THE SPARROW AND THE RABBIT       

            Mr. Sparrow was only a little bird. He was not at all a nice bird, because he was always telling stories about someone. Many birds and animals in the forest were complaining about him. But Mr. Sparrow did not take any notice of their complaints. He kept on telling stories, often causing bitter quarrels between the many inhabitants of the forest.

            One day this nasty little birds was sitting on the branch of a tree, when he spied Mr. Rabbit coming by. Not knowing that Mr. Sparrow was quite close in the tree above him, Mr. Rabbit was talking loudly to himself, “I’ll do something which will make Mr. Fox so angry! Ha, ha, ha! He will be so angry, I’m sure!”

On hearing this Mr. Sparrow immediately cried out to Mr. Rabbit, “No, Mr. Rabbit, you won’t! For I’m going to tell Mr. Fox what you’ve just said!”

            Mr. Rabbit was quite startled. Then he cried back in a little voice, “Please, Mr. Sparrow, don’t tell Mr. Fox. I beg you, please!”

            “Oh no, Mr. Rabbit, I’m going to Mr. Fox this very moment and tell him what you’ve said!”

            And with that the ugly little bird quickly flew away.

            Mr. Rabbit was puzzled for a moment. He did not know what to do, for he was so afraid of Mr. Fox.

            “Mr. Fox will kill me, I’m sure. I should not have talked so loudly.”

            Mr. Rabbit thought hard, and at last he got a bright idea. He smiled to himself. He did have bright ideas sometimes.

In the meantime Mr. Sparrow had arrived at Mr. Fox’s den and had told him what Mr. Rabbit had said. Mr. Fox got very angry with Mr. Rabbit. In a little while he went running through the forest. When he got near his bunny-hole Mr. Rabbit called out, “Mr. Fox! Mr. Fox! Mr. Fox!”

            “What?”

            “Please don’t come near me,” said Mr. Rabbit.

            “And why not?” asked Mr. Fox, a bit puzzled.

            “Because you will kill me and set my house on fire.”      

            “Why do you say that?”

            “I was told so,” answered Mr. Rabbit. “Someone told me that you said, “I’ll kill Mr. Rabbit and set his house on fire!”

            “Who told you that?” asked Mr. Fox, astonished.

            “Mr. Sparrow told me!”

            “Mr. Sparrow, did you say?”

            “Yes, indeed. Mr. Sparrow warned me against you!”

            Mr. Fox did not say another word, and slunk homewards.

           Next day Mr. Sparrow was sitting in a tree not far from Mr. Fox’s den. He was waiting for Mr. Fox to show himself. As soon as he saw Mr. Fox, he called out to him.

            “What do you want?” asked Mr. Fox.

            “I’ve got something to tell you,” answered Mr. Sparrow.

            “Ah, have you! Please come nearer, Mr. Sparrow, then I can hear you better.” 

            Mr. Sparrow jumped on a stone in front of Mr. Fox.

            “Please stand on my head, dear Mr. Sparrow, for my left ear is bad, and I can’t hear with my right one.”

            Feeling very pleased Mr. Sparrow immediately jumped on to Mr. Fox’s head.

            “Look,” said Mr. Fox, “why don’t you stay in my mouth? Then I’ll be able to hear you nicely.”

            “That’s a good idea,” said Mr. Sparrow happily, and hopped into Mr. Fox’s mouth. Mr. Fox at once shut his mouth and ate Mr. Sparrow.

            “Now go and tell stories about me!” he said.

            Mr. Fox laughed loud and long.

Ant-eaters are perhaps the most curious looking animals.

            Their long head and snout look like tubes, and they have no teeth at all. Their front legs are very strong and armed with heavy curved claws with which they break open the nets of ants and termites and then, when the insects rush out, use their long, sticky tongues to lick them up at great speed.

            True ant-eaters are found in the swamps and forests of Central and South America. Scaly ant-eaters, or pangolins, are found in Africa and tropical Asia.

            Various other insect-eating animals are sometimes called ant-eaters, although they really belong to other groups of animals. One of them is the ant-bear, which lives on the plains of South and Central Africa. This has long, erect ears but short blunt claws, an almost hairless tail, yellow brown in color. Unlike the true ant-eaters, it has small teeth.

