The implementation of job training is to provide a chance for the students to apply all the skills they get in the class and to apply the experience on how to work responsibly and full of discipline. Finally, through the Job Training, the writer can learn how to handle work load and can adapt with work environment situation.
The report is entitled “The translation on the text that desribe the picture inside brochure by using gerund”.

3.2 ‘The Translation of the text that describing the picture inside the brochure by using gerund’.
3.3.1 Explanation

languange for this text, the writer decides to use gerund. Examples below are the pictures that the writer tries to translate :
Data 1:
This brochure is about how to construct GFRP as one of the promising solutions in water distribution especially in the tertiary units. This picture is describing about an activity of a person to put a paint layer on top of the iron gate.
GFRP WATER GATE
(GLASS FIBER REINFORED POLYMER)
Original text for the picture: Proses untuk melapisi pintu besi

activity so I must find the words that show this description. In this case the word would beprocess to cover.
When the writer sees fromwww.free-dictionary.comthe meaning of: Process : a series of action bringing about a result
Cover : place something upon or over to protect or conceal. These phrases combine into:
Process to cover is a series of action to put layer of material covering something else.
Then the writer tries to make the word simple by using reduction to the text by omitting the word process to, so that the phrase changes into cover the iron gateand the wordcoveris a verb.
9
Data 2:
This is the second picture from GFRP WATER GATE that the writer translates. This picture is describing about an activity of a person to weld the key on iron gate construction.
Original text for the picture:
Proses pengelasan kunci pada rangka besi
In instances, when the writer translates “Proses pengelasan kunci pada rangka besi” into the target language, the writer can use word-for-word to translate it into “Process to weld the key on iron frame into the target language, which is an infinitive form but the writer still need to understand the context so that the writer can use an effective word without altering the meaning from the original text. This picture describes about an activity, so the writer must find the word that show this description. In this case the word would beprocess to weld. When the writer sees fromwww.free-dictionary.comthe meaning of:
Process : a series of action bringing about a result Weld : joint two metal parts by applying heat. These phrases combine into:
10
Then the writer tries to make the phrase simple by using reduction to the text by ommiting the word process to, so that the pharase changes into weld the key on iron frameand the wordweldis a verb.
This is still unacceptable because this text is clearly a guide that describes about the activity inside the picture while the meaning of weld the key on iron frameis like telling the reader to do it instead of describing the activity inside the picture. Therefore, the writer can use gerund which is a verb form to make it specific. The use of gerund in this case is by adding –ing to the word weld that becomeswelding. The meaning ofweldingis now changing intoa series of action to joint parts by applying heat, so the writer can replace the wordProcess to weld withweldingand combine it with the key on iron framethat becomeswelding the key on iron frame.
Data 3 :

GFRC WATER GATE
(FIBER GLASS REINFORCED CEMENT)
Original text for the picture: Proses penguatan tiang besi
In instances, when the writer translates “Proses penguatan tiang besi” into the target language, the writer can use word-for-word to translate it into “Process to strengthen the gate pillar” which is an infinitive form but the writer still need to understand the context so that the writer can use an effective word without altering the meaning from the original text. This picture describes about an activity, so the writer must find the word that show this description. In this case the word would beprocess to strengthen.
When the writer sees fromwww.free-dictionary.comthe meaning of: Process : a series of action bringing about a result. Strengthen : increase in strength; make or become stronger. The phrases combine into:
Process to strengthen the gate pillar is a series of action to increase in strength Then, the writer tries to make the phrase simple by using reduction to the text by ommiting the word Process to, so that the phrase changes intostrengthen the gate pillarand the wordstrengthenis a verb.
12
the reader to do it instead of describing the activity inside the picture. Therefore, the writer uses gerund which is a verb form to make it specific. The use of gerund in this case is by adding –ingto the wordstrengthenthat becomesstrengthening. The meaning ofstrengtheningis now changing into a series of action to increase in strength, so we can replace the wordProcess to strengthen withstrengthening and combine it withgate pillarthatbecomes strengthening the gate pillar.
Data 4:
This is the fourth picture from GFRC WATER GATE that the writer translate, This picture is describing about an activity of a person to pour the cement inside the iron gate mold.
Original text for the picture: Pengecoran pintu besi

From the picture and the text, the writer can clearly see the activity that happens. the writer must find the word that show this description. In this case the word would bemold.
13
Mold : Something that is made in. These phrases combine into:
Mold the on iron gate is something that is made inside iron gate.
This is still unacceptable because this text is clearly a guide that describes about the activity inside the picture while the word mold is both a noun and a verb. In order to describe the activity more specific, the writer uses gerund which is a verb form. The use of gerund in this case is by adding– ingto the wordmold becomes molding. The meaning of molding is now changing into something that is made inside iron gate, so the writer can replace the word Mold with Molding and combine it withiron gatethat becomesMolding the iron gate.

From the picture and the text the writer can clearly see the activity that happens. The writer must find the word that show this description. In this case the word would beProcess to neutralize.
When the writer sees fromwww.free-dictionary.comthe meaning of: Process : a series of action bringing about a result. Neutralize : to make (a solution) neutral.
