Issue

The Advantage and Disadvantage of Nuclear Power

Nuclear power is generated by using uranium which is a metal mined in various part of the world. The first large scale of nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall in Cumbria, England in 1956.

Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power plant for engine. Nuclear power produces around 11% of the world's energy needed, and produces huge amounts of energy. It cause no pollution as we would get when burning fossil fuels. The advantages of nuclear plant are as follow:

It costs about the same coal, so it is not expansive to make.

It does not produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it does

passive voice

(17)

Modul Guru Pembelajar Bahasa Inggris Kelompok Kompetensi Profesional G 7 Supporting Point not contribute to the greenhouse effect.

It produces huge amounts of energy from small amount of uranium.

It produces small amount of waste. It is reliable.

Contrasting Point

On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very

dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried for many

years to allow the radioactivity to die away. Furthermore,

although it is reliable, a lot of money has to be spent on

safety because if it does go wrong, a nuclear accident

can be a major accident.

Conclusion

or Recomendation

People are increasingly concerned about this matter. In

the 1990's nuclear power was the fastest growing source

of power in many parts of the world.

Most people agree that the family planning programme is desirable for the good of family and society. But individuals and religious groups differ sharply on the methods of birth control that they consider moral and acceptable.

Couples that practice birth control do so for various reasons. They may want to limit or space their children, or to have no children at all. Young couples often postpone having children so that both partners can work full-time. Other couples space their children so they can give each as much attention as possible. Some women are advised by their doctor to avoid pregnancy for health reasons. In many countries with rapidly growing populations, the government encourages couples to limit the number of their families.

Even thought birth control has gained in acceptance, opposition to the practice iscontinuous. Some people fear that birth control encourages sexual outside marriage or that government might impose birth control. Some religious groups oppose birth control on moral grounds.

Male chauvinism (men's believe in male superiority) extends even into the area of automobile driving, it seems. They believe that they are far better drivers than women. Men consider women drivers incompetent, inattentive and even dangerous behind the wheel.

(25)

Modul Guru Pembelajar Bahasa Inggris Kelompok Kompetensi Profesional G 15 Another proof is that more accidents are caused by male drivers between the ages of 18 and 25 than by any other groups. Also the greater percentage of accident involving death is caused by men. Although women are criticized for being too cautious, they are really just being safe drivers.

The reason for women driver's safer habits can perhaps be found in the differing attitudes of sexes toward automobiles as a convenience, like a washing machine.

On the other hand, men regard the automobile as an extension of their egos. Using it as a weapon when they feel particularly aggressive or using it as a status symbol.

In all, women are safer drivers because of their attitude. Men can learn to become safe drivers if they adopt the attitude that an automobile is merely a convenience.

This includes public acts such as spouses kissing and people sunbathing in bikini or swimwear. As a consequence, the bill causes controversy.

be the choice in fulfilling the needed energy.

Supporting Point: In the second paragraph, it is presented the advantages of

nuclear power plant to be used as the source of the world‟s energy needed

Contrastive Point: The third paragraph shows the balance. It gives the

contradictory idea in using nuclear power plant as the resource of energy.

Recommendation: This text is ended with a similar recommendation on how

people should concern in the matter of nuclear energy.

Third example:

You have to consider a number of factors when deciding whether or not to get a job. The important thing is to arm yourself with as much information as possible, so you can figure out what choice makes the most sense for you.

If you are considering working part-time, schedule a meeting with your school counselor to discuss this move. Talk to your counselor about why you want to

work and what type of position you‟re seeking. Simply explaining your goals to

someone else can help you make decisions and figure out your priorities.

Schoolwork, including homework and studying for tests, should always be your

top priority. “The activities and courses students choose vary considerably, so it‟s important for young people to keep their individual situations clearly in mind,”

says Brad McGowan, director of the Career Centre at Newton North High School in Massachusetts. Further, McGowan cautions students who do decide to work:

“If you are rushing through your assignment or not studying enough for tests because of work, it‟s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job.”

