Project #2

Hai! Welcome back to parallel- blog! How is your day? Hope you all always have a great day. Anyway, today I will share quotes from two stories for you, after that, I will show my bookmarks made by myself. Let’s go..!!

Like my previous post, first story is for reading text. The title is Under The Sky in Room 553 I Discovered You and I by Spellfire. This story has 1 chapter and 28825 words. The story is about two childhood best friends named Yeonjun and Beomgyu. They have habit to visit the park whenever they celebrated their birthday, sit in the maple tree and have chat with each other. But, someday, when they are going home—because their house is in the opposite direction, and Yeonjun has family gathering—they didn’t walk together, actually Beomgyu forced Yeonjun to let him go home alone, no need to take him home as usual. But on the way home, Beomgyu had an accident. If you interested to read this story, you can click here. But for your information, this is sad story—I am crying when read this story—if you don’t like it, don’t read it. And here is the bookmark.

Made by: Cornelia Betty S.

“I’m so glad I haven’t lost you completely. Knowing you can hear me is enough. I’m thankful enough.” There are Yeonjun’s words when he visit Boemgyu in his room. “Beomgyu’s brain is almost entirely dysfunctional, but he is alive, he is breathing. But his body is in a persistent vegetative state, there is little to no brain activity but his auditory perception was able to be saved. He can hear.” That was Soobin—the young nurse—told him about Beomgyu condition at that time.

I like the words, because it is show that Yeonjun still has hope if his bestfriend can get up and talk with him again although they told him if Beomgyu chances of being conscious are very small. He is not hopeless, and always talking with Beomgyu even he knows Beomgyu won’t answer him back.

Next, the second text is listening text title Rapacini’s Daughter by Nathaniel Hawthorne with 2477 words and in the level 2. The story is about Giovanni Guasconti, a young man from Naples who went to Northen Italy to study. He rented a small room on the top floor of a dark and ancient palace. Someday, he saw Rapacini’s daughter, who never leaves her father’s flower garden and falling love to her. You can read this story here. And there is the bookmark.

Made by: Cornelia Betty S.

"I want to be loved, not feared." This words was said by Rapacini’s daughter, Beatrice Rapacini before she dies. That time, Giovanni realized if he was poisonous and tell Beatrice about that—because she is like him too since she was a baby. Then Mr. Rapacini appear and say if Beatrice is not alone anymore, she have friend with the same condition with her, but Beatrice doesn’t like his idea and said that words.

I choose this words because for me that words related with life. There is no one who doesn’t want to be loved. Even they become someone to be feared, they also want someone to love and care for them.

I don’t know why I choose sad story for today, I didn’t realize it at first and then I write this and be like ‘Woah! This is the day to read sad stories!’ Okay..! I think that's all for today, hope you enjoy my blog, and see you! Bye..bye..👋

source: google Hello, everyone! Welcome to my blog! Because this is my first post, so let me introduce myself. My name is Cornelia Betty Septiningrum, I’m a college student from Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana. In this post, I will tell you about my English learning journey. Okay, let’s start! When I was little, I’m not that interested to learning English, especially when in elementary school. Because I can’t understand what my English teacher said. But, after watched movies in English like Harry Potter, Narnia or Disney movies, I interested to learning English. In junior high school, with new English teacher and her different way to teaching, I become easier to understand the material being taught, I can improve my English skills too. However, I still have some difficulties when learning English, especially speaking. Because when I should speak in English, sometimes I'm confused how to answer even though I understand what they are talking about or what they ask. Sometimes I a...
