THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIVITIES
3.1. Introduction
For about a month, the present writer conducted job training in Balai Bahasa Bandung as a reviewer. The present writer is interested in discuss a book review since the writer knows that it is very important in the educational field. However, it is not easy in making a book review. To solve it, strategies are necessary. There are two strategies that the present writer used in reviewing a book: reading and writing.
Reading becomes the first strategy in reviewing a book, because before reviewing we must understand first the whole contents of the book. This strategy will help the reviewer easier in handle the next process; that is writing process. While reading the writer has to mark the parts that will be quoted as the data: the important and interesting data based on the reviewer opinion.

among sentences for the answer to some questions you have.” Bazerman (1977) added that there are some steps in skimming.
There are:
1. Make sure that you know what information you are looking for. Ask yourself a question;
2. Move your eyes quickly from line to line and from sentence to sentence; 3. When you think you have found what you are looking for, stop;
4. Read slowly the part of the line or sentence that tells you what you want to know;
5. Think about the question you are trying to answer;
6. Does the information you have found answer the question? If not, quickly read passage again to look for the information you need;
In applying what Bazerman saying, there is an additional treatment when indigenous and foreign languages are involved in that review. It is realized that the involvement of indigenous and foreign languages may decrease the reading speed. However, there is no choice left. The present writer should figure out the meaning of that words before continuing reading.
Another strategy in reviewing a book is writing. Here are some strategies in writing based on the present writer’s experiences:
1. Before beginning writing, make a few notes about the points that you think essential or interesting;
11
3. Include a statement of what the author has tried to do;
4. When hard to begin writing, find a good place to get a concentration and try to focus; and
5. Choose a proper word and write a good sentence as attractive as possible so that the reader interested in reading our review.
3.2. The Application of The Strategies 3.2.1. Reading
In reading, time is being the main problem. A lot of times are needed to read and understand the whole content of the book. In addition, the data below, Data 1, strongly inhibits the reading process because of the involvement of indigenous language, Bahasa Jawa. The present writer needed so much time to understand it, because it is required to be translated into Indonesia before into English. The writer used a lot of references, such as English dictionary, Indonesian dictionary, online dictionary to find out the proper meaning, and asking the native, especially the native of Jawa who is able to speak Javanese.
