NEW WORLD
This story isn’t about me
Keep an eye on you isn’t so easy
Sometimes I don’t understand the way you think
‘Til I got your world right on me
Your smile is something I really wanna know
The mean of your smile, it makes me feel awkward
Your laugh is something that I’ve missed
Miss that thing gradually

And now you really make me feel lose
When you aren’t around
I hope you will be okay
I do understand your pain
Even I can feel your burden
I can feel you are crying hard
Regret of your flaw
But it could be strength if you made up your mind
I know it never be too late
To change your flaw and becoming the powerful one

THE GIRL WHO LIVED IN DARK WORLD
I passed an abandoned house, it looked so dirty and dark inside. I were goosebumps til I couldn’t say any single word and I decided not to pass that house anymore. Next day, I met a little girl her voice was very smooth and her smile was very beautiful, she greeted me and said who I am and where I am going then I told her I wanted to go to market nearby she looked happy and she wanted to get along with me. I nodded and let her come along, she told me about her family.
She said her family was killed by a stranger and only she left. I were shocked and asking if she was okay and she said she was okay. I offered her to live together with me then she refused, I asked why she refused then she said she had her own house. After went around the market and bought everything that I needed then I went home, I asked her where she lived then she said she lived at Camery rd.
I took her to her house by foot,we were walking together. I asked where her house exactly at then we stopped in front of abandoned house. The house that haunted me and it didn’t only give me nightmare but also it was very scar to remember. I asked her with trembling voice “is it your house?” then she nodded while grining at me, I was so scared and left her running. When running I turned back and found she wasn’t there anymore.

THE THREE LITTLE PIGS
Once upon a time there were three little pigs. One pig built a house of straw while the second pig built his house with sticks. They built their houses very quickly and then sang and danced all day because they were lazy. The third little pig worked hard all day and built his house with bricks.
A big bad wolf saw the two little pigs while they danced and played and thought, “What juicy tender meals they will make!” He chased the two pigs and they ran and hid in their houses. The big bad wolf went to the first house and huffed and puffed and blew the house down in minutes. The frightened little pig ran to the second pig’s house that was made of sticks. The big bad wolf now came to this house and huffed and puffed and blew the house down in hardly any time. Now, the two little pigs were terrified and ran to the third pig’s house that was made of bricks.
The big bad wolf tried to huff and puff and blow the house down, but he could not. He kept trying for hours but the house was very strong and the little pigs were safe inside. He tried to enter through the chimney but the third little pig boiled a big pot of water and kept it below the chimney. The wolf fell into it and died.
The two little pigs now felt sorry for having been so lazy. They too built their houses with bricks and lived happily ever after.




And what is love? It is a doll dressed up
And what is love? It is a doll dressed up
For idleness to cosset, nurse, and dandle;
A thing of soft misnomers, so divine
That silly youth doth think to make itself
Divine by loving, and so goes on
Yawning and doting a whole summer long,
Till Miss's comb is made a perfect tiara,
And common Wellingtons turn Romeo boots;
Till Cleopatra lives at Number Seven,
And Antony resides in Brunswick Square.

Fools! if some passions high have warmed the world,
If queens and soldiers have played deep for hearts,
It is no reason why such agonies
Should be more common than the growth of weeds.
Fools! make me whole again that weighty pearl
The queen of Egypt melted, and I'll say
That ye may love in spite of beaver hats.



My English Assigments Part 2

By : dini safitri
A.    DEGREES OF COMPARISON

Degrees of Comparison are used when we compare one person or one thing with another.

There are three Degrees of Comparison in English.

They are:

1. Positive degree.

2. Comparative degree.

3. Superlative degree.

Let us see all of them one by one.

1.Positive degree.

When we speak about only one person or thing, We use the Positive degree.

Examples:

• This house is big.

In this sentence only one noun “The house" is talked about.

• He is a tall student.

• This flower is beautiful.

• He is an intelligent boy.

Each sentence mentioned above talks about only one noun. 
2.Comparative degree.

When we compare two persons or two things with each other,

We use both the Positive degree and Comparative degree.

Examples:

a. This house is bigger than that one. (Comparative degree)

This house is not as big as that one. (Positive degree)

The term “bigger" is comparative version of the term “big".

Both these sentences convey the same meaning. 
b. This flower is more beautiful than that. (Comparative)

This flower is not as beautiful as that. (Positive)

The term “more beautiful" is comparative version of the term “beautiful".

