Expressing Facts
When we talk about facts, they can be expressed in any tense that is relevant to the time when the event of the fact happens. Facts are actual, indisputable case. So, when it is a general truth, we can express it using Simple Present Tense; when it happened in the past, we can use Past Tense; and when it happens in the future, we can use Future Tense. For example, from the dialog above, the three friends are talking about
underwater animals, hence a general truth. That’s why we find the sentences in Simple Present Tense such as:
1. The article says that the size can be 10 meters long; it’s as big as a school bus!
2. A giant squid is very unique.
3. The article suggests that a giant squid’s eyes are the size of a dinner plate.

Task 1:
Now, write sentences that express facts.
You can write facts about yourself or about the things that happen in the world.
Example
Topic : Orang Utan
General facts : Many Orang Utans lose their natural habitat because forests are turned into mining.
Facts about the past: In the past, Orang Utan lived freely because their natural habitats were well preserved.
Facts about the future : Government will attempt to protect Orang Utan’s life by building reservation areas

CHAPTER 2: WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?


OBSERVING AND QUESTIONING

Look at the following pictures.Discuss which ones are captions
drought happens everywhere


WHAT CAN WE DO TO THOSE CHILDREN?

  A caption, also known as a cutline, is text that appears below an image. Most captions draw attention to something in the image that is not obvious, such as its relevance to the text.
Captions can consist of a few words of description, or several sentences. Along with the title, the lead, and section headings, captions are the most commonly read words in an article, so they should be succinct and informative (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ManualofStyle/Captions).
  Captions also include a short title or heading of an article in a magazine or newspaper. Words shown on a cinema or television screen to establish the scene of a story are also called captions.
  There are several criteria for a good caption. A good caption clearly identifies the subject of the picture without detailing the obvious. It is succinct, establishes the picture's relevance to the article, provides context for the picture, and draws the reader into the article.

A note to remember:
There are several criteria for a good caption. A good caption clearly identifies the subject of the picture without detailing the obvious. It is succinct, establishes the picture's relevance to the picture, provides context for the picture, and draws the reader into the message. So related to the structure of a caption, it can be written in the form a word(s), a phrase(s) or a sentence(s).

I. Find 4 captions. Discuss with your friends by focusing on three things:
  1) whether they are good,

  3) what grammar is used
