I had a bad day yesterday. First, I woke up one hour late and did not pray Shubuh in congregation at the mosque. It's because my smartphone's alarm didn't ring. Besides, I slept too late at that night. So, I was in such hurry that I didn't have time to have a breakfast. I got dressed so fast that I forgot to wear socks.
Next, I ran out of my house trying to get school in time. Unfortunately, I slipped into a ditch and made my shoes wet. Since I had no time to back home, I kept running to my school.
Finally, carrying wet shoes, I passed the school gate which was almost closed. Then, I asked permission from a teacher on duty for attending the class without shoes. After She heard my story, she granted. Then I put my shoes in the sun, right in front of my class, and went into the class right after. It was a terrible day. I hope I never have a day like the one I had yesterday.

Ujang: it’s good to meet you Mr. Jajang
Mr. Jajang: Good to meet you too. But please, call me Jajang.


POINTS TO REMEMBER
• Many beginning learners use the expression “Nice to meet you” even when they interact with a person they have already been introduced to. This expression (Nice to meet you) is only used at a first meeting, not after that. Instead, if greeting a person for the second time, use “Nice to see you again”
• Bye Bye is an expression that very young children use when they are first beginning to learn to talk or on very rare occasions by women, but almost never by most adults.

Passive Voice in English

Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action

When to use passive voice

• Use passive voice when you do not wish to emphasize the subject of the sentence. 
• Also use passive voice when you wish to emphasize what happened and the person or thing acting is unknown or unimportant.  

In a passive clause, we usually use a phrase

beginning with by if we want to mention the agent–the person or thing that does the action, or that causes what happens.

• Water is also released into the atmosphere by plants through photosynthesis.

We normally make passive forms of a verb by using tenses of the auxiliary be followed by the past participle (=pp) of the verb. Here is a list of all the passive forms of an ordinary English verb, with their names.

Jurus Jitu Menguasai Irregular Verbs

Cara membedakan irregular verbs salah satunya dengan mengamati keunikan yang ada dalam kelompok kata. Dengan memahami perbedaan dan keunikan yang dikelompokkan, saya optimis kamu bisa menguasai irregular verbs dengan mudah. Menguasai irrefular verbs bisa dengan cara menghafalnya. Memang, cara tersebut terkesan kuno dan trik jadul. Tapi, berdasarkan pengalaman saya, menghafalkan kosa kata Bahasa Inggris cukup membantu saya dalam mempelajari Bahasa Inggris.
Caranya, dengan menghafal minimal 5 kata per hari disertai dengan menerapkannya dalam bentuk kalimat acak. Selama menghafal kosa kata Bahasa Inggris, saya menuliskan kalimat dan melakukan monolog dengan kosa kata tersebut. Dalam menulis kalimat menggunakan Bahasa Inggris, mungkin kita bisa berfikir terlebih dahulu, kalimat apa, dengan kata apa, tenses nya mau yang mana, dlsb. Sehingga, dari segi hasil mungkin bisa lebih baik dan bisa terhindar dari kesalahan. Meski terkadang, karena banyak mikir, kalimat yang dihasilkan jadi sedikit. Tapi, dengan monolog, kita dituntut untuk secara spontan menerapkan kata yang sedang kita hafalkan dalam kalimat yang terlintas dalam ingatan kita. Misalnya, saat kita sedang bercermin, kita mengatakan "I won't let you go" "what are you doing?" "I am sleeping" "I slept last night" "i didn't sleep last night" dan seterusnya, sampai kita merasa sudah cukup.
