Caroline Amsterdam February 10, 2017 Good day, Pak Bima, Happily not too cold yet, at least from a Dutch perspective! Yesterday nice weather, lots of sunshine (and a beautiful full moon at night, meaning no clouds), but today very rainy, quite unusual, about 15°C, not too bad. Certainly no tropical temperature! Thank you so much for your letter. It’s good to hear from you (also it’s very well written, my compliments). Judging from what I read, I think your daughter might just be doing exactly the right thing. She likes math, she likes research and perhaps the distance between study (here) and family (there) gives her even more motivation. I think it’s very exciting, for her and f or you too, and I also think it’s very good of you to support her in this ‘adventure’ that in itself deserves a lot of respect. Yeah, so maybe it will be possible to meet up with your daughter, at least to say hello. I work in an elementary school, here in Amsterdam, and because the new school year has only just started, there is a lot of work to manage. I feel very fortunate that I’m doing it! Anyway ... so who knows, perhaps we can meet, we’ll see. My best regards, take care. See you, Caroline

I must say, I really envy you getting that Tokyo gig with the company. Somehow they overlooked me on that one and I am forced to slug it out here. I heard through the breeze that business is going well there. Rumor has it that you guys are just about to close a big deal with the government for an M-750 Simulator. GreaLnewsLGood for the company end good for you. Keep up the great work! Did you hear about Margie Bronson suddenly leaving the company just before year-end? It was a bit of a shock to say the least. She gave one week’s notice and was gone. Nobody knows for sure what’s up with her, but rumors have been flying fast and furious that she went through a bit of a personal meltdown and has now gone underground to lick her wounds for a while. There could be some truth to that since her long time relationship ended recently and three months ago she was passed over for that director position that was up for grabs. I’ll keep you posted when we find out more. As for me, I am quite busy these days on the Branscombe Systems Project. We are entering Phase Two now, and that is expected to run for three years, at least. Frank Schindler is Senior Project Manager and I am Team Leader of the Embedded Systems Group. I am enjoying it so far. Whether I’ll feel the same way in three years, I’m not sure. By then I might be ready to join you in Japan. I’m still kicking butt in the squash court and am managing to get in two or three matches per week. What about squash in Japan? Have you been able to play any over there? Are there even any squash courts? I suppose since you are in Tokyo, there must be some. Let me know. I have to go now and attend to family duties. Jonathon needs some help with his homework and Angie wants me to fix something in the kitchen. You single guys traveling the world sure are lucky! Keep me posted whenever you can.

Supporting Feature Grammar Connectors Showing Cause and Effect Read the following sentences and pay attention to the words in bold. 1. People living on its slope should be alert because this very active volcano often erupts suddenly. 2. They have to keep their belongings and animals. Therefore, they are not willing to evacuate. 3. My cousin will be arriving today, so I have to fetch him from the railway station. 4. I am not sure he will agree since he must be tired. The words in bold are connectors. The words ‘because’ and ‘since’ are used to show causes, while the words ‘therefore’ and ‘so’ are used use d to show effects/results. Now, let’s study about called connectors showing cause and effect 1. Connectors Showing Cause To state causes, we can use several words, such as because, as, since, for. The words ‘because’, ‘as’, ‘since’, ‘for’ are followed by complete sentences or clauses. See the following examples. Amelia called her close friend because she missed her. Alby goes to school by bus for his bicycle is broken. Meanwhile, the sentence connectors may be positioned at the beginning of sentences. In this case, we must use a comma between the clauses. Examples: Because she missed her close friend, Amelia called her. Since the biology teacher was sick, Mr. Nando taught the students. As the road is being repaired, we have to take another route.
Notes: ‘As’ and ‘since’ are very similar. ‘As’ is less formal than ‘since’ The clauses that start with ‘as’ and 'since' often be gin sentences ‘For’ never comes never comes at the beginning of sentence
2. Connectors Showing Effects/Results To state effects, we can use several words, such as so, therefore, as a result, consequently , etc. All of them are followed by complete sentences or clauses. The word ‘so’ is a coordinating conjunction, while ‘therefore’, ‘as a result’, ‘consequently’ are conjunctive adverbs.
See the difference between them in sentences, as follows. Conjunctive Adverb (Therefore', 'Consequently', ‘As a result') 1. The biology teacher was sick, so Mr. 1. The biology teacher was sick.Therefore, Nando taught the students. Mr. Nando taught the students. 2. The road is being repaired, so we have 2. The road is being repaired. Conseque Consequently ntly to take another route. we have to take another route. 3. Maya Is smart and behaves very well, 3. Maya is smart and behaves very well. As so she is appointed the model student a result, she Is appointed the model student. Coordinating Conjunction ('So')
Note: Connectors showing causes can be placed at the beginning of sentences, but connectors showing effects/results cannot

