BECOMING NEWS ANCHOR

In discussing News Item, students class X in SMA N 1 Kertek Wonosobo Presenting their performance as a television News Anchor.

Here it is the video:

And here it is the picture bellow:

First performer:

And this following one:

They might not perfect yet, but they've tried to give their best performance, I give my salutation to them. Go go my student go!

SIMPLE PAST TENSE AND SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE

Kalimat Simple atau Sederhana secara umum hanya terdiri dari Subject + Verb/ to be + Object, seperti contoh di bawah ini:

1. Darla is very beautiful.
2. She was my best friend in elementary school.
3. She always got the first rank in my class.
4. She always make her parents happy.

Pertanyaannya sekarang adalah, yang manakah yang termasuk kalimat Past dan yang manakah yang termasuk kalimat Present? Apa yang membedakan antara kalimat Past dan kalimat Present? Apakah Subject, to be/ verb atau Object?

Perlu kita ketahui, bahwa Subject ataupun Object tidak mungkin bisa menjadi pembeda antara kalimat Past dan kalimat Present. Dan yang tersisa adalah verb ataupun to be. 

Betul sekali, dalam sebuah kalimat, yang bisa menjadi pembeda bahwa kalimat itu adalah Past atau kalimat itu adalah Present adalah verb ataupun to be-nya.

Mari kita lihat kembali contoh kalimat di atas.

• Darla is very beautiful; dan
• She always makes her parents happy.

is dan makes di atas mewakili kalimat Present

Kemudian kalimat yang lainnya:

• She was my best friend in elementary school.
• She always got the first rank in my class. 

sementara was dan got mewakili kalimat Past.

Let's check this

PRESENT	PAST
Verb 1 Ex.: sing	Verb 2 Ex.: sang
To be Am Is Are	To be Was Were
Have Has	Had
Do Does	Did
Can Will Shall May	Could Would Should Might

Sudah bisa kita lihat bukan apa yang harus di rubah dari Present ke Past ataupun sebaliknya. Adapun untuk perubahan Verb 1 ke Verb 2 akan kita pelajari lebih lanjut.

Watch This

taken from ABA English
Have you seen the dialogue above?

Yeah…. That dialogue is about three people, they are Frank, David and Suzanne. However, what are exactly they talking about?

Don’t you know that in one dialogue we can find many expressions? Watch carefully. Started from the first dialogue between Frank and David:

Frank                    : Hello David.

David                    : Hi Frank, how are you?

Frank                    : Fine thank, and you?

David                    : Very well, thank you.

What kind of expression above? That was GREETINGS

Greetings itself has two ways to said, they are Formal and Informal based on the occasion. And here are the expressions:And continuo to the next conversation, still between Frank, David and Suzanne:

General Greeting (Formal)                                        Response

• Hello                                                                  * Hello
• How are you?                                                    * I'm fine and you?    
• How is going on.                                                * I'm very well, thank you
• How is everything?
• How have you been keeping?                            * So am I.
• It's always pleasure to see you.
• I'm happy to see you.

General Greeting (Informal)

• Hi.                                                                    * Hi
• What's up?                                                        * Fine, and what about you?
• How is it going on?                                            * Fine, and you?
• It"s been such a long time.
• Long time no see

Frank                   : Oh David, this is Suzanne.

David                   : Hello Suzanne. My name is David. David Robinson.

Suzanne               : Hi, David. Nice to meet you.

David                   : Please to meet you, too.

That expression is INTRODUCING.

Introducing derived from the word Introduce, which has meaning ‘mengenalkan’ in Indonesian.             

Expressing Introduction can be: Introducing ourselves, and introducing someone else;

 Introducing ourselves consists of mentioning name, birth of date, hobby, address, etc. Such as:

Hello, may I introduce myself? My name is Kathy, my date of birth is August, 23th 1996, I live in Wonosobo, my hobby is singing.

While Introducing someone else can be seen in the conversation between three people above.

Go to the next conversation that we have heard above. This dialogue is only between David and Suzanne. Watch carefully!

Suzanne               : Nice party with interesting people.

