Understanding Types of Text


Text can be classified into several types. The term of 'type' is
sometime stated as 'genre'. These types of text are;
1. Analytical Exposition
8. Explanation
2. Anecdote
9. Hortatory Exposition
3. Descriptive
10. Report
4. Narrative
11. Spoof
5. Procedure
12. Recount
6. News Items
13. Review
7. Discussion
These classification on type of text are based on analysis of three
main elements of text. These elements of text are:
The purpose of the text; why is the text made?, what is text made for
by its writer
The generic structure of the text; analyzing the used structure in
composing the text, in what way is the text constructed by its writer.
The language feature; taking a look at the linguistic characterizations
of the text, what kind of language feature is used to build the text by
its writer.

1. Analytical Exposition Text


What is Analytical Exposition?
1. Definition of Analytical Exposition
Exposition is a text that elaborates the writers idea about the
phenomenon surrounding. Its social function is to persuade the
reader that the idea is important matter.
2. Generic Structure of Analytical Exposition
Thesis: Introducing the topic and indicating the writers position
Argument 1: Explaining the argument to support the writers
position
Argument 2: Explaining the other arguments support the writers
position more
Reiteration: Restating the writers position
3. Language Features of Analytical Exposition
Using relational process
Using internal conjunction
Using causal conjunction
Using Simple Present Tense
4. Examples and structures of the text

Thesis

s

Reiteratio
n

Cars should be banned in the city. As we all know,


cars create pollution, and cause a lot of road deaths and
other accidents.
Firstly, cars, as we all know, contribute to most of the
pollution in the world.
Cars emit a deadly gas that causes illnesses such as
bronchitis, lung cancer, and triggers off asthma. Some
of these illnesses are so bad that people can die from
them.
Secondly, the city is very busy. Pedestrians wander
everywhere and cars commonly hit pedestrians in the
city, which causes them to die. Cars today are our roads
biggest killers.
Thirdly, cars are very noisy. If you live in the city, you
may find it hard to sleep at night, or concentrate on your
homework, and especially talk to someone.
In conclusion, cars should be banned from the city for
the reasons listed.

Example of Analytical Exposition


A. Is Smoking Good for Us?
Before we are going to smoke, it is better to look at the fact.
About 50 thousands people die every year in Britain as direct
result of smoking. This is seven times as many as die in road
accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers die because of diseases
caused by smoking.
Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we
smoke five cigarettes a day, we are six times more likely to die of
lung cancer than a non smoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a
day, the risk is nineteen greater. Ninety five percent of people
who suffer of bronchitis are people who are smoking. Smokers are
two and half times more likely to die of heart disease than non
smokers.
Additionally, children of smoker are more likely to develop
bronchitis and pneumonia. In one hour in smoky room, non
smoker breathes as much as substance causing cancer as if he
had smoked fifteen cigarettes.
Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because they
do make much money from smoking habit. Smoking however is
not good for every body else.
Notes on the generic structure:
From the generic structure, what make big different is that
analytical exposition ends with paragraph to strengthen the thesis
while hortatory makes a recommendation for readers.
SMA Students Modul of English

Thesis: This pre-conclusive paragraph states the writers point of


view about the topic discussed. Writer has show himself in clear
position of the discussed topic. Paragraph 1 is the thesis of this
analytical exposition text. It states the fact of the very fatal
impact of the smoking habit. Clearly the writer wants to say that
smoking is not a good habit.
Arguments: Presenting arguments in analytical exposition text is
as important as giving conflict plot in narrative text. The series of
argument will strengthen the thesis stated before. In this example
of analytical exposition text, paragraph 2 and 3 are the detail
arguments presented in a reporting fact to support that smoking
is not good even for smokers themselves. Furthermore, people
who do not smoke but they are in smoky area have the bad effect
too from the smoking habit.
Reiteration: This end paragraph actually is restating the thesis. It
is something like conclusive paragraph from the previous
arguments. The last paragraph of this example of analytical
exposition points again that smoking is not good for smokers and
people around smokers. However smoking is very good for
Cigarette Companies
B. Opportunity in the Global Financial Crisis
US financial crisis and its contagion to Europe and the rest of
the world could also create new opportunity for Indonesia in term
of foreign direc investment and the development of basic
infrastructure.
As the US, financial crisis has now spread to Europe, the oilrich countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Arab Emirate
which have accumulated hundreds of billion of Dollars in their
foreign reserve, are now reviewing their holding or investment
vehicle. They are looking for more diversified investment outside
the US and Europe.
Because of unfavorable political developments in Thailand
and Malaysia over the past few months, Indonesia which has
largely Muslim population could become one of these oil-rich
countries' favorite place for foreign direct investment. That wil be
true if the conditions, legal and market infrastructures are
conducive for Islamic financial instruments.
The government had improved the legal framework with the
recent actment of laws on sharia banking and bonds. The long
term nature of Islamic bonds could make them the most suitable
investment instrument for Indonesia, as these bonds grant an
investor a share in an asset along with the cash flows and risks
commensurate with such ownership.
The financial crisis that has gripped the globe and weakening
economic growth in the rest of the world will serve to the
SMA Students Modul of English

government to accelerate the investment reform measures in


order to grab the hidden opportunity in the global crisis.

C. Laptop as Students' Friend

Conventionally, students need


book, pen, eraser, drawing book, ruler
and such other stuff. Additionally, in
this multimedia era, students need
more to reach their progressive
development. Students need mobile
keyboards to record every presented
subject easily. Of course it will need
more cost but it will deserve for its
function.

First, modern schools tend to


apply fast transferring knowledge
because the school needs to catch the
target of curriculum. Every subject will
tend to be given in demonstrative
method. Consequently students need
extra media cover the subject. Since
there is a laptop on every students
desk, this method will help student to
get better understanding.
Secondly, finding an appropriate
laptop is not difficult as it was.
Recently there is an online shop which
provides comprehensive information.
The best is that the shop has service of
online shopping. The students just
need to brows that online shop, decide
which computer or laptop they need, and then complete the

SMA Students Modul of English

transaction. After that the laptop will be delivered to the students'


houses. That is really easy and save time and money.
From all of that, having mobile computer is absolutely useful
for students who want to catch the best result for their study.
Buying laptop online is advisable because it will cut the price. This
online way is recommended since online shop also provides
several laptop types. Students just need to decide which type
they really need.
D. Career in Translation

Functionally, translation is transferring the message or the


meaning and not the word. According to Nida, such translation is
called dynamic equivalence translation. It tries to bring the
precise message in different language.
Many people like to watch Hollywood movie but many get
trouble in understanding to the actors' dialogue. So the way they
get the understanding about the movie is reading the translating
text running. If Hindi translation is provided, it will bring the better
understanding for Indian moviegoer. Hollywood movie spread over
other Asia countries. Therefore, Arabic translation, Indonesian
translation and Farsi translation are widely needed and that is a
big chance for English master in that countries.
India is likely being an English speaking country. India
translation will grow better and. It seems Indonesia, Malaysia and
Filipina will reach that mark too soon. Translation job will be great
in amount and that is good development for translating job
seekers.

Example of Narative
A. Queen of Arabia and Three Sheiks
Maura, who like to be thought of as the most beautiful and powerful
queen of Arabia, had many suitors. One by one she discarded them,
until her list was reduced to just three sheiks. The three sheiks were all
equally young and handsome. They were also rich and strong. It was
very hard to decide who would be the best of them.
One evening, Maura disguised herself and went to the camp of the
three sheiks. As they were about to have dinner, Maura asked them for
something to eat. The first gave her some left over food. The second
Sheik gave her some unappetizing camels tail. The third sheik, who was
called Hakim, offered her some of the most tender and tasty meat. After
dinner, the disguised queen left the sheiks camp.
The following day, the queen invited the three sheiks to dinner at
her palace. She ordered her servant to give each one exactly what they
had given her the evening before. Hakim, who received a plate of
delicious meat, refused to eat it if the other two sheiks could not share it
with him.
This Sheik Hakims act finally convinced Queen Maura that he was
the man for her. Without question, Hakim is the most generous of you
she announced her choice to the sheiks. So it is Hakim I will marry.

