Space Exploration -Voyagers 1 and 2

The Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts left Earth in 1977 on a five-year mission. Their mission was to
reach Jupiter and Saturn and send information back to earth about them. Jupiter and Saturn are
the largest planets in the solar system. In 1981, they finished their mission. But, they kept going.
Scientists decided to plan a longer trip for them: they would travel even further until they
reached Uranus and Neptune.

Voyagers 1 and 2 are very efficient. They were built with no moving parts. They use the
breakdown, or the decay, of the space element plutonium to create fuel. They can each get the
equivalent of 30,000 miles per gallon of gasoline! They were made to be able to work in
radioactive environments. The gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are very
radioactive places.

So far, Voyagers 1 and 2 have sent information back to Earth from farther away than any other
spacecraft. Scientists have learned about the atmospheres, interiors, and rings of the gas giant
stars. They have also learned about the moon of these stars. Scientists think that they will keep
getting information from Voyagers 1 and 2 until about 2020. At that time, the power on the
Voyagers 1 and 2 will not be strong enough to send information back to Earth.

Chemical Elements
Elements make up everything in the world. Elements are the basic substances that we cannot
divide into simpler substances. We group elements by the things they have in common what
they look like, how they react with other substances, if they conduct electricity, etc. We group
elements into nine official groups. The element, Hydrogen is in a group by itself. It is different
from all the other elements.
Hydrogen is a basic substance. 90% of all atoms in the universe are hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen
atoms are the lightest atoms. Hydrogen got its name from the scientist Lavoisier. Lavoisier
noticed that hydrogen atoms are always present in water. The word root Hydro means water.
Therefore, it was intuitive to represent hydrogen with the letter H.
The second group is the alkaline-earth metals. You can find these elements in the earths crust.
They react with water. This group of elements contains elements such as Calcium. Calcium is a
basic substance found in substances like milk and chalk. It is a member of the second group of
elements. Some other members of the second group are beryllium and magnesium.
The third group is the alkali metals. These elements react very strongly with water. They might
even explode if they touch water. This group of elements contains elements such as Sodium.
Sodium is an element found in table salt. Scientists represent sodium with the letters Na. Some
other members of the third group are lithium and potassium.
The fourth group of elements includes metals. It is the largest group of elements. It includes iron,
silver, gold, nickel, platinum and titanium. Elements in this group conduct electricity. They are
hard and shiny. Members of this group are called the transition metals.
The fifth group of elements is the actinides. The elements in this group are radioactive metals.
Most of the members of this group are synthetic elements. They are non-natural elements. They
are made in special labs. Some members of this group are uranium and plutonium.
The sixth group of elements is the lanthanides. Some people call this group the rareearth
elements. Some people call them the innertransition elements. These metals are silver or
silverywhite. They conduct electricity very well. They tarnish when they come into contact with
air.
The seventh group consists of the nonmetals. Carbon is a member of this group. Every living
thing depends on carbon. Oxygen is also a member of this group. We take in oxygen and exhale
carbon dioxide (which is a combination of carbon and oxygen) when we breathe.
The eighth group consists of the inert gases. They are called inert gases because they do not
react easily with other substances. Most of these gases are present in lighting. When a current of
electricity goes through neon, it glows red. Some other members of this group are argon and
xenon. This group is sometimes called Group Zero or Group 0.
The ninth group consists of the poor metals. These metals are different from the metals in the
fourth group because these metals are soft. These metals melt easily. They also mix well with
other metals to form alloys. Both lead and aluminum are poor metals.
The last group consists of the semimetals. The members of this group are like metals in some
ways. They are also like nonmetals in some ways. Some semimetals are arsenic and bismuth.
Depending on which other substances touch them, they can be conductors of electricity or they
can insulate, or rotect, substances from electricity. Some scientists call the semimetals double
metals because of their structure.

3. Possessive adjective

Kata sifat ini digunakan di depan kata benda atau di depan gerund.
.

4. Quantitative Adjective

Kata sifat yang menunjukkan berapa banyak (how much) sesuatu benda yang dimaksudkan.
Kata-kata sifat utama yang termasuk kategori ini meliputi:

much (= a large quantity of) banyak


little (= a small quantity of) sedikit
no (= not any) tak ada sesuatu apapun
some (= a certain quantity of) sejumlah tertentu
any ( = any quiantity of) sejumlah sedikit
enough (= sufficient) cukup
whole seluruh
half setengah
Adjective of quantity selalu diikuti oleh kata benda tunggal, dan kata benda ini harus selalu
merupakan kata benda material atau kata benda abstrak, misalnya much bread, much butter,
much sugar (material), much pain (= a high degree of pain) rasa sakit yang sangat (kata benda
abstrak). Oleh karena itu adjective of quantity disebut juga adjective of degree.

5. Numeral Adjective

Kata sifat yang menunjukkan berapa banyak (how many) benda atau dalam urutan berapa.
Numeral adjective dibagi kedalam dua golongan :

(a) Definite numeral (bilangan tertentu)

Bilangan-bilangan yang menunjukkan berapa banyak benda yang ada yaitu bilangan cardinal
(one, two, three), bilangan ordinal (first, second, third) dan bilangan multi-plicative (one only,
twofold, threefold).

(b) Indefinite numeral (bilangan tak tentu)

Menunjukkan bilangan jenis tertentu tanpa mengatakan secara tepat berapa jumlahnya. Seperti

all, some, enough, no, many, few, several, dan sundry.

Definite numeral dapat dijadikan indefinite dengan meletakkan kata some atau about di
depannya,

Some ten men were absent. Kurang lebih sepuluh orang tidak hadir

6. Demonstrative Adjective

Kata sifat ini membatasi pemakaian kata benda pada orang atau benda itu diharapkan supaya
ditunjukkan oleh kata sifat itu. Kata-kata sifat jenis ini dibagi lagi dalam dua golongan utama:

(a) Definite demonstrative (kata sifat penunjuk tertentu)

Apabila orang atau benda ditunjukkan secara tepat, misalnya this woman, kata sifat itu disebut
definite demostrative.

the
this/these
that/those
yon, yonder
such
the same
self-same
the other
(b) Indefinite demonstrative (kata sifat penunjuk tak tertentu)

Apabila orang atau benda ditunjukkan dalam suatu pengertian umum/tidak secara tepat, kata sifat
itu disebut indefinite demonstrative.

a,an
one
any
a certain
such
some
another/other
any other

Kata sifat the umumnya disebut definite article (kata sandang tertentu) dan a atau an disebut
indefinite article (kata sandang tak tertentu).

7. Distributive Adjective

Membatasi pemakaian kata benda dengan menunjukkan bahwa orang atau benda yang
ditunjukkan oleh kata benda digunakan satu demi satu, atau dalam bagian-bagian yang terpisah.
Kata sifat golongan ini ada empat buah : each, every, either dan neither.

(a) Each

Each berarti salah satu dari dua benda, atau salah satu dari dua bilangan apa saja yang melebihi
dua. contoh:

The two students had each a pen. Dua orang siswa ini masing-masing mempunyai sebuah pena

(b) Every

Every tidak dipakai untuk salah satu dari dua, melainkan untuk bilangan tertentu yang melebihi
dua. contoh:

Every man (out of the fifteen present) had a gun. Tiap orang (dari lima belas orang yang hadir)
mempunyai sebuah senapan.

