In addition, the police reported that the car, a small Japanese car, should not have been carrying more than five people. If the passengers had brought their identity cards, the police would have identified the names of the victims easily.

      Icebergs are mountains of freshwater ice floating in the         ocean. They are huge chunks broken off from the great masses of     land ice called GLACIERS.

                Almost all of Greenland and Antarctica are covered by          glaciers the year round. Glaciers also cover parts of Alaska.     They are formed by layers of packed snow. Glacier may be   thousands of meters thick. Their front ends, or tongues, reach down to the sea. At the coast the tips of the tongues break off, plunge into the oceans, and become icebergs. This process is           called CALVING.

                When calving occurs, a loud cracking noise fills the air.          Sometimes a low rumbling can be heard for hours before the ice    actually breaks away. People close enough can hear the hissing of          air as it escapes from bubbles bursting in the ice along the break.

                Glaciers calve all year round. Just as many icebergs break     off in winter as in summer. But in winter their passageaway to            open the sea is often jammed with masses of frozen seawater.    Icebergs pile up behind this jam of sea ice. In the spring, when the ice block is broken, a whole fleet of icebergs may sail out toward          the open ocean.

                Icebergs form the eastern coast of Greenland drift southward.            They are caused by the Greenland Current, which then swings         them northward around the tip of the island. Part of the way up the        coast the icebergs are caught in the cold Labrador Current and            carried southward toward New Found-land.

                On the way, most of the icebergs become grounded among   the many island and bays along the Labrador coast. The others    float on toward the open sea. Off New Found-land they are caught           by a warm current from the south called the Gulf Stream. Icebergs            that do not ground and remain in the Labrador Current often enter         the lanes used by ships crossing the Atlantic Ocean.

                An iceberg starts to break up almost as soon as it is afloat.    Cracks appear and become filled with water from ice that melts     during the day. When this melted water freezes at night, it expands         and widens the cracks. The ice is weakened, and pieces of iceberg           break off and float away. The iceberg becomes smaller and smaller.       Most icebergs melt completely within a few days of entering the          Gulf Stream.

      Pertanyaan saya adalah:

      Calving is ……………

      a.   the loud cracking noise in the air

      b.   the process of becoming icebergs

      c.   the coast tip falling down into the sea                        

      d.   the tongues of Glaciers reaching down to the sea

      e.   the plunging process of a certain part of Glaciers

      There has been a great deal of discussion on the problem of abortion. The discussion includes: “Is abortion legal or illegal?”

            When a country faces the problem of overpopulation, the government applied some methods to solve it. One of them is the method of contraception. However, this method is not one hundred percent effective and successful. Consequently, some people argue that the abortion is the only effective way out.

            Nevertheless, abortion may cause many negative effects for women’s health. Women risk their health and lives in bearing the weight of the operation and its consequences. The most common complications are inflammation, infertility, endometriosis and many other kinds of ovary illnesses.

b.   overpopulation problem

mohon bantuannya, apa bedanya regular dan irregular? terima kasih

Menurut maknanya 'regular' berarti teratur sedang 'irregular' tidak teratur.

Dalam bahasa Inggris istilah ini dipakai untuk membedakan beberapa makna seperti:

1. regular/irregular  verb yaitu pada perubahan kata kerja dalam bentuk present - past - past participle. Misalnya: work - worked - worked   (regular verb)

                                    play - played - played  (regular verb)

                                    go  - went - gone        (irregular verb)

                                    break - broke - broken   (irregular verb)

Terima kasih pak atas penjelasannya.

 

Bagaimana penjelasan untuk inefisiensi dari transformator ?

Tolong penjelasannya

 

Tks

Thalia

Inefisiensi adalah kebalikan dari efisiensi. Arti dari inefisiensi trafo adalah ketidakbergunaan trafo. dalam hal ini adalah sesuatu yang timbul atau terjadi pada trafo yang tidak memiliki manfaat atau justru merugikan.

For example adalah arus pusar eddy, yaitu arus pusar pada trafo (batang teras besi) yang akan menghasilkan panas pada trafo. Sehingga trafo mengalami ketidak, idealan karena energi listrik tidak seluruhnya di teruskan dari kumparan primer ke kumparan sekunder. Tetapi ada energi listrik yang menjadi panas, inilah penyebab utama ketidak idealan transformator.

Silahkan coba contoh lain.

1. bgmana cara mudah mngerjakan soal2 UN SmP en SmA yang notabene dgn pendekatan

contoh satu persatu.
3. cara menentukan itu text spoof dan anecdote coz perbedaan nya sangat tipis?
4. apakah text naratif itu cerita nya pasti KHAYAL?
mkasie, mungkin itu baru sedikit dulu.
Arif Nur Sidik (Program Pend. Bhs Inggris,UNS)

1. Pendekatan genre pada teks monolog sebenarnya bisa membantu siswa dalam mendalami isi teks terutama bila pertanyaan berkisar pada isi bahasan, tujuan penulisan sebuah teks, ide pokok tiap paragraph (karena ini berkaitan dengan generic structure tiap teks).

