MODUL BAHASA INGGRIS
    
    





KATA PENGANTAR
Penulis
Alhamdulillah, segala puji bagi Allah swt, Tuhan semesta Alam, berkat rahmat, hidayah serta inayah-Nya penulis dapat menyelesaikan Modul Bahasa Inggris Program Kesetaraan Kejar Paket C ini dengan lancar. Modul ini disusun sebagai alat bantu tutor/pengajar, peserta didik/diklat sekaligus bagi para pelaku pendidikan di program Kesetaraan kelompok belajar (Kejar).
Penulisan modul ini didasari pada kebutuhan pelaku pendidikan akan kurangnya media pembelajaran dalam bentuk modul atau materi-materi yang terstruktur sesuai dengan kurikulum. Banyak terdapat peserta didik di program Kesetaraan Kejar paket C yang tidak mampu mengikuti pembelajaran secara menyeluruh, baik di dalam kelas (tatap muka) ataupun tutorial dengan mengesampingkan pekerjaan mereka.
Oleh karena itu, dengan adanya Modul Bahasa Inggris Program Kesetaraan Kejar Paket C ini, akan memberikan kesempatan kepada peserta didik untuk belajar secara mandiri (self-learning), sekaligus mereka juga mampu merencanakan sendiri waktu untuk pembelajaran secara tatap muka serta tutorial. Hal ini membuat peserta didik tetap bisa belajar sendiri di rumah maupun di kantor atau tempat mereka bekerja.
Penulis menyadari bahwa penulisan Modul Bahasa Inggris Program Kesetaraan Kejar Paket C ini masih jauh dari kata sempurna, hujan kritik, saran ataupun masukan kepada penulis akan memberikan semangat agar mampu meningkatkan kualitas penulisan modul/media pembelajaran di masa yang akan datang.
Akhir kata, penulis ucapkan banyak terima kasih kepada semua pihak yang telah membantu dan memberikan kesempatan kepada penulis untuk menyelesaikan Modul Bahasa Inggris Program Kesetaraan Kejar Paket C ini. Besar harapan kami agar modul ini dapat bermanfaat dan menjadi salah satu sumber belajar bagi pemimpin-pemimpin besar di negeri ini kelak, amiin.

Dear Joanne,
How are you, Joanne? It has been a long time since we last met, at the basketball competition. I hope everything is fine with you. I remember the good old days when we were still at junior high school. We supported our basketball team although it finally lost in the semifinal. That didn’t sadden us because we knew that our team had done their best.
You know, Joanne, I’m a basketball player at my school. My team just won the interschool basketball championship yesterday. My friends supported my team enthusiastically and we’re paid them with a gold medal. If you were there yesterday, my day would have been merrier.
Well, that’s the news for now. I hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers,
Woko

Tujuan Pembelajaran
Setelah mempelajari bab ini, kamu diharapkan dapat memahami dan mengidentifikasi teks-teks tersebut.
 











A.   NEWS ITEM

Teks yang berisi peristiwa atau kejadian yang pantas diketahui publik. Dalam penulisannya, teks ini memuat berita yang biasanya sedang menjadi headline di media massa, memiliki kemiripan dengan teks recount, tetapi penulisannya berbeda.
Bagian-bagian awal penulisan teks news item yang kamu perhatikan adalah di bawah ini:
1.   Tempat kejadian perkara atau peristiwa
2.  Nama media pelapor
3.  Informasi peristiwa
Teks ini memiliki tujuan (communicative purpose) untuk menceritakan (to tell) kepada publik tentang suatu peristiwa penting. Tense-nya menggunakan simple past karena peristiwanya sudah terjadi. TETAPI selain kamu memperhatikan bagian-bagian awal penulisan teks ini. Kamu kudu perhatikan susunan teks (generic structure-nya) juga.
Generic structure atau susunan pembentuk teks news item:
1.   Newsworthy event  : kejadian inti/penting
2.  Background events  : latar belakang kejadian, orang yang terlibat,
                               tempat dan waktu kejadian, mengapa bisa
                               terjadi, dll.
3.  Sources                  : pendapat/komentar dari orang-orang/saksi
Sekarang, coba kamu semua perhatikan contohnya di bawah ini:
Contaminated Town
Newsworthy Event
Moscow – A Russian journalist has uncovered evidence of another Soviet nuclear catastrophe, which killed 10 sailors and contaminated an entire town.

Background Event
Yelena Vazrshavskya is the first journalist to speak to people who witnessed the explosion of a nuclear submarine at the naval base of shkotovo – 22 near Vladivostoc.
The accident, which occured 13 months before the Chernobyl disaster, spread radioactive fall-out over the base and nearby town, but was covered up by officials of the Soviet Union. Residents were told that the explosion in the reactor of the Victor-class submarine during a refit had been a ‘thermal’ and not a nuclear explosion. And those involved in the clean up operation to remove more than 600 tonnes of contaminated material were sworn to secrecy.

