FOREWORDS
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. I would like to express our deeply
thanks to Allah who has blessed me to finish this text.
This is a text in conversational and situational English for beginner and intermediate
students. It focuses on understanding the language that people use in everyday life
communications by listening practices. It is design for students who have some background in
English, but who also have gaps, lack of variety or other problems in using English to
communicate in everyday life.
This text is written to develop active, aware and independent learners. It is a listeningoriented text, so students need to listen, think about, discuss and practice the Examples, Models,
and Exercises in each target. In doing so, they actively internalize the language related to the
conversations and situations in the book so that they can use them in everyday life.
The text helps to develop aware students who can recognize a particular situation and
what is being called for as a response to the situation. Lastly, the present text is on that students
can learn to use by themselves, independently, outside of class or after class has finished. If we
can help students to become active, aware and independent learners, we are helping them to
become people who can use English to accomplish what they want to in English.
The writer also invites some construction and suggestion, opinions and ideas from those
who are interested in this publication.

UNIT 1
READING COMPREHENSION
Space Exploration -Voyagers 1 and 2
The Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts left Earth in 1977 on a five-year mission. Their mission was to
reach Jupiter and Saturn and send information back to earth about them. Jupiter and Saturn are
the largest planets in the solar system. In 1981, they finished their mission. But, they kept going.
Scientists decided to plan a longer trip for them: they would travel even further until they
reached Uranus and Neptune.
Voyagers 1 and 2 are very efficient. They were built with no moving parts. They use the
breakdown, or the decay, of the space element plutonium to create fuel. They can each get the
equivalent of 30,000 miles per gallon of gasoline! They were made to be able to work in
radioactive environments. The gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are very
radioactive places.
So far, Voyagers 1 and 2 have sent information back to Earth from farther away than any other
spacecraft. Scientists have learned about the atmospheres, interiors, and rings of the gas giant
stars. They have also learned about the moon of these stars. Scientists think that they will keep
getting information from Voyagers 1 and 2 until about 2020. At that time, the power on the
Voyagers 1 and 2 will not be strong enough to send information back to Earth.

GRAMMAR FOCUS
NOUN (Kata benda)
Kata benda adalah kata untuk penamaan suatu benda yang bisa berupa barang, orang. Dalam
bahasa Inggris, kata benda dibagi menjadi 2 bagian, yaitu kata benda yang dapat dihitung atau

Countable Nouns
Kata benda yang bisa dihitung mempunyai bentuk tunggal ( singular) dan bentuk jamak (plural).
Bentuk tunggal ditandai dengan kata sandang a, an. A untuk kata benda yang huruf depannya

book/buku
earaser/penghapus
house/rumah
hour/jam

a book/sebuah buku
an earaser/sebuah penghapus
a house/sebuah rumah.
an hour/satu jam

Bentuk jamak/plural ditandai dengan penambahan huruf s;-es; atau ies. Penambahan bentuk
jamak dengan huruf es, apabila kata bendanya berakhiran dengan huruf-huruf x; s; ch; sh; dan o
yang sebelum huruf o tersebut didahului dengan huruf mati. contoh:
Box----boxes
Bus----buses
Watch----watches

Penambahan bentuk jamak dengan huruf ies apabila kata bendanya berakhiran huruf y sebelum
y huruf mati/konsonan. kemudian huruf y tadi dirubah menjadi i kemudian baru ditambah es,
sehingga menjadi ies. Contoh:

Kata benda yang tidak bisa dihitung biasanya bentuk/wujud dari pada benda cair seperti water,
milk, coffee, tea dll. dan dalam bentuk kristal seperti sugar, sand, rice, dll. beberapa kata benda
bentuk tunggal berupa benda abstrak, seperti beauty, advice, death, fear, dll. Beberapa kata benda
bisa dianggap uncountable sekaligus countable tergantung penggunaannya, sebagai contoh: hair

UNIT 2
READING COMPREHENSION

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

electricity goes through neon, it glows red. Some other members of this group are argon and
xenon. This group is sometimes called Group Zero or Group 0.
The ninth group consists of the poor metals. These metals are different from the metals in the
fourth group because these metals are soft. These metals melt easily. They also mix well with
other metals to form alloys. Both lead and aluminum are poor metals.
The last group consists of the semimetals. The members of this group are like metals in some
ways. They are also like nonmetals in some ways. Some semimetals are arsenic and bismuth.
Depending on which other substances touch them, they can be conductors of electricity or they
can insulate, or rotect, substances from electricity. Some scientists call the semimetals double
metals because of their structure.