Catatan :

Every adalah kata yang lebih kuat daripada each dan berarti tiap-tiap tanpa kekecualian
.
Every five hours berarti setiap jangka waktu lima jam, lima jam diambil secara kolektif
sebagai satu periode/jangka waktu.
Every other berarti setiap yang kedua, setiap dua sekali atau berselang, seperti every
other day (dua hari sekali), every other week (dua minggu sekali).
(c) Either

Ini mempunyai dua arti: salah satu dari dua, atau setiap dari dua, yaitu keduanya. contoh:

You can take either side, that is, one side or the other. Anda boleh mengambil salah satu sisi,
yaitu sisi yang satu atau sisi yang lain

(d) Neither

Ini adalah bentuk negatif dari either dan berarti yang satu tidak, yang lain juga tidak (kedua-
duanya tidak). contoh:

You should take neither side, that is, neither this side nor that, neither the one side nor the other.
Anda seharusnya tidak mengambil salah satu sisi, yaitu sisi yang ini tidak, sisi yang itu juga
tidak, sisi yang satu tidak, sisi yang lain juga tidak

Dua Cara Pemakaian Kata Sifat

1) Attributive use (pemakaian atributif)

Suatu kata sifat dipakai secara atributif, apabila kata sifat digunakan di depan kata benda yang
diterangkan:

A noble deed
A lame cat

Semua kata sifat asli dapat dipakai secara atributif, kecuali glad lazimnya hanya dipakai secara
predikatif, misalnya I am glad to meet you.

Participle atau verbal adjective dapat dipakai sebagai kata sifat, contoh :

A retired president. Seorang presiden purnawirawan


Retired pay. Uang pensiun

Adverb (kata tambahan) dengan participle (partisip) tertentu dapat digunakan untuk adjective.
contoh:

The then King.

Gerund (kata kerja bentuk ing yang berfungsi sebagai kata benda) dipakai sebagai kata sifat.
contoh:

A bathing place.
A swimming pool
2) Predicative use (pemakaian predikatif)

Suatu kata sifat dipakai secara predikatif, apabila kata sifat digunakan setelah predikat
suatu kalimat.

Her character is noble.


That cat went lame.

ADVERBS

Adverb (kata keterangan) adalah kata yang dipakai untuk menerangkan bagian dari tata bahasa
yang mana saja kecuali kata benda dan kata ganti. Berikut beberapa fungsi adverb.

Biofuels and the Environment

Leading investors have joined the growing chorus of concern about governments and companies
rushing into producing biofuels as a solution for global warming, saying that many involved in
the sector could be jeopardizing future profits if they do not consider the long-term impact of
what they are doing carefully.

It is essential to build sustainability (menopang) criteria into the supply chain of any green fuel
project in order to ensure that there is no adverse (merugikan) effect on the surrounding
environment and social structures. The report produced by the investors expresses concern that
many companies may not be fully aware of the potential pitfalls (perangkap) in the biofuel
sector.

Production of corn and soya beans has increased dramatically in the last years as an eco-friendly
alternative to fossil fuels but environmental and human rights campaigners are worried that this
will lead to destruction of rain forests. Food prices could also go up as there is increased
competition for crops as both foodstuffs and sources of fuel. Last week, the UN warned that
biofuels could have dangerous side effects and said that steps need to be taken to make sure that
land converted to grow biofuels does not damage the environment or cause civil unrest. There is
already great concern about palm oil, which is used in many foods in addition to being an
important biofuel, as rain forests are being cleared in some countries and people driven from
their homes to create palm oil plantations.

An analyst and author of the investors' report says that biofuels are not a cure for climate change
but they can play their part as long as governments and companies manage the social and
environmental impacts thoroughly. There should also be greater measure taken to increase
efficiency and to reduce demand. (SOURCE:???????)

GRAMMAR FOCUS

INFINITIVE

Infinitive adalah verbal berbentuk kata kerja dasar yang umumnya ditambah to di depannya,
misalnya to eat, to say, to run, to work, to study. Seperti halnya dengan gerund, infinitive pun
dapat berfungsi sebagai kata benda (noun). Dengan fungsinya sebagai kata benda, maka
infinitive to dapat juga sebagai subjek dari suatu kalimat. Bedanya, penggunaan infinitive lebih
luas daripada gerund yang hanya berfungsi sebagai kata benda. Infinitive mempunyai tiga fungsi,
yaitu sebagai kata benda (noun), kata sifat (adjective), dan kata keterangan (adverb).

Infinitive sebagai subjek sebuah kalimat

- To eat is a necessity ( makan adalah suatu kebutuhan )


- To understand French is not easy.
- To dry a sea is nonsense.

Infinitive sebagai objek sebuah kalimat


- It is time to go.
- I like to eat.

Berikut adalah kata kerja yang diikuti oleh to infinitive:


afford, agree, appear, arrange, ask, attempt, beg, care, claim, consent, decide, demand, desire,
dare, expect, forget, hesitate,hope, intend, learn, manage, mean, need, offer, plan, prepare,
pretend, promise, refuse, regret, seem, struggle, strive, swear, threaten, tend, try, wait, invite,
teach, allow, encourage, tell, order, urge, forbid, permit, want, cause, force, persuade, warn,
remind, challenge, convince, require.

Infinitive sebagai kata sifat (adjective)


- I have the money just to pay this ticket.
- My mother always has money to spend
Infinitive sebagai kata keterangan (adverb)
- I come to meet you.
- We read to get new information.

Infinitives juga bisa dikombinasikan dengan be dan have sebagai kata kerja bantu (auxiliaries)
untuk membentuk konstruksi waktu.
Perhatikan bentuk infinitives berikut ini:

Continuous --> to be sitting


- Its nice to be sitting there.

Perfect --> to have seen


- He is glad to have seen you.

Perfect continuous --> to have been sitting


- Id like to have been sitting there when she walked in

Bentuk infinitives (passive):

Simple --> to be watered


The tomato field needs to be watered.

Perfect --> to have been written


- It ought to have been done when it was being moved.

Catatan
Setelah modal auxiliary verbs, infinitive yang digunakan adalah infinitive tanpa to. Modal
auxiliary verbs yang tidak boleh memakai to sesudahnya adalah will, shall, would, could, can,
may, might, must, should, dan needn't (tetapi bukan need to).

GERUND
Gerund adalah kara kerja (verb) yang ditambah ing (verb + ing) dan berfungsi sebagai kata
benda (noun). Dengan kata lain gerund adalah kata kerja yang dibendakan/diubah menjadi kata
benda dengan menambahkan ing. Dalam kalimat bahasa Inggris, gerunds mempunyai beberapa
fungsi, yaitu:

Gerunds sebagai subject


Listening music is my hobby.
Sky diving is better than running.

Gerunds sebagai object


I like writing.
She goes running every morning.
Kata kerja berikut memerlukan gerund sebagai object:
Admit, Advise, Allow, Anticipate, Appreciate , Avoid, Begin, Cease, Complete, Consider,
continue, Defend, Delay, Deny, Despise, Discuss, Dread, Encourage, Enjoy, Finish, Forget,
Hate, Imagine, Involve, Keep, Like, Love, Mention, Miss, Neglect, Permit, Postpone, Practice,
Prefer, Propose, Quit, Recall, Recollect, Recommend, Regret, Remember, Report, Require,
Resent, Resist, Risk, Start, Stop, Suggest, Tolerate, Try, Understand, Urge.

Gerunds sebagai pelengkap subjek


Biasanya selalu didahului to be yang terletak di antara subject dan pelengkap subjek:
Her favorite sport is running.

Gerunds sebagai object preposisi


Biasanya gerund ini bentuk ini terletak setelah preposisi, misalnya; for, before, without, in, at,
after.
I will wash the dresses after eating.
You cannot be rich man without working hard.

