The example of narrative text

“mantu”

Little Mantu lived in a village deep in the jungle
where elephants helped the men with their work.
These elephants were so big and strong. They could
lift up the heaviest logs with their trunks and toss
them high in the air.
Now, Mantu had an elephant of his very own. His
name was Opie. He was just a baby and Mantu loved
him very much. Mantu whispered to Opie’s ear that
someday he would become the biggest, strongest and
bravest elephant in the jungle. The other elephants
heard this. They began to laugh and made rude noises
with their trunks. “We’re so big and tall, but you’re
so small. You’re nothing at all,” said one of the big
elephants.
Mantu looked up at the huge elephant with a
mishievous glint in his eye. “You’re so tall and can
see far away. We can see what is happening down
here in the jungle. In fact, we would be the �� rst to see
any slithering snakes that may be a danger. “After
hearing the word snakes, the elephants screeched
and off they gwents thundering in fright.
“Did I say there were snakes?” giggled Mantu. “No,
I don’t think so,” smiled Opie. Mantu then climbed upon
his little friend’s back and went home to the village to tell
everyone about the foolish elephants.

The exaample of the expository text

The influence of award or punishment

Whether award or punishment can give an influence to me when I study. I will be motivated to learn more one lesson when there’s an award to my result. On the contrary, I will be down, even I will hate the lesson, when there is a kind of punishment

when I was in junior high school, I got a really great mark for my English exam and my teacher gave me some compliments and invited me to be the member of English Club in my school (I consider it is a kind of award). Then, I became more enthusiastic to learn more diligent to went to school . While in chemistry, the teacher often gave some punishment to the students who came late or got a bad mark by giving so many assignments and saying something unpleasant to hear. So, I do not like chemistry lesson and not really understand the material until now.

 In conclusion, I learn more when I am awarded because I feel appreciated and I learn less when I am punished because I feel that my hard work is useless.
