mbak perbedaan miss dengan lose

"to lose" is like when you wake up in the morning and you can't find your keys... you have lost them, and so you walk around the house trying to find them so that you aren't late...

"to miss" is like when you broke up with your significant other and you are kind of sad about it still... you miss that person, and feel that something is missing in your life. It can also be like when you are aiming at a target and you ... miss. :) You don't hit it. :)

THE LEGEND OF CRYING STONES
A long long time ago in west Sumatra, Indonesia there was a fisherman and his wife who lived in a village by the sea. They had only one son. His name was Malin Kundang. They lived a simple life because as a fisherman the husband did not earn much money. Life got harder for Malin and his mother when his father did not return from the sea. Perhaps a storm had swollen his boat or maybe a big fish attacked him. Day by day passed and they kept waiting for him. But Malin’s father never returned. So little Malin had to help her mother sold cookies in a local market.
One day there was a big ship came to the beach of their village. It was a merchant ship. Everybody came to see it including Malin. He was very impressed by what he saw. Hoping to change his life he applied for a job and he was lucky. He was recruited by the ship owner. Then Malin left his mother and his village.
Many years gone by without any news from Malin. Malin’s mother missed him so much. Everyday she looked at the sea, hoping to see Malin came home. She always prayed to God that Malin become a successful merchant. Then God heard her pray.
On a beautiful day there was a big ship came to the beach. Many people came there to see it. Malin’s mother was expectant. She was sure that it was Malin’s ship. So she hurriedly came to the beach. When she was there she asked someone that she wanted to see the owner of the ship. Then a lovely lady met her. She wore a luxurious dress and jewellry. She was Malin’s wife.
‘Is Malin Kundang here?’ (1)
“Do you know Malin?” (2)
‘Yes, of course I know him, he’s my son!’
‘But Malin told me he had no mother. She passed away a long time ago’. (3)
Malin’s mother was very surprised to hear her answer. Then Malin came. Her wife asked him.
‘This poor woman said that you are his son’
Malin Kundang who had became a rich merchant and had a wife from a rich family was ashame with his mother who looked poor. He denied his humble background. So when her mother hugged him he repelled her.
‘Malin, my son, I miss you so much’.
‘Who are you? I am not your son’. (4)
Malin’s mother was was crying. She was really irritated. Her heart was deeply hurt. Then she prayed to God. And she cursed Malin.
Suddenly there was a storm. The sea was raging. Big wave came and Malin’s ship was rushed ashore and destroyed. And Malin suddenly changed into a stone statue. Today people can see Malin’s statue in Teluk Bayur beach in west Sumatra. When there is a storm or rain people often hear someone’s crying. They believe it is Malin’s cry.

 

1.        She asked if Malin Kundang was there.

2.        She asked if she knew Malin.

3.        She said that Malin had told her he had had no mother. She had passed away a long time before.

4.        He asked who she was, he was not her son.

kak Tolong Kasih Tau Contoh Dialog Certainty Dan Uncertainty Tentang Makanan Yang Dibuat Saya!

 Contoh dialog:

 

Rimmy  : Are you sure it’s the correct steps of making this traditional cake, Dian?

Dian                 : I’m certain to  the way of cooking but I doubt with the amount of flour and grated coconut for good portion.

Rimmy              : Well, you do the steps right, but I wonder why the dough is stuck on the pan. There must be something wrong with the dough.

Dian                 : Let me think about it. Well.  I’m sure we need more fat for it but it’s no oil must be used, for sure.

Rimmy  : You’re right. Maybe we can add more grated coconut to make it greasy.

Dian                 : Good idea. Let’s try again.

 

Dalam dialog di atas “Are you sure …..? adalah contoh pemakaian ungkapan meminta kepastian. “I’m certain “ dan “I’m sure “ mengungkapkan kepastian. Sedangkan

I doubt” adalah ungkapan ketidakpastian/keraguan (uncertainty).

Tolong buatkan teks news item beserta letak generic structure dan kalimat-kalimat dalam teks tersebut yang masuk pada

Language features news item:

  • Use of action verbs
  • Use of saying verbs
  • Use of passive sentences
Saya harap bisa secepatnya, karena saya kurang mengerti dengan materi ini.

Action Verbs

Action verbs are verbs that specifically describe what the subject of the sentence is doing. These types of verbs carry a great deal of information in a sentence and can convey emotion and a sense of purpose that extends beyond the literal meanings of the words. A sentence like The band appeared on the scene sounds much more less impressive than the sentence The band erupted onto the scene. The power of the action verb lies in the meaning and intention that they contain and how they bring direction and force to the sentence. Understanding the types of action verbs will make students better writers and communicators.