Gerunds untuk larangan


No Smoking area!
No parking here!

Gerunds setelah possessive adjective


Thanks for your joining my party.
Gerunds sebagai appositive/penegas
His method, shooting and killing, eventually came to an end.
She has a bad habit, gambling.
Her favorite exercise, swimming in the pool, makes her body strong.
That difficult work, sawing hard woo, makes him exhausted
PASSIVE VOICE

Passive voice merupakan suatu bentuk gramatikal dimana subject menerima aksi / ditindaklanjuti
oleh agent lain. Rumus umum dari konstruksi ini yaitu: S + auxiliary verb + past participle.
Perubahan yang terjadi pada bentuk ini hanya pada aux. verbnya saja, sedangkan past
participlenya tidak berubah.

Auxiliary untuk membentuk konstruksi pasif pada tenses dapat berupa auxiliary be (is, are, was,
were), kombinasi antara dua primary auxiliary (is/are being, was/were being, has/have been),
atau antara primary auxiliary dengan modal verb (will be, will have been). Auxialiary tersebut
kemudian dipadukan dengan past participle untuk membentuk passive verb form. Adapun rumus
dan contoh passive voice pada beberapa macam tenses dapat dilihat pada tabel sebagai berikut.

Tenses Rumus Contoh

Present Simple am/is/are + past participle The crafts are made of wood.
Continuous am/is/are + being + past The room is being cleaned.
participle
Perfect has/have + been + past participle Your requests have been approved.
Past Simple was/were + past participle The mansion was built in 1990.
Continuous was/were + being + past Your gown was being washed.
participle
Perfect had + been+ past participle The fence had been painted in green.
Future Simple will + be + past participle The packet will be sent immediately.
Perfect will + have + been + past The article will have been read
participle ninety times.

Passive Voice pada Infinitive

Bentuk pasif dari Infinitive phrase (frasa infinitive) dapat berperan sebagai subject, object,
maupun modifier pada suatu kalimat. Rumus dan contoh bentuk pasif pada infinitive adalah
sebagai berikut.

(to) be + past participle

To be accompanied with him is a bad idea. (Subject)


Everyone needs to be loved. (Object)
He is the man to be trusted for all the things. (Modifier)

Passive Voice pada Gerund


Bentuk pasif pada gerund dapat berfungsi sebagai subject, object, maupun object of preposition
dalam suatu kalimat. Berikut rumus dan contoh bentuk pasif pada gerund.
being + past participle
Contoh:

Being accompanied with him is a bad idea. (Subject)


My brother enjoyed being taken to the beach. (Object)
My brothers happy of being taken to the beach. (Object of preposition)

PARTICIPLE
Present Participle
Present participle adalah kata yang dibentuk dengan menambahkan suffix (akhiran) -ing
pada base form dari verb (verb+ing). Kadang-kadang terjadi doubling pada konsonan di akhir
kata kerja tersebut.

run+ing > running


swim+ing > swimming

Present participle merupakan satu dari lima verb form yang dimiliki oleh verb, baik regular
maupun irregular verb.

Base Present Past Present Past


Form Tense Tense Participle Participle

sing sing(s) sang singing sung

read read(s) read reading read

Secara umum, participle dapat berfungsi sebagai sebagai verb atau verbal.

Present Participle sebagai Verb

Sebagai verb, present participle digunakan sebagai komponen dari multiple verbs bersama verb
to be/auxiliary verb [aux+present participle] untuk membentuk progressive/ continuous dan
perfect continous tense. Present participle juga digunakan pada passive voice dari continuous
tense, baik present maupun past. Bentuk passive pada perfect continuous sebaiknya dihindari
karena rumit dan tidak elegan.

Verb Contoh Keterangan


Present continuous He is smiling to you. is= auxiliary
(Dia sedang tersenyum padamu.)
Present perfect Those toddlers have been sleeping for an have, been= auxiliary
continuous hour.
(Balita-balita itu telah tidur selama satu
jam.)
Past continuous The workers were queuing for their were= auxiliary
salaries.
(Para pekerja sedang mengantri gaji.)
Past perfect The labors had been demonstrating for had, been= auxiliary
continuous two hours before you came.)
(Para buruh telah berdemonstrasi selama
dua jam sebelum kamu datang.)
Future continuous She will be working at the office. will, be= auxiliary
(Dia akan sedang bekerja di kantor.)
Future perfect That cat will have been sleeping long. will, have, been= auxiliary
continuous (Kucing itu akan telah tidur lama.)
Passive Present The book is being read by him. is= auxiliary, being= present
continuous (Buku tersebut sedang dibaca olehnya.) participle dari auxiliary be
Passive Past Your gown was being washed. was= auxiliary, being= present
continuous (Gaunmu sedang dicuci.) participle dari auxiliary be

Present Participle sebagai Verbal

Sebagai verbal, participle berfungsi sebagai adjective. Sebagai kata sifat, verbal ini berfungsi
memodifikasi/menjelaskan noun. Ada pula bentuk verb+ing yang lain yang berfungsi
sebagai noun, yaitu gerund. Walaupun sama-sama berbentuk verb+ing, namun penggunaan
keduanya sangat berbeda. Penggunaan present participle sebagai adjective dapat dilihat pada
noun phrase dan reduced adjective clause pada active voice.
The singing birds.
Interesting story.
Dengan demikian singing dan interesting di atas merupakan present participle yang berfungsi
menjelaskan bird dan story.

Pada reduksi adjective clause, relative pronoun dan verb to be (jika ada) dihapus serta
ditambahkan -ing pada active verb (jika berbentuk present atau past, bukan progress-sive),
sehingga membentuk present participle (phrase).

Contoh Present Participle pada Reduced Adjective Clause

Keterangan

SOURCE OF ENERGY

Nearly all energy comes from the sun, either in a roundabout way or straight from it, in the
form of heat rays and light rays. The light from the moon, too, comes from the sun. The moon
can be said to be like a large mirror which throws back the suns light to the earth. Electrical
energy comes from the sun in a roundabout way; e.g. it can come from the power of water falling
down a mountainside. The water fell there as rain, and we know that rain is made by the suns
heat evaporating the water on the earths surface. This water vapour rises, condenses on cooling,
and falls as rain.
The light and heat energy from coal also comes from the sun in a roundabout way. Coal was
made by the rocks pressing von trees and plants which died millions of years ago. Those trees
and plants grew with the aid of sunlight, from which they made carbohydrates, in this way
changing the suns energy into chemical energy. When we burn coal, some of this energy is set
free.
Energy which we use to drive car engines comes from petrol, which also was made with the aid
of the sun in a roundabout way. Plants, and animals which ate the plants, died millions of years
ago, and the parts of them that were left were pressed under the rock in the earth. These parts left
from dead animals and plants made petroleum, from which petrol and oil are now obtained.
Thus we can say that the sun is the place where nearly all energy comes from, and that without
the suns heat and light, there could be no life on earth.

