ABOUT TOEFL 1
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) merupakan tes standar bahasa Inggris sebagai
bahasa asing untuk menguji kemampuan seseorang dalam hal penguasaan bahasa Inggris.
Tes TOEFL ini merupakan produk dari ETS (Educational Testing Service). Adapun kemampuan
yang diujikan dalam tes model ini diantaranya meliputi kemampuan dalam memahami teks
lisan (Listening Comprehension), kemampuan memahami struktur dan ungkapan model tulis
(Structure and Written Expression) yang berkaitan dengan tata bahasa Inggris, kemampuan
dalam memahami bacaan (Reading Comprehension) dan kemampuan menulis (Writing).
Khusus tes writing, jenis tes ini jarang diujikan di Indonesia.

TOEFL pertama kali diselenggarakan pada tahun 1963. Hingga saat ini, TOEFL diselenggarakan
di 165 negara dan puluhan juta orang telah mengikuti tes tersebut. TOEFL mempunyai kedudukan
yang sangat penting karena semua perguruan tinggi di luar negeri, terutama negara-negara
berbahasa Inggris, menjadikan TOEFL sebagai salah satu syarat penerimaan mahasiswa.

3 Bentuk Tes TOEFL


Pada awalnya, yaitu tahun 1960-an, tes TOEFL diselenggarakan dengan media kertas dan
pensil, sehingga dinamakan PBT atau Paper-Based Testing. PBT memiliki rentang nilai berkisar
310 – 677 dengan total soal 150, dikerjakan dalam waktu 150 menit. Bentuknya adalah Listening
Comprehension (50 soal), kemudian Structure&Written Expression (40 soal), dan Reading
Comprehension (50 soal). Soal-soal tersebut dibuat dalam bentuk pilihan ganda.

Kemudian, pada tahun 1990-an berkembang model CBT atau Computer-Based Testing. TOEFL
CBT adalah model TOEFL yang memerlukan komputer sebagai alat bantu dalam. Tes ini memiliki
rentang nilai berkisar antara 0-300 dan waktu pengerjaan selama 240 menit. Model dan standar
soal dalam Computer-Based Testing tidaklah jauh erbeda dengan Paper-Based Testing. Dalam
tes ini juga terdapat tiga bagian tes, yaitu (section): Section 1 – Listening Comprehension,
Section 2 – Structure, dan Section 3 – Reading. Perbedaannya dengan PBT adalah dalam CBT
terdapat soal esai yang menguji kemampuan mengarang berbahasa Inggris dan menjodohkan
kata tertentu yang memiliki kaitan dengan ide pokok suatu bacaan serta tersedianya video dalam
Listening Comprehension sehingga Anda dapat lebih memahami arah pembicaraan dan mudah
menjawab pertanyaan.

7
Terakhir, pada akhir tahun 2005, dikembangkan model iBT atau internet-Based Testing dengan
rentang nilai berkisar 0-120. Tes ini dikembangakan sejalan dengan perkembangan internet
yang begitu pesat. TOEFL iBT terdiri dari 36 soal reading, 34 soal listening, 6 soal speaking, 2
soal writing dan memiliki durasi pengerjaan selama 190 menit.

TOEFL ada dua macam, yakni International TOEFL dan Institutional TOEFL. International TOEFL
diselenggarakan oleh Kantor TOEFL di Amerika, dengan menunjuk badan-badan khusus yang
tersebar di seluruh dunia. Saat ini, soal-soal International TOEFL yang diselenggarakan di ibu
kota negara sudah menggunakan sistem komputer, namun di kota-kota lain masih menggunakan
sistem kertas dan pensil.

Sedangkan Institutional TOEFL diselenggarakan oleh perguruan tinggi atau lembaga bahasa
Inggris terkemuka. Model soal yuang diujikan mengacu soal-soal dari International TOEFL.
Institutional TOEFL juga masih menggunakan sistem kertas dan pensil. Walaupun soal-soalnya
sama, namun hasil tes Institutional TOEFL tidak diakui secara internasional.

Sebaiknya sebelum memutuskan mengikuti International TOEFL, pastikan dulu pada pihak
universitas atau pemberi beasiswa apakah mereka menerima Institutional TOEFL. Jika ternyata
mereka menerima Institutional TOEFL, lebih baik Anda mengambil Institutional TOEFL karena
biayanya jauh lebih murah, yaitu kisaran hanya 25 dollar Amerika. Sedangkan biaya mengikuti
tes International TOEFL sebesar 130 dollar Amerika.

Berapa nilai TOEFL yang Anda perlukan?


Pada prinsipnya, jumlah skor TOEFL yang dibutuhkan sangat tergantung pada universitas,
institut, lembaga, atau perusahaan yang akan menerimanya sebagai pengguna. Ini juga
tergantung apa tujuan Anda mengikuti tes TOEFL. Untuk program pascasarjana, beberapa
universitas dan institut di dalam negeri mematok skor antara 400, 425, 450, atau 500 untuk dapat
lolos seleksi Program S2 dan 500, 550 atau bahkan 600 untuk lolos Program S3. Atau mungkin
untuk keperluan tes CPNS. Rata-rata untuk syarat administrasi, disyaratkan Anda harus memiliki
skor minimal 425. Sementara untuk promosi atau kenaikan jabatan biasanya skor minimal yang
dipersyaratkan 450-550. Untuk keperluan mengikuti sidang skripsi, skor minimal yang diperlukan
tergantung pada kebijakan dan kebutuhan institusi atau universitas yang bersangkutan. Misal,
di sebuah universitas swasta di Yogyakarta mematok nilai minimal 425 bagi mahasiswa non-
jurusan Bahasa Inggris agar ia dapat mengikuti sidang skripsi S1. Sedangkan untuk jurusan
Bahasa dan Sastra Inggris, universitas tersebut mematok nilai minimal 475.

Adapun, untuk lolos studi ke luar negeri, skor TOEFL yang dipersyaratkan minimal 500, 550
atau bahkan 600. Skor yang dipersyaratkan berbeda-beda antara universitas satu dengan yang
lain. Untuk memperoleh beasiswa kuliah di Australia pada tahun 2008/2009 harus memiliki nilai
TOEFL minimal 500.

Trik Menghadapi Tes TOEFL
Apa yang harus Anda lakukan dalam menghadapi tes TOEFL? Ada beberapa hal yang harus
Anda ketahui dalam menghadapi tes TOEFL, yakni:

 Jauh hari sebelum Anda menjalani tes, jika tidak mengikuti program TOEFL Preparation
di satu tempat kursus, sebaiknya Anda perdalam lagi secara autodidak kemampuan Anda
dalam Grammar, Vocabulary dan bentuk-bentuk Functional Expression (suggestion, surprise,
agreement, uncertainty, etc.). Selain itu, latihlah kemampuan telinga Anda untuk mendengar.
Sering-seringlah mendengar percakapan dalam Bahasa Inggris agar telinga menjadi terbiasa
dan otak pun terlatih untuk Think In English. Terkadang sulit untuk menyimpulkan percakapan
bahasa Inggris dalam sekali dengar, terlebih jikalau memuat percakapan yang panjang.

 Tes TOEFL bisa dikatakan sukar. Di sana terdapat banyak soal yang mengecoh. Selain itu,
waktu yang tersedia sangat pendek. Dalam waktu 130 menit harus mengerjakan 140 soal
dan mengerjakan esai 300 kata dalam waktu 30 menit. Untuk ujian listening, peserta ujian
harus mengerahkan konsentrasi karena percakapannya sangat cepat, sering tidak jelas, dan
hanya diputar satu kali. Pemahaman Anda tentang tata bahasa Inggris akan sangat berperan.
Hati-hati dengan tipe soal penjebak. Penulis tes TOEFL sering kali menggunakan pengecoh
(distractor) yang membuat jawaban salah menjadi kelihatan benar. Karena itu, Anda harus
berusaha memahami soal beserta pilihan jawabannya dengan cermat. Jangan sampai Anda
terjebak oleh pengecoh (distractor) dalam soal.

 Secara umum, biasanya tes TOEFL memuat materi-materi yang berkaitan dengan hal-hal
ilmiah, pendidikan, ilmu pengetahuan dan hal-hal nyata yang berkaitan dengan kehidupan
sehari-hari. Sehingga bagi Anda yang memiliki pengalaman atau pengetahuan mengenai
kebiasaan dan gaya hidup native speakers sehari-hari sedikit banyak akan diuntungkan.

 Topik pembicaraan dalam soal TOEFL biasanya didasarkan pada sejarah Amerika Serikat
atau negara lain tempat Bahasa Inggris digunakan dan lingkungan sosialnya. Karena itu,
orang yang telah memahami tentang sejarah Amerika dan lingkungan di sana akan lebih
diuntungkan.

 Soal-soal TOEFL tidak akan menggunakan permasalahan-permasalahan kontroversial yang


berkaitan dengan soal agama, kematian, perbedaan politik, perselisihan sejarah, kejahatan
dan topik-topik yang berhubungan dengan masalah etnis.

 Perhatikan baik-baik prosedur pelaksanaan tes. Pastikan Anda cukup memahami apa yang
harus dilakukan di setiap bagian (section), seberapa panjang dan spesifik tipe-tipe pertanyaan
yang disajikan. Ada banyak sumber tersedia yang dapat membantu Anda berlatih.

 Pahami perintahnya dengan baik. Dari tahun ke tahun, perintah yang ada dalam soal-soal
TOEFL selalu sama. Jadi hal ini bisa dipelajari sebelum mengikuti tes. Dengan begitu, tidak
perlu membuang waktu untuk membaca perintah soal.

9
 Belajarlah secara berpasangan atau tim sehingga dimungkinkan Anda mendapat ide-ide
segar yang belum Anda ketahui dari mereka.

 Carilah bantuan atau arahan dari para guru, teman, dan native speakers.

 Jangan menyia-nyiakan kesempatan. Jika Anda tidak mengetahui dimana tes TOEFL
diselenggarakan, berusahalah untuk mencari tahu sebelum tes berlangsung.

 Pastikan semua yang Anda butuhkan dalam tes sudah Anda persiapkan dan dibawa di
pagi harinya, misalnya formulir pendaftaran, kartu identitas, nomor tes, pena, pensil, dan
penghapus. Cek artikel-artikel apa saja yang Anda perlukan berkaitan dengan tes. Aktifkan
alarm Anda pada malam sebelum tes.

 TOEFL test sangat menguras pikiran dan energi. Oleh karena itu, kita harus menghemat
energi kita dan berusaha serileks mungkin ketika mengerjakan soal-soal tes walaupun
waktunya sangat sempit. Pastikan Anda memiliki cukup waktu untuk tidur, sarapan dan
minum. Makan sarapan yang baik. Jangan makan makanan yang akan mengganggu aktifitas
pagi itu, misalnya terlalu pedas atau asam. Jika diperlukan, bawalah beberapa makanan
ringan atau minuman yang dapat Anda santap bila diberikan waktu istirahat. Namun jangan
membawa makanan dan minuman tersebut dalam ruang tes apalagi menyantapnya. Pakailah
jam tangan agar Anda dapat mengatur waktu pengerjaan tes.

