BAB II PREFIX, SUFFIX AND SCIENCE ARTICLES
4. UMUM.
Pada bab II ini terdiri dari beberapa materi yang meliputi Prefix and Suffix
serta reading text about simple machine, vocabularies and answer questions.
5. PREFIX AND SUFFIX
a. Prefix
A common way of making new words in English is by adding standard
combinations of letters to existing words, either at the beginning (prefixes) or at
the end (suffixes). By noting these carefully, you will find it easy to increase
your vocabulary.
A prefix is a syllable, 2 syllables, or sometimes even a word, put at the
beginning of a word to change its meaning or to make another word. Prefixes
are often used to give an adjective, a verb or a noun a negative meaning, but
there are also lots of other prefixes with specific meanings.
Prefixes with the meaning not
The most common prefixes used to give a negative meaning to
adjectives, and some verbs and nouns, are as follows:
prefix use positive negative un- used with many different words lucky
friendly employed
unlucky unfriendly unemployed im- used before words beginning with m or
p possible matur
impossible immature
il- used before some words beginning with l
literate legibl
illiterate illegible
ir- used before some words beginning with r
regular responsible
irregular irresponsible in- used before a limited number of words corre
ct visibl
incorrect invisible
dis- used before some adjectives and a few verbs
honest like
dishonest dislike
Unfortunately, there is no easy way of knowing which prefix any adjective will
use to form its negative. So when you learn a new adjective, note down
whether it has an opposite formed with a prefix and, if so, what it is.
The prefix in-. This does not always have a negative meaning – often it
gives the idea of inside or into,e.g. internal, insert, income.
Verb prefixes: un- and dis-. These prefixes have two meanings. They can
have a negative meaning ( as above), but they can also mean 'the opposite of an
4
action' or 'to reverse an action'. This meaning is used with certain verbs, e.g. to
lock – to unlock, to pack - to unpack, to appear – to disappear, to get dressed – to
get undressed.
Other prefixes with specific meanings.
Many other prefixes are used in English. Below is a list of prefixes
which are useful in helping you to understand unfamiliar words. Some of
these words are used with a hyphen. Check in a dictionary if you are not
sure.
Prefix Meaning or Function

b. Suffix
A suffix is a syllable or syllables put at the end of a word to change its word-class and / or its meaning. Suffixes can briefly be divided into
noun suffixes complication
adjective suffixes flexible verb suffixes minimize
Noun suffixes
Verb + suffix. Many nouns are formed by adding a suffix to a verb. The
most common suffixes of this type are as follows:
Verb
Suffix Noun enlarge -
ment enlargement
elect -(t)ion
election inform -
atioinformation
write -ing
writing dance, manage -er dancer, manager direct -or director
* Note: sometimes there is a spelling change. The most common is the
omission of the final e before the suffix - ion or – ation: translate / translation.
Noun + suffix. -ist is a common suffix added to existing nouns to
describe people and their jobs : ecologist, journalist, artist.
Adjective + suffix. Nouns are also formed by adding a suffix to an adjective. Two suffixes often added to adjectives to form nouns are -ness and -ity.
adjective suffix noun rich -
ness richness
stupid -ity
stupidity Adjective suffixes
Noun or verb + suffix. Adjectives can be formed from nouns or verbs by adding these suffixes:
Suffixes can change word class, e.g . from verb to noun, or noun to adjective, but they can also change meaning. The suffixes - able and –ible quite often have the meaning of can be done, e.g. something that is comprehensible can be comprehended. Words ending in –ible often add the prefix in- for their negative forms:
incomprehensible. The suffix –ful often means 'full of': colorful = full of colors.
6
The suffix – less means 'without': odorless = without odor
Here is a list of common suffixes in alphabetical order, their meaning or function and some examples.

Power Station Types
A power plant or a power generating station, is basically an industrial
location that is utilized for the generation and distribution of electric power in
mass scale, usually in the order of several 1000 Watts. These are generally
located at the sub-urban regions or several kilometers away from the cities or the
load centers, because of its requisites like huge land and water demand, along
with several operating constraints like the waste disposal etc. For this reason, a
power generating station has to not only take care of efficient generation but also
the fact that the power is transmitted efficiently over the entire distance and
that‘s why, the transformer switch yard to regulate transmission voltage also
becomes an integral part of the power plant. At the center of it, however, nearly
all power generating stations has an AC generator or an alternator, which is
basically a rotating machine that is equipped to convert energy from the
mechanical domain (rotating turbine) into electrical domain by creating relative
motion between a magnetic field and the conductors. The energy source
harnessed to turn the generator shaft varies widely and is chiefly dependent on
the type of fuel used.
A power plant can be of several types depending mainly on the type of fuel
used. Since for the purpose of bulk power generation, only thermal, nuclear
and hydro power comes handy, therefore a power generating station can be
broadly classified in the 3 above mentioned types. Let us have a look in
these types of power stations in details.
a. Thermal Power Station
A thermal power station or a coal fired thermal power plant is by far, the most
conventional method of generating electric power with reasonably high efficiency.
It uses coal as the primary fuel to boil the water available to superheated
steam for driving the steam turbine. The steam turbine is then mechanically
coupled to an alternator rotor, the rotation of which results in the generation of
electric power. Generally, in India, bituminous coal or brown coal are used as
fuel of boiler which has volatile content ranging from 8 to 33% and ash content 5
9
to 16 %. To enhance the thermal efficiency of the plant, the coal is used in
the boiler in its pulverized form.
Advantages of Thermal Power Plants
Fuel used i.e coal is quite cheaper.
Initial cost is less as compared to other generating stations.
It requires less space as compared to hydro-electric power stations.
Disadvantages of Thermal Power Plants
It pollutes atmosphere due to production of smoke & fumes.
Running cost of the power plant is more than hydroelectric plant.
b. Nuclear Power Station
The nuclear power generating stations are similar to the thermal stations
in more ways than one. However, the exception here is that radioactive elements
like uranium and thorium are used as the primary fuel in place of coal. Also, in a
Nuclear station the furnace and the boiler are replaced by the nuclear
reactor and the heat exchanger tubes.
For the process of nuclear power generation, the radioactive fuels are made
to undergo fission reaction within the nuclear reactors. The fission reaction
propagates like a controlled chain reaction and is accompanied by unprecedented
amount of energy produced, which is manifested in the form of heat. This heat is
then transferred to the water present in the heat exchanger tubes. As a result,
super-heated steam at very high temperature is produced. Once the process of
steam formation is accomplished, the remaining process is exactly similar to a
thermal power plant, as this steam will further drive the turbine blades to
generate electricity.
c. Hydro-Electric Power Station
In Hydro-electric plants the energy of the falling water is utilized to drive the
turbine which in turn runs the generator to produce electricity. Rain falling upon
the earth‘s surface has potential energy relative to the oceans towards which it
flows. This energy is converted to shaft work where the water falls through an
appreciable vertical distance.
This power is utilized for rotating the alternator shaft, to convert it to
equivalent electrical energy. An important point to be noted is that the hydro-
electric plants are of much lower capacity compared to their thermal or nuclear
counterpart. For this reason, hydro plants are generally used in scheduling with
thermal stations, to serve the load during peak hours. They in a way assist the
thermal or the nuclear plant to deliver power efficiently during periods of peak
hours.
Advantages of Hydro Electric Power Station
10
It requires no fuel, water is used for generation of electrical energy.
It is neat and clean energy generation.
Construction is simple, less maintenance is required.
It helps in irrigation and flood control also.
Disadvantages Hydro Electric Power Station
It involves high capital cost due to dam construction.
Availability of water depends upon weather conditions.
It requires high transmission cost as the plant is located in hilly areas.
So it can be concluded that there are 3 types of power station type that is
thermal power station, nuclear power station, and hydro-elecric power station
and from each type of power station has its own deficiencies and advantages.
Answer these questions below.
1. What is classified of power station type?
2. What is thermal power station?
3. What is Nuclear power station?
4. What is Adventages dan Disadventages of hydro-electric power station?
5. What is there to know about power station?

BAB III ACRONIM AND ABBREVIATION
7. UMUM. Pada bab III ini terdiri dari beberapa materi yang meliputi Acronim,
Abbreviation, and word formation.
8. ACRONIM AND ABBREVIATION
Abbreviations and acronyms are shortened forms of words or phrases. An abbreviation is typically a shortened form of words used to represent the whole (such as Dr. or Prof.) while an acronym contains a set of initial letters from a phrase that usually form another word (such as radar or scuba).
ABBREVIATION
In scientific writing, there are several abbreviations in use which originate from Latin or Greek. In general, it is not a good idea to use too many of these within the body of your writing, but they can be used occasionally when needed, and they are often necessary in your references and bibliography.
Let's take a closer look at abbreviations. As we know, an abbreviation is a shortened form of a word or phrase, such as Mr. for Mister, or hr. for hour that is still said as the full word or words.
There are millions of common abbreviations used every day. Let's take a look at some of the popular ones we see and/or use almost daily.
When you write your address, you likely write "St." or "Ave." instead of "Street" or "Avenue".
When you record the date, you likely abbreviate both the days of the week (Mon., Tues., Wed., Thurs., Fri., Sat., and Sun.) and the months of the year (Jan., Feb., Aug., Sept., Oct., Nov., Dec.).
Often, we use the abbreviation "Ex." for the word "example".
Measurements are commonly reduced to abbreviations such as "cm" for "centimeters" or "in." for "inch".
How about "vs."? That's another popular abbreviation, shortened from the word "versus".
12
Tightening "December" to "Dec." is an abbreviation because "Dec." is simply a written shorthand for the full word. It's not an acronym since "Dec." isn't said as a word.
You may have wondered why some abbreviations, like those for ounce (oz) and pound (lb.) use letters that aren't part of the original word. In these cases, the abbreviations are based on older forms of the word.
Below is a selection of common abbreviations and their English equivalents.

ACRONYM
An acronym, technically, must spell out another word. This is a good point of reference to help you distinguish between abbreviations and acronyms. Another good way to differentiate them is that acronyms don't just shorten words, they often simplify a long organization name, scientific term or idea.
Some acronyms create new words that are so commonly used, we forget they're actually a series of letters from a longer word or phrase. For example, when we go scuba diving, we rarely consider the fact that scuba is an acronym of self-contained underwater breathing apparatus.
Then there are initialisms which cause some confusion. Would you consider "VIP" to be an acronym? Technically, it's an initialism. Initialisms are a series of initial letters of words or a phrase that form an abbreviation but aren't pronounced as a word. We enunciate each letter.
NBA is another initialism. How about when you text "rofl"? That's another initialism, as is "BLT". Many consider initialisms to be a subset of acronyms-therefore whether you pronounce ASAP as a word or enunciate each letter, it's still an acronym-but be aware that others say it is another form of abbreviation.
Like abbreviations, acronyms and initialisms are used daily and most people can interpret the meaning of common acronyms without much thought.
Let's test our knowledge with a few more examples:
Acronyms (form new words) Initialisms (pronounce each letter)
radar (radio detection and ranging) ATM (automated teller machine)
scuba (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus)
NFL (National Football League)
NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration)
FAQ (frequently asked questions)
laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation)
brb (be right back)
POTUS (President of the United States) idk (I don't know) gif (graphics interchange format) a/c (air conditioning) SIM card (subscriber identification module) aka (also known as) ZIP code (zone improvement plan) fyi (for your information) AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) lcd (liquid crystal display) taser (Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle) ufo (unidentified flying object)
KEEP IN SHORT:
1. Abbreviations and acronyms are shortened versions of words and phrases
that help speed up our communication. Initialisms act in the same way.
2. Before you use any type of abbreviation consider your audience; are you
writing something formal or informal? Will everyone understand the
meaning of your abbreviated word or letters?
3. If so, feel free to shorten up those lengthier words with recognizable
abbreviations, acronyms, and even initialisms.
14
4. If you need to explain the abbreviation, write out the word or phrase in full
first followed by the abbreviation in parentheses.
9. PRACTICING Let us checkup your understanding by doing these exercises below. Try to guest
what is the meaning of these acronyms or abbreviations.