He adds, “Students should always let their employers know what their time limits

are.” If you are being pressured to work more hours than you can handle, you need to find a new place to work. You also need to make sure that a job won‟t

prevent you from getting enough rest.

The government has decided to submit the draft of the bill against pornography and pornographic acts. The bill states that anyone engaging in pornography is punishable by law. This includes public acts such as spouses, kissing, and people sunbathing in bikini or swimwear. As a consequence, the bill causes controversy.

have so far been the object of exploitation in mass media and this only gives more benefits to the owner of the business.

freedom. They believe the bill will dictate what women should wear and on how to dress and behave. If they fail following the rule they will get penalties between Rp50 million and Rp1 billion.

Many young people have difficulty deciding where they will live when the time comes to leave home and make their own way in the world. Among the more common alternatives are sharing a house or flat with other young people, and finding full board and lodgings in someone else's home.

Renting a house with other young people offers the advantage of a high degree of freedom and independence. On the down side, renting involves a variety of responsibilities that may be more than you wish to take on. This would mean you would be responsible for making large rental payments if one or more of the people you are sharing with should move out of the house or flat. It might also mean that you are held financially responsible if they damage the dwelling.

Finding board and lodgings, on the other hand, has significant advantages. Generally you have no responsibility for the cleaning or maintenance of the dwelling or its gardens, other than to take reasonable care of your room. However, living in board and lodging circumstances has its drawbacks too. You have less freedom and flexibility in your lifestyle.

THE ISSUE OF POLYGAMY

Polygamy has still become an actual topic to discuss. People reacts this issue in different opinions.

Today in the 21st Century polygamy persists and is legally permitted in Muslim majority Indonesia. The 1974 Marriage Act in Article 3 states that a husband may have up to four wives on condition that the wife consents.

Further Article 5 cites three instances where a husband may practise polygamy: the wife is unable to execute the obligation of a wife; the wife has acquired a bodily handicap or incurable disease; the wife is unable to bear children.

Woman‟s rights advocates reject this provision of the law as it works against

women. They perceive the conditions that allow a husband to practise polygamy

are from perspective of the husband‟s interests.

Islam allows a man to have up to four wives in the context of caring for orphans, and it emphasizes that the women must be treated equally. If the man is unable to do this, the man may only have one wife. The Koran does not issue a recommendation or a command to commit polygamy.

Thus the principle marriage in Islam is monogamy, not polygamy. Because of this polygamy should be banned.

18. From the text we infer that …

a. Polygamy can be accepted by all people. b. Polygamy is the women‟s rights.

c. All religions let men do polygamy.

d. Men are let perform polygamy by strict requirements. e. Indonesian laws ban polygamy.

19. What makes most women disagree with Polygamy? a. the husband‟s unequal treatment

(44)

(48)

C. Uraian Materi

Anda mendiskusikan keterangan bagaimana menentukan hal hal dibawah ini:

MAIN IDEA, MAIN TOPIC, AND MAIN PURPOSE QUESTIONS

The first point we are going to see is an overview question about the main idea, main topic, or main purpose of a passage. Main idea questions ask you to identify the most important thought in the passage.

Sample Questions:

1. What is the main idea of the passage? 2. The primary idea of the passage is ….

3. Which of the following best summarizes the author‟s idea?

When there is not a single, readily identified main idea, main topic questions may be asked. These ask you what the passage is generally

“about”.

Sample questions:

1. The main topic of the passage is …. 2. What does the passage mainly discuss? 3. The passage is primarily concerned with….

Main purpose questions ask why an author wrote a passage. The answer

choices for these questions usually begin with infinitives. Sample questions:

1. The author‟s purpose in writing is ….

2. What is the author‟s main purpose in the passage? 3. The main point of this passage is ….

4. Why did the author write the passage?

(49)

Modul Guru Pembelajar Bahasa Inggris Kelompok Kompetensi Profesional G 39 Distractors for this type of question have one of these characteristics: 1. They are too specific.