B. The Smartest Parrot
Once upon time, a man had a
wonderful parrot. There was no other
parrot like it. The parrot could say every
word, except one word. The parrot would
not say the name of the place where it was
born. The name of the place was Catano.
The man felt excited having the
smartest parrot but he could not
understand why the parrot would not say
Catano. The man tried to teach the bird to
say Catano however the bird kept not
saying the word.
At the first, the man was very nice to
the bird but then he got very angry. You
stupid bird! pointed the man to the parrot.
Why cant you say the word? Say Catano!
Or I will kill you the man said angrily.
Although he tried hard to teach, the parrot
would not say it. Then the man got so
angry and shouted to the bird over and
over; Say Catano or Ill kill you. The bird
kept not to say the word of Catano.
One day after he had been trying so
many times to make the bird say Catano,
the man really got very angry. He could not
bear it. He picked the parrot and threw it
into the chicken house. There were four old
chickens for next dinner You are as stupid
as the chickens. Just stay with them Said
the man angrily. Then he continued to
humble; You know, I will cut the chicken

17

for my meal. Next it will be your turn, I will eat you too, stupid parrot.
After that he left the chicken house.
The next day, the man came back to the chicken house. He opened
the door and was very surprised. He could not believe what he saw at
the chicken house. There were three death chickens on the floor. At the
moment, the parrot was standing proudly and screaming at the last old
chicken; Say Catano or Ill kill you.

to it. That was the smartest parrot.
C. The Legend of Toba Lake
Once upon time, there was a handsome man. His name was Batara
Guru Sahala. He liked fishing. One day, he caught a fish. He was
surprised to find out that the fish could talk. The fish begged him to set
it free.

was free, the fish changed into a very beautiful woman. She attracted
Batara Guru so much. He felt in love with that fish-woman. The woman
wanted to marry with him and said that Batara Guru had to keep the
secret which she had been a fish. Batara Guru aggreed and promised
that he would never tell anybody about it.
They were married happily. They had two daughters. One day
Batara Guru got very angry with his daughter. He could not control his
mad. He shouted angrily and got the word of fish to his daugters. The

D. Cinderella 1
Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She
lived with her step mother and two step sisters.
The step mother and sisters were conceited and bad tempered.
They treated Cinderella very badly. Her step mother made Cinderella do
the hardest works in the house; such as scrubbing the floor, cleaning
the pot and pan and preparing the food for the family. The two step
sisters, on the other hand, did not work about the house. Their mother
gave them many handsome dresses to wear.
One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that
the kings son was going to give at the palace. They were excited about
this and spent so much time choosing the dresses they would wear. At
last, the day of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella
could not help crying after they had left.
Why are crying, Cinderella? a voice asked. She looked up and saw
her fairy godmother standing beside her, because I want so much to go
to the ball said Cinderella. Well said the godmother,youve been
such a cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I am going to see
that you do go to the ball.
Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach
and mice into a coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped
Cinderellas raged dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful ball
gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. Now,
Cinderella, she said; You must leave before midnight. Then away she
drove
in
her
beautiful
coach.
Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and
again with the kings son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve,
she ran toward the door as quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of her
glass slipper was left behind.
A few days later, the king son proclaimed that he would marry the
girl whose feet fitted the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the
slipper but it was too small for them, no matter how hard they squeezed
their toes into it. In the end, the kings page let Cinderella try on the
slipper. She stuck out her foot and the page slipped the slipper on. It
fitted perfectly.
Finally, she was driven to the palace. The kings son was overjoyed
to see her again. They were married and live happily ever after.

One day, a tiger saw the farmer and his buffalo working in the field.
The tiger was very surprised to see a big animal listening to a small
animal. The tiger wanted to know more about the big animal and the
small animal.
After the man went home, the tiger spoke to the buffalo; you are so
big and strong. Why do you do everything the man tells you? The
buffalo answered; oh, the man is very intelligent.
The tiger asked; can you tell me how intelligent he is?. No, I cant
tell you, said the buffalo; but you can ask him
So the next day the tiger asked to the man; Can I see your
intelligence?. But the man answered; it at home. Can you go and
get it? asked the tiger. Yes said the man; but I am afraid you will kill
my buffalo when I am gone. Can I tie you to a tree?
After the man tied the tiger to the tree, he didnt go home to get his

B. Writing For Business


Writing something for your business can be pretty intimidating.
Well, you don't have to.
Here's a simple checklist to follow. I'm not saying that following
these rules will make your company the next Google, but it will help.
Firstly, take the topic of benefits, not features. Your customers don't
care about you. They want to know "What's in it for me?"
Secondly, write your benefit like you talk it. Use regular words. Read
aloud what you've written. How does it sound?

SMA Students Modul of English

22

Thirdly, lose the weak words. Don't describe how your company
may, might or should help customers but talk about how your company
will.
Fourthly, Use a nice rhythm. Some sentences are long and some are
short. Mix them up and keep things interesting.
Fifthly,re-read what you've done before publishing. Edit it necesarily.
It's so easy to make mistakes which you don't notice the first time
through.

The Advantage and Disadvantage of Nuclear Power

Nuclear power is generated by using uranium which is a metal


mined in various part of the world. The first large scale of nuclear power
SMA Students Modul of English

27

station was opened at Calder Hall in


Cumbria, England in 1956.
Some military ships and submarines
have nuclear power plant for engine.
Nuclear power produces around 11% of the
world's energy needed, and produces huge
amounts of energy. It cause no pollution as
we would get when burning fossil fuels. The
advantages of nuclear plant are as follow:
It costs about the same coal, so it is not
expansive to make.
It does not produce smoke or carbon
dioxide, so it does not contribute to the
greenhouse effect.

It produces huge amounts of energy from


small amount of uranium.

It produces small amount of waste.

It is reliable.

On the other hand, nuclear power is


very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up
and buried for many years to allow the
radioactivity to die away. Furthermore,
although it is reliable, a lot of money has to
be spent on safety because if it does go
wrong, a nuclear accident ca be a major
accident.
People are increasingly concerned
about this matter. In the 1990's nuclear
power was the fastest growing source of
power in many parts of the world.

At the mill the bark of the logs is removed and the


logs are taken to a chipper which cuts them into small
pieces called woodchips.
The woodchips are then screened to remove dirt and
other impurities.
At this stage they are either exported in this form or
changed into pulp by chemicals and heat.
The pulp is then bleached and the water content is
removed.

Closing

Finally the pulp is rolled out to make paper.

Example of Explanation Text


A. Tsunami
The term of tsunami comes from the Japanese which means
harbour ("tsu") and wave ("nami"). A tsunamigk is a series of waves
SMA Students Modul of English

30

generated when water in a lake or the sea is


rapidly displaced on a massive scale.
A tsunami can be generated when the
sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically
displaces the overlying water. Such large
vertical movements of the earth's crust can
occur at plate boundaries.
Subduction of earthquakes are
particularly effective in generating tsunamis,
and occur where denser oceanic plates slip
under continental plates.
As the displaced water mass moves
under the influence of gravity to regain its
equilibrium, it radiates across the ocean like
ripples on a pond.
Tsunami always bring great damage.
Most of the damage is caused by the huge
mass of water behind the initial wave front, as
the height of the sea keeps rising fast and
floods powerfully into the coastal area.