doing just what its name suggests -- listing possible topics and then sub lists of
things you could say about each topic.
2) How to Use Listing
"Listing is probably the simplest prewriting strategy and is usually the first
method writers use to generate ideas. Listing means exactly what the name
implies—listing your ideas and experiences. First set a time limit for this activity;
5-10 minutes is more than enough. Then write down as many ideas as you can
without stopping to analyze any of them.
"After you have generated your list of topics, review the list and pick one item
that you might like to write about. Now you are ready for the next listing; this
time, create a topic-specific list in which you write down as many ideas as you
can about the one topic you have selected. This list will help you look for a focus
for your paragraph. Do not stop to analyze any of the ideas. Your goal is to free
your mind, so don't worry if you feel you're rambling."(Luis Nazario, Deborah
Borchers, and William Lewis, Bridges to Better Writing. Wadsworth, 2010).
One of the broad topics example that emerged in freewriting and brainstorming
sessions was 'The Benefits and Challenges of Being a College Student.' This
simple stimulus generated the following list:
Benefits
independence
living away from home
freedom to come and go
learning responsibility
new friends
Challenges
financial and social responsibilities
paying bills
managing time
making new friends
practicing good study habits
19
The items in this preliminary list overlap considerably. Nonetheless, such a list
can offer students concrete ideas for narrowing a broad topic to a manageable
scope and for selecting a meaningful direction for their writing." (Dana Ferris and
John Hedgcock, Teaching ESL Composition: Purpose, Process, and Practice, 2nd
ed.Lawrence Erlbaum, 2005)
3) Check points
1) Find a topic about the most useful technology in the Covid 19 Pandemic Era.
2) Listing the topic in to sub details.
13. TIME AND DURATION A variety of different styles may be acceptable for formal invitations. The following style should be used in text for print and electronic communications. Use numbers for times, except for noon and midnight, use a colon to separate hours and minutes and do not use ciphers (double zeros) with whole hours.
Examples The meeting will be held from 8 to 11:45 a.m.
Sessions begin at noon, 2:30 and 4 p.m.
The workshop runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Rules Lowercase a.m. and p.m. and always use periods.
Lowercase noon and midnight.
Do not use 12 noon or 12 midnight (redundant). Use noon or midnight.
Do not use 12 p.m. or 12 a.m. Use noon or midnight.
Do not use 8 a.m. in the morning (redundant) Use 8 a.m.
Do not use o‘clock with a.m. or p.m. Do not use dashes.
Do not use dashes in place of "to" or "through" or "and" or "until" with
times of day or days of the week.
Use: The meetings are 8 to 11 a.m., Monday through Thursday. Not: The meetings are 8-11 a.m., Monday-Thursday.
Exceptions An n-dash may be used with dates (e.g., July 18–21), and should always be used with dates when both days of the week and dates are included.
Example: The play runs Monday through Thursday, July 18–21.
When listing a beginning and ending time separated only by the word "to," or when listing a series of times when all times listed are a.m. or p.m., use a.m. or p.m. only once, following the final time listed.
Use: The meeting will be held from 8 to 11 a.m. Not: The meeting will be held from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Use: Sessions begin at 8:30, 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. Not: Sessions begin at 8:30 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
References to midnight can cause confusion. Is midnight Friday at the beginning or at the end of Friday? That‘s why insurance policies usually take effect at
20
12:01 a.m. and why airline schedules list flights at 11:59 p.m. or 12:01 a.m. and not midnight.
In many references, midnight is perfectly acceptable. In the sentence, "The dance will be held from 8 p.m. to midnight Friday," the meaning is clear.
14. GRAMMAR FOCUS: Tenses
In scientific and technical writing, the choice of verb tenses is quite limited. The most used tenses are.
the simple present the simple past the present perfect.
How is the present tense used? It is used to state facts that are generally valid from the point of view of the writer. Therefore, use it in the following situations: * when writing about your topic or background. Lasers are devices which amplify light and produce beams of light which are very intense directional and pure in color. Little is known about HPS systems which are the subject of the following chapter. * when explaining your purpose. Here we investigate the properties of the above-mentioned metals. The perturbation method we develop here applies to any crack geometry if the crack face weight function solutions are known for the corresponding reference crack. * when presenting results if the findings are general facts. In cases when the eigenvalue of interest is well separated from the others K2 tends to increase the natural frequencies of the forward and backward waves but decrease the natural frequency of the reflected wave just opposite to the effect of M2.
* when making general statements, e.g., in conclusions. This observation indicates an obvious inconsistency that is avoided by the introduction of generalized principles. The author believes that one particular application, where the results can be useful, is the modelling of contact problems involving anisotropic materials. There are differences in the way the passive and the active forms are used: * the present simple passive is used when describing a process or procedure (see on the Passive Voice) * the present simple active is preferred in physical descriptions, such as describing a piece of apparatus or equipment. The plotter represents another important output device. The plotter makes hard copy of the product represented by digital information in the computer. Most CAD systems use a pen plotter.
How is the past tense used? You use this when referring to specific tasks carried out, such as taking measurements, conducting experiments, describing methods actually used, or presenting your results and conclusions from the particular piece of work.
21
* The past simple passive is mainly used when we report a particular procedure related to only one particular occasion in the past. (See Section Passive Voice)
In Fig.4 the uniaxial curve was calculated using Eq. /51/ the deviatoric stress-strain curve was calculated using Eq./20/ and the hydrostatic stress-strain curve was calculated using Eq./52/. Experimental results were obtained by the use of surface wave transducers which were placed on two perpendicularly intersecting faces of a polished aluminum block. * The past tense is also used in the introduction to give historical background or development in the field of interest: Technologists and craftspeople of early civilizations built huge objects. Algebra and trigonometry were well understood and applied during those early years. Construction of the pyramids of Egypt and of Central and South America required experience and the labor of many people. I started my research at the beginning of this term. * The past tense is commonly used in acknowledgements: The work which led to this paper was sponsored by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. This financial support is greatly appreciated.
How is the present perfect used? It is commonly used in the introduction, particularly when you want to recapitulate the state of the art and show what work has been done and is still in progress. (See also Section Passive Voice) Recent progress in materials science, the development of new sophisticated application-designed materials, and especially the unique qualities of composite materials, have given a renewed interest in the problems arising when several different material phases interact with each other. This chapter has provided you with career information that will help you decide whether or not to pursue a technical degree. What other tenses are used in scientific and technical writing?
Present Continuous This can be found in reports on studies or research, mainly in the introduction. You use it when you want to stress that something is currently in progress or is only temporary. I am studying for a Ph.D. at Brno University of Technology. I am doing research into the problems of industrial waste.
Past Perfect This is not commonly used in technical/scientific writing. However, it is the tense you would use if you wanted to indicate that one action preceded another action in the past. The epoxy, a modified bisphenol that had been mixed with an amido amine hardener, was cast directly to the glass and cured at room temperature for at least a week.
22
Future tense with will This is not so frequently used as the present and past tenses. Use it when explaining how you intend to present information, give examples, or describe visuals. It also indicates future events or parts of your work that come later. The following examples of converting English units will employ a technique known as multiplying by the unit ratio. We will consider here the operating environment. Item number I 'concrete' will be examined to clarify further the spreadsheet results. * NOTE: Do not use the future tense in the subordinate clause in time or conditional sentences (with When … or If …, etc.)
The real value of the spreadsheet will be seen when the next survey is conducted. After the collected information is entered into the computer, the new minimum and maximum costs will be automatically calculated.
Conditional * In technical and scientific writing, the conditional is mainly used in acknowledgements: The authors would like to acknowledge the support of the National Science Foundation through Grant number CDR 589712. Both professionally and personally, I should like to thank just some of the many people who have influenced this book. Points to check in your writing
Within one paragraph, it is not usual to shift tenses unless there is a good reason to do so. The example below is the final paragraph of the introduction to a scientific paper. This paragraph * summarizes the purpose of the paper (in the past tense), * states the current state of development in the area of interest (present perfect), * indicates the aim of the paper (future tense), and * reports the results performed by the authors (past tense). The purpose of the work presented here was to examine interfacial crack initiation over a wide range of mode mixes. The analysis and development of a suitable specimen and biaxial device have already been described. This paper will present the results and analysis of a series of experiments that were conducted with various combinations of tensile and positive or negative shear loads.
When all verbs describe a sequence of actions or states, their tenses should be the same. This is often the case in describing an experiment.
In the petroleum industry one of the most widely used methods for enhancing production is the hydraulic fracturing process. The method involves packing off a section of a borehole in the ―pay zone‖ and hydraulically pressurizing it until the formation fractures. The fracture is then propagated by keeping the borehole pressurized typically by controlling the flow rate at the surface.
variation between passive and active constructions is strongly
23
recommended to keep the reader interested. (See Section Passive Voice.)
check your use of tenses in if clauses (see above)
If the relative width of the tube is greater than 20 then the difference is /will be hardly affected by h. If the experiments were carried out by introducing edge conditions nearer to true simple supports than those imposed within tubes the buckling loads could be higher than those obtained in tube experiments.

