Whom did you make the promise to

 What the promise was

Why you made the promise

Was the promise easy to achieve

Well, in my opinion, it is a common thing for us as human beings to make promises to each other. Today, I am going to share my experience when I made a promise to my mother. Well, actually it happened in 2012. At that time, I just started my year as a student at Institut Teknologi Bandung, one of the prestigious universities in Indonesia.

At that time, I promised my mother that I would try my best to finish my study at this university, specifically I told her that I would finish my study in four years. I could say that it was very hard for me to keep this promise because I failed in several courses. So that, sometimes I needed to retake the same courses in the other semesters. However, at the end of my study, I could manage my time well. Actually, I achieved a remarkable grade for my study at ITB and my mother was proud of me.

Recently, I’ve been making some promises to my mother especially promises that relate to my career. In December 2021, I promise my mother that I would buy her a new smartphone.

My self-correction :

1. Kata benda promises merupakan kata benda yang bisa bertindak sebagai countable dan uncountable
2. Collocation Kata kerja yang baik untuk kata benda promise adalah ....VERB + PROMISE : | give sb, make (sb), | fulfil, honour, keep | break, go back on |. Contoh kalimat :  You gave me your promise I could use the car tonight. I'll consider it, but I make no promises.  
3. I failed in several courses. Ini seharusnya tidak ada preposisi "in"
   
4. a remarkable grade. Bener sih ini, grade adalah kata benda countable.