 Datanglah di tempat tes sebelum waktu tes dimulai, pastikan masih ada waktu untuk
melakukan regristasi ulang dan menunjukkan identitas diri sebelum memasuki ruang tes.
Jangan sampai terlambat tiba di tempat tes.

 Berusahalah untuk tetap fokus. Tujuannya adalah agar Anda dapat memberikan yang terbaik
dan mencapai nilai atau level maksimum.

 Pastikan ruang tes harus nyaman, pencahayaannya serta suhu ruangan harus sesuai. Sebab
jika Anda merasa tidak nyaman, itu dapat mengganggu dalam mengerjakan tes. Bila masih
ada waktu, Anda dapat meminta seseorang untuk bertukar tempat duduk dengan Anda.

 Pastikan Anda memilih satu jawaban paling tepat dengan jalan menghitamkan pilihan jawaban
yang tersedia di lembar jawab, sampai benar-benar hitam.

 Jika jawaban salah dan Anda ingin menggantinya, pastikan Anda telah menghapus jawaban
sebelumnya dengan bersih.

 Jawablah semua soal, jangan sampai ada satu nomor pun yang Anda biarkan kosong (tidak
diisi), karena TIDAK ADA pengurangan skor jika jawaban salah.

 Pilihlah pertanyaan yang mudah dulu. Jangan buang waktu untuk mengerjakan soal yang
sulit. Biasanya, soal-soal TOEFL bertingkat, dari mudah ke sulit. Namun untuk jawabannya,
tidak ada model yang pasti.Jangan cemas dan kerjakan soal dengan tenang atau santai,
tetapi tetap konsentrasi.

 Ketika mengerjakan bagian soal Structure dan Written Expression, kita akan sering

10
menemukan soal dimana kita harus mencari “kata” yang tidak tepat atau salah. Beberapa
kata digaris-bawahi, dan akan membuat kita bingung untuk menentukan dimana kesalahan
yang terjadi. Ada pula soal pilihan ganda, dimana kita diminta untuk mengisi area yang
kosong pada soal tersebut. Salah satu kunci ampuh untuk mengatasinya adalah kita hanya
cukup mengenali apakah kalimat soal tersebut sudah memiliki Subject dan Verb! Sebagai
contoh, dalam soal kita temukan satu kalimat belum memiliki Subject, maka pada pilihan
ganda, kita tinggal mencari jawaban yang mengandung Verb. Begitu juga sebaliknya. Dan
jika kalimatnya sudah lengkap, maka yang harus kita cari hanyalah pelengkap dari Subject
atau Verb itu sendiri. Metode ini bisa diterapkan pada soal di mana ada beberapa kata yang
digaris-bawahi untuk menjebak kita. Yang perlu diperhatikan hanya kata yang digaris-bawahi,
dengan menghubungkannya dengan kata sebelumnya atau sesudahnya.
 Kemudian untuk Reading Comprehension, tidak semua jawaban diletakkan di akhir teks
reading. Jangan membuang waktu terlalu lama untuk membaca cerita. Konsentrasilah
pada pertanyaan dan pilihan gandanya. Yang bisa Anda lakukan, baca pilihan ganda yang
disediakan lalu coba cocokkan data tersebut dengan yang ada di soal cerita; atau latihlah
untuk membaca cepat (scanning) soal cerita.
 Ketika mengerjakan soal Listening Comprehension, jika Anda tidak tahu jawabannya,
sebaiknya tetap menjawab dengan jalan menebaknya dan jangan terpaku terlalu lama
memikirkan jawaban soal itu. INGAT, jawaban salah tidak mengurangi skor. Pada saat tes
listening berlangsung, konsentrasikan pikiran Anda hanya pada si narrator dan lembar soal,
jangan sampai Anda melewatkan kesempatan untuk mendengar pembicaraan si narrator,
karena ini bisa mengganggu konsentrasi orang lain.
 Terdapat tiga bagian dalam Listening Comprehension. Pada bagian pertama, setelah Anda
mendengar percakapan, langsung fokuslah pada pembicara ke dua. “Biasanya jawabannya
ada pada pembicara ke dua. Perhatikan dengan cermat struktur kalimat dan ekspresi dari
pembicara. Misalnya setuju, terkejut, tidak pasti, menyarankan, dan sebagainya.
 Pada bagian kedua, ide dari percakapan tersebut ada di kalimat pertama. Maka, fokuskan
pendengaran pada kalimat pertama karena. Buatlah kesimpulan tentang situasi dan keadaan
di mana percakapan itu terjadi. Misalnya kapan, di mana, dan siapa.

 Dan untuk bagian ketiga, bacalah dulu keempat jawaban dari masing-masing soal, lalu
pilihlah jawaban yang cocok dengan percakapan.

 Adapun pada soal yang khusus menguji kemampuan kita dalam hal penguasaan tata
bahasa, mulailah mengerjakan soal yang mudah, yakni nomor 1-15. Setelah itu baru nomor
16-40. Pilihlah dua jawaban yang paling mungkin, lalu pelajarilah. Jika masih tidak tahu mana
jawaban yang benar, tetaplah menjawab. Jika masih ada waktu, periksalah nomor-nomor
akhir karena itu yang sulit.

 Gunakanlah pengetahuan Bahasa Inggris dan TOEFL Anda sehingga dapat mengerjakan
semua soal TOEFL. Lakukan tes dengan jujur dan jangan coba-coba MENYONTEK, karena
ini akan berakibat fatal.

CONCORD 2
A PENGERTIAN

Concord atau agreement adalah penyesuaian unsur-unsur penyusun suatu kalimat sesuai den-
gan aturan baku dalam bahasa Inggris.

B UNSUR-UNSUR YANG HARUS DISESUAIKAN

1. Kesesuaian Tenses
Dalam kalimat bahasa Inggris, kata kerja harus disesuaikan dengan bentuk waktu dan jenis
kegiatan. Hal ini dibahas lebih jelas pada bab tenses.

2. Kesesuaian antara subyek dengan kata bantu dan kata kerja

Predikat
Kata kerja
Kata bantu
Subyek (present)
To do To have
To be
(present) (present)
I Am, was Do Have V1
he
tunggal she Is, was Does has V1 + -s/-es
it
we
jamak You Are, were Do have V1
they

Contoh:
 I do not want anything from you.
 He is a very nice person.
 The bird flies to the sky.

15
3. Kesesuaian antara kata ganti orang

personal pronoun

nomina- possessive possessive


objective reflexive
tive dependent independent
kata ganti tunggal I me my mine myself
orang per-
tama jamak we us our ours ourselves

kata ganti tunggal yourself


you you your yours
orang kedua jamak yourselves
he him his his himself
kata ganti tunggal she her her hers herself
orang ketiga it it its its itself
jamak they them their theirs themselves

Contoh:
 We see ourselves in the mirror.
 You have to do your work by yourselves.

4. Kesesuaian kata benda dengan atributnya


Berdasarkan penghitungannya, kata benda (noun) dibagi menjadi dua, yaitu countable noun
(kata benda bisa dihitung), dan uncountable noun (kata benda tidak bisa dihitung). Contoh
benda yang bisa dihitung (countable noun) misalnya: books, fans, doors, dan students. Se-
mentara uncountable noun meliputi benda-benda seperti pada tabel di bawah ini:

Contoh kata
benda sejenis Clothing, food, jewelry, machinery, money, furniture
Benda cair Water, tea, milk, oil, soup, blood, coffee
Benda padat Ice, bread, silver, wood, paper, silk
Benda gas Oxygen, air, smoke, nitrogen
Benda yang berupa partikel kecil Rice, dust, grass, hair, salt, sugar, sand, flour
Benda abstrak Beauty, advice, information, education, time, energy,
peace, patience, silence, luck, music, happiness
Bahasa, bidang studi, dan cabang Arabic, English, German, mathematics, politics, psy-
olah raga atau games. chology, literature, athletics, soccer, tennis, billiards.
Fenomena alam Weather, climate, rain, wind, sunshine, dew, thunder

Kata benda yang bisa dihitung (countable noun) dibedakan lagi menjadi kata benda tunggal
(singular) dan kata benda jamak (plural).

Contoh:
 I have a good novel (singular).
 She buys many novels (plural).

16
Dalam bahasa inggris terdapat benda-benda yang selalu dianggap tunggal maupun benda-
benda yang selalu dianggap jamak. Perhatikan tabel berikut!

Benda yang selalu dianggap tunggal Benda yang selalu dianggap jamak

a) Everybody, everyone, nobody, a) benda-benda yang umumnya selalu


nothing, anyone (tetapi bisa meng- berpasangan, misalnya: jeans, glasses,
gunakan kata ganti jamak). scissors, shoes, pajamas, dsb.
b) Benda jamak yang diawali Either of b) Kata benda yang disatukan oleh both of
… dan neither of … dan both … and …
c) Ukuran jarak, waktu, dan uang c) Kata benda yang diawali a number of
d) Judul buku, cerita, film, lagu, puisi d) Kata benda yang dihubungkan dengan
dsb either … or …, neither… nor …, dan
e) Beberapa benda yang merupakan not only … but also …
kesatuan, misalnya coffee with milk
(tidak berlaku untuk coffee and milk).
f) Kata benda yang diawali the number
of...

Contoh:
 Everybody has to come puntually.
 Those shoes are very beautiful.

Disamping itu, terdapat pula Kata benda yang bisa bermakna tunggal maupun jamak, yaitu:

a) Other bisa bermakna tunggal ataupun jamak dengan ketentuan seperti pada tabel
di bawah ini:

Another/another… Menyatakan satu hal lain yang belum jelas
tunggal
the other/the other… Menyatakan satu hal hal lain yang sudah jelas
Others/other… Menyatakan beberapa atau kumpulan hal lain
yang belum jelas
Jamak
the others/ the other… Menyatakan beberapa atau kumpulan hal lain
yang sudah jelas

Contoh:
 I don’t want this book, please give me another.
 Some student are in the yard, while the others are keep staying in the class.

b) Kumpulan atau kelompok orang yang berkedudukan sama, misalnya: family, staff,
group, crew, couple. Yang mengacu pada kesatuan kelompok bermakna tunggal
sementara yang mengacu pada anggota kelompok bermakna jamak.

Contoh:
 Sure I will help you because we are a family.
 The family is building their new house.

17
Kata benda tunggal tidak bisa berdiri sendiri tanpa didahului oleh artikel atau modifier, se-
mentara kata benda jamak dan kata benda yang tidak bisa dihitung bisa berdiri sendiri tanpa
adanya atribut-atribut tersebut.
Perhatikan tabel di bawah ini untuk mengetahui kesesuaian antara artikel dengan kata ben-
danya!