BAB V COMPOSITION I
16. UMUM.
Pada bab V ini terdiri dari beberapa materi yang meliputi word order, titles, conveying and organizing ideas in sentence and paragraph. Also reading text.
17. GRAMMAR FOCUS: Word Order
WORD ORDER
English is generally considered to be a language with a relatively fixed word order. In practice, this means that the positions of the subject S, the main verb V, and the object O are fixed in relation to each other. In normal statements, which form the bulk of technical and scientific writing, these items occur regularly in the order S-V-O.
The problem in technical and scientific writing is that parts of a sentence, particularly the subject, can become too long and complex, and therefore the basic structure may not be always clear.
The subject With longer subjects, it is very important to keep together the words that form the subject.
The formulas for the uniaxial and hydrostatic stress strain relationship given by Eqs. 49 and 50 are based on a model consisting of an infinite number of elastoplastic elements connected in parallel.
However, you should avoid overlong subjects. It is difficult for the reader to
process a long structure without losing the sense of the sentence as a whole.
In such cases, it is much better to re-formulate the sentence. One way of
doing this is to turn the verb into a noun, which then forms the subject of
the sentence. This new subject is short and the new verb, which is often in
the passive, is introduced as early as possible and is not left dangling at the
end of the sentence.
26
overlong subject In this article, the results of the studies into the role of different parts of the society in applying several types of economic incentives for waste management are improved
sentence In this article, a summary is given of the results of studies into the role of different parts of society in applying various types of economic incentives for waste management.
The verb The verb should be positioned as close to the subject as possible. The mistake of placing the verb at the end of the sentence after an over-long subject has been mentioned above.
No damage was observed in the specimen due to the uniaxial compressive stress.
The regular pattern S-V is inverted when you want to signal the existence or presence of something new by using there is / are / was / were, etc.
There has been relatively little examination of the effect of mode on subcritical crack growth.
Similarly, the subject - verb word order is changed when you start a sentence with It is / was … that … to show emphasis. See Section Emphasizing.
The objects in a sentence
The direct object comes as close as possible to the verb, and normally before prepositional or adverbial phrases.
We have sent a new type of laser to the research development and testing office in Seattle.
The position of adverbial phrases The most flexible elements in a sentence are the various kinds of adverbs and adverbial phrases. They are the most movable as they can occur at the start, in the middle or at the end. With the star-shaped flyer plate, cracks are observed to have formed at the middle of each free edge of the sample. Various numerical methods were recently developed for engineering problems.
The first element in the sentence attracts most attention. It is usually the subject but if another sentence element is to be emphasized, it comes first.
A comma is often used to separate this structure from the rest of the sentence (See Section Punctuation).
In industry large databases are maintained on manufacturing processes. When purchasing a monitor, the number or density of pixels is a good guideline.
The position of the time reference at the beginning of the sentence does not necessarily mean that this structure is emphasized. The time reference can be used as a convenient introduction in order to avoid breaking the flow with too many interruptions.
This year again our research group will introduce new methods developed within the project CZ 521896.
27
When the place reference comes first, the use of the passive can be used. In a Dirichlet type of problem, T is specified; T M and F M are computed from relative sizes and positions of the holes.
It is best to avoid using more than one adverbial phrase at the beginning of a sentence.
With respect to the base parametrization three model types are included in this study.
How to position also Generally, also is placed after the auxiliary verb (if there is one), but before the stem verb Finite element schemes also exist for determining the weight functions numerically. Systematic errors may be caused by the environment the instrument or the experimenter. Systematic errors may also be identified and eliminated during the laboratory.
If also functions as a link word for the sentence as a whole, then it is best to place it
AFTER the subject of the sentence rather than as the first word.
These procedures provide the ability to visualize externally applied forces. They also require the differentiation of constraint functions which are not given any geometrical significance.
Points to check in your own writing Have I avoided long noun phrases with verbs left dangling at the end of a long sentence? Can I rewrite the sentence to make it more readable? Have I used a variety of adverbial phrases at the start of sentences to give the right emphasis to my ideas? Most importantly have I used the best word order to convey my points clearly to the reader?
18. TITLES
The purpose of a piece of scientific writing is to present information clearly and concisely so that it can be easily understood. Clarity therefore begins with the title. In scientific and technical writing, a poetic or stylized title does not help the reader at all. For example, the following title
The Kopje Drummers of the Karoo
does not tell the reader that the paper is about birds, woodpeckers to be exact. However, this title
The mating rituals of Geocolaptes olivaceus South Africa‘s Ground Woodpecker
tells the reader very clearly what the subject of the paper is. Elements in a title In technical and scientific writing, the title is a precise description of the contents. It should include specific words to indicate the following:
28
the topic, that is, the main, general subject you are writing about.
the focus, that is, a detailed narrowing down of the topic into the particular, limited area of your research
optionally, for a scientific article, the purpose of your writing. This means including a word such as the following, which tells the reader what kind of argumentation to expect:
An analysis of … An assessment of … A comparison of … A description of … A discussion of … An evaluation of … An explanation of … An outline of …
Some sample titles:
purpose topic focus An analysis of
carp culture management
as a tool for Mexican crayfish conservation. An overview
of nutritional needs before, during and after an
endurance event. A discussion of
genetic engineering technology
and its effects on the environment. An evaluation of
sewage treatment as a tool in environmental protection.
Punctuation of titles: capital letters • It is clearer to type your title in lower case rather than in capital letters. • Use capital letters for the first letter of all the main words in the
title, including nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, longer prepositions, conjunctions
• Do not use capital letters for short structural words (except when they are the first word of the title), such as articles (a, an, the), short prepositions (of, in, to, at), coordinating conjunctions (and, or, nor, but, for)
Points to check in your own writing.
Be precise and concise; strive for clarity and avoid terms with multiple meanings which might lead to misunderstanding.
Use key words from the paper to inform readers of the content but try not to choose too many technical words as this will not attract a wider audience.
Titles stand alone; they are not a part of the opening sentence or paragraph.
19. CONVEYING AND ORGANIZING IDEAS IN SENTENCE AND PARAGRAPH
A paragraph is a group of related sentences that support one main idea. In
general, paragraphs consist of three parts: the topic sentence, body sentences,
and the concluding or the bridge sentence to the next paragraph or section.
Paragraphs show where the subdivisions of a research paper begin and end and,
thus, help the reader see the organization of the essay and grasp its main points.
Development and Organization
Before you can begin to determine what the composition of a particular
paragraph will be, you must consider what is the most important idea that you are
trying to convey to your reader. This is the "controlling idea," or the thesis
statement from which you compose the remainder of the paragraph. In other
words, your paragraphs should remind your reader that there is a recurrent
relationship between your controlling idea and the information in each
paragraph. The research problem functions like a seed from which your paper,
29
and your ideas, will grow. The whole process of paragraph development is an
organic one—a natural progression from a seed idea to a full-blown research
study where there are direct, familial relationships in the paper between all of
your controlling ideas and the paragraphs which derive from them.
The decision about what to put into your paragraphs begins with
brainstorming about how you want to pursue the research problem. There are
many techniques for brainstorming but, whichever one you choose, this stage of
paragraph development cannot be skipped because it lays a foundation for
developing a set of paragraphs [representing a section of your paper] that
describes a specific element of your overall analysis. Each section is described
further in this writing guide.
Given these factors, every paragraph in a paper should be:
Unified—All of the sentences in a single paragraph should be related to a
single controlling idea [often expressed in the topic sentence of the
paragraph].
Clearly related to the research problem—The sentences should all refer
to the central idea, or the thesis, of the paper.
Coherent—The sentences should be arranged in a logical manner and
should follow a definite plan for development.
Well-developed—Every idea discussed in the paragraph should be
adequately explained and supported through evidence and details that
work together to explain the paragraph's controlling idea.
There are many different ways you can organize a paragraph. However, the
organization you choose will depend on the controlling idea of the paragraph.
Ways to organize a paragraph in academic writing include:
Narrative: Tell a story. Go chronologically, from start to finish.
Descriptive: Provide specific details about what something looks or feels
like. Organize spatially, in order of appearance, or by topic.
Process: Explain step by step how something works. Perhaps follow a
sequence—first, second, third.
Classification: Separate into groups or explain the various parts of a topic.
Illustrative: Give examples and explain how those examples prove your
point.
20. READING TEXT
Read this reading text then answer the questions (reading text can be changed
based on the subject matter that be discussing).
HYBRID WAR Hybrid war (hybrid war) is a military strategy that mixes conventional wars,
irregular wars, and cyber war. In this war, by combining kinetic operations with subversive efforts, the aggressors intend to avoid attribution or retribution. There are various terms that are often used to refer to the concept of hybrid war, namely: hybrid war, hybrid warfare, hybrid threat, or hybrid adversary. American military agencies tend to speak within the framework of "hybrid threats", while academic literature talks about "hybrid warfare". In this article, both terms can be used alternately in the same sense.
Conventional warfare is a form of warfare conducted by using conventional weapons and battlefield tactics between two or more states in open confrontation. The forces on each side are well-defined, and fight using
30
weapons that primarily target the opponent's military. It is normally fought using conventional weapons, and not with chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons. The general purpose of conventional warfare is to weaken or destroy the opponent's military, thereby negating its ability to engage in conventional warfare. In forcing capitulation, however, one or both sides may eventually resort to unconventional warfare tactics.
Modern hybrid war that simultaneously combines conventional, irregular, and terrorist components is a complex challenge that requires an adaptable and versatile military to overcome. The United States has increasingly focused on counterinsurgency doctrine in the wake of its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. On the contrary, the commander of a military fighting a hybrid war will need to leverage a wide range of capabilities including conventional high intensity conflict units, decentralized special operations forces, and sophisticated information operations and technology platforms. The concept of hybrid war is not new, but its means are increasingly sophisticated and deadly, and require a response in kind.
Irregular warfare is often characterized as warfare in which one or more combatants are irregular military rather than regular forces. This is because the two most commonly understood forms, insurgency and terrorism both involve non-state actors. But irregular warfare is distinguished from traditional warfare not by the parties involved, but rather by the focus of the participants on swaying some population to their side. In US military doctrine, irregular warfare is defined ―A violent struggle among state and non-state actors for legitimacy and influence over the relevant populations‖ . The overuse of the term 'warfare' in contemporary military terminology to describe both a specific type of engagement and the type of forces participating in it can lead to false conclusions. A guerrilla unit that is made of commandos is a regular unit conducting asymmetric warfare whereas an irregular band of fighters can engage combat in a tactical infantry firefight if well led and well equipped, fighting like a conventional unit. Irregular warfare favors indirect and asymmetric warfare approaches, though it may employ the full range of military and other capabilities, in order to erode the adversary‘s power, influence, and will. It is inherently a protracted struggle that will test the resolve of a state and its strategic partners. Concepts associated with irregular warfare are older than the term itself.
Cyberwarfare involves the use and targeting of computers and networks in warfare. It involves both offensive and defensive operations pertaining to the threat of cyberattacks, espionage and sabotage. There has been controversy over whether such operations can duly be called "war". Nevertheless, nations have been developing their Capabilities and engaged in cyberwarfare either as an aggressor, defendant, or both. Cyberwarfare has been defined as "actions by a nation-state to penetrate another nation's computers or networks for the purposes of causing damage or disruption", but other definitions also include non-state actors, such as terrorist groups, companies, political or ideological extremist groups, hacktivists, and transnational criminal organizations.
Some governments have made it an integral part of their overall military strategy, with some having invested heavily in cyberwarfare capability. Cyberwarfare is essentially a formalized version of penetration testing in which a government entity has established it as a warfighting capability. This capability uses the same set of penetration testing methodologies but applies them, in the case of United States doctrine, in a strategical way to Prevent cyber attacks against critical infrastructure Reduce national vulnerability to cyber attacks Minimize damage and recovery time from cyber attacks
Offensive operations are also part of these national level strategies for officially declared wars as well as undeclared secretive operations.
31
So that is the kind of war that exists in the world. All that will continue to evolve with the times. Addressing these threats will require more agile military organizational capabilities and personnel to prevent information operations, electronic warfare (EW) and cyberspace action in hybrid wars in peacetime does not trigger military conflicts.

