CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
B. Suggestion
The researcher then offers some suggestions to the teachers, students and the other researcher:
1. The teachers should motivate their students in learning transition signals especially about the function of each kind of transition. They also should give the way to identify the use of time order. They can give more exercises and examples of English sentences especially in using transition signals of narrative paragraph.
2. In teaching learning process, the students should be active and ask everything about the use of transition signals in narrative paragraph. They have to know that in learning about time order, they should understand deeply about the differences and functions of every item of transition signals, they also should know meaning of transition signals. In other words, they should study hard and seriously in learning English especially in using transition signals.
3. For the next researchers, they can use this writing as the reference and make the better research about students‟ difficulties with the others topics or material.

Let me tell you the story about a woman named Jyll and a friend of hers called Jack. The 1.__________ thing that happened was that Jyll was running out of fresh water at her cabin. She decided she would have to walk into town to pick up some fresh spring water. 2.__________ she left she wanted to contact her neighbour, Jack, to let him know she would be out of the area for the day. 3.__________ she left the cabin, she grabbed the old wooden pail. 4.__________ she would use it as a signal to Jack that she was absent from the cabin. She tied a rope around the handle of the pail and 5.__________ was able to toss the pail up into the air and over the giant arbutus tree next to the cabin. High up there it could be seen by Jack while he stood on the porch of his cabin down the road. He would know she was away from the cabin. This was a safety measure. Jyll 6.__________ went off to town for the spring water not knowing that Jack had gone tumbling down. 7.__________ that day, it was discovered what had happened. 8.__________ Jyll had gone to fetch the pail for water, she hadn’t noticed Jack coming around the bend in the forest path.
9.__________ the doctor and police were able to reconstruct the scene of the crime.

play at being neighbours, but Jack won’t go near the water pail.
