Then, the tutor blog will share the link to help the learner to learn by self using weblog. Also, the tutor will share their information about the syllabus.

Holy City, Kudus

Holy city, Kudus, is a wonderful place to stay.  First, there are two historical places. For example, we can visit Kretek Museum and The Tower of Sunan Kudus. In Kretek Museum, we can see Joglo House and also historical objects. Next, there are so many traditional food that you can try. There are special food such as Jenang Kudus, Nasi Tahu Gimbal, and Lentog. I suggest you to buy all the special food in Kudus, because it is delicious food and the price is cheap. In addition, the town square in Kudus is a beautiful place that you can visit, because there is a good park to do your sport activities.

Greetings

Hi, my name is Anne Christabella Santoso, but you can call me Anne. I was born on December 13, 1997 in Kudus. I was graduated from Masehi Senior High School. After I graduated, I choose to study at Satya Wacana Christian University. Also I entered in Faculty of Language and Arts. I didn't know why I chose this faculty, but my mother really want me to enter this faculty. Because she wanted me to be an English teacher. Since I was child, my mom entered me to English course. Now, I realize that English is my favorite lesson. It's just a little story about me.

When I studied in this faculty, I got some challenge in my class. I should do the activities in my reading class and writing class. I also should be able to speak in English properly. Then, I really nervous if I should stand in front of my friends to present my presentation. Then, I ever write an essay. It was really difficult for me. Because I should find the thesis statement and write with the right way. When I write something, I should use grammar. However, I am not really good at grammar.

My expectations in writing are I want to write with a good grammar. I hope I can fix my problems in writing, and I can improve my writing's skill. I expect that I can use other word to make my writing become interesting. Also, I want make the readers not confusing with my writing.