BAB VI COMPOSITION II
CAPITALIZATION AND PUNCTUATION
21. UMUM.
Dalam bab VI ini terdapat materi berupa capitalization, colons,
parentheses, dashes, and other punctuations. Ditambahkan pula grammar focus
dan listening.
22. CAPITALIZATION
At first glance, the rules of English capitalization seem simple. You probably
know you should capitalize proper nouns and the first word of every sentence.
But you also (sometimes) capitalize the first word of a quote. Usually you don‘t
capitalize after a colon, but there are exceptions. And what do you do when
you‘re not sure whether something is a proper noun?
English Capitalization Rules:
a. Capitalize the First Word of a Sentence
This one‘s easy. Always capitalize the first word of a sentence.
The cat is sleeping.
Where did I put that book?
Hey! It is great to see you! How have you been?
b. Capitalize Names and Other Proper Nouns
You should always capitalize people‘s names.
My favorite author is Jane Austen.
Tom and Diane met at Judy‘s house.
Have you met my dog, Boomer?
Names are proper nouns. The names of cities, countries, companies, religions,
and political parties are also proper nouns, so you should capitalize them, too.
We experienced some beautiful Southern California weather last fall
when we attended a Catholic wedding in San Diego.
You should also capitalize words like mom and grandpa when they are used as a
form of address.
Just wait until Mom sees
33
this!
But
My mom is not going to like
this.
Here’s a tip: Want to make sure your writing always looks great? Grammarly can
save you from misspellings, grammatical and punctuation mistakes, and other
writing issues on all your favorite websites.
c. Don‘t Capitalize After a Colon (Usually)
In most cases, you do not need to capitalize after a colon.
I have one true passion: wombat
racing.
There are a couple of common exceptions. One is when the word following the
colon is a proper noun.
There is only one place I want to visit: New York
City.
The other exception is when the words following the colon form one or more
complete sentences.
Maggie always wears a brimmed cap for these two reasons: Strong
light often gives her a headache. She also likes the way it looks.
d. Capitalize the First Word of a Quote (Sometimes)
Capitalize the first word of a quote when the quote is a complete sentence.
Mario asked, ―What is everyone doing this weekend?‖
Stacy answered, ―My sister and I are going to the water park.‖
Don‘t capitalize the first word of partial quotes.
Gretchen said she was ―way too busy‖ to join the gym.
Mr. Thompson described the rules as ―extremely difficult to understand if
you don‘t have a law degree.‖
e. Capitalize Days, Months, and Holidays, But Not Seasons
The names of days, months, and holidays are proper nouns, so you should
capitalize them.
I hate Mondays!
34
Tom‘s birthday is in June.
Oh no! I forgot about Valentine‘s Day!
The names of seasons, however, are not proper nouns, so there is no need to
capitalize them.
I hate winter!
Having a summer birthday is the best.
f. Capitalize Most Words in Titles
The capitalization rules for titles of books, movies, and other works vary a little
between style guides. In general, you should capitalize the first word, all nouns,
all verbs (even short ones, like is), all adjectives, and all proper nouns. That
means you should lowercase articles, conjunctions, and prepositions—however,
some style guides say to capitalize conjunctions and prepositions that are longer
than five letters.
Sense and Sensibility is better than Pride and Prejudice.
The first movie of the series is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s
Stone.
g. Capitalize Cities, Countries, Nationalities, and Languages
The names of cities, countries, nationalities, and languages are proper nouns, so
you should capitalize them.
English is made up of many languages, including Latin, German,
and French.
My mother is British, and my father is Dutch.
The capital of Botswana is Gaborone.
h. Capitalize Time Periods and Events (Sometimes).
Specific periods, eras, and historical events that have proper names should be
capitalized.
Most of the World War I veterans are now deceased.
In the Middle Ages, poor hygiene was partly responsible for the spreading
of bubonic plague.
Middle school students often enjoy studying the social changes that took
place during the Roaring Twenties.
However, centuries—and the numbers before them—are not capitalized.
35
In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries England blossomed into
an empire.
23. PUNCTUATIONS
Proper punctuation makes a text clear to understand. Wrongly placed
punctuation marks may make a sentence ambiguous or even change the
meaning. Each punctuation mark serves a purpose and conveys a signal to the
reader.
Apart from capital letters and full stops, the most common punctuation marks
in technical and scientific writing are:
comma , colon : semi-colon ; brackets / parenthesis
( ) [ ] dash -- hyphen - apostrophe '
How are the punctuation marks used?
a. COMMA (,)
This is used
* between two independent clauses with different subjects if they are
part of a series or are joined by and, but so and or.
The reactor was out of control the content overheated and the safety valve failed. The diagnostic work is normally done by the computer, but the technician must be able to understand the various computer operating systems and to use the system‘s software.
* if the subordinate clause comes before the main clause in a sentence.
comma When the liquid boils, a residue is formed. no comma A residue is formed when the liquid boils.
* to separate a non-defining relative clause from the rest of the sentence.
Note that you must use which or who, but not that in these sentences. That
can be used in defining relative clauses, and there is no comma.
Brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc, is used to make bolts and screws. The experiments that were described in the previous section were part of a series that was conducted over a range of mode mixes. * in a series of three before a conjunction The bridge circuit consists of four tensimeters a signal source and a detector.
36
Some writers leave out the comma before the last item in the series, but then
there is the danger of ambiguity. If in doubt, put a comma in.
without final comma
The liquids we analyzed were neat methanol, neat ethanol, methanol and 10 percent water and ethanol and 10 percent water. with
final comma
The liquids we analyzed were neat methanol, neat ethanol, methanol with 10 percent water, and ethanol with 10 percent water.
* to separate linking words and phrases from the rest of the sentence.
On the other hand, the chances of success are great.
The chemical engineer's greatest contribution, however, will be in the
development of new energy systems.
* to separate some adverbs, adverbial expressions, or other introductory
phrases from the rest of the sentence.
Additionally, from the technical point of view, the human arm is admirable due to
its sensitivity and versatility.
Using physical principles, the thin layers, CN, TIN, AIN …, can be grown and
modified.
To avoid undesirable failure during the test, cover the test stand.

e. DASH and HYPHEN (-)
Six excellent career fields within mechanical engineering technology are heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC); mechanical design and tool design; numerical control (NC); technical sales; fluid power; and laser technology.

* Dash You can use a dash in the same way as round brackets to add
extra, less important information. The dash, however, is somewhat informal, so
it is not so often used in scientific reports as commas or brackets.
A study on the modelling of waste flow in the city of Chemnitz demonstrated
the applicability of the applied software – UMBERTO.
Mechanical design technicians are the communicators of industry. They
prepare – or supervise the preparation of – assembly drawings.
* Hyphens are used to join words to make new words. The rules for
hyphens are complicated and vary in different publishing houses and between
individual writers. American English uses rather fewer hyphens than British
English. If you are in doubt, check in a dictionary. Hyphens are most used in the
following kinds of compounds:
noun – adverb hands-on applications adjective compounds in -ed or -ing cone-shaped
piece of stock problem-coordination compounds Paper-and-pencil skills Garbage in-garbage out (GIGO) is the description the computer personnel used for invalid data inputs Compounds expressing numerals and
fractions two-dimensional shapes four-sided Compounds in which the first base is
a single capital letter
U-turn

* phrases which have no hyphen normally have to have them when used
as an adjective phrase before a noun
open phrase phrase used as an adjective

24. GRAMMAR FOCUS: Passive Voices
40
PASSIVE VOICE FORMULA
The passive voice is frequently used in technical and scientific writing because the form is impersonal and objective. The action is felt to be more important than the agent or the performer of the action.
action
agent The survey was
conducted by the Pristop Communication group.
What types of passive construction are there?
with an agent stated To avoid tensile stress reflecting from the free boundaries, a star-shaped flyer plate has been proposed by Kumar and Clifton. without an agent
stated The distance between the bars was measured.
Which are the most common passive tenses used in technical and scientific
writing?
Present passive. We normally use the present passive tense when describing a process or procedure or when making general statements of fact.
Paper is made from wood. The trees are cut down.
Past passive. When we report a particular procedure and are
41
concerned with only one particular occasion in the past; then we use the past passive tense.
The capillary was filled with mercury and all air excluded. Air was admitted to the chamber and heated.
Present perfect passive. This tense is often used in the introduction where you might want to refer to things relating to your work that have happened, or been said, recently.
For example, it has been suggested that cathepsin S promotes motility of cilia. On the other hand, the possibilities of computational modelling have increased in the last few years, enabling the models to be much more realistic.
Passive with modals. These are commonly found in technical and
scientific writing in such phrases as
It should be made clear that … It cannot be assumed that …
Points to check in your writing.
the passive forms are placed on / given to / by are preferable in English to the active
During the last two years of study, increasing emphasis is placed on practical training. Figure 6 in the previous section shows that, for the Lorenz system, better results are given by quadratic than linear functions.
using passive constructions is one way of avoiding the first person
singular in technical or scientific writing
It can be concluded that …
In long sentences active constructions are better because the verb in passive constructions could come at the end of the sentence, which makes a construction clumsy. passive For this reason, the emission and excitation spectra of Hg2CL2
luminescence on virgin samples and samples exposed to UV light and X-ray were studied. active For this reason, the subject of the study was the emission and excitation spectra of…
Overuse of the passive should be avoided. Variation between active and passive verb forms keeps the reader more interested.

27. FIGURE AND TABLES
Figures and tables (display items) are often the quickest way
to communicate large amounts of complex information that would be
complicated to explain in text.
Probably the most important thing to keep in mind when describing
graphs and tables is how to convey the information properly and accurately.
Surprisingly, Relatively few key words or grammar elements are needed when
describing trends or movements. The following vocabulary items can be used:
To go up (a little) Noun
s Verb
s an Increase to increase a rise to rise a growth to grow an improvement to improve an upturn to go up an upward trend
To go up (a lot) Noun
s Verb
s a surge to surge an upsurge to take off to shoot up to soar to rocket a jump to jump a leap to leap

Tables
Tables are a concise and effective way to present large amounts of data. You should design them carefully so that you clearly communicate your results to busy researchers. The following is an example of a well-designed table:
Clear and concise legend/caption Data divided into categories for clarity Sufficient spacing between columns and rows Units are provided Font type and size are legible
Source: Environmental Earth Sciences (2009) 59:529–536
Figures Figures are ideal for presenting:
a. Images b. Data plots c. Maps d. Schematics
45
Just like tables all figures need to have a clear and concise legend caption to accompany them. a. Images Images help readers visualize the information you are trying to convey. Often, it is difficult to be sufficiently descriptive using words. Images can help in achieving the accuracy needed for a scientific manuscript. For example, it may not be enough to say, ―The surface had nanometer scale features.‖ In this case, it would be ideal to provide a microscope image. For images, be sure to:
Include scale bars. Consider labeling important items. Indicate the meaning of different colors and symbols used.
b. Data plots Data plots convey large quantities of data quickly. The goal is often to show a functional or statistical relationship between two or more items. However, details about the individual data points are often omitted to place emphasis on the relationship that is shown by the collection of points. Here, we have examples of figures combining images and a plot in multiple panels. For data plots, be sure to:
Label all axes. Specify units for quantities. Label all curves and data sets. Use a legible font size.

A good map will help your reader understand how the site affects your study. Moreover, it will help other researchers reproduce your work or find other locations with similar properties. Here, we have a map used in a study about salmon. For maps, be sure to:
Include latitude and longitude.

d. Schematics Schematics help identify the key parts to a system or process. They should highlight only the key elements because adding unimportant items may clutter the image. A schematic only includes the drawings the author chooses, offering a degree of flexibility not offered by images. They can also be used in situations where it is difficult or impossible to capture an image. Below is a schematic explaining how nanotubes could be used to harvest energy from a fluid. For schematics, be sure to:
Label key items Provide complementary explanations in the caption and main text

28. NUMBERS, UNITS AND EQUATIONS How do I express numbers in my writing?
When is it necessary to write numbers as numerals (1, 2, 3, 4 …) or as words (one, two, three, four, …)? The answer is always to present your work as clearly
as possible. Is your text unreadable because of an overloading of numerals or,
in contrast, are some important figures unnecessarily hidden within the text?
The following are some general rules which should be followed, including correct
examples:
48
a. Numerals should not be used at the beginning of a sentence.
One of the specimens underwent fatigue testing.
Four aircraft wings failed under loading.
b. Numerals should not be used in succession or in a series of numerical facts.
eighty 5mm rivets
3 two-stroke engines
c. Numerals should not be used for round number estimates or ordinals.
the second report dealt with fractures due to stress.
approximately two hundred cracks were observed.
d. Use numerals for all page numbers, dates, figures, diagrams, addresses.
e. For numbers below ten, words tend to be preferred to numerals.
NUMBERS
1. All numbers below 10 (including zero) should be written out in words, with
the following exceptions: age, time, dates, page numbers, percentages,
money, proportions, and units of measure. Numbers greater than nine are
written in numerals.
Rule examples:
o one robot
o two containers
o three team members
o eight workstations
o zero chance
Exceptions: o 2 seconds
o $3
o 4:00AM
o 8 percent
o 9 years old
2. If two or more numbers are presented together, write them all as numbers.
This makes your work consistent, neat, and easy to understand. However,
if all the numbers in the section are below 10, write them all as words, e.g.,
We used 4 worm gears, 15 pulleys, and 3 motors. Or, we used four worm
gears, two pulleys, and three motors.
3. Hyphenate a number and a unit of measure when they modify a noun, e.g.,
a 4-year-old boy, a 12-inch-long pipe, or an 8-pound baby.
49
4. Write fractions and decimals as numerals, not words. So it is 0.25, not zero
point two five.
5. Be consistent when you write decimals. Always begin with a zero if the
number is less than one (0.25). This guarantees consistency when you
write them in columns with other numbers. You may align these numbers
in a column by the decimal point:
20.23
1.25
0.33
10.232
6. Or flush left:
20.23
1.25
0.33
10.232
7. Or flush right:
20.23
1.25
0.33
10.232
8. If a number is an approximation, write it out, like twice as much and half
finished.
9. You may not begin a sentence with a numeral. Write the number out in
words or rephrase the sentence, not, 16 years after the project began,
funding was cut. But Funding was cut 16 years after the project began.
UNITS OF MEASURE
1. When writing units of measure, be consistent. If you are measuring
temperature as degrees Fahrenheit, do not suddenly switch to degrees
Celsius.
2. Units of measure can be written as symbols, words, or abbreviations. For
basic units of measurement, use words: 25 pounds, 12 inches. For derived
units of measure — ones formed using a calculation — use symbols:
38mph, 27ft/s2. Some derived units of measure have two symbols: one that
represents the derivation and one that represents the word. In this case,
use the one that represents the word because it will be more familiar to
your reader. Use F for Farad, Hz for Hertz, and V for Volt.
3. To indicate multiplication, use a raised dot (∙ ). To indicate division, use a
slash (/). If you are writing out the unit in words, use a hyphen for
multiplication, and the word per for division: The force was 22 kilogram-
meters squared, the speed was 50 miles per hour.
4. If you want to add a secondary unit of measure after your primary one, put
it in parentheses following the primary unit of measure: 10°C (50°F).
50
Equations
1. Do not use too many equations; it is easy to make a mistake and they are
cumbersome in the text. If your readers are not technical, try not to use
them at all.
2. Put your equations on a separate line, center them, and number them:
(1) y = ax2 + bx + c
3. When you introduce your equations with words, punctuate the
introductory remarks normally. To do this, substitute the phrase this
equation for the actual equation and add the correct punctuation. For
example, the current in the wire is calculated using E=IR. Not The current in
the wire is calculated using: E=IR. Note the period following the equation. If
the sentence were, the current in the wire is calculated using E=IR where E
is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance., then the period after the
equation is not necessary and appears at the end of the sentence instead.
This is by no means a comprehensive list of the rules for writing numbers,
symbols, and equations. For a complete list consult an appropriate style guide.

