Once you begin looking for information—you will find there are a variety of great resources to help you choose the best stories for ESL reading along with practice questions that help you comprehend the information.

Reading for ESL students is one of the first skills needed to begin enjoying life in your new situation. There are a variety of stories available that will not only be interesting and easy to read but they will also help you understand different types of grammar and vocabulary.

The great thing about ESL reading comprehension stories are the varying levels for beginners and more advanced readers.

 Terkadang kita tidak sadar telah membuat orang sedih, kesal, marah bahkan saat kita berfikir kita sedang bercanda. Maka betullah pepatah tuh….maafkan saya ya.this is my sad project.

Setelah our captain DKA menyuruh kami membuat sad project saya bingung bagaimana  buat orang sedih. Sesampainya di kos saya masih berfikir bagaimana saya membuat sad project. Bagaimana mungkin saya membuat dan memposting sad project sedangkan happy project saja saya tidak berani mempostingkan,yang artinya saya memperlihatkan kejelekan saya sendiri. Tapi jikalau saya tidak mempostingnya lagi maka saya akan membuat dosen saya tersebut sedih lagi untuk keduaa kalinya.karena saya ingin mengatakan korban pertama sad project saya adalah our captain sendiri dengan tidak membuat and memposting happy project.maafkan saya pak sudah membuat bapak dosen sedih. Makanya saya membuat sad project ini bukan semata- mata untuk nilai pak tap lebih untuk memperbaiki kedepannya.

Pada hari yang sama saya juga telah membuat sedih papa saya.sebelumnya saya ingin mengatakan klau tanggal 24 oktober kemaren tepatnya hari jum at kemaren adalah ulang tahun mama saya.jadi, saya menelpon  mama ubtuk mengucapkan happy birthday. Setelah itu saya cerita sama maam saya. Dari mama saya tahu klo papa saya sedih karena saya. Beberapa hari sebelumnya saya meminta papa utuk membeli buku grammar untuk saya tetapi papa saya memebeli buku grammar untuk anak sma, otomatis saya langsung complain tanpa memikirkan betapa telah menyempatkan waktunya untuk mencari buku disela sibuknya dia bekerja dan saya dengan gampangnya complain tanpa basa basi.mendengar cerita dari mama membuat saya meras bersalah dengan apa yang sudah saya lakukan.padahal saya tahu betul kalau papa sangat sibuk dengan pekerjaaannya.

Orang yang selanjutnya saya buat sedih adalah kakak kost saya sendiri. Biasanya saya akan bersikap ramah dengan  sekedar menyapa untuk basa basi. Tapi karna satu alasan membuat saya kesal sama kakak tersebut, ditambah lagi dengan masalah – masalah yang lain membuat saya marah besar. Biasanya kalaupun saya marah saya akan diam dan pergi kekamar langsung mendengarkan music. Tapi hari itu benar2 ingin meluapkan kemarahan saya (kebiasaan kalau udah habis kesabaran heheheheh).dengan marah nya  saya membanting pintu kamar dengan sekuat tenaga.kakak itu benar2 kagetmelihat experessi sya hari itu yang tidak seperti biasanya.tapi setelah itu saya menyesal sekali.maafkan ainun ya kak, kakak jadi kena saran deh.

Orang yang sedih selanjutnya saya buat adalah teman saya sendiri (kholis) dia adalah salah satu dari 3 sahabat saya dipesantren dulu. Biasanya kami saling mensupport satu sama lain walau terkadang berbeda pendapat.kalau ada yang salah kami selalu berusaha menegur satu dengan yang lain dengan cara yang ramah sopan dan lemah lembut.  3 hari yang lalu kami saling berkirim foto lewat bbm.saya tahu betul kholis sangat suka bernarsisi difoto lalu dia mengirim fotonya.Tapi hari itu saya ingin bercanda- canda eh ternyata dimasukin kehati.dia mengirim foto yang lucu sih sebenarnya tapi saya komentar “ihhh menor bangat sih dandanannya, alay bangat “dia hanya mengirim gambar stiker yang cemberut.astaga maksud becanda malah jadi kena cemberut.dia sedih karana saya ngomongnya blak-blak an gitu.i’m sorry.

Selanjutnya wafiq,ketika sedang mengerjakan tugas dari mam lina kami sama2 mengerjakannya  di bb.pas dikumpulkan saya melihat kertas punya wafiq robek, saya langsung komentar “ waw….kertas wafiq paling rapi ya ( majas ironi). Trus wafiq komentar “ kamu berhasil buat sad project ainun. Sorry ya wafiq  J. Tau aja ainun mw buat sad project.

Selanjutnya adalah kak yanti.hari rabu kemaren saya minta tolong sama kakak tu untuk membawakan sesuatu yang akan dikirimkan oleh seorang kakak saya juga.saya tlpn kaka yanti gak diangkat saya tlpn kakak yang satu lagi juga gak diangkat. Padahal saya butuh bangat sama yang saya minta tersebut. Saya jadi kesal , bbm dia pun pending.astagaaaaa….jgn sampe kesabaran saya habis.30 menit kemudian kak yanti sms “ dek kakak gak sempat mintanya tadi, maaf ya” astaga orang ini gak tau apa klo saya butuh sama sesuatu tuh.trus saya balas “terserahlah , makasih lah “ tentu saja kak ynti menangkap aura kesal dari kata- kata saya.lalu kak yanti sms lagi “ adek sebenarnya marah siapa ?”. oh my god.pelease deh jangan mulai lagi. Lalu saya jawab” udahlah gak usah dibahas gak penting juga kali”

Jadi, saya benar benar minta maaf sama orang yang sudah saya buat sedih dan kesal. Saya hanya manusia biasa yang sering khilaf.

KESEMPURNAAN ADALAH SIFAT ALLAH, KHILAF ADALAH SIFATNYA MANUSIA

So, forgive me. Sudah membuat sedih dan mempostingnya pula di fb.

comiing soon my cerpen

do this

milikilah hati seluas samudra
maka sebesar apapun masalah yang anda hadapi tidak akan terasa.
