencari tahu dari berbagai sumber belajar melampaui batas guru dan satuan pendidikan. Peran bahasa Inggris dalam model pembelajaran seperti itu menjadi sangat sentral mengingat lebih banyak sumber belajar yang menggunakan bahasa Inggris dibandingkan bahasa lainnya. Sejalan dengan peran di atas, pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris untuk SMP/MTs Kelas VIII ini disusun untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berbahasa Inggris para siswa. Penyajiannya menggunakan pendekatan pembelajaran berbasis teks, baik lisan maupun tulis dengan menempatkan bahasa Inggris sebagai sarana berkomunikasi, berpikir, dan mengolah rasa. Pemahaman terhadap jenis, kaidah, dan konteks suatu teks ditekankan sehingga memudahkan siswa menangkap makna yang terkandung dalam suatu teks dan menyajikan informasi, gagasan, pikiran, dan perasaan dalam bentuk teks secara kontekstual sehingga mudah dipahami orang lain. Komunikasi yang disajikan di sini adalah komunikasi seharihari. Bagi beberapa sekolah dan daerah yang telah mengajarkan Bahasa Inggris mulai dari kelas-kelas akhir SD/MI, materi yang disajikan perlu diperkaya dengan materi tambahan yang disesuaikan dengan kemampuan siswa, walaupun struktur pembelajarannya tetap mengacu pada model yang ada dalam buku ini. Sebagai bagian dari Kurikulum 2013 yang menekankan pentingnya keseimbangan kompetensi sikap, pengetahuan, dan keterampilan, kemampuan berbahasa Inggris dibentuk melalui pembelajaran berkelanjutan. Pembelajaran model ini dimulai dengan peningkatan kompetensi pengetahuan tentang jenis, kaidah, dan konteks suatu teks, dilanjutkan dengan kompetensi keterampilan menyajikan suatu teks tulis dan lisan, baik terencana maupun spontan dengan pelafalan dan intonasi yang tepat. Pembelajaran berkelanjutan ini bermuara pada pembentukan sikap kesantunan berbahasa. Buku ini menjabarkan usaha minimal yang harus dilakukan siswa untuk mencapai kompetensi yang diharapkan. Sesuai dengan pendekatan yang digunakan dalam Kurikulum 2013, siswa diajak untuk berani mencari sumber belajar lain yang tersedia dan terbentang luas di sekitarnya. Peran guru dalam meningkatkan dan menyesuaikan daya serap siswa dengan ketersediaan kegiatan pada buku Bahasa Inggris / When English Rings a Bell

iii

ini sangat penting. Guru dapat memperkayanya dengan kreasi dalam berbagai bentuk kegiatan lain yang sesuai dan relevan yang bersumber dari lingkungan sosial dan alam. Sebagai edisi kedua, buku ini sangat terbuka terhadap masukan dan akan terus diperbaiki untuk penyempurnaan. Oleh karena itu, kami mengundang para pembaca untuk memberikan kritik, saran dan masukan guna perbaikan dan penyempurnaan edisi berikutnya. Atas kontribusi tersebut, kami mengucapkan terima kasih. Mudah-mudahan kita dapat memberikan yang terbaik bagi kemajuan dunia pendidikan dalam rangka mempersiapkan generasi seratus tahun Indonesia Merdeka (2045). Jakarta, Juli 2016 Tim Penulis

Is Edo here?

No. He is sick. He caught the flu yesterday. He walked home when it was raining hard.

No! It is my breakfast. I did not have breakfast before I went to school this morning. I woke up at six because I went to bed very late last night. I did my homework until ten.

You know I usually come on time to school. But this morning I got a flat tire. Then I walked with my bike here. I got here at six fifty, and the gate was already closed. So here we are, not attending the flag ceremony. 144

Day 1

Day 2

When I was a baby, when I could not do anything, my parents and my elder brother took care of me. My brother is five years older than me. I didn’t sleep with my mum. I slept in a baby cot in my parents bedroom. My brother slept in his own room. My mum breastfed me for two years.