Types of Action Verbs

Regular Verbs

The following chart shows how the different verb forms for regular verbs:

Base:  To discover.

·        Present I discover something new every day.

·        Present progressive I am discovering myself.

·        Present perfect I have discovered a new way.

·        Present perfect progressive I have been discovering new music.

·        Past I discovered that already.

·        Past progressive I was discovering something this morning.

·        Past perfect  I had discovered that I was lost.

·        Past perfect progressive I had been discovering an interesting place.

·        Future I will discover that when I get there.

·        Future progressive I am discovering that tomorrow.

·        Future perfect I will have discovered that by the time I get home.

·        Future perfect progressive I will have been discovering that for week by the time you arrive.

Irregular Verbs

Irregular verbs don't conform to the above spelling rules and therefore must be learned individually. The following is an example of an irregular verb:

Base To drink.

·        Present I drink when I am thirsty.

·        Present progressive I am drinking orange juice.

·        Present perfect She has drunk the new cocktail.

·        Present perfect progressive I have been drinking plenty of water.

·        Past I drank my share of water.

·        Past progressive I was drinking coffee when you called.

·        Past perfect I had drunk all the tea in the pitcher.

·        Past perfect progressive The team had been drinking Gatorade before we got here.

·        Future I will drink hot cider tonight.

·        Future progressive I am going to drink homemade wine.

·        Future perfect He will have drunk everything in sight by morning.

·        Future perfect progressive I will be drinking sweet tea when we get to Carolina.

SAYING VERBS

Masih ingat Direct and Indirect Speech?

  • "I will stay here for along time." My grandma said.
  • Teacher ordered me, "collect your work in my table!"

Ini bukan tentang Direct and Indirect Speech yang akan kita bicarakan disini, ini tentang kata-kata yang dicetak tebal pada contoh diatas. Kita banyak menjumpai kata-kata semacam itu pada kalimat Direct atau kalimat langsung, tapi apa sebenarnya fungsi dari kata-kata diatas?

Kata-kata diatas disebut sebagai Saying Verbs, saying verb adalah kata yang digunakan untuk mengindikasikan suatu percakapan. adapun contoh-contoh dari Saying Verbs antara lain:

Saying Verbs biasanya merupakan Verb past, atau bentuk lampau, kendatipun ada beberapa yang present, tapi seringnya mereka adalah kata kerja bentuk lampau, karena Saying Verbs yang digunakan pada Direct Speech lebih banyak terdapat pada teks Narrative, sementara seperti kita ketahui bahwa Language Feature dari Narrative Text itu sendiri adalah Past Tense.

 

Passive Voice

Use of Passive

Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action.

Example: My bike was stolen.

In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my bike was stolen. I do not know, however, who did it.

Sometimes a statement in passive is more polite than active voice, as the following example shows:

Example: A mistake was made.

In this case, I focus on the fact that a mistake was made, but I do not blame anyone (e.g. You have made a mistake.).

Form of Passive

Subject + finite form of to be + Past Participle (3rd column of irregular verbs)

Example: A letter was written.

When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following:

  • the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence
  • the finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle)
  • the subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence (or is dropped)

Examples of Passive Level: lower intermediateLevel 2

a letter.

Passive:

Conditional I

Active:

a letter.

Passive:

A letter

would be written

by Rita.

Conditional II

Active:

Rita

would have written

a letter.

Passive:

A letter

would have been written

by Rita.

Passive Sentences with Two Objects

Rewriting an active sentence with two objects in passive voice means that one of the two objects becomes the subject, the other one remains an object. Which object to transform into a subject depends on what you want to put the focus on.

 

Subject

Verb

Object 1

Object 2

Active:

Rita

wrote

a letter

to me.

Passive:

A letter

was written

to me

by Rita.

Passive:

I

was written

a letter

by Rita.

.

As you can see in the examples, adding by Rita does not sound very elegant. Thats why it is usually dropped.

tolong buatkan karangan tentang pengalaman, menggunakan verb1 dan verb2. pengalaman apa saja, plus bhs indonesiannya juga yah, thanks :)

Rahman, my roommate, and I had a great weekend. Last Saturday we got up early and had a big breakfast. Then we took the bus to go downtown and went to an art museum. The museum opened at nine o’clock and we stayed there all morning.
We saw some beautiful paintings. We had a guide who explained everything to us. I liked all the art, but Ryan didn’t like the modern art very much. I bought copies of two paintings. I’m going to put them on the wall of my bedroom.
At one o’clock, we were hungry so we had lunch at the museum cafeteria. After lunch, we took a walk in the park near the museum. We went home at five o’clock. We were very tired, but we had a good time. On Sunday we stayed home and studied.