B. How Day and Night Happen


The sun seems to rise in the morning,
crosses the sky during the day and sets at
night. However the sun does not actually
move around the earth. Earth's turning on its
axis makes it look as if the sun is moves.
The earth makes a complete turn on its
axis for 24 hours. It is called as rotation. It
causes day and night. The earth also moves
around the sun. It takes 365 days or a year.
This process is called revolution. The
revolution process causes the changes of the
season

C. Why Summer Daylight is Longger than


Winter Daylight
In the summer, the amount of daylight that we get is more than we
get in winter. This is not because as much people think we are closer to
the sun but because of the tilt of the earth.
The earth is actually closer to the sun in winter than it is in summer
but you would be forgiven for thinking that this can not be true after
looking out of your window on a cold and frosty morning.
It seems strange that as the earth get closer to the sun during its
orbit then the amount of daylight that we get decrease. But that is the

SMA Students Modul of English

31

case. It is the tilt of the earth that determine the amount of daylight
that we get and so the length of time that for us the sun is above the
horizon.

Thesis

In all discussion over the removal of lead from


petrol ( and the atmosphere), there doesnt seem to
have been any mention of the diffence between
driving in the city and in the country.

Arguments

While I realise my leaded petrol car is polluting the


air wherever I drive, I feel that when you travel

SMA Students Modul of English

32

through the country,where you only see another car


every five to ten minutes,the problem is not as
severe as when traffic is concentrated on city roads.
Those who want to penalise older , leaded petrol
vehicles and their owners donnt seem to
appreciate thet in the country there is no public
transport to fall back upon and ones own vehicle is
the only way to get about.
Recomendatio I feel that country people, who often have to travel
n
huge distances to the nearest town and who
already spend a great deal of money on
petrol,should be treated differently to the people
who live in the city

A. Watch your Kids While Watching TV


Television becomes one of the most important devices which takes
place in almost houses. It can unite all members of the family as well as
separate them. However, is it important to know what your kids are
watching? The answer is, of course, absolutely "Yes" and that should be
done by all parents. Television can expose things you have tried to
protect the children from, especially violence, pornography,
consumerism and so on.
Recently, a study demonstrated that spending too much time on
watching TV during the day or at bedtime often cause bed-time
disruption, stress, and short sleep duration.
Another research found that there is a significant relationship
between the amount of time spent for watching television during
adolescence and early adulthood, and the possibility of being
aggressive.
Meanwhile, many studies have identified a relationship between
kids who watch TV a lot and being inactive and overweight.
Considering some facts mentioning above, protect your children
with the following tips:
Limit television viewing to one-two hours each day
Do not allow your children to have a TV set in their own bedrooms
Review the rating of TV shows which your children watch
Watch television with your children and discuss what is happening in
the show
Notes on the Generic
Exposition example

Structure of this

Hortatory

33

Firstly, we have to always remember that the social function


of hortatory exposition text is driving the readers to act like the
writer thought as stated in the text. Then the purpose of this
hortatory is influencing and persuading the readers by
presenting the supporting arguments. In many social activities,
hortatory is applied for writing recommended thought, sales
letter, advertising, speech campaign, and news advertorial.
Thesis: The writer's thought is presented as thesis which is
proven with several arguments. In the first paragraph, the
writer points his thought about the importance of
accompanying children while they are watching TV show. It is
important to protect the children from the bad influences of TV
show.
Arguments: The next paragraphs show the writer arguments
in supporting his thesis. It is supported by various researches
that there are a great relationship between watching TV and
the watcher's personality. One study describes that much time
in watching TV can cause bed-time disruption. The others show
the possibility of becoming an aggressive character because of
watching television too much.
Recommendation: After stating the thesis and proving with
various arguments, the text is completed with the writer's
recommendation on how the parents should protect the
children from the bed effect of watching TV.
Basically, both hortatory and analytical exposition have the
similar position. Both take place as argumentative essays. Both
show how important idea of the writer to be known. However
the last paragraph of the essay usually make the difference
from hortatory and analytical exposition. If it is a hortatory
text, it will be ended with a strong recommendation while for
analytical exposition, it will be closed with restatement of the
writer's first paragraph.
B. More Dust Bins is Cleaner; example of hortatory

To improve comfort and cleanliness at the school, there should be


an increasing number of dust bins.
When we look at classroom, school corridors and schoolyard, there
papers, mineral water cops, straws, and napkin everywhere. The
condition of unseemliness really hinders learning and teaching
environment. They can be filled out with water coming from the rain.
This can be placed for mosquito to spread out.
Anyway I notice that most of the students have responsibilities for
their school environment. They put their litter on the proper place but
some of them are not diligent enough to find the dust bins. The
numbers of the dust bins in the school are not enough. More dust bins
should be put beside each step, outside of the classrooms and some
SMA Students Modul of English

34

along of the corridors. Probably one dust bin should be in every ten
meters. So when students want to throw away their litters, they can find
the dust bins easily.
When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, students do not
have problem of discomfort any more. So provide more dust bins and
school will be very clean and become a very nice place to study.
C. Where should be after High School?; a hortatory text

The National examination result will be publicly enounced in next


short time. Euphoria will flood for those who get success. In the other
hand, It will be sorry to hear that there are some of them do not
succeed in their national final examination. For those who succeed soon
will think to decide; where will they be after graduating high school?
Actually it will be easy to decide for those has been arranged and
thought earlier but for those have not planed yet, it will be quite
confusing.
Continuing study or looking for work is the primary choice among
them. When they think about continuing study, they will think hard
about the time and cost. How long the higher study will last? And how
high is about the cost. In the same way, when they think about
straightly seeking job, what skill and competence they have got is a big
matter of questioning. So, doing both choices in the same time is an
alternative.
Continuing study as well as seeking job is possibly done but it will
be hard for them. Conventionally studying in the university needs much
time to spend especially in the first year. It is true because they have to
do and adapt a lot of things in their new higher school. it will be very
hard to looking for job. Therefore it should come to their mind of
continuing studying at higher school from their own home. As result, the
available time will be more flexible for them. Then it will be very
possible to seek job and get the appropriate one. This type of studying
is publicly known as distance learning.
As the alternative method of studying, besides the conventional
studying which students and the lecturer have to meet in the fixed time
and place regularly, distance learning provides possibility to grow
better. Possibly working and studying surely will create high quality
graduate. Distance learning should appear as a considerable choice for
them.

The white pelican is

most

Description

The success is largely due to its command


hunting behaviour. A group, perhaps two dozen
birds, will gather in a curved arc some distance
offshore. The birds then begin to move forward
towards the shore, beating the water furiously with
their wings, driving the fish before them.
When the water is shallow enough for the
birds to reach the fish, the formation breaks up as
each bird dips its bill into the water to scoop up its
meal. As the bird lifts its head, the water drains
from its bill leaving the fish which are then
swallowed.
Pelicans are among the oldest group of birds,
Fossils of this genus have been found dating back
40 million years.

