Opinion & Thought || Chapter 2 Part 2

 After understanding the expression of giving an opinion and thought, we will know how to compose oral and written texts. Pay attention to the conversation below:

the conversation between Vidia and Ryan is about the dangers of smoking. Vidia asks Ryan why he keeps smoking and gives his opinion on the dangers of smoking. However, Ryan seems to have difficulty believing the opinion expressed by Virda.

The context of the conversation above is between friends so the use of expressions and sentences is also adjusted to be more relaxed and less formal.

Tips for Composing Dialogue : 

First, determine the theme of what will be discussed. Then, determine the characters involved in the dialogue. Next, determine the position or role of each character. Then, make the core or outline of the material about the conversation. After that, compose the dialogue based on the outline of the conversation and show the basics of writing the dialogue

From this text we can explain that Mirna appreciates all of Shinta's good intentions and ideals. Because Mirna is Shinta's close friend, she expressed her disagreement to Shinta about her continuing her studies at college. Pay attention to how Mirna conveys her disapproving opinion. Of course, you have also given your opinion to your friends through written media in addition to direct conversation. Delivering opinions in writing requires a clearer explanation so that the message received can be interpreted in its entirety and there is no misunderstanding.

Latihan Soal : 

Task 1

Answer :

A: Some people say friends are always honest with each other. What do you think?

B: In my opinion friends need to be completely honest. One little lie and the friendship just disappears.

A: Ah, that's pretty strong language. Do you really think that? 

B: Yeah. Once, one of my good friends lied to me. He was a really good friend, and I just felt completely betrayed. It destroyed the friendship.

Task 2

Hi, Benny

It's me Rudy, I know your feelings are very confused because they are important. First, buy a bicycle, in my opinion it depends on the distance from the school to your home if you are close to walking or taking the school bus. The second is to run a small farm in sheep animal husbandry, if you like it and are comfortable then run it. If you object to that then don't do anything that makes you uncomfortable, it won't last long if you don't like it. If I were in your position, I would choose to buy a bicycle because the bicycle can be used anywhere and can be used for walking, walking, or sports. Although you like to run a small farm in sheep animal husbandry, it can be bought later by saving again. So hopefully my opinion can help you. I believe you can solve this and won't be confused anymore.

Best friend,

Rudy

Suggestion || Chapter 1 Part 1

A.  Definition 

In our daily lives, we never escape asking for suggestion or giving suggestion to others. Even asking and giving suggestion is done in simple matters. For example, what kind of clothes should you wear today. Do you want to wear formal or casual clothes today, and so on. By asking and giving suggestion, you can be more comfortable in carrying out your daily life. Because you can get or give a broader perspective on anything. The difference between suggestion and advice is its meaning. In the context of its use, it is also different. If you can use suggestion to ask for advice related to choices or everyday decisions, while advice refers to something more serious and formal

In general, a suggestion is a way to offer an idea, advice, or recommendation to someone in the hope that they will consider it or follow it. So The term "suggestion" refers to an idea or plan that is proposed for consideration. It involves recommending something as a possible course of action, offering advice, or putting forth a proposal.

 When you want to make or give suggestions, you should pay attention to the interlocutor.

Then on the phone, he said he wanted to meet at a restaurant to enjoy culinary while releasing his longing. But he didn't have a good idea. So, you can give suggestions. Check out the following example of a suggestion making conversation.

Introduction

 About  Me 

Hello everyone!! welcome to my blog🌟

  Let me introduce my self. My full name is Nasywa kamila muchtar, but you can call me nasywa. I was born on Jakarta, 11 March 2008. And now i am 16th years old. I live at Jln. Cempaka III Rt. 05/02 No. 33A, Cempaka putih, Central of Jakarta. Right now i am a student, and i study in SMAN 27 Jakarta. My dream is to be accepted at an indonesian university majoring in psychology, because i want to become a psycologist. So I will explain what the meaning of my name was given by my parents. Nasywa means kindness, Kamila means perfect, Muchtar means chosen person. If combined into Nasywa Kamila Muchtar, it means the chosen person who gives goodness perfectly.

  This is my family, and i want to introduce my family.

I am the first child, I have a younger sister, she is now in junior high school and only 2 years apart. Her name is Harumi raihana muchtar, she is 14th years old and now she studies in Al Kahfi boarding school. My parents work in Jakarta, my dad is a teacher at SDN 17 Kebon Kosong. He is a teacher in grades 5 and 6 of elementary school, at first he was surprised because there were children who could not read and write even though he was in grade 6. Finally he helped a child who could not read and write, he was a good teacher. He has been a teacher since 2003, which means he has been a teacher for 21 years. My mother works as a civil servant at the "Badan Pusat Statistik", and she has been working there since 1998 Besides her job, she is also a very good mother; she always supports whatever her child wants.

  Now I want to tell you about my hobbies. First, my hobby is listening to music. I think listening to music makes me enjoy running every day. I like to listen to songs from Hivi, Tulus, Raisa, Juicy Luicy, Niki and many more for the country, if from abroad there are Bruno Mars, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift. I prefer pop music to others. Second, my hobby is watching movies or series. Lately I like to watch action and mystery genres, I think it's really exciting because there are scenes where we have to solve problems. I also like some romance genres but sometimes romance genres make me feel bored. If it's horror, I don't like it, especially if the story is taken from a true story. I would recommend movies and series on Netflix that are exciting, namely, The Umbrella Academy, Stranger Things, The Witcher and Locke & Key.

  Okey guys, Right now I want to tell you about my experience of entering boarding school. The first time I went to school there, I felt very sad because I had to be away from my parents and family. But as time went by, I got used to living in a dormitory with friends. Because at that time it was still covid so I was 1 year at home. I went back to the dormitory after Covid it felt like I was starting all over again. But that is not a barrier for us to be friends. As time went by, I had more and more friends, and I even memorized all the class names. Especially when the 3rd grade of junior high school, all classes become very solid and close to each other. After graduation, I decided to go to school in Jakarta. At first I wasn't used to it myself especially in the dormitory, always with friends, studying together, eating together, whatever it is done together except taking a shower together. At first it was not a habit, but as time went by I finally got used to it and yes the beginning of the adaptation made the first semester in high school quite messy. Hopefully in the future I can be better. So that's all my story about boarding school, that's all and thank you.
