Unforgettable Day

     It was a nice afternoon on July as usual. I was sitting on terrace, starring around. My mother fed the chickens as usual on the septic-tank. At that time, my mom was pregnant. Everything looked fine until something ruined that fine day.

     When my mother fed the chickens, the septic-tank collapsed all of a sudden. Spontaneously, my mother shouted for help and I heard that sound. After that, I ran toward the sound and discovered that my mom sunk into the septic-tank. Then, I looked for a help. I went to my neighbour's house and asked them to helo my mom. Soon, they helped my mom and when my kom rescued, they cleaned her. At night, my mom and dad went to hospital to checked her pregnancy. Fortunately, the fetus was okay.

     Since that day, my family never fed the chickens on the septic-tank. We never forget that day. That was an unforgettable day in our life.

REVIEW : SEMANTICS AND THEORIES OF SEMANTICS

           “Semantics and Theories of Semantics” is a journal that is compiled by Abbas Bukhari. This journal is uploaded by Zain Ez+1 at academia.edu. There is 15 pages in this journal that talks about semantics, one of the branches of pure linguistics that is studying meaning in language.

            This journal tells us the difficulties in the study of meaning. There are grammatical meaning and lexical meaning that we need to know. Not only that, we can know other aspects of meaning of a word by read this journal. It helps us to know more about terms that is in semantics. For example hyponymy, synonymy, antonymy, polysemy, homonymy, and collocation.

            The strengthness of this journal are :

1.      There is colour that differentiates the sub topic’s title or some important word and the content of the topic. Also, they give bold at words or sentences that is important (key word).

2.      Words that is used in this journal is quite easy to understand. So, readers from overseas may understand it.

3.      It gives us examples for each sub topics. So, we can understand more.

4.      The content is good for the beginner.

Beside that, there is also some weakness in this journal, they are :

1.      The systematic of writing this journal is not really good, like there is no paragraph line. It makes readers get bored easily.

2.      There is a watermark on it that makes readers do not enjoy when read it.

3.      In page 14 until 15, there are theories that I still confused.

Every book or journal usually have the strengethness and also weakness on it. So that, we need to read other references to gain our knowledge.
