The Pelican Report
The white pelican is one of the most succesful fish eating
birds.
The success is largely due to its command hunting
behavior. A group, perhaps two dozen birds, will gather in
a curved src some distance off shore. The bird then begin
to move forward towards the shore, beating the water
furiously with their wings, driving the fish before them
When the water is shallow enough for the bird to reach the
fish, the formaion breaks up as each dips its bill into the
water to scoops up its meal. As the bird lifts its head, the
water drains from its bill leaving the fish which are then
swallowed Pelicans are among the oldest group of birds.

million years.

While I realise my leaded petrol car is polluting the 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.
Those who want to penalise older , leaded petrol vehicles
and their owners donn’t seem to appreciate thet in the
country there is no public transport to fall back upon and
ones own vehicle is the only way to get about.
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

Harry Pooter and the Order of the Phoenix
I absoluttely love the Harry Potter series,and all of the
books will always hold a special place in my heart.
I have to say that off all of the books,however, this was not
my favorite.
When the series began it was as much of a “feel good”
experience as a huge mug of hot cocoa. The stories were
bright, fast-paced, intriguing, and ultimately satisfying.
13
Tafsiran
Rangkuman
Order of the Phoenix is a different kind of book. In some
instances this works… you feel a whole new level of
intensity truly moved by the last page. Other time the book
just has slightly a reary, depressing feel. The galloping
pace of the other books has slowed to a trot here, and parts
of it do seem long, as if we’re reading all about Harry “just
hanging out” instead of having his usual adventures.
Reading in detail about Herry cleaning up an old house, for
example-housekeeping is still housekeeping, magical or
not, and I’m not very interest in doing it or reading about
other people doing it.
A few other changes in this book-the “real” would come
much more in to ply rather than the fantasy universe of the
previous book, and Harry has apparently been taken of his
meds. I know that he had a lot to be grumpy in this book,
especially with being a teenager and all, but the sudden
change in his character seemed too drastic. He goes from
being a warm-heart, considerated person to someone who
will bite his best friend’s heads of over nothing. It just
seemed like it didn’t fit his character, like he turned into a
walking clich of the “angry teen” overnight.

umum
Where did bears come from? Bear as we know him has bot
axisted on this earth for every long period of time, but his
predecessor may go back many hundreds of years. Most
authorities now believe that the handsome, two legged bear
of today evolved from a single celled organism a speck of
dust perhaps. Then gradually, through natural selection and
survival of the speck, cotton wool balls developed. We do
not know exactly when the frist soft furnishing appeared

on earth, but they must have been very simple beings.

In the beginning was the Cushion. Not a very ampressive
object – simply a lump of padding material held together
with some sort of covering – but from this induspicious
start developed two reptilian forms that were the direct
ancettors of modern bear.
Penjelasan

One of the first evolutionary step occurred when a mutant,
misshaped cushion was created. He must have appeared
very strange to his fellow cushions, but he was the first
bean bag frog. Filled with bean, rice or other non-toxic
substance, he had two eyes and four legs. Bean Bag Frogs,
however, were pretty on kind, being incredibly floppy, and
in water they tended to sink.

At about the same time as the time as the Bean Bag Frog
was emerging, the Cushion was developing along different
lines into the draught excluder. At first merely a long thin
Cushion, it graduallyeveloped eyes, a forked tongue and an
a patternbody, its tendency to lie along the bottom of
draughty doors perhaps points to the lack of an efficient
body cooling mechanism.

From these rather basic creatures the first Toy Dog
developed. Long and thin like a Drought Excluder, and
with four leg like a Bean Bag Frog, he still had difficulty in
muving about owing to his very short appendages.

DIRECT - INDIRECT (Reported Speech)
Ketika kita merubah kalimat langsung menjadi kalimat tidak langsung, ada
beberapa hal yang mengalami perubahan diantaranya perubahan tenses, struktur kalimat,
pronoun (kata ganti orang), Possessive (kata ganti kepemilikan), keterangan waktu, dan
tempat.
Perubahan pronoun dan possessive tergantung kepada sabjek dan objek yang
dipakai di kalimat langsung/tidak langsung.
Jika kalimat langsung adalah kalimat tanya maka ketika kalimat itu diulang
(kalimat tidak langsung) tidak membentuk kata tanya lagi tetapi menjadi kalimat berita.
Kata penghubungnya adalah if/whether dan what, why, where, when, who, how. Begitu
pula jika kalimat langsung adalah kalimat perintah maka di kalimat tidak langsung menjadi
kalimat berita. Kata penghubungnya adalah (+) to infinitive/V1, (-) not to infinitive/V1