Article untuk Countable noun Article untuk Uncountable Noun
(kata benda bisa dihitung) (kata benda tidak bisa dihitung)
Tunggal a/an, the, every, each, all of, one, the, all of, the, some, much, little, a
this, that lot of, all of, this, that
Jamak the, some, many, few, a lot of, all
of, one/two/three… , these, those

Contoh:
 I need little water to drink.
 These people will go to the beach together.
 An old man told me how to reach this place

1. Kunci Jawaban: C

The people __ exited about the news.


People adalah bentuk jamak dari person. Maka tobe yang dipakai adalah were.

The committee has begun _______ meeting.


Commitee yang mengacu pada kumpulan atau kelompok orang yang berkedudukan sama
dianggap jamak sehingga kata ganti yang tepat adalah their.

Light merupakan uncountable noun sehingga tidak memiliki bentuk jamak dan tidak mungkin
memiliki artikel a. Maka jawaban yang tepat adalah electric light.

4. Kunci Jawaban: B

Director merupakan countable noun sehingga bentuk singularnya harus memiliki artikel.
Karena director yang dibicarakan sudah jelas, yaitu director of human resources, maka ar-
tikel yang digunakan adalah the.

5. Kunci Jawaban: C

Each of the participants ____ an invitation.


Kata benda yang di awali each merupakan kata benda singular, maka bentuk kata kerja
yang sesuai adalah has.

6. Kunci Jawaban: D

Producing fine painting ____ skill and creativity.


Bentuk gerund merupakan kata benda abstrak sehingga merupakan uncountable noun.
Maka kata kerja yang tepat untuk pernyataan umum seperti pada soal adalah requires.

7. Kunci Jawaban: C

It is essential that discipline ___ maintained in the classroom.


Klausa setelah that merupakan pernyataan umum dengan subyek berupa kata benda ab-
strak. Maka to be yang digunakan adalah is.

21
8. Kunci Jawaban: A

These are just a few of the many norms that every member of the society ______expected
to follow.
Klausa setelah that merupakan pernyataan umum dengan subyek tunggal (karena diawali
every). Maka to be yang digunakan adalah is.

9. Kunci Jawaban: C

clear to black.
Kalimat diatas merupakan pernyataan umum. Kata kerja yang tepat untuk subyek they
adalah kata kerja bentuk pertama, yaitu range.

10. Kunci Jawaban: A

As an economic system, _______ depends on individual initiative.


Kalimat tersebut membutuhkan subyek. Capitalism merupakan uncountable noun sehingga
tidak mungkin diawali article a. Kata ini menunjuk pada suatu paham atau ideology yang
tidak membutuhkan the.

11. Kunci Jawaban: B

Subyek diawali the number of sehingga dianggap tunggal. Keterangan waktu at the mom-
ment menunjukkan bahwa tenses yang dipakai adalah present continuous tense.

Kata ganti yang tepat untuk melengkapi percakapan ini adalah possessive independent,
yaitu mine.

diawali kata kerja bentuk pertama yang mendapat tambahan –s.

14. Kunci Jawaban: C

Some people like reading history books, ______ prefer reading novels.
Kalimat ini hanya membandingkan dua kelompok. Maka jika dikatakan seklompok orang
menyukai buku sejarah, maka sudah jelas bahwa kelompok yang menyukai membaca novel

22
adalah kelompok selain penyuka buku sejarah. Untuk menyatakan beberapa atau kumpulan
hal lain yang sudah jelas digunakan the others.

15. Kunci Jawaban: A

Billiards merupakan uncountable noun. Makato be yang tepat untuk pernyataan umum sep-
erti pada soal adalah is.

EXERCISE 2

16. Kunci Jawaban: B

All of my time are spent in the library.


Time merupakan benda abstrak (uncountable noun) sehingga tobe yang tepat seharusnya
is.

17. Kunci Jawaban: B

A number of students is complaining about the test.


Kata benda yang diawali a number of selalu bermakna jamak sehingga to be yang digu-
nakan seharusnya adalah are.

18. Kunci Jawaban: A

Every digunakan untuk countable noun yang tunggal, sementara gold adalah benda padat
yang digolongkan ke dalam uncountable noun.

19. Kunci Jawaban: A

Klausa yang diawali oleh that merupakan klausa yang tidak bisa berdiri sendiri, karena itu lah
keberadaan that pada kalimat soal tersebut rancu.

20. Kunci Jawaban: A

Weather merupakan fenomena alam yang termasuk uncountable noun. Maka penggunaan
artikel a tidak tepat.

CONDITIONAL SENTENCE 3
A PENGERTIAN

Kalimat conditional merupakan kalimat yang berisi pengandaian atau serang juga disebut kali-
mat bersyarat dimana suatu kejadian akan terjadi jika syaratnya terpenuhi.

B JENIS-JENIS CONDITIONAL SENTENCE

Dalam kalimat conditional terdapat dua klausa, yaitu: main clause dan if clause dimana susunan
kedua klausa ini tidak mempengaruhi arti. Kalimat yang menyatakan fakta dari pengandaian
ini harus berlawanan dengan kalimat pengandaiannya. Jika kalimat pengandaian merupakan
kalimat affirmative, maka faktanya berupa kalimat negative dan sebaliknya (kecuali untuk tipe I).

Contoh : if you didn’t wake me up, I would be late.


Faktanya : You wake me up, so I am not late.
I am not because you wake me up.

Conditional sentence dibagi menjadi tiga tipe seperti berikut:

a. Tipe I (future)
Kalimat conditional tipe pertama ini mengacu pada peristiwa di masa depan (future) se-
hingga kenyataan atau fakta dari pernyataan ini masih berupa kemungkinan yang bisa
terjadi dan bisa juga tidak terjadi. Pola conditional sentence tipe tipe pertama ini adalah
sebagai berikut:

If + simple present tense, future tense

Contoh:
 If Boby meets Nana, he will be happy (jika Boby bertemu Nana, dia akan senang)
Fakta dari kalimat diatas tergantung pada pemenuhan syaratnya. Boby bisa senang
tapi bisa juga tidak, tergantung dia bertemu Nana atau tidak.

25
Catatan:
1) Conditional sentence tipe I sebenarnya merujuk pada masa depan (future) sehingga
keterangan waktu yang dipakai adalah keterangan waktu untuk future.
Contoh : If she comes tomorrow, I will be at home.
Fakta : May be I will be at home, may be I will not.

2) Main clause dapat berbentuk present tense sehingga rumusnya: If + simple present
tense, present tense.
Contoh : If Diana wants, she can come everytime.
Fakta : she comes or not depends on she wants or not.

b. Tipe II (present)
Kalimat conditional tipe II merupakan kalimat pengandaian untuk masa sekarang
dimana kalimat ini bertentangan dengan kenyataan yang terjadi pada masa sekarang
(present). Maka kenyataan atau fakta dalam bentuk Present Tense.

If + simple past tense, past future tense

Contoh:
 If I had my own motorbike, I would go there my self.
Fakta : I don’t have my own motorbike, so I don’t go there my self
→ fakta dalam bentuk present tense.

 They would not be angry if you don’t cheat them.


Fakta : They are angry because you cheat them
→ fakta dalam bentuk present tense.

Catatan:
1) Conditional sentence tipe II sebenarnya merujuk pada masa sekarang (present)
sehingga keterangan waktu yang dipakai adalah keterangan waktu untuk present.
Contoh : If I had money now, I would buy more things.
Fakta : I don’t have money now, so I don’t buy more things.

2) Dalam conditional sentence tipe II ini, modal seperti could, might, dan should bisa
dipakai dalam main clause sebagai pengganti modal would.
Contoh : If I wanted, I could force him to come now.
Fakta : I don’t want, so I don’t force him to come now.

3) To be yang digunakan dalam tipe ini adalah were, walaupun kalimat bersubyek tung-
gal (he, she, it dan I).
Contoh : If I were you, I would stay in my room in this cold weather.
Fakta : I don’t stay in my room because I am not you.

26
c. Tipe III (past)
Kalimat conditional tipe III merupakan kalimat pengandaian untuk masa lalu dimana
kalimat ini bertentangan dengan kenyataan yang terjadi pada masa lalu (past). Maka
kenyataan atau fakta pun harus dalam bentuk Past Tense.

If + past perfect tense, past future perfect tense

Contoh:
 If I had chosen the right one, I would not have regretted it.
Fakta : I didn’t choose the right one, so I regretted it
→ fakta dalam bentuk pasttense.

 If Aat had realized how hurt it was for me, He would have said sorry.
Fakta : Aat didn’t realize how hurt it was for me, so he didn’t say sorry
→ fakta dalam bentuk past tense.

C SUSUNAN CONDITIONAL SENTENCE TANPA IF

Conditional sentence tipe II dengan if clause mengandung to be were dan conditional sentence
tipe III bisa disusun dengan bentuk susun balik atau inversi.
Maka if clause-nya akan berbentuk seperti di bawah ini :
Tipe II -> Were + S + Complement
Tipe II -> had + S + V3

Contoh:
 If I were a princess, I could get everything
→ were I princess, I could get everything.

 If I had got tallent in singing, I would have become a famous singer


→had I got tallent in singing, I would have become a famous singer.

Catatan:

If dalam kalimat pengandaian dapat diganti dengan kata lain yang maknanya setara, seperti:
unless (kecuali jika), in condition that (dengan syarat bahwa), provided that (asalkan), other-
wise (jika tidak), dan in case (jika).

INFINITIVE & GERUND 5
A PENGERTIAN

Infinitive adalah bentuk dasar kata kerja yang tidak mengacu pada tenses atau subject. Gerund
merupakan kata kerja dalam bentuk V-ing yang dikata-bendakan atau memiliki fungsi sebagai kata
benda

B PENGGUNAAN INFINITIVE

Infinitive dibagi menjadi dua yaitu ‘to infinitive’ dimana infinitive tersebut digunakan bersama
preposisi ‘to’ dan ‘bare infinitive’ yaitu infinitive tanpa preposisi ‘to’. Fungsi infinitive tersebut
antara lain:

Penggunaan ‘to’ infinitive


1) Berfungsi sebagai Subyek
Contoh: To sing the song is my favorite part.
2) Berfungsi sebagai keterangan penjelas (modifier)
a) Sebagai penjelas kata benda
Contoh: There are many things to do.
b) Sebagai penjelas kata sifat
Contoh: I’m sorry to hear that.
c) Sebagai penjelas kata kerja
Contoh: they prey on to keep themselves alive.
d) Sebagai penjelas kata tanya
Contoh: I don’t know what to say.
3) Digunakan dengan pola: too + adjective + to infinitive
Contoh: it is too difficult to solve.
4) Digunakan bersama kata enough dengan pola:
a) adjective/adverb + enough + to infinitive
Contoh: His reason is reasonable enough to accept.
b) enough + noun + to infinitive
Contoh: I don’t have enough credit to call you.

47
Beberapa kata kerja diikuti oleh to infinitive dengan pola: verb + to infinitive atau verb + noun/
pronoun + to infinitive. Beberapa kata kerja tersebut antara lain:

hope plan intend decide
promise agree offer refuse
seem appear pretend ask
expect would like want need
tell invite require remind
advise permit order warn
encourage allow force learn

Penggunaan bare infinitive


1) Digunakan setelah modal.
2) Digunakan setelah kata kerja persepsi atau kata kerja yang berhubungan dengan panca
indra dengan pola: S + V + O + Bare invinitive.
3) Setelah kata kerja causative active have, let, make.
4) Digunakan setelah kata: need not, dare not, would rather, dan had better.

