Students then translate into English.  4. Take away their work so far, leaving just the prompt sheets and write a paragraph in Indonesian.  5. The reading comprehension uses the same paragraphs.  6. The listening comprehension uses the same paragraphs.  media type="file" key="no5.mp3" width="240" height="20"media type="file" key="no6.mp3" width="240" height="20"media type="file" key="no7.mp3" width="240" height="20"media type="file" key="no8.mp3" width="240" height="20"  7.