of view, the thing is an experience. It can
be what the writer has done, hear, read,
and felt. Composing recount and narrative
is retelling the experiences of the past
event to be a present event.
What does recount differ from
narrative?
The easiest way to catch the
difference is analyzing the generic
structure. Recount text presents the past
experiences in order of time or place; what
happened on Sunday, then on Monday, the
on Tuesday. In simple way, recount
describes series of events in detail. It does
not expose the struggle on how to make
them happen. The event happened
smoothly. On the other hand, narrative
introduces crises and how to solve them.
Narrative text always appear as a hard
potrait of participant's past experience. It
reveals
the
conflict
among
the
participants. Cinderella's conflicts with her
step mother and sister are the example.
The conflict is the most important element
in a narrative text. Narrative without
comflicts is not narrative any more.
C. Visiting Bali
There were so many places to see in
Bali that my friend decided to join the
tours to see as much as possible. My friend
stayed in Kuta on arrival. He spent the first
three days swimming and surfing on Kuta
beach. He visited some tour agents and
selected two tours. The first one was to
Singaraja, the second was to Ubud.
On the day of the tour, he was ready.
My friend and his group drove on through
mountains. Singaraja is a city of about 90
thousands people. It is a busy but quiet
town. The street are lined with trees and

evening to Kuta.
The second tour to Ubud was a very different tour. It was not to see
the scenery but to see the art and the craft of the island. The first stop
was at Batubulan, a center of stone sculpture. There my friend watched
young boys were carving away at big blocks of stone. The next stop was
Celuk, a center for silversmiths and goldensmiths. After that he stopped

day. He was quiet satisfied.
D. My Horrible Experience
Let me remind you my experience during an earthquake last week.
When the earthquake happened, I was on my car. I was driving home
from my vocation to Bali.
Suddenly my car lunched to one side, to the left. I thought I got flat
tire. I did not know that it was an earthquake. I knew it was an
earthquake when I saw some telephone and electricity poles falling
down to the ground, like matchsticks.
Then I saw a lot of rocks tumbling across the road. I was trapped by
the rock. Even I could not move my car at all. There were rocks
everywhere. There was nothing I could do but left the car and walked
along way to my house, in the town.
When I reached my town, I was so surprised that there was almost
nothing left. The earthquake made a lot of damage to my town.
Although nothing was left, I thanked God that nobody was seriously
injured.

E. My Grandpas Funeral in Toraja


Last month my family and I went to Toraja to attend Grandpas
funeral. It was my first time to go to such a ceremony. We gathered
there with our kin in the ceremony.
Overall, the ceremony was quite elaborate. It took about a week.
Several days before the ceremony was done, grandpas body was kept
in a series of houses arranged in a circular row around an open field
called tongkonan. His corpse was dressed in a fi ne wearing.
The funeral was performed in two phases. First, we slaughtered the
pigs and buffaloes, and then moved the corpse to face north. In this
ceremony we wore black clothes. After that, the corpse was placed in a
sandal wood coffin. Then, it was brought out of the house and placed on
an open platform beneath the granary. Meanwhile, my uncle, my
brother, and I prepared the wooden puppet and a funeral tower called
lakian. The next phase of the ceremony was held in this place. The
coffin is borne from the house and placed in the lakian. During the day,
there were also buffalo matches. They were great matches. In the night,
we were feasting, chanting, and dancing.
On the last day, the grandpas coffin were lowered from the funeral
tower and brought up to the mountain side family graveyard. It was
followed by great shouting and excitement from the relatives and the
guests. Finally, we installed the wooden puppet on a high balcony where
other puppets representing the members of a whole family were already
there. The funeral ceremonies made my family and me tired. However,
we were grateful because it ran smoothly.
Questions
1. When did the writer attend the funeral?
2. How long did the writer and his family hold the ceremony?
3. What did they do to the corpse before the funeral was done?
4. What did they do after the corpse was placed in a sandal wood coffi
n?
5. What did they do on the last day of the ceremony?
Notes:
A recount text is a text that tells you a part of experience.
A recount text has an orientation, a series of events in
chronological order, personal remarks on the events and a
reorientation that rounds off the sequence of events. In
the text, you find words and phrases used to start,
connect a sentence with the next one, and end your
composition. Those words and phrases are:

Review Text

What is review text


1. Definition
Review is one of text genres. This classification of text types is
commonly based on the structure which used by the writer to
compose his text. Each text type will have different form of generic
structure. As I said in my previous post, review text usually has
generic structure as:
2. Generic Structure
Introduction: it is the highlight of the general description about
what will be reviewed. It can be product, services which want to be
sold, or just a site which want to be known publicly. Then it will drive
more traffic into the site.
Evaluation: the second phase is coming inside into the product in
details. It states the parts, uniqueness, quality of the product which
will be known publicly. However too much detail description will
teach the will-buyer and it does not sound good. Evaluating as far
as necessary for the targeted buyer is more genuine. The term of
evaluation will not be far from simple word of good or bad. In this
phase reviewer will apply much evaluative word, valuable, useful,
worthy, etc.
Interpretation: after writing about the objective thing of the
product, it is the time for reviewer to write about what he thinks or
impresses on the product. Of course this phase can be done after
getting enough evaluation on the product. It is personal idea about
the product. Frequently to support and strengthen his idea or
impression, a reviewer describes a comparison to other similar
product. He states in which side the product has additional value or
honestly admitted that the product lacks value in certain side.
Summary: this phase is recommending conclusion for reader of the
product. After clearly explanation, a reviewer will make a final
comment whether the product is valuable or not for targeted buyer.
This phase is the worth of the review for reader.
3. Dominant Language features:
1. Focus on specific participants
SMA Students Modul of English

2. Using adjectives
3. Using long and complex clauses
4. Using metaphor
4. Examples and structures of the text
Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix
Pengenalan I absolutely love the Harry Potter series, and all of the
/ Orientasi books will always hold a special place in my heart.
Evaluasi 1

I have to say that of all of the books, however, this was


not my favorite.

Evaluasi 2

When the series began it was as much of a "feel good"


experience as a huge mug of hot cocoa. The stories were
bright, fast-paced, intriguing, and ultimately satisfying.

Tafsiran
Order of the Phoenix is a different kind of book. In some
(Interpretati instances this works...you feel a whole new level of
ve recount) intensity and excitement by the time you get to the end. I
was truly moved by the last page. Other times the book
just has a slightly dreary, depressing feel. The galloping
pace of the other books has slowed to a trot here, and
parts of it do seem long, as if we're reading all about
Harry "just hanging out" instead of having his usual
adventures. Reading in detail about Harry cleaning up an
old house, for example - housekeeping is still
housekeeping, magical or no, and I'm not very interested
in doing it or reading about other people doing it.
A few other changes in this book - the "real" world
comes much more in to play rather than the fantasy
universe of the previous books, and Harry has apparently
been taken off his meds. I know that he had a lot to be
grumpy in this book, especially with being a teenager
and all, but the sudden change in his character seemed
too drastic. He goes from being a warm-hearted,
considerate person to someone who will bite his best
friend's heads off over nothing. It just seemed like it
didn't fit with his character, like he turned into a walking
clich of the "angry teen" overnight.
Rangkuman The "real" story seemed to happen in the last 1/3 of the
book, and this part I loved. I actually liked the ending
(and yes, I cried!) as sad as it was. It packed a punch and
it made me care about the story even more. Still a really
good book, with some editing it would have been great.

Example of Review text


A. Zenni Optical; a site for eyeglasses
Eyeglasses will become more and more important. It is not only
because for protecting our eyes from the hot light but also for holding
the trend. There are a lot of online sites which provides products of
eyeglasses but Zenni Optical was on FOX news! is just the perfect one.
If we visit the site, we will easily catch various information about
eyeglasses. The site is quite simple but very informative. It is real, easy
and not complicated design. With quick loading this site will bring us
quickly in to what we want.

There is information about Variable


Dimension Frames From Zenni. Titanium, aluminum and rimless frame
are available. The eyeglasses are designed for different users.
Eyeglasses for children, woman and man are available choice. Again,
what makes it different is this site gives the Great Eyeglasses For Less
cost. The product can be sold in cheap price because it has cut the
marketing link. It straightly goes to the end user.

B. Good Translation
Translation is transferring not only words by word but also message
to message. In certain case, it will be quite difficult to make translation.
How is to make good Arabic translation from English phrase of as white
as snow meanwhile there is no snow in Arabian?
The basic requirement of a good translator is mastering resource
and target language with all non-linguistic aspect . If he is an English
translator and wants to make Hindi translation, he should understand
well the language and aspect of India. Similarly, if he works with Farsi
translation, he has to be familiar with linguistics and non-linguistics of
Farsian.
However, translation providers can bridge that difficulty. The
translation experts, such as India translation will help to fix the problem.
The experts who have grammatical, lexical, sociolinguistics
specialization will match in transferring the message from one language
to another language.