Pertanyaannya adalah:

Unlike the true ant-eaters, it has small teeth. (last paragraph)

It means ………

a.   the true ant-eaters have no teeth

b.   the true ant-eaters have small teeth

c.   the ant-bear has no teeth

d.   the ant-bear has big teeth

e.   both have no teeth.

Jawaban yg benar yg A ya, Pak/Bu?

HOW RICE IS SERVED ON YOUR DINING-TABLE

            Do you have rice as your staple food? But have you ever thought how rice is served on your dining-table. Let’s see the process, shall we?

            First of all, grains are grown on rice fields. When the grains are ripe enough, they are harvested and stored in silos. Later, they are sent into the mills to remove their husks. When the husks have been removed from the grains, they are called rice.

            The rice is then kept in sacks. After that, the sacks are sent to the stores. The prices vary among the rice according to its quality. The rice is bought by the consumers and carried home.

            At home, the rice is washed and cooked in a rice cooker or a simmer. Finally, when it is done, the rice becomes resilient. Now the rice is ready to serve on our dining-table.

            Rice is the most important staple food in most parts of Asia. Asians grow and eat 95% of the world’s rice.

Pertanyaan2nya adalah:

1.   What does the text tell us about?

      a.   The process from grains to rice

BATTLE FOR HADITHA

A film review by Chris Cabin – Copyright 2008 Filmcritic.com

            The new Iraq war film Battle for Haditha was directed by the seasoned British documentarian Nick Broomfield and is, by a large margin, the most sustained and unshakable narrative film to investigate. It was November 2005 when a convoy of American soldiers were attacked while patrolling a main strip of road in a suburban, section of Haditha, a city in the western Iraq province of Al Anbar. The resulting death of Lance Corporal Miguel Terrazas is said to be the investigating factor in the massacre that directly followed the attack.

            An investigation by Time magazine’s Tim McGuirk, which included a video of the houses where many of the victims were shot, prompted an eventual investigation by the U.S. military. These investigations led to the revelation that all 23 of the victims were massacred by the enraged Marines in a vengeful tirade following their comrade’s death. The end result: Eight of the Marines involved were charged while most of the higher-ups who OKed the shootings were given free passes. As of early 2008, only three of the Marines were actually being fully prosecuted for the crime.

            Although there are some weaknesses such as the mostly non-professional cast is made up primarily of soldiers, Haditha finds them as an essential and very real part of the current war’s pastiche.

Pertanyaannya:

How is the film according to the writer? 

a.   very goodb.   very badc.   boringd.   lack of success      e.   monotonous

A. karena ada kalimat The new Iraq war film Battle for Haditha was directed by the seasoned British documentarian Nick Broomfield and is, by a large margin, the most sustained and unshakable narrative film to investigate

Introduction

In English, there are many ways of expressing future time. One of the most common is the "be going to" construction. This page will explain the main meaning of “be going to” and show you how to use “be going to” in sentences and questions.


1. How to form "be going to" sentences

To make a verb form with “be going to”, you first put “be” into the correct form to agree with the subject, and then add “going to+ the simple form of the verb. Note also that the “be” form is often shortened. This table lists the main forms:

SubjectStatementQuestionNegative

(This is already planned and organized.)

Tolong jelaskan definisi subject, object, Topic. Bisa tolong kasih contohnya pada 1 kalimat, tapi ada 3 unsur tsb.Trimakasih sebelumnya

-

The Subject

The subject is the person or thing the sentence is 'about'. Often (but not always) it will be the first part of the sentence. The subject will usually be a noun phrase (a noun and the words, such as adjectives, that modify it) followed by a verb.

Finding the Subject

Once you determine the verb, ask a wh...? question of the verb. This will locate the subject(s).

For example:

  • David works hard.
    • Who "works hard"?=David does=the subject.

     

  • Beer and wine are my favourite drinks.
    • What "are my favourite drinks"? Beer and wine are=the subjects.

The subject(s) of a sentence will answer the questions, "who or what."