Source
A board of investigators was later to describe it as the worst accident in the history of the Soviet Navy

 

RANGKUMAN (Summary)
1.     News item text adalah sebuah teks esai yang hanya menceritakan berita-berita penting saja, bukan berita “basi”
2.    Bagian awal penulisan teks ini adalah; tempat kejadian peristiwa, nama jurnalis/media pelapor, lalu peristiwa/kejadiannya.
3.    Menggunakan simple past tense
4.    Susunan pembentuk teksnya yaitu: kejadian inti/penting, latar belakang/setting kejadian dan pendapat/komentar orang lain.

B.   EXPOSITION

Penyampaian opini atau pendapat tentang suatu topik/ permasalahan adalah tujuan dari penulisan teks ini. Namun sebelum jauh menjelaskan “ini-itu” coba perhatikan dulu yang berikut ini.
Exposition text memiliki 2 (dua) jenis atau bentuk, mereka “saudara kembar” tapi tidak identik, artinya ada perbedaan di antara keduanya, pelajari dengan seksama ya!
1.   Analytical Exposition
Dalam teks ini, penulis memberikan opini dan TIDAK berusaha membujuk pembaca untuk pro/kontra atau setuju/tidak setuju. Nama lain teks ini adalah argumentative. Persoalan-persoalan umum seperti; car, flood dan polution akan sering kamu jumpai dalam jenis teks ini.

Generic structure atau susunan pembentuk teks analytical exposition:
a.  Thesis       : pernyataan penulis tentang suatu kasus
b.  Argument  : inti perbincangan dan penjelasan dari inti tersebut
c.   Reiteration          : penguatan dari pernyataan penulis (bisa terdapat da-
  lam argument dalam bentuk elaboration/penjelasan secara rinci).



Ini dia contoh teks analytical exposition:
Thesis
In Australia, there are three levels of government: the federal government, state government and local government. All of these levels of government are necessary. There are a number of reasons.

Argument I
Point:
First, the federal government is necessary for the big things.
Elaboration:
They keep the economy in order and look after things like defence.

Argument II
Point:
Similarly, the state governments look after the middle sized things.
Elaboration:
For example, they look after law and order, preventing things like vandalism in schools.

Argument III
Point:
Finally, local governments look after the small things.
Elaboration:
They look after things like collecting rubbish; otherwise, everyone would have diseases.
 
















RANGKUMAN (Summary)
1.     Pada teks analytical exposition, pendapat/opini penulis TIDAK berada pada posisi untuk mempengaruhi pembaca agar setuju/tidak setuju dengannya.
2.    Nama lainnya argumentative, berarti hanya ber-argumentasi/ mengomentari saja. Plus, namanya kan analytical, so pasti tujuannya hanya meng-analisa ya. INGAT! Teks ini TIDAK membujuk (persuade) pembaca agar pro/kontra loh.
3.    Menggunakan simple present tense.
4.    Susunan pembentuk teksnya yaitu: thesis, argument dan reiteration.

TUGAS (Assignment)
Perhatikan contoh teks di atas kemudian jawablah pertanyaan di bawah ini!
1.     What kind of text is that?
a.    Analytical Exposition
b.    Report
c.    Recount
d.    Review
e.    Narrative
2.    Who is responsible for defence?

b.    State government

e.    Federal and Local governments
3.    The litter management is the responsibility of ...
a.    All governments
b.    Australia
c.    Federal governments
d.    State governments
e.    Local governments



4.   Hortatory Exposition
Perbedaan dalam teks ini dengan analytical exposition adalah penulis memberikan opini dan berusaha membujuk pembaca untuk pro/kontra atau setuju/tidak setuju. Nama lain teks ini adalah persuasive.
Generic structure atau susunan pembentuk teks hortatory exposition:
a.  Thesis                  : pernyataan penulis tentang suatu kasus
b.  Argument            : alasan tentang adanya kepedulian dan meng-
                            arah ke saran/rekomendasi
c.   Recommendation : pernyataan alasan/bagaimana sesuatu seha-
                            rusnya dilakukan/tidak dilakukan
COUNTRY CONCERN
Thesis
In all the discussion over the removal of lead from petrol (and the atmosphere), there doesn’t seem to have been any mention of the difference between driving in the city and in the country.

Argument
While I realise my leaded petrol car is polluting their air wherever I drive, I feel that when you travel through the country, where you only see another car every five to ten minutes, the problem is not as severe as when traffic is concentrated on city roads.

Argument
Those who want to penalise older, leaded petrol vehicles and their owners don’t seem to appreciate that in the country, there is no public transport to fall back upon and one’s own vehicle is the only way to get about.

