The process of teaching English to adult learners can prove to be very interesting and, at the same time, rewarding. These learners’ motivation, determination and life experience can bring a wide range of benefits to the context of instruction. However, it is obvious that instructors must be more flexible and more responsive in adult educational contexts. It is only in this way that teachers can
really contribute to the success of their students’ learning by creating a positive.

(12nd)Book of Elmet

The family thought the little house they had made themselves in Elmet, a corner of Yorkshire, was theirs, that their peaceful, self-sufficient life was safe. Cathy and Daniel roamed the woods freely, occasionally visiting a local woman for some schooling, living outside all conventions. Their father built things and hunted, working with his hands; sometimes he would disappear, forced to do secret, brutal work for money, but to them he was a gentle protector.

Narrated by Daniel after a catastrophic event has occurred, Elmet mesmerizes even as it becomes clear the family’s solitary idyll will not last. When a local landowner shows up on their doorstep, their precarious existence is threatened, their innocence lost. Daddy and Cathy, both of them fierce, strong, and unyielding, set out to protect themselves and their neighbors, putting into motion a chain of events that can only end in violence.

From the news I read there is a shortage of potatoes in New Zealand. This means it could be potato chips until next year. Potato chip lovers call it "chipocalypse". This comes from the words "chip" and "doomsday". New Zealand has a very wet winter. It has hit the potato growers. In some areas, one-third of the potatoes used to make potato chips have been lost. This means the company will make some potato chips, and the price for the potato chips will be higher.

93rd (9th book ) - The fan club by Irving Wallace

The main characters in this novel are Sharon Field as a famous sexy actress in America that has 4 fanatic fans; Adam Malone, Kyle Shively, Leo Bruner and Howard Yost. They had a dream to making love with her but in condition Sharon did it sincerely without any pressure. They made a plan to kidnap her. After they had kidnapped her, Kyle, Leo, and Howard raped her. Only Adam that didn’t do it because he is a kind man and keep his promise. It’s the interesting behavior in this novel. But, the part make me confusing is in the end of this story when police didn’t check the place where she had kidnapped so Adam wasn’t be jailed.
I dislike with their plan of kidnapping because it is big crime. As a fan we just like our idol normally, don’t be too fanatic. I don’t have any experience about it. Actually I have an idol but it’s not like this story, just usual fan.
If I can change the story I will make the ending of the novel in different way. Adam is also a criminal although he helps Sharon. He has to be jailed. Reader can think and make it as example that it’s bad and bad guy must got his punishment.
The larger issue in this novel is about the fanatic fans that become criminal persons. Firstly the kidnapping only to rape her, but after that they also want her money because she was rich. It’s happened because sexy actress like Sharon can make any people do something bad to her. Thus as a women you haven’t to expose your sexuality if you don’t want to get same experience like her.
While I was reading the novel, I feel the story is interesting and enjoyable. The choosing of vocabulary is good and easy to read.

90th ( 8th book ) - Belladonna by Karen Moline

There are some character s in this novel, they are Tomasino Cennini, Matteo Cennini, Belladona, Matter Canaan, and Leandro. The main character, Belladonna, is my favorite character here, because she was not desperate although had been a victim of a British aristocrat who kept her drugged, tortured, and sexually enslaved for 12 years, even she did the revenge to the people who became him Lordship by establishing a night club and murdered the members. I found a difficulty in diving Tomasino’s character, because there were many parts which was described him as a servant who opposed his boss, Belladonna, but there were many parts too which was described him as an obedient servant.
There is a part of the story that i dislike most. It’s when Belladonna only thought about her desire to revenge without thinking about her life.
Actually i never read book like this before, but the author’s idea for revenge is so out of mind. The author usually writes about the revenge only to the person who hurt the character, but in this novel the author made revenge also to everybody who became him Lordship for the women.
If i could change to the story, i would add some explanations about her life too, because the author only wrote about Belladonna’s life very short, whereas her private life is also interesting to be told.
This novel told me that women trafficking happen everywhere, not only in developmental country like Indonesia, but also in Britain which has been progressive.
When I read this novel, I feel so curious, because the author’s way to tell the story was very unpredictable.

