Tugas 4 : A SOLUTION FOR TKI PROBLEM

Jakarta – Vice President Jusuf Kalla (JK) said that the cause of many Indonesian workers (TKI) who look for job in other countries is due to the lack of industrial and agricultural sector’s growth in our country. He also added that if the sector is growing, it can create jobs vacancy and absorb a lot of labor in Indonesia.

“Many migrant workers (Labor Women) seeking work abroad because of lack of our agriculture and industry. In fact, 1 hectare (ha) of agriculture can give job for 5 people maximum, while 1 hectare of industry can absorb 100 labor,” he said in Dharmawangsa, South Jakarta, Thursday (29/01/2015).

Therefore, agriculture and industry sector are a very important. In addition to making a lot of jobs vacancy, both these sectors could also stimulate economic growth.

However, to develop these sectors need the availability of infrastructure and sufficient capital. That is what is being built by the government now. “We need Infrastructure and capital to develop both these sectors.” he said. (Amd/Nrm)

In My Opinion :

I agree with the opinion of Vice President Mr. Jusuf Kalla about the cause of migrant workers (TKI) who are looking for job in other countries. The Indonesian industry sector and the agricultural sector to be developed again, in order to open up jobs and created a lot of work so that it doesn't find work aboard. To that end the goverment must quickly build and develop both the sector and it takes the infrastructure and capital is enough.

Tugas 3 : GOLD INVESTMENT

Investment is a business that can be profitable. There are so many kinds of investments such as capital investment, property and precious metals investment. From these types of investment, gold investment is an investment which is the safest because it can avoid risks such as reduced prices, bankruptcy and others. There are several kinds of gold investments which can be done namely bar-gold investment, dinar gold investment and jewelry gold investment. Before you invest in gold, you have to understand the advantages and disadvantages of those gold investments. The following is characteristic of gold investment.

1. Bar-gold investment

Bar-gold is pure gold which is bar-shaped and has some kind of value based on their size such as 10 grams, 2 grams of even 1 kilo gram. Investing in bar-gold has some advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are bar-gold is not taxable, fee print free and the resale value is quite high. However, the drawbacks are bar-gold is difficult to be sold because of its size. If we have 10 grams of gold, we cannot sell it separately for example 5 or 7 grams but we must sell as a whole.

2. Dinar gold investment

Dinar gold is a coin-shaped gold. Investing in dinar gold would be beneficial for us. The advantages are dinar gold dinar could be divided so that we can sell according to our needs, for example if we have 100 dinars, we can sell 10 dinars while the rest can be stored back, and the value is always rise because it follows developments in world gold prices. However, dinar gold also has its drawbacks. The disadvantages are dinar gold is still considered as jewelry in Indonesia so that it will be taxable and the printing costs are also quite expensive.

3. Jewelry gold

Surely you already known jewelry gold such as rings, necklaces and earrings. The advantage of investing in gold jewelry is it can be used as personal purposes. However, investing in gold jewelry also has drawbacks such as the production cost is high, taxable and difficult to trade.
Are you interested to invest in gold? If so choose and understand the type of gold you want to invest. Certainly investing in gold is very beneficial if it is compared with other types of investment.

Materi 10 : PASSIVE VOICE & CAUSATIVE HAVE

Passive Voice

Passive Voice adalah suatu grammatical construction (bentuk gramatikal) dimana subject kalimat tidak melakukan aksi, melainkan menerima aksi atau ditindaklanjuti (receiver of action) oleh agent lain (doer of action) baik disebutkan ataupun tidak.  Sebaliknya, pada konstruksi active, subject berhubungan langsung dengan verb dengan bertindak sebagai pelaku aksi. Kalimat aktif dapat ditransformasi menjadi pasif, namun hanya transitive verb (diikuti direct object) yang dapat diberlakukan demikian.

Rumus Passive Voice

	S + auxiliaries verb + past participle

 

Catatan:

a.       Auxiliary verb dapat berupa primary auxiliary verb be (is, are, am, was, were, be, been, being), kombinasi antara dua primary (is/are being, was/were being, has/have been) atau antara primary dan modal auxiliary verb (will be, will have been).

b.      Past participle yang digunakan berupa kata kerja transitive.

Contoh:

She can’t drive a car. (active voice, transitive), He always come on time. (active voice, intransitive)

c.       Perubahan bentuk dari base form ke past tense dan past participle secara regular atau irregular.

Contoh:

play (base form) —> played (past participle), sing (base form) —> sung (past participle).

Contoh kalimat Passive Voice :

Materi 9 : CONNECTRS

Pengertian

Connectors adalah kata penghubung atau conjunction memiliki 3 jenis yaitu : 

1.      Coordinating Connectors

Adalah kata hubung yang digunakan untuk menghubungkan dua konstruksi gramatikal yang sama yaitu: kata, frasa (phrase), atau klausa (clause). Elemen yang dihubungkan tersebut biasanya bersifat paralel (kedudukannya sejajar) secara struktur gramatikal. Kata hubung ini sering digunakan pada compound sentence untuk menghubungkan dua independent clause.

 

Punctuation (Tanda Baca) pada Coordinate Connectors

Jika coordinate connectors digunakan untuk menghubungkan dua independent clause di dalam suatu compound sentence, maka tanda baca koma (comma) ditempatkan tepat sebelum kata hubung tersebut.

Contoh Punctuation pada Coordinate Connectors:

-          I love running and swimming. (antar verb)

-          Rita and I arrived this morning, and we just left 10 minutes ago. (antar independent clause)

Berikut tabel dari Coordinate Connectors

Coordinate Connectors	Keterangan	Contoh Kalimat
For (karena)	For diikuti reason (alasan)	He didn’t come last night, for he fell asleep.
And (dan)	And menyatakan hubungan penambahan	The trainees laughed and cried simultaneously. Richard and Nando wake up at 5:00 am, and they go to school at 6:30 am.