29. GRAMMAR FOCUS: Plural Nouns
PLURAL NOUNS: RULES AND EXAMPLES
Most singular nouns are made plural by simply putting an -s at the end. There are many different rules regarding pluralization depending on what letter a noun ends in. Irregular nouns do not follow plural noun rules, so they must be memorized or looked up in the dictionary.
52
Plural Noun Rules
There are many plural noun rules, and because we use nouns so frequently when writing, it‘s important to know all of them! The correct spelling of plurals usually depends on what letter the singular noun ends in.
1. To make regular nouns plural, add -s to the end.
cat – cats
house – houses
2. If the singular noun ends in -s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, or -z, add -es to the end to
make it plural.
truss – trusses
bus – buses
marsh – marshes
lunch – lunches
tax – taxes
blitz – blitzes
3. In some cases, singular nouns ending in -s or -z, require that you double the -
s or -z prior to adding the -es for pluralization.
fez – fezzes
gas –gasses
4. If the noun ends with -f or -fe, the f is often changed to -ve before adding the -s
to form the plural version.
wife – wives
wolf – wolves
Exceptions:
roof – roofs
belief – beliefs
chef – chefs
chief – chiefs
53
5. If a singular noun ends in -y and the letter before the -y is a consonant,
change the ending to -ies to make the noun plural.
city – cities
puppy – puppies
6. If the singular noun ends in -y and the letter before the -y is a vowel, simply
add an -s to make it plural.
ray – rays
boy – boys
7. If the singular noun ends in -o, add -es to make it plural.
potato – potatoes
tomato – tomatoes
Exceptions:
photo – photos
piano – pianos
halo – halos
With the unique word volcano, you can apply the standard pluralization for
words that end in -o or not. It‘s your choice! Both of the following are correct: volcanoes
volcanos
8. If the singular noun ends in -us, the plural ending is frequently -i.
cactus – cacti
focus – foci
9. If the singular noun ends in -is, the plural ending is -es.
analysis – analyses
ellipsis – ellipses
10. If the singular noun ends in -on, the plural ending is -a.
phenomenon – phenomena
criterion – criteria
11. Some nouns don‘t change at all when they‘re pluralized. sheep – sheep
series – series
species – species
deer –deer
You need to see these nouns in context to identify them as singular or plural.
Consider the following sentence:
Mark caught one fish, but I caught three fish.
PLURAL NOUN RULES FOR IRREGULAR NOUNS
54
Irregular nouns follow no specific rules, so it‘s best to memorize these or look up the proper pluralization in the dictionary.
child – children goose – geese man – men woman – women tooth – teeth foot – feet mouse – mice person – people 30. LISTENING

Pada bab VIII ini banyak dijelaskan tentang referencing in the English
writing, grammar focus and listening
32. REFERENCING
Not everything in your writing need be documented. Facts and ideas that
are ‗common knowledge‘ (and not from a quotation), as well as your own
thoughts, opinions and conclusions do not need to be documented. But
whenever you rely on an idea or the writing of someone else in support of your
own thesis, this must be credited. If you fail to do this, you will be guilty of
plagiarism. (See Section about Plagiarism)
a. Types of references As well as referring to another work within your text (see Section Quoting), you have to give more details about your sources in one or more of these places:
1) Footnote
* provides details about the source of an in-text citation. * placed at the bottom of the page where the citation appears.
2) Endnote
* provides details about the source of an in-text citation. * placed at the end of the article or paper, on a separate sheet of paper.
3) Bibliography
* complete list of reference books, articles and other source materials cited in your work, in alphabetical order by author
* placed at the end of the article or paper, on a separate sheet of paper. b. Style sheets Every publisher and discipline have its own requirements and provides style sheets on how references should be laid out, even though they all require the same basic information. These style sheets are readily available, and provide style standards for writing in most fields, sciences, and disciplines. As a professional writer, you are responsible for knowing and following the standard of your particular discipline.
c. Format of references The basic guidelines below apply to how you lay out the details about a source in a footnote, an endnote or a bibliography. For how you actually cite a source in your text see Section about Quoting. Quoting. The examples given follow APA style, as governed by The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Check whether this style actually applies to your own discipline.

33. GRAMMAR FOCUS: Modal Verbs.
What are modal verbs?
Modals (also called modal verbs, modal auxiliary
verbs, modal auxiliaries) are special verbs which
behave irregularly in English. They are different
from normal verbs like "work, play, visit..." They
give additional information about the function of
the main verb that follows it. They have a great
variety of communicative functions.
Here are some characteristics of modal verbs:
They never change their form. You can't add "s", "ed", "ing"...
They are always followed by an infinitive without "to" (e.i. the bare
infinitive.)
They are used to indicate modality allow speakers to express certainty,
possibility, willingness, obligation, necessity, ability
List of modal verbs
Here is a list of modal verbs:
can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should, must
The verbs or expressions dare, ought to, had better, and need not behave like modal auxiliaries to a large extent and my be added to the above list
Use of modal verbs: Modal verbs are used to express functions such as:
1. Permission 2. Ability 3. Obligation 4. Prohibition 5. Lack of necessity 6. Advice 7. possibility
59
8. probability
Examples of modal verbs Here is a list of modals with examples: Modal Verb Expressing Example
must Strong obligation You must stop when the traffic lights turn red.
logical conclusion / Certainty
He must be very tired. He's been working all day long.
must not prohibition You must not smoke in the hospital. can ability I can swim.
permission Can I use your phone please? possibility Smoking can cause cancer.
could ability in the past When I was younger I could run fast. polite permission Excuse me, could I just say something? possibility It could rain tomorrow!
may permission May I use your phone please? possibility, probability It may rain tomorrow!
might polite permission Might I suggest an idea? possibility, probability I might go on holiday to Australia next
year. need not lack of
necessity/absence of obligation
I need not buy tomatoes. There are plenty of tomatoes in the fridge.
should/ought to
50 % obligation I should / ought to see a doctor. I have a terrible headache.
advice You should / ought to revise your lessons logical conclusion He should / ought to be very tired. He's
been working all day long. had better advice You 'd better revise your lessons
Remember Modal verbs are followed by an infinitive without "to", also called the bare infinitive. Examples:
You must stop when the traffic lights turn red. You should see to the doctor. There are a lot of tomatoes in the fridge. You need not buy any.

ALC Vol 2300: Kaset 2305A (A Cold Morning)
A COLD MORNING
Jim : Good morning, Mr. Jones. How are you this morning?
Mr. Jones : Pretty good for Monday. Weekends spoil me. I sleep late on
Saturday and Sunday, and I surely hate to get up early on
Monday morning.
Joe : So do I, especially after I turn in late the night before. B-r-r-r,
didn`t it get cold this morning!
Bill : I`ll say it did. Yesterday it was cloudy, but it cleared up
during the night and the thermometer dropped way down this
morning.
Frank : Why does it usually get so much colder when there is no
cloud cover and when the wind dies down at night?
John : Because cloudy weather in winter generally indicates an area
of low barometric pressure, and the air is warmer and contains
more humidity. After the colder, heavier air pushes away the
warmer, lighter air, the wind often stops and we have a hard
freeze.
Frank : The radio said it got down to 140 Fahrenheit during the night,
just 140 above zero.
Jim : You mean to tell me it`s not even freezing now?
John : Oh, yes, the low was 180 below freezing, and I suppose it`s
still about 150 below freezing.
Joe : In my country zero is called the freezing point.
Frank : That is the freezing point on the Celcius or centigrade scale,
but 320 is the freezing point on the Fahrenheit scale.
Tom : Well, sir, what is the difference?
John : I think I can explain the difference. The freezing point of
water is 00 on the centigrade thermometer and 320 on the
Fahrenheit scale, while the boiling point is 1000 on the
centigrade and 2120 on the Fahrenheit scales.
Frank : I wonder how cold it is in this room now? My feet are frozen!
Bill : Mine are, too, but otherwise I feel fairly warm.
Tom : The thermostat in the hall is set for 700 F.
61
Joe : Yes, but remember the thermostat is in the hall and at least
feet high on the wall, and it could be a lot colder near the floor
in this room.
Jim : Why is that? It always feels warmer in the upper part of the
room than on my feet.
Frank : That is because the warmer, lighter air always rise and
colder, heavier air replaces the lower layers of air. As the warm
air gradually rises and the level of colder air reaches the height
of the thermostat, it automatically comes on and starts up the
heating system.
Tom : It`s time for the `break`. Let`s go out and smoke. Maybe we`ll
get warm moving around some.