C. Recording Mommy Journey


Life itself is a journey. For Rosemarie, a pretty young Filipino single
mother for 2-year kid, the daily activities are worthily documented. The
site is her effort to record of what she did, does and will do daily.

SMA Students Modul of English

50

The site consists of several topic; family,


motherhood, shopping, money, love fashion
and shopping. These topics are close related
to her own life. She is not only young but also
pretty and she has a kid. These topics will be
useful to her. Rosemarie is also interested
with making money, internet, business,
computer, loan and other interesting stuff.
She is a widely knowledge mom.
The template design of her site is very
girly, pink centered. She has arranged her site
very attractive, fresh and bright. Again, this
physical appearing site must represent her
personal mood because she is a young and
pretty mom. I like this site and you, young
mothers, surely will like the site too.

software products but, in the other hands, it make us complicated to

necessary. It will be a recommending bridge between consumer and
producer. A good reviewer will place hes/her self in the middle arena.
He/she will not tend to specially software producer or absolutely
consumer. He/she just presents the real description of the product.
He/she will observes to find the good and bad side of the product. In the
last, he/she will recommends whether the reviewed products deserve to
choose or not. That is really helpful for consumer.

Writing job application letters

The job application letter's sole purpose is to get the recipient to read your CV. It
should be clear, concise and straight to the point. Here you are simply telling the employer
that you are worth having a look at.
The application letter should be brief, no more than one page in length. It should be
easy to read and flow through. It should include only the absolute necessary information.
Like most other things, there is a formula that works extremely well for preparing job
application letters. Following we discuss each paragraph and give you some guidelines.

Addressing job application letters:


The style you choose is not important, there are many different styles of job applications
and professional letters, this comes down to personal preference. However somewhere on
the top, whether it is on the right or left hand sides, there should be your address and the
date. Following this, on the left hand side you should address it. Ensure you include the
name of the person, their title, company name, address and any position reference number.
This is probably obvious, but ensure that you spell their name correctly, nothing worse
than receiving a letter incorrectly addressed or misspelled. It gives a poor first impression.

The Introductory Paragraph:


The first paragraph should simply state why you are writing to them. If it is an advertised
position, mention the position title and where it was advertised. If you are "cold calling" a
company then you should specify that you are applying for any current or future
employment opportunities.
An easy way to start this paragraph is with the following statement: " Please find enclosed
my CV, which I am forwarding to you as an application for the position of......."

The main body of job application letters:


SMA Students Modul of English

52

The main body of the letter should be two to three paragraphs at the most. Here is where
you tell them what you have to offer and why they should read your CV. This is a good
time to read the job advertisement again. In one paragraph (two at the most) you need to
summarise your experience and skills, at the same time, you need to respond to the
position requirements as per the advertisement.
Analyse your career and summarise it in a few sentences, highlight what you specialise in,
or how many years in the industry you might have, or even the level that you have
reached. This paragraph should direct the reader to your CV and should sell you on some
unique points that you might have.
A good way to start this paragraph is with a statement like this: "You will see from my
enclosed CV...." then go ahead and tell them something about your career which will
immediately get their interest.
The next part of the body of the letter should be a brief description of your personal skills.
Again read the advertisement and respond to their needs. If they are asking for someone
with good co-ordination skills, then ensure you mention something to that effect. If it is
communication or perhaps leadership skills they value, then tell them that you have these.
Use adjectives like "demonstrated ability", "well developed", "strong".

Job Application Letters Closing Paragraph:


The closing paragraph should ask for some action from the recipient. This is where you
ask for an interview. It should also state where and how they can reach you, and it should
thank the recipient for giving you the opportunity to apply. You can include things like
"should you require further information....." .
Finish the letter by adding a closing remark, either "yours sincerely", "yours faithfully' or
whatever you feel comfortable with and obeying general letter writing etiquette. Leave a
few spaces for your signature and then place your full name.
Before you mail the application letter, read it over again, making sure that it is perfect.
Special attention should be placed to ensure the letter:

It is not too long.


There are no grammar or spelling errors.

That you have answered the job requirements.

The application letter flows and is easy to read.

You might have to type and edit the letter many times before you are happy with it, but just
remember that the job application letter is just as important as the CV itself. The letter
should invite the recipient to read the resume, in turn the resume should raise enough
SMA Students Modul of English

53

interest for them to want to interview you. The Interview is where you will demonstrate
your skills and abilities.

Similarities and differenties

A. The Differences between Report and Descriptive Text


Some text types are quite difficult to differ. Such report and
descriptive text have the similarity in the social function and generic
structure. However if they are analyzed carefully, the slight
difference between the two text types will reveal.
The purpose of the two texts are to give the live-description of
the object/participant. Both the report and descriptive text try to
show rather than tell the reader about the factual condition of the
object. Readers by themselves will catch the impressive point of the
object through that showing writing style. What make different,
between report and descriptive text, is the scope of the written
object. If we talk about, eg: bicycle, it belongs to report text. It will
talk about bicycle in general; its parts, physical strengh, function for
certain people or other general characters of bike. In the other hand,
descriptive text will convey more focus, for example "my bicycle"
with its specific characters; colour, lengh, wheel style, etc.
In short, report text describes the way of certain things and
frequently refer to phenomenon of nature, animal and scientific
object. Mostly, report is written after getting careful observation. This
scientific and technical sense make clearer difference from
descriptive text. The way of descriptive text in showing thing is
based on the objective fact of the thing. It describe the specific thing
simply as the thing is.

B. Between Explanation and Procedure Text


Seeing the social function, both procedure and explanation texts
have the similarity in which both describe how to make or done
something. They give the detail description on something,
phenomena, goods, product case or problem.
To see the differences between explanation and procedure, we
have to analyze the dominant language feature and how the texts
are used.
Procedure, this text type is commonly called as instruction text.
It uses pattern of commend in building the structure. It use the to
infinitive verb which is omitted the to. It is a kind of instruction
text which uses full commend verb. Procedure is commonly used to
describe how to make something which is close to our daily activity.
For example how to make a cup of tea, how to make a good kite, etc
SMA Students Modul of English

54

is the best example of the procedure text. It is such word; first boil
water, secondly prepare the cup, and so on.
Explanation, it is commonly used the passive voice in building
the text. Explanation is such a scientific written material. It describes
how certain phenomenon or event happen. How a tornado form, how
tsunami works are the best example of explanation text. It uses
passive pattern in describing the topic.

C. Between Recount and Narrative


Something which happened in the past is the main resource to
compose both recount and narrative text. In writer's point of view,
the thing is an experience. It can be what the writer has done, hear,
read, and felt. Composing recount and narrative is retelling the
experiences of the past event to be a present event.
What does recount differ from narrative?
The easiest way to catch the difference is analyzing the generic
structure. Recount text presents the past experiences in order of

does not expose the struggle on how to make them happen. The

crises and how to solve them. Narrative text always appear as a hard
potrait of participant's past experience. It reveals the conflict among
the participants. Cinderella's conflicts with her step mother and sister
are the example. The conflict is the most important element in a
narrative text. Narrative without comflicts is not narrative any more.

exposition will be best to
describe "How will student do

is the important thing to do.
But for the question" How
should student do for his
exam?" will be good to be
answered with hortatory. It is
to convince that the thing

a) Analytical exposition

Dust Bin
To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, a number of dust bins
should be increased.
When we look at classrooms, school corridors and school yard, there are
paper mineral water cups, straws, and napkins here and there. The condition of
uncleanliness and discomfort really hinders learning and teaching environment.
Litters thrown carelessly cause disease, especially empty plastic cup or glasses.
They can be filled out with water coming from the rain. This can be placed for
dengue mosquitoes to spread out. Besides, these rubbish can deteriorate the
scene. Well painted wall and green school yard do not mean anything litters are
scattered everywhere.
Anyway I notice that most of the students in our school have
responsibilities for the school environment. They put their litters on the proper
places. But some are not diligent enough to find the dust bins. The numbers of
dust binds in our schools are not enough. Ore dust bins should be put beside
each of steps, outside of the classrooms, and some more also the corridors.
Probably one dust bin should be in every ten meters. So when students want to
throw away their litters, they can find the dust bins easily.
When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, we do not have problems
of freak and discomfort any more. Our school will be very clean and become a
nice place to study.