David                    : Yeah, and one very pretty girl.

Suzanne               : What? A pretty girl?

What can you find on the conversation above? Did you see the underlined sentence above? What do you think they do? Yes, you’re right. They are complimenting each other. So, what exactly compliment means in Indonesian? Compliment has the Indonesian meaning ‘memuji’, you can see how Suzanne was complimenting the party and David give his compliment to Suzanne.

Beside that underlined sentence we can also use these following statements to compliment others.

Here are the expressions:
* What a nice clothes?
* You look great.
* I really must express my admiration for you.

* Excellent!
* Nice work.

* I’m so salute to you.
etc.
And they are usually responded by saying Thank you.

David                  : Thirsty?

       Here you are. A glass of champagne.

Suzanne               : Oh thank you David. You’re very kind.

And that’s the next expression. Can you define what expression above? That was an Offering Something. You can see that David was offering something to Suzanne.

1.       Offering can be divided into three, they can be:

2.       Offering Help

3.       Offering Something to other

OFFERING	ACCEPTING AN OFFER	REFUSING AN OFFER
Offering Help	·         Yes, please. ·         That’s very kind of you. ·         That would be nice. ·         Thanks a lot. ·         I’d love to. ·         Yes, please. ·         Many  thanks.	·         That’s very kind of you, but ….. ·         I appreciate that, but ….. ·         I’m sorry. ·         I’m sorry I can do myself. ·         I’d love to, but …… ·         Not for me, thanks. ·         No, thank you.
·         May I help you? ·         What can I do for you? ·         Is there anything I can do for you? ·         Would you like me to …. ·         I’d be happy to help you. ·         Shall I …. ·         Would you like me to …..
Offering Something
·         Would you like me to …… ·         Can I get you some ……. ·         Would you like some …… ·         Want some? ·         Here you are. A glass of champagne.

Well student, after you’ve read this, we may see that we can insert many expressions in one dialogue. Now, how about you? I’m sure that you understand. Let’s try to make the dialogue which containing many expressions, then ask your friend to practice it.

Good luck!

Never Say Never

oleh: Justin Bieber

[Featuring Jaden Smith]
Never say never (never never never)
Pick it up, pick, pick, pick it up
Pick it up, pick, pick, pick it up
Pick it up, pick, pick, pick it up
Pick it up, pick, pick, pick it up

You see I never thought that I could walk through fire
I never thought that I could take a burn
I never had the strength to take it higher
Until I reached the point of no return

And there's just no turnin’ back
When your heart's under attack
Gonna give everything I have
It's my destiny

I will never say never (I will fight)
I will fight till forever (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down
I will not stay on the ground
Pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up (up up up...)
And never say never (ne-never say never x3)

I never thought that I could feel this power
I never thought that I could feel this free
I'm strong enough to climb the highest tower
And I'm fast enough to run across the sea

Cuz there's just no turnin back
When your heart's under attack
Gonna give everything I have
Cuz this is my destiny

I will never say never (I will fight)
I will fight till forever (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down
I will not stay on the ground
Pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up (up up up...)
And never say never

Here we go
Guess who
J Smith and JB
uh huh
I got you lil' bro
I can handle him
Hold up, I, I can handle him
Now he's bigger than me, taller than me
And he's older than me, and stronger than me
And his arms are little bit longer than me
But it ain't on a JB song with me
I be tryna chill
They be tryna side with the thrill
No pun intended was raised by the power of will
Like Luke with the force if push comes to shove
Like Kobe with the fourth, ice water with blood (Let's go!)
I gotta be the best
And yes we're the flyest
Like David and Goliath
I conquered the giant
So now I got the world in my hand
I was born from two stars
So the moon's where I land

Yeah
I will never say never (I will fight)
I will fight till forever (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down
I will not stay on the ground
Pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up (up up up...)
And never say never

Never say never

I will never say never (never say never)
I will fight till forever (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down
I will not stay on the ground
Pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up (up up up...)
And never say never (ne-never say never, never say it x3)
And never say never (ne-never say never x3)
And never say never
