ACTIVE AND PASSIVE VOICES

Definisi

Kata kerja transitif mempunyai dua voice (ragam gramatikal),yaitu active voice(aktif) dan passive voice (pasif).

Active voices(Bentuk aktif) yaitu dapat dikatakan disini orang,binatang atau benda yang ditunjukan oleh subjek dikatakan melakukan sesuatu pada sesuatu yang lain.

Passive voices(Bentuk passive) yaitu dapat dikatakan disini orang,binatang atau benda dikatakan menderita sesuatu dari sesuatu yang lain.

Penjelasan

Passive voices (Kalimat Pasif) yaitu kalimat yang subjeknya dikenai pekerjaan. Dalam bahasa Indonesia kalimat ini menggunakan kata kerja yang diawali di (dijual,dipanggil,ditulis dan lain-lain)

Catatan :

Rumus pembuatan kalimat pasif ialah :

Passive voice juga mengikuti waktu/tenses seperti yang dialami oleh kalimat aktif.

Aturan-aturan untuk merubah kalimat dari bentuk aktif menjadi pasif :

• Kalimatnya harus mempunyai objek (transitive verb). Jika tidak ada objek, maka harus ada question word yang menanyakan objek.

• Objek kalimat aktif menjadi subjek kalimat pasif

REPORTED SPEECH

(DIRECT DAN INDIRECT SPEECH)

DEFINISI

Direct speech adalah kata-kata (kalimat) yang diucapkan langsung dari pembicara. Kalimat tersebut tidak diubah atau ditambah.

Indirect speech adalah kata-kata(kalimat) direct speech yang diceritakan kembali dengan cara lain, tetapi tidak mengubah dengan tidak mengulangi lagi pembicaraan.

PENJELASAN

Untuk lebih memahami perbedaan antara direct speeh dengan indirect speech dapat dilihat dari contoh dibawah ini :

• He said : “ I am very hungry” (Direct speech)

• He said that he was very hungry (Indirect speech)

Catatan :

Dari contoh diatas dapat disimpulkan bahwa perbedaan antara direct speech dan indirect speech adalah bahwa dalam direct speech atau kalimat langsung memakai tanda kutip sedangkan dalam indirect speech atau kalimat tidak langsung tanda kutip tidak dipakai.

Direct dan Indirect speech dapat dibagi dalam 3 bagian :

1. Command (Perintah)

2. Statement (Pernyataan)

3. Question (Pertanyaan)

COMMAND

Command terdiri dari 2 jenis :

Positive Command

Negative Command

Positive Command

Dalam pola ini kalimat pengantar dinyatakan dengan kata kerja : tell, ask, advise, etc. Diikuti oleh to infinitive.

Kalimat pengantar :

He asked me to

He told me to + reporter words

He ordered to

contoh-contoh positive command :

Direct : The teacher said to me : “open your book”

Direct : The doctor said to me : ”stay in bed for a few days”

pekerjaan saat ini sangat sulit didapatkan ....

mengapa ? karena saat ini banyak pihak yang mengatakan bahwa, pertama karena lapangan pekerjaan yang sangat terbatas kemudian karena kurangnya kemampuan atau skill dari si pelamar kerja dan kurangnya koneksi atau pihak dalam dari suatu perusahaan

menggaris bawahi pernyataan diatas yaitu "kurangnya koneksi atau pihak dalam dari suatu perusahaan"

apakah pernyataan itu sebuah masalah ?

jelas terlihat bahwa pernyataan itu sebuah masalah menurut saya,, karena pernyataan itu dapat menyebabkan para sipelamar kerja yang tidak mempunyai koneksi atau pihak dalam dari suatu perusahaan menjadi pesimis padahal sipelamar kerja itu tidak tertutup kemungkinan mempunyai kemampuan atau skill…

saya pernah mendapat informasi dari kerabat saya bahwa temannya mudah mendapat kerja Karena mempunyai koneksi dari perusahaan tersebut padahal belum tentu temannya mempunyai kemampuan atau skill ,, lalu bagaimana nasib sipelamar kerja yang mempunyai kemampuan atau skill tapi tidak mempunyai koneksi atau pihak dalam dari suatu perusahaan dimana tempat ia ingin bekerja ???

harusnya perusahaan tersebut tidak mementingkan “system kekeluargaan” lalu kalau sudah begini apa yang harusnya kita lakukan …..

mungin menurut saya pemerintah harus melakukan kebijakan seperti tidak diperbolehkannya atau tidak diberlakukannya “system kekeluargaan” harusnya secara sportif sipelamar kerja harus mengikuti proses interview satu persatu,, mereka yang mempunyai kemampuan atau skill adalah mereka yang berhak mendapat pekerjaan yang sesuai kemampuan mereka.

Tahun 2011 lebih baik atau sebaliknya ???

AKANKAH BANGSA INDONESIA LEBIH BAIK ATAU SEBALIKNYA ???

Tahun baru harapan baru , kata-kata itu mungkin banyak diungkapkan oleh banyak orang dengan berkeyakinan bahwa ditahun baru 2011 ini harapan dan keinginan mereka tercapai dan mempersiapkan planning yang ditahun sebelumnya belum sempat tercapai , mungkin kitapun termasuk orang yang mengungkapkan kata-kata itu. Bukan kita saja yang ingin agar harapan dan segala keinginan kita terwujud ditahun baru 2011 ini, tapi Negara kita Negara Indonesia juga harus mempunyai harapan baru , harapan agar terbebasnya Negara kita dari julukan Negara terkorup, terbebasnya Negara kita dari Negara yang banyak pengangguran dan kemiskinan , Negara yang banyak mempunyai utang kepada Negara lain, masih banyak lagi harapan Negara Indonesia yang belum terwujud di tahun sebelumnya. Lalu apa yang mesti kita lakukan ? apa yang mesti pemerintahan Negara Indonesia lakukan agar bisa membenahi bangsa ini?

Kita tidak tau apa yang akan terjadi esok hari bahkan nanti, begitupun Negara Indonesia kita tidak tahu apakah ditahun 2011 ini kehidupan bangsa Indonesia akan makmur dan sejahtera atau sebaliknya. Negara akan makmur dan sejahtera jika dipimpin oleh orang-orang yang tepat begitupun Bangsa Indonesia ini akan sejahtera jika dibawahi oleh rakyat yang patuh akan peraturan yang benar. Melihat adanya faktor yang saling berkaitan antara pemimpin dan rakyat maka sebagai warga Negara Indonesia kita harus saling mendukung antara satu sama lain bukan saling menjatuhkan, bukan saling mementingkan ego . Bagaimana Negara Indonesia bisa maju atau lebih baik jika rakyat dan pemimpinnya hanya mementingkan diri masing-masing????

Untuk itu melihat di Negara Indonesia masih banyak permasalahan-permasalahan yang tak kunjung usai, mari kita berdoa agar ditahun 2011 ini harapan Negara Indonesia akan tercapai dan Negara Indonesia dapat terlepas dari permasalahan apapun.