Learning English
Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix
pleasure with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means
to your English progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the
idea why we use songs in language learning.
Firstly, the song stuck in my head Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of
the last song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be
both enjoyable and sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to
reinforce the idea that songs work on our short-and-long term memory.
Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot
of repetition, which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that
they are effective makes them many times more motivating than other text.
Although usually simple, some songs can be quite complex syntactically, lexically
and poetically, and can be analyzed in the same way as any other literary
sample.
Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most
pop songs and probably many other types dont have precise people, place or
time reference.
In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage
harmony within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important
tools in sustaining culture, religion, patriotism and yeas, even revolution.
Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs
such as studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension,
translating songs, learning vocabulary, spelling and culture.
From the elaboration above, it can be concluded that learning through music
and songs, learning English can be enjoyable and fun.

Smoking in Restaurant
Smoking in restaurants is just not on. It must not be allowed because it is
rude, harmful to others and dangerous for the smokers.
Firstly, smoking in a restaurant is impolite. The smell of the smoke affects all
people and can turn them off their food. People pay to taste good food and not to
be put off by foul smelling smoke.
Another reason smoking should not be allowed in restaurant is the harm it can
do to others. Passive smoking that is breathing in smoke made by a smoker can
lead to asthma attacks and even cancer.

The Importance of Reading


I personally think that reading is a very important activity in our life. Why do I
say so? Firstly, by reading we can get a lot of knowledge about many things in
the world such as Science, technology. Sports, arts, culture, etc written in either
books, magazine, newspaper, etc.
Secondly, by reading we can get a lot of news and information about
something happening in any parts of the world which can we see directly.
Another reason, reading can give us pleasure too. When we are tired, we read
books, newspaper or magazine on the entertainment coloumn such as comedy,
short story, quiz, etc. To make us relaxed.
The last, reading can also take us to other parts of the world. By reading a
book about Irian Jaya we may feel were really sitting in the jungles not at home
in our rooms.
From the facts above, its obvious that everyone needs to read to get
knowledge, information and also entertainment. Or in summary we can say
reading is truly important in our life.
18.Why is reading very important in
our life? Because..
a) By reading, we can get a lot of

About the adverb 'really'.


This adverb as we have seen is very useful in making what you say
stronger. When talking about things you don't like though it can
have a different meaning depending on where you put it in the
sentence.
For example:
"I really don't like it!"
This means you have a strong dislike of something.
BUT
"I don't really like it."
This is not very strong. It means that you do not like something, but
it is not a very strong dislike.

Ketika kita merubah kalimat langsung menjadi kalimat tidak

perubahan tenses, struktur kalimat, pronoun (kata ganti orang),
Possessive (kata ganti kepemilikan), keterangan waktu, dan tempat.
Perubahan pronoun dan possessive tergantung kepada sabjek dan
objek yang dipakai di kalimat langsung/tidak langsung.
Jika kalimat langsung adalah kalimat tanya maka ketika kalimat itu
diulang (kalimat tidak langsung) tidak membentuk kata tanya lagi
tetapi menjadi kalimat berita. Kata penghubungnya adalah if/whether
dan what, why, where, when, who, how. Begitu pula jika kalimat
langsung adalah kalimat perintah maka di kalimat tidak langsung
menjadi kalimat berita. Kata penghubungnya adalah (+) to

C. PASSIVE VOICE (kalimat pasif)


Kalimat
passif
adalah
kalimat
dimana
subjek
dikenai
tindakan/pekerjaan, sedangkan kalimat aktif subjeklah yang melakukan
tindakan/pekerjaan.
Hal yang perlu diperhatikan dalam merubah aktif ke pasif adalah:
Yang dapat dijadikan kalimat passive adalah Verbal Sentence
(kalimat yang predikatnya kata kerja/V)
Verbal sentence yang dapat dirubah ke Passive Voice (kalimat pasif)
adalah kalimat yang memiliki objek penderita.
Perubahan aktif ke pasif atau sebaliknya tidak merubah makna
kalimat. Perubahan iti terjadi hanya pada struktur kalimatnya saja.
Ciri kalimat pasif/passive voice adalah to be + V3 dan kata by (kata
ini bukan merupakan syarat yang harus ada dalam kalimat pasif )
Contoh : (Aktive) Bajuri loves Oneng
S
P/V1
O
(Passive) Oneng is loved by Bajuri.
S
P/V3
(Active) I bought a new motorcycle last week.
(passive) A new motorcycle was bought by me last week

arteries with each contraction of the heart. The left atrium and ventricle work
separately from those on the right. The role of the chambers on the right side of the
heart is to receive oxygen-depleted blood from the body tissues and send it on to the
lungs; the chambers on the left side of the heart of the heart then receive the oxygenenriched blood from the lungs and send it back out to the body tissues.

REPORT FROM THE TAMIL NADU FIRE SERVICES
Till the morning of 26 December 2004, the common man in India had not
heard the word tsunami. Within an hour of the incident it became a household
word. What exactly is a tsunami?
A tsunami (pronounced tsunami) literally means a harbor wave. It is really a
series of waves with extremely long wavelength and wave period. The wave is
produced by a disturbance in the seabed by a powerful earthquake or a volcano
eruption.
A tsunami is different from a tidal wave. The tidal wave is produced by the
gravitational pull of the moon. The tsunami is a wave motion created by
a
disturbance in the seabed. It is comparable to the waves produced in a basin of
water if the bottom is struck. You can see the ripples of water flowing from the spot
you hit going outwards. Only in this incident Gods basin is huge and the wave
produced is several meters high.
The casualties from the tsunami number nearly 221,100. in Indonesia alone
the number is close to 166,320. Besides these, there are casualties in Sri Lanka,
Thailand and Burma.

Dear Human Being,
Put aside your axe, your hammer, or your rifle, and lend us your ear for a
moment. God created us, humans and animals, to live together in harmony on
our planet Earth. He gave us trees, plants, rivers, mountains and many other
things for our needs and enjoyment. In all our different forms and characters, we
make up everything that sets us apart from other planets.
The only thing is that you, as a human being, were made a little superior to
any of us. You were given a little more intelligence and more of just everything
else so that you can do more. You, with all the skills given to you, are able to
invent tools, erect buildings, and make works of art. In other words, you have the
power to rule the world.
You do as you wish: you maim, you kill, you destroy, all in the name of
development. But what do you really gain? What about us animals and our
habitats? You ignore our needs, and are intentionally blind to our fate.
Unlike you, we dont have the ability to create things. Aside from our
instincts, we rely on our bodies alone: our fur, our feathers, our muscles But just

like you, we know the joys and sorrows of living: the taste of freedom and the
glory of every new day; the pangs of hunger and the pains of death. We, like you,
love our children, and cry when one of them dies.
But even if we are less than what you are, we, too, are creatures of God.
We also have the right to live and to have our own place in this world. You cannot
deny us this right.
We know you need us to survive. Take what you need from us and our
environment, but dont take it all. If you take everything from us, in the end you
will have nothing. If you destroy us, you will destroy yourselves. So please, let us
be.
Respectfully,
Your fellow creatures on Earth

