My Day
I had a terrible day yesterday. First, I
woke up an hour late because my alarm clock didn't go off. Then, I was in such
a hurry that I burned my hand when I was making breakfast. After breakfast, I
got dressed so quickly that I forgot to wear socks. Next, I ran out of the
house trying to get the 9:30 bus, but of course I missed it. I wanted to take a
taxi, but I didn't have enough money.
Finally, I walked the
three miles to my school only to discover that it was Sunday! I hope I never
have a day as the one I had yesterday.

My Grandpa’s Funeral in Toraja
Last month my family and I went to Toraja to
attend Grandpa’s funeral. It was my
first time to go to such a ceremony. We gathered there with our kind in the
ceremony.
Overall, the ceremony was quite elaborate. It took about a week. Several
days before the ceremony was done, grandpa’s body was kept in a series of
houses arranged in circular row around an open field called tongkonan.
His corpse was dressed in a fine wearing.
The funeral was performed in two phases. First,
we slaughtered the pigs and buffaloes, and then moved the corpse to face north.
In this ceremony we wore black clothes. After that, the corpse was placed in a
sandal wood coffin. Then, it was brought out of the house and placed on an open
platform beneath the granary. Meanwhile, my uncle, my brother, and I prepared
the wooden puppet and a funeral tower called lakian. The next phase of
the ceremony was held in this place. The coffin is borne from the house and
placed in the lakian. During the day, there were also buffalo matches.
They were great matches. In the night, we were feasting, chanting, and dancing.
On the last day, the grandpa’s coffin were
lowered from the funeral tower and brought up to the mountainside family
graveyard. Great shouting and excitement followed it from the relatives and the
guests. Finally, we installed the wooden puppet on a high balcony where other
puppets representing the members of a whole family were already there.
The funeral ceremonies made my family and me
tired. However, we were grateful because it ran smoothly.

The Fortune Teller
In the great city of Taipei,
there lived a man called Lin and his wife. They had no children. Because of
this, they were very unhappy. One day, they found a baby boy outside their
door. He was wrapped in a blanket and crying. They took the baby into their
house and called him Sau Ling. They loved him very much.
When Sau Ling was a young man,
a fortune-teller came to the house. "You must send your son away," he
said. "One day he will become a thief and cause you a lot of
trouble."
Mr and Mrs Lin were very
sad to hear this. They believed what the fortune-teller said. They gave Sau
Ling some clothes and money and sent him away.
Several years later, Sau Ling
was having a meal in an inn several miles from Taipei. He put his bag on the
floor near his table. After finishing his meal, he picked up his bag.
"That's strange!" he thought, "It feels so heavy."He looked
inside. It was full of small gold bars. Then he realized that someone had taken
his bag by mistake and left another bag, in its place.
That evening, a young
man came to the inn, "Has anyone seen my bag?" he asked. Sau Ling was
very honest. He returned the bag to him. The young man thanked him. "You
are really very honest," he said, "I shall ask may to say. He left
the house without saying a word. Mr and Mrs Lin never believed in
fortune-teller after that. Sau Ling took them to live with him and they were
very happy and contented until the end of their lives.

v Activity 5. Read another narrative story .
A crow, perched in a tree with a piece of cheese
in his beak, attracted the eye and nose of a fox. "If you can sing as
prettily as you sit," said the fox, "then you are the prettiest
singer within my scent and sight." The fox had read somewhere, and
somewhere, and somewhere else, that praising the voice of a crow with a cheese
in his beak would make him drop the cheese and sing. But this is not what happened
to this particular crow in this particular case.
"They say you are sly and they say you are
crazy," said the crow, having
carefully removed the cheese from his beak with the claws of one foot,
"but you must be nearsighted as well. Warblers wear gay hats and colored
jackets and bright vest, and they are a dollar a hundred. I wear black and I am
unique."
I am sure you are," said the fox, who was
neither crazy nor nearsighted,
but sly. "I recognize you, now that I look more closely, as the most famed
and talented of all birds, and I fain would hear you tell about yourself, but I
am hungry and must go." "Tarry awhile," said the crow quickly,
"and share my lunch with me." Whereupon he tossed the cunning fox the
lion's share of the cheese, and began to tell about himself. "A ship that
sails without a crow's nest sails to doom," he said. "Bars may come
and bars may go, but crow bars last forever. I am the pioneer of flight, I am
the map maker. Last, but never least, my flight is known to scientists and
engineers, geometricians, and scholar, as the shortest distance between two
points. Any two points," he concluded arrogantly. "Oh, every two
points, I am sure," said the fox. "And thank you for the lion's share
of what I know you could not spare." And with this he trotted away into
the woods, his appetite appeased, leaving the hungry crow perched forlornly in
the tree.

Every text has its own structure. The structure of
narrative text consists of three parts: complication, and resolution.
Orientation describes scene and introduces the participants of the story.
Complication begins when there is a problem in resolution. The structure of
narrative text occurs in the text variously. A text may have only one
complication and resolution but another text may have more than complication
and resolution