READING COMPREHENSION
Pollution

Thick black smoke curling out of smokestacks, horribletasting chemicals in your drinking
water, pesticides in your food these are examples of pollution. Pollution is any contamination
of the environment which causes harm to the environment or the inhabitants of the environment.
There are many kinds of pollution, and there are many pollutants. Some obvious kinds of
pollution are pollution of the air, soil, and water. Some less obvious, or less salient, kinds of
pollution are radioactive, noise, light pollution, and green-house gasses.
Air pollution can be caused by particles, liquids, or gases that make the air harmful to breathe.
There are two main types of air pollution: primary and secondary. Primary pollutants enter the
air directly, like smoke from factories and car exhaust. Secondary pollutants are chemicals that
mix together to pollute the air, like mixtures of emissions, or waste output, from vehicles and
factory smoke that change to form more dangerous pollutants in the air and sunlight.
Soil pollution can be caused by pesticides, leakage from chemical tanks, oil spills, and other
chemicals which get into the soil by dumping or accidental contamination. Soil pollution can
also cause water pollution when underground water becomes contaminated by coming into
contact with the polluted soil.
Water pollution can be caused by waste products, sewage, oil spills, and litter in streams, rivers,
lakes, and oceans. Some scientists believe that water pollution is the largest cause of death and
disease in the world, causing about 14,000 deaths in the world each day.
Radioactive pollution can be caused by leaks or spills of radioactive materials. These materials
can come from medical sources, nuclear power plants, or laboratories which handle radioactive
materials. Air, soil, and water can be polluted by radioactivity. It can cause damage to animals,
both internally and externally, by eating, drinking, or touching it. It can cause birth defects and
genetic problems. It can cause certain cancers and other deadly diseases.
Noise pollution can be caused by vehicle, aircraft, and industrial noise. It can also be caused by
military or experimental sonar. Noise has health effects on people and animals. In people, it can
cause high blood pressure, heart problems, sleep disturbances, and hearing problems. In animals,
it can cause communication, reproductive, and navigation problems they have difficulty
finding their direction. Sonar has even caused whales to beach themselves because they respond
to the sonar as if it were another whale.
Light pollution can be caused by advertising signs, stadium and city lighting, and other artificial
lighting (like the light caused by night traffic). Artificial lighting has health effects on humans
and animals. In people, it can cause high blood pressure and affect sleeping and waking rhythms
and immunity. It might be a factor in some cancers, such as breast cancer. In animals, it can
affect sleeping and waking rhythms, navigation, and reproduction.
In addition, greenhouse gases have caused a warming effect on the earths climate. The
greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and ozone. They are naturally
occurring gases in the atmosphere, but human activity has increased their concentration in the
atmosphere. For example, the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere have risen due to
the burning of fossil fuels. The effect is a rise in global temperatures. The higher temperatures
cause the melting of glaciers, a rise in the water level of oceans, and the disruption of both land
and marine life, including that of humans. Although carbon dioxide is necessary for plants to
survive, it is also considered to be a kind of pollution because high levels of carbon dioxide have
caused the oceans to become more acidic.
It is not possible for anyone to predict the exact timing and effects of global pollution and global
climate change brought about by pollution. There is general agreement by scientists that the
global climate will continue to change, that the intensity of weather effects will continue to
increase, and that some species of animals will become extinct. There is also general agreement,
or consensus, that humans need to take steps to reduce emissions of waste products and
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, make adaptations to the changes that are occurring, and
figure out ways of reversing the trends of pollution and global warming.

Houses around the World


Do you live in a house? You might be surprised to learn that there are many kinds of houses.
Most people in the United States are used to houses made of wood or bricks. But many people
around the world live in houses made of grass, dirt, or cloth.
In the Great Rift Valley of Eritrea, the nomadic people who are in the Atr tribe build their houses
of straw. Their houses are shaped like domes half spheres. The homes are small and cool. The
people can move their houses when they want to move. Since the people are nomads, they move
often. They take their animals to new places in order to find food.
People who belong to the Uros tribe of Lake Titicaca, Peru build their houses of reeds. Not only
that they also live on islands that are made of reeds! Their boats are made of reeds too! About
2,000 people live on these manmade islands. They started to build their own islands about 500
years ago.
In Andalusia, in the south of Spain, some people live in underground houses. This kind of house
is called a cueba. During the winter, the houses stay warm. During the summer, the houses stay
cool.
In Sanaa, Yemen, some people live in tall houses made of bricks. These bricks are made of clay,
straw, and soil. The bricks last many years maybe as long as 500 years. The modern houses in
Sanaa are made to look like the older, traditional houses, but they are made of concrete instead
of bricks.
In Mindanao in the Philippines, some people still live in tree houses. The tree houses are made of
bamboo with grass roofs. The houses are good lookouts for snakes and wild animals. The air is
cool and the houses stay dry. Now, most people use these tree houses as meeting places.
The fishermen of Sabah, Malaysia build their houses on the water. They use wood from
mangrove trees. This wood stays strong in the water. The houses receive official addresses from
the government.
Fujian, China has many townhouses that are made of hardpacked soil. The dirt becomes as
strong as brick when it is packed hard. One large family group lives in a townhouse. The
townhouses were built around 300 years ago. A group of townhouses is protected by a thick dirt
packed wall.
In the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, some nomadic people live in homes called gels. These homes
are made of cloth. The cloth is filled with animal hair. Two poles in the center of the house hold
the house up. The people move often to find food for their animals. The houses are easy to move
and set up.
Some American Indians live in teepees. These homes are made of cloth or buffalo hide. There
are wooden poles used to hold the teepee up. Now some people use teepees only for special
ceremonies, but people used to live in them all the time.
The traditional houses of Chitos, Greece, are made of stone. They have arched doorways and
indoor courtyards. They have outdoor dining rooms which are decorated
with tile and rock. This means they are ornamented, and made to look more beautiful.
The Dayak people of Indonesia build some of their houses on stilts, several feet above the
ground. The frame of the house is made of iron. The walls are made of tree bark. The floors are
made of wooden planks which are placed side by side. The houses are decorated with pictures of
water snakes and rhinoceros birds. These animals are part of the peoples story of creation, or
how the world was made.
People build their houses to fit the needs of their lives. The houses are different, but one thing is
the same wherever you go. Theres no place like home! (source:???????)

GRAMMAR FOCUS
MODIFIER
Modifier adalah kata, atau frase atau klausa yang menerangkan kata atau kelompok kata yang
lain yang secara gramatikal tidak berhubungan. Frase (phrases) adalah kelompok kata yang tidak
dapat disebut sebagai kalimat karena tidak mempunyai subjek atau predikat (verba).
Suatu frase harus memiliki sebuah head yaitu kata inti yang pembentuk frasa tersebut, contoh:
the small children in the class5 mempunyai head children yang diterangkan dengan adjective the
small disebut dengan istilah pre-modifier atau pre-modification (pre-head), sedangkan kata yang
diletakkan sesudahnya, yaitu in the class 5 disebut dengan post-modifier atau pre-modification
(post-head). Kata-kata yang menjelaskan children disebut dengan modifier.
Modifier bisa berfungsi untuk menerangkan waktu (modifier of time), menerangkan tempat
(modifier of place), atau menerangkan cara dalam melakukan kegiatan (modifier of manner).
Selain itu, modifier dapat juga berupa single adverb (misalnya: yesterday (kemarin), outdoors
(luar gedung), hurriedly (dengan buru-buru) atau adverbial phrase (misalnya: last night (tadi
malam), next year (tahun depan).