Top

The Predicate

Once you have identified the subject, the remainder of the sentence tells us what the subject does or did. This part of the sentence is the predicate of the sentence.

The predicate always includes the verb and the words which come after the verb. For example:

  • Michael Schumaker drove the race car.
    • "Michael Schumaker" is the subject; "drove the race car" is the predicate.
Top

More Advanced Terminology

The Object

Some verbs have an object (always a noun or pronoun). The object is the person or thing affected by the action described in the verb.

Objects come in two types, direct and indirect.

The direct object refers to a person or thing affected by the action of the verb.

For example:

  • "He opened the door. "- here the door is the direct object as it is the thing being affected by the verb to open.

The indirect object refers to a person or thing who receives the direct object.

For example:

  • " I gave him the book." - here him (he)is the indirect object as he is the beneficiary of the action.

Smoking is a bad habit that is very hard to break. Smokers are everywhere. Many people smoke just to socialize, but many others are too addicted to quit.

           A cigarette is like a toxin hypermarket. You can find many kinds of toxin in it: acetone, carbon monoxide, tar, arsenic, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, and toluene. The tar itself contains more than 43 substances that can cause cancer. Scientists say that when we are smoking, we put more than 4,000 kinds of toxic materials into our body.

            However, many smokers believed that a cigarette with low tar is less dangerous. And so is a filtered cigarette. But the problem is one cigarette is never enough for addicted smokers.       

            Another myth about smoking is that it cannot only make them awake but also raise their inspiration. This is contrary to the findings of a research in California which show that smokers’ ability to think is lower than of non-smokers.

            Smoking is indeed a serious social problem in our country. The government keeps reminding that smoking is dangerous, not only for smokers themselves, but also for other people in the surroundings (passive smokers). But the warnings do not seem to get any response.

Pertanyaannya adalah:

What is the communicative purpose of the above text?

a.   to persuade the readers that a certain things is the case

b.   to state the points of view of the case

c.   to explain the process of certain formation

d.   to describe the way things are

e.   to share experiences about the case

Saya benar – benar masih bingung dengan tujuan teks antara hortatory exposition dan analytical exposition karena saya pernah belajar kalau tujuan dari teks Analytical Exposition itu adalah ‘to convince the readers to agree with the writer’s viewpoint by analyzing a certain issue within the text.’ Sedangkan tujuan dari teks Hortatory Exposition itu adalah ‘to persuade the readers to accept the writer’s point of view by showing the information in a logical way.’

Saya juga pernah belajar kalau tujuan dari teks Analytical Exposition itu adalah ‘to persuade the reader or listener that something is the case.’ Sedangkan tujuan dari teks Hortatory Exposition itu adalah ‘to persuade the reader or listener that something should or should not be the case.’ Bagaimana perbedaannya ya, Pak/Bu karena sama – sama ada kata ‘to persuade’ sedangkan di teks bacaan – bacaan yang sudah saya pelajari itu kalau di Analytical Exposition paragraf terakhirnya berupa conclusion, tidak ada recommndationnya seperti teks “SMOKING” yang saya tanyakan diatas.

Jadi untuk teks “SMOKING” diatas jawaban yg benar yg mana ya, Pak/Bu? Yg A / yg B? Mohon penjelasannya.

            Durian is the fruit of trees from the genus durio belonging to the durionaceae family. Durian, native to Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia, has been known to the western world for about 600 years. The name of durian itself comes from the Malay word “duri” (thorn).

            Widely known in Southeast Asia as the “King of Fruits”, durian is distinctive for its large size, unique odor and formidable thorn-covered husk. The fruit can grow up to 30 centimeters long and 15 centimeters in diameter, and typically weighs one to three kilograms. Its shape ranges from oblong to round. The color of its husk ranges from green to brown, and its flesh ranges from pale-yellow to golden yellow, depending on the species.

            The edible flesh emits a distinctive odor, strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. The smell evoked reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust. The odor had led to the fruit’s banishment from certain hotels and public transportation. The flesh can be consumed at various stages of ripeness and it is used to flavor a wide variety of sweet edibles such as candy, ice cream, biscuits and milkshakes. The seeds can also be eaten when cooked.
