The Comparison of Destination Export between New Zealand and Australia

I summarize a video in Writing IV, which is about Pie Chart. As I see from the video, pie charts is a circle/pie that contains percentage about something. In the video, there are two pie charts, which explain and compare about the destination export of New Zealand and Australia. The destination export is about goods of each country in 2008. Several things can be compared between the charts. First, the major destination export of each country. The major destination export of New Zealand is Australian (37.8 %), but the major destination export of Australia is Japan (32.9 %). Second, the minor destination export of each country. The minor destination export of New Zealand is UK (8.1 %), but the minor destination export of Australia is US (9.9 %). The last, New Zealand has destination export from four continents (Asia, America, Europe, and Australia), but Australia only has destination export from two continents (Asia, and America). Then, each country also has some different and same countries to be the destination export. Those are my comparison about the two pie charts, which explain about destination export of New Zealand and Australia.

MY RESEARCH PROPOSAL

My research proposal entitled “Increasing Students’ Speaking Ability Though Role-Play Technique”. In the other hand, there were also several research proposals, which have the same title with my proposal, but my research proposal will be different with others. Now, I will differentiate my research proposal with one of them. I will differentiate my research proposal with Faizal’s research proposal. You can see Faisal’s research proposal by accessing this link http://www.pakfaizal.web.id/2012/07/improving-students-speaking-ability.html

These are the differences between my research proposal and Faisal’s Research Proposal:

1.      Faisal’s research proposal was conducted in Lamongan regency, East Java, but my research proposal will conduct in Gorontalo.

2.      Faisal’s research proposal was conducted in Madrasah Aliyah Sunan Drajat Sugio-Lamongan grade XI, but my research proposal will conduct at one Junior High School in Gorontalo.

3.      Faisal’s research was conducted on July 28th to August 16th, 2008, but my research will conduct on October 2012.

4.      Faisal applied the Role-Play technique by collaborating with an English teacher in Madrasah Aliyah Sunan Drajat Sugio-Lamongan, but I myself will apply it, without collaborating with other teacher.

5.      In my research, students should make their own dialogues in groups because teacher will only give and arrange stories.

6.      In my research, teacher can involve into the students’ performance, so students can speak naturally and make their own improvisation.

7.      In my research, teacher will give newest issues to be performed by students.

Those are differences between my research proposal and Faisal’s Research Proposal.
