- Interrogative statements using Wh-questions (what is your name?)
- Interrogative statements using yes/no questions (do like London?)
- Alternative questions with answer choices (do like tea or coffee?)

2- Directive function: giving orders or making requests by using imperative statements. An imperative statements may express a strict demand such as saying (open the door) or it can seem less demanding by using the politeness strategy such as saying (open the door, please) or through using question tags in the case of informality between mother and son (Max the TV is still on!)
3- Expressive function: to express personal feelings, thoughts, ideas and opinions, with different choice words, intonation, etc. These expressions are submissive to social factors and to the nature of the expression as negative (I'm very gloomy tonight) or positive (I'm feeling very good today).

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EXTENSIVE READING ACTIVITY IN INCREASING READING COMPREHENSION AND READING SPEED OF ENGLISH TEXTS
ABSTRACT
Busthomi, Nanang Rohmat, 2009.
The Effectiveness of Extensive Reading
Activity in Increasing Reading Comprehension and Reading Speed of English Text
in the Ninth Grade Students of MTs Negeri Pamekasan 1.
Key words: extensive reading activity,
reading comprehension, reading speed.

effectiveness of extensive reading activity in increasing reading comprehension
and reading speed. The major questions to be answered were:
(1) "Do the ninth grade students of
MTs Negeri Pamekasan 1 who are given additional extensive reading activity
achieve higher reading comprehension compared to the students who are not given
additional extensive reading activity?"
(2) "Do the ninth grade students of
MTs Negeri Pamekasan 1 who are given additional extensive reading activity

the uniqueness of English blending words
Today is the anniversary of the opening of the Chunnel, the tunnel that
runs under the English Channel connecting France and England. In 1994,
the 31 mile Chunnel was formally opened in a ribbon cutting ceremony by
France's President Mitterrand and the Queen of England.
It took eight years to complete the Chunnel, but its name is consistent with a linguistic phenomenon that raged throughout the 20th century, and it doesn't look like there is a light at the end of the tunnel this century. The phenomenon is blending words, as in taking two words: channel and tunnel, and blending them into a single word: Chunnel.