36. COMPARISON AND CONTRAST
Comparing means putting two or more objects, facts or ideas together and
stating in what ways they are similar or dissimilar. The two phenomena must be
comparable, that is, they must have some characteristics in common.
Comparing two things is a fairly simple logical operation. Nevertheless,
there is a wide variety of phrases and sentence structures that can be used to
express different kinds of comparison.
In what different ways can things be compared?
Similarity
When you want to emphasise the similarity between two things, you can use the
following sentence patterns:
A is
are
should be
(about / almost / roughly /
essentially the same as)
B
similar to
like
equal to
No different from
can be compared directly to in every
respect
A and B are identical in most
respects
in that …
The same
alike
similar
Some example sentences
* The characteristic feature of the totality of natural numbers, …, is logically
equivalent to the principle of mathematical induction.
* A point set in S in the plane is called bounded if …. For a point set in space the
definition is similar; we ….
* By way of analogy, the ALU may be thought of as a super adding-machine.
63
* We define an accumulation point of S in exactly the same way as we did for
point set on the line.
* Sweden, like Finland, has very large resources of timber.
The following linking words and phrases may also be used to express similarity:
like …; as well as …; both … and …; just as …; In the same way, …
Similarly, …
Dissimilarity
Dissimilarity basically means that one phenomenon is either more or less than
another in one or several respects. The following structures can be used:
A is (much)
(far)
(substantially)
(somewhat)
(rather)
(slightly)
adjective + -er
more + adjective
less + adjective
than B
(almost) as + adjective as
is
not
(quite) so + adjective
Example sentence:
So even though it's non-porous, much thicker and far more reliable than gold
plating, we can almost always offer our glad connectors for less than you would
pay for an ordinary connector. In general, the dependence of the open-loop gain
on temperature is of less importance than the thermal behaviour of the amplifier
frequency response.
Superiority and inferiority
This means saying how something is better or worse than something else, with
regard to particular features. Phrases you can use include:
A is superior to
inferior to
B in a certain way
from a certain point of view
with regard to …
as regards …
in being
in that it is
inasmuch as it
is
more + adjective
less + adjective
in giving
showing
exhibiting
more + noun
greater + noun
less + noun
64
Example sentences:
* The reciprocating pump is superior to the rotary pump in being more efficient.
* The yarn strength of air-vortex spun yarns is somewhat inferior to that of rotor-
spun yarns, a 5% difference in strength being reported.
Proportionality and disproportionality
When two objects, X and Y, are considered in relation to each other, the
variability of certain of their features or characteristics can be compared. The
comparison may produce either a proportional or a disproportional result. You
can use the following sentence structures:
A feature of
X
changes
varies
(inversely) with as according to in accordance with
(a change in)
(a variation
in)
a feature of
Y
is proportional to
as a feature of X changes,
varies,
so does a feature of
Y
so
the better the (better) + verb
Example sentences:
* The higher the velocity of steam, the greater the turbine speed.
* Data input rise and fall times reduce as driver output impedance increases.
* The critical twist value, after which strength decreases, is lower for the former,
but increases with increasing yarn linear density, which is the reverse of the
effect found for conventional yarns.
* During expansion, the pressure varies inversely to the volume.
Contrasting.
Contrasting is a specific kind of comparison. Whereas in comparing you normally
look for at least one feature that the two or more objects have in common, in
contrasting you aim to identify the differences between them.
Here are some useful sentence structures:
It is common
useful
valuable
to distinguish
to differentiate
to make a distinction
Between A and B
A differs from
is different from
B in a certain respect
in the fact that …
in that it is…
can be distinguished
from
by its … (a certain characteristic)
65
Unlike
In contrast to
As opposed to
As distinct from
As against
B, A is + adjective
has + noun
Some common conjunctions and sentence linkers for expressing contrast:
While …, … Whereas …, … On the other hand, …
Example sentences:
* The RAM differs from the ROM in that it can be written into as well as read
from.
* It is useful to differentiate between a blower and a liquid.
* The engine, as distinct from the earlier one, has six cylinders.
* Unlike discrete-component designs, however, the microprocessor is not
programmed using …
* These differences are ascribed to the fact … most fibres have both ends spun in,
whereas in the case of ring-spun yarns one fibre end frequently protrudes from
the yarn.
* A hot engine will run on a weak mixture. On the other hand, a cold engine
requires a richer mixture.
37. GUIDED WRITING
Example: Arrange the following cues in proper word order to make complete
sentences. Write the sentences in paragraph form. Begin your paragraph with
this sentences: The science of aviation has developed greatly over the years.
1. Leonardo da vinci – experimental models – made – of flying machines – in the
fifteenth century
2. made – a Frenchman, de Rogier – in 1783 – the first ballon flight
3. an Englishman, Henson – of a steam powered aircraft – made a model – in
1842
4. in 1853 – Henri Gifford – the first steam powered, lighter than aircraft – flew
5. Otto Lilienthal – the first glider – made – 1891 – in Germany
6. by the North Americans, Orville and Wilbur Wright – the first engine powered,
heavier than air planes – in the early twentieth century – were made and flown –
and the Brazilian, Alberto Santos Dumont
The science of aviation has developed greatly over the years. Leonardo da
vinci made experimental models of flying machines in the fifteenth century. A
Frenchman, de Rogier made the first ballon flight in 1783. An Englishman,
Henson made a model of a steam powered aircraft in 1842. Henri Gifford flew
66
the first steam powered, lighter than aircraft in 1853. Otto Lilienthal made the
first glider in Germany in 1891. In the early twentieth century the first engine
powered, heavier than air planes were made and flown by the North Americans,
Orville and Wilbur Wright and the Brazilian, Alberto Santos Dumont.
38. PARAGRAPH DEVELOPMENT
Read and study the following paragraphs which are developed according to
time sequence:
Aunt Frances
Let me tell you about my Aunt Frances. She had an interesting life. She
became a secretary after she finished high school. She didn`t like that work, so
she entered a university. At first, she wanted to be a teacher. Then she decided to
be a nurse. Then she thought about being an engineer. Finally, she decided to be
a doctor. She married after she received Her M.D. degree, and she soon had five
children. However, she continued to work. After some years of experience, she
became a medical researcher. She devoted her career to cancer research.
39. READING
FUTURISTIC MILITARY COMBAT ROBOTS
The latest war robot technology - The war of the present day is predicted
for the future, not the same as the World War II era or the Cold War era. The war
in the future will favor a war robot that can be controlled from a distance. For
now, the country that is being intensively incessantly preparing its military robot
is the United States, Russia and China.
On September 8, 2016, Russia showed off their latest war robot technology
featuring dynamic performances involving mine clearance operations and
demonstrating speed and maneuverability in modern warfare. The robots
featured will include the Nerechta robot system, the Avtorobot, the crew-carrying
robot, and Shershen, which is an unmanned aircraft.The Newest Robot War
Technology Ready to Face The Modern War Age In The Future In addition, the
United States has also begun research to create a war robot that will help its
military defense. They want a robot that can be controlled from a distance and
does not require human labor to perform some military tasks. It is prepared to
face the year 2019 that reportedly the United States will lower its military forces
to 420,000 from 540,000 people today
The first Robot Bagal, which is a robot that resembles a horse and four-
legged. They named it AlphaDog. The use of this robot is to carry heavy items and
can cross even uneven terrain by staying stable. Second is IRobot's 710 Cobra, is
a bomb-disposal robot that will help US military forces. As we know, the act of
67
throwing bombs is very dangerous and risky if done by humans. So iRobot was
created to perform this action with the remote control. And the last is Robot
Guard, is a robot that will replace the role of human soldiers in maintaining
certain areas. This robot able to watch for 24 hours and able to detect the arrival
of the opponent. This robot is also equipped with weapons that can launch a shot
as far as 3 miles.
On the other side China has also invested heavily to deliver robots
equipped with Artificial Intelligence as its military robot. China's latest war
technology robot is in the stage of perfection that each unit is equipped with
antitank bullet weapons, grenades and assault rifles that make this Chinese
military robot into the ideal robot for the battle

BAB X AGREEING AND DISAGREEING
40. UMUM.
Pada bab X ini banyak dijelaskan tentang Agreeing And Disagreeing,
grammar focus and dialogue.
41. AGREEING AND DISAGREEING
Agreeing and disagreeing are typical elements of spoken English but may
also appear in scientific writing. When writers want to compare their findings
with those of other scientists, they may have to express their agreement or
disagreement. For example:
These results agree with the findings of X's research …
Other contexts in which phrases expressing agreement appear in scientific
literature include making assumptions or conclusions.:
Assumption It is generally agreed that …
Conclusion In the previous chapter, we agreed to …
a. What language can I use to express agreement?
The following verbs and phrases express varying degrees of agreement. Verbs
such as agree are normally used in the active form with a personal subject
(except in the examples given above).
69
We entirely agree with his views on …
We are in complete agreement with …
We would (strongly) endorse X's opinion on …
Our findings support those of … We would agree with X in principle, but … By and large, we accept what X says, but …
b. How can I express disagreement There are a variety of verbs and other phrases for expressing disagreement. In particular, some phrases are useful when refuting, or arguing against, another scholar's findings.
We completely disagree with X on this point.
We are in total disagreement with … (Regretfully), we are unable to accept X's conclusion that …
We are not at all convinced by X's argument that …
We have to say that X's argument is somewhat
unconvincing.
Some linking phrases for contradicting what someone else has written:
In actual fact, … In point of fact, … On the contrary, …
Here are some phrases for expressing partial or tentative disagreement:
We agree with X's findings up to a point, but … X may be right in certain respects, but our findings show that … We respect X's work in this area, but our initial conclusions indicate that …

42. GRAMMAR FOCUS: So, Neither, Too And Either
SO, NEITHER, TOO AND EITHER
a. ‗So do I‘ and ‗neither do I‘ I use ‗so do I‘ to say that a positive sentence is also true for me, and I use ‗neither do I‘ to say that a negative sentence is also true for me: • John: I hate mushrooms. • Me: So do I (=I also hate mushrooms). • Lucy: I don‘t live in London. • Me: Neither do I (=I also don‘t live in London. For example, maybe Lucy and I both live in Paris). This is often used as a reply to someone else in a conversation, but both sentences can also be said by the same person, and even joined together: • Me: Elizabeth loves coffee. So do I. • Me: Harry doesn‘t play the piano and neither do I. In my examples above, I use ‗do‘ because the first sentence is in the present simple tense. The verb after ‗so‘ or ‗neither‘ changes depending on the tense of the verb in the first sentence. (This is very similar to tag questions). Present simple: use ‗do / does‘
Lucy likes coffee. So do I. Lucy doesn‘t like coffee. Neither do I.
Present simple with ‗be‘: use ‗am / is / are‘
John‘s at the office. So am I. John isn‘t at the office. Neither am I.
Present continuous: use ‗am / is / are‘
Luke‘s going out tonight. So am I. Luke isn‘t going out tonight. Neither am I.
Past Simple: use ‗did‘
Jill went to the cinema yesterday. So did I. Jill didn‘t go to the cinema yesterday. Neither did I. Past simple with ‗be‘:
use ‗was / were‘ She was at the library. So was I. She wasn‘t at the library. Neither was I.
Present perfect: use ‗have / has‘
They‘ve been to Colombia. So have I. They haven‘t been to Colombia. Neither have I. Future simple:
use ‗will‘ Edward will be at the cafe later. So will I. Edward won‘t be at the cafe later. Neither will I. Modal verbs:
repeat the modal verb He would like a cup of tea. So would I. He wouldn‘t like a cup of tea. Neither would I. Emma can speak Russian. So can I. Emma can‘t speak Russian. Neither can I.
b. What about ‗too‘ and ‗either‘? We can also use ‗I do too‘ and ‗I don‘t either‘, which mean the same as ‗so do I‘ and ‗neither do I‘: • John: I hate mushrooms. • Me: I do too (=I also hate mushrooms). • Lucy: I don‘t live in London. • Me: I don‘t either (=I also don‘t live in London). The verb changes in the same way as with ‗so do I‘ and ‗neither do I‘ (remember you need a negative verb with ‗either‘):
71
Present simple : John‘s at the office. I am too. Present continuous : Luke isn‘t going out tonight. I’m not either. Present perfect : They‘ve been to Colombia. I have too. Modal verbs : Emma can‘t speak Russian. I can’t either. c. ‗Me too‘ and ‗me neither‘: We can also use ‗me too‘ and ‗me neither‘. ‗Me too‘ has the same meaning as ‗so + auxiliary verb + I‘ and ‗me neither‘ has the same meaning as ‗neither + auxiliary verb + I‘. ‗Me too‘ and ‗me neither‘ are very informal. • John: I hate mushrooms. • Me: Me too (=I also hate mushrooms). • Lucy: I don‘t live in London. • Me: Me neither (=I also don‘t live in London). d. Subjects other than ‗I‘: Of course, we can also use these expressions to talk about what‘s true for other people, not just ourselves: • John: I hate mushrooms. • Me: So does Laura / Laura does too / Laura too. • Lucy: I don‘t live in London. • Me: Neither does David / David doesn‘t either / David neither.
Some more examples:
We live in London and so do they.
Emma loves tennis. Jill and Laura do too.
My parents don‘t come here often. Neither does Alex.
She isn‘t French and neither is he.
You don‘t like cold weather. Neither do we.

