OWL CITY LYRICS

"Vanilla Twilight"

The stars lean down to kiss you

And I lie awake and miss you

Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly

But I'll miss your arms around me

I'd send a postcard to you, dear

Cause I wish you were here

I'll watch the night turn light blue

But it's not the same without you

Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn't so bad

Till I look at my hands and feel sad

Cause the spaces between my fingers

Are right where yours fit perfectly

I'll find repose in new ways

Though I haven't slept in two days

Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight

I'll sit on the front porch all night

Waist deep in thought because when

I think of you I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone

As many times as I blink

I'll think of you tonight

(Tonight, tonight, tonight...)

I'll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter

And heavy wings grow lighter

I'll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I'll forget the world that I knew

But I swear I won't forget you

Oh if my voice could reach back through the past

I'd whisper in your ear:

"Oh darling I wish you were here"

Teaching Vocabulary through Demonstrative Method for Young Learners

English is a compulsory subject in Indonesia which had been taught formally to Indonesian students since they were in Elementary High School up to college or university levels. There are two reasons why it has to be taught to the students in Indonesia. First, nowadays there are many books written in English, and second, there are many sources provide in English, such as internet, Yahoo, Google, and many others. 

English has been taught in Indonesia at Elementary school as one of the local content subjects. It is hoped that the students will learn and comprehend English as early as possible and can practice simple conversation. According to “Ministry of Natonal Education ”(1993), the aim of teaching English at Elementary School as follows: (1) “Siswa dapat memahami kata-kata dalam bahasa Inggris yang sering ditemukan dan digunakan dalam kehidupan sehari hari. (2) Siswa mampu berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Inggris secara sederhana”.

In communication, students need vocabulary which can support them to produces and use meaningful sentences because vocabulary provide organ of sentence. That’s why vocabulary is very important to be mastered. Jeremy Harmer (1991, 153) classifies that “Then it is vocabulary that provides the vital organs and flesh”. For that reason the students have to develop their vocabulary and master it in order to be able to communicate with other.

Learning English should include the four language skills, are: reading, listening, speaking, and writing. Furthermore, in language teaching there are 3 components that must be taught, namely grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Vocabulary is the most important component to master by student, because it is a basic ability to develop language skill. (Kasihani Suyanto 2008:43)

One of the methods which is suitable for children in learning vocabulary is Total Physical Response (TPR) method. James Asher (http:/www.tpr-world.com,1 ) stated that “use TPR method for new vocabulary and grammar, to help students immediately understand the target language in chunks rather than word-by-word. This instant success is absolutely thrilling for students”. It shows that using Total Physical Respond method is effective to help the students to learn the target language because the students practice directly using the vocabulary in real context. By doing so, the students can develop the storage of the vocabulary in a short time. Besides that Total Physical Respond method also helps the children to understand and memorize linguistic input because the children use body movement as media in the process of learning.

Here also the researcher related TPR in this research theory. Total Physical Response (TPR) is a method relies on the assumption that when learning a second or additional language, language is internalized through a process of codebreaking similar to first language development and that the process allows for a long period of listening and developing comprehension prior to production.

LIFE...

Life is a sacrifice, so hard to get the better. But, as long as we try so hard, we're going to make it. Here are some expression when I got the bad condition in my life. When I think something which is important to do, well I think that was so hard to reach. I've got the bad day,  never trust to my own self, always wanted to get out of this life. I knew what I did, that's so bad. I let my self gone without must to think so hard, whether I really need it. A spirit, yeah. That was the name "SPIRIT". Even, I have to ask to someone else, where should I buy a stuff called "SPIRIT", so hard to get it. Never felt this stuff can make me down 200 feet under the ground. But, I myself the only one who can raise it up....(to be continued)
