PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE

Can't say anything now. Don't know what to say....... ㅠㅠ

>>>Definition: Prepositions are the words that indicate location. At the minimum, a prepositional phrase will begin with a preposition and end with a noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause, the "object" of the preposition.


>>>The Pattern



  • Noun: is words that identify the whos, wheres, and whats in language. Nouns name people, places, and things.
  • Gerund: Every gerund, without exception, ends in ing. Gerunds are not, however, all that easy to identify. The problem is that all present participles also end in ing. What is the difference?
    Gerunds function as nouns. Thus, gerunds will be subjects, subject complements, direct objects, indirect objects, and object of preposition.
  • Pronoun: is often defined as a word which can be used instead of a noun.  For example, instead of saying John is a student, the pronoun he can be used in place of the noun John and the sentence becomes He is a student.
  • Clause:  Clauses come in four types: main [or independent], subordinate [or dependent], adjective [or relative], and noun. Every clause has at least a subject and a verb.
  • Modifiers: are words, phrases, or clauses that provide description in sentences

>>>Here are some Prepositional Words


PS: *But (look at the table) >>> But is very seldom as preposition. When it is used as a preposition, But means the same as except. Example, "Everyone ate cow meats but Amy."
But usually functions as coordinating conjunction. (kata BUT, sangat jarang digunain sebagai preposition. Kalau kata tersebut dipake, artinya akan sama seperti except. contoh: "Semua orang memakan daging sapi kecuali Amy." But biasanya berfungsi sebagai  coordinating conjuction.)


>>>Examples

1. Under the warm blanket
Under = Preposition; The,Warm = Modifiers; Blanket = Noun.

2. At school
At = Preposition; School = Noun

3. Baekhyun is being with me.
With = Preposition; me = Pronoun

4. They swam in the swimming pool at school.
In = Preposition; The = Modifier; Swimming pool = gerund


What else?? Just make the sentence by your self.............. GOOD LUCK!!! :-D

ADVERTISEMENT

Advertisement. Pertama kali denger kata ini, pasti yang kebayang dibenak kita adalah iklan-iklan yang the most of them appear in TV. Tapi, kebanyakan yang terjadi, saat iklan itu muncul atau tayang di TV, pasti the most people especially me, change it into different channel. In fact, inilah yang sering terjadi.
Apa sih, pentingnya IKLAN or ADVERTISMENT? For example nih guys, a view months ago, my teacher Mr. Erwanto gave my class the task of making VIDEO ADS (Video Iklan). yah, dari situlah aku baru sadar the important of watching Advertisement on TV. haha.
Anyway, kali ini aku bakalan sharing tentang Advertisement, so enjoy....


>>>Definition: Advertisement is an informatin for persuading and motivating people. So, that they will attract to the service and the thing that are offered or informed


>>>Function:

A. To Differentiate The Product from Their Competitors


An important function of advertising is the identification function, that is, to identify a product and differentiate it from others; this creates an awareness of the product and provides a basis for consumers to choose the advertised product over other products this creates an awareness of the product and provides a basis for consumers to choose the advertised product over other products.
The identification function of advertising includes the ability of advertising to differentiate a product so that it has its own unique identity or personality.


There are four additional ways to differentiate your offering from the competition and increase your differentiation: leveraging the brand, innovating your service offering, as well as designing product and packaging in a way that creates an aesthetic beyond the functional. None of these methods are expensive. All are ways that can increase your perceived value to the customer and increase your market share.


Example: GARNIER FRUTICS (shampoo) the shampoo bottle have the different color from all other shampoo available in the shelf. The bottle of the shampoo is unique from all others.
B. To Communicate Product Information



Another function of advertising is to communicate information about the product, its attributes, and its location of sale; this is the information function. Product information communicated to the customers in manner that meets their information needs. Most consumers tend to discount the information in advertising because they understand that the purpose of the advertising is to persuade. Making an advertising message believable is not easy; though often it is sufficient to make the consumer curious enough to try the product. Such curiosity is often referred to as interested disbelief. Advertisers use a variety of devices to increase the believability of their advertising: celebrities or experts who are the spokespersons for the product, user testimonials, product demonstrations, research results, and endorsements.