BAB XI SUMMARY, PARAPHRASING AND QUOTING
44. UMUM.
Pada bab ini menjelaskan tentang Summary, Paraphrasing or sentences
based on the English concept and Quoting sentence or paragraph. Juga dibahas
grammar focus dan listening.
45. SUMMARY, PARAPHRASING AND QUOTING
a. Summary
A summary is a condensation of the main ideas in an article or in a
section of someone else's writing. A summary may stand alone, for example as a
similar piece of writing to an abstract. Or it may simply form a section within a
longer piece of your writing. The aim of a summary is to give your readers a
clear, objective, accurate and balanced account of an article they may, or may
not, have not read, and to put it into the context of your own work.
Summarizing therefore is a skill that involves picking out the key ideas
in someone else's writing and linking them up in your own words.
1) What is the difference between summarizing and paraphrasing?
There are clear similarities between the two since both involve the re-
writing of an author's ideas in your own words. (See Section Paraphrasing)
However, the main differences are:
a) a summary is likely to be shorter. Whereas paraphrasing may
involve keeping more or less to the same length as the original, a
summary could be the reduction of a long paragraph to a sentence,
an article to a paragraph or a book to a page.
b) a summary will keep to the structure and content of the original
more closely than a paraphrase. The latter is more likely to include
your personal gloss or interpretation of the original; in a summary
you should avoid adding extra information or ideas that are not
actually in the text you have read.
2) When is summary writing useful?
Apart from the need to summarize other writers' ideas at particular
points when writing a research paper, the skill is valuable in these
situations:
a) when reviewing an article or book
b) when annotating a bibliography entry
75
c) when preparing an abstract
In addition, of course, it is useful to develop the skill by keeping summary
'note cards' on other works that you read. In particular, this will help you
to avoid plagiarism, since by writing from notes you will be presenting
information in your own words.
3) Are there any guidelines for summary writing?
a) Read the whole of the original text quickly to gain an impression
of its content and its relevance to your work.
b) Highlight the main points as you read.
c) Make notes of your own on these points.
d) Put away the original and rewrite your notes in your own words in
complete sentences.
e) Begin your summary with a statement of the main idea at the
start. Don't forget to include referencing of your source.
f) Using your notes, write out your subsidiary or supporting
points in coherent, well- connected sentences.
g) Re-read your work to check that you have included all the information
that you need.
4) Sample summary
The main points in the text below can be written in a shorter, summary form for
inclusion in your own writing. Points about the summary:
a) it is about one third of the length of the original (88 words,
compared to 273 in the original
b) the number of sentences has been reduced from 16 to 4.
c) the information has been compressed into these 4 sentences by
* cutting out less important information, e.g., examples.
* reducing a whole clause or sentence to a phrase.
* by using more subordinate clauses.
* linking ideas by simple use of commas.

Original text
Solar power is energy generated from the sun. Many electronic devices, such as watches and calculators, can use the sun's energy directly to provide the power they need. Light energy from the sun changes the electrical conducting properties of the silicon crystals, and a tiny electric current starts to flow. This system is called a solar cell. Although solar cells used on earth do not provide much power, satellites in space run on the same principle. They get many times more energy because they are closer to the sun. In the future, workers in space may build huge power stations from solar cells many kilometers wide. The electricity generated could be beamed down as microwaves and then converted back into electricity. Most of the solar power that we use today is based on a much simpler principle than the silicon solar cell. Solar panels on the roofs of houses heat water directly for bathing and central heating systems. The industrial version of the solar panel is the solar furnace, in which huge, curved solar panels, together with a system of mirrors, concentrate a large amount of solar energy onto a small area. The heat energy makes steam for generating electricity. Solar power is clean, renewable, non-polluting and does not damage the environment. It is potentially one of the more important sources of energy in the world. A major disadvantage of solar energy is that the amount of energy generated depends on the season, the part of the world and the weather on a particular day. Another disadvantage is that the raw materials for solar panels, such as glass and aluminum, are quite expensive.
from Dr Trisha Greenhalgh (1994) Environment Today Harlow, Longman
Sample summary Dr Greenhalgh explains how solar power works in two ways. Light from the sun can generate a tiny current in silicon crystals, creating a solar cell, which is used to run space satellites and, in the future, could provide electricity from space power stations. Solar panels, or the larger industrial solar furnace, generate heat directly through concentrating solar energy in a small area. Solar power is renewable, non-polluting, and potentially an important energy source, but its value is limited by weather, region and the cost of raw materials.
Points to check in your own writing.
In my summary, is there a clear thesis statement (with the writer's main
idea)?
Does it give a reader who has not read the original a clear idea of what it
said?
Does it include the writer's other main supporting points? Have I cut
out unnecessary detail and examples?
Does the finished summary have the same balance of ideas as the original
text?
Is it written in simpler language than the original?
Do the ideas in the?
77
b. Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing means expressing the thought, meaning and attitude of
another author in your own words, in a clear and straightforward way. It is
therefore similar to quoting, but it is done indirectly, without using the original
writer's actual words or speech marks. With paraphrasing, you avoid continuous
strings of direct quotations and are able to maintain your own style and tone of
writing. However, as with direct quoting, it is essential that you do proper
referencing for all your paraphrases.
With a paraphrase, your aim is to relate what the author has said to your
own piece of work, and this often requires you to provide an interpretation, or
gloss, on their ideas in some way, to make them fit into your argument. A
paraphrase is not just a simple re-wording of the original.
1) How long should a paraphrase be?
There is no set length, as it depends on how much of a writer's work you
want to refer to, and in how much detail. In some cases, paraphrasing may
simply involve reducing, or summarizing, what the original writer has said into a
single sentence:
The first published professional response to ape language studies was an article
by Jacob Bronowski and Ursula Bellugi (1970). They argued that although
chimpanzees might be able to use reference, they could not break grammatical
units down to their units and recombine them (a process they called
'reconstitution').
It may give a more detailed description of a writer's argument, consisting of
a paragraph or more:
Levins (1968) used fitness sets to identify the optimal genetic strategy in response
to environmental variation. The optimal genetic strategy is not determined solely by
the nature of the environmental heterogeneity but partly by the perception of that
heterogeneity. For example, it is very unlikely that …. The general conclusion of
these analyses of fitness sets was that fine-grained species would evolve a
strategy of monomorphism, whereas coarse-grained species would maintain
polymorphism.
2) Language to use to introduce paraphrases
You can use the same 'reporting' verbs for paraphrasing as are given in
Section 4.8 on Quoting. In particular, verbs that reflect the original writer's
purpose or attitude towards his/her subject are useful when paraphrasing, e.g.
X identifies … as …
X defends his position by arguing that ….
X attacks his opponents with his statement that …
X affirms his opinion that …
78
Note that the 'reporting' verb can be followed by that … (or this can be
omitted). Punctuation: there is no comma before or after that:
Fred Hein explains that each person's heredity is unique, except for
identical twins.
The normal grammatical rules for writing indirect speech apply:
* When the reporting verb is in the past tense, the verb tense in the reported
clause, together with pronouns and time phrases may also have to be changed to
indicate the correct time references.
MacSpratt (6) found that when sheep were deficient in nitrogen, the rate of mitosis
in wool follicles was 63% of normal and concluded that nitrogen is essential to
normal growth of wool.
Note that the last verb is is in the present tense: this is because the writer is
generalizing or making a conclusion about what he regards as a general truth. If
the writer knows that later work found this conclusion to be false, he will use
was instead.
You can also use the other introductory phrases given in the section on
quoting. These in fact are more commonly used with indirect quotations than
with direct ones.
With indirect quotations, you can also simply put the name of the source at
the end of the paraphrase, without any 'reporting' verb or introductory phrase:
Changes in the surface heating of the earth will result in changes in the heating
of the atmosphere which in turn can affect the climate (Cohen, 1994).
c. Quoting
When writing a research paper or report, it is normal to include references
and quotations from the work of others. This is for one or more of the following
reasons:
to cite evidence or opinions from an authority on the subject in support of
your argument
to put forward someone else's viewpoint that you intend to argue against
to show the range of source materials you have used to support or
challenge your own ideas
to acknowledge that your arguments derive from the work of others and
thereby put them into their academic context.
79
What kinds of quotation are there?
Quotations in your text can either be.
direct: that is, you use the actual words of the original writer, or
indirect: that is, you paraphrase what the original source says by putting
the ideas in your own words.
In general, it is preferable to use the indirect, or paraphrasing, method since this
incorporates the other author's ideas better into the flow of your own text.
However, there are occasions when direct quotations are better:
when the author expresses an idea in a particularly succinct or memorable
way that it is impossible to improve on it
when the writer is such an important authority on the subject that his/her
actual words are significant
when you want to avoid any ambiguity about the quoted ideas
Language to use to introduce quotations.
There are a wide variety of 'reporting' verbs and verb phrases that you can
use to introduce a quotation. Here are some of the more common ones.
acknowledge … admit … allege … argue …
assert … assume … believe … claim …
conclude … contend … demonstrate … describe …
emphasize explain … imply … indicate …
make the point … observe … point out … postulate
…
predict … propose … prove … report …
say … show … state … suggest …
think … write.
Be careful about the verb tenses of these verbs:
1) If you use MLA Style, you should put the verbs in the present tense both
for personal comments and for quotations.
2) If you use APA style (more common for the natural sciences), you should
put the verbs in the past tense for citations, and only use the present tense for
generalizations and statements about unchanging facts. (See the example
quotations above).
You can introduce your citation with any of these longer phrases:
80
According to X, …
As X has shown, …
For X, …
In X's view, …
By this, X meant …
X was of the opinion that …
X distinguished between … and …
X characterised / considered / defined / recognised / referred to / regarded
… as …
X illustrated his / her argument by saying / stating / showing that …
X laid particular emphasis on …
X makes the following claim / point / statement: …
X put forward the theory that …
Referring to …, X said / stated / showed …
46. GRAMMAR FOCUS: Conditional Sentence.
CONDITIONAL SENTENCE
Conditional sentence adalah sebuah kalimat pengandaian dalam bahasa
Inggris. Tapi conditional sentence ini ada beberapa jenis, penggunaannya
tergantung pada fungsi Kalimatnya. Pada dasarnya, conditional sentence terdiri
dari 2 klausa, if clause dan main Clause. Bentuk tenses kedua klausa ini bisa
berubah berdasarkan jenis conditional sentence yang kamu pakai.
Ada 4 tipe conditional sentence, yaitu:
a. Conditional Sentence Tipe 0
Conditional sentence ini digunakan untuk menggambarkan fakta atau
kebenaran umum yang sudah pasti. Misalnya, jika kamu memanaskan air, air
itu akan mendidih. Sudah pasti terjadi bukan?
Untuk conditional tipe ini, rumusnya adalah sebagai berikut:
If + simple present tense, simple present tense
Contoh:
If you heat water, it boils. (Jika kamu memanaskan air, airnya akan
mendidih.)
If you freeze water, it becomes ice. (Jika kamu membekukan air, airnya
akan menjadi es.)
b. Conditional Sentence Tipe 1
Conditional tipe 1 digunakan untuk menggambarkan situasi yang mungkin
atau diandaikan terjadi di masa depan dan memiliki kemungkinan yang besar
untuk benar-benar terjadi. Rumusnya adalah sebagai berikut:
81
If + simple present tense, simple future
Contoh:
If you study, you will pass the exam. (Jika kamu belajar, kamu akan lulus
ujian.)
If you wash your hands, you won’t get sick.(Jika kamu cuci tangan, kamu
tidak akan sakit.)
Dalam kedua kalimat di atas, berarti ada kemungkinan situasi tersebut tidak
terjadi. Misalnya kalaupun belajar, bisa saja tetap tidak lulus. Atau walaupun
cuci tangan, tetap bisa sakit. Namun, masih ada kemungkinan besar bahwa
kamu akan lulus ujian (kalimat pertama) dan tidak sakit (kalimat kedua).
c. Conditional Sentence Tipe 2
Berbeda sedikit dari conditional tipe 1, conditional tipe 2 digunakan untuk
menggambarkan situasi yang tidak realistis atau memiliki kemungkinan yang
sangat kecil untuk terjadi. Misalnya membayangkan sesuatu yang tidak
mungkin atau berangan-angan. Rumus conditional tipe 2 adalah sebagai
berikut:
If + past tense, would + infinitive
Contoh:
If I were you, I would rest right now. (Jika aku adalah kamu, aku akan
beristirahat sekarang.)
If you owned a theme park, what would you do? (Jika kamu mempunyai
taman hiburan, apa yang akan kamu lakukan?)
Dalam kalimat pertama, jelas situasi tersebut tidak realistis. Tidak mungkin
‗aku‘ bisa menjadi ‗kamu‘. Dalam kalimat kedua, ada kemungkinan ‗kamu‘ akan
memiliki taman hiburan, tapi kemungkinan tersebut sangat kecil.
Yang juga perlu diperhatikan adalah penggunaan ‗were‘ dalam kalimat pertama.
Kamu mungkin bertanya, I bukannya pakai ‗was‘ ya? Nah, dalam conditional
sentence tipe 2, semua subjek baik itu tunggal atau jamak semuanya
menggunakan were. Jadi was sama sekali tidak dipakai ya.
Kata would juga bisa diganti dengan beberapa auxiliary verb lainnya seperti
could atau might.
d. Conditional Sentence Tipe 3
Kalau dari conditional tipe 1 dan 2 membicarakan kondisi yang belum
terjadi, conditional tipe 3 digunakan untuk merujuk ke masa lalu dan berandai-
andai bagaimana situasi saat ini bisa berbeda jika yang terjadi di masa lalu
berbeda. Rumusnya adalah sebagai berikut:
If + past perfect, would have + V3
82
Contoh:
If I had done my homework, I would have been able to play now. (Jika saja
saya sudah mengerjakan PR saya, saya sekarang bisa bermain.)
If she hadn’t tried, she wouldn’t have gotten the scholarship. (Jika saja dia
tidak mencoba, dia tidak akan mendapatkan beasiswa.)
Artinya, klausa utama dalam kedua kalimat di atas tidak benar-benar terjadi.
‗Saya‘ tidak bisa bermain sekarang karena nyatanya belum mengerjakan PR.
‗Dia‘ nyatanya mendapatkan beasiswa karena dia telah mencoba.
Kalau dirangkum, rumus keempat tipe conditional sentence adalah sebagai
berikut:
47. LISTENING