Contoh :

John bought a book at the bookstore (John membeli sebuah buku di toko buku)
Yeni was swimming in the swimming pool at 4 pm. yesterday. (Yeni sedang berenang di
kolam renang jam 4 sore kemarin)
My father is driving very fast. (Ayahku sedang mengendarai (mobil) dengan sangat cepat)
The milk is in the refrigerator. (Susunya ada di dalam kulkas)

ABRIDGEMENT
Abridgement adalah penyingkatan atau memotongan yang dilakukan dalam kalimat supaya tidak
terjadi pengulangan atau penggunaan kata-kata yang tidak perlu, sehingga kalimat tersebut akan
sederhana dan juga lebih mudah dipahami.
Dalam kalimat formal, kata-kata yang dihapus biasanya yang ditulis dua kali dalam kalimat
tersebut, yang kemudian kita tulis jadi sekali saja, contoh:
I was to take the east path and John was to take the west path.
maka kalimatnya tersebut dapat dipersingkat menjadi:
I was to take the east path and John, the west.

Pele was the greatest footballer ever, and remains the greatest footballer ever.

setelah abridgment menjadi:

Pele was, and remains, the greatest footballer ever.

He believes that this party can win the next election and will win the next election.
diringkas menjadi:
He believes that this party can, and will, win the next election.

Dalam kalimat informal, penyingkatan/penghilangan kata dilakukan dengan acak asalkan


ide/gagasan utama dalam kalimat tersebut terwakili oleh kata-kata yang ada, contoh:
It seems like a good idea to me. setelah abridgment menjadi:
Seems like a good idea.
Do you fancy a pint? setelah abridgment menjadi:
Fancy a pint?

What would happen if we repeat the experiment using only half the quantity of sulphur?

THE ATOM
The atom is a system. It consists of a nucleus and one or more electrons. The nucleus is the
center of the atom and consists of protons and neutrons. The electrons move around the central
nucleus.There is only one electron in the hydrogen atom. There are seven electrons in the
nitrogen atom and eight in the oxygen atom. An atom of iron contains twenty-six electrons.
The concept of atom first emerged in Ancient Greece. In 400 B.C. the philosopher Democritus
theorized that matter could be divided into smaller and smaller particles until a point was reached
beyond which no further subdivision was possible. These indestructible particles were called
atomos, a Greek word meaning indivisible. We know today that atoms are so small that it would
take more than a million of them to equal the thickness of this sheet of paper. Democritus
theory, however, was not universally accepted in the ancient world, or many believed in
Aristotles theory that matter is composed of four elements: earth, fire air, and water.
During the middle Agesin Europe, the concept of atoms was considered too abstract and was
accordingly rejected. Finally, in 1804 the Englishman John Dalton formulated an atomic theory
based on his experimentation. He claimed that all matter is made of atoms; that all atoms of a
single element have the same shape size, weight, and behavior; and that atoms of each elements
are different from those of any other element. He said that atoms are not created or destroyed but
rather form new combination in chemical reactions.
Dalton thought that atoms were solid, but today atoms are believed to consist mainly of space,
with a dense nucleus at the center. The size of the nucleus inside an atom is comparable to the
size of an ant on a football. Each nucleus contains proton, which have positive electric charge,
and neutrons, which have no charge. The nucleus is surrounded by electrons, which have a
negative electric charge.
The number of protons equal to the number of electrons in each atom, and therefore in the entire
atom has no charge. In 1913, the Danish physicist Niels Bohr proposed a model of the atom in
which the electrons revolved around the nucleus like the planets revolved around the sun. Today
the movement of electrons is thought to be more like bees hovering around a hive. The force of
attraction between the positive atoms in the nucleus and the negative electrons whirling around
keeps the electrons in their paths.
What is it that makes iron hard, oxygen a gas, and mercury a liquid? The properties of an
elements are determined by a number of electrons in an atom, which is called the atomic number.
All atoms of the same element are alike. If youve seen one atom of oxygen, youve seen them
all. Hydrogen, the lightest element, has one proton and one electron. In fact, the hydrogen atom,
the most common atom in the universe, is the basis on which our entire universe was formed.
Hydrogen has eight protons and eight electrons. Uranium, one of heaviest, has 92 protons and 92
electrons. All the world is made of atoms: Everything we see and know of is made of the billion
and billion of these infinitesimal specks of matter. All life exists because atoms are continually
moving, combining, separating, colliding, giving of f energy and absorbing energy.

GRAMMAR FOCUS

Subject - Verb Agreement

Subject - Verb Agreement membahas tentang kesesuaian antara subject dengan verb yang
mengikuti. Dalam Bahasa Inggris, subject diisi oleh noun dan pronoun, sedangkan noun sendiri
dibagi menjadi 2, yaitu: countable dan uncountable noun. Hal yang biasanya dibahas adalah
penggunaan verb yang tepat menurut bentuk subject kalimat yang dapat berupa Singular
(tunggal) atau Plural (jamak).

Agreement 1
Indefinite pronouns seperti anyone, everyone, someone, no one, nobody selalu dianggap singular,
maka dari itu memerlukan singular verbs.
Everyone has done his or her homework.
Somebody has left her purse.
Beberapa indefinite pronouns seperti all, some bisa dianggap singular atau plural
tergantung pada kontek yang diacu. Perlu ketelitian dalam memilih verb untuk pronoun seperti
tersebut di atas.
Some of the beads are missing.
Some of the water is gone.
Sebaliknya, ada satu indefinite pronoun, yaitu "none", yang dapat dianggap singular atau plural;
kita bisa menggunakan baik singular atau plural verbs untuk pronoun ini kecuali ada hal lain
dalam kalimat yang dapat menentukan jumlahnya. (Pada umumnya "none" dianggap mempunyai
arti yang sama dengan "not any" dan akan lebih tepat menngunakan plural verb, seperti pada
"None of the engines are working," akan tetapi apabila ada hal yang membuat kita menganggap
"none" berarti "not one", kita gunakan singular verb, seperti pada "None of the food is fresh.")
None of you claims responsibility for this incident?
None of you claim responsibility for this incident?
None of the students have done their homework.
Agreement 2
Beberapa indefinite pronouns berpotensi membingungkan. Everyone and everybody terdengar
atau terasa seperti lebih dari satu orang, oleh karenanya para pembelajar biasanya terjebak
menggunakan plural verbs. Meskipun demikian, everyone dan everybody selalu singular. Each
biasanya diikuti oleh prepositional phrase yang diakhiri dengan plural word (Each of the cars),
hal seperti ini membingungkan dalam pemilihan verb yang akan digunakan. Everyone/body, juga
selalu dianggap singular dan memerlukan singular verb.
Everyone has finished his or her homework.
Kita bisa mengucapkan, "Everybody is here." hal ini berarti kata tersebut singular dan tidak ada
yang akan mengubahnya.
Each of the students is responsible for doing his or her work in the library.
Subyek dalam kalimat tersebut adalah each, sedangkan each selalu dianggap singular.

Agreement 3
Frase seperti together with, as well as, dan along with tidak sama dengan and. Frase yang
didahului dengan as well as or along with memodifikasi kata di depannya, akan tetapi kata
tersebut tidak menggabungkan subyek-subyeknya (seperti fungsi pada kata and).
The mayor as well as his brothers is going to prison.
The mayor and his brothers are going to jail.

Agreement 4
Pronouns neither and either selalu dianggap singular dan memerlukan singular verbs meskipun
kelihatannya mengacu pada dua hal.
Neither of the two traffic lights is working.
Which shirt do you want for Christmas? Either is fine with me.
Dalam penulisan informal, neither and either kadang memerlukan plural verb ketika pronoun-
pronoun tersebut diikuti oleh prepositional phrase yang diawali dengan of. Oleh sebab itu, bentuk
kalimat interrogative berikut ini benar.
"Have either of you two clowns read the assignment?"
"Are either of you taking this seriously?"
Burchfield menyebut fenomena bahasa ini sebagai "a clash between notional and actual
agreement."*

Agreement 5
Kata sambung or tidak menggabungkan subyek yang mendahului dan mengikutinya (seperti
fungsi pada kata and) ketika nor atau or digunakan, subyek yang lebih dekat pada verb yang
digunakan untuk menentukan single atau plural nya.
Either my father or my brothers are going to sell the house.
Neither my brothers nor my father is going to sell the house.
Are either my brothers or my father responsible?
Is either my father or my brothers responsible?

