Bahasa Inggris itu Sederhana dan Mudah

Bagi sebagian orang, pelajaran bahasa Inggris nyaris sama horornya dengan matematika. Padahal bahasa ini adalah bahasa pengantar nomor satu dunia. Lalu bagaimana untuk mereka yang tidak menggeluti bidang bahasa tetapi paham betul kalau bahasa Inggris penting dan bisa menunjang karir mereka? Berikut sebuah tips mudah untuk belajar bahasa Inggris dengan sederhana.

Menceritakan Masa Lalu

Coba kita ambil satu contoh penggunaan bentuk waktu dalam Bahasa Inggris, atau biasa disebut Tenses.Katakan saja tadi malam anda menonton bioskop dengan teman-teman anda dan hari ini dikantor atau dikampus anda ingin menceritakan kembali betapa bagusnya film tersebut ke teman-teman yang lain. Kalau anda menceritakannya dalam Bahasa Indonesia tentu itu tidak akan terlalu sulit, keterangan-keterangan waktu seperti semalam atau tadi malam sudah cukup menerangkan kalau kejadian-kejadian tersebut sudah terjadi di waktu lampau.

Masalahnya adalah salah satu atau beberapa teman anda itu orang asing dan dia belum bisa berbahasa Indonesia. Disini anda ditantang untuk menceritakan kembali film tersebut dalam Bahasa Inggris. Sejatinya, anda tidak harus menceritakannya dalam Bahasa Inggris yang baik dan benar, tetapi paling tidak si pendengar asing tersebut tahu kalau kejadiannya sudah lampau. Lalu bagaimana caranya?

* Kalimat Positif

Semua orang tahu konsepsi dasar penggunaan bentuk waktu lampau dalam bahasa Inggris, bahwa bentuk waktu ini digunakan untuk menjelaskan kejadian atau peristiwa yang berlangsung pada masa lampau. Atau dengan kata lain pada satu waktu tertentu di masa lalu, hal yang dibicarakan terjadi. Hal tersebut mulai dan berakhir di waktu lampau. Bahkan satu detik yang lalu merupakan waktu lampau.

Dalam bahasa Inggris salah satu penentu utama sebuah kalimat dalam bentuk lampau akan terlihat dari kata kerjanya atau Verb. Kata kerja tersebut harus dalam bentuk kata kerja II, verb II. Penentu lainnya adalah penggunaan keterangan waktu yang menunjukkan hal tersebut terjadi di waktu lampau, seperti yesterday, yesterday morning, yesterday afternoon, last week, last year, last month, last spring, last winter, a few minutes ago, two years ago, five minutes ago, three days ago, one year ago, dan lain-lain.

Lalu bagaimana dengan struktur kalimatnya? Untuk kalimat positif, strukturnya adalah:

Subject + Verb II + Object

Setelah Object bisa ditambahkan keterangan waktu untuk melengkapi, seperti contoh:

I watched movie last night.

Dari contoh diatas bisa dilihat I sebagai Subject, watched sebagai Verb II, movie sebagai Object dan last night sebagai keterangan waktu atau Adverb of time.

Contoh lainnya adalah:
I was sad last night.

Dari contoh diatas tidak ada kata kerja II kita temukan. Dalam kalimat seperti ini, jika tidak menggunakan kata kerja, kita menggunakan was atau were, bagaimana was digunakan dan bagaimana were digunakan tergantung pada Subjectnya. Was digunakan apabila subjektnya I, He, She dan It. Sedangkan were digunakan apabila subjetnya You, We dan They, seperti contoh-contoh berikut:

They were there last Tuesday.
She was late last Tuesday.

You need to fish bass differently in different kinds of water quality. Following these general guidelines will improve your fishing quality:

Muddy Water: In low-visibility water, a bass finds food using its sonar senses. You must use lures with the best vibration and noise. You can tell if a lure has a high vibration by feeling the shaking of your rod as you bring in the lure. Use your heaviest vibrators and keep them coming at a steady pace so that bass can detect it.

Clear Water: Bass are overly cautious in clear water with high visibility. Their survival instincts kick in, and they are wary of anything out of the ordinary. Use lighter lines that are less visible. Also, use longer casts and lures that resemble bass food in the area. Spinners usually work in clear water, but if they are not working try a black spinner blade to reduce the flash.

Normal Water: This water has normal algae and plankton that filters out sunlight. It is ideal for all types of lures, as the bass are not timid. Use the shotgun approach here and set up 3 outfits, one using a surface lure, one using a deep diver, and the last using a plastic worm. Do about 10 casts with each, and then switch them up to different variations. This is a great way to find out what is working.

Wedding Etiquette on Hotel Rooms

A wedding with wedding destination theme has been gaining popularity these days. Couples are choosing a wedding venue far from home. Invited guests are mostly close friends and families who would take the trouble to do a long drive or fly to the wedding venue just to attend the wedding celebration.

Wedding venues for wedding destination are usually being held on a beach, a botanical garden, or scenic spots. These places are offered to public for a fee to use the place for wedding ceremony or wedding reception. But most of these wedding destination venues do not offer a place where the bride, groom, the wedding party and wedding guests may stay before the wedding day. This is the reason why nearby hotels are fully booked even a week before the wedding.

The bride, groom, the rest of the wedding party and the wedding guests are expected to behave and follow wedding etiquette on use of hotel rooms. Yes, wedding etiquette must be observed when using hotel rooms.

For one thing, if you are a bride or a groom and you violated wedding etiquette on proper use of hotel rooms, you will create bad impression on your family name even before the two of you gets married. Or if you are a member of the wedding party or you are a wedding guest and you violated a wedding etiquette on proper use of hotel rooms, you are giving the newly weds a bad name when you should have been helping them create a good name by themselves.

Below are some basic wedding etiquette on proper use of hotel rooms when you have or attending a wedding with wedding destination theme:

– Wedding etiquette on Proper use of Hotel Rooms Before the Wedding Day

1. The very basic wedding etiquette on proper use of hotel rooms is that the bride and the groom should not share the same suite. Yes, people know that you love each other very much (that is why you are getting married, right?), but please, please save your energy for your wedding day, would you? You can do whatever you want after the wedding day and you have all the time in the world to spend days and nights in each other’s arms.

Besides, there is this old tradition that the bride and the groom should not see each other the night before the wedding day or that the groom should not see the bride in her wedding dress because the wedding will be called of.

If you are sharing the same suite, of course the groom would see the bride not just in her wedding dress but as she wears it. So, for just once, follow the old saying even if it is just a superstition just to avoid seeing raised eyebrows from your family and wedding guests. You might even bring your parents or old relatives to a heart attack if you break this old tradition.

Another wedding etiquette in hotel is that brides should refrain from being a bridezilla to the roomboys, chambermaids, and other hotel personnel. Although it is true that the hotel have got fully booked because of your wedding, you should also remember that you don’t employ them, much more own them.

You should not ask them to run errands that are not related to their work anymore or shout at them when they can’t give you your demands as fast as you want them to be. Stop acting like as though you were the most precious person around because you are getting married in a few hours. Act like a blushing bride with right wedding etiquette and not the other way around.

2. Refrain from getting yourself some hotel souvenirs. If you are a bride, don’t mar your newly acquired surname by stealing items that you can easily buy from a department store.

If you are a guest, please restrain your hands from stealing ash trays, towels or comforters as a memento or souvenir. They are not wedding keepsakes from the bride and the groom. Do not worry, the newlyweds have something special for you.