Your body needs energy, protein, minerals, vitamins, and fibre. In order to get
all of these, it is important to have a varied and balanced diet, and to eat the right
amount of food. Your body "burns" food to energy : the amount of energy provided
by food is measured in units called calories.
How many calories do you need? This depends on your weight and on what you do.
When you are asleep, your body uses nearly one calorie an hour for every kilogram
of weight. So a person who weights seventy kilos uses about 560 calories while
sleeping for eight hours. More calories are needed for different activities -from 100
calories an hour for reading or watching TV, to 350 calories an hour for playing
football.
To calculate the number of calories needed per day for an everage person, first
find out the person's ideal weight. Then multiply the weight by 40 for a woman or 46
for a man. A 60 - kilo woman may need about 2400 calories a day - more if she does
heavy physical work and less if she is very inactive.
10. Which statement is NOT TRUE according to the text?
a. To read something for an hour, a person needs 100 calories.
b. A person needs 350 calories per hour to play football.
c. Inactive persons do not need calories at all.
d. Food is burnt by the body to get energy.
11. How many calories do we need? It depends on ....
a. how old we are
c. our weight and what we do
b. how heavy we are
d. our age and our weight
12. The text mainly tells us about ....
a. energy
c. protein
b. calories
d. minerals
13. A sportsman will need ... a businessman.
a. as many calories as
c. more calories than
b. not so many calories as
d. less calories than
14. "more if she does heavy physical work and less if she is very inactive."
The underlined word means ....
a. very active
c. rather active
b. quite active
d. not active

provided on our school holiday Bali Tour Feb, 22 - 24.

At dinner time, many of us found no food left so we bought dinner outside. We
look forward to receiving your response.
Thank you,

Common types of calendars can be based on the Sun or on the Moon. The solar calendar is
based on the solar year. Since the solar year is 365.2422 days long, solar calendars consist of
regular years of 365 days and have an extra day every fourth year, or leap year, to make up for the
additional fractional amount. In a solar calendar, the waxing and waning of the moon can take
place at various stages of each month.
The lunar calendar is synchronized to the lunar month rather than the solar year. Since the
lunar month is twenty-nine and a half days long, most lunar calendars have alternating months of
twenty-nine and thirty days. A twelve month lunar year thus has 354 days shorter than a solar year.
1. What is the main idea of the passage?
(a) All calendars are the same
(b) The solar calendar is based on the sun
(c) Different calendars have dissimilar bases
(d) The lunar month is twenty-nine and a half days long

(b) Two types of calendars are described
(c) The strengths and weaknesses of the lunar calendar are described

function in the cycle of pumping blood. The atria are the thin-walled upper chambers
that gather blood as it flows from the veins between heartbeats. The ventricles are the
thick-walled lower chambers that receive blood from the atria and push it into the
arteries with each contraction of the heart. The left atrium and ventricle work
separately from those on the right. The role of the chambers on the right side of the
heart is to receive oxygen-depleted blood from the body tissues and send it on to the
lungs; the chambers on the left side of the heart of the heart then receive the oxygenenriched blood from the lungs and send it back out to the body tissues.

The Stone Age was a period of history which began in approximately 2 million
B.C. and lasted until 3000 B.C. Its name was derived from the stone tools and weapons
that modern scientists found. This period was divided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic,
and Neolithic Ages. During the first period, (2 million to 8000 B.C.) the fist hatchet and
use of fire for heating and cooking were developed. As a result of the Ice Age, which
evolved about 1 million years into the Paleolithic Age, people were forced to seek
shelter in caves, wear clothing, and developed new tools.
During the Mesolithic Age (8000 to 6000 B.C.) people made crude pottery and the
first fish hooks, took dogs hunting, and developed a bow and arrow, which was used
until the fourteenth century A.D.
The Neolithic Age (6000 to 3000 B.C.) saw humankind domesticating sheep,

of vaccine, the microorganisms are dead and therefore cannot cause disease;
however, the antigens found in and on the microorganisms can still stimulate the
formation of antibodies. Examples of this type of vaccine are the ones that fight
influenza, typhoid fever, and cholera.
A second type of vaccine contains the toxins produced by the micro-organisms

The largest lake in the western United States is the Great Salt Lake, an inland lake
in northwestern Utah, just outside the state capital of Salt Lake City. Rivers and
streams feed into the Great Salt Lake, but none drain out of it; this has a major
influence on both the salt content and the size of the lake.
Although the Great Salt Lake is fed by freshwater streams, it is actually saltier
than the oceans of the world. The salt comes from the more than two million tons of
minerals that flow into the lake each year from the rivers and creeks that feed it.
Sodium and chloride the components of salt comprise the large majority of the
lakes mineral content.
The Great Salt Lake can vary tremendously from its normal size of 1,700 square
miles, depending on long-term weather conditions. During periods of heavy rains, the
size of the lake can swell tremendously from the huge amounts of water flowing into
the lake from its feeder rivers and streams; in 1980 the lake even reached a size of
2,400 square miles. During periods of dry weather, the size of the lake decreases,
sometimes drastically, due to evaporation.
16.How is the information in the passage organized?
(a) Two unusual characteristics of the Great Salt Lake are discussed
(b) Contrasting theories about the Great salt Lakes salt levels are presented
(c) The process by which the Great Salt Lake gets its salt is outlined

According to the theory of continental drift, the continents are not fixed in
position but instead move slowly across the surface of the earth, constantly changing
in position relative to one another. This theory was first proposed in the eighteenth
century when mapmakers noticed how closely the continents of earth fit together
when they were matched up. It was suggested then that the present-day continents
had once been one large continent that had broken up into pieces which drifted apart.
Today the modern theory of plate tectonics has developed from the theory of
continental drift. The theory of plate tectonics suggests that the crust of the earth is
divided into six large, and many small, tectonic plates that drift on the lava that
composes the inner core of the earth. These plates consist of ocean floor and
continents that quite probably began breaking up and moving relative to one another
more than 200 million years ago.

(a) Continental drift

(c) The rapid movement of continents

PAKET 6
The text is for question number 1 to 7
During the nineteenth century, the mechanization of farming and the fencing
of rangeland opened the agricultural heart of North America to intensive
development. As the natural geographic center of this region, Chicago became
the crossroads of a vast transportation network. The great waterway systems of
the Mississippi valley and the Great Lakes were linked in Chicago in 1847, when
the Illinois-Michigan Canal was opened to traffic. Within the next year, rail lines
began to operate trains to and from the city. The rise of agricultural activity
demanded facilities for the storage and milling of grain, the slaughtering of cattle,
and the processing and shipment of meat. The manufacture of farm machinery
branched out into the basic metal-fabricating and woodworking industries. This
soon attracted banks and other financial institutions. Four years after the end of
the Civil War, Chicago was already established as the focal point of the largest
system of inland waterways in the world and the hub of a rail network that
extended to the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts. The productive potential of the

The text is for question number 13 to 16
Hay fever is a seasonal allergy to pollens; the term hay fever, however, is a
less than adequate description since an attack can be brought on by sources
other than hay-producing grasses. Hay fever is generally caused by air-borne
pollens, particularly ragweed pollen. The amount of pollen in the air is largely
dependent on geographical location, weather, and season. In the eastern section
of the United States, for example, there are generally three periods when pollen
from various sources can cause intensive hay fever suffering: in the springtime
months of March and April when pollen from trees is prevalent, in the summer
month of June and July when grass pollen fills the air, and at the end of August
when ragweed pollen is at its most concentrated levels.
13. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
(a) The relationship between Season and Allergies
(b) Misconceptions and Facts about Hay Fever
(c) Hay Fever in the Eastern U.S
(d) How Ragweed Causes Hay Fever
14. According to the passage, which of the following helps to explain why the
term hay fever is somewhat of a misnomer?
(a) A strong fever occurs after an attack
(b) The amount of pollen in the air depends on geographical location
(c) Hay fever is often caused by ragweed pollen
(d) Grass pollen is prevalent in June and July

15. Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage as a determining


factor of the amount of pollen in the air?

