Congratulations, you have completed learning activity 1 about


narrative (folktales). The following are the important things in
narrative texts, authors use a variety of words to develop their
characters' traits and problems and the story's setting. To describe a
character who is typically sloppy, an author does not repeat the word
sloppy but creates a sense of this trait with words such as slovenly,
chaotic, and disorganized. The unknown words in narrative texts are
often synonyms for concepts you already have but are often words
that you have not encountered before. Since you are expected to
know more than 3.500 word level, the texts selected in this module
may use the ones you rarely hear use or hear.