BAB XII INTRODUCING TO A RESEARCH PAPER
48. UMUM.
Pada bab ini menjelaskan tentang introducing to a research paper, reading text,
grammar focus and listening.
49. INTRODUCING TO A RESEARCH PAPER
Research papers are generally written for scientists working in the same field and
therefore have a more limited, and more specialized, readership than articles.
Research papers can appear in specialist journals or be presented at conferences.
The structure of a research paper
A research paper has a more closely defined structure than an article or essay.
There are normally 8 sections in a research paper or scientific report, and these
tend to follow each other in a fixed sequence. Obviously, these may vary,
depending on the nature of the research done. Each element is further described
and explained in Chapter 2 Composition.
Title
It must precisely describe the report‘s contents. The purpose of a piece of
scientific writing is to present information clearly and concisely so that it can be
easily understood. Clarity therefore begins with the title. In scientific and
technical writing, a poetic or stylized title does not help the reader at all. For
example, the following title
The Kopje Drummers of the Karoo
does not tell the reader that the paper is about birds, woodpeckers to be exact.
However, this title
The mating rituals of Geocolaptes olivaceus, South Africa‘s Ground Woodpecker
tells the reader very clearly what the subject of the paper is. Elements in a title
In technical and scientific writing, the title is a precise description of the
contents. It should include specific words to indicate the following:
the topic, that is, the main, general subject you are writing about.
the focus, that is, a detailed narrowing down of the topic into the
particular, limited area of your research
optionally, for a scientific article, the purpose of your writing. This means
including a word such as the following, which tells the reader what kind of
84
argumentation to expect:
An analysis of … An assessment of … A comparison of …
A description of … A discussion of … An evaluation of …
An explanation of … An outline of … Some sample titles:
purpose topic focus
An analysis of
carp culture management
as a tool for Mexican crayfish conservation. An overview
of nutritional needs before, during and after an
endurance event. A discussion of
genetic engineering technology
and its effects on the environment. An evaluation of
sewage treatment as a tool in environmental protection.
Punctuation of titles: capital letters • It is clearer to type your title in lower case rather than in capital letters. • Use capital letters for the first letter of all the main words in the
title, including nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, longer prepositions, conjunctions
• Do not use capital letters for short structural words (except when they are the first word of the title), such as articles (a, an, the), short prepositions (of, in, to ,at), coordinating conjunctions (and, or, nor, but, for)
Points to check in your own writing.
Be precise and concise; strive for clarity and avoid terms with
multiple meanings which might lead to misunderstanding.
Use key words from the paper to inform readers of the content but
try not to choose too many technical words as this will not attract a
wider audience.
Titles stand alone; they are not a part of the opening sentence or
paragraph.

How Geothermal Energy Works
Geothermal electricity are power plants that use geothermal energy as an
energy source. To generate electricity with geothermal done by drilling the
ground in areas that have geothermal potential, to make holes of hot gas that will
be used to heat the boilers (boilers) so that the steam can drive the steam turbine
connected to a generator. For geothermal that has high pressure, can directly
rotate the turbine generator, after the steam that came out cleaned first.
Geothermal power plants, however, use steam produced from reservoirs of hot
water found a couple of miles or more below the Earth's surface. There are three
types of geothermal power plants: dry steam, flash steam, and binary cycle.
The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces
electricity. Many power plants still use fossil fuels to boil water for steam.
Geothermal power plants, however, use steam produced from reservoirs of hot
water found a couple of miles or more below the Earth's surface.
Water or working fluid is heated (or used directly incase of geothermal dry
steam power plants), and then sent through a steam turbine where the thermal
energy (heat) is converted to electricity with a generator through a phenomenon
called electromagnetic induction.
Indonesia – 1,197 MW.
Mexico – 958 MW.
Italy – 843 MW.
New Zealand – 628 MW.
Iceland – 575 MW.
Japan – 536 MW.
El Salvador – 204 MW.
Kenya – 167 MW.
Currently, two types of geothermal resources can be used in binary cycle power
plants to generate electricity: enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) and low-
temperature or co-produced resources.
86
How Geothermal Energy Works.
Heat from the earth can be used as an energy source in many ways, from
large and complex power stations to small and relatively simple pumping
systems. Many regions of the world are already tapping geothermal energy as an
affordable and sustainable solution to reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and
the global warming and public health risks that result from their use. For
example, as of 2013 more than 11,700 megawatts (MW) of large, utility-scale
geothermal capacity was in operation globally, with another 11,700 MW in
planned capacity additions on the way. These geothermal facilities produced
approximately 68 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, enough to meet the annual
needs of more than 6 million typical U.S. households. Geothermal plants account
for more than 25 percent of the electricity produced in both Iceland and El
Salvador.
Geothermal power stations are similar to other steam turbine thermal
power stations – heat from a fuel source (in geothermal's case, the earth's core) is
used to heat water or another working fluid. The working fluid is then used to
turn a turbine of a generator, thereby producing electricity.
We can also use geothermal energy to make electricity. A geothermal power
plant works by tapping into steam or hot water reservoirs underground; the heat
is used to drive an electrical generator. Most geothermal plants are located in the
western United States, where hot water reservoirs are common.
The three basic designs for geothermal power plants: dry steam, flash steam, and
binary cycle. Image: U.S. Department of Energy
Answer the following questions briefly.
1. How energy is produced from geothermal?
2. How the work of geothermal energy?
3. What is the geothermal energy?
4. How does a geothermal power plant work?
87
5. What countries that use geothermal energy?
51. GRAMMAR FOCUS: Imperatives Sentence
IMPERATIVES SENTENCE
Imperative sentence merupakan adalah sentence type (tipe kalimat) yang
digunakan untuk membuat perintah (command), peringatan (warning), instruksi
(instruction), nasihat (advice), juga permintaan (request).
Ciri umum dari imperative sentence yang tertulis adalah ada akhiran
berupa exclamation mark (!), atau mengandung kata please.
Namun, kalimat perintah ini juga bisa saja tidak mengandung keduanya.
Pada dasarnya, imperative sentence tidak akan ditemukan subyek kalimat, sebab
subyek you sebagai penerima perintah sudah tersirat di dalamnya.
Kalimat perintah yang menggunakan tanda seru mungkin bisa dikatakan
mirip dengan exclamatory sentence atau kalimat seruan dalam Bahasa Inggris.
Namun, ada perbedaan signifikan yaitu tidak semua exclamatory berisi
perintah atau command. Jika ada tanda seru dalam imperative sentence sudah
jelas menunjukkan perintah atau tekanan kepada lawan bicara.
Walaupun kalimat perintah identik dengan tanda seru, ada juga kalimat
perintah yang berisi kalimat tanya atau question tag. Pada tipe kalimat ini,
biasanya membutuhkan jawaban ya dan tidak.
Selain itu, ada juga tipe kalimat perintah yang diakhiri tanda titik seperti
layaknya kalimat pernyataan lainnya. Perbedaannya ada di makna kalimat itu
sendiri.
Jadi, untuk membedakan mana imperative sentence dengan kalimat biasa,
bisa diidentifikasi dari isi kalimat bukan tanda bacanya. Imperative
sentence yang menggunakan tanda seru atau exclamatory mark mungkin sedikit
mirip dengan exclamatory sentence alias kalimat seruan. Bedanya, tidak
semua exclamatory sentence berisi perintah. Tanda seru dalam imperative
sentence menunjukkan tekanan dalam perintah.
Contoh Penggunaan Imperative Sentence
Untuk memudahkan kamu dalam belajar materi imperative sentence, mari cek
contohnya di bawah ini yang dibedakan sesuai dengan fungsinya.

NANO TECHNOLOGY History of Nano Technology
The first concept introduced by Richard Feynman in December 1959. Richard Feynman was a Physicist and in 1965 won a Nobel prize in Physicist. Nano technology was first invented by Prof Norio Taniguchi from Tokyo Science University in 1974. What is Nano technology?
90
Nano technology is the manufacture and use of material or a device on a small size very small I think. Material or a device occur on 1 until 100 nanometers. One nanometer it‘s mean same with 1 million meters (0,00000001 m). It‘s mean 50000 smaller from human‘s hairs. The scientists said 1 until 100nm as Nano scale, and the material as Nano crystals. Nano scale can be said unique, why? because there‘s not solid structure can be minimized. Other unique things are biological mechanisms will go on 0,1 till 100 nm. On this dimensions the material shows different behavior, so the scientists hope finds a new effect on Nano scale and give new steps for technology.
The progress of Nano technology can find in the product on the world. For the example is modifying catalysts on vehicles that reduce air pollutants, device on the computer can read and write to hard disk, cosmetics can block the danger of solar radiation, and sports equipment can improve appearance of the athlete. And now the scientists sure that they uncover potential from Nano technology.
Nowadays, Nano technology is growing, and everyone can‘t prediction how grow for the future. Although the scientists sure that Nano technology will bring an important effect for health, production, electronics, computer, censors, security and defense of the world. The development of Nano Technology in Indonesia
In Indonesia, we also do not to lose. PT. Dirgantara Indonesia, in cooperation with Aerospace Electronics Technology Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Agency ( LAPAN ), designed a Nano satellite called Indonesian Nano-Satellite (Inasat-1). With smaller size and more efficient, it will have a positive impact for our technology. The nation doesn‘t dominate technology will be an audience and will be left behind from other countries. Nano technology will give an effect steel industry, decoration, polymer industry, sport, military, transportation, medical, electronics and beauty. Nano technology ruler‘s will allow a variety way for give value-added a product even creating value for a product.
QUESTION
1. Who is the first person that introduce nano technology ?
2. Why is the nano scale can be said unique ?
3. Mention impotant effect from Nano technology !
4. How is size nano scale ?
5. What is the advantage of Nano Technology ?
