Sample 7
My Bi – bi
 
This year . 2009, Indonesia
is introduced to BlackBerry, as we know Black Berry has a short name, BB. BB
has so many type. From curve, Javelin, Bold, Strom, Tour and the one Gemini.
The price is also different. As I know, Bold is around 5 Million Rupiahs, Curve
is not produced anymore, Javelin is about 4 Million Rupiahs, Gemini is about 2
– 3 Million Rupiahs and it is cheapest one, for Strom and Tour I don’t know
about the princes.
Well, mine is Bold, my brother bought it just 4,1 Million Rupiahs,
because it’s the second hand. The ex – owner bought it and did not know how to
use it and then he sold it. Not, It is mine. I love my bibi very much, Bibi is
my BB’s name, I call it like that. For the provider, I use Axis. It’s really
cheap; I just spend 100.000 Rupiahs for a month for BB’s activation. I can
connect to the internet for a month and I can use BB Messenger, It uses for
chat to the other BB’s owners.
My Bibi appearance is still good, no scratch, the track ball is
still white, it wears black silicon and I have another silicon at home, blue
and yellow. I put a screen guard on it too and my screen guard can used as a
mirror. No one van take a look to what I look on my screen because the screen
guard also protects my screen from spies. It is cool ! The silicon spent
150.000 Rupiahs and the screen spent 50.000 Rupiahs. Those things made me spent
a lot of money. My friends have the funny name for this condition. They call it
“ Kan.Ker”as known as” Kantong – Kering”. 
Now I want to talk about the function of BB. It has 2 MP for the
camera, 8 GB for the external memory, Push email, Connect to Facebook, my
space, or Twitter, Check the weather, Chat to the other BB’s owners, And etc.
Push email is very useful, You do not have to open your computer and connect to
the net for check your email, every time you’ve got the new email, you can open
it at your BB. Connect to Facebook is Useful too, You do not have to waiting
for the long loading look like when you open from your computer or cell phone, Chat
to the other BB’s owners is to wait like send messages like from cell phone.
Wow! BB has so many Functions. As long as we can use it for the good
purposes. Every people can be addicted to BB if they don’t know to separate
their time between works and learn how to use BB. So, don’t you want to use BB?

     Introduction 
 
 
 
The student misses the introduction
of descriptive composition. The introduction is like a report composition. She
mentions the facts related to Blackberry. Every sentence stated is general
things of it, such as the types and the prices of Blackberry.

         Well,
         mine is Bold, my brother bought it just 4,1 million rupiahs, because
         it’s the second hand. The ex – owner bought it and did not know how to
         use it and then he sold it. Not, It is mine. I love my bibi very much,
         Bibi is my BB’s name, I call it like that. For the provider, I use
         Axis. It’s really cheap; I just spend 100.000 Rupiahs for a month for

     Body 
 
 
 
 
 
      There are
three ideas presented in the second paragraph, how the student gets her
Blackberry, the provider used, and the function of it. Actually, the first idea
is such retelling the history of getting her blackberry developed in two
sentences. This paragraph is not well-arranged.
 
  
  
   
    
    
    My Bibi
    appearance is still good, no scratch, the track ball is still white, it
    wears black silicon and I have another silicon at home, blue and yellow. I
    put a screen guard on it too and my screen guard can used as a mirror. No
    one can take a look to what I look on my screen because the screen guard
    also protects my screen from spies. It is cool ! The silicon spent 150.000
    rupiahs and the screen spent 50.000 rupiahs. Those things made me spent a
    lot of money. My friends have the funny name for this condition. They call
    it “ Kan-Ker”as known as” Kantong – Kering”.  (Third paragraph)

There are also some ideas presented in the third
paragraph, the appearance of her Blackberry and the price of the supporting
accessories she uses. Moreover, the ideas are not completed with suitable
supporting ideas.
 
 
 
  
  
   
    
    
    Now I want
    to talk about the function of BB. It has 2 MP for the camera, 8 GB for the
    external memory, push email, connect to Facebook, my space, or Twitter,
    check the weather, chat to the other BB’s owners, and etc. Push email is
    very useful, you do not have to open your computer and connect to the net
    for check your email, every time you’ve got the new email, you can open it
    at your BB. Connect to Facebook is useful too, You do not have to waiting
    for the long loading look like when you open from your computer or cell
    phone, chat to the other BB’s owners is to wait like send messages like
    from cell phone. (Fourth paragraph)

         Wow! BB
         has so many Functions. As long as we can use it for the good purposes.
         Every people can be addicted to BB if they don’t know to separate
         their time between works and learn how to use BB. So, don’t you want
         to use BB? (Fifth paragraph)

     Conclusion 
 
 
 
The writer misses an ending (conclusion). It is such a
hortatory composition. It can be seen from the last sentence of the paragraph
as the recommendation which is usually used in the hortatory composition.
 
- Language Features
 
a.   The Use of SimplePresent Tense
The sentence construction of this
descriptive composition uses specific tense which is simple present tense. Here
are the examples:
-         
I just spend 100.000 rupiahs for a month for BB’s activation. 
-         
I can connect to the internet for a month 
-         
I can use BB Messenger
     
Nevertheless, the writer uses past tense in the body of the descriptive
composition, such as in the second paragraph and the third paragraph.
-         
my brother bought it just 4,1 million rupiahs, because it’s
the second hand. The ex – owner bought it and did not know how to use it
and then he sold it.
-         
The silicon spent 150.000 rupiahs and the screen spent
50.000 rupiahs. Those things made me spent a lot of money.
      
      b.  Word choice of sensory words and figurative
language
      The student just uses a
sensory word, the color.