2. They are too general.

3. They are incorrect according to the passage.

4. They are irrelevant (unrelated) to the main idea of the passage.

If you are not sure of the answer for one of the questions, go back and quickly scan the passage. You can usually infer the main idea, main topic, or main purpose of the entire passage from an understanding of the main ideas of the paragraphs that make up the passage and the relationship between them.

FACTUAL /TEXT-BASED QUESTIONS

Factual questions ask about explicit facts and details given in the passage.

They often contain one of the wh-question words: who, what, when, where, why, how much, and so on.

Factual questions often begin with the phrases” According to the passage, …”

or “According to the author….” When you see these phrases, you know that

the information needed to answer the question is directly stated somewhere in the passage (unlike answers for inference questions).

To answer factual questions, you have to locate and identify the information that the question asks about. If you are not sure from your first reading where to look for specific answers use the following scanning techniques:

1. Focus on one or two key words as you read the stem of each question. Look these words in your mind.

2. Scan the passage looking for the key words or their synonyms. Look only for these words. Do NOT try to read every word of the passage.

3. It may help to use the eraser end of your pencil as a pointer to focus your

attention. Don‟t reread the passage completely_just look for these words.

4. When you find the key words in the passage, carefully read the sentence in which they occur. You may have to read the sentence preceding or following that sentence as well.

(50)

The order or detail questions about a passage almost always follows the order in which ideas are presented in the passage. In other words, the information you need to answer the first detail question will usually come near the beginning of the passage; the information for the second will follow that, and so on. Knowing this should help you locate the information you need.

INFERENCE QUESTIONS

The answers to these questions are not directly provided in the passage

you must “read between the lines”. In other words, you must make

conclusions based indirectly on information in the passage.

Inference questions may be phrased in a number of ways. Many of these questions contain some form of the words infer or imply.

Sample questions:

1. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? 2. It can be inferred from the passage that…

3. The author implies that….

4. Which of the following does the passage imply?

5. Which of the following would be the most reasonable guess about….? 6. The author suggests that…

7. It is probable that…

REFERENCE QUESTIONS

Reference questions ask what noun (called the referent) a pronoun or some

other expression refers to. The correct answer is NOT always the noun that is closest to the pronoun in the passage. Incorrect choices are usually other nouns that appear in the passage. If you are unable to decide immediately which answer is correct, substitute the choices for the word that is being asked about. Which one is the most logical substitute?

In general, reference questions tend to be the easiest type of reading question.

Sample questions:

1. The word “them” in line 4 refers to….

(51)

Modul Guru Pembelajar Bahasa Inggris Kelompok Kompetensi Profesional G 41 3. The phrase “another type” in line 7 is a reference to another type of…. 4. The word “this” in line 9 refers to….

5. What does the word “its” in line 11 refer to?

1. mengamati; 2. menanya;

3. mengumpulkan informasi/mencoba; 4. menalar/mengasosiasi; dan

(53)

Modul Guru Pembelajar Bahasa Inggris Kelompok Kompetensi Profesional G 43 b. Bisa menggabungkan dengan Model Discovery Learning dengan

langkah langkah sebagai berikut:

 Stimulation (stimulasi/pemberian rangsangan)

Pertama-tama pada tahap ini pelajar dihadapkan pada sesuatu yang menimbulkan kebingungannya, kemudian dilanjutkan untuk tidak memberi generalisasi, agar timbul keinginan untuk

menyelidiki sendiri. Disamping itu guru dapat memulai kegiatan PBM dengan mengajukan pertanyaan, anjuran membaca buku, dan aktivitas belajar lainnya yang mengarah pada persiapan pemecahan masalah. Stimulasi pada tahap ini berfungsi untuk menyediakan kondisi interaksi belajar yang dapat

mengembangkan dan membantu siswa dalam mengeksplorasi bahan.