Both these sentences convey the same meaning.

c. He is more intelligent than this boy. (Comparative)

He is not as intelligent as this boy. (Positive)

The term “more intelligent" is comparative version of the term “intelligent".

Both these sentences convey the same meaning.

d. He is taller than Mr. Hulas. (Comparative)

He is not as tall as Mr. Hulas. (Positive)

The term “taller" is comparative version of the term “tall".

Both these sentences convey the same meaning.

When we compare more than two persons or things with one another,

We use all the three Positive, Comparative and Superlative degrees.

Examples:
a. This is the biggest house in this street. (Superlative)

This house is bigger than any other house in this street. (Comparative)

No other house in this street is as big as this one. (Positive)

The term “biggest" is the superlative version of the term “big".

All the three sentences mean the same meaning. 
b. This flower is the most beautiful one in this garden. (Superlative)

This flower is more beautiful than any other flower in this garden. (Comparative)

No other flower in this garden is as beautiful as this one. (Comparative)

The term “most beautiful" is the superlative version of the term “beautiful".

All the three sentences mean the same meaning.

c. He is the most intelligent in this class. (Superlative)

He is more intelligent than other boys in the class. (Comparative)

No other boy is as intelligent as this boy. (Positive)

The term “most intelligent" is superlative version of the term “intelligent".

Both these sentences convey the same meaning.

d. He is the tallest student in this class. (Superlative)

He is taller than other students in this class. (Comparative)

No other student is as tall as this student. (Positive)

The term “tallest" is superlative version of the term “tall".

He is the tallest student in the class.

The term “tallest" is an adjective.

Among the members of the group, Mr. Clinton speaks most effectively.

The term “effectively" is an adverb. 

B.  QUESTION WORDS
The most common question words in English are the following:

WHO
WHO is only used when referring to people. (= I want to know the person)
  • Who is the best football player in the world?
  • Who are your best friends?
  • Who is that strange guy over there?
WHERE
WHERE is used when referring to a place or location. (= I want to know the place)

WHEN

WHY

  • Why do we need a nanny?

Normally the response begins with "Because..."
WHAT
WHAT is used to refer to specific information. (= I want to know the thing)
  • What is your name?
  • What is her favourite colour?
  • What is the time?
WHICH
WHICH is used when a choice needs to be made. (= I want to know the thing between alternatives)
  • Which drink did you order – the rum or the beer?
  • Which day do you prefer for a meeting – today or tomorrow?
  • Which is better - this one or that one?
HOW
HOW is used to describe the manner that something is done. (= I want to know the way)

  • How does he know the answer?
  • How can I learn English quickly?
With HOW there are a number of other expressions that are used in questions:
How much – refers to a quantity or a price (uncountable nouns)

  • How much money will I need?
How many – refers to a quantity (countable nouns)

Read more about How much vs. How many.
How often – refers to frequency

  • How often does she study?
  • How often are you sick?
How far – refers to distance
  • How far is the university from your house?
  • How far is the bus stop from here?


C.    PASSIVE AND ACTIVE VOICES
he passive voice is especially helpful (and even regarded as mandatory) in scientific or technical writing or lab reports, where the actor is not really important but the process or principle being described is of ultimate importance. Instead of writing "I poured 20 cc of acid into the beaker," we would write "Twenty cc of acid is/was poured into the beaker." The passive voice is also useful when describing, say, a mechanical process in which the details of process are much more important than anyone's taking responsibility for the action: "The first coat of primer paint is applied immediately after the acid rinse."
We use the passive voice to good effect in a paragraph in which we wish to shift emphasis from what was the object in a first sentence to what becomes the subject in subsequent sentences.
The executive committee approved an entirely new policy for dealing with academic suspension and withdrawal. The policy had been written by a subcommittee on student behavior. If students withdraw from course work before suspension can take effect, the policy states, a mark of "IW" . . . .
The paragraph is clearly about this new policy so it is appropriate that policy move from being the object in the first sentence to being the subject of the second sentence. The passive voice allows for this transition.†

PASSIVE VERB FORMATION
The passive forms of a verb are created by combining a form of the "to be verb" with the past participle of the main verb. Other helping verbs are also sometimes present: "The measure could have been killed in committee." The passive can be used, also, in various tenses. Let's take a look at the passive forms of "design."
Tense
Subject
Auxiliary
Past
Participle
Singular
Plural
Present
The car/cars
is
are
designed.
Present perfect
The car/cars
has been
have been
designed.
Past
The car/cars
was
were
designed.
Past perfect
The car/cars
had been
had been
designed.
Future
The car/cars
will be
will be
designed.
Future perfect
The car/cars
will have been
will have been
designed.
Present progressive
The car/cars
is being
are being
designed.
Past progressive
The car/cars
was being
were being
designed.





