half. I hope Sukadana would improve their games in the second half.

Event 3
The second half was underway. At the 76 minutes, Sukadana got a corner. The corner was

Topic: Compound Sentence

A. Material
ompund sentence adalah kalimat yang menggabungkan dua klausa yang dapat
berdiri sendiri, yang dihubungkan dengan sebuah kata hubung atau konjungsi.
Salah satu kegunaan menggunakan compound sentences adalah untuk
mengefektifkan kalimat yang akan kamu tulis atau ungkapkan. Di dalam satu
klausa yang dapat berdiri sendiri atau independent clause, kamu harus
menggunakan satu subject dan satu verb.

Dengan demikian, ketika menulis sebuah compound sentence, kamu harus

menggunakan dua subject dan dua verb, karena menggabungkan dua independent
clause. Selain itu, salah satu ciri utama compound sentences adalah
menggabungkan dua indenpendent clause dengan menggunakan konjungsi atau
tanda semicolon (;). Kalau kamu ingin menggunakan konjungsi, maka kamu
menggunakan tanda koma (,) sebelum konjungsi tersebut. Tetapi kalau kamu mau
menggunakan semicolon (;) kamu tidak perlu lagi menggunakan konjungsi.

Nah, konjungsi yang digunakan pada compound sentences adalah coordinating

conjunction.

Cordinating Conjunction
No Coordinating conjunction Meaning
1 For Karena
2 And Dan
3 Nor Tidak
4 But Tetapi
5 Or Atau
6 Yet Belum
7 So Jadi

Jika kamu menggunakan konjungsi, maka kamu harus membubuhi tanda koma (,)
sebelum konjungsi. Tapi kalau kamu menggunakan tanda semicolon, kamu tidak perlu
menggunakan konjungsi lagi. Berikut contohnya:

 Jackson loves coffee, and Nina likes tea. (Jackson sangat suka kopi, dan Nina suka
teh.)
 Jackson loves coffee; Nina likes tea. (Jackson sangat suka kopi; Nina suka teh.)
a) For
Dalam konteks compound sentences, for dapat memiliki makna yang sama dengan
because, atau alasan. Ketika for digunakan, independent clause yang kedua dalam kalimat
gabungan ini akan menjadi alasan dari klausa yang pertama.

Contoh kalimatnya sebagai berikut:

She felt cold, for it was raining. (Perempuan itu merasa dingin, karena cuaca sedang
hujan.)
b) And
And dapat menjadi penghubung klausa yang nilainya setara, menjadi penanda bahwa
klausa yang kedua terjadi setelah klausa yang pertama, dan klausa yang kedua menjadi
hasil dari klausa pertama.

Perhatikan contoh-contoh di bawah ini:

- Penghubung klausa nilai setara: Yogyakarta is in Central Java, and Bandung is in
West Java. (Yogyakarta ada di Jawa Tengah dan Bandung ada di Jawa Barat.)
- Penanda klausa kedua terjadi setelah klausa pertama: There was an earthquake, and
the houses were destroyed. (Terjadi sebuah gempa bumi, dan rumah-rumah telah
hancur.)
c) Nor
Kata hubung nor digunakan dalam compound sentences ketika klausa pertamanya
menggunakan kata negatif neither atau never. Dalam konteks ini, kedua klausa pada
sebuah compound sentence adalah tidak benar atau tidak terjadi. Contoh kalimatnya
adalah sebagai berikut:

- She can’t wistle, nor can she sing. (Perempuan itu tidak bisa bersiul atau juga tidak
bisa bernyanyi.)
Pada klausa kedua, terdapat inversion atau pergantian posisi antara subject dengan
auxiliary verb (kata kerja bantu): can ditulis sebelum she.
d) But
Penggunaan konjungsi but dalam sebuah compound sentence harus disesuaikan dengan
keadaan klausa pertama sifatnya kontras dengan klausa kedua. Misalnya seperti pada
kalimat berikut:

- John ran fast, but he couldn’t catch the bus. (John berlari cepat, tapi ia tidak dapat
mengejar bus itu.)
e) Or
Konjungsi or digunakan ketika menggabungkan dua klausa alternatif. Contohnya sebagai
berikut:

- Will Andrew swim, or will Henry swim? (Akankah Andrew berenang, atau Henry
berenang?)
f) Yet
This conjunction has the similar meaning as the conjunction ‘but’. Jika diartikan, yet
memiliki makna sebagai “tapi di waktu yang bersamaan”, “namun demikian”, dan “tapi
terlepas dari ini.” Contoh kalimatnya adalah sebagai berikut:

- I have lived in Bandung my entire life, yet I never knew all the places in this city.
(Aku telah hidup di Bandung seumur hidupku, tapi aku tidak pernah hapal semua
tempat di kota ini.)
g) So
so dapat bermakna sebagai “karena itu” atau “dan untuk alasan ini.” Berikut adalah
contohnya:

- Jack was feeling sick, so he was absent today. (Jack merasa sakit, karena itu ia tidak
hadir hari ini.)

Topic: Exposition Text

A. Material
Exposition is the description or explanation of background information within a work of
literature. Exposition can cover characters and their relationship to one another, the
setting or time and place of events, as well as any relevant ideas, details, or historical
context.
Some additional key details about exposition:

1. Writers can introduce exposition into a story in a variety of ways, but it appears
across all genres and styles of storytelling.
2. The individual pieces of background information that writers use to create
exposition are known as expository details.
3. The word exposition comes from the Latin word exponere, which means to put
out, exhibit, or explain.
4. Some people use the term "exposition" as if it's a bad thing, which awkwardly
breaks up the flow of a story with chunks of background detail. It's important to
understand that all literature involves some sort of exposition, and it can be done
either well (such that as a reader you almost don't realize it's happening) or badly
(such that it lamely messes up the pacing or energy of the story).

Prologues and epilogues are two tools writers can use to create exposition, providing
readers with information that allows them to better understand the story or themes of
a work of literature.

- A prologue is a short introduction to a work of literature that provides context and

background information for the story that follows, and which may briefly summarize
the story's main events.
- An epilogue is a section at the end of a work of literature which may contextualize,
reflect on, and/or briefly summarize the story's main events, or may give readers
information about what happened to characters after the end of the main story.
