7.English Tips #7:Learn Words in Context
Research shows that the vast majority of words are learned from context. To improve your vocabulary pay close attention to how words are used. Doing a search on a word using Google or DejaNews (for searching newsgroups) will give you many examples of how that word is used in context.

10.English Tips #10:Being Understood
If you're struggling to get someone to understand you, try the tips below:
* Speak more slowly (not louder!)
* Keep it simple. Use words that are most common. For example, if you want to say cat, don't use the word feline.
* Keep it simple. Use basic sentence structures (subject/verb/object).
* Don't worry about pronouns, instead use the names of people you are talking about.
* Use a lot of hand gestures. "Do you mean up?" Raise up your hands to help the person understand the word.
* Use sound effects. You may feel silly, but if you are trying to tell someone that something exploded, using the sound "Ka Boom!" will get your point across!

American Slang

Selain belajar tata bahasa, kita juga harus mempelajari bagaimana bahasa itu digunakan dalam percakapan sehari-hari. Ada beberapa contoh kalimat dalam bahasa inggris yang sering digunakan sehari-hari, tapi kalimat-kalimat ini termasuk bahasa slang atau bahasa pasaran. Tujuan saya menulis kalimat-kalimat tersebut bukan saya maksudkan untuk dipraktekkan dalam percakapan sehari-hari, tapi supaya kita lebih mengenal expresi tersebut, sehingga tidak akan terjadi misunderstanding. Jangan sampai kita mendengar orang mengatakan hal yang sebenarnya artinya kotor atau jorok, tapi kita malah mengucapkan thank you.

Salah satu cara untuk belajar bahasa inggris adalah dengan menonton film yang berbahasa inggris. Nah, kalimat-kalimat ini sering sekali dipakai dalam percakapan di film.beberapa ekspressi yang sering dipakai:

What the hell are you doing? (The hell tidak ada artinya). Sisipan the hell ini digunakan untuk menekankan kalimat what are you doing? Kalimat ini bisa diucapkan karena marah, atau diucapkan pada kawan yang sudah sangat akrab. Hal itu tergantung intonasinya.
You’re bubbling! Shut up! (Tutup mulut)
Bloody : Arti sebenarnya adalah berdarah, tapi kata ini sering dipakai untuk menunjukkan kekesalan atau penekanan pada kata yang mengikutinya, seperti bloody hell.
I’m not fussy : Saya tidak peduli.
I’m stuck on her : Saya tergila-gila padanya.
He looks like shit ; Dia kelihatan kusut banget.
Son of a bitch : keparat.
I need to piss : Aku kebelet kencing.
Don’t give me that shit : Jangan ngoceh.

Language learning is like falling in love

Falling_in_love

This evening I have to give a short talk in Japanese to about 30 members of the Japan-Canada Chamber of Commerce. I am a Director of this Chamber, which consists mostly of recent Japanese immigrants to Canada who are involved in their own businesses here. Here is what I intend to say in Japanese.

Language learning is like falling in love. In fact you have to be in love to learn a language well. I mean in love with the language. You have to have a love affair with the language. You do not have to marry the language. You can have an affair and then move on to another language after a period of time. But while you are learning the language you have to be in love with it. And you will learn faster if you are faithful to the language while you are studying it.

Just as when you are in love, you want to and need to spend as much time as possible with the object of your love. You want to hear its voice and read its thoughts. You want to learn more about it, the many words and phrases that it uses to express itself. You think of the language wherever you are. You start to observe the object of your love closely. You notice all the little things it does, you become familiar with its peculiar behaviour patterns. You breathe it. You hear its voice. You feel it. You get to know it better and better, naturally.

Skripsi Bahasa Inggris : THE INFLUENCE THE OF MAIN CHARACTERS’ CONFLICTS TOWARD PLOT IN OSCAR WILDE’S “THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST”

THE FACULTY OF LANGUAGE AND CULTURE
STIKUBANK UNIVERSITY SEMARANG

ABSTRACT

In this thesis the writer uses a drama by Oscar Wilde, a controversial man of letters of England. This thesis focuses on the influence of the main characters’ toward plot in Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest. This thesis also applies psychological aspect to analyze the main characters’ characteristics.

In writing this thesis, the writer conducts library research method to collect the data and information by using some books and internet which are related to the problem. The writer employs one method of approach namely semiotic approach. The semiotic approach is applied to analyze the character, especially the main character, plot in the drama. The writer also uses psychological approach to analyze the intrinsic aspect such as character and plot.

The Idea of American materialsm and taoism through the study of the main characters in Eugene O'Neill's marco millions

This study is about the idea of American Materialism and Taoism in
Eugene O'Neill's Marco Millions which are discussed through the literary
approach of characterization. The Writer thinks that the topic is very factual
nowadays as man's vision of life turns to be materialistic in which people tend to
neglect the spiritual and moral values and put much stresses on the physical
achievement as a measuring rod to judge one's personal worth. O'Neill writes
Marco Millions to satirize the American Materialism as well as to convey his
eagerness toward the spiritual world of Taoism.The Idea of American
Materialism pays attention to the fulfilment of self comfort and worldly
satisfaction which is in contrast with the Taoism that emphasizes on the
immortality : spiritual awareness and wisdom. Marco Polo who represents the
character of American Materialism finally becomes spiritually impotent and
insensitive because of his fleshy and superficial attitude of only pursuing for the
satisfaction of worldly needs, whereas Kublai Kaan who represents the character
of Taoism becomes spiritually mature as he accepts the destiny and surrenders to
the Omnipotent. In conclusion, there is no improvement in the qualities of Marco
who sinks into the shallowness of worldly satisfaction while Kublai Kaan finally
finds the enlightenment about the secret of life.

Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah research library dan didukung informasi melalui internet. Nilai moral adalah standard baik dan buruk yang ada pada manusia. Nilai moral yang ditemukan penulis dalam puisi-puisi Robert frost antara lain mengenai pengendalian diri, hal ini digambarkan dalam puisi Fire and Ice. Fire “api” disimbolkan sebagai desire “nafsu” dan Ice “es” disimbolkan sebagai hate “kebencian”. Dalam hubungan persahabatan, apabila seorang individu tidak dapat mengendalikan nafsu amarah dan kebencian yang ada pada dirinya, maka hubungan persahabatan yang sekian lama terbina, akan musnah.