There are reasons why you shouldn’t watch too many horror movies. Horror movies can make viewers develop anxiety and phobia. These effects mostly happen on kids and teens. Many children and teens do not yet have the life experience to put horror movies into real life perspective, putting them at risk for lingering anxiety. They become easily worried whenever they are alone. They are afraid the scary scenes from the movies might actually happen to them. Children and teens even develop a phobia after watching horror movies. They are afraid of spiders, bats, cats and many others because they see them as scary creatures in the movies. Watching horror movies can also put you to have a sleeping disorder. Many adults and children have trouble sleeping immediately after watching a scary movie. Shadows seem intimidating, noises are magnified and dreams are often unsettling. For most people, these effects are short-lived. In few cases, however, sleep disturbances persist for weeks, months or
even years. Minimize the effects of scary movies by watching them during the day, keeping the lights on, or doing something silly before bed. Adopted from: http://www.livestrong.com/article/1004470lasting- effects-horror-movies-children-teens/ (September 10. 2017)

Supporting Feature Text - Poem A poem is quite similar to song lyrics that they consist of verses. They convey the writer’s feeling, thoughtor imagination. They usually have rhyming words (last sound where two or more words in a line or verse which have similar sounds). Pay attention to first stanza of the above song and poem Song: When the cold wind’s a-callin A And the sk is clear and bri ht B Mist mountains sin and beckon C Lead me out into the light (B) Poem: Out o the ni ht that covers me A Black as the pit from pole to pole, B 1 thank whatever ods ma be A For m uncon uerable soul. B
The words in the song ‘bright’ and ‘light’ which are signed with (B) have the same sound. Meanwhile, the words in the poem ‘me’ and ‘be’ which are signed with (A) have the same sound and the words ‘pole’ and ‘soul’ which are signed with (B) also have the same sound. The kind of rhyme which has the same sound of the last rhyme is called end rhyme.
Here are types of end rhymes. 1. ABAB is one of the most common rhyme schemes. It means that the first and third line (A with A), as do the second and fourth (B with B)
2.
3.
4.
5.
Example: A - In the fell clutch of circumstance B - I have not winced nor cried aloud. A - Under the bludgeonings of chance B - My head is bloody, but unbowed. ABCB is another common rhyme scheme and is a great reminder not to feel pressured to find a rhyming partner for every line; A and C are unmatched, making the Bs the only rhyming pair. Example: A - Roses are red B - Violets are blue C - Sugar is sweet B - And so are you. AABB is rhyme which divides a section of four lines into two rhymed couplets, each of which sounds kind of complete in itself. Example: A - The joy comes to calm heart A - Pure soul never hurt B - Give everybody happiness B - Make your days full of joyfulness AAAA, also known as monorhyme, is rhyme scheme which has the same sound at the end of the words in a verse. Example: A -1 will ride, I will fly A - Chase the wind and touch the sky A-I will fly A - Chase the wind and touch the sky Though traditional rhyme schemes are useful and fun to work with, feel free to forgo them for something much looser if it suits your needs. Example: A - And indeed there will be time B - For the yellow smoke that slides along the street, C - Rubbing its back upon the window-panes; A - There will be time, there will be time B - To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet; D - There will be time to murder and create, E - And time for all the works and days of hands D - That lift and drop a question on your plate; F - Time for you and time for me, G - And time yet for a hundred indecisions G - And for a hundred visions and revisions F - Before the taking of a toast and tea

