Menyusun teks interaksi transaksional lisan dan tulis yang melibatkan tindakan memberi dan meminta informasi terkait keharusan melakukan suatu tindakan/kegiatan pada waktu yang akan datang, saat ini, atau waktu lampau, dengan memperhatikan fungsi sosial, struktur teks, dan unsur kebahasaan yang benar dan sesuai konteks.


                                                      LEARNING GOALS
After studying this chapter, the students are expected to be able to identify the social function, text structure and language features of monologue and written text about asking and giving obligation, recommendation, advice or opinion, correction, expectation. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Should" is a modal verb. We often use "should" when we say what we think is a good thing to do or the right thing to do.
e.g. The government should do something about the economy.
        Should we invite Susan to the party? Yes, I think we should. 

"Shouldn't" means that it is not a good thing to do.
e.g. You've been coughing a lot lately. You shouldn't smoke so much.
        Tom really shouldn't go out. He has too much homework to do.

"Should" is not as strong as Must.
e.g. You should stop smoking (means It would be a good idea to stop smoking).
        You must stop smoking (means It is necessary that you stop smoking).

In giving advice, Should" and "Had Better" are commonly used.
e.g. I think you should take more exercise. 
       I think you had better do more exercise.

Pattern: Should + (Simple)

Affirmative

Subject

Negative

When you say that "You should be doing something", you mean that it is the best thing to do or what somebody is expected to do at this moment.
e.g. I really should be studying for my exam tomorrow.
       (= I'm not doing it yet, but I think it is a good idea to it right now).

Pattern: Should + (continuous)

Affirmative

Subject

be

Verb-ing

Negative

Should not

Interrogative

When we use "Should have done", it means that: 
           - it was the right thing to do but we didn't do it.
           - we expected something to happen, but it didn't. 

e.g. Henry should have finished his work two days ago, (but he didn't).
       He made an impolite statement. As a student, he shouldn't have said such a thing. (but he did).

Pattern: Should + (perfect)

Affirmative

Subject

should

have

When do we use SHOULD in English?

1. To give advice, a recommendation or a suggestion

This is to say that it is the right thing to do or the correct thing.

  • You should see the new Star Wars movie. It’s great!
  • He should go to the dentist if his tooth still hurts.
  • The test is next week. We should study for it now.
  • You should try that new restaurant on Main Street.

2. To express that a situation is likely in the present or in the future. This is a type of expectation or prediction.

  • Mary should be at home now. Give her a call.
  • He should have the letter now. I sent it last week.
  • Our team should win the game on Saturday. (Because we have been training all month so it is our expectation, or prediction that we will win.)
  • It should be sunny tomorrow. 

3. Expresses an obligation that is not as strong as Must.

Sometimes Should is used instead of Must to make rules, orders or instructions sound more polite.

This may appear more frequently on formal notices or on information sheets.

  • Applications should be sent before the 30th.
  • He should drive more carefully.
  • Everyone should wear a seatbelt in a car.
  • You should pay more attention in class.

All of the above example sentences can have must instead of should making the obligation stronger and less polite.

For example: Applications must be sent before the 30th.

4. Something was expected in the past but it didn’t happen (should + have + past participle)

This expresses the idea that the subject did not fulfill their obligation in the past or did not act responsibly.

  • Anna is late. She should have arrived by now.
  • should have called Fred this morning but I forgot.
  • You should have given your boss the report yesterday when he asked for it.

5. Not fulfilling an obligation (should + be + verb-ing)

This expresses the idea that someone is not fulfilling their obligation or is not acting sensibly right now.

  • You should be wearing your seatbelt. (The person isn’t wearing one right now)
  • We should be studying for the exam. (We are not studying right now and we should be studying)

6. Sometimes should is replaced by ought to without a change in meaning. Note that ought to sounds more formal and is used less frequently.

  • You ought to go home now. (= You should go home now)
  • She ought to take her dog for more walks. (= She should take her dog…)
  • They ought to stop doing that. (= They should stop doing that)

CAUSE AND EFFECT RELATIONSHIP



What is Cause and Effect Relationship?