C PENGGUNAAN GERUND

1) Sebagai subyek
Contoh: walking is good for health.
2) Sebagai Obyek
a. Obyek kata kerja
Contoh: when did you start learning the language?
b. Obyek preposisi
Contoh: thank you for making you happy.
3) Sebagai komplemen
Contoh: All I want is being with you now.
4) Sebagai penjelas kata benda
Contoh:
 Driving lisence (surat izin mengemudi)
 swimming pool (kolam renang)
5) Sebagai noun head (kata benda yang dijelaskan)
Contoh:
 Silver mining (penambangan perak)
 Natural healing (penyembuhan alami)
6) Sebagai possessive noun yang diletakkan setelah possessive pronoun.
Contoh:
 Her feeling (perasaannya)
 Their coming (kedatangan mereka)

48
7) Diletakkan setelah kata ‘no’ sebagai larangan.
Contoh:
 No smoking! (Dilarang merokok!)
 No climbing! (Dilarang memanjat!)

Beberapa kata kerja tertentu diikuti oleh gerund dengan pola: verb + gerund atau verb + noun/
pronoun + gerund. Beberapa kata kerja tersebut antara lain:

admit delay resist advice


recall keep risk mention
enjoy avoid mind regret
tolerate finish forget consider
remember understand complete suggest
deny stop miss practice

Perkecualian:
Preposisi ‘to’ tidak diikuti oleh gerund akan tetapi diikuti oleh infinitive, Namun perlu diketahui
bahwa ada beberapa frase
preposisi ‘to’ yang harus selalu diikuti oleh gerund. Beberapa frase tersebut diantaranya:
To look forward to (menanti-nanti) to take to (menyukai)
To be used to (terbiasa) to be averse to (terbiasa)
To be accustomed to (terbiasa) to be object to (keberatan)

Beberapa kata kerja bisa diikuti oleh to infinitive dan gerund tanpa perbedaan makna, misalnya:

allow attempt begin bother


cease continue deserve fear
hate intend like love
neglect omit permit prefer
recommend start

Beberapa kata kerja lain bila diikuti to infinitive bermakna ‘belum berlangsung’, sedangkan bila
diikuti gerund bermakna sudah berlangsung. Kata kerja tersebut antara lain:

Come forget go on mean


Regret remember stop try

- Being with you is the happiest momment that I can remember.

b) ... the + most + adjective/adverb


Pola ini berlaku jika adjective atau adverb terdiri lebih dari dua suku kata.
Contoh kalimat:
- Maya is the most beautiful girl of all.
- It is the most extraordinary experience in my life.

Catatan:
 Terdapat beberapa kata sifat (adjective) dan kata keterangan (Adverb) yang tidak beraturan dimana
bentuk comparative degree dan superlative degree tidak dapat diterapkan. Kata-kata tersebut an-
tara lain:

Positive degree Comparative degree Superlative degree


good (adj)/ well (adv) better best
bad (adj)/ badly (adv) worse worst
much/many more most
little less least
far farther (jauh) farthest (jauh)
further (lanjut) furthest (lanjut)

Dalam comparative degree dan superlative degree, keterangan cara (adverb of manner) yang
diakhiri oleh akhiran –ly selalu menggunakan bentuk kedua walaupun hanya terdiri dari dua suku
kata, contoh: we always drive it more quickly than they do.
 Kata the pada pola superlative untuk adverb tidak selalu digunakan, contoh: the sing most beauti-
fully.

my room size (garasi itu setengah luas kamarku) maka perbandingan yang di pakai seharus-
nya bukan perbandingan setara tetapi perbandingan tingkat lebih atau comparative degree.
Sehingga bentuk yang tepat seharusnya The garage is bigger than my room.

WORD ORDER 8
A PENGERTIAN

Word order merupakan urutan-urutan kata yang sesuai dengan standard baku dalam menyusun
suatu kalimat bahasa Inggris.

B SUSUNAN NOUN PHRASE


Noun Phrase atau frase kata benda merupakan kelompok atau gabungan kata yang memiliki
kesatuan fungsi sebagai Noun. Noun Phrase selalu memiliki noun head atau kata benda utama
yang dijelaskan oleh satu atau lebih kata penjelas. Dalam menyusun urutan noun head dan kata
penjelas tersebut, perhatikan aturan baku berikut:

Rumus urutan noun phrase:
D O E C H
OR S A T SH CO OR M PA
Keterangan:

1) D = determiner
Determiner meliputi:
- articles (a, an, the)
- quantitative (some, many, much, little, few, a lot of)
- possessives (my, your, our, their, his, her, its)
- demonstratives (this, that, those, these)

2) O = ordinate
Ordinate meliputi:
- Numeral, yaitu kata yang menunjukkan jumlah atau angka misalnya: one, two, first,
second, double, single.
- Comarative adjective, yaitu kata sifat yang berbentuk perbandingan dengan tambahan
–er, more, -est, atau most.

73
3) E = epitet
Epitet yaitu kata sifat yang tidak berbentuk comparative ()tapi sebenarnya bisa berben-
tuk comparative adjective dengan mendapat tambahan –er, more, -est, atau most).
Kata sifat ini bisa berupa:
a. OP = opinion (opini)
Misalnya: interesting, beautiful, delicious.
b. S = size (ukuran)
Misalnya: big, large, narrow, thin, heavy, high, small, deep, short.
c. A = age (umur)
Misalnya: old, young, new.
d. T = temperature (suhu)
Misalnya: cold, hot, warm.
e. SH = shape (bentuk)
Misalnya: round, square, cone.
f. CO = color (warna)
Misalnya: red, blue, black, white, violet.
g. OR = Origin (asal)
Misalnya: Japanese, Indonesian, American.
h. M = material (bahan)
Misalnya: leather, silk, wooden, silver, plastic.
i. P = participle
Misalnya: covered, painted, enchanted.

4) C = classifying
Classifying merupakan kata benda atau gerund yang fungsinya sebagai penjelas kata
benda utama. Misalnya: dining room, history book.

5) H = head
Head merupakan kata utama yang berupa kata benda atau gerund. Misalnya: dining
room, history book.

Contoh susunan Noun Phrase:
 the three handsome tall young Italian boys (Tiga anak laki-laki muda yang tinggi dan
tampan)
D O OP S A OR H
E
 this amazing huge old brick castile (kastil batu tua yang besar dan mengagumkan ini)
D OP S A M H
E

74
C SUSUNAN ADVERB

1) Adverb of frequency (keterangan frekuensi)


Keterangan frekuensi bisa diletakkan sebelum kata kerja utama, di awal kalimat, maupun di
akhir kalimat. Kata-kata yang diletakkan sebelum kata kerja utama ini misalnya antara lain:
Always, often, occasionally, usually, frequently, often, sometimes (Jika kalimat memiliki kata
have to, has to, had to, used to, atau ought to, kata keterangan di letakan sebelum kata
tersebut).
Contoh:
 I scarcely understand what he means.
 They often have to argue accept someone else’s argument.

Kata-kata keterangan frekuensi bermakna negatif seperti: seldom, never, scarcely, rarely um-
umnya diletakkan di awal kalimat dengan menggunakan bentuk inversi (susun balik).
Contoh:
 Never has Mayang been here before.
 Hardly are you satisfied with the result.

Kata-kata keterangan frekuensi seperti: every…., …times, once, twice, once a week diletak-
kan di akhir kalimat.
Contoh:
 We play tennis every Saturday.
 I have ever seen the movie once.

2) Adverb of degree (keterangan tingkatan)


Adverb of degree seperti: really, rather, still, quite, almost, too, extremely, also, soon, too, just,
only, merely, already diletakkan sebelum kata sifat, kata keterangan, dan kata kerja yang
diterangkannya.
Contoh:
 We are still waiting for the bus.
 The price is too expensive for us.

Catatan:
Kata Enough yang menerangkan noun di letakkan sebelum noun (enough sebagai adjective)
tapi bila menerangkan adjective atau adverb (enough sebagai adverb) diletakkan di akhir kali-
mat.
Contoh:
 I don’t have enough to buy the necklace.
 The weather is good enough for walking.

3) Adverb of manner (keterangan cara)


Adverb of manner biasanya dibentuk dari kata sifat yang medapat akhiran –ly, misalnya:
beautifully, happily, loudly. Namun perlu diingat bahwa adverb of manner dari kata good
adalah weel (bukan goodly) dan beberapa adjective memiliki bentuk yang sama dengan ad-
verb of manner-nya. Contoh: deep, far, early, fast, hard, high, low, late, near, much. Adverb of
manner ini diletakkan di akhir kalimat atau sebelum kata kerja inti.

75
Contoh:
 I bet he will be the winner because he runs fast.
 Nadia happily said that she would get married soon.

4) Adverb of place (keterangan tempat)


Kata keterangan ini diletakkan di akhir kalimat. Jika terdapat lebih dari satu keterangan tem-
pat, maka keterangan yang lebih spesifik diletakkan sebelum keterangan yang lebih luas.
Kata-kata yang dipakai untuk keterangan tempat antara lain: here, there, somewhere, in
London, at home, etc.
Contoh:
 Just wait here!
 He still wants to live in his hometown.

5) Adverb of time (keterangan waktu)


Kata keterangan waktu seperti: tomorrow, now, last week, still, yet, then bisa diletakkan di
awal atau akhir kalimat. Keterangan waktu yang jangka waktunya lebih pendek diletakan
sebelum Keterangan waktu yang jangka waktunya lebih panjang. Khusus untuk kata still bisa
diletakkan sebelum kata kerja inti.
Contoh:
 I will meet the family of my fiancee this coming Saturday.
 I will be back here at 10 o o’clock on Monday.

Jika keterangan waktu, cara, dan tempat terdapat bersamaan dalam satu kalimat,
maka susunannya adalah MPT (Manner, Place, Time).
Contoh:
 Ryan is walking slowly in the yard this morning.
 The baby cries outloud in its room everyday.

A PENGERTIAN

Modal adalah merupakan kata kerja bantu dimana penggunaannya adalah bersama kata kerja
utama dan memiliki fungsi untuk menyatakan permission (izin), posibility (kemungkinan), atau
necessity (keperluan).

B MACAM-MACAM MODAL
Modal digolongkan menjadi 3 macam yaitu modal present, modal past, dan modal perfect. Mod-
al present dan modal past hanya bisa diikuti oleh bentuk infinitive tanpa to atau bare infinitive,
sedangkan modal perfect diikuti oleh kata kerja bentuk ketiga (V3).

