One night their mother dreamed met with her husband. Her husband said to her "Go to

dll.

Di bawah ini ada beberapa contoh teks procedure.

Caution Wet Floor
 

Artinya kira-kira "hati-hati, lantai basah" teks ini biasanya kita temui di
mall, bandara, convention hall, restoran, dan sebagainya. Tujuannya
adalah untuk mengingatkan orang-orang agar berhati-hati bahwa di situ
lantainya sedang basah karena habis dipel.

Please Do not Disturb

 

Artinya "Mohon jangan diganggu". Teks ini biasanya berbetuk sebuah

gantungan yang digantung pada pintu kamar hotel. Tanda ini
mengisyaratkan bahwa penghuni kamar tersebut sedang tidak ingin
diganggu.

 No Parking

Sign yang ini pasti dah tahu, artinya dilarang parkir. Ada tambahan kata any
time yang maksudnya tidak boleh parkir kapanpun. Trus tanda panah kanan
kiri menunjukkan pada kita bahwa larangan itu tidak hanya berlaku di
tempat rambu tersebut namun juga di sebelah kanan dan kiri hingga jarak
tertentu dari rambu tersebut
SHOPPING LIST

Shopping list artinya daftar belanjaan. Kalo yang ini nih kayaknya cocoknya
untuk orang yang sering lupa dengan rencana belanjanya. He..he…he…

 Jadi tujuannya adalah untuk mengingatkan (to remind)

VACANCY
INSTRUCTION
 

Instruction atau instruksi merupakan teks yang bertujuan untuk menunjukkan cara-cara
untuk melakukan sesuatu. Contoh lain seperti instruksi cara menyajikan mie instant yang
dicantumkan pada kemasannya.

INVITATION
 
Tujuan Invitation card adalah to invite 
 
RSVP itu adalah singkatan dari Bahasa Prancis yang berbunyi: "réspondez, s'il vous
plaît" artinya "mohon dibalas". Prancis menggunakan tata bahasa yang sopan untuk
permohonan. Di dunia barat, RSVP biasanya dicantumkan di bagian akhir sebuah
undangan. Pihak yang mengundang membutuhkan jawaban dari yang diundang apakah
dia bisa datang atau tidak. Jadi bukan hanya menjawab bila tidak bisa datang. Pihak yang
mengundang membutuhkan jawaban dari undangan ini untuk menentukan berapa jumlah
tamu yang hadir, sehingga bisa menentukan berapa makanan dan minuman yang akan
dipesan. Mungkin maksudnya biar nggak mubazir kali ya... beda dengan di Indonesia,
dimana kalo ada undangan pernikahan aja makanan dihitung dengan pola perhitungan
2,5xjumlah undangan. Menurut mereka lebih baik lebih ketimbang kurang... beda ya?
So, It means : We should contact first whether we can/cannot come.
Sekarang, mari kita balik lagi di Indonesia tentang RSVP ini. Contoh kasus iklan yang
saya lihat di jalanan. Memang masih nyambung dia meletakkan RSVP sebagai footer dari
iklannya. Karena iklan itu adalah undangan, dan bila ingin ikut silakan hubungi nomor
tersebut. Beda halnya dengan RSVP yang "asli" yaitu bila bisa datang harap nelp, dan
gak bisa dateng juga nelp. Tapi dalam kasus ini, RSVP lebih ke arah untuk melakukan
reservasi. Kenapa? Coba aja nelp ke nomor tersebut, trus bilang: "wah, maap pak/bu.
Saya nggak bisa memenuhi undangannya". Pasti dikira kita orang aneh

 I Would Do It for Love

Once upon a time in a far away land, lived two families called the Darlan family and the
Meissner family. The Darlan family had a daughter named Naya, while the Meissner
family had a son named Arman. Naya and Arman had been friends since childhood and
had lived in the country side for sixteen years of their life.

Unfortunately, one day, the Darlan family was called upon by the king as the family's
men were very fine blacksmiths. The Darlan family had to move to the town because of
the Kings demand. So Naya and Arman for the first time said goodbye to each other.
Secretly, Arman vowed to work hard so that he could also work in town and finally meet
Naya again.

Two years later, Arman had mastered some skills he thought he could put in good use in
the town. Fulfilling his promise, he traveled to town and started to search for Naya. It was
not a hard task, Naya's father had been granted the title of Duke by the King! Hurriedly,
he visited Naya's own castle, but to his dismay, Naya did not want to meet him. "Maybe
she is busy," he said to himself.

His determination to meet Naya did not waver, Arman found work as a builder in town.
Each day, after work he would visit Naya's castle, but each day Naya refused to meet
him. A few weeks passed by, Arman became sick, sick because he could not meet the
childhood friend he so dearly loved. He had abandoned his work, making his friends he
made at the working place concerned.

"Go and meet him once again Arman! Maybe this time you will be in luck!" said one.

"No. Maybe I was putting too much hope for her to love me. After all, we were just
childhood friends."
His friends decided to visit Naya's castle themselves, to tell her that Arman his childhood
friend, who fell in love with her is in an ill state. To their surprise, Naya agreed to meet
them and heared that Arman was sick.

"Tell him to go to the forest and find a wooden house," said Naya.

"And after that? What should he do my Lady?" asked one of Arman's friend.

"He will find the answer once he finds the house," answered Naya mysteriously.

The friends came back to Arman and told him about the happy news. Arman suddenly
stood up from his bed and felt refreshed as though nothing has happened before.

The next day Arman journeyed to the forest and found the wooden house Naya had
mentioned. An old lady, with hideous boils on her face, crooked body, and white tangled
hair that was very filthy greeted Arman.

"Excuse me, is Lady Naya here? She told me to come here," asked Arman.

"No, Lady Naya is not here. But she left a message I must tell you," said the old lady with
a croaky voice.

"What is it?"

"She said, if you really love her, you must prove it. And to prove it, you must marry me!"

Because of his love, the love he had felt since childhood for Naya, Arman did not hesitate
to answer.

"If that is what she wants, I would do it. I would do it for love!"

Suddenly, the old lady wailed and ran towards a small lake in front of the house. She
bathed her face with water and to Arman's surprise, it was Nayna staring back at him. She
had cleaned the make up she was wearing and pulled of the wig she also wore to disguise
herself as an old lady.

"Arman, I was only testing you. And now I know what I must do. I will share the rest of
my life with you. Because, because I would do it for love!"

Arman was very happy that Naya had the same feelings for him. And so, they lived
happily ever after.

Moral value: True love is very hard to find, to show it is even harder
