Unforgettable Memory

When I was in the first grade of junior high school, I joined a scout activity in Kokop district camping ground. The scout activity was held on Friday till Sunday 11 – 13 August 2006 in Kokop district camping area. It is not so far. It is only two kilometers on the western of my school. Before that, I was not interested in joining that activity because I had ever joined when I was in elementary school. But my teacher and friends suggested me to join, so I decided to join it. There were many preparations before we left to camping ground. Two weeks before we left to comping ground, all scout members of and I prepared all necessities we needed. It was some necessities for tent, and also learned about several activities. Besides, we also had to make some fence of tent which was made from bamboo, made a main entrance of tent and also other necessities.On Saturday afternoon, I had prepared all equipments I needed for camping. So I was not afraid of missing something I needed. I could sleep and took a rest calmly in the evening before going camping. Unfortunately, after I went to my school at about 05.30, I realized that I missed one important item at home which was needed very much for scout activity. It was a scout uniform tie. Willy nilly, I was forced leaving. Because of missing my scout tie, it disturbed my mind all the time for the trip to camping ground. Fortunately, there was one of my friend who had two scout ties. So I was not confused anymore because he lent me one. I was happy very much.I arrived at the camping ground at about 07.00 am. There, my friends and I directly made a tent with my friends at the place which was determined in the camping ground. I had finished making the tent at 07.45 because we worked together full enthusiastically. After we finished making the tent, I joined the opening of ceremony. In the afternoon at the first day, I directly joined two competition, the first was a competition of moving water on the bucket by stick. We competed to win it but unfortunately my group was unlucky. The second competition was tie up the stick with a rope based on the scout system. This time I felt happy so much because my team was the third winner. It make my group were more spirit to compete the other competitions.In the evening, there was a campfire. In this event, some students read "Dasa Darma Pramuka" as the opening of first night. There were ten students from different school who did it. In that night was also held a few of performance competition. Every school showed their the best talent and skill to perform in front of numerous students. There was a school that performed a poem, speech, drama, traditional dancing and singing, karate, fashion, and many others. My school also did not want to miss it. My school performed a poem musical. And my group gave me a trust to read the poem. I felt proud could perform the poem musical in spite of my group was not the winner. Because my school had performed well. The time indicated at 11.00 pm. It meat the campfire performance was over.The activity at the next day is traveling. We did the traveling activity began at 08.00 am in the morning. I traveled a large location. There were some kinds of competition in the traveling. The assessment of competition was combined into one mark. From whole of test which in every post. And in every post there was a committee who would test all the participant of traveling. The first test, I translated code Morse into Indonesia. In the second post I got a test of forming a line, so my group had to work each other well in order to get a good mark. The next test in the third post I had to take across a small bridge. In this test, my group was not successful because there was one of my friends who felt down when crossing the bridge. And the last test was we should detect with the senses of something in the boxes covered. It is a great traveling that I joined. Something that made me so proud was that my group got the best mark. It was one of the best point for my group from many kinds of competitions in scout activity.For the last night there would be held the art performance. So, all the school had to perform the best performance to show their talents. There were many kinds of performance fulfilled the beautiful evening.

Seberapa pentingkah penguasaan grammar dalam mempelajari bahasa Inggris?

Di negara yang memang bahasa resminya bahasa Inggris, mereka tidak perlu belajar grammar untuk bisa berbahasa Inggris. Kenapa? Karena setiap saat -pagi, siang, sore dan malam, dari bangun tidur sampai tidur lagi- mereka berinteraksi dengan orang-orang yang semuanya menggunakan bahasa Inggris. Sementara di Indonesia, kita hampir tidak pernah mendengar orang-orang di lingkungan kita berbahasa Inggris.

Dalam beberapa kasus meski kecil sekali di sebuah keluarga dibiasakan bhs Inggris (dimana ayah dan ibu nya bisa berbahasa Inggris) sehingga anak-anak mereka terbiasa berbicara dalam bhs Inggris. Ini lebih kurang mirip dengan cara anak-anak bule belajar bahasa mereka.
Bahwa setiap orang bisa berbahasa 'ibu' nya itu juga dengan metode dan cara yang sama.

Nah, jika kita tidak berada di lingkungan berbahasa Inggris, maka bukankah mempelajari kaedah dan tatabahasa merupakan satu-satunya cara sehingga kita bisa merangkai kata menjadi kalimat?
Latihan intensif tidak akan membuat kita mahir kecuali kalimat yang kita gunakan untuk berlatih memang telah terstruktur dengan baik dan benar. Practice makes perfect? No. Perfect practice makes perfect!

Jika anda diminta membuat atau mendirikan sebuah bangunan lalu disediakan semua bahan seperti semen. pasir, bata, kayu, paku dsb. maka apakah anda bisa melakukannya? Bisa tidaknya bergantung pada pengetahuan dan penguasaan anda tentang apa yang harus dilakukan dengan bahan-bahan tersebut. Analogi itu sama dengan jika anda disodori sebuah kamus yang berisi kata-kata sebagai unsur kalimat, bisakah anda menyususn sebuah kalimat jika anda tidak tahu kaedah menyusun kata menjadi kalimat yang standar?

Sebagian orang mengatakan bahwa dalam hal berbahasa yang penting adalah maksud kita bisa dimengerti oleh lawan bicara. Kalau memang begitu, bukankah bahasa Tarzan juga sudah mencukupi?

And in the left side is Mr. Cahyo’s house. My aunt’s house is not so big but clean and comfortable. It has light green color. It is not a  good house because it’s included to a simple style. It has only 7 meters wide and 14 meters length. There is no garden in front of it, because there is only a small road between Agus’s and my aunt’s house.