 Problem statement (pernyataan/ identifikasi masalah) Setelah dilakukan stimulasi langkah selanjutya adalah guru memberi kesempatan kepada siswa untuk mengidentifikasi sebanyak mungkin agenda-agenda masalah yang relevan dengan bahan pelajaran, kemudian salah satunya dipilih dan dirumuskan dalam bentuk hipotesis (jawaban sementara atas pertanyaan masalah)

 Data collection (Pengumpulan Data)

Ketika eksplorasi berlangsung guru juga memberi kesempatan kepada para siswa untuk mengumpulkan informasi sebanyak-banyaknya yang relevan untuk membuktikan benar atau tidaknya hipotesis. Pada tahap ini berfungsi untuk menjawab pertanyaan atau membuktikan benar tidaknya hipotesis, dengan demikian anak didik diberi kesempatan untuk mengumpulkan (collection) berbagai informasi yang relevan, membaca literatur, mengamati objek, wawancara dengan nara sumber, melakukan uji coba sendiri dan sebagainya.

 Data Processing (Pengolahan Data)

(54)

wawancara, observasi, dan sebagainya, lalu ditafsirkan. Semua informai hasil bacaan, wawancara, observasi, dan sebagainya, semuanya diolah, diacak, diklasifikasikan, ditabulasi, bahkan bila perlu dihitung dengan cara tertentu serta ditafsirkan pada tingkat kepercayaan tertentu

 Verification (Pembuktian)

Pada tahap ini siswa melakukan pemeriksaan secara cermat untuk membuktikan benar atau tidaknya hipotesis yang

ditetapkan tadi dengan temuan alternatif, dihubungkan dengan hasil data processing. Verification menurut Bruner, bertujuan agar proses belajar akan berjalan dengan baik dan kreatif jika guru memberikan kesempatan kepada siswa untuk menemukan suatu konsep, teori, aturan atau pemahaman melalui contoh-contoh yang ia jumpai dalam kehidupannya.

 Generalization (menarik kesimpulan/generalisasi)

Tahap generalisasi/ menarik kesimpulan adalah proses menarik sebuah kesimpulan yang dapat dijadikan prinsip umum dan berlaku untuk semua kejadian atau masalah yang sama, dengan memperhatikan hasil verifikasi. Berdasarkan hasil verifikasi maka dirumuskan prinsip-prinsip yang mendasari generalisasi

c. Bisa juga digabung dengan Model Problem based learning dengan langkah langkah sebagai berikut:

 Orientasi Peserta didik kepada Masalah /Konsep Dasar (Basic Concept)

Fasilitator memberikan konsep dasar, petunjuk, referensi, atau

link dan skill yang diperlukan dalam pembelajaran tersebut. Hal ini dimaksudkan agar peserta didik lebih cepat masuk dalam

atmosfer pembelajaran dan mendapatkan „peta‟ yang akurat

tentang arah dan tujuan pembelajaran

(55)

Modul Guru Pembelajar Bahasa Inggris Kelompok Kompetensi Profesional G 45 Dalam langkah ini fasilitator menyampaikan skenario atau permasalahan dan peserta didik melakukan berbagai kegiatan

brainstorming dan semua anggota kelompok mengungkapkan pendapat, ide, dan tanggapan terhadap skenario secara bebas, sehingga dimungkinkan muncul berbagai macam alternatif pendapat

 Membimbing Penyelidikan Individu dan Kelompok Pembelajaran Mandiri (Self Learning)

Peserta didik mencari berbagai sumber yang dapat memperjelas isu yang sedang diinvestigasi. Sumber yang dimaksud dapat dalam bentuk artikel tertulis yang tersimpan di perpustakaan, halaman web, atau bahkan pakar dalam bidang yang relevan. Tahap investigasi memiliki dua tujuan utama, yaitu: (1) agar peserta didik mencari informasi dan mengembangkan pemahaman yang relevan dengan permasalahan yang telah didiskusikan di kelas, dan (2) informasi dikumpulkan dengan satu tujuan yaitu dipresentasikan di kelas dan informasi tersebut haruslah relevan dan dapat dipahami.