3. Possessive adjective
Kata sifat ini digunakan di depan kata benda atau di depan gerund.
.
My pen is on the desk.
I saw her standing there
4. Quantitative Adjective
Kata sifat yang menunjukkan berapa banyak (how much) sesuatu benda yang dimaksudkan.
Kata-kata sifat utama yang termasuk kategori ini meliputi:

much (= a large quantity of) banyak


little (= a small quantity of) sedikit

no (= not any) tak ada sesuatu apapun

some (= a certain quantity of) sejumlah tertentu

any ( = any quiantity of) sejumlah sedikit

enough (= sufficient) cukup

whole seluruh

half setengah

Adjective of quantity selalu diikuti oleh kata benda tunggal, dan kata benda ini harus selalu
merupakan kata benda material atau kata benda abstrak, misalnya much bread, much butter,
much sugar (material), much pain (= a high degree of pain) rasa sakit yang sangat (kata benda
abstrak). Oleh karena itu adjective of quantity disebut juga adjective of degree.
5. Numeral Adjective
Kata sifat yang menunjukkan berapa banyak (how many) benda atau dalam urutan berapa.
Numeral adjective dibagi kedalam dua golongan :
(a) Definite numeral (bilangan tertentu)
Bilangan-bilangan yang menunjukkan berapa banyak benda yang ada yaitu bilangan cardinal
(one, two, three), bilangan ordinal (first, second, third) dan bilangan multi-plicative (one only,
twofold, threefold).
(b) Indefinite numeral (bilangan tak tentu)
Menunjukkan bilangan jenis tertentu tanpa mengatakan secara tepat berapa jumlahnya. Seperti
all, some, enough, no, many, few, several, dan sundry.
Definite numeral dapat dijadikan indefinite dengan meletakkan kata some atau about di
depannya,
Some ten men were absent. Kurang lebih sepuluh orang tidak hadir
6. Demonstrative Adjective
Kata sifat ini membatasi pemakaian kata benda pada orang atau benda itu diharapkan supaya
ditunjukkan oleh kata sifat itu. Kata-kata sifat jenis ini dibagi lagi dalam dua golongan utama:
(a) Definite demonstrative (kata sifat penunjuk tertentu)
Apabila orang atau benda ditunjukkan secara tepat, misalnya this woman, kata sifat itu disebut
definite demostrative.
the
this/these
that/those
yon, yonder

such
the same
self-same
the other
(b) Indefinite demonstrative (kata sifat penunjuk tak tertentu)
Apabila orang atau benda ditunjukkan dalam suatu pengertian umum/tidak secara tepat, kata sifat
itu disebut indefinite demonstrative.
a,an
one
any
a certain
such
some
another/other
any other
Kata sifat the umumnya disebut definite article (kata sandang tertentu) dan a atau an disebut
indefinite article (kata sandang tak tertentu).
7. Distributive Adjective
Membatasi pemakaian kata benda dengan menunjukkan bahwa orang atau benda yang
ditunjukkan oleh kata benda digunakan satu demi satu, atau dalam bagian-bagian yang terpisah.
Kata sifat golongan ini ada empat buah : each, every, either dan neither.
(a) Each
Each berarti salah satu dari dua benda, atau salah satu dari dua bilangan apa saja yang melebihi
dua. contoh:
The two students had each a pen. Dua orang siswa ini masing-masing mempunyai sebuah pena
(b) Every
Every tidak dipakai untuk salah satu dari dua, melainkan untuk bilangan tertentu yang melebihi
dua. contoh:
Every man (out of the fifteen present) had a gun. Tiap orang (dari lima belas orang yang hadir)
mempunyai sebuah senapan.
Catatan :

Every adalah kata yang lebih kuat daripada each dan berarti tiap-tiap tanpa kecualian .

