Few days later, an old man with long grey beard, passed by his house took pity on him. He gave him a goose and said “ I don’t have any expensive thing to give you and hope this goose will help you to ease your hardship.”

A week later to almost surprise the farmer found and egg in his yard. This was no ordinary egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly overcome with joy.

Thereafter, his livelihood had rapidly improved but the farmer had forgotten his earlier hardship. He became lazy, arrogant and spendthrift.

Though he very much regretted for his foolishness, it’s already too late.**

Bus was Flowing Right Behind Me (http://understandingtext.blogspot.com/2010/09/contoh-recount-text-recounting-horror.html)

I stayed a night at Sakhuwa of Gati VDC because a landslide near Baseri had blocked the road, The next morning, I hopped onto the bus with registration number Ba 2 Kha 4013 that was on the way to Barhabise from Tatopani.

I took a seat by the doorside and remember that there were around 35 passengers, including me. The driver started the bus. A kilometer into the journey, I noticed a ditch on the road.

The driver tried to avert the ditch. Before I could know what was going on, the bus started hurtling towards the Bhotekoshi.

I had given up hope of surviving, but found a ventilator glass broken. I came out of the shattered glass and plunged into the Bhotekoshi.

The river carried me for about 35 kilometers and left me on the shallow surface. I passed out after that. The rescuers took me to a hospital when I regained consciousness.

I heard later that all except four passengers had survived. I have sustained injuries on the face, hands and other body parts. Nonetheless, I feel that surviving was my destiny.

 MEMOS (http://www.english.udel.edu/wc/student/handouts/memos.pdf)

Definition:

A memo is an internal document that is generally short, focuses on a

single topic, reports information, makes a request, or recommends action.

It follows specific forms, depending on the organization.

Before writing, consider:

• Who will read the memo

• Why the memo is being written

• The tone and language

Certain words convey the tone of a memo (for example, negative,

positive, conciliatory, assertive, motivational, friendly, etc.). In

addition, the choice of language depends on the reader (coworker,

superior, or subordinate) and the objective.

Purpose of a Memo (http://www.samples-help.org.uk/sample-letters/sample-memo.htm )

A memo is used as a written reminder or to convey a short proposal or some basic information

Heading of memo:

To: Santa’s Elves

From: Santa Claus

Date: 30 September 2001

Subject: Meeting to discuss shortage of toy parts

Note: To prevent confusion, a memo should address only one subject. The

subject-line title should be accurate and complete.

Body of memo:

A memo should contain three parts:

1. For the introduction, start with one clear sentence that states the

subject and provides a summary of the topic.

2. The middle may contain several sentences of explanation.

3. The ending makes a request or a recommendation

Format:

Follow the guidelines of your particular company, university, etc.

These guidelines should include:

• Heading (To, From, Date, Subject)

Most memos now use this form for the date: 17 December 2002

• Names – follow guidelines for your institution

Example: A.B. Jones or Alexander Buckson Jones

• Position or title – include if your organization requires it.

• If copies should go to more people, put “cc:” with the names at the

bottom of the memo.

Electronic Memo (e-mail):

E-mail memos serve the same purpose as paper memos but are easier to

create and store, as well as faster to distribute.

Sample Memo:

To: Santa’s Elves

From: Santa Claus

Date: 30 September 2001

Subject: Meeting to discuss shortage of toy parts

I am calling a meeting at 3 p.m. tomorrow to discuss the shortage of toy

parts for the upcoming holiday season. Some of you have already

mentioned that various widgets and snippets are hard to obtain from the

usual sources. If we cannot obtain these items soon, we will have to find

new suppliers in order to meet our holiday deadline. We do not want to

disappoint any children.

Please bring a list of the parts in short supply to the meeting so that we

can determine what to do next. If you have any additional suggestions, be

sure to contact me or Mrs. Claus.

Cc: Mrs. S. Claus
