bu.bagaimana sih cara yang baik dalam mengajar anak dalam  usia pra SMP?

Untuk mengajarkan bahasa Inggris kepada anak pra SMP sangat penting untuk menciptakan suasana yang menyenangkan, sehingga kita harus kreatif untuk membuat kegiatan-kegiatan yang fun dan menarik sehingga anak-anak tidak akan bosan dan merasa selalu senang untuk belajar. Selain itu, sangat penting juga untuk membawa anak kepada objek yang nyata, dalam hal ini berarti kita belum dituntut untuk memberi sesutu yang bersifat abstrak seperti halnya tata bahasa.

Misalnya, mengajarkan kosa-kata dengan menggunakan game dan juga media-media lain yang menarik anak tersebut.

You may enclose your arguments on analytical exposition texts, as follow:

Analytical Exposition The function of this text is to persuade the readers or listeners that something is in the case. The generic structure is thesis/statement of position, arguments, reiteration or summing up/ reinforcement of position statement 

This text has language features such as: focus on generic human and non human participants, reasoning expressed as verbs and nouns, use of material, relation and mental process.

  SHOULD CHILDREN WEAR HATS AT SCHOOL?(Statement of position):I believe that you should always wear a hat at school when you are playing outside , to stop you from getting sunburn.(Argument 1): Firstly, if you don’t wear a hat, you will get sunburn ant the sunburn is painful. (Argument 2):Secondly, sunburn could lead to skin cancer. Sunburn can lead to health problems later in life. Many older people suffer from skin cancer which can kill them.(Reinforcement of position statement):In my opinion all school students should wear hats.  SHOULD MUSIC BE COMPULSORY IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL? (Statement of position): I believe that music should be compulsory in Junior High School.

Playing an instrument is interesting and enjoyable.

What the meaning of passive voice??

Passive voice

The passive voice is that form of the verb which represents the subject as being acted upon; or—

The passive voice is that form of the verb which represents the subject and the object by the same word.

A passive construction occurs when you make the object of an action into the subject of a sentence. That is, whoever or whatever is performing the action is not the grammatical subject of the sentence. Take a look at this passive rephrasing of a familiar joke:

Why was the road crossed by the chicken?

Who is doing the action in this sentence? The chicken is the one doing the action in this sentence, but the chicken is not in the spot where you would expect the grammatical subject to be. Instead, the road is the grammatical subject. The more familiar phrasing (why did the chicken cross the road?) puts the actor in the subject position, the position of doing something—the chicken (the actor/doer) crosses the road (the object). We use active verbs to represent that "doing," whether it be crossing roads, proposing ideas, making arguments, or invading houses (more on that shortly).

Once you know what to look for, passive constructions are easy to spot. Look for a form of "to be" (is, are, am , was, were, has been, have been, had been, will be, will have been, being) followed by a past participle. (The past participle is a form of the verb that typically, but not always, ends in "-ed." Some exceptions to the "-ed" rule are words like "paid" (not "payed") and "driven." (not "drived"). Here's a sure-fire formula for identifying the passive voice:

form of "to be" + past participle = passive voice

For example:

The metropolis has been scorched by the dragon's fiery breath.

When her house was invaded, Penelope had to think of ways to delay her remarriage.

NOTE: forms of the word "have" can do several different things in English.

For example, in the sentence "John has to study all afternoon," "had" is not part of a past-tense verb. It's a modal verb, like "must," "can," or "may"—these verbs tell how necessary it is to do something (compare "I have to study" versus "I may study").

And forms of "be" are not always passive, either—"be" can be the main verb of a sentence that describes a state of being, rather than an action. For example, the sentence "John is a good student" is not passive; "is" is simply describing John's state of being. The moral of the story: don't assume that any time you see a form of "have" and a form of "to be" together, you are looking at a passive sentence. "I have to be on time for the concert," for example, is not passive. Ask yourself whether there is an action going on in the sentence and, if so, whether whoever or whatever is doing that action is the subject of the sentence. In a passive sentence, the object of the action (e.g., the road) will be in the subject position at the front of the sentence. There will be a form of be and a past participle. If the subject appears at all, it will usually be at the end of the sentence, often in a phrase that starts with "by" (e.g., "by the chicken").