87th (7th book ) - Dead Zone by Stephen King

The main character of this novel is Johnny Smith who he got a power as clairvoyant because an accident. His girlfriend is Sarah who has married with other man because Johnny got coma for 5 years. His parents are Herb and Vera who always care with him.
I like this novel because this novel has a good plot. The interesting part is when Johnny saw the future of Stillson who he was a candidate of President. Stillson will make nuclear conflict around the world. It is will be a big problem and he want to stop it.
But the part that made me confusing is how a human can get the power to see the future. I think it’s impossible. The part that I dislike is when he was dead because I think he should survive and help other person with his power.
I don’t have any experience that related with this novel. As I know in Indonesia, there are many shamans who can see the future but I don’t believe with them.
If I have opportunity to change this novel, I will change the ending. He can against his brain tumor and still alive. Then, he got a good position in government because he has saved America from Stillson. While I was reading this novel I felt enjoyable.

84th (6th book ) - The Boy whoo invented the bubble gun by Paul Callico

The main character is Julian who drew a picture of the Bubble Gun. He wanted to realize it became real gun but he didn’t have money and tools to create it. The second character is Marshal who helped him when Julian was accused as a killer. And the third is Colonel who brought him to government to realize what he wanted.
I am interested with his spirit in getting what he wanted. He went to New York alone without his mother permission. But finally he can invent the Bubble gun. I was confused with the police that accused him because I think the picture is not enough to be used as a proof. I like ending part that he finally got what he want after he had struggled from police. But I dislike with his mother who didn’t permit him to reach his dream because as a mother, she has to support her son. I don’t have any experience that related with this book.
When I am reading this book I feel enjoyable and the main character brought me to his spirit in getting his dream.

81st ( 5th book ) - The Catch a King by Harry Patterson

This novel tells about a Jewish girl who named Fraulin Hannah Winter. She born in Berlin but when she was a child her father brought her to New York. She was a singer. The other main character is Walter Schellenberg. He was a major-general of police in Lisbon. The story based on history of World War II 1940. The issue of this novel is about a plan to kidnapping David or usually called as The Duke of Windsor. He was a major-general in France who wanted to be a governor of Bahamas.
The interesting point in this novel is Hannah who only an ordinary person had to against a major-general of police to save The Duke. Actually she was not an agent, but her uncle who he was a Russia Agent needed her helping to send a report of kidnapping plan to The Duke in France. But the part that made me confusing in this novel is about the politic problem between Nazi Party and other capital in Europe. Also, I dislike with the part when her uncle, Max Winter, was joined her in this problem. Hannah as an ordinary person, it would be dangerous to her. In my opinion if I could change the story, Max Winter must solved this problem professionally. He could send the report with other Russia Agent, not Hannah.
I don’t have any experience that related with this story. But I ever read an article about World War II. From this novel I can imagine how their life is. Many Jew people had been killed in Holocaust tragedy. It’s very frightened. While I was reading this novel, I was excited with how Hannah struggling to help his uncle. Although his uncle had been kill and dead, she still struggle to send the report.

78th (4th book )- The Rainbow Troops  A novel

This is a charming and uplifting book, full of exotic Indonesian words, references to Islamic prayer times and ethnic groups that peacefully coexist (Malays, Chinese immigrants, native Sawangs). It makes for a refreshing break from the middle-class navel-gazing of most Western fiction.(O)nce you give yourself over to the fact that this is an entirely earnest tale of perseverance and of chasing impossible dreams, the story skates forth effortlessly and endearingly, and the optimism that Hirata infuses into each of his characters becomes contagious. (...) Like a good fable, the book imparts a simple moral.

3rd BOOK : STEAK TARTARE
STEAK TARTARE - MR. BEAN IN TOWN retold by JOHN ESCOTT

This book tells about Mr. Bean's experience birthday. I believe all of you know who is Mr. Bean. He is a funny guy with his strange behaviour, or maybe anybody thinks that he is stupid.

In this story, he wanted to celebrate  his birthday. He went to a restaurant. It was a very expensive restaurant. Actually, he did't have a lot of money, but he ordered steak tartare. It was a very disgusting for him. He did anything, so that he didn't need to eat it. He pretended that he was angry with the bad service from the waiter.

In the last story, the manager did apologise,and he served a big plate steak tartare, and the man with the violin sang "happy birthday" song. He had to eat the food whether he want or not.

Review of 2nd book: The Mummy Returns

This story is a little creepy because it tells the story of two archeologists who have become mummies centuries ago in the past. They are told to live again today. They meet and produce a child. This story is quite interesting to me, although I do not like the genre of the story, the language in this book is also difficult to understand. So I can only capture some of the parts in this book. But after reading this book I feel diatmosphere is different because the story is so classic with a pretty neat groove. From here I can also learn about history when reading books like The Mummy Returns this. I simply recommend this book for history lovers because after reading this book you will get some information that you have never found before, I think so. :)

I get from articles that read endangered young people at high risk for poor educational outcomes, such as dropping out of school. School linkages, including supportive relationships with adults in school and participation in school clubs, can help support successful education for poorly treated youth. School club participation is associated with an increased chance of high school graduation and may be a promising opportunity to intervene in the future trajectory of maltreatment of poor health and well-being youth. Future research should further explore the potential benefits of participation in school activities for ill-treated youth and other means to improve school connectivity and, ultimately, educational attainment.