Every five hours berarti setiap jangka waktu lima jam, lima jam diambil secara kolektif
sebagai satu periode/jangka waktu.

Every other berarti setiap yang kedua, setiap dua sekali atau berselang, seperti every
other day (dua hari sekali), every other week (dua minggu sekali).

(c) Either
Ini mempunyai dua arti: salah satu dari dua, atau setiap dari dua, yaitu keduanya. contoh:

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

(d) Neither
Ini adalah bentuk negatif dari either dan berarti yang satu tidak, yang lain juga tidak (keduaduanya tidak). contoh:

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

Dua Cara Pemakaian Kata Sifat


1) Attributive use (pemakaian atributif)
Suatu kata sifat dipakai secara atributif, apabila kata sifat digunakan di depan kata benda yang
diterangkan:

A noble deed
A lame cat

Semua kata sifat asli dapat dipakai secara atributif, kecuali glad lazimnya hanya dipakai secara
predikatif, misalnya I am glad to meet you.
Participle atau verbal adjective dapat dipakai sebagai kata sifat, contoh :

A retired president. Seorang presiden purnawirawan


Retired pay. Uang pensiun

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

The then King.

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

A bathing place.
A swimming pool

2) Predicative use (pemakaian predikatif)


Suatu kata sifat dipakai secara predikatif, apabila kata sifat digunakan setelah predikat
suatu kalimat.
Her character is noble.
That cat went lame.
ADVERBS
Adverb (kata keterangan) adalah kata yang dipakai untuk menerangkan bagian dari tata bahasa
yang mana saja kecuali kata benda dan kata ganti. Berikut beberapa fungsi adverb.
Adverb menerangkan kata kerja
She speaks English fluently. Ia berbicara bahasa Inggris dengan fasih
Adverb menerangkan kata sifat
Its now too hot to play tennis. Sekarang udara terlalu panas untuk bermain tenis
Adverb menerangkan kata adverb lainnya
She sings very well. Ia menyanyi dengan baik sekali
Adverb menerangkan preposisi
The cat was sitting almost outside the door. Kucing itu sedang duduk hampir di luar
pintu.
Adverb menerangkan kata sambung
I want to know precisely how the accident happened. Saya ingin mengetahui secara pasti
bagaimana kecelakaan itu terjadi
Adverb dapat menerangkan bukan saja kata-kata yang terpisah tetapi juga sebuah kalimat asertif
(yaitu kalimat yang hanya menegaskan atau menyangkal sesuatu). Dalam hal ini adverb harus
ditempatkan di posisi awal kalimat
Evidently your success depends chiefly on yourself.

Unfortunately, we dont know much English.

Jenis adverb
Adverb of time (kata keterangan waktu)

I did this before, and he has done it since. Saya melakukan hal ini dulu, dan ia
telah melakukannya sejak waktu itu

Beberapa contoh tipe ini adalah: now, then (pada waktu itu), since (sejak waktu itu), before (lebih
dahulu), ago (dulu, dahulu),already (sudah), soon (segera), immediately (segera, dengan segera),
instantly (dengan segera), presently (segera, sekarang), late (terlambat),lately (akhir-akhir ini),

READING COMPREHENSION
Biofuels and the Environment
Leading investors have joined the growing chorus of concern about governments and companies
rushing into producing biofuels as a solution for global warming, saying that many involved in
the sector could be jeopardizing future profits if they do not consider the long-term impact of
what they are doing carefully.
It is essential to build sustainability criteria into the supply chain of any green fuel project in
order to ensure that there is no adverse effect on the surrounding environment and social
structures. The report produced by the investors expresses concern that many companies may not
be fully aware of the potential pitfalls in the biofuel sector.
Production of corn and soya beans has increased dramatically in the last years as an eco-friendly
alternative to fossil fuels but environmental and human rights campaigners are worried that this
will lead to destruction of rain forests. Food prices could also go up as there is increased
competition for crops as both foodstuffs and sources of fuel. Last week, the UN warned that
biofuels could have dangerous side effects and said that steps need to be taken to make sure that
land converted to grow biofuels does not damage the environment or cause civil unrest. There is
already great concern about palm oil, which is used in many foods in addition to being an
important biofuel, as rain forests are being cleared in some countries and people driven from
their homes to create palm oil plantations.
An analyst and author of the investors' report says that biofuels are not a cure for climate change
but they can play their part as long as governments and companies manage the social and
environmental impacts thoroughly. There should also be greater measure taken to increase
efficiency and to reduce demand.
(source :www.englishforeveryone.org.)