1) Modal Present
Yang digolongkan dalam modal present antara lain:

a) Will
Modal will ini memiliki kegunaan untuk menyatakan masa depan (future), kemauan atau
niatan (willingness), dan bisa juga digunakan untuk memperhalus permintaan (polite
request). Dalam menyatakan masa depan, modal ini bisa digantikan oleh bentuk is/am/
are + going to.
Contoh:
 I will go to New York someday.
 I will help you if you need my help.
 Will you prepare a cup of coffee for me, please!

b) Shall
Seperti halnya modal will, shall juga digunakan untuk menyatakan masa depan dengan
syarat subyeknya adalah I atau we. Selain itu, shall digunakan untuk meminta saran
atau pendapat.
Contoh:
 I will go to New York someday.
 Shall I go despite the rain?

83
c) May
Modal ini memiliki kegunaan untuk menyatakan izin formal (polite permission) dan ke-
mungkinan (possibility).
Contoh:
 You may go tonight, but you have to go home before late.
 She may be angry because of our mistake.

d) Can
Modal ini memiliki kegunaan untuk menyatakan kemampuan/ketidakmampuan (ability/
possibility) dan izin informal (informal permission). Dalam menyatakan kemampuan/keti-
dakmampuan modal ini bisa digantikan dengan to be able to atau to be capable of.
Contoh:
 I can do what she does now, even better!
 You can eat what you want.

e) Must (setara dengan have to/has to)


Modal ini memiliki kegunaan untuk menyatakan keharusan dan kesimpulan. Untuk
menyatakan keharusan, bisa digantikan dengan have to/has to dan bentuk negatifnya
menyatakan larangan.
Contoh:
 I can do what she does now, even better!
 You can eat what you want.

f) Ought to
Modal ini memiliki kegunaan untuk menyatakan saran.
Contoh: It’s raining so hard; you ought to bring your umbrella.

2) Modal Past
Yang digolongkan dalam modal past umumnya merupakan bentuk kedua dari modal present,
antara lain:

a) Would (bentuk kedua will)


Modal ini memiliki kegunaan untuk menyusun past future tense (perhatikan kembali bab
tentang tenses), menyatakan keinginan dan preference, dan meminta dengan sopan.
Contoh:
 Rara would have cleaned the whole house by the time her family come back last Sat-
urday.
 I would like to join you to the cinema tonight.
 I would rather drink coffee than tea.
 Would you help me lift this bag, please!

b) Should (bentuk kedua shall)


Modal ini memiliki kegunaan untuk mengungkapkan saran (suggestion) dan me-
nyatakan kemungkinan atau kepastian (possibility/certainty)
Contoh:
 You should change your mind about this case.
 Henfry should be sleeping now.

84
c) Might (bentuk lampau may)
Modal ini memiliki kegunaan untuk menyatakan kemungkinan lampau dan memperhalus
permintaan.
Contoh:
 she might be sad because she didn’t see you last night.
 Might I come in?

d) Could (bentuk kedua can)


Modal ini memiliki kegunaan untuk menyatakan kemampuan di masa lampau (past abil-
ity) dan untuk menyatakan permintaan sopan (polite request).
Contoh:
 I didn’t help her because she said she could do it by herself.
 Could you repeat it again, please!

3) Modal Perfect
Modal perfect meliputi bentuk-bentuk seperti di bawah ini:

a) Should have/ought to have


Berfungsi untuk menyatakan saran yang seharusnya dilakukan pada masa lampau tapi
tidak dilakukan (past suggestion) atau bisa juga menyatakan kemungkinan di masa lalu.
Contoh:
 You should have tried harder, so you would win the competition.
 Sarah should have been sleepy when she drove so the accident happened.

b) Must have
Berfungsi untuk menyatakan kesimpulan mengenai hal yang terjadi di masa lampau
(past conclusion), Contoh: Eko must have prepared this surprise since a week ago.

c) Could have
Berfungsi untuk menyatakan kemampuan di masa lampau (past capability) tetapi tidak
digunakan.
Contoh: Edo could stay here longer, but he went home earlier.

d) Might have
Berfungsi untuk menyatakan kemungkinan di masa lampau (past possibility).
Contoh: Vany looked very upset; we might have made mistake last night.

DIRECT-INDIRECT SPEECH 10
A PENGERTIAN

Direct speech kalimat yang diucapkan secara langsung dimana penulisannya menggunakan quotation
mark atau tanda petik. Sebaliknya indirect speech merupakan kalimat yang tidak diucapkan secara lang-
sung dan penulisannya tidak menggunakan tanda petik. Dalam direct-indirect speech dikenal reporting
speech (bagian yang melaporkan) dan reported speech (bagian yang dilaporkan).
Contoh:
Reporting speech Reported speech
Direct speech She said, “she is happy”
Indirect speech She said she was happy

B MACAM – MACAM BENTUK DIRECT-INDIRECT SPEECH

1. Statement (pernyataan)
Yaitu bentuk direct-indirect speech dimana reported speech-nya berupa kalimat afirmative
atau pernyataan, contohnya:
 I said that I would be there punctially.
 Yohana told me she was disappointed of you.

2. Question (pertanyaan)
Yaitu bentuk direct-indirect speech dimana reported speech kalimat langsungnya berupa per-
tanyaan sementara reported speech pada kalimat tidak langsung berubah menjadi kalimat
statement.
Contoh:
 Ricky asks, “are you happy?”
 Hendra asked me, “What are you doing?”

3. Command and prohibition (Perintah dan larangan)


Yaitu bentuk direct-indirect speech dimana reported speech kalimat langsungnya berupa per-
intah atau larangan sementara reported speech pada kalimat tidak langsung berubah men-
jadi kalimat statement.
Contoh:
 Mother tells me, “Do your work well!”
 Ryan prohibits me, “Don’t get close when I’m sleeping”.

93
C PERUBAHAN-PERUBAHAN DALAM DIRECT-INDIRECT SPEECH
1. Perubahan pronoun
Pada beberapa kalimat langsung yang diubah menjadi kalimat tidak langsung, akan terjadi
perubahan pronoun pada reported speech. Perubahan pronoun ini mengikuti bentuk pronoun
pada reporting speech tanpa dipengaruhi bentuk tenses reporting speech tersebut.
Misalnya: Jati said to me, “I have something for you” → Jati said to me that he had some-
thing for me.

2. Perubahan tenses
Pada kalimat langsung yang diubah menjadi kalimat tidak langsung, akan terjadi perubahan
tenses pada reported speech jika reporting speech dalam bentuk past tense. Perubahan
tenses tersebut adalah sebagai berikut:

Direct Indirect
Simple Present Tense Simple Past Tense
Present Continuous Tense Past Continuous Tense
Present Perfect Tense Past Perfect Tense
Present Perfect Continuous Tense Past Perfect Continuous Tense
Simple Past Tense Past Perfect Tense
Past Continuous Tense Past Perfect Continuous Tense
Simple Future Tense Past Future Tense
Future Continuous Tense Past Future Continuous Tense
Future Perfect Tense Past Future Perfect Tense
Future Perfect Continuous Tense Past Future Perfect Tense
Past Future Tense Past Perfect Future Tense
Past Future Continuous Tense Past Perfect Future Continuous Tense

Contoh:
 He said, “Dita invited me her party” → He said Dita had invited him to her party.
 Rani told me, “Irwan is very handsome” → Rani told me Irwan was very handsome.

3. Perubahan adverb
Perubahan adverb juga hanya terjadi jika reporting speech dalam bentuk past tense. Peruba-
han tersebut antara lain, seperti:

Direct Indirect
Now Then, at the time
Today That day
Tomorrow The next day, the day after, the following day
Yesterday The day before
... ago ... before
Last ... The ... before
Next ... The ... After ..., the following...

94
Contoh:
 Ronny said, “I am hungry now” → Ronny said that he was hungry at the time.
 Claudia said, “I was at Budi’s house last night” → Claudia said she had been at Budi’s
house the night before.

4. Perubahan susunan kalimat dan bentuk penghubung


Jika reported speech pada kalimat langsung berupa pertanyaan, perintah atau larangan,
pada kalimat tak langsungnya pola reported speech itu akan berubah menjadi pola kalimat
affirmative.
Pola reported speech pada kalimat pertanyaan akan berubah menjadi seprti di bawah ini:

yes/no question If/ whether + S + predikat

WH question WH question + S + V

Sementara pada kalimat perintah atau larangan, tinggal membubuhkan to dan not to sebagai
penghubung. Perhatikan tabel berikut:

Bentuk kalimat penghubung


Kalimat interrogative If/whether/question words
Kalimat perintah to
Kalimat larangan not to
Contoh:
 Daniel asks “what do you want?” → Daniel asks what i want.
 Cleo asked, “are you happy now?” → Cleo asked if i was happy then.
 Bryan said to me, “don’t stay to close to the fire!” →Bryan said to me not to stay close to
the fire.
 Celly told her brothers, “bring me ice cream!” → celly told her brothers to bring her ice
cream.

that sehingga jawaban yang tepat adalah Yono wished that he had been the winner.
2. Kunci Jawaban: D

yang dimaksud (you) adalah Sita. Sehingga jawaban yang tepat adalah why Sita had made

 Kata sambung if/whether
Maka kalimat indirect-nya: whether I had had my breakfast.

menjadi Let’s ask him why he is searching
every drawer yang memiliki makna yang
sama dengan Let’s ask him what he is looking for.
15. Kunci Jawaban: B

100
EXERCISE 2

Pola kalimat tak langsung untuk kalimat perintah adalah: S + told + to V1. Maka kata took
seharusnya diganti dengan to take.
3. Kunci Jawaban: B

Karena kata kerja pada reporting speech adalah bentuk lampau (asked), maka kata kerja
pada reported speech tidak mungkin berbentuk future. Jadi will seharusnya diganti dengan
would.
4. Kunci Jawaban: C
Mother asked whether you want meatballs or fried chicken.
Karena kata kerja pada reporting speech adalah bentuk lampau, maka kata kerja pada re-
ported speech tidak mungkin berbentuk present. Jadi want seharusnya diganti dengan want-
ed.
5. Kunci Jawaban: B
He said he went to her house the previous day.
Keterangan waktu previous day menunjukkan bahwa kejadian pada reported speech terjadi
pada masa lampau atau dengan kata lain, jika kalimat tersebut berupa kalimat langsung,
tensesnya adalah past tense. Karena kata kerja pada reporting speech berbentuk lampau
maka dalam kalimat tak langsung, tenses pada reported speech tersebut harus berubah
menjadi past perfect. Maka went seharusnya diganti dengan had gone.

PARTICIPLE 11
A PENGERTIAN

Participle merupakan kata kerja yang bentuknya berupa V-ing atau V3 yang mana dapat
digunakan dalam menyusun bentuk-bentuk tenses maupun digunakan sebagai kata sifat atau
adjective.

B JENIS PARTICIPLE

1. Present participle
Present participle merupakan kata kerja bentuk –ing yang menunjuk pada kegiatan yang
bersifat aktif.

