ABSTRACT
Dalam masa magang saya, saya mendapat kesulitan dalam
menuliskan rekaman ceramah Bahasa Inggris mengenai musik klasik. Saya tidak dapat menyelesaikan transkripsi saya karena ada beberapa kata yang tidak dapat saya tangkap. Ada beberapa alasan mengapa saya mendapat kesulitan dalam menuliskan beberapa bagian dari rekaman tersebut. Penyebabnya adalah karena saya tidak tahu beberapa istilah dalam musik klasik, adanya musik latar yang
mengganggu saat mendengarkan rekaman, dan saya tidak mengenali beberapa kata Bahasa Inggris yang diucapkan oleh pembicara
rekaman tersebut. Akibatnya saya tidak dapat menangkap beberapa kata, transkripsi saya jadi tidak akurat, dan saya menjadi stress karena pekerjaan saya yang tidak selesai.
Setelah melakukan penelitian, saya mempunyai tiga solusi potensial untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan ini. Pertama, saya harus
meningkatkan kosakata saya dengan membaca buku berbahasa Inggris tentang musik klasik. Kedua, saya harus mendengarkan
rekaman tersebut berulang kali. Ketiga, saya harus pindah ke ruangan yang sepi dan mengerjakan pekerjaan saya sendirian.

INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study
Nowadays, English becomes more and more important for not only daily life but also business fields, due to the fact that most of people who work in business fields deal with English every day. According to
Trimborn, English is a global language for doing business (par. 4). One of the business fields that use English is radio field. Maestro is one of the radio stations that often uses English material for broadcasting. That is one of the reasons why I choose to have an internship at Radio Maestro. I would like to learn more about practical English in radio area. During my internship, I had to transcribe English recordings about classical music. The most difficult problem that I had was when I
transcribed the recordings, I could not catch some words although I had already played the recordings many times.

CONCLUSION
During my internship, I had difficulty in transcribing English lecture recording. I could not finish the transcription because there were some words that I cannot catch. There are some reasons why I have difficulty in transcribing the recording. The causes of my problem are lacking of
classical music terms and some English words, and distraction from music background. There are three effects of my problem; namely, there are some missing words in my transcription, the result is not accurate, and I get stressed.
After doing research about my difficulty in transcribing English lecture recording, I have three potential solutions to solve it. First, I have to improve my vocabulary by reading English books about classical music. The potential positive effects of the first solution are that I will know more about classical music, I can understand the words, and I can complete the missing words. The potential negative effects of the first solution are losing my focus, becoming boring, and being sleepy. Second, I have to keep listening to the recording. The potential positive effects of the second solution are making corrections, completing the transcription, and

solution are that it makes me frustrated, and I still cannot catch some words. Third, I should move to a silent room and work alone. The potential positive effects of the third solution are more concentration, no
distractions, and I can identify the words easier. The potential negative effects of the third solution are no chatting, being lonely, and stressful. In this chapter I would like to analyze the best solution for my problem. The best solution is to combine all the solutions that I have stated in the previous chapter. I will explain the reason why it is necessary to combine all the potential solutions in the following paragraphs.
First, I will improve my vocabulary by reading English book about classical music. I have to learn more about classical music in order that I can be familiar with the terms. This can help me to widen my knowledge in classical music; therefore, I can catch what the speaker says. When I know more about classical music and its terms, it will be easier for me to understand and identify what the speaker says in the recording.
Combining all solutions minimizes the potential negative effects and maximizes the potential positive effects. Therefore, I will do my job better, and use my time effectively.