GRAMMAR FOCUS
INFINITIVE
Infinitive adalah verbal berbentuk kata kerja dasar yang umumnya ditambah to di depannya,
misalnya to eat, to say, to run, to work, to study. Seperti halnya dengan gerund, infinitive pun
dapat berfungsi sebagai kata benda (noun). Dengan fungsinya sebagai kata benda, maka
infinitive to dapat juga sebagai subjek dari suatu kalimat. Bedanya, penggunaan infinitive lebih
luas daripada gerund yang hanya berfungsi sebagai kata benda. Infinitive mempunyai tiga fungsi,
yaitu sebagai kata benda (noun), kata sifat (adjective), dan kata keterangan (adverb).
Infinitive sebagai subjek sebuah kalimat
- To eat is a necessity ( makan adalah suatu kebutuhan )
- To understand French is not easy.
- To dry a sea is nonsense.
Infinitive sebagai objek sebuah kalimat
- It is time to go.
- I like to eat.

Berikut adalah kata kerja yang diikuti oleh to infinitive:


afford, agree, appear, arrange, ask, attempt, beg, care, claim, consent, decide, demand, desire,
dare, expect, forget, hesitate,hope, intend, learn, manage, mean, need, offer, plan, prepare,
pretend, promise, refuse, regret, seem, struggle, strive, swear, threaten, tend, try, wait, invite,
teach, allow, encourage, tell, order, urge, forbid, permit, want, cause, force, persuade, warn,
remind, challenge, convince, require.
Infinitive sebagai kata sifat (adjective)
- I have the money just to pay this ticket.
- My mother always has money to spend
Infinitive sebagai kata keterangan (adverb)
- I come to meet you.
- We read to get new information.
Infinitives juga bisa dikombinasikan dengan be dan have sebagai kata kerja bantu (auxiliaries)
untuk membentuk konstruksi waktu.
Perhatikan bentuk infinitives berikut ini:
Continuous --> to be sitting
- Its nice to be sitting there.
Perfect --> to have seen
- He is glad to have seen you.
Perfect continuous --> to have been sitting
- Id like to have been sitting there when she walked in
Bentuk infinitives (passive):
Simple --> to be watered
The tomato field needs to be watered.
Perfect --> to have been written
- It ought to have been done when it was being moved.
Catatan
Setelah modal auxiliary verbs, infinitive yang digunakan adalah infinitive tanpa to. Modal

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

GERUND
Gerund adalah kara kerja (verb) yang ditambah ing (verb + ing) dan berfungsi sebagai kata
benda (noun). Dengan kata lain gerund adalah kata kerja yang dibendakan/diubah menjadi kata
benda dengan menambahkan ing. Dalam kalimat bahasa Inggris, gerunds mempunyai beberapa
fungsi, yaitu:
Gerunds sebagai subject
Listening music is my hobby.
Sky diving is better than running.
Gerunds sebagai object
I like writing.
She goes running every morning.
Kata kerja berikut memerlukan gerund sebagai object:
Admit, Advise, Allow, Anticipate, Appreciate , Avoid, Begin, Cease, Complete, Consider,
continue, Defend, Delay, Deny, Despise, Discuss, Dread, Encourage, Enjoy, Finish, Forget,
Hate, Imagine, Involve, Keep, Like, Love, Mention, Miss, Neglect, Permit, Postpone, Practice,
Prefer, Propose, Quit, Recall, Recollect, Recommend, Regret, Remember, Report, Require,
Resent, Resist, Risk, Start, Stop, Suggest, Tolerate, Try, Understand, Urge.
Gerunds sebagai pelengkap subjek
Biasanya selalu didahului to be yang terletak di antara subject dan pelengkap subjek:
Her favorite sport is running.
Gerunds sebagai object preposisi
Biasanya gerund ini bentuk ini terletak setelah preposisi, misalnya; for, before, without, in, at,
after.
I will wash the dresses after eating.
You cannot be rich man without working hard.
Gerunds untuk larangan
No Smoking area!

No parking here!

Gerunds setelah possessive adjective


Thanks for your joining my party.
Gerunds sebagai appositive/penegas
His method, shooting and killing, eventually came to an end.
She has a bad habit, gambling.
Her favorite exercise, swimming in the pool, makes her body strong.
That difficult work, sawing hard woo, makes him exhausted
PASSIVE VOICE
Passive voice merupakan suatu bentuk gramatikal dimana subject menerima aksi / ditindaklanjuti
oleh agent lain. Rumus umum dari konstruksi ini yaitu: S + auxiliary verb + past participle.
Perubahan yang terjadi pada bentuk ini hanya pada aux. verbnya saja, sedangkan past
participlenya tidak berubah.
Auxiliary untuk membentuk konstruksi pasif pada tenses dapat berupa auxiliary be (is, are, was,
were), kombinasi antara dua primary auxiliary (is/are being, was/were being, has/have been),
atau antara primary auxiliary dengan modal verb (will be, will have been). Auxialiary tersebut
kemudian dipadukan dengan past participle untuk membentuk passive verb form. Adapun rumus
dan contoh passive voice pada beberapa macam tenses dapat dilihat pada tabel sebagai berikut.

maupun modifier pada suatu kalimat. Rumus dan contoh bentuk pasif pada infinitive adalah
sebagai berikut.

To be accompanied with him is a bad idea. (Subject)
Everyone needs to be loved. (Object)

He is the man to be trusted for all the things. (Modifier)

Contoh:

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

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

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

Present Participle sebagai Verbal


Sebagai verbal, participle berfungsi sebagai adjective. Sebagai kata sifat, verbal ini berfungsi
memodifikasi/menjelaskan noun. Ada pula bentuk verb+ing yang lain yang berfungsi
sebagai noun, yaitu gerund. Walaupun sama-sama berbentuk verb+ing, namun penggunaan
keduanya sangat berbeda. Penggunaan present participle sebagai adjective dapat dilihat pada
noun phrase dan reduced adjective clause pada active voice.

The singing birds.

Interesting story.

Dengan demikian singing dan interesting di atas merupakan present participle yang berfungsi
menjelaskan bird dan story.
Pada reduksi adjective clause, relative pronoun dan verb to be (jika ada) dihapus serta
ditambahkan -ing pada active verb (jika berbentuk present atau past, bukan progress-sive),
sehingga membentuk present participle (phrase).
Contoh Present Participle pada Reduced Adjective Clause

READING COMPREHENSION

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

UNIT 5
READING COMPREHENSION
Pollution
Thick black smoke curling out of smokestacks, horribletasting chemicals in your drinking
water, pesticides in your food these are examples of pollution. Pollution is any contamination
of the environment which causes harm to the environment or the inhabitants of the environment.
There are many kinds of pollution, and there are many pollutants. Some obvious kinds of
pollution are pollution of the air, soil, and water. Some less obvious, or less salient, kinds of
pollution are radioactive, noise, light pollution, and green-house gasses.
Air pollution can be caused by particles, liquids, or gases that make the air harmful to breathe.
There are two main types of air pollution: primary and secondary. Primary pollutants enter the air
directly, like smoke from factories and car exhaust. Secondary pollutants are chemicals that mix
together to pollute the air, like mixtures of emissions, or waste output, from vehicles and factory
smoke that change to form more dangerous pollutants in the air and sunlight.

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

konstruksi gramatikal yang sama yaitu: kata, phrase (frasa), atau clause (klausa). Elemen yang
dihubungkan tersebut biasanya bersifat paralel (kedudukannya sejajar) secara struktur
gramatikal. Kata hubung ini sering digunakan pada compound sentence (mengubungkan
dua independent clause). Jika coordinate conjunction digunakan untuk menghubungkan dua
independent clause di dalam suatu compound sentence, maka tanda baca koma ditempatkan tepat
sebelum kata hubung tersebut. contoh:

I love running and swimming. (antar verb)


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

Subordinate Conjunction
Subordinate conjunction adalah kata hubung yang mengawali suatu dependent atau subordinate
clause (adverbial clause) dengan tujuan untuk membangun hubungan ide antara dependent
clause dengan main clause. Adapun gabungan antara dependent dan main clause menghasilkan complex sentence. Subordinate conjunction digunakan pada subordinate clause, yaitu bagian
yang idenya kurang penting dibanding pada main clause. Conjunction ini memiliki antara lain
hubungan waktu (time), tempat (place), pertentangan (contrast), sebab akibat (cause-effect),
syarat (condition), tujuan (reason), dan cara (manner). Contoh kalimat dengan subordinate
conjunction dengan hubungan waktu, tempat, dan pertentangan adalah sebagai berikut:

UNIT 6
READING COMPREHENSION
Houses around the World
Do you live in a house? You might be surprised to learn that there are many kinds of houses.
Most people in the United States are used to houses made of wood or bricks. But many people
around the world live in houses made of grass, dirt, or cloth.
In the Great Rift Valley of Eritrea, the nomadic people who are in the Atr tribe build their houses
of straw. Their houses are shaped like domes half spheres. The homes are small and cool. The
people can move their houses when they want to move. Since the people are nomads, they move
often. They take their animals to new places in order to find food.
People who belong to the Uros tribe of Lake Titicaca, Peru build their houses of reeds. Not only
that they also live on islands that are made of reeds! Their boats are made of reeds too! About
2,000 people live on these manmade islands. They started to build their own islands about 500
years ago.
In Andalusia, in the south of Spain, some people live in underground houses. This kind of house
is called a cueba. During the winter, the houses stay warm. During the summer, the houses stay
cool.
In Sanaa, Yemen, some people live in tall houses made of bricks. These bricks are made of clay,
straw, and soil. The bricks last many years maybe as long as 500 years. The modern houses in
Sanaa are made to look like the older, traditional houses, but they are made of concrete instead
of bricks.

In Mindanao in the Philippines, some people still live in tree houses. The tree houses are made of
bamboo with grass roofs. The houses are good lookouts for snakes and wild animals. The air is
cool and the houses stay dry. Now, most people use these tree houses as meeting places.
The fishermen of Sabah, Malaysia build their houses on the water. They use wood from
mangrove trees. This wood stays strong in the water. The houses receive official addresses from
the government.
Fujian, China has many townhouses that are made of hardpacked soil. The dirt becomes as
strong as brick when it is packed hard. One large family group lives in a townhouse. The
townhouses were built around 300 years ago. A group of townhouses is protected by a thick dirt
packed wall.
In the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, some nomadic people live in homes called gels. These homes
are made of cloth. The cloth is filled with animal hair. Two poles in the center of the house hold
the house up. The people move often to find food for their animals. The houses are easy to move
and set up.
Some American Indians live in teepees. These homes are made of cloth or buffalo hide. There are
wooden poles used to hold the teepee up. Now some people use teepees only for special
ceremonies, but people used to live in them all the time.
The traditional houses of Chitos, Greece, are made of stone. They have arched doorways and
indoor courtyards. They have outdoor dining rooms which are decorated with tile and rock. This
means they are ornamented, and made to look more beautiful.
The Dayak people of Indonesia build some of their houses on stilts, several feet above the
ground. The frame of the house is made of iron. The walls are made of tree bark. The floors are
made of wooden planks which are placed side by side. The houses are decorated with pictures of
water snakes and rhinoceros birds. These animals are part of the peoples story of creation, or
how the world was made.
People build their houses to fit the needs of their lives. The houses are different, but one thing is
the same wherever you go. Theres no place like home!

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

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

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

I was to take the east path and John, the west.

Pele was the greatest footballer ever, and remains the greatest footballer ever.
setelah abridgment menjadi:

Pele was, and remains, the greatest footballer ever.

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

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

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


ide/gagasan utama dalam kalimat tersebut terwakili oleh kata-kata yang ada, contoh:
It seems like a good idea to me.

setelah abridgment menjadi:

Seems like a good idea.

Do you fancy a pint? setelah abridgment menjadi:

Fancy a pint?

What would happen if we repeat the experiment using only half the quantity of sulphur?
setelah disingkat akan menjadi:

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