Penggunaan:
a) Sebagai bagian penyusun continuous.
Contoh: I am listening music right now.
b) Sebagai adjective yang digunakan untuk menjelaskan kata benda (noun) dengan makna
aktif.
Contoh: The child looks at the flying bird (memiliki makna sama dengan bird that flies)
c) Digunakan setelah kata kerja persepsi dengan pola: S + V + O + Present Participle
(jika obyek aktif).
Contoh: I notice him escaping from my sight.

Catatan:
1. Present participle memiliki persamaan dengan gerund yaitu sama-sama berbentuk Ving
dan sama-sama bisa digunakan sebagai adjective untuk menjelaskan kata benda. Na-
mun perbedaannya, jika digunakan sebagai adjective, present participle menunjukkan
kegiatan sementara gerund menunjukkan fungsi atau kegunan, contoh:
 The smoking man is my father (laki-laki yang sedang merokok itu adalah ayahku)
→ participle.
 The smoking area is also available (area untuk merokok juga tersedia) → gerund.

103
2. Present participle juga memiliki persamaan dengan bare infinitive yaitu sama-sama
digunakan setelah kata kerja persepsi dengan makna aktif. Namun, kata kerja persepsi
yang diikuti bare infinitive menunjukkan peristiwa secara lengkap sedangkan yang diikuti
present participle menunjukkan sebagian dari peristiwa saja, contoh:
 I see him dancing there (aku melihatnya sedang menari disana) → hanya melihat
peristiwa saat dia menari.
 I see him dance there (aku melihatnya menari disana) → melihat kejadian secara leng-
kap.

2. Past participle
Past participle merupakan kata kerja dengan bentuk V3 yang menunjukkan kegiatan yang
bersifat pasif.

Penggunaan:
a) Sebagai komponen pembentuk kalimat pasif
Contoh: The car has been repaired.
b) Sebagai adjective yang digunakan untuk menjelaskan kata benda (noun) dengan makna
pasif.
Contoh: he feels so pity on the ignored child (memiliki makna yang sama dengan child
that is ignored)
c) Digunakan setelah kata kerja persepsi (kata kerja yang berhubungan dengan panca
indra) dengan pola: S + V + O + Past Participle (jika obyeknya pasif).
Contoh: I heard him punished by his teacher.

C GABUNGAN KALIMAT DENGAN PARTICIPLE

Dua kalimat dengan subyek sama yang terjadi secara berurutan atau bersamaan serta kalimat
yang memiliki hubungan sebab akibat dapat digabungakan dengan menggunakan participle
dengan pola-pola seperti berikut ini:

1. Present participle digunakan untuk menggantikan subyek dengan kata kerja aktif dengan
pola:
Pola kalimat verbal :
(Ving + ... ), (S + P) → simple dan continuous

(Having + V3 + ... ), (S + P) → perfect

Contoh kalimat:
 He cooks very well. He want to own a big restaurant.
Cooking very well, he want to own a big restaurant.
 Rina has finished her school. She plans to continue her study in a university.
Having finished her school, Rina plans to continue her study in a university.

104
Pola kalimat nominal :
(being + complement), (S + P)
→ simple dan continuous

(Having
+ been + complement), (S + P) → perfect

Contoh kalimat:
 Monica is a teacher. She has to behave well.
Being a teacher, Monica has to behave well.
 She has been here for 2 hours. She decides to leave.
Having been here for 2 hours, she decides to leave.

2. Past participle digunakan untuk menggantikan subyek dengan kata kerja pasif.
Pola kalimat :

(V3 + by ... ), (S + P)
(Being +V3 + by ... ), S + P) → simple dan continuous

(Having + been + V3 + by ...), (S + P)
→ perfect

Contoh kalimat:
 Her friends force him to stay. She cancels his ticket.
Forced to stay by her friends, she cancels his ticket.
 Ronny has been asked to help the girl. Ronny will not come with us tonight.
Having been asked to help the girl, Ronny will not come with us tonight.

ma, namun justru dikenai tindakan atau perbuatan.

B POLA PASSIVE VOICE

di bawah ini:
 Pola passive voice berdasar tensesnya
Maka keseluruhan pola kalimat pasif berdasar tensesnya adalah sebagai berikut:

Tenses Rumus pasif
Present Simple Present tense S + be1 (is, am, are) + V3
Present Continuous Tense S + be1 (is, am, are) + being + V3
Present Perfect Tense S + have/has + been + V3
Present Perfect Continuous Tense S + have/has + been + being+ V3

Future Perfect Tense S + will/shall + have + been + V3
Future Perfect Continuous Tense S +will/shall +have +been +being +V3
Past Simple Past Future tense S + would/should + be + V3
Future Past Future Continuous Tense S + would/should + be+ being + V3
Past Future Perfect Tense S + would/should + have + been + V3
Past Future Perfect Continuous Tense S+would/should+have+been+being+V3

111
 Pola kalimat pasif yangmemiliki modal atau modal perfect
Pola kalimat pasif yang menggunakan modal pada dasarnya serupa dengan pola future dan
past future, yaitu:

S + modal + be + V3
S + modal + have + been + V3

Contoh:
 When you break the rules, you must be punished.
 Y ou should have been remainded so you would not do the mistake.

 Bentuk pasif dari to infinitive dan gerund.


Pola kalimat pasif dari bentuk to infinitive
to + be + V3

Contoh:
 Kalimat aktif : He want to revise his paper.
Kalimat pasif : He wants his paper to be revised (by him).
Pola kalimat pasif dari bentuk gerund
Being + V3

Contoh:
 Kalimat aktif : I love making fun of them
Kalimat pasif : I love them being made fun (by me).
 Kalimat aktif : Bagus advices her prioritizing her study.
Kalimat pasif : Bagus advices her study being prioritized (by her).

 Rumus kalimat pasif yang berupa pertanyaan

a. Pola pasif untuk yes-no question


• jika kalimat tersebut tidak memiliki modal
Tobe + S + V3 ?

Contoh:
 Are the books put in the shelf?
 Was the wall painted?

• jika kalimat tersebut memiliki modal


Modal + S + be + V3 ?

Contoh:
 Must the car be washed now?
 Could you be trusted anymore?

112
b. pola pasif untuk wh-question
• jika kalimat tersebut tidak memiliki modal
WH-queston + tobe + S + V3 ?

Contoh:

 Who is promoted for the position?

• jika kalimat tersebut memiliki modal


WH-queston + modal + S + be + V3 ?

Contoh:
 Why should it be covered?
 How can you be kicked off?

• jika yang ditanyakan adalah subyek kalimat pasif tersebut


WH-queston + to be/modal be + V3 ?

Contoh:
 Who is offended by that boy?
 What will be exhibit in the exhibition?

C MENENTUKAN SUBYEK KALIMAT PASIF


Jika sebuah kalimat aktif akan diubah menjadi kalimat pasif, maka perlu diperhatikan subyek
yang tepat untuk kalimat pasif dan perlu diketahui juga apakah subyek itu tunggal atau jamak
sehingga dapat ditentukan to be yang tepat. Berikut adalah cara untuk menentukan subyek ka-
limat aktif dari sebuah kalimat pasif:

 Jika kalimat aktif berpola S + V + O, obyek pada kalimat tersebut akan menjadi
subyek kalimat pasifnya.
Contoh
Kalimat aktif : She breaks the boy’s heart.
Kalimat pasif : The boy’s heart is broken by her.

 Jika kalimat aktif memiliki dua obyek (obyek langsung dan obyek tak langsung),
maka obyek langsung akan menjadi subyek untuk kalimat pasifnya.
Contoh
Kalimat aktif : I always tells you everything.
O1 O2
Kalimat pasif : You are told everything by me.

113
 jika kalimat aktifnya menggunakan subyek berupa people, everyone, dan ev-
erybody yang diikuti that clause, maka subyek kalimat pasifnya berupa Imper-
sonal ‘it’.
Contoh
Kalimat aktif : Everybody says that I am sometimes crazy.
Kalimat pasif : It is said that I am sometimes crazy.

nyatakan tujuan.

dak saling berlawan tapi merupakan hubunga sebab akibat, maka konjungsi yang lebih tepat
untuk kalimat di atas adalah so.

CAUSATIVE SENTENCE 14
A PENGERTIAN

Kalimat causative merupakan kalimat yang berfungsi untuk menunjukkan bahwa seseorang me-
nyuruh orang lain untuk melakukan suatu tindakan atau perbuatan. Umumnya kata kerja yang
dipakai sebagai kata kerja causative adalah have dan get yang diartikan ‘menyuruh’ atau ‘me-
minta’, namun beberapa kata seperti: make, let, ask, dan tell juga dapat digunakan.

B MACAM-MACAM CAUSATIVE SENTENCE


Berdasar pada obyeknya, kalimat causative digolongkan menjadi 2 macam, yaitu:

1. Active causative
Dalam kalimat active causative, terdapat sedikit perbedaan antara penggunaan kata kerja
have dan get yaitu berupa ada dan tidaknya ‘to’ setelah obyek. Perhatikan perbedaan pola
penggunaan have dan get di bawah ini:

a. Active Causative have

S + has/have/had + Object Aktif + V1

Contoh:
 My boss has me type all the documents.
 I had my gardener take care or my flowers.

b. Active Causative get

S + get/gets/got + Object Aktif + to +V1

Contoh:
 I will get those children to go.
 The teacher gets the student to do their homework.

131

Pola penggunaan make dan let dalam causative aktif sesuai dengan pola penggunaan
have,sedangkan pola penggunaan ask dan tell sesuai dengan pola penggunaan get.
Contoh:
 The dog made me run fast.
 Dio lets me make his bed everyday.
 She always asks me to do what she wants.
 My uncle told me to work together with him.

2. Passive causative
Kalimat passive causative hanya memiliki satu pola, baik yang menggunakan kata kerja have
maupun get.Pola tersebut adalah sebai berikut:

S + has/have/had/ get/gets/got + Object Pasif + V3 + (by ...)


Contoh:

DERIVATIVES 16
A PENGERTIAN

Derivative (kata jadian) yaitu kata yang jenis katanya berubah karena mendapat imbuhan ter-
tentu yang disebut derivational affix.

B MACAM JENIS KATA


Jenis kata antara lain: Noun (kata benda), verb (kata kerja), Adjective (kata sifat), dan Adverb
(kata keterangan).

C LANGKAH MENGETAHUI JENIS KATA DAN BENTUKNYA


1. Mengetahui jenis kata
Jenis kata dapat diketahui berdasar posisinya terhadap jenis kata lainnya.
a. Jika berada sebelum verb/to be/modal, maka jenis katanya adalah noun.
b. Jika berada setelah verb, maka ada dua kemungkinan:
 Jika verb tersebut membutuhkan obyek, maka jenis katanya adalah noun.
 Jika verb tersebut tidak membutuhkan obyek, maka jenis katanya adalah adverb.
c. Jika berada setelah determiner dan preposisi (selain to), maka jenis katanya adalah
noun.
d. Jika berada setelah preposisi to, modal, dan kata Bantu negative (don’t, didn’t),
maka jenis katanya adalah verb (bentuk pertama).
e. Jika berada setelah tobe dan linking verb, maka jenis katanya adalah adjective.
f. Jika berada setelah Have, has, dan had, maka jenis katanya adalah verb (bentuk ke-3)
atau bisa juga berupa tobe bentuk ke-3, yaitu been.