There are also poetic devices that are used in writing songs and poems, such as follows. 1 . Simile, is used to compare two unlike things using ‘like’ or ‘as’. Examples: You are as sweet as sugar. My life runs fast like a cheetah
2 . Metaphor, is used to compare two things without using ‘like’ or ‘as’. Examples: The power in my soul is such a bull. My mother is a rock for all of us.
3 . Personification, is used to give human qualities to inanimate figures/objects. Examples: The wind dances with the waves. It was time to go home, but the bell refused to ring.
4 . Hyperbole, is used to exaggerate things beyond limit. Examples: My mom has a diamond ring as big as a mountain. I ate a sandwich that was bigger than a train.
5 . Alliteration is used when there is a repetition of consonants at the beginning of the words. Examples: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Silly Sally swiftly shooed seven silly sheep.
6 . Onomatopoeia, are words that sound like the names of words. Examples: She splashed the water on me. The lion was growling

Look at the picture. What does it tell you about? What objects are involve: r re process? Describe the picture briefly. There are many natural phenomena that happen or occur on Earth, such as how rain is formed, why a rainbow occurs and how a tsunami occurs. Besides, there are also social phenomena happening in our surroundings. Do you know how to explain all the phenomena to others? For your information, whenever you compose a text to describe how a certain phenomenon happen or occur, you use an explanation text. In this chapter you will learn further about explanation texts. Besides, you will also learn how to inform of an action/activity/event without mentioning the agent because you want to emphasize the process or result of the action/activity/event.It means you use passive voice. Study all the materials and do the available exercises attentively.
TASK 1 Look at the picture carefully Answer the following questions based on your ideas
Questions: 1. What does the picture show? 2. What volcanoes do you know? 3. What is the biggest volcanic eruption that you know? Why? 4. How does a volcano erupt? 5. Why is a volcanic eruption destructive? 6. How could a volcanic eruption change the weather?
TASK 2 Read the following text. Discuss the linguistic features of the text by answering the questions.
How Volcanoes are Formed? Have you ever wondered how volcanoes are formed? A volcano is a vent or an opening on the earth’s surface which allows molten rock called magma, volcanic ash and gases to escape out onto its surface. Volcanoes are formed whenever there is a crack in the crust of the earth. A tube-like passage connects a chamber of magma (molten rock) at the center of the earth to the earth’s crust. When the pressure builds up in the chamber, the magma, gases and ash are pushed up through to the top of the tube on the earth’s surface known as vent. The red-hot magma that escapes to flow over the Earth’s surface is called lava which, when cools, forms into rocks. In fact, the mountains we see today are nothing but solidified lava from previously erupted volcanoes.

Questions: 1. What is the purpose of the text? 2. What tense(s) is used in the text? 3. Why does the text use the tense(s)? 4. What kinds of verbs are used: action, verbal, or mental verbs? 5. Why does the text use such verb form? 6. What conjunctions or sentence connectors are used in the text? 7. What are the functions of the conjunctions or sentence connectors? 8. Are there any technical verbs in the text? What are they and what do they mean?
Supporting feature - Explanation Text
The text in TASK 2 is an example of an explanation text. The text explains the ways a volcano is formed. An explanation text is a non-fiction text that the purpose is to describe how or why a certain phenomenon happens or occurs. It shall includes a sequence of events (explaining how) and provides reasons for a process or phenomenon (why). For your information, there are two types of explanation text. 1. Sequential explanation: describes natural and non-natural phenomena, for example a water cycle. 2. Cause-effect explanation: links cause-and effects in explaining how and why an event occurred, for example how volcanoes erupted. Like other text types, an explanation text has also a specific text structure, as fo • A title/introduction that identifies the topic to be explained. • An opening statement (general statement) that identifies the process to be explained • A sequence of explanations that describe how and why. • A conclusion/closing that puts all the information together. It is optional. Linguistic • • • • • • • • •
features: Focuses on general nouns rather than specific ones. Use of linking words like in general, rather, for instance. Use of action verbs like breaks, erupts. Use of present tense like is, wake, are. Reference to people should not be given. Passive voice may be used like are pushed, is called. Use of technical terms and language relevant to the subject.