Example: 
Ponds age miracle, in that ad the celebrity HADIQA KAYANI is informing the consumers about the benefits of it. That how the old women can look younger by using it continuously. It will make you fair cream plus it reduces freckles plus it can be used as a sun block as well it will make you look young.



C. 
To Urge Product Used





The third function of advertising is to induce consumers to try new products and to suggest reuse of the product as well as new uses; this is the persuasion function.
The basic function of advertising is to provide constant reminders and reinforcements to generate the desired behavior the advertiser wants from them. This is a particularly effective function in the long run as reminders and reinforcements register in the consumers' minds, becoming the base on which they shape their future decisions. Sampling in the way to urge the product using.
Example: Fair and lovely as we know that it will make a girl look fair and prettier in 4 weeks.
Example: Neutrogena acne treatment cream will remove your pimple is 24 hours. NEUTROGENA say no to pimples!!

D. 
To Expand The Product Distribution



When the consumer comes to know about the particular product from the advertisement he/she wants to try that new product. They go to shops to buy the product; if the new product is not available in a shop then the shopkeeper consults the distributor to make that product available in his shop. It is basically to provide the product all over market. It is necessary to make sure that product should be accessible to everyone. Availability of product effect the distribution.


Example: Wateen telecom and Motorola Partner to Expand Distribution of Videoconferencing Product Line in Pakistan. So as many people are getting to know about this facility they are running towards the franchises to avail it. So for that Wateen should expand their distribution all around the cities.

E. To Increase Brand Preference and Loyalty



Marketing is a moving thing. As your needs are changed your preferences are changed. When the product delivers the promised quality, service and value, it creates satisfied customers who become instrumental in spreading a favorable word-of-mouth. Satisfied customers also develop brand preference; each product features and uses are written on the product.


Example: 99% girls who are not married will not look at the ad of pampers or any milk powder for children but when they will get married their interest will automatically move towards such ads.



F. Brand Loyalty



Brand loyalty is a long-term customer preference for a particular product or service. Brand loyalty can be produced by factors such as customer satisfaction with the performance or price of a specific product or service, or through identifying with a brand image. It can be encouraged by advertising.
People often make purchasing decisions based on how a brand makes them feel emotionally rather than based on quality or other objective evaluations. If "Just Do it" strikes a chord with an athlete, he'll buy Nike; the decision may have little to do with quality.


Example: For instance, when one buys a tube of Colgate toothpaste and finds it ok, one will not have to spend any valuable time on looking for other toothpaste brands.

G. To Reduce Overall Sales Cost



When a product is selling you have to teach the people about the product.


Like if we would advertise through newspapers, TV, broachers and internet, it would cater huge sum of masses and if you do individually it would be more costly and time consuming.


Example: Coke targets their consumers on a very large scale through mass media whereas Makka cola advertise on smaller scale or go door to door to advertise their product.

H. Creates New Demands



Advertising have to create new demands they should educate the people about more and more new things coming up in the market. Each year new products, including line extensions and new brands are introduced into groceries and drugstores.


Example: Wateen telecom is offering wireless internet chips, video conferencing and WIMAX services as they are introducing new services in market its creating new demands.

PERFECT TENSE

My teacher ever asked me something like this, "Change into English, 'Dia (laki-laki) telah datang kemari'." Bingung banget, soalnya waktu itu baru-barunya ngambil english course and langsung loncat ke intermediate and i didn't take the basic because my mother said the basic was just easy. haha. Balik lagi nih guys, aku malah nanya lagi ke guru ku itu, "sir, what tense?" terus dia jawab, "ow, Indonesian doesn't have tense like English, there is no tense." inget banget deh kata-katanya. wow~ dan karena diriku nggak bisa jawab *how pity* finally, my teacher told me that it was PRESENT PERFECT TENSE. Dan bahasa inggrisnya 'Dia (laki-laki) telah datang kemari' is......... He has come here *clap clap clap your hands* Pendek banget kan?