Let's briefly look at how to change passive constructions into active ones. You can usually just switch the word order, making the actor and subject one by putting the actor up front:

The metropolis has been scorched by the dragon's fiery breath.

becomes

The dragon scorched the metropolis with his fiery breath.

When her house was invaded, Penelope had to think of ways to delay her remarriage.

becomes

After suitors invaded her house, Penelope had to think of ways to delay her remarriage.

To repeat, the key to identifying the passive voice is to look for both a form of "to be" and a past participle, which usually, but not always, ends in "-ed."

 

When is it OK to use the passive?

Sometimes the passive voice is the best choice. Here are a few instances when the passive voice is quite useful:

1. To emphasize an object.Take a look at this example:

100 votes are required to pass the bill.

This passive sentence emphasizes the number of votes required. An active version of the sentence ("The bill requires 100 votes to pass") would put the emphasis on the bill, which may be less dramatic.

2. To de-emphasize an unknown subject/actor. Consider this example:

Over 120 different contaminants have been dumped into the river.

If you don't know who the actor is—in this case, if you don't actually know who dumped all of those contaminants in the river—then you may need to write in the passive. But remember, if you do know the actor, and if the clarity and meaning of your writing would benefit from indicating him/her/it/them, then use an active construction. Yet consider the third case.

3. If your readers don't need to know who's responsible for the action.

Here's where your choice can be difficult; some instances are less clear than others. Try to put yourself in your reader's position to anticipate how he/she will react to the way you have phrased your thoughts. Here are two examples:

Baby Sophia was delivered at 3:30 a.m. yesterday.(passive)

and

Dr. Susan Jones delivered baby Sophia at 3:30 a.m. yesterday.(active)

The first sentence might be more appropriate in a birth announcement sent to family and friends—they are not likely to know Dr. Jones and are much more interested in the "object"(the baby) than in the actor (the doctor). A hospital report of yesterday's events might be more likely to focus on Dr. Jones' role.

tolong di jelasin dengan lengkap apa sih comparasion of adjective itu

 

Yang Anda maksud adalah Degress of Comparison (Tingkat Perbandingan)

Dalam bahasa Inggris ada tiga perbandingan:

  1. Positive Comparison
  2. Comparative Comparison
  3. Superlative Comparison
 Positive Comparison (Perbandingan Sama)

ADJECTIVE

Contoh:

- Lusi’s bag is as expensive as Dewi’s.

- I am as beautiful as Dian Sastro.

So the pattern is : as + Adj + as

 Comparative Comparison (Perbandingan Lebih)

àOne Syllable Adjectives (Adj dengan satu suku kata)

Tambahkan '-er' di akhir Adj (kata sifat)

(Catatan: Jika Adj diakhiri huruf ‘y’, maka hilangkan huruf ‘y’ tsb dan gantilah dengan ‘ier’)

Example: hot - hotter

- Yesterday was hotter than today.

- This book is cheaper than that book.

 àTwo Syllable Adjectives Ending in '-y' (Adj dengan dua suku kata yg diakhiri huruf ‘-y’)

Example: happy - happier / funny - funnier

Example : Sentences

- I am happier than you.

- That joke was funnier than his joke.

 

àTwo, Three or More Syllable Adjectives (Adj dengan dua suku kata atau lebih) tambahkan ‘more’ sebelum Adjective.

Example: interesting - more interesting / difficult - more difficult

- London is more expensive than Madrid.

- This test is more difficult than the last test.

 Superlative Comparison (Perbandingan Paling)

Pola penyusunan Superlative:

Tambahkan ‘the’ sebelum Adjective dan tambahkan ‘- est’ diakhir Adjective.

àOne Syllable Adjectives (kata sifat dengan satu suku kata)

Example: cheap - the cheapest / hot - the hottest / high - the highest

- Today is the hottest day of the summer.

àTwo Syllable Adjectives Ending in '-y' place 'the' before the adjective and remove the 'y' from the adjective and add 'iest'

(Dua suku kata yang diakhiri ‘-y’, tambahkan ‘the’ sebelum kata sifat tersebut dan ganti ‘y’ dengan ‘-iest’.)

Example: happy - the happiest / funny - the funniest

- New York is the noisiest city in the USA.