TASK 7 Read the following text. Ray attention to the words in bold. What do they mean?
There are three different ways of turning moist air into cloud, so that it rains or snow. They are frontal rain, orographic rain and convective rain. Now let’s understand how convective rain occurs. Convective rain is produced by convective clouds. Convective clouds are formed in vertical motions that result from instability of the atmosphere. One way that the atmosphere can become unstable is by heating from the sun. The ground warms up, causing moisture in the ground to evaporate and rise, and the hot ground also heats the air above it. As the water vapor rises, it cools and condenses into clouds and eventually rain. When the air is heated from below like this, much like in a boiling kettle, it will produce “bubbles” of rising air, known as updraughts. These are much smaller than the large-scale lifting of air that occurs at fronts and over mountain ranges. This tends to give us smaller areas of rain, with clear' spells in betwen. This rain is commonly referred to as “sunshine and showers” in the UK. This type of rainfall is most common in the south and east of the UK, where it is typically warmer. This area is also prone to very heavy showers and thunderstorms. This is because the warmer air can hold more water.

Supporting Feature Grammar - Passive Voice Read the following sentences taken from the text in TASK 7. 1. Convective rain is produced by convective clouds. 2. Convective clouds are formed in vertical motions .... 3. When the air is heated from below like this, .... The verbs in bold in the above sentences have passive meanings. Therefore, the sentences are called passive voice. We use passive voice: 1. when we want to focus on the person or object affected by the action, or the action itself; 2. when it is not important who or what performed; 3. when the subject is unknown; 4. when we intend to be more formal, as in most forms of academic writing. Here are the ways to change active sentences into passive sentences. 1. The subject of an active sentence becomes the object of a passive sentence. 2. The object of an active sentence becomes the subject of a passive sentence, usually preceded by a preposition ‘by’, known as ‘by agent’. ‘By agent’ is not always stated in a passive sentence. 3. The verb is changed into be + past participle (V3). The form of ‘be’ depends on the tense of the sentence (past, present, future) and the subject of the sentence (singular or plural). See the changes below. Active : Carla drove Anita to the cinema.

Most scientific or academic texts can be characterized by the frequent use of passive voice. There are a few reasons of it. 1. Often in scientific or academic writing, we don’t want to focus on who is performing, but on who is receiving or experiencing the action. The passive voice allows writers to highlight the most important participants or events within sentences by placing them at the beginning of the sentence Example: The passive sentence focuses on how glass is Active: Scientists classify glass as a solid. classified, rather than on Passive: Glass is classified as a solid. who classifies glass.
The passive construction is preferable because the writer wants readers to focus on the result of an action rather than the person performing. 2. In scientific or academic writing occasionally it is obvious, irrelevant or repetitive to state who the ‘writer’ of the sentence is: thus the passive voice is a useful way to construct these types of sentences. It is also a way that the use of informal personal pronouns can be avoided. Examples: One type of work group, the semi-autonomous It is obvious that it is the author who will be work group, is discussed in a section later in doing the discussion. this chapter.
The group was formed to last for only the lifetime of a particular project, Hand-washing practices of staff were observed by 4 members of the nursing staff on rostered shifts. Hand-washing, or failure to wash one's hands, following patient contact was recorded. Leaving the area without washing one’s hands was deemed a failure to wash. The seeds found in ant nests were counted.
It is irrelevant to the reader here who did the forming. The passive is used to avoid repeated reference to the known performer of the act(l.e. the observers). The passive allows you to avoid using a personal pronoun (... by us).
3. Occasionally, in academic writing it might be expedient to use the passive voice in order to avoid naming the ‘performer’ of an action so that the message of your text is less inflammatory.