    Cause and Effect is a relationship between events or things, where one is the result of the other or others. This is a combination of action and reaction. (https://examples.your dictionary.com/cause-and- effect-examples.html)

    The examples of Cause and Effect in sentence:

  • When water is heated, the molecules move quickly. Therefore, the water boils.
  • A tornado blew the roof off the house, and as a result, the family had to find another place to live.
  • Because the alarm was not set, we were late for work. 
  • The moon has gravitational pull. Consequently the oceans have tides.
  • Since school was canceled, we went to the mall.
  • John made a rude comment, so Elise hit him.
  • When the ocean is extremely polluted, coral reefs die. 
  • The meal we ordered was cheaper than expected, so we ordered dessert.
  • Since helium rises, a helium balloon floats.

   

  Ways to express a cause

  • because (conjunction) means "for the reason that".
          e.g." Why does the brain tissue not feel pain?" "Because it lacks pain receptors."
  • because of (preposition) means "as a result of".
         e.g. Roads can be much harder because of heavy snow.
  • due to (preposition) means "caused by".
         e.g. When our muscles warm up due to exertion, we sweat more.


Expressing Effect
  • (be) caused by ... 
        e.g. The illness is caused by a virus. (the illness is effect, a virus is a cause).
  • can + verb 1 
        e.g. Heavy snowfall can paralyze transportation. (heavy snowfall is cause, paralyze transportation is effect).

SONG LYRICS (GRADE XII)

 


A song is a short musical composition with words. The purpose of the song is to entertain the listeners or audiences.


A.          Structure of a song:

§  Intro: It is a brief introduction passage to the song. It is filled with the leading music before the vocals come in.

§  Verse: It is the content of a song. In the verse, we can find the meaning, the feel, the concept, and the theme of the song.

§  Chorus: It is part of a song that is repeated at least once, both lyrically and musically. A chorus usually plays a role as the catchy part in a song.

§  Bridge: It is the part of a song that has relatively different melody from the rest of the song. The bridge creates the contrast and adds a richer dimension to a song.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

[title]                            A Sky Full of Stars

Coldplay

[intro]                        (an intro music)

 

[verse 1]                        'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
I'm gonna give you my heart
'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
'Cause you light up the path

[chorus]                         I don't care, go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do, ooh
'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars
I think I saw you

[verse 2]                        'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
I wanna die in your arms
'Cause you get lighter the more it gets dark
I'm gonna give you my heart

[chorus]                       I don't care, go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do, ooh
'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars
I think I see you
I think I see you

[bridge]                        'Cause you're a sky, you're a sky full of stars
Such a heavenly view 

                                     You're such a heavenly view

   B.    Poetic Devices

            Like a poem, a song also consists of intrinsic and extrinsic elements. One of the intrinsic elements is the poetic devices (figurative language).

            Poetic devices are tools that a poet can use to create rhythm and enhance the meaning or intensify the mood or feeling. A song (to an extent) is similar to a poem; thus, many song writers also use similar poetic devices to create the wanted rhythm and mood. Some of the poetic devices often used in a song are as follow:

*     Simile compares two objects using specific words or comparison, such as “ like” od “as”.

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?

*Metaphor compares two unlike things without using “like” or “as”.

You’re picture perfect blue.

*     Hyperbole purposefully exaggerates something for dramatic effects.

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire.

*     Imagery uses words/phrases that use the five senses to form mental images.

The taste of dirt lingered in his mouth, 

*     Onomatopoeia imitates sounds with the use of words.

The drum went bang. 

*     Rhyme refers to the similarly of ending sounds existing between two words.

There she stood in front of me

Stripped me bear for the world to see 

*     Repetition refers to the repeating of words, phrases, lines, or stanzas.

It’s not about money, money, money

 

B.    Making Inferences the song lyrics

Since a song is basically an audio, to properly infer the meaning of a song, we need to listen to it. Yet, having the printed lyrics is also recommended. Here are some steps that you can follow:

Ø  Listen to the song carefully several times. Listen to it blankly (without reading the lyric), and then also listen to it while reading the lyrics.

Ø  Think about what the song is about and why. Pay close attention to the chorus(=refrain) because it was most likely chosen by the songwriter to emphasize a particular message.

Ø  You should also consider the type of music chosen, such as the particular beat or tempo, the type of music and the rhythm, the low or high notes, and how these features add to the message the songwriter is trying to convey.

Ø  Ask questions about the content of the lyrics and the feel of the music. How do they correlate or contradict?

Ø  Make some predictions to answer your questions.

Ø  Use your background knowledge to help you interpret and make inferences,



👀 PRACTICE

2. Find the poetic devices of the song, minimally 3.


Happy learning and have a blessed Ramadhan!