 Mengembangkan dan Menyajikan hasil Karya / Pertukaran Pengetahuan (Exchange Knowledge)

Setelah mendapatkan sumber untuk keperluan pendalaman materi dalam langkah pembelajaran mandiri, selanjutnya pada pertemuan berikutnya peserta didik berdiskusi dalam

kelompoknya untuk mengklarifikasi capaiannya dan merumuskan solusi dari permasalahan kelompok. Pertukaran pengetahuan ini dapat dilakukan dengan cara peserrta didik berkumpul sesuai kelompok dan fasilitatornya.

(56)

46 Modul Guru Pembelajar Bahasa Inggris Kelompok Kompetensi Profesional G d. Kemungkinan lain digabung dengan Project Based Learning/

Pembelajaran Berbasis Proyek dengan langkah-langkah sebagai berikut:

 Penentuan Pertanyaan Mendasar

Anda menyiapkan penugasan proyek pembelajaran dengan memformulasikan pertanyaan pertanyaan

 Mendesain Perencanaan Proyek

Proyek pengembangan dapat anda sepakati dengan peserta didik tentang format dan kedalaman serta poin-poin yang akan dinilai

 Menyusun Jadwal

Dalam diskusi kelompok peserta didik anda bimbing bagaimana menyelesaikan tugas hingga selesai. Sementara peserta didik mendiskusikan strategi pelaksanaan proyek misal:

Siapa melakukan apa

Tanggal-tanggal proses melaksanakan penyelesaian proyek Peserta didik dari masing-masing kelompok bisa berbagi dan menjelaskan mengapa memilih strategi penyelesaian kegiatan tersebut

 Memonitor Peserta didik dan Kemajuan Proyek

Anda memonitor aktivitas peserta didik selama menyelesaikan proyek dengan menanyakan kemajuan penyelesaian proyek dan hambatan yang dihadapi. Anda dapat melakukannya di kelas pada pertemuan-pertemuan dalam rentang tanggal penyelesaian proyek tersebut. Anda bisa membuka helpdesk secara on-line (media sosial. E-mail atau messanger ) bila memang ada fasilitas tersebut

 Menguji Hasil

Setelah menyelesaikan penegrjaan proyek, peserta didik dalam kelompok menyajikan hasil didepan kelas dan menempel

hasilnya di mading kelas atau sekolah atau dofoto dan diup-load dihalaman media sosial untuk mendapatkan

(57)

Modul Guru Pembelajar Bahasa Inggris Kelompok Kompetensi Profesional G 47 semenarik mungkin sehingga peserta didik merasa senang menyelesaikan proyek ini

 Mengevaluasi Pengalaman

Bimbing peserta didik merefleksikan proses penyelesaian tugas untuk mendapatkan masukan yang konstruktif. Refleksi ini dapat didokumentasi dalam jurnal belajar

E. Latihan/Kasus/Tugas.

Latihan 1

Reading: Read the following text.

You see, divorce changes childhood- but not necessarily for the worse. Why? Because many children from broken homes go on establish loving relationships with both their parents.

It is difficult for children to be party to any ongoing dispute between parents.

One child spoke of the “Bermuda Triangle” – the mythical space between the homes of her parents into which socks and schoolbooks, games kit and pencil sharpeners, always seemed to disappear. Another child complained bitterly that one mother refused to let her on the weekends she spent with her dad. They hated being told secrets and carrying messages to and fro between their parents. Worrying about how the kids will be affected by divorce often leads parents into crooked thinking.

What matters is overcoming and dealing with those difficulties. In life we are always going to face difficulties and that we should never have problems is not a good way at looking at childhood.

Rather than wringing their hands about the harmful effects of splitting up, parents can be positive and look at strategies for dealing with problems that might arise. As a proof, a lot of parents that we interviewed stayed together longer than they should have done though they were so

(58)

worried about the effect of divorce on their time thinking that any kind of adolescent rebellion was because of the divorce

Do you know what we are saying? Well, young people can strive under these

circumstances. And that it‟s the quality of the relationships that matter.

Divorce might be a whole lot better than a really grim family situation. And children can often be extraordinarily happy and contented after their parents divorce.