PASSIVE VOICE (kalimat pasif)
Kalimat passif adalah kalimat dimana subjek dikenai tindakan/pekerjaan,
sedangkan kalimat aktif subjeklah yang melakukan tindakan/pekerjaan.
Hal yang perlu diperhatikan dalam merubah aktif ke pasif adalah:
· Yang dapat dijadikan kalimat passive adalah Verbal Sentence (kalimat yang
predikatnya kata kerja/V)
· Verbal sentence yang dapat dirubah ke Passive Voice (kalimat pasif) adalah kalimat
yang memiliki objek penderita.
· Perubahan aktif ke pasif atau sebaliknya tidak merubah makna kalimat. Perubahan iti
terjadi hanya pada struktur kalimatnya saja.
· Ciri kalimat pasif/passive voice adalah to be + V3 dan kata by (kata ini bukan
merupakan syarat yang harus ada dalam kalimat pasif )
Contoh : (Aktive) Bajuri loves Oneng
S P/V1 O
(Passive) Oneng is loved by Bajuri.
S P/V3
(Active) I bought a new motorcycle last week.
31
(passive) A new motorcycle was bought by me last week

Kunci Menaklukkan STRUCTURE AND WRITTEN EXPRESSION dalam TOEFL
STRUCTURE AND WRITTEN EXPRESSION
Structure and Written Expression adalah bagian kedua yang diujikan dalam ujian TOEFL. Ini
dimaksudkan untuk mengetahui kompetensi Anda dalam hal Tata Bahasa di dalam bahasa Inggris.
Pertanyaaan yang diujikan dalam bagian ini sebanyak 40 soal yang dibagi ke dalam dua model, yaitu
structure question dan wriiten expression questions. Durasi waktu yang disediakan hanya selama 25
menit.
STRUCTURE
Model pertama structure questions terdiri dari lima belas pertanyaan, yaitu terdapat pada soal
nomor 1 sampai 15. bagian pertama ini digunakan untuk menguji kemampuan Anda dalam
memahami struktur kalimat dalam bahasa Inggris secara benar.
41
Pengujian pada model ini menggunakan format structure completion, yaitu pada lembar soal, Anda
akan menjumpai bagian kalimat yang masih kosong/belum lengkap. Anda harus melengkapinya
dengan salah satu dari empat pilihan jawaban (A, B, C atau D) yang tersedia.
Contoh :
Young children ....................playing active games such as chasing, hide and seek, and tag.
(A) enjoy
(B) enjoys
(C) enjoying
(D) does enjoy
Anda harus memilih salah satu dari keekmpat jawaban tersebut yang paling tepat. Pada kalimat di
atas, Anda harus mengidentifikasikan kekurangan dari kalimat tersebut. Pilihan yang paling mungkin
adalah (A) dan (B), tetapi children mengacu pada kata benda jamak, sehingga (B) tidak bisa diterima
maka jawaban yang tepat adalah (A).
WRITTEN EXPRESSION
Model ini meliputi dua puluh lima pertanyaanya terdapat mulai soal nomor 16 sampai 40. bagian ini
terutama ditujukan untuk mengetahui kemampuan dan pengetahuan Anda tentang bentuk-bentuk
ekspresi yang digunakan dalam tulisan berbahas Inggris. Pada bagian ini Anda diminta untuk
mengidentifikasi bagian yang tidak tepat dalam sebuah kalimat. Bagian yang tidak tepat ini terdapat
pada salah satu dari empat kata atau kelompok kata yang diberi tanda garis bawah.
Contoh :
There are thousands of kinds of bacteria, most of which is harmless to humans.
A B C D
Selanjutnya Anda harus mengidentifikasikan bagian mana yang salah dari keempat kata/kelompok
kata yang diberi garis bawah. Dengan pengamatan yang teliti akhirya Anda menemukan bahwa
pilihan (C) merupakan komponen penyusun kalimat yang salah karena “most of which” merujuk pada
noun yang jamak. Dengan demikian verb yang tepat bukanlah “is” melainkan “are”.
Berikut beberapa kunci mendasar yang harus Anda pahami dalam mengerjakan soal-soal structure
and written expression..
KUNCI UMUM
I. Pahamilah bentuk-bentuk perintah (direction) pada masing-masing bagian (part) dengan baik
sebelum hari H ujian.
II. Kerjakanlah soal-soal structure terlebih dahulu.
III. Lanjutkan pada soal-soal written expression.
KUNCI STRUCTURE
I. Pertama-tama perhatikan kalimat yang dipertanyakan dalam soal.
II. Perhatikan masing-masing jawaban yang tersedia, pilihlah yang paling tepat untuk melengkapi
kalimat yang dipersoalkan.
III. Jangan pernah mengeliminasi sebuah pilihan jawaban dengan hanya melihat pada jawaban tanpa
melihat kalimat soal.
KUNCI WRITTEN EXPRESSION
I. Pertama-tama perhatikan kata yang digarisbawahi dan temukan secara cepat bagian mana yang
tidak tepat.
42
II. Bila soal yang Anda hadapi tidak bisa diidentifikasi hanya dengan melihat kata atau kelompok kata
yang bergaris bawah, segeralah membaca kalimat secara lengkap.
