Contoh Soal Describing events in the past

Contoh Soal Describing events in the past - Describing events in the past is very common in our daily lives. We sometimes do it when telling story to a friend, do any homework or other school-works related with delivering any events in the past, answer the question or request to tell any event happened before etc. As what we have in some previous lessons, make sure your description on any past event suitable with the context or as needed and properly.

Take a look at this following conversation: 
X: Can you tell me what really happened at class yesterday? 
Y: Yes, only a little bit I know.
X: No problem, just tell me. 
Y: One of our classmates was sleeping during the lesson and teacher found him. 
X: Which teacher?
Y: The mathematics’ teacher. 
X: Wow. Then what happened next?
Y: The teacher awakened the student and punished him a big and hard punishment.
X: Thank you so much

You can see that in requesting or asking someone to describe any events in the past, the expression must be clear and unambiguous. Mentioning the class and yesterday shows the clearness so the second person didn’t have to ask anymore. Moreover, the expression must be polite and suitable with the context, as the above conversation happens between two classmates. In other certain contexts, you don’t have to tell any event in detail description when, for example, telling it in front of the class. However, you have to give full and clear description in some important occasions, such as police investigation, answering important request or serious question etc. Additionally, remind yourself that a good description mainly consists of five-senses wording such as beautiful (for sight), soft (for feeler), fragrance (for smelling), sweet (for tasting) and melodious (for hearing).

Other than that, the first person must be communicative because he/she is an asker of the information so he/she must speak nicely and not too insisting because the second person may be reluctant to describe any event due to various reasons. Meanwhile, if you are the second person or those who receive request to describe any event in the past, tell any information you know as clear as possible but keep being polite and firm. For example, if you are asked about a secret event especially regarding with someone else, you must be wise responding your interlocutor whether by telling him/her as simple as possible or by not telling anything at all. In short, no matter what position you are in it, make sure you behave properly and politely. Never insist others to tell any event in the past and give good and polite responses for those who ask you to tell any story of the past.