(c)
Time of Year
(d)
Altitude
16. Which of the following is NOT true about hay fever in the eastern U.S.?
(a)
Suffering from hay fever is equally severe year-round
(b)
Pollen from trees causes hay fever suffering in the spring
(c)
Grass pollen fills the air earlier in the year than ragweed pollen

Dekanawidas role as a supreme lawgiver in the Iroquois tribe has given him
the status of demigod within the Indian nation. Born into the Huron tribe,
Dekanawida caused great fear in his parents, who tried to drown him in his youth
after a prophecy was made indicating that he would bring great sorrow to the
Huron nation. Dekanawida was to survive this attempted drowning but later left
his parents home and tribe to live among the Iroquois.
One of his achievements with the Iroquois was the institution of a law among
the Iroquois that virtually ended blood feuds among the nations families.
Wampum, strings of beads made of polished shells, was a valued commodity in
the Iroquois culture; according to the policies established by Dekanawida,
wampum had to be paid to the family of a murder victim by the family of the
killer. Since the killer was also put to death, the family of the killer had to pay the
victims family in wampum for two deaths, the death of the murder victim and the

summers are pleasant. The fresh breezes blow off the ocean and the sky is always
blue. It rains quite a lot in the winter, but it never gets very cold.

Possessive Nouns

183

Possessive nouns adalah kata benda atau nomina yang digunakan untuk menyatakan
kepemilikan atas suatu benda. Bentuk possessive dipakai bersama suatu nomina yang
menunjuk pada seseorang, sekelompok orang, negara, atau binatang.
Contoh possessive nouns yang menyatakan kepemilikan suatu benda:
Tom owns a car. Tom adalah pemilik dari a car, maka bentuk possessive-nya adalah: It
is Tom's car.
Contoh possessive nouns dengan bentuk sebelumnya:
The car of John = Johns car.- The room of the girls = The girls room.
The sister of Charles = Charles sister.
The boat of the sailors = The sailors boat.
Selain menyatakan kepemilikan atas benda, possessive nouns juga dapat menyatakan relasi
antara seseorang terhadap hubungan kekeluargaan, tempat kegiatannya, dan sifat atau
karakternya. Contoh:
- Mark goes to that school. That is Marks school.
Camillas mother.
- Lukes patience.
Perhatikan catatan dan aturan pembentukan possessive nouns berikut di bawah ini.
Jika singular nouns tidak berakhiran s, tambahkan s (apostrof dan s)
The delivery boys truck was blocking the driveway.
Bob Doles concession speech was stoic and dignified.
The students attempts to solve the problem were rewarded
Jika singular nouns berakhiran s, tambahkan s, kecuali bila kata berikutnya diawali dengan
huruf s, maka tambahkan saja apostrof (termasuk juga kata yang bersuara s and sh.)
The bosss temper was legendary among his employees.- The boss sister was even meaner.
The witnesss version of the story has several inconsistencies.
Jika singular proper nouns berakhiran s, tambahkan saja apostrof
Chris exam scores were higher than any other students.
Jika plural nouns berakhiran s, tambahkan apostrof saja. Hal ini juga berlaku untuk kata
berbentuk singular yang berakhiran -s (seperti kata mathematics dan measles)
The instructor asked us to analyze ten poems meanings.
The dog catcher had to check all of the dogs tags.
It is hard to endure the Marine Corps style of discipline.
Jika plural nouns tidak berakhiran s, tambahkan s (apostrof dan s)
Many activists in Oregon are concerned with childrens rights.
Everyone was disappointed with the American medias coverage of the Olympics in
Atlanta.
Jika memakai gabungan nomina possessive (joint possession), maka gunakan bentuk
possessive pada nomina yang paling dekat dengan kata berikutnya.
Clinton and Gore's campaign was successful.
She was worried about her mother and father's marriage.
Beavis and Butthead's appeal is absolutely lost on me.
hermiyanto_i@yahoo.co.id

184

Jika dua nomina atau lebih dipakai untuk menyatakan kepemilikannya masing-masing
(separate possession), maka gunakan bentuk possessive pada setiap nomina.
- The owners and the bosss excuses were equally false.- The dogs and the cats owners were
in school when the fire broke out.
Dalam suatu konstruksi gabungan (compound constructions), gunakan bentuk possessive pada
nomina yang paling dekat dengan kata berikutnya (sebaiknya hindari pemakaian bentuk
possessive untuk konstruksi gabungan berbentuk plural (compound plurals)).
- My father-in-laws BMW is really fun to drive.- The forest rangers truck is painted an ugly
shade of green.
Bentuk possessive juga digunakan untuk menunjukkan sebuah toko, restoran, sekolah, tempat
ibadah, dsb. dengan memakai nama, merek, atau pekerjaan dari si pemilik, misalnya: the
grocer's, the newsagent's, the dentist's, Saint Mary's, the doctor's, the chemist's, etc.
Beberapa ungkapan umum yang memakai bentuk possessive:
- a day's work
- a fortnight's holiday
- a month's pay
- today's newspaper
- in a year's time
- For God's sake!
- a pound's worth of apples.
- the water's edge
- a stone's throw away (= very near)
- at death's door (= very ill)
- in my mind's eye (= in my imagination)
Noun: Singular and Plural
Singular nouns adalah kata benda tunggal. Perbedaan kata benda tunggal (singular nouns)
dan kata benda jamak (plural nouns) dalam kalimat bahasa inggris perlu diperhatikan karena
berpengaruh terhadap kata kerja (baik verb tobe, verb to have maupun kata kerja.
Plural nouns adalah kata benda jamak. Pada umumnya kata benda jamak di bentuk dengan
menambah S atau ES pada kata benda tunggal, degan beberapa pengecualian.
Kata benda tunggal dalam kalimat harus memakai kata kerja tumggal, sedangkan kata benda
jamak harus menggunakan kata kerja jamak. Contoh :
* This car is expensive
: mobil ini mahal
( car bentuk tunggal menggunakan is )
*

These
cars
are expensive
( cars bentuk jamak menggunakan are )

mobil-mobil

ini

mahal

Reviewing Parts of Speech through analyzing simple sentences


Pada kegiatan pembelajaran sebelumnya, Anda telah mempelajari unsur-unsur kalimat dalam
bahasa Inggris, pada kegiatan pembelajaran ini Anda akan mempelajari pengelompokkan kata
dalam bahasa Inggris berikut fungsinya dalam kalimat.
Dalam bahasa Inggris dikenal pengelompokkan kata (Parts of Speech), yakni: Kata Benda
(Noun), Kata Kerja (Verb), Kata Sifat (Adjectives), dan Kata Keterangan (Adverb). Dalam
paragraf selanjutnya akan diuraikan secara rinci masing-masing kelompok kata.
Kegiatan Pembelajaran 1:
Reviewing Parts of Sentence through analyzing simple sentences. Kalimat dalam bahasa
Inggris pada dasarnya terdiri dari dua unsur, yaitu (1) subject dan (2) predicate. Predicate
dalam bahasa Inggris, terdiri dari (1) a predicating word (Verb), yang biasanya disertai dengan
object, dan (2) a linking verb, yang biasanya disertai dengan complement berupa adjective
(kata sifat) atau adverb (kata keterangan).
Predicating Words Object

Subject

Linking verbs

2. Mary is beautiful
Kalimat di atas diuraikan menjadi:
