Differenciates among simple past, past perfect, and present perfect.

Simple Past

Pattern Subject + tobe (was, were)+.....

       Subject + Verb II

Uses

a. Completed Action in the Past.

It’s used when we want to express an action started and finished at specific time in the past.

Example: 

They celebrated the party last Saturday night.

This sentence means that the situation started at Saturday night and finished at Saturday night too (in the past)

b. A Series of Completed Actions.

It’s used when we want to express more than one action as a completed action in the past.

Example:

I went to the Beach, swam with my friend, and sun bathed for a while.

It expresses that the series of action happened in one day in the past.

c. Duration in Past

It’s used when we want to express a situation within a duration in the past. The action is started and stopped in the past.

Example:

My Parents stayed in a Hotel for five days.

It expresses that the Parents started and stopped the action during five days in the past.

d. Habits in the Past

It’s used when we want to express habit which was done in the past.

Example:

She usually played “Dakon” when she was a child.

It tells us that the habit happened when she was a child and not to be done when she was teenager or adult.

e. Past Fact or Generalization.

It’s used when we want to express a fact which happened in the past , and the fact only took place in the past.

Example:

Nenesh was Vero’s Boyfriend, but now they break up.

It tells us that Nenesh became vero’s boyfriend but now the fact is “Nenesh is not Vero’s boyfriend”.

Past Perfect

a. Subject + had + been + ......

b. Subject + had + V III + .......

Uses

a. Completed Action Before Something in the Past.

It's used when we want to express the idea that something occured before another action in the past.

Example:

She got 1 millions dollars because she had won the contest.

It tells us that "She had won the contest" occured before "She got 1 millions dollars".

b. Duration before something in the past.

It's used when we want to show that something started in the past and continued up until another action in the past.

Example:

She had had a laptop for two years, before it was stolen.

It tells us the duration before something happened in the past.

c. Specific time with past perfect.

Unlike with the present perfect, it is possible to use specific time words or phrases with the past perfect. 

Although this is possible, It's usually not necessary. 

Example:

He had visited his parents once in 2011 before he moved in with them in 2013.

Moreover

If the Past Perfect action did occur at a specific time, the simple past can be used instead of the Past Perfect when "before" or "after" is used in the sentence. The word "before" or "after" actually tell us what happens first,  so the past perfect is optional. 

Examples:

a. He had visited his parents once in 2011 before he moved in with them in 2013.

b. He visited his parents once in 2011 before he moved in with them in 2013.

"Both sentences above are correct" 

However

If the past perfect is not reffering to an action at a specific time, past perfect is not optional.

Example:

She never saw a bear before she moved to alaska. (not correct)

She had never seen a bear before she moved to Alaska. (correct)  

Here past perfect is reffering to a lack of experience rather that an action at a specific time. For this reason, simple past can not be used.

Present Perfect

Pattern : Subject + Have / Has + V II + ....

Uses

a. Unspecific time before now.

It’s used when we want to express something happened at an unspecific time before now. It’s not allowed to use specific time in this case.

Example:

They have traveled to Bali two times.

It happened before now but it doesn’t mention the specific time.

b. Experience

It’s used to express the experiences but it can not be used to describe a specific event.

Example:

She has been to London.

This sentence means that she has had the experience of being in London. May be she has been there once or several times.

c. Change over time.

• It’s used when we want to talk about change that has happened over a period of time.

Example:

My English has  really improved since I studied English in English Department. 

This sentence means that I have had a change in improvement of English because I studied in English Department.

d. Accomplishments.

We often use the present perfect to list accomplishments of individuals and humanity. We can not mention a specific time.

Example:

Doctors have cured the diseases.

e. An uncompleted action we are expecting.

We use the present perfect to say that an action which we expected has not happened, we are still waiting for the action to happen.

Example:

John hasn’t graduated from English Department, but he can communicate english well.

f. Multiple action at different times.

We use present perfect to talk several different actions which have occured in the past at different times.

Example:

White has attacked native america many times.

The process of attacking is not complete and more action are possible.

g. Duration from the past until now.

It’s used when we want to use present perfect to show that something started in the past and has continued up until now.

Example:

She has been in England for six months.

The sentence tells us that she still lives in England until now.

NOTICE:

“Last year” and “in the last year” are very different in meaning. “Last year” means the year before now, and it is considered a spesific time which requires simple past. “in the last year” means from 365 days ago until now. It is not considered a specific time, so it requires present perfect.

Example:

a. I have been to mexico in the last year.

b. I have been to mexico at least once at some point between 365 days ago and now.

Kartu Jakarta Sehat

Governor of Jakarta, Joko Widodo, launched the Jakarta Healthy Card ( Kartu Jakarta Sehat) for 1.7 million citizens in Jakarta. The launching of Kartu Jakarta Sehat is a good program from goverment to citizens in Jakarta.

Firstly,  the card will give benefit for poor citizens to get their right. Many mass media had reported that poor citizens has a little chance to be hospitalized because they do not have enough money to pay the administration. For example, on 19 January 2013, Ruslan, a child without anus from Kampung Melayu, East Jakarta, had been rejected twice in the hospital. This condition is realy ironic. “Poor citizens are not allowed to be sick”, this term symbolize the discrimination in society. By doing the program of Kartu Jakarta Sehat, it will be the next step to help the poor citizens to get their right for getting better life. 

Secondly, this card will help to improve the rate of health in Jakarta. Health level of  Jakarta today is still considered low or far from expectations especially for people who live in slums environment. People who live in slum environment, most of them are poor citizens, they are susceptible to diseases. When they are affected by a disease, they have no reason to not to go for medical treatment because there is a card that help them to cut down the administration. This condition will eventually rise the rate of health in Jakarta.

Finally, based on what we are discussed above, the launching of Kartu Jakarta Sehat is good to help the poor citizens and to improve the rate of health in Jakarta. 

Election of New Governor in Central Java

Central Java will have an election of the governor next 26 May 2013. This election will be participated by 3 candidates. They come from different parties with different mission and vision. The candidate are Bibit Waluyo - Sudijono Sastroatmojo, Ganjar Pranowo - Heru Sdjatmoko, dan Hadi Prabowo - Don Murdono. The Election in this period, it seems that lost interest. There are many reason why the society is not interest to the election. Some of reasons that we will disscuss about are the lack of popularity and the bad socialization.

First, popularity of someone will effect the result of voting. As we know that Indonesia consist of many people with different background of ethnic, so does Java especially in the region of Central Java. That’s why  it’s difficult to accept people who actually we don’t know at all. The popularity of 3 candidates is low in the society based on the result of survey by Media Survei Nasional. The survey is done on 26 March 2013 to 3 April 2013 with 1200 respondents. It shows that the popularity of candidates is still low.

Second, socialization is used as a guidance to those people who vote the candidate. The socialization is not only how to be voted but also how they can introduce themeselve to the all generations both old and young people (people who are ready to vote). Young People, they should get more information regarding to the candidates even they can get it from the Internet or other mass media by themselve but the candidates should take a step to give the socialization  more better to convince the young people. They are new participants who actually do not know at all about the election and just have a little attention to the election. The good socialization will impact the result of votiing.

Finally, the conclusion is that the election will take interest of people based on the reasons above, the popularity and the socialization. They are the common problem that actually the candidates should notice to get the better result.

Analyzing a poem When I Was One and Twenty

“When I was One – and Twenty”

WHEN I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
‘Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies	5
But keep your fancy free.’
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard him say again,	10
‘The heart out of the bosom
Was never given in vain;
’Tis paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue.’
And I am two-and-twenty,	15
And oh, ’tis true, ’tis true.

 (A. E. Housman (1859–1936) )

But, the speaker seems did not notice the advice and at the end he regret with it. 


Analysis:

In the first stanza, it clearly explains us that the speaker was in 21 years old, it is marked on sentence “ when i was one -  and twenty”.

In the second stanza, the speaker tells us that he was warned by a wise man more than once. It is marked on the sentence “ I heard him say again”. A wise man said to him that love or heart is important thing and never give up too freely to everyone. If the speaker do not hear the advices from a wise man, he will regret and feel sorrow. One year older, or when the speaker was in twenty two years old, he realized that the advice from the wise man is true. The word “oh” in the last line refers to regret and sorrow.

Analyzing Poem When You Are Old by William Butler Yeats

When You Are Old

When you are old and grey and full of sleep, 1
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,         2
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look, 3
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep, 4

How many loved your moment of glad grace,         5
And love your beauty with love false or true, 6
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,         7
And love the sorrows of your changing face; 8

And bending down beside the glowing bars, 9
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled,        10
And paced upon the mountains overhead        11
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.        12

( William Butler Yeats)

The poem is one of the experience of the speaker (william butler yeats). This literary work was dedicated to someone whom he loved at that time. He was deeply in love with a girl, Maude Gonne,  and although Gonne did not return his love, she became a closed friend to him. Most of the poems in the collection were written for or about Gonne such as this poem, when you are old.

First, Informative lealflet, basically used for informing tourist about some places of interest. It usually inform how to get to the tourist site, what kind of public transport is avaliable, the entrance fee to the tourist location, and the last but not at least, the public facilities are provided in the location. The language when you want to make informative leaflet is called informative language. That's a little information about informative leaflet and let's discuss the second lealfet, it is persuasive lealflet or we can call it promotion. Basically, it is used to persuade tourists to visit some places of interest. The language that's used has special aim to 'sell' the tourism products.
