Seri Latihan Soal Incomplete Dialogue Reading Ujian Bahasa Inggris SMK ; Future Activity

Seri Latihan Soal Incomplete Dialogue Reading Ujian Bahasa Inggris SMK ; Future Activity

Ayunara Bahar Comment Bahasa Inggris Bahasa Inggris UNBK SMK be going to future Activity Future Tense Incomplete dialogue Present Continuous Soal Incomplete Dialogue will

Dalam ungkapan yang menunjukkan bentuk aktifitas di masa akan datang (future activity) hal yang paling penting adalah bisa membedakan penggunaan bentuk " be going to" dan 'will" sebagai ekspresi yang diterapkan pada future activity. 

Berikut sedikit penjelasan mengenai perbedaan kedua bentuk tersebut sebelum berranjak ke dalam latihan soal tentang "future activity".

#1. Keduanya baik "will" maupun "be going to" menyatakan aktifitas yang akan datang.

will : digunakan ketika kita ingin melakukan sesuatu tanpa suatu perencanaan sebelumnya. Biasanya bersifat spontanitas.

Contoh :

Helen : My bicycle has a flat tire. Can you repair it to me?

Father : Okay, but I can't do it now. I'll repair it tomorrow.

Be going to : digunakan ketika kita sudah siap  memutuskan untuk melakukan sesuatu .

Contoh : 

Mother : Can you repair Helen's bicycle? It has a flat tire.

Father : Yes, I know. She told me. I'm going to repair it tomorrow.

*** Ayahnya Helen sudah merencanakan untuk memperbaiki ban sepeda Helen sebelumnya.

#2. Prediksi kejadian di masa akan datang

Keduanya mengatakan apa yang akan terjadi (prediksi tentang apa yang terjadi di masa akan datang)

Contoh : 

• Do you think Tom will get  the job?
• Oh dear, It's already 4 o'clock. We're going to be late.

Going to : Menyatakan situasi dimana sesuatu memang nyata akan terjadi.

Contoh :

• Look at those black clouds. It's going to rain ( awan yang dilihat menunjukkan akan terjadinya hujan)
• I feel terrible. I think I'm going to be sick. (saya merasa tidak enak badan sekarang)

NB :

Kita juga biasanya menggunakan bentuk present continuous untuk menyatakan kejadian yang sudah disusun atau direncanakan sebelumnya.

Contoh :

• What time are you meeting Ann? (atau Are you going to meet?)
• I'm traveling to Scotland on Monday (atau I'm going to travel)

Dalam soal incomplete dialog, soal yang menunjukkan bentuk future activity biasanya dilihat berdasarkan kata kunci (keyword) penggunaan kata atau phrase "will" dan "be going to" pada konteks percakapan yang terjadi. 

Oke, langsung saja berikut latihan soalnya.

Merancang Pembelajaran Berbasis E-Learning dengan Flipgrid

Ayunara Bahar Comment e-learning Flipgrid Tutorial Flipgrid untuk guru flipgrid untuk siswa Tekno Guru

Sistem pembelajaran berbasis e-learning mengedepankan sistem pembelajaran yang melibatkan penggunaan teknologi baik itu sistem elektronik maupun komputer. Tentu saja sistem ini membutuhkan sumber daya yang baik untuk mengelolanya baik guru maupunn faktor sarana- prasarananya. Adapun tujuan diterapkannya sistem ini sendiri adalah untuk memberikan fleksibilitas, interaktivitas, dan kecepatan melalui media yang dibuat.

Sumber gambar pixabay

Contoh penerapan teknologi yang tepat kita  sesuaikan dengan topik atau materi yang akan kita ajarkan. Selain itu kita juga mesti menentukan sarana atau media apa yang akan kita gunakan dalam hal tersebut. Salah satu webtool yang bisa membantu kita adalah Flipgrid.