Recommendation
I feel that country people, who often have to travel huge distances to the nearest town and who already spend a great deal of money on petrol, should be treated differently to the people who live in the city.
contoh teks hortatory exposition dapat kamu lihat di bawah ini:

TES FORMATIF 2
YONKERS, Nov 12th. A four alarm fire damaged 14 stores today in the Cross County Shopping Center, the largest shoppingcenter in Westchester County.
Two fire investigators said the blaze apparently started in a pile of cardboard cartons at the rear of a shoe store and spread through a utilities duct above the 13 other stores. The fire started at 4.40 p.m. and was declared under control 1t 6.14 p.m. The center is on the Cross County Parkway at the Gov. Thomas E. Dewey Thruway.
Five fire-fighters were busy at the scene. Lieut. John Carey of the Yonkers Arson Squad said the cause of the fire was under investigation.
The issue of using drugs to enhance athlete’s performance is controversial. Those who agree to the use of drugs in enhancing performance say that most top players in all sports take drugs to train harder and feel no pain during play. The trainers, sports doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists and managers of the big names make sure banned substances are taken at the safest and most efficient levels. The main effect of banning such substances has turned performers and their coaches into liars and cheaters.
On the other hand, some still believe that performance enhancing drugs in sport should be banned. Performance enhancing drugs are not only prohibited because they violate the spirit of sport, but because they can damage the health of athletes.
I think the idea of allowing them in sports could lead to a situation where-by sportsmen and women are used as human guinea pigs for a constant flow of new, unregulated substances.

a.    Performers become losers
b.    Performers become winners
c.    Performers become cheaters
d.    Performers become hooligans
e.    Performers become supporters
6.    What is the writer’s intention to write the text?
a.    To persuade readers to agree with the issue
b.    To influence readers to oppose the issue
c.    To describe performance enhancing drugs
d.    To entertain readers with the issue
e.    To expose readers with the issue
7.    How does the writer feel about the performance enhancing drugs?
a.    Neutral
b.    Positive
c.    Negative
d.    Indefinite
e.    Pessimistic








8.    What is mainly discussed in the text?
a.    The acid rain
b.    An alternative energy
c.    An atomic power station
d.    Highly radioactive material
e.    The advantages and disadvan-tages of nuclear energy
9.    All of the following statements are true, EXCEPT ...
a.    Acid rain makes plants fertile
b.    The smoke produced by burning coal contains a lot of acid
c.    Nuclear power may cause some health problems
d.    People should be aware of the danger of radioactive waste
e.    When oil or coal is burned, it produces some smoke.
10.  ”Nobody can be certain what will happen to it there.” (par. 2)
The underlined word means ...
Nuclear power seems in some ways much cleaner than other sources of energy. Take oil or coal as an example. When they are used in power stations, a great deal of smoke is produced. The smoke contains a great deal of acid. Even if smoke is cleaned by filters, a lot of acid still escapes into the air. This can be carried by clouds from power stations in England to Scandinavia. When it rains there, the acid comes down with the rain. As a result, the fish in lakes and trees in forests begin to die.
But many people are still against nuclear power. They believe that the pro-
blem is not just the danger of an accident in the atomic power stations. High radioactive material is used. Radioactivity can cause cancer and other illnesses. Only a part of the material is used. The rest-called waste-is just as radioactive. Although it is still highly dangerous, this radioactive waste is often thrown into the sea. Nobody can be certain what will happen to it there. Only one thing is certain. It will be highly dangerous for at least 240.000 years!

Brownie is a Chinese breed. It is small, fluffy, and cute. It has got thick brown fur. When i cuddle it, the fur feels soft. Brownie does not like bones.
Everyday, it eats soft food like steamed rice, fish, or bread. Every morning, I give her milk and bread. When I am at school, Brownie plays with my cat.

Private Lives Sparkle
Orientation
Since the last production of ‘Private Live’ in 1930, with the theatre’s two leading sophisticates Noel Coward and Gertrude Lawrence in the leads, the play has tended to be seen as a vehicle for stars.
Evaluation
QUT Academy of the Arts’ production boasted no ‘stars’, but certainly fielded potential stars in a sparkling performance that brought out just how fine a piece of craftmanship Coward’s play is.
Evaluation
More than 60 years later, what news could be deduced from so familiar a theme?
Director Rod Wissler’s highly perceptive approach went beyond the glittery surface of Witty banter to the darker implications beneath.
Interpretative Recount
With the shifting of attitude to social values, it became clear that Victor and Sybil were potentially the more admirable of the couples, with standards better adjusted than the volatile and self-indulged Elyot and Amanda.
Evaluation
The wit was there, dexterously ping-ponged to and fro by a vibrant Amanda (Chaterine Jones) and a suave Elyot (Daniel Kealy).
Evaluation
Julie Eckersley’s Sybil was a delightful creation, and Philip Cameron-Smith’s more serious playing was just right for Victor. Jodie Levesconte was a superb French maid. James Maclean’s set captured the Thirties atmosphere with many subtle touches.
Evaluation Summation
All involved deserve the highest praise.
Wait a minute, please! Jangan puas dulu dengan memahami pengertian, ciri-ciri dan tujuan dari review text, sekarang perhatikan contohnya yaa!:

TES FORMATIF 4

A planet is a body in space that revolves around a star. There are nine planets in our solar system, and these nine planets travel around the sun. The names of the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
Planets travel in orbit around the stars. All of the planets of the solar system revolve in elliptical orbits. In other words, their orbits are like large, flat circles. The time that it takes to make one revolution around the sun is called a year.
The Greeks were the first people to know and give names to some of the planets. The word planet comes from a Greek word, meaning wanderer. If a person wanders, this means that he goes from one place to another and does not have a home. The Greeks thought that planets “wandered” in the sky. However, modern scientists can predict the movement of the planets very accurately.
