The story told about a shoe

last piece of leather. He decided to make the best shoes with it. When the
time was night, he put the shoe on the table. In the next day, when he opened
the workshop, he found something unbelievable. There was a pair of shoes on
the table where he had left his work. He sold it in the market and he bought
more leather. Then he started to cut the leather. As the day ended he left
home leaving the unfinished shoes. At dinner time, he told his wife about the
incident. His wife was so happy. In the next morning, when he returned to the
shop, he founds several pairs of beautiful shoes. He thought that someone
tried to help him. The shoemaker began to leave pieces out, ready for the
stranger’s beautiful hard worker. This went for weeks. Then, the shoemaker
and his wife have a plan to find out the stranger. In the afternoon, they hid
in the little closet. At midnight, They saw two cute little elves wearing

began to make shoes. They cut, sew, colored and decorated the shoes one by
one. After they have finished, they jumped out of the window and disappeared.

My experience related the
stories.
When I graduated from Senior
High School, I continued my study at IAIN Surakarta. But, before entering the
first semester, I have ever worked as a helper in the factory. I wanted help
my parents. I was very hard worker. Then, I resigned from that factory. I
started to study at the campus. So, I asked my mother for money every month. In
the second semester, I joined scholarship selection. And I was received. So,
my parents didn’t need to pay the semester costs. I hoped in the next
semester I would get the scholarship again.
But, in the sixth semester, I didn’t get the scholarship again. I was
so sad. I told my parents. Then, they smiled to me. They said that it was no
problem if I didn’t get the scholarship again. My parents would always hard
work and I would study harder. My parents remembered me to always be grateful
to God. If we want to be success, we should hard work in everything and don’t
forget to be grateful.

Significance for own English learning
|
From the video I can get new
vocabulary that I haven’t known before. And the vocabulary that I have
forgotten. So, I can recall my memories again. I learn the correct
pronunciation of each word and I studied about the good order of sentences.
So, I can improve my grammar knowledge.
