TYPES OF SENTENCES

Diposting oleh Stefani Ekky di 17.04 0 komentar
I got this from my teacher. Hopefully can help you  to improve your understanding  about Sentences Based Writting's Subject.

SIMPLE SENTENCE

Definition        : A simple sentence is one independent clause (IC)

Example          :
I enjoy playing tennis with my friends every weekend
I enjoy playing tennis and look forward to it every weekend (compound predicates/verbs)
My friends and I play tennis and go bowling every weekend (compound subject and compound predicates/verbs)

COMPOUND SENTENCES

Definition        : A compound sentences is two or more independent clauses joined together.
                          There are three ways to join the clauses, as follows :


1.      With a coordinator
I enjoy tennis, but I hate golf
2.      With a conjunctive adverb
I enjoy tennis; however, I hate golf
3.      With a semicolon
I enjoy tennis; I hate golf

Let’s study each type of compound sentence in more details JJJ

1.      Compound Sentences with Coordinators

A compound sentence can be formed as follows:

Independent clause, + coordinator + independent clause

Notice that there is a comma after the first independent clause. The following sentences illustrate the meanings of the seven coordinators:

for
Women live longer than men, for they better care of their health.
(The 2nd sentence gives the reason for the 1st sentence)

and
Women follow more healthful diets, and they go to doctors more often.
(The two clauses expresses equal, similar ideas)

nor
Women don’t smoke as much as men do, nor do they drink as much alcohol.
(“Nor” means “and not”. It joins two negative independent clauses. Notice that question word order is used after ”nor”)

but
Men may exercise harder, but they may not exercise as regularly as women do
(The two clauses express equal, contrasting ideas)

or
Both men and women should limit the amount of fat in their diets, or they risk getting heart disease.
(The two clauses express alternative possibilities)

yet
Women used to be known as the “weaker sex”, yet in some ways, they are stronger than men.
(The 2nd sentence clause is a surprising or unexpected contrast to the 1st clause)

so
Men are less cautious than women, so more men die in accidents.
(The 2nd clause is the result of the 1st clause)



2.      Compound Sentences with Conjunctive Adverbs

A compound sentence can also be formed as follows:

Independent clause; + conjunctive adverb, + independent clause

Notice the punctuation: a semicolon follows the first independent clause, and comma follows the conjunctive adverb. Conjunctive adverbs express relationships between the clauses.



The following chart shows the coordinators and conjunctive adverbs that express similar meanings.


COORDINATORS
CONJUNCTIVE ADVERBS
SENTENCE
and
besides
furthermore
moreover
also

Community college offer preparation for many occupations; moreover, they prepare students to transfer to a four year college or university
but
yet

however
nevertheless
nonetheless

Many community colleges do not have dormitories; however, they provide housing referral services
or

otherwise
Students must take final exams; otherwise, they will receive a grade of incomplete

so
accordingly
consequently
hence
therefore
thus

Native and nonnative English speakers have different needs; therefore, most schools provide separate English classes for each group


3.      Compound Sentences with Semicolons

A compound sentence can also be formed with a semicolon alone


Independent clause; independent clause


My older brother studies law; my younger brother studies medicine.

Poland was the first Eastern European country to turn away from communism; others soon followed








COMPLEX SENTENCE

A complex sentence contains one independent clause and one (or more) dependent clause(s). There are three kinds of dependent clause, they are adverb, adjective, and noun.


ADVERB CLAUSE


A dependent adverb clause begins with an adverbial subordinator such as when, while, because, although, if, so that, etc.

1.       Although women in the United States could own property, they could not vote until 1920
2.       In the United States, women could not vote until 1920 although they could own property

Notice that there are two possible positions for an adverb clause: before or after the independent clause. If it comes before the independent clause, it is followed by a comma (sentence 1). If it comes after he independent clause, no comma is used (sentence 2)


ADJECTIVE CLAUSE

 
A dependent adjective (relative) clause begins with a relative pronoun such as who, whom, whose, or, that, or with a relative adverb such as where or when. An adjective clause functions as an adjective, that is, it modifies a noun or pronoun.

3.       Men who are not married are called bachelors.
4.       Last year we vacationed on the Red Sea, which features excellent scuba diving


NOUN CLAUSE

A dependent noun clause functions as a noun and begins with a wh-question word, that, whether, or sometimes if. A dependent noun clause can be either a subject (sentence 5)or an object (sentence 6). No commas are necessary.

5.      That there is a hole in the ozone layer of the earth’s atmosphere is well known.
6.      Scientists believe that excess chlorofluorocarbons in the atmosphere are responsible for creating it.



COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE

A compound-complex sentence is a combination of two more independent clauses and one (or more) dependent clauses. Many combinations are possible, and their punctuation requires careful attention.

Example :

1.      I wanted to travel after I graduated from college; however, I had to go to work immediately.
2.       After I graduated from college, I wanted to travel, but I had to go to work immediately.
3.      I wanted to travel after I graduated from college, but I had to go to work immediately, because I had to support my family.
4.      I couldn’t decide where I should work or what I should do, so I did nothing.


·         Punctuate the compound part of a compound-complex sentence like a compound sentence; that is use a semicolon/comma combination (sentence 1), or put a comma before a coordinator joining two clauses (sentences 2,3, and 4)
·         Punctuate the complex part like a complex sentence. With adverb clauses, put a comma after a dependent adverb clause (sentence 2) but not before them (sentence 3). With noun clauses, use no comma (sentence 4)

WHAT IS LANGUAGE

Diposting oleh Stefani Ekky di 19.26 0 komentar

Language is a system of symbols for thinking and communicating.
Language is a tool we have been using to undersatand and develop our thinking.
We have been:
- Learning about the thinking of others by reading.
- Expressing our own thinking through writting.
- Exchanging ideas wit others by speaking and listening.

Language as a tool
Is a powerful tool: 

To Clarify Thinking
Powered by patterns of thinking. Wit its power to represent your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Symbolically, language is the most important tool your thinking process has.
"I know what i want to say, but i just can't find the right words"

Social Communication
Language is always  used in context. We should use the language style that is appropiate to the social situation.
Informal to formal.
Example:
Describe how you usually greet the following people when you see them:
-a good firend
-a teacher
-a parent
-a waiter
-an employer

Influence People
The intimate relationship between language and thinking makes it natural that people use language to influence the thinking of others.
Two types oh language are often used to promote the uncritical acceptance of viewpoints:
Euphimistic language:
to speak with good words and involves substituting a more pleasent way of saying something instead of a blunt way.
Example:
-a drinking social (alcoholic)
-passed away (dead)
Emotive Language:
Laguage that probably stimulate certain feelings in you.

By developing insight into these language strategies, you will strengthen your abilities to function as a critical thinker.

Kisah Cinta Andrew dan Tessa

Diposting oleh Stefani Ekky di 18.13 0 komentar
[Cerita ini hanyalah cerita Fiksi]

Andrew mempunyai seorang kekasih bernama Tessa. Tessa memiliki penyakit kanker berstadium 4. Mereka telah berpacaran selama kurang lebih 5 tahun. Penyakit tersebut telah disembunyikan oleh Tessa selama 2 tahun. Karena penyakit itu muncul setelah 3 tahun usia hubungan mereka.
Dokter memvonis nya bahwa Tessa hanya mempunyai waktu 24 jam untuk hidup. Yakni pada tanggal 25 Desember.
Andrew sangat mencintai Tessa. Tessa pun juga begitu. Dia tidak tega mengatakan nya pada Andrew.
Suatu ketika pada tanggal 23 Desember, Tessa berkata pada Andrew
" Sayang.. Kau tahu? Aku sangat mencintaimu. Aku ingin menguji mu. Bagaimana jika satu hari saja kita tidak berkomunikasi sama sekali. Bisakah kamu melakukannya? Jika kamu sanggup, aku berjanji akan selalu mencintaimu. Bahkan sampai maut memisahkan kita."

Andrew menyanggupinya. Hal ini dilakukan Tessa, agar Andrew terbiasa hidup tanpanya.
Pada tanggal 24 Desember mereka tidak berkomunikasi sama sekali.
Pada Tanggal 25 Desember Pukul 3 pagi, Tessa pergi ke surga.
Pukul 7 pagi, Andrew pergi ke rumah Tessa untuk memberikan hadiah Natal berupa Liontin yang sangat indah. Tapi, betapa terkejutnya Andrew. Andrew melihat sesosok tubuh yang telah membujur kaku dan kelihatan cantik di dalam peti, sambil memegang sebuah kertas bertuliskan
" Sayang.. Kamu berhasil..! Bisakah kamu melakukannya untuk ku setiap hari? Aku sayang kamu.."
Seketika itu, Andrew berlutut. Menangis dan menyesal.
Namun.... Sudah terlambat.
Sobat, hanya ingin mengingat kan mu...
Jangan pernah lupa untuk berkata I LOVE YOU pada orang-orang yang kita sayangi di setiap kesempatan dan waktu yang ada.
JANGAN sampai kita menyesal.
Remember this Story.
