Short Message

Pada pembelajaran kali ini, kita akan mempelajari salah satu materi yang sering muncul pada Ujian Nasional (UN) tingkat SMP, yaitu tentang short message.

Short message merupakan sebuah teks dalam bentuk pesan singkat yang biasa ditulis sewaktu mengirim SMS atau catatan singkat yang bisa diletakkan misalnya pada kulkas, dinding, papan tulis, atau sosial media terkait dengan berbagai aktivitas atau kejadian. Dari teks jenis ini berbagai keterampilan membaca bisa ditanyakan.

Beberapa topik yang sering dimunculkan dalam soal Ujian Nasional biasanya terkait dengan kegiatan sekolah maupun aktifitas keseharian yang meliputi beberapa hal berikut:

• Permintaan maaf
• Ucapan terima kasih
• Pemberitahuan aktivitas/kegiatan
• Penundaan Kegiatan (ekstrakurikuler, pembelajaran, kerja kelompok, dll)
• Pembatalan Kegiatan (ekstrakurikuler, pembelajaran, kerja kelompok, dll)

Yuk, coba kerjakan soal short message online untuk persiapan ulangan harian, PTS, PAS ataupun Ujian Nasional.