A sentence cast in the passive voice will not always include an agent of the action. For instance if a gorilla crushes a tin can, we could say "The tin can was crushed by the gorilla." But a perfectly good sentence would leave out the gorilla: "The tin can was crushed." Also, when an active sentence with an indirect object is recast in the passive, the indirect object can take on the role of subject in the passive sentence:

Active
Professor Villa gave Jorge an A.
Passive
An A was given to Jorge by Professor Villa.
Passive
Jorge was given an A.
Only transitive verbs (those that take objects) can be transformed into passive constructions. Furthermore, active sentences containing certain verbs cannot be transformed into passive structures. To have is the most important of these verbs. We can say "He has a new car," but we cannot say "A new car is had by him." We can say "Josefina lacked finesse," but we cannot say "Finesse was lacked." Here is a brief list of such verbs*:
resemble
look like
equal
agree with
mean
contain
hold
comprise
lack
suit
fit
become

VERBALS IN PASSIVE STRUCTURES
Verbals or verb forms can also take on features of the passive voice. An infinitive phrase in the passive voice, for instance, can perform various functions within a sentence (just like the active forms of the infinitive).
Subject: To be elected by my peers is a great honor.
Object: That child really likes to be read to by her mother.
Modifier: Grasso was the first woman to be elected governor in her own right.
The same is true of passive gerunds.
Subject: Being elected by my peers was a great thrill.
Object: I really don't like being lectured to by my boss.
Object of preposition: I am so tired of being lectured to by my boss.
With passive participles, part of the passive construction is often omitted, the result being a simple modifying participial phrase.
[Having been] designed for off-road performance, the Pathseeker does not always behave well on paved highways.

D.    CONDITIONAL SENTENCES / IF-CLAUSES TYPE I, II UND III


Conditional Sentences are also known as Conditional Clauses or If Clauses. They are used to express that the action in the main clause (without if) can only take place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is fulfilled. There are three types of Conditional Sentences.

CONDITIONAL SENTENCE TYPE 1

→ It is possible and also very likely that the condition will be fulfilled.
Form: if + Simple Present, will-Future
Example: If I find her address, I’ll send her an invitation.

CONDITIONAL SENTENCE TYPE 2

→ It is possible but very unlikely, that the condition will be fulfilled.
Form: if + Simple Past, Conditional I (= would + Infinitive)
Example: If I found her address, I would send her an invitation.

CONDITIONAL SENTENCE TYPE 3

→ It is impossible that the condition will be fulfilled because it refers to the past.
Form: if + Past Perfect, Conditional II (= would + have + Past Participle)
Example: If I had found her address, I would have sent her an invitation.

E.     DEFINITION OF AN ADJECTIVE CLAUSE

In order to understand an adjective clause, let's define the two words individually. An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun. A clause is a group of words that has both a subject and a verb. If the clause expresses a complete thought, then it is a complete sentence. If it doesn't, it is what we call a dependent clause, as it depends on the main clause of the sentence to form a complete thought. An adjective clause, then, is a group of words that has both a subject and a verb that modifies a noun in a sentence. Adjective clauses are dependent clauses.

Relative Pronouns

Adjective clauses begin with the 'signal words' or 'relative pronouns'. Here is a list of the most-used relative pronouns:
  • which
  • who
  • whoever
  • whomever
  • that
  • whose
It is important to recognize relative pronouns because they signal the beginning of adjective clauses in sentences. They also act as the actual subjects and sometimes the objects in the adjective clauses.

EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE

When we see a relative pronoun in a sentence, we know that this is most likely the beginning of an adjective clause. Keep in mind that as with other grammar rules in the English language, there are often exceptions. Here is an example:
Who is the author of the book?
The word 'who' is the subject of this sentence; it does not signal the beginning of an adjective clause.
However, the word 'who' does signal the beginning of an adjective clause in the following sentence:
Mrs. Jones, who faints easily, saw the wild mouse and screamed.
The clause 'who faints easily' is an adjective clause that modifies the proper noun 'Mrs. Jones.'

How Adjective Clauses Function

Now that we have that cleared up, let's move on to see some examples of how adjective clauses work in sentences. See if you can identify the adjective clauses in the following three sentences:
1. Pamela is the girl who won the surfing contest.
2. The black car that ran the red light got in an accident.
3. People are sometimes superstitious about black cats which are common symbols of Halloween.