2. ADJECTIVE CLAUSES

At a certain point in your writing in English, you should be able to identify every sentence you write as simple, compound, or complex.  Two additional structures, adjective clauses and appositives, will give you a much greater sentence variety within which to accomplish your writing objectives.  This page contains a small amount of information about adjective clauses along with just ten very difficult exercises.  First, we will define what adjective clauses are and how they work.

Adding a Modifying Clause

Using a modifying clause with that.

Adding descriptive information for things.

  • that (subject or object pronoun)
  • the main sentence is the independent clause
  • the modifying phrase is the dependent clause

Example :

  • The car that is very small   is economical to drive.
  • The car that I want to buy   is economical to drive.

Relative Pronouns

  • Using a modifying clause with who, whom & that

Adding descriptive information for people and things

  • who
  • who(m)
  • that
  • which

Omitting an object pronoun.

Example :

  • The woman who called you is here.
  • The woman  (whom) you called is here.
  • Using a modifying clause with whose

Adding descriptive information for possession

  • whose (for people)

Example :

  • The woman  who is Greek is on the phone.
  • The woman  whose name is Greek is on the phone.
  • Using a modifying clause with when and where

Adding descriptive information for time and place

  • when (time)
  • where (place)

Example :

  • San Francisco  where the “flower children” began  is a colorful city.
  • The 1960s when the “flower children” thrived   was a colorful decade.
  • Adding a modifying clause with indefinite pronouns
    • whoever
    • whatever
    • whenever
    • wherever
    • however

Example :

  • Whoever you want, you can have on your team.
  • Whichever one you want, you can have.
  • Whatever you want, you can have.
  • Using a modifying clause with all of which

Adding descriptive information by telling “how much” . Expressions of quantity:

  • little of which
  • some of which
  • most of which
  • a few of which

Example :

  • The Walt Disney Company has several parks, all of which are run by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
  • California has a lot of visitors, most of whom come to see Disneyland
  • Using a modifying clause with whose or “the X of which”

Adding descriptive information for animate or inanimate possession

  • the X of which  (for things)
  • whose  (for people or things)

Example :

  • The car  the door of which I dented  cost a fortune to repair.
  • The car  whose door I dented  cost a fortune to repair.

v Identifying and Nonidentifying Clauses

  • Using a modifying clause to identify something – that vs. which

Talking about something specifically or “in general”

  • commas – if clause identifies the noun it modifies
  • no commas – if clause adds extra information to the noun it modifies

Example :

  • The water that I drank last night contained sodium.
  • The Evian water, which I drank last night, contained sodium.
  • Referring to something specific or to all – some or all
    • commas -–   refers to all (non-restrictive)
    • no commas – refers to a few or some -  specific (restrictive)

Example :

  • The bio-scientist who creates green energy will make a profit.
  • The bio-scientist, who creates green energy, will make a profit.
  • Referring to part (noun) or all of a clause
    • that  refers to a noun
    • which  can refer to a noun, phrase or clause

Example :

  • He deleted the picture that upset me. (The picture upset me.)
  • He deleted the picture, which upset me. (The action upset me.)

Reducing Clauses to Participial Phrases

  • Reducing a clause using [that + be] deletion

For example:

  • [who is] behind you
  • [that improves] improving his life
  • [which was improved] improved by ..

Example :

  • A talk show [which is] trying to improve its rating may plan a fight.
  • A talk show trying to improve its rating may plan a fight.
  • Reducing a clause by changing the verb to a present participle phrase

For example:

  • [who lives] living nearby
  • [that improves] improving his life
  • [which changes] changing his ways

Example :

  • Congress, [which consists] of two houses, is on a break.
  • Congress, consisting of two houses, is on a break.
  • Reducing a clause to a phrase using [that + be] deletion
    • [which was planned] planned as a …
    • [which was built ] built in 1937

Example : The Golden Gate Bridge, (which was) designed by Joseph Strauss, attracts tourists.

  • Modifying nouns with present & past participle phrases
    • passive verb – past participle phrase (-ed)
    • active verb –present participle phrase (-ing)

Example :

  • Alcatraz Island (that was) known as “The Rock”, was a maximum security prison.
  • Law enforcement agencies (who knew) knowing about the isolation of Alcatraz chose it as the ideal site for their new prison.

Agreement in Complex Sentences

  • Agreement in complex sentences:
    • with modifying phrases
    • with prepositional phrases

Example :

  • The monkey  under the bananas is hiding.
  • The monkeys  under the tree are hiding.

3. Untuk pertanyaan tentang teks Spoof silahkan anda mengirim kembali pertanyaan ke kategori layanan SMA Bahasa Inggris.

4. Pada umumnya narrative text memang cerita khayal, namun ada pula yang didasarkan pada peristiwa nyata. Namun penceritaan ulang bisa dikemas menjadi sebuah cerita, diskenario menjadi sebuah cerita yang memiliki alur menurut genre sebuah teks naratif. Contoh cerita dalam film ‘Titanic”.

 

Terimakasih kami juga terbuka terhadap masukan serta tambahan wawasan dari anda. Namun demikian layanan ini kami sediakan terutama bagi siswa-siswi SMP yang mengalami kesulitan dalam belajar bahasa Inggris.

Semoga bermanfaat.
