CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Background

Language is very important in human life. Language is means of

communications. Without a language, a person cannot communicate with others.

English is a language in the world. People call it a international language. English

is now becoming one of the most popular languages that is wished to be mastered.

It is wished by many people over the world coming from other countries,

especially people who are not using English as their colloquial language such as,

Indonesian, Japanese, Thailand, Korean and etc.

In a modern world with full of challenges and competition, everyone is

advised not only have a high level of education, but also required special skills

that we commonly call 'skill'. One of the 'skills' most needed today is English. In

accordance with the above explanation, English is the global language, then for

those who want a step ahead of people in general, need to have to master English.

However, as we all know that in the learning process we will find

difficulties such as studying grammar, less vocabulary, and lack of practices.

Thus, a simple way we can do is always practice and familiarize ourselves to use

the English language all the times, such as by talking with our friends, talking to

ourselves in the mirror or the better way is if we can talk directly with a native

speaker.

The most interesting way is if we could practice English with native

speakers directly because there we will be to check our English, we will know

how to pronounce words in a correct pronunciation. But the problem now is, find

a native speaker in the our districts, especially in Palangkaraya will be a little

more difficult. One of the ways that we can do to overcome this problem is visit

some regions that the native speakers are commonly there.

Bali, for example, is one of the most famous districts in Indonesia that the

native speakers usually go on vocation. By going there we may be able to practice

our English directly with the native speakers. Besides that, we will also be able to

enjoy our trip since at Bali is well-known of it has amazing views and places.