Agreement 6
Kata there dan here tidak bisa berfungsi sebagai subyek.
There are two reasons [plural subject] for this.
There is no reason for this.
Here are two apples.
Dengan susunan kalimat seperti yang dapat kita lihat pada contoh di atas (disebut expletive
constructions), subyek muncul setelah verb yang digunakan untuk menentukan single atau plural
nya verb.

Agreement 7
Verbs dalam present tense subyek orang ketiga tunggal (he, she, it kata lain yang bisa digantkan
oleh pronoun tersebut) berakhiran -s.
He loves and she loves and they love_ and . . . .

Agreement 8
Terkadang modifiers berada di antara subject dan verb, akan tetapi modifiers ini tidak
mempengaruhi subject - verb agreement. Perhatikan contoh di bawah ini:
The mayor, who has been convicted along with his four brothers on four counts of
various crimes but who also seems, like a cat, to have several political lives, is finally
going to jail.

Agreement 9
Terkadang noun mempunyai bentuk yang aneh dan dapat membuat kita bingung sehingga
berpikir bahwa bentuknya adalah singular. Kata-kata seperti glasses, pants, pliers, and scissors
dianggap sebagai bentuk plural (jamak) kecuali ketika digunakan dengan menggunakan frasa
pair of (dimana kata pair dianggap sebagai subjek).
My glasses were on the bed.
My pants were torn.
A pair of plaid trousers is in the closet.

Agreement 10
Beberapa kata berakhiran -s dan tampak seperti plural, padahal sebenarnya mempunyai bentuk
singular seperti pada contoh di bawah ini:
The news from the front is bad.
Measles is a dangerous disease for pregnant women.
Sebaliknya, beberapa kata berakhiran -s mengacu pada benda tunggal, akan tetapi dianggap
plural.
My assets were wiped out in the depression.
The average worker's earnings have gone up dramatically.
Our thanks go to the workers who supported the union.
Nama klub / tim olahraga yang tidak berakhiran dengan -s membutuhkan plural verb:
The Miami Heat have been looking ,
The Connecticut Sun are hoping that new talent .

Agreement 11
Fractional expressions seperti half of, a part of, a percentage of, a majority of terkadang singular
dan plural, tergantung pada artinya. Penjumlahan dan hasil dari proses matematika dianggap
singular. Ungkapan "more than one" (oddly enough) bisa membutuhkan singular verb:
More than one student has tried this
A large percentage of the older population is voting against her.
Two-fifths of the troops were lost in the battle.
Two-fifths of the vineyard was destroyed by fire.
Forty percent of the students are in favour of changing the policy.
Forty percent of the student body is in favour of changing the policy.
Two and two is four.

Agreement 12
Apabila kalimat anda menggabungkan subyek positif dan negatif, dan salah satu subyek singular
dan yang satunya plural, verb harus mengacu pada subyek yang positif.
The department members but not the chair have decided not to teach on Valentine's Day.
It is not the faculty members but the president who decides this issue.
It was the speaker, not his ideas, that has provoked the students to riot.

SOUND
Sound waves cannot travel through empty space because they need a solid, liquid or gas to pass
through. Astronauts on the moon cannot talk to each other like they do on Earth as there is no air
for sound to pass through, so they have radios to speak to each other.
Sound waves can be produced in several different ways by hitting; blowing, plucking or rubbing,
for example a drummer hits the skin of a drum with his drumstick. When you rub your hand a
long the tablet it makes a noise. They way that a wind instrument makes a noise is by blowing air
through a pipe so that the air inside the instrument has to vibrate in a number of different ways.
The strings of a guitar are plucked.
The human voice is a wind instrument. Two thin pieces of skin, the vocal chords, are at the back
of the throat. Breathing out between these stretched membranes makes them vibrate and produce
sound waves. Different sounds can be made by using muscles to alter the tightness of the vocal
cords.
Any movement sets up vibrations that cause changes of pressure in the surrounding air.
Everything that vibrates at a Frequency of between about 50-20000 vibration per second makes
sound waves which humans can hear. A shrill, high note is produced by rapid vibration, a deep,
low one called its pitch, and the pitch of a note depends on the number of times the sound
producer vibrates in one second. The human ear cannot detect very low or very high frequency
sounds. It is sensitive to frequencies of from about 20-20,000 hertz but the range varies from the
person to person. One hertz is equal to one vibration per second.
The loudness of a sound is the effect it has on the human ear. It depends on the size of the
vibrations. The larger the vibration will be the louder the sound. The amount of energy needed to
produce the vibrations controls the intensity of the sound.

NOUN PHRASE
Noun Phrase adalah sebuah frasa yang membentuk kata benda (noun). Modifiers yang
melengkapinya dapat berupa kata kerja adjectives, a participial phrase, an infinitive phrase, a
modifying clause, and prepositional phrases.

Noun phrase yang diterangkan dengan adjectives:


The tall and brilliant professor.

Noun phrase yang diterangkan dengan a participial phrase:


The road following the edge of the frozen lake.

VERB PHRASE
Verb Phrase atau frasa verba adalah frasa yang tersusun dari verba utama ditambahi dengan
auxiliaries, adverbs, adverb phrases (for clauses), prepositional phrases, atau object. Di dalam
sebuah kalimat, frasa verba berfungsi sebagai predikat.
Contoh:

Adam made my coach very proud.
Dalam frasa verba, verb selalu menjadi head, yang dapat disertai pre-modifiers dan/atau post
modifier. Jika terdapat pre-modifiers, bias berupa kata negative (not/never) atau adverb phrase.

Never needs money.
He deliberately broke the window.
Kebanyakan head verba harus diikuti oleh post-modifiers.

READING COMPREHENSION

POWER OF THE SUN


The sun radiates its energy in all directions. The minute fraction of the suns energy received by
the earth has provided the basis of all life both the incoming energy used to keep warm and
sustain life and the retained fossil energy in the form of coal, petroleum, and others types of fuel.
Evolving mankind has become increasingly dependent on using our stored energy reserves to
provide the light and heat which in the past were provided exclusively by the sun and renewable
energy sources. We have extended the hours of work and play and the level of thermal comfort,
independent of geography and climate. However, we have now learnt that the supply of non-
renewable energy is not infinite. We have also become aware of the cost in pollution and other
negative side effects that can result from the conversation of excessive amount of energy. We
must therefore examine the amount of free incoming solar energy we can use to meet our
current needs for light and heat and to allow us to extend the use of stored energy for future
generations.
At the edge of the earths atmosphere, the level of solar illumination is approximately 14.000
foot-candles. Even after passing through the atmosphere of clear sky to sea level, the level can
exceed 10.000 foot-candles of electric lighting. As a comparison, brightly-lit office might have
an average of 30-100 foot-candles of electrics lighting. Passing through the atmosphere of clear
sky to sea level, the level can exceed 10.000 foot-candles of electric lighting. As a comparison,
brightly-lit office might have an average of 30-100 foot-candles of electrics lighting.
The instantaneous energy of one square foot of sunlight (on a horizontal surface at equinox noon,
see level, 40 degrees north latitude) is equivalent to the visible light of 3.340 watt florescent
lamps or 6100 watt incandescent lamps. As heat, this solar energy is equivalent to 88 watts from
an electric heater. Even if used inefficiently, there is obviously an abundant amount of radiant
energy available from the sun.
Of course, the intensity of light normal to any particular planar surface is dependent on its
angular relationship to the direction of the sunlight. When the sun is low the sunlight is received
more light than a vertical of the same area. Thus, while the general illumination in Boston on a
clear day differs little from that in Saudi Arabia, because the sun in Boston is lower at winter
noon, a north wall in Saudi Arabia(ada teks yg kurang). Conversely, horizontal concrete
pavement at the equivalent solar time will be brighter in Saudi Arabia than in Boston.