Flipgrid dirancang untuk memberikan siswa sebuah cara yang menyenangkan dan kreatif untuk mengembangkan tugas video yang diberikan oleh guru mereka dengan cara sederhana kemudian mengintegrasikannya ke dalam kelas mereka.

Langkah awal, Guru menugaskan siswa untuk membuat sebuah proyek pekerjaan menggunakan Flipgrid. Sebagai sampel guru menugaskan siswa mengirim ulasan mini buku, film, atau acara televisi. Flipgrid akan mengumpulkan berbagai tanggapan siswa pada satu topik. Anda bisa menanyakan siswa di akhir unit atau akhir tahun untuk merefleksikan apa yang telah mereka pelajari dan apa yang akan mereka merekomendasikan kepada siswa lain.

Langkah selanjutnya,  untuk memulai Flipgrid, ada dua bagian utama pada tutorialnya yaitu untuk guru dan untuk siswa.

Memulai Flipgrid untuk Guru

Masuk ke website Flipgrid, bila belum punya akun, silahkan registrasi dahulu melalui "Sign Up Today". 

Pada dashboard Flipgrid, pilih "New Grid" untuk membuat Grid baru. Isikan data di dalamnya termasuk nama Grid dan sebagainya. 

Anda bisa men-setting Grid anda melalui tombol "Actions". Setiap Grid nanti akan bisa kita tambahkan beberapa topik. Nah, untuk menambah topik, kita klik pada Nama grid kita, sebagai contoh Grid yang sudah saya buat, 'kelaskita"

Pada tampilan topik Grid, kita juga bisa men-setting topik yang kita buat atau yang sudah tersedia. Berikut tampilan settingan topik Grid. 

Isikan semua kebutuhan untuk pembuatan topik kita pada isian yang tersedia. Ada tujuh seksi (7 secion) yang bisa dilengkapi satu persatu. Klik Update Topic pada bagian kanan bawah bila sudah selesai

Berikut tampilan topic Grid yang sudah dibuat. 

Kita bisa membagikan topik yang kita buat seebelumnya kepada siswa melalui menu share. Ada beberapa pilihan untuk membagikan topik anda ke siswa yaitu melalui link, embed code, media sosial, atau melalui QR Code. 

Memulai Flipgrid untuk Siswa

Siswa membuka alamat website Flipgrid.

Masukkan nomor kode yang sudah guru share sebelumnya. 

Secara otomatis siswa akan masuk ke halaman dashboard dari topik grid yang guru buat sebelumnya. Klik pada menu dengan tampilan Plus sepertti dibawah ini. Jangan lupa ingatkan siswa untuk memakai akun Google atau Microsoft.

Lanjutkan proses pembuatan sampai dengan submitting video-nya selesai. Untuk kelancaran dan kemudahan, gunakan kamera dan mikrofon pada pembuatan video-nya melalui PC atau laptop.

Selain melalui operating system pada laptop atau PC, Flipgrid bisa dijalankan melalui sistem Android atau IOS pada smartphone anda. Cara ini menurut saya lebih baik untuk disarankan pada siswa karena lebih sederhana dan mudah dilakukan dalam pembuatan tugas mereka kapanpun dan dimanapun.

Selamat Mencoba dan Semoga bermanfaat.

Salam.

USE OF FORMALIN AND OTHER ADDITIVES IN FOOD

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been a serious for two reason. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimen and experiments. Formalin in Biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservative, it will be very dangerous to human's body.
The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This condition makes the people's health is really in a threat. When the control is weak and the use of formalin is spread wide all over the Indonesian regions,and these days it has really happened, the citizens' bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their products which contain formalin and dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our digestive system absorbs the substance that should be for the human and animal corpses?