I. PRESENT PERFECT

>>>Definition: This tense is used to express an action beginning in the past, but the action still related in the mind of speaker with the moment of speaking. (kira-kira artinya: tense ini digunakan untuk menerangkan atau menceritakan kejadian yang terjadi pada waktu lampau, tetapi masih berkaitan pada pikiran si pembicara)
Nah, biar gampangnya lagi, biasanya aku lebih make (menggunakan) tense ini untuk suatu hal yang baru aja terjadi.

The Pattern:




II. PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS

>>>Definition: This tense is used to express the action beginning in the past and still continuing up to the moment of speaking. (tense ini dipakai untuk menerangkan kegiatan pada waktu lampau dan masih berlanjut hingga saat diucapkan)

The Pattern:



III. PAST PERFECT

>>>Definition: This tense is used to express something had already happened before this time. ( tense ini digunakan untuk menerangkan sesuatu yang telah terjadi pada waktu tertentu)

The Pattern:




IV. PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS 

>>>Definition: This tense is used to express the action began before the time of speaking in the past and continued up to the time, or stpped just before it. (digunakan untuk menerangkan kegiatan pada waktu lampau sebelum kegiatan lain terjadi dan masih berlanjut atau berhenti sebelum kejadian itu)

The Pattern:



V. FUTURE PERFECT

>>>Definition: This tense is used to express activities or condition that occur and are completed before another activity or point of time in the future. ( digunakan untuk menyatakan kegiatan atau kondisi yang berlangsung dan telah diselesaikan sebelum kegiatan lain terjadi di masa mendatang)

The Pattern:



VI. FUTURE PERFECT CONTINUOUS

>>>Definition: This tense is used to express activities or condition that existed and it will be going on in the future. (digunakan untuk menyatakan kegiatan atau kondisi yang sudah ada dan akan terjadi dimasa mendatang)

VOCABS: SHAPES AND PATRS OF BODY

yoo guys, sering banget nih ya yang namanya SHAPES (Indonesia: bentuk-bentuk) di sekitar ini sering kali kita abaikan. Padahal, penting banget tuh buat mengetahui apa-apa aja sih, nama-nama bentuk di sekitar kita ini. Misal kalo kita ketemu sama "bule-bule" or stranger di manapun, terus ditanyain soal beginian. Nah, karena kurang mau tau tentang hal yang dianggap sepele gini nih yang bisa mempermalukan diri sendiri dan NEGARA.... -___-

Terus lagi PARTS OF BODY, apa aja sih yang kalian udah pada tau? Be honest aja nih, aku mungkin "kalah" banyak tau VOCABS tentang parts of body ini sama adek sendiri *what a shame >.<*
Tapi untuk speaking, writing, reading, listening sang adek masih kalah. hohoho *still have to be proud*

wow!!! dari pada kebanyakan ngomong, Let's study 'bout that ^0^

II. PARTS OF BODY

 >>>Definition: any part of the body that has some function to us (that's my opinion :-D)


The words below are the most important words used when talking about all things related to the body. 

A. The Body - Arms and Hands

cheek
ear
eye
eyebrow
eyelash
forehead
hair
head
lip
mouth
neck
nose
nostril
jaw
shoulder
tooth (teeth)
tongue
throat

PS: di atas, ada word yaitu "tooth" yang di dalem kurungin menjadi "teeth". Nah, "tooth" disana adalah singular (Indonesia: kata tunggal) sedangkan "teeth" adalah plural (Indonesia: kata jamak)

setau aku nih ya, penggunaan kata plural dalam bahasa inggris misalnya untuk kalimat seperti ini, "I have brushed my teeth" nah, nyambung gak tuh kalo kalimatnya begini, "I have brushed my tooth" yang ada diketawain adek gue *???* kalo menggunakan tooth jika bendanya hanya satu saja atau tunggal. sebaliknya, jika bendanya lebih dari satu, maka menggunakan kata teeth. Berhubung gigi kita lebih dari satu (plural) maka dipakailah kata teeth tersebut *jadi gak sesuai topic, hehe* (semoga bermanfaat)