Catatan:
 Kedudukan noun bisa juga digantikan oleh noun phrase (frase kata benda) dengan
pola bisa berupa adjective + noun, noun + noun (dimana noun pertama berfungsi untuk
menjelaskan noun kedua), atau adverb + adjective + noun.
 V-ing dan V3 bisa berfungsi sebagai adjective.
 Adverb merupakan kata yang sangat fleksibel, maka ia bisa terletak diantara kata bantu
dan kata kerja utama.

147
Untuk mengetahui lebih jelas, perhatikan pola-pola di bawah ini:

1. Noun + Verb/tobe (is,am,are, was, were)/modal


2. Verb
a) transitif + Noun
b) Verb intransitive + Adverb
3. Determiner/preposisi
a) Det/prep + Noun
b) Det/prep + Adjective + Noun
c) Det/prep + Noun + Noun
d) Det/prep + Adverb + adjective + Noun
4. modal/to/don’t/didn’t
a) modal/to/don’t/didnt + V1
b) modal/to/don’t/didnt + Adverb + V1
5. tobe/linking verb
a) tobe/linking verb + adjective/V-ing/V3
b) tobe/linking verb + adverb + adjective/V-ing/V3
6. have/has/had + V3/been

2. Menentukan bentuk kata jadian


a. Noun
Bentuk noun derivatives (kata benda jadian) biasanya diakhiri oleh: –ment, –ance,–
ence, –ion,–tion,–ation, –t, -th, –er,–or, v–al, –ure, –ture, – ature, –y, –ary, –ery,
–age, –ist, –ant, –ent, –ism, –ness, –ty, –ity, –ship, –hood. Contoh: entertainment,
ignorance, evaluation, complaint, conductor, denial, departure, recovery, marriage, tour-
ist, capitalism, darkness, popularity, friendship, brotherhood.

b. Verb
Bentuk verb derivatives (kata kerja jadian) biasanya berupa kata benda atau kata sifat
yang mendapat awalan en–, em- atau mendapat akhiran –en, –ze/–ize, –fy/–ify. Con-

Despite the way it feels, losing weight isn’t a mysterious process. It’s a simple matter of burn-

problem. Weight loss can be such a struggle that we start thinking we have to do something
drastic to see results. Diets, pills or those weird fitness gadgets on infomercials promise instant
success, but the true secret to weight loss is this: Make small changes each and every day and
you’ll slowly (but surely) lose those extra pounds. The key is to forget about instant results and
settle in for the long run.

As far as I am concerned, a washing machine is one of the most life-changing inventions of
modern times. When my machine doesn’t work, there is chaos in the house, the mess keeps pil-
ing up and it increases strain all around. I go crazy! A well run and looked after washing machine
is an asset to a homemaker. So how does one ensure that your machine used right and used
well. An important thing is knowing your machine.
First Read the user manual , issued by the manufacturer, and get to know the buttons, what
functions they perform, the basic do’s and don’ts. Know the kind of detergents, softeners and
other laundry products that best suit your machine and ensure that you use only these for your
washing. It is better to use detergents, which are recommended for lower temperature washes
regularly, but you will need higher temperature washes less regularly depending on specific
fabric needs and garments, which have been very soiled. Higher temperature washes consume
more energy - to heat the water and to run the machine. Know the quantity of laundry products
to be used and at which stage of washing to use them.

Despite the way it feels, losing weight isn’t a mysterious process. It’s a simple matter of
burning more calories than you eat. But, if it were really that simple, none of us would have
a weight problem. Weight loss can be such a struggle that we start thinking we have to do
something drastic to see results. Diets, pills or those weird fitness gadgets on infomercials
promise instant success, but the true secret to weight loss is this: Make small changes each
and every day and you’ll slowly (but surely) lose those extra pounds. The key is to forget
about instant results and settle in for the long run.

There are many variations to the pancake recipe, but I bet you have the ingredients to make
a decent pancake in your kitchen right now. A good basic recipe to start you on your way to
making pancakes from scratch is this one: a cup of flour, a tablespoon of sugar,two teaspoons
of baking powder, little salt, an egg, a cup of milk, and two tablespoons of vegetable oil.
First, Mix the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a bowl. If you have a whisk, use it, and
make sure the ingredients are well mixed. Otherwise you can use a fork. In another bowl,
beat the egg, then add the milk and oil. Mix until it is thoroughly combined then add the wet
ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk them together for about a minute. The mixture
should be a bit lumpy. After that heat a griddle or large cast iron skillet over medium heat until
a drop of water dropped onto the skillet sizzles. Now pour about a third of a cup of batter into
the pan. This isn’t exact. If you want larger pancakes, pour more. For smaller pancakes, pour

As far as I am concerned, a washing machine is one of the most life-changing inventions of
modern times. When my machine doesn’t work, there is chaos in the house, the mess keeps
piling up and it increases strain all around. I go crazy! A well run and looked after washing
machine is an asset to a homemaker. So how does one ensure that your machine used right
and used well. An important thing is knowing your machine.
First, Read the user manual , issued by the manufacturer, and get to know the buttons, what
functions they perform, the basic do’s and don’ts. Know the kind of detergents, softeners and
other laundry products that best suit your machine and ensure that you use only these for
your washing. It is better to use detergents, which are recommended for lower temperature
washes regularly, but you will need higher temperature washes less regularly depending
on specific fabric needs and garments, which have been very soiled. Higher temperature
washes consume more energy - to heat the water and to run the machine. Know the quantity
of laundry products to be used and at which stage of washing to use them.

In the dating world, having too many options may leave you in the lonely hearts club. British
researchers analyzed speed dating to see if singles offered a wide variety of potential dates had
a higher chance of meeting a partner. They didn’t. Researchers found that the more choices
people had in potential dates, the more likely they were to end up on their own, according to the
study published Wednesday in the British journal Biology Letters. Experts analyzed the romantic
decisions made by nearly 4,000 men and women at 84 speed dating events in the U.K., where
single people had three minutes to talk to dozens of potential suitors. They found people faced
with a wide variety of partners - with different interests, jobs and physical traits - were more likely
to choose no one at all.
People were also more likely to find a date if their prospective partners were more alike.
When similar people were involved in events with nearly 50 single men and women attending,
organizers found they received about 123 proposals from the singles, meaning they wanted a
future date with someone they met at the event. But when the speed dating sessions included a
broad range of people, organizers only got about 88 proposals. Alison Lenton, of the University
of Edinborough who led the study, said too much choice might be overwhelming or confusing for
people, and ultimately lead to no dates at all.

Works by Pablo Picasso, one of the most important artists of the modern era, have been tour-
ing the globe while their home in Paris is renovated. They recently arrived at the Virginia Museum
of Fine Arts, which is located in the state capital of Richmond. There are nearly 200 works in the
exhibition, spanning 71 years of Picasso’s lengthy career from 1901 to 1972, the year before his
death. “We have 5,000 works and we present here about 200,” says Anne Baldassari, curator
of the exhibition and director of the Musee National Picasso in Paris, the permanent home of
the Picasso collection. “So it is just a small part that is set in a very didactic way to give the best
understanding of the Picasso creative process.”
The exhibit also offers an understanding of how Picasso wanted to be seen. “This is Picas-
so’s personal collection,” says Alex Nyerges, director of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. “Dur-
ing his lifetime he kept all of the things he loved the best, thousands upon thousands of works of
art. When his estate was being settled, the Musee Picasso was created.” The works represent
every media and every style Picasso worked in. “He was in a perpetual revolution,” says Bal-
dassari. “Painting was the main medium for him. Sculpture was a kind of matrix. He was a very
important photographer and fantastic print maker. He was a real creator.”
An African influence can be seen in Picasso’s works, particularly his sculptures. Nyerges
agrees. “He essentially created what we think of as modern and contemporary art. Everything
that happened in the 20th century and now the 21st century relates back to Picasso in some way,
shape or form.” Picasso took his inspiration not only from European art, but also non-Western
art, which becomes clear in a visit to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts’ African art galleries.

182
“The juxtaposition of those exhibitions and the Picasso show is marvelous,” says Nyerges,
“because you see how Picasso is drawing back into Africa for form and composition and par-
ticularly with sculpture.” The exhibit is a coup for the museum. It is part of a limited national and
international tour of the greatest collection of Picasso in the world. The show gives Picasso’s
admirers a chance to see some of the works the artist himself valued most.
10. Which of the following best descries information in the passages?
A. Pablo Picasso is one of the most important artists of the modern era
B. Picasso’s career lasted from 1901 to 1972

Malaria kills about a million victims a year, mostly children in Africa, and almost half the
world’s population is at risk. The malaria parasite is carried from victim to victim by mosquitoes,
which are increasingly developing resistance to the insecticides used to kill them. As an alterna-
tive to chemicals, University of Maryland professor Raymond St. Leger and his colleagues have
been working on a genetically-engineered fungus to control malaria-carrying mosquitoes. One
possibility they considered was using the fungus to kill the mosquito, the way insecticides do.
“The problem with that is, if the mosquitoes have evolved resistance against chemical insecti-
cides, they could also evolve resistance against the pathogen,” St. Leger explained. “So we did
something different. We took genes which encode anti-malarial, anti-parasite proteins - so we
put those into the fungus.” The result is a fungus that kills the parasite directly. And, the genetic
modification of the fungus could be adjusted to counter resistance in the malaria parasite as it
evolves.
St. Leger says the anti-malaria fungus could be used just like chemical insecticides. “So you
could apply it on cotton sheets hanging inside houses which the mosquitoes would light on - net-
ting, bed netting, on walls, baited traps or as sprays. That’s how it could be applied, just [as] you
would apply a chemical insecticide,” he says. It may be a couple of years before this modified
fungus is approved for use. But it wouldn’t be the first fungus-based product on the market. A
similar modified fungus is already in use against locusts in Africa, Australia and China, and at
a cost comparable to chemical insecticides. And St. Leger says that using genetically-modified
fungi to control disease may be a very promising field, for example, in a disease carried by ticks.
“We can put a gene for an antibody there which will knock out lyme disease. We’re working with
another strain which attacks the parasites in tsetse fly. Dengue virus is also susceptible to a par-
ticular gene we’re working with. So we can actually manipulate and model these pathogens to
produce specific pathogens targeted to different insects.”

