Brumfit (1983 : 124) stated that making the synopsis of short story is likely to be more effective than learning sentence per sentence and it will make the students more creative than learning another reading text or scientific reading text. It happens because in short story, the author uses the simple words on to fulfill with the daily conversation. In writing synopsis of short story, the students should know how to make the content of the resume of the main point composition. In this case, the first step that students have to learn is to understand the story, either in implicitly or explicitly, if the students want to know how to make synopsis, they should be able to find out the meaning of the sentences of paragraph literary and the teaching behind the text. If they are able to comprehend the test or short story, they are automatically catching the idea of the short story.
Raimes said, “writing a synopsis of short story reinforces the students to use the aspect of language skills including structure, idiom and vocabulary which they have studied. But as a teacher we should be able to choose a short story that does not contain many idiomatic expressions in order to avoid the students checking the idiomatic expressions into dictionary” (Raimes, 1993:4) it means that as a teacher we must select the words or the content of the text carefully. We have to make a decision whether the short story is appropriate or not to be given to the students.