Answer the following questions briefly
1. Where does the sun radiate its energy?
2. Evolving mankind has become increasingly dependent on using our stored energy... What
does the underlined word refer to?
3. What do we have to be aware of?
4. Why do we have to examine the amount of free incoming solar energy?
5. Who will use the light and heat of stored energy?
6. When can the level of solar illumination exceed ten thousand candles of electric lighting?

GRAMMAR FOCUS
ADJECTIVE PHRASE
Adjective phrase adalah kelompok kata yang terdiri dari adjective (sebagai head) dan modifier,
determiner, dan/atau qualifier/intensifier. Sama seperti adjective, adjective phrase berfungsi
menerangkan noun. Posisinya mungkin sebelum/setelah noun (sebagai attributive untuk
membentuk noun phrase) atau setelah linking verb (sebagai predicative).
Contoh Adjective:
attributive I like dark chocolate.

predicative Tommy is diligent.

Contoh Adjective Phrase:

attributive I like very dark chocolate.

predicative Tommy is extremely diligent.

Catatan:
Very dark merupakan adjective phrase, sedangkan very dark chocolate merupakan noun
phrase. Untuk membedakannya, kita perlu fokus pada head-nya. Head pada adjective phrase
ialah dark, sedangkan pada noun phrase di atas adalah chocolate.

Sekilas Modifier, Determiner, dan Intensifier


Dalam membentuk adjective phrase, adjective mungkin dikombinasikan dengan modifier,
determiner, dan/atau intensifier.

Modifier
Modifier merupakan kata, phrase, atau clause yang berfungsi sebagai adjective atau adverb.
Modifier dapat ditempatkan di depan adjective (premodifier) atau setelah adjective (post
modifier). Dalam kasus adjective phrase, umumnya premodifier yang digunakan berupa simple
adjective atau adverb (hanya terdiri dari satu kata), sedangkan post modifier dapat berupa
infinitive atau prepositional phrase.
Contoh (adjective phrase = italic; modifier = underline):
young married couples, certain to happen, afraid of the dark, angry with you

Determiner
Determiner yang umum digunakan untuk menerangkan adjective adalah article, baik definite
(the) maupun indefinite articles (a, an); quantifier (many, few, little, some, etc);
distributive (all, every, both, etc), demonstrative adjective (this, that, these, those); dan/atau
possessive adjective (my, your, his, her, etc).
Contoh (adjective phrase = italic; determiner = underline):
the beautiful house, many young men, all poor countries, this delicious cake, our sweet
moments.

Intensifier
Intensifier merupakan adverb yang dapat berfungsi menekankan (emphasize), menguatkan
(amplify), atau merendahkan (downtone) adjective.
Contoh Adjective Phrase (intensifier = underline):
partially complete, rather unfaithful, very smart
Modifier, determiner, dan intensifier mungkin dapat digunakan secara bersama-sama.
Urutan penggunaannya, dapat dilihat di Noun Phrase.

Prepositional Phrase sebagai Adjective Phrase


Jika adjective phrase diterjemahkan dengan pengertian yang lebih luas, yaitu semua phrase yang
menerangkan noun, prepositional phrase yang diletakkan setelah noun dapat menjadi salah
satunya.
Contoh Adjective Phrase:
She is a student from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. (menerangkan noun
student)
The woman with a leather handbag is looking at you. (menerangkan noun woman)
Berikut beberapa adjective phrase dalam kalimat.
No Contoh Adjective Phrase dalam Kalimat
The weather in the country is very cold.
1
(Cuaca di negara tersebut sangat dingin.)
I still remember our sweet moments.
2
(Saya masih mengingat momen-momen manis kita.)
You are the most tricky man that I have ever met.
3
(Kamu pria tercerdik yang saya pernah temui.)
The students are aware of Indonesias economic condition.
4
(Para siswa sadar akan kondisi ekonomi Indonesia.)
Are Monosodium Glutamate dangerous to our health?
5
(Apakah Monosodium Glutamate berbahaya untuk kesehatan kita?)

ADVERBIAL PHRASE
Adverb phrase adalah kelompok kata yang terdiri dari adverb dengan qualifier (too, very, so,
enough, etc) atau kelompok kata seperti: prepositional phrase atau infinitive phrase yang
dapat berfungsi seperti adverb.
Contoh:
Single adverb: yesterday, quickly, there
Adverb phrase: to go to school, very quickly, at home
Seperti halnya adverb (kata keterangan), suatu adverb phrase juga dapat menerangkan verb,
adjective, maupun kata keterangan lain serta juga dapat menempati berbagai posisi di dalam
suatu kalimat. Oleh karena itu, mungkin dapat sedikit membingungkan untuk mendeteksi suatu
adverb phrase dibandingkan dengan bentuk tunggalnya di dalam suatu kalimat.

Ada 5 macam adverb yang utama yaitu: adverbs of time (waktu), manner (cara), place (tempat),
frequency (frekuensi), dan purpose (tujuan). Seperti halnya adverb, Adverb phrase dapat
menempati posisi-posisi tersebut.
PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE
Prepositional phrase dapat menggantikan lima macam adverb di atas. Beberapa contoh adverb
phrase yang merupakan prepositional phrase adalah sebagai berikut.
Adverb Prepositional Phrase Contoh Kalimat
They couldnt do anything during the storm.
since yesterday, during the
time (Mereka tidak dapat melakukan apapun selama
storm, before noon
badai.)
The customer always pays the bill with his
debit card.
manner with his debit card, by bus
(Pelanggan tersebut selalu membayar tagihan
dengan kartu debitnya.)
at home, in the classroom, to Im on a flight to Bandung.
place
Bandung (Saya sedang dalam penerbangan ke Bandung.)
Old people may need to see a doctor every
year.
frequency every year
(Orang-orang tua mungkin perlu mengunjungi
dokter setiap tahun.)
He bought this tiramisu cake for you.
purpose for you
(Dia membeli kue tiramisu ini untukmu.)

INFINITIVE PHRASE
Kebanyakan infinitive phrase berperan sebagai adverbs of purpose.

Infinitive phrase Contoh Kalimat


He does physical exercises regularly to gain his muscle mass.
to gain his muscle
(Dia melakukan latihan-latihan fisik secara teratur untuk meningkatkan
mass
massa ototnya.)
To get the accesss, you must register first.
to get the access
(Untuk mendapat akses, kamu harus mendaftar dulu.)

PARTICIPLE PHRASE
Participle phrase ialah frasa yang terdiri dari participle beserta complement atau modifier-nya.
Contoh :
Following the instructions carefully, the trainees complitid the project successfully.
The instructions sebagai objek dan carefully sebagai adverb yang menerangkan following
(participle).

