UPDATE YOUR ENGLISH IN MEANING
By: I NENGAH SUDIPA ENGLISH DEPARTMENT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES UDAYANA UNIVERSITY 2020 |

INTRODUCTION
It happens by
chance that I was assigned to go to
Malang on 5-7 March 2020 to give socialization and be a guest lecturer about
Semantics at Magister Program-Brawijaya
University. We flew by Garuda and as usual I took two Garuda Magazines
published in February and March 2020. I read the
former during my travelling to Malang and the
latter I enjoyed reading it on the way home. The magazines contains a lot
of information using the foreign language which shows the current development of the
English itself nowdays. It is good practice if I can share to our beloved
students who are studying at the English Department. This is my superb mission
to contribute to them in updating their insight related to some English phenomena happening
now.
II.
COVERAGE
Since the magazine
is published in terms of promotion, not only for Garuda itself but for
Indonesian archipelago as well, it is good for us to choose some promising and
crucial themes using appropriate ‘modern’ English. The coverage of this booklet
includes : (1) lexical choices, complex English phrases as well as the Clauses
(2) Present Participle and Past Participle Constructions which are the most important issues related to academic, scientific English.
III.
THE
FACT AND FINDINGS
The
magazine’s title is COLOURS with interesting cover and attracting contents
using modern and current English. From
this sentence examples, the readers can widen the insight about Indonesia,
global arts, cultures, tourism destinations as well as delicious cuisines. In
order to accomodate the idea for updating the readers’ English, the following
discussions are divided into several smaller parts:
3.1
To promote Tourism Destinations : Lombok, Melbourne, Palembang, and
Danau Toba
LOMBOK
Lombok is gaining a reputation as a must-visit paradise island.
But it may sound
simple, but I always look forward to eating
it, perhap because, unlike Lombok specialisties of Ayam Taliwang
‘a spicy grilled chicken’ or Plecing Kangkung
‘a spicy water spinach’, nasi puyung is difficult to find in other parts of
Indonesia.
There are more flights
welcoming more tourists, as a result, the car hire business is also flourishing.
Lombok is developing
into an increasingly attractive place to visit.
One new development
causing great excitement is the
construction of the MotoGP race circuit in Mandlika
DANAU TOBA
A few tourists could be seen at the sea’s edge,
playing in the water, while others preferred to lie relaxing, enjoying the
white sand and the
calm, blue sea.
The golden rays of
the morning sun shine
brightly, I see a huge blue lake stretching out before me.
As the dry wind begins to pick up once
again, I pull in at Inna
Prapat Hotel & Resort, located at the edge of Lake Toba
We ate a late supper and the cold highland air begins to penetrate
while the wave ripple in gentle rhythms
on the lake and sleep begins to summon.
MELBOURNE
Take the time to
explore Melbourne’s diverse ethnic neighbourhoods and your appetite will be very well rewarded.
Australian’s most walkable city is in the banks of Yarra
River.
Melbourne city is wired 7/24 as a busy place which never
sleeps.
Many of the exotic