Task 1: Editing - Pair Work

Read the following description about a tourist destination carefully. The writer forgot to edit her draft. Can you find the errors in the text and help her edit the text?

For example, read carefully the fifth sentence in the following text. Can you find the errors in the sentence? Yes, waterfal and a bowl giant. The first error should be written waterfall because it was misspelled, and a bowl giant should be written giant bowl (remember how to make noun phrase). Now try to find the errors and try to correct them.

If you go to Batu city in East Java, do not forget to visit Cuban Rondo. Cuban Rondo is a must-see waterfall because of it spectacular scenery. The gigantic rock and its vegetation that surrounds the waterfal soar high into the sky. The top of the rock bends inward so that when we stand close to the waterfal, we will feel as if we were inside of a gigantic cave or a Bowl giant. The greatness of the nature will make you feel very small and price God The second scenery to enjoy is the charm of the waterfall itself. From the top of the soaring rock, huge amount water continuously falls down, splash on the large black stones at the bottom of the waterfall, and forms a shallow small lake and stream. The water in the lake and stream crystal clear and icy cold. The wind that blow the falling water and the splash produce millions of tiny droplets of water. The wind can blow your boat. The droplets covers the small lake and visitors in mist. Yes, you will get wet. But you can go to the mall. When the sunlight shine through the cold tiny droplets, you will see rainbows on the earth, not in the sky, that seems close enough to you the senery is breathtaking. End the trip with something that can warm you up. In the rest area, you can buy roasted sweet corns. If that is not enough, you can also buy drinks hot delicious and meatball soup hot. When you go home, leave nothing in the area but your footsteps and bring home only your memory unforgettabel about the
beautiful Cuban Rondo Waterfall.

Apa yang harus ia lakukan?". "Indentasi" yang dimaksud adalah " spasi " yang digunakan di awal penulisan untuk memisahkan tiap paragraf. Dapat dilihat pada teks tersebut, penulis tidak memperhatikan "indentasi" dan hanya menggunakannya pada awal penulisan. Seharusnya penulis menggunakan "indentasi" untuk memisahkan paragraf agar para pembaca dapat dengan mudah mendapatkan informasi yang disampaikan dari teks di atas. "Indentasi" yang harusnya dilakukan penulis setelah penggunaan di awal teks tersebut adalah pada kalimat " The second scenery to enjoy is the charm of the waterfall itself. " sampai kalimat " When the sunlight shine through the cold tiny droplets, you will see rainbows on the earth, not in the sky, that seems close enough to you the senery is breathtaking .