Bentuk- bentuk participle phrase


Participle bersama objek
Contoh:
Finding the problems resolved, he promised us a reward happily.
The problem adalah objek dari finding
Participle being bersama complement
Contoh :
Being lazy, he does not earn enough to support his family.
Lazy (adjective) sebagai complement dari being.

ELECTRIC FIELD

Everything seems to be full of electricity when the weather is cold and dry. Even walking across
a rug will give your body a charge of electricity. If you then touch a metal object or another
person, you may see an electric spark and feel a small electric shock. Combing your hair makes
it crackle, and stroking a cat in the dark will produce showers of sparks.
On cold, dry days you can do many electrical experiments without any magnets, wires, or
batteries. A comb that has been rubbed with a cloth will attract a small stream of water running
from a faucet. A sheet of paper rubbed against your clothes will push each other a part but will
be attracted to your body.
Place bits of paper, popcorn, or puffed cereals underneath a sheet of glass resting on two books.
Rub the glass with a cloth to give it charge of electricity. The papers and other objects are
attracted by the glass because they have no electrical charge first. Within a short time they drop
off because some electrons jump from the paper to the glass. Then paper bits are repelled by the
glass because both have the same kind of electric charge.
Hold a charged comb bits of paper and see if you obtain the same result. On a most day, some of
these experiments may not work because the electric charges are drained off by water particles in
the.
Since electrically charged objects attract or reply each other, you might guess that they are
magnetized. We can be made quickly. Push a pin through the middle of a soda straw so becomes
charged with positive electricity and the other with negative electricity. Surrounding each object
there is an invisible something called an electric fields. Electric field is not the same as a
magnetic field.
Our understanding of electric fields is still incomplete, and scientists are not quite sure why they
behave as they do. For the remainder of our study of electricity, the kind that travels through

Simple Sentence
Simple sentence adalah tipe kalimat yang paling sederhana, yaitu hanya terdiri dari satu
independent clause. Tipe kalimat ini bukan berarti simple (sederhana) untuk dipahami karena
simple sentence sendiri merujuk pada pola kalimat bukan the complexity of thought
(kompleksitas pemikiran). Independent clause dalam simplesentence terdiri dari satu subject,
verb, dan element(s) lain untuk membentuk kalimat yang memiliki arti secara utuh/lengkap.
Subject adalah seseorang/sesuatu berupa noun atau pronoun, yang melakukan aksi. Aksi yang
dilakukan (verb) dapat berupa action (contoh: eat, play, read) atau linking verb.
Simple sentence umumnya berupa kalimat yang pendek, namun dapat pula panjang.
Kalimat dapat menjadi lebih panjang ketika elemen-elemen kalimat (subject, verb, object, etc)
digunakan secara majemuk (compound). Diantara elemen majemuk tersebut (subject compound,
verb compound, etc) tidak dipisahkan oleh koma. Selain itu, prepositional phrase juga dapat
berperan untuk memperpanjang suatu simple sentence.

Contoh Simple Sentence:


Atiek and I got the appreciation for our recent research. (compound subject)
The babies laughed and cried simultaneously. (compound verb)
Ana and Yuni read and wrote the instruction. (compound subject, compound verb)
Compound Sentence
Compound sentence adalah jnis kalimat yang terdiri dari dua atau lebih independent clause atau
simple sentence. Pada compound sentence, terdapat dua independent clause yang dihubungkan
dengan coordinate conjunction, conjunctive adverb, atau semicolon (titik koma) saja. Walaupun
dihubungkan oleh conjunction atau semicolon, masing-masing independent clause tersebut
sesungguhnya dapat berdiri sendiri.

Coordinate conjunction yang dapat digunakan yaitu: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so (FANBOYS).
Tanda baca koma digunakan tepat sebelum kata hubung ini.
Contoh: He didnt come last night, for he fell asleep.
Vina and Amel wake up at 5:00 am, and they go to school at 6:30 am.
Please reconsider, so you will not regret one day.

Conjunctive adverb atau adverbial conjunction merupakan kata yang berfungsi baik sebagai
adverb maupun conjunction. Tanda baca semicolon (titik koma) dan koma biasa digunakan

READING COMPREHENSION

SOLID, LIQUIDS, GASES


Matter in physics means something that takes up space. Everything that is made of any material
is made of some of the elements. We could also say is better this way: All matter is made of
elements.
Matter may be in three different forms.
Matter may be a solid (a brick)
Matter may be a liquid (gasoline)
Matter may be a gas (air)
Some kinds of matter can easily be changed from a solid to a liquid and then to a gas. Water is a
liquid. Ice is a solid. Steam is a gas.

Ice is just water in the form of a solid. Steam is just water in the form of a gas. Air is a gas. But if
air is made cold enough it becomes a liquid. Iron is a solid. But if iron is made hot enough it
becomes a liquid. Here is a fact about solids, liquids, and gases that you already know, but
perhaps youve never thought about it in this way. A solid generally keeps its own size and
shape. A liquid keeps its own size but changes its shape to fit whatever holds it. A gas changes
not only its shape but its size to fit whatever holds it.

For instance, put a brick in a teapot. The brick remains the same size and shape. It is a solid. Put
some water in the teapot. The water doesnt take up any more space than it did before it was in
the teapot. The size of the water stays the same. But the water takes the shape of the bottom and
sides of the teapot. Water is a liquid.

Put some steam in the teapot (by boiling the water). The steam fills all the empty space in the
teapot. Steam not only takes the shape of the inside of the teapot but it changes its size so as to
fill the whole teapot. Steam is gas.

You can see from ice and water and steam that heat must have something to do with solids,
liquids, and gases. That brings us back to molecules. Molecules in a material arent jammed
solidly together. Molecules have spaces between them. The molecules move about in these
spaces. The more the molecules are heated the faster they move. In a solid molecules have less
freedom to move than in a liquid. In a gas the molecules have so much spaces to move in that
they go shooting off in every direction.
Perhaps you can get an idea of a solid by thinking of a haystack. There are plenty of spaces
between the pieces of hay but the pieces of hay havent much freedom to move about. A liquid
may be more like a bag of marbles or a quart of cranberries. The marbles or the cranberries slide
over and around each other when you pour them out. You cannot pour the pieces of hay out of a
haystack. The molecules in a liquid may be like the cranberries in the quart box.
A gas is more like a lot of tennis balls flying and bouncing around in a big room. They go
in every direction and if you open the window some of the balls apt to fly out. The molecules in
a gas are something like the tennis balls in a room. (Source:???????)

READING COMPREHENSION

TEMPERATURE
When anything is hot, we say that it has a high temperature, and when it is cold, we say that it
has a low temperature. We measure temperature in degrees, with a fine tool called thermometer.
The figures are fixed by the temperature of melting ice and the temperature of boiling water.
These are known as the melting point of ice and the boiling point of water.
There are two important systems: degrees Fahrenheit (0F) and degrees Centigrade (0C). We say
that ice melts at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (320F) or at 0 degrees Centigrade (00C). We say that
water boils at 212 degrees Fahren-heit (2120F) or at 100 degrees Centigrade (1000C). In sci ence
we use the Centigrade system of measuring temperature.
A mercury thermometer is made of a glass tube with a bulb at one end. The bulb and lower part
of the tube have merury inside.
In order to fix the figures on a thermometer, we place the bulb in melting ice and make a mark at
the level of the mercury, and call this point 0. Then we place the bulb in steam and the mercury
goes up the tube, because it expands when it gets warm. We make another mark at the new level
of the mercury and call this point 100. We divide the space between the two makes into 100
divisions, which are all the same size, for a Centigrade thermometer. (SOURCE:???????)