We include youth with at least one Child Protective Services (CPS) reporting at the age of twelve from the Longitudinal Study on Child Abuse and Harassment, a prospective cohort study. Participation in extracurricular activities and adult relationships was reported at age 16, high school status / data persecution encoded from CPS records. The result is GED graduation / acceptance. Multivariable logistic regression investigated the relationship between school connectivity and GED graduation / acceptance, controlling confounders. Some maltreated adolescents report links with adults in school, and additional efforts may be needed to support these vulnerable young people.

Reading is an individual process for receiving and processing written information, from decoding and recognizing words to the process of word-text integration and making higher meanings.  In digital and linear texts, information must be communicated in a coherent form that allows the reader to extract meaning and form a mental representation of the text situation. Hypertext, though, offers readers greater freedom in how they receive information by simultaneously giving fewer cues about what information will be in the next process and where to find it. Therefore, digital readings require increased activation of cognitive resources to enable the reader to deal precisely with non-linear text structures without getting lost.
This study examines whether memory updates predict students' understanding of digital hypertext lipocyte above and above the linearly structured reading of the text, and whether the association is influenced by the specific characteristics of reading assignment, reading behavior and individual conversation. For learning purposes, the results show that readers should learn from hypertext designed to fit their cognitive abilities. For teaching purposes, the difficulty of digital reading tasks should be stepped up gradually to stimulate new strategies and encourage integration skills in the reader. However, more research is needed to verify this conclusion.

63nd (6th article) - The effectiveness and efficiency of extensive reading at developing reading rates


Several studies have examined the development of reading rates of foreign language learners through extensive readings. Previous research conducted has methodological limitations with respect to research design or interpretation of the results. To overcome this limitation, this study investigated the impact of widespread reading and multiplication of language on the development of reading rates using experimental research design with evidence that the time spent on each treatment was similar. This study provides evidence of the effectiveness and efficiency of the development of reading levels through an extensive reading relative to traditional reading instruction with grammar translation exercises.
This study investigates the impact of ER translation treatment and the grammar on the development of reading levels among Japanese language graduates who do timed reading exercises. Researchers have expressed the need for an experimental design that investigates the effectiveness of ER relative to grammatical translation at an increased reading level. A review of the research on ER has found persuasive evidence that extensive readings performed consistently during a sustained period will have a positive impact on students' reading ability. The findings, together with the results of this research into the efficiency and effectiveness of the ER through traditional grammatical translation methods, can be used to guide policy and practice decisions in the Asian context.

Actually, i haven't enough understood about this reading, this reading has many hard vocabulary, but I got something although not complete.
Aspergillosis is a type of disease caused by the fungus of the genus Aspergillus. This disease is spread due to the spores of Aspergilus fungus in the free air. Generally seen in advanced stages of AIDS and most commonly involving the lungs.

58th ( 4th article) - Transportation Research Part C

This article discusses today's existing models based on the experiment of everyday virtual route selections using the latest mobile Internet technologies. With the flow of roads and pathways realized every day in the experiment, we calibrate some well-designed day-based models, which take the balance of Wardrop users as (part of) their stationary state. The nonlinear effects of the road flow and the time difference of the path on the transfer path are then investigated. The participants' path preference, time sensitivity varies, and learning behavior in daily processes are also examined. Strength of prediction of various models with different settings (nonlinear effects, sensitivity and learning varies time) compared. The assumption of "rational behavior adjustment process" is further verified. Finally, the evolution of different Lyapunov functions used in the literature is plotted, and no apparent diversity is observed.

  Total knee replacement is  surgical procedure whereby the diseased, is replaced with artificial material. The knee is  hinge joint which provides motion at the point where the thigh meets the lower leg. Thigh bon abuts the large bone of the lower leg (tibia) at the knee joint. During a total knee replacement, the end of the femur bone is removed and replaced with a metal shell. The end of the lower leg bone (tibia) is also removed and replaced with a channeled plastic piece with a metal stem. Depend on the condition of the kneecap portion of the knee joint, a plastic "button" may also be added under the kneecap surface. The artificial components of a total knee replacement are referred to as the prosthesis.