The vast majority of Americans live in cities and urban life carries special health risks. Over-
crowding leads to greater stress, which can lead to violence, according to Dr. Jo Boufford, presi-
dent of the New York Academy of Medicine. And the complexity of cities makes them harder to
navigate, which can lead to, or complicate, mental illness. City air is often polluted, and that can
cause respiratory problems. “All of those things play out in an urban environment in ways they
don’t play out outside of cities, and they have an effect on people’s health, on people’s well being
and on daily life,” says Boufford. “But the real thing that runs through higher incidence of disease
is largely poverty. That’s the bottom line.”
The fact that a high proportion of urban residents are poor, poses special challenges for
health professionals, who gathered recently at a National Urban Health Conference in New York.
Health workers, academics and community activists met to share strategies for delivering qual-
ity health care to the urban poor. Many people from the business world also attended the urban
health conference. Employers who buy health insurance for their workers must pay higher pre-
miums when more employees become sick. That cuts into profits. That’s why many employers
offer preventative care. “They provide health education opportunities for their own employees.
Many of them provide opportunities ‘in-house’ for people to stop smoking,” Boufford says. “They
provide programs for people who feel they may be depressed or they have a substance abuse
problem to get help, weight-loss programs, exercise programs, giving people a break in lunch
hour to get out into the community and walk. So the return on investment is pretty clear at this
point.”

Justine Siegal has made history by becoming the first woman to pitch batting practice for a
Major League Baseball team. Despite a case of nerves, the pony-tailed Siegal broke the gender
barrier with spring training pitching stints for the Cleveland Indians and Oakland Athletics.
Justine Siegal has dreamed of playing Major League Baseball since childhood. The 36-year-

game and I wanted to keep playing. When I was about 13, I was told it was time to go over to

187
softball - that is what girls did. But I decided to ignore that first coach and a line of many others,
because I really loved baseball. And I did not see any reason why I should quit,” she said.
Justine continued to play in community baseball leagues and eventually ended up on her
high school squad. But she says it was sometimes a challenge to find coaches who would let her
play. “I did play for my high school, so I had a good experience with my high school, but it was not
always easy. But when you love something you go after it,” she said. Justine Siegal continued
her involvement in the game known as “America’s Pastime.” After high school she played in a
variety of men’s leagues.

countable noun sehingga tidak perlu di tambah artikel a.
5. Kunci Jawaban: A

tic-nya harus mengikuti pola: neither + aux + S atau S + aux + either.

9. Kunci Jawaban: C

Setelah to be, kalimat di atas membutuhkan adjective atau kata sifat. Di antara pilihan jawa-
ban, yang merupakan adjective derivatives adalah different.
10. Kunci Jawaban: A

Untuk melengkapi kalimat di atas dibutuhkan modal yang menyatakan kemampuan di masa
lalu (past abiility) tapi tidak digunakan. Maka jawaban yang tepat adalah could.
11. Kunci Jawaban: B
The books which you bought yesterday are______ those which I got from the library.
Kalimat di atas membandingkan dua hal, sehingga perbandingan yang seharusnya digu-
nakan adalah comparative degree.
12. Kunci Jawaban: D
Attracted by the traditional dance, ___.
Kalimat di atas menggunakan pasif participle. Subyek untuk klausa berikutnya adalah sub-
yek yang ‘tertarik oleh tarian tradisional’, sehingga obyek yang paling mungkin adalah tour-
ist.
13. Kunci Jawaban: A
___ the dangerous slippery route, the boy rode his bike fast.
Although dan despite memiliki arti sama yaitu ‘meskipun’. Tetapi although harus diikuti oleh
klausa yang memiliki unsur subyek dan predikat, sementara despite harus diikuti oleh frase.
The dangerous slippery route merupakan sebuah frase, maka jawaban yang tepat adalah
despite.
14. Kunci Jawaban: A
Same rights, however, ________ by all the citizens.
Kalimat di atas merupakan kalimat pasif (ditandai adanya by). Subyek dari kalimat tersebut
adalah rights yang merupakan bentuk jamak sehingga tobe yang harus digunakan adalah
are. Rumus pasive voice adalah to be + V3. Maka jawaban yang tepat adalah are appreci-
ated.
15. Kunci Jawaban: A
I cannot buy the shoes for you because I don’t have enough money, but I wish I________
Kenyataan dari pernyataan di atas adalah I don’t have enough money (present tense). Maka
subjunctive yang digunakan adalah present subjenctive yang memiliki pola: I wish + S + V2.
Karena fakta negative, maka pengandaian harus positif. Maka jawaban yang tepat adalah
bentuk kedua dari have, yaitu had.

Kunci Written expression
1. Kunci Jawaban: C
Their house was renovate after the earthquake had happened last year.
Kalimat di atas merupakan kalimat pasif. Rumus pasive voice adalah to be + V3. Maka reno-
vate tidak tepat karena seharusnya berbentuk V3 (renovated).

2. Kunci Jawaban: B
Most of her money are used up for her doughter’s wedding party.
Money merupakan uncountable noun sehingga to be yang dipakai adalah is.

3. Kunci Jawaban: A
If he was here, we would not have any difficulties to face our English test.
Kalimat di atas mengikuti pola conditional sentence tipe II: if + simple past , S + simple past
future. Pada conditional sentence, bentuk to be yang dipakai untuk simple past tense hanya
were.

4. Kunci Jawaban: C
Had they been rich, they would be very generous.
Kalimat di atas mengikuti pola susun balik conditional sentence tipe III: had + S + V3 , S +
would + have + V3. Maka be pada kalimat di atas seharusnya have been.

5. Kunci Jawaban: A
Kalimat dalam soal ini merupakan kalimat pasif. Rumus pasive voice adalah to be + V3. Been
merupakan bentuk ketiga dari to be sehingga tidak bisa berdiri sendiri tanpa didahului oleh
to have. Karena klausa setelah before berupa pasrt tense, maka klausa pertama ini seha-
rusnya berupa past perfect. Maka kalimat yang benar seharusnya: The hand-out had never
been revised before the man suggested to renew the material.

6. Kunci Jawaban: B
The man entered station after the train was leaving for about fifteen minutes.
Untuk soal ini berlaku rumus hubungan tenses: simple present + after + perfect tense. Maka
was leaving seharusnya has left.

7. Kunci Jawaban: C
A number of refugees of the disaster is lacking of food and daily needs.
Kata benda yang diawali oleh a number merupakan benda jamak sehingga kata bantu yang
digunakan bukan is melainkan are.

205
8. Kunci Jawaban: A
Although she has already known the consequence that her travel agency has to be closed,
however she
keeps continuing her plan to study abroad.
Although dan however memiliki makna yang sama sehingga apabila dalam suatu kalimat
sudah terdapat however, tidak perlu lagi ditambahkan although.

9. Kunci Jawaban: C
Stanka wishes she could marry Marek and live together in Czech Republic.
Bentuk present subjunctive adalah S + wish + V2, maka live juga seharusnya dalam bentuk
kedua (lived).

10. Kunci Jawaban: A


Because the price of petroleum raises so significant that accomocation fare is very expen-
sive.
So + adjective + that berarti ‘sehingga’. Maka jika jika suatu kalimat sudah memiliki bentuk
tersebut, kalimat tersebut tidak lagi memerlukan because di awal kalimat.

11. Kunci Jawaban: D


In order to compete with other companies, the quality of our product must be improving.
Bentuk yang tepat untuk digunakan setelah modal must adalah bentuk pasif dimana bentuk
pasif setelah modal memiliki pola modal + be + V3.

12. Kunci Jawaban: D


I believe that this market is quite prospective and reliable, and I know you didn’t either.
I believe that this market is quite prospective and reliable merupakan positive sentence,
sementara you didn’t merupakan bentuk yang berlawanan. Maka either tidak dipakai dalam
kalimat ini karena either hanya digunakan apabila kalimat tersebut sama-sama negative.

13. Kunci Jawaban: B


Jenny asked her director if she can have one day off on the following thursday.
Karena reporting sentence menggunakan tenses past tense, kata kerja dalam reported sen-
tense tidak bisa berbentuk V1. Jadi can seharusnya diganti dengan could.

14. Kunci Jawaban: D


We are going to attend the seminar on tourism industry nex week and they do too.
Kata bantu pada kalimat di atas adalah are (to be), maka bentuk elliptic dari kalimat tersebut
juga harus menggunakan to be. Maka bentuk elliptic yang tepat adalah they are too.

15. Kunci Jawaban: C

tive degree. Maka as seharusnya diganti dengan more.

17. Kunci Jawaban: D


Dustin is the youngest child in his kindergarten class but he is the more excelent of all.
The ..... of all menunjukkan bahwa kalimat di atas merupakan perbandingan tingkat paling
atau superlative degree. Maka more seharusnya diganti dengan most.

18. Kunci Jawaban: A


There is an elegant young girl sitting alone in her own small library, reading her book favou-
rite.
Susunan noun phrase her book favourite tidak tepat. Dengan mengikuti kaidah word order,
susunan yang tepat adalah her favourite book dimana noun head dari frase adalah book dan
favourite hanya berfungsi sebagai penjelas book.

19. Kunci Jawaban: C


Modal perfect should have menunjukkan past suggestion (saran lampau) sehingga tidak
tepat digunakan dalam konteks kalimat ini. Perhatikan terjemahan berikut: The cafe singer
looked terrible this morning. She should have not got enough sleep last night (penyanyi kafe
itu tampak buruk. Dia seharusnya tidak cukup tidur tadi malam). Modal yang lebih tepat
adalah yang menyatakan kesimpulan, yaitu must have.

20. Kunci Jawaban: D


The couple have been being together for more than five years and they plan to marriage next
month.
To selalu diikuti kata kerja bentuk pertama. Marriage bukan merupakan kata kerja melainkan
kata benda. Bentuk kata kerja dari marriage adalah marry.

21. Kunci Jawaban: D


One of the tourists who wanted to visit the beach asked why is the tourist object closed.
Kalimat tak langsung yang di awali oleh question word sebagai kata hubung mengikuti pola:
WH-question + S + P. Maka is seharusnya diletakkan setelah obyek sehingga bentuknya
menjadi: why the tourist object is closed.

22. Kunci Jawaban: D


it was only a few days before her second marriage she wrote a note is saying good bye to
her ex-husband.
Pada kalimat di atas note bukan merupakan subyek melainkan obyek. Karena itu, kata note
tersebut tidak perlu memiliki predikat berupa to be + Ving, akan tetapi saying (tanpa is) bisa
digunakan sebagai present participle untuk menjelaskan note.

207
23. Kunci Jawaban: A
The Roberts known as one of the most outstanding family in the town.
Bagian dari kalimat di atas yang tidak tepat adalah known karena konteks kalimat ini adalah
kalimat pasif dan pola kata kerja pada kalimat pasif adalah: to be + V3. Jadi seharusnya ka-
limat yang tepat: The Roberts are known as one of the most outstanding family in the town.

24. Kunci Jawaban: D


Diana had been trapped by the rain for more than five hours until she got someone bring her
an umbrella.
Causative get dengan subyek someone (aktif) memiliki pola: S + get + obyek aktif + to in-
nfinitive. Maka bring seharusnya di awali oleh to.

25. Kunci Jawaban: A


Learnt French intensively with a native speaker, Denny speaks the language as the native
does.
Learnt pada kalimat di atas tidak tepat karena obyek kalimat tersebut adalah Denny (Denny
tidak mungkin dipelajari bahasa prancis, tetapi mempelajari bahasa perancis). Maka kalimat
diatas membutuhkan present participle sehingga bentuk yang tepat adalah leaning.