Text for questions 20 to 22

The number of damaged roads linking Jakarta with West Java has certainly provoked complaints from locals and road users. Take for an example, the roads in Bekasi and Tangerang, which have been the focus of the media.
The poor condition of these roads not only jeopardizes road safety but also gives a squalid impression. Moreover, the condition will get worse when it rains. The roads are transformed into water pools or puddles, which can easily cause accidents if motorists are not careful.
No wonder if some people question why there are so many damaged roads and why repairs do not seem to last long. The government should pay special attention to these problems.
In my opinion, the road should be repaired using the right sort of asphalt, stones an sand. Repairs should be done carefully so that the roads can be prevented from constant damage. Otherwise, the repairs would be useless.

Taken from : Jakarta Post, 2005

20. The main reason why local and road users complain about the poor condition of roads in Jakarta is ….
the roads become into water pools or puddles in rainy season
there is no attention from the government about the problem
it endangers road users when they pass into these roads
the repairs of the roads need more time to do

21. “The government should pay special attention to these problems.”
What does the word "these problems" refer to?
The accidents occurred during rainy season
The worse conditions during the rainy season
The poor condition of the roads
Complaints from locals and road users

22. What is the main idea of paragraph four?
Locals and road users complain to local government about damaged roads in Jakarta
Damaged roads endanger the road users
The writer suggests the government to repair the damaged roads carefully
Repair of the roads is useless

Text for questions 23 to 25

The following text is for questions 11 to 15.

Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world. It was built by a Muslim Emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his dear wife at Agra.
Taj Mahal is a Mausoleum that houses the grave of queen Mumtaz Mahal. The mausoleum is a part of a vast complex comprising of a main gateway, an elaborate garden, a mosque (to the left), a guest house (to the right), and several other palatial buildings. The Taj is at the farthest end of this complex, with the river Jamuna behind it.
The Taj stands on a raised, square platform (186 x 186 feet) with its four corners truncated, forming an unequal octagon. The architectural design uses the interlocking arabesque concept, in which each element stands on its own and perfectly integrates with the main structure. It uses the principles of self-replicating geometry and a symmetry of architectural elements.
Its central dome is fifty-eight feet in diameter and rises to a height of 213 feet. It is flanked by four subsidiary domed chambers. The four graceful, slender minarets are 162.5 feet each. The central domed chamber and four adjoining chambers include many walls and panels of Islamic decoration.
Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble. Its stunning architectural beauty is beyond adequate description, particularly at dawn and sunset. The Taj seems to glow in the light of the full moon. On a foggy morning, the visitors experience the Taj as if suspended when viewed from across the Jamuna river.

Niagara Falls is the most famous water fall in the world because of its beauty and immense size. Niagara Falls is part of the Niagara River. The Niagara is a short river, just 35 miles (56 kilometers) long. It connects Lake Erie and Lake Ontario in eastern North America. East of the river is the United States. West of the river is Canada. About halfway between the two lakes, a sharp drop in the river makes Niagara Falls.
Niagara Falls is actually two giant waterfalls and one smaller one. Goat Island, in New York state, lies between the two main falls. One big waterfall, called American Falls, is on the U.S. side of the river. American Falls has a fairly straight edge. The waterfall is 1,075 feet (328 meters) wide and 182 feet (55 meters) high. A small part of American Falls, located near Goat Island, is called Bridal Veil Falls.
The biggest of the two giant waterfalls is in Canada and is known as the Canadian Falls. It’s also called the Horseshoe Falls because of its horseshoe shape. The curved edge of the Canadian Falls measures 2,200 feet (670 meters) wide, and the water drops 187 feet (57 meters). The Canadian Falls carries nine times more water than the American Falls.
Niagara Falls is a popular tourist attraction. Millions of people come each year to watch the spectacular waterfalls. You can take a boat trip to see the falls from below. You can also watch from observation decks above or beside the falls. You can even enter the Cave of the Winds, a path that takes you to the base of Bridal Veil Falls. Visitors must wear bright-yellow rain jackets to stay dry.
Niagara Falls makes an enormous, ground-shaking roar and a huge cloud of water mist. Rainbows shine through the mist. At night, the falls are lit with colored lights, creating a brilliant display.
