Chapter 2 Kindness Begins With Me

Pada bab ini, siswa belajar mengekspresikan tentang perasaan, sifat dan perilaku karakter dalam cerita.

Karakter dalam cerita-cerita tersebut adalah berbagai macam binatang, jadi ceritanya tidak nyata atau imajinatif atau cerita rakyat.

(In this chapter, students learn to express the feelings, traits and behaviors of the characters in the stories. The characters in the stories are various animals, so the stories are not real or imagined or imaginative).

Some vocabulary in this chapter:

Pada teks cerita kita menggunakan kata kerja bentuk lampau untuk membicarakan kejadian di masa lampau dalam sebuah cerita. Kita menggunakan kata kerja ini untuk:

Menciptakan tindakan (shake – shook): The yellow ducklings shook their wings.
Menunjukkan proses berpikir (think – thought): A Mother Duck thought about her eggs.
Mengidentifikasi sesuatu dengan indera kita (see – saw): The Mother Duck saw i’ve yellow ducklings.
Mengungkapkan sesuatu (say – said): “You are all so cute!”, said the Mother Duck.
Menghubungkan informasi (is/am/are – was/were): The Ugly Duckling was gray and shy.
Sebuah cerita berisi hubungan antar karakter. Salah satu cara untuk menunjukkan hubungan tersebut adalah dengan menggunakan ekspresi seperti pleased’, ‘angry’, ‘worried’, and ‘sorry’.

Ekspresi ini juga disebut Kata Sifat. Kata sifat mengekspresikan perasaan karakter dalam dunia cerita. Menggunakan kata sifat dapat membantu pembaca dapat mengetahui lebih banyak tentang perasaan karakter dalam cerita. Sebagai contoh, kata sifat menunjukkan bahwa Induk Bebek merasa khawatir atau Si Itik Buruk Rupa sedih.

Kata sifat dapat muncul setelah kata ‘menjadi’. Kata sifat muncul setelah kata kerja lampau bentuk lampau dari ‘to be’, ‘was’ dan ‘were’ karena kita lebih sering menggunakan bentuk lampau dalam menceritakan sebuah cerita.

Lihatlah contoh berikut ini:

The Ugly Duckling was sad. Nobody wanted to be his friend
(showing the Ugly Duckling’s feeling sad).

The yellow ducklings were not happy to see the Ugly Duckling
(showing the yellow ducklings’ feeling unhappy).

Selain mengekspresikan perasaan karakter, kata sifat seperti “shy”, “mean”. “honest”, “friendly” or “rude” dapat menggambarkan sifat dan perilaku karakter dan perilaku.

Kata Sifat ini membantu pembaca  memahami lebih banyak tentang mereka. Contoh: 

Braveness (“brave”, “shy”, “ferocious”)
Capacity (“clever”, “foolish”)
Morality (“honest”, “kind”, “friendly”, “cruel”, “rude”, “sly”, “arrogant”).