When I cried, they calmed me down. When I was afraid of something, they comforted me. My dad often carried me around in the morning sun. When I got older, they spoonfed me. I played with my brother. I was naughty, but he never got angry with me. He was very patient with me.

Day 3

Day 4

I started my kindergarten when I was five years old. I did my kindergarten for two years, one year in Kindy A and one year in Kindy B. My kindy was near my home. I walked to my kindy with my mum or my brother. Sometimes I went with my dad on his motorcycle.

In the classroom, my teacher read us stories. We sang happy songs, we coloured pictures, and we played with dough and colorful paper. In the playground, we played sliding, we ran around, and we also played hide-and-seek.

Day 6

I started my primary school when I was seven years old and finished when I was twelve. I also walked to school, because my school was only 200 meters from my home. I went to school with my brother or with my friends. Sometimes my dad took me to school on his motorcycle. Sometimes I walked to school by myself.

I learned many new things in primary school. I learned to write and to read in Grade 1 and Grade 2. My favourite teacher was Mrs. Ningrum. She was very smart. She taught us traditional dances and songs. She also taught us to plant trees and take care of the garden. One day she took us to the local library to borrow books.

Day 7

Day 8

I have many sweet memories in my primary school. My friends and I often helped Pak Min, the janitor, because he had so much work to do. We felt happy when we could help him. My Physical Education (PE) teacher, Mr. Laode, often took us to walk around the hills and along the river near our school. We took a rest under the trees when we were tired.

I learned to ride on a bicycle in the school yard in the afternoon after school. And then I could ride in the small streets in the neighbourhood, with my friends. My friends and I often spent hours chatting in the small green yard near the Kelurahan office. The boys climbed the big trees. We also swam in the river. It was still very clean at that time. It is very dirty now.

Now, here I am in this SMP. Last year I was in Grade VII, and now I am in Grade VIII. This school is two kilometers from my home. I learned many new things in Grade VII. It was my first time to go to school on my bike. I met boys and girls from different parts of this town. I was very happy when I first wore my blue-and-white uniform.

Last year was my first time to learn English. I learned to greet other people in English, to introduce myself in English, and to ask and answer questions in English. We also learned to describe our family, our friends, and our school in English. I sang my first English song. I also read my first English story.

We have no helper, so my mum, my dad, my sister, and I do the chores ourselves. We make the bed. We wash and iron our clothes. We also dust the furniture. We sweep and mop the floor every day. I often go to the shop to buy sugar, soap, oil, salt, rice, vegetables, fruits, and so on.

In the past only my mum cooked for us. Now, my brother and I often cook for the family. We fry eggs and make fried rice or noodles. When I lost something, everybody else found it for me. Now, when I lose something, I find it myself.

I only slept for three hours last night. At ten, we heard a cry from Mrs. Wayan’s home. She is our next-door neighbour. She’s 70 years old and very weak. She lives alone. We went there quickly, and we found her on the floor. She just fell. She could not move her hands and her legs. At 10.30, my parents and I took Mrs. Wayan to hospital. My father and I sat in the front seats. In the back seats, my mum was holding Mrs. Wayan. In the emergency room, a doctor examined her. Then he said Mrs. Wayan had to stay in the hospital. When she was already in the ward, we went home. It was 2 a.m.

You said your little sister did something funny this morning. What is that? Yes, last Saturday, my little sister, Dina, did something funny. She got up very late, at six. She ran fast to the bathroom. She thought she would be late to school. She forgot it was Saturday. She took a very quick bath, got dressed, took her bag, and ran off to school. She did not even have breakfast. After walking for five minutes, she noticed that no other children were going to school. Soon she realized it was Saturday! So, she walked back home. We all laughed at her when she got home. She also laughed at herself. Then she changed her clothes, and went back to bed! My naughty sister!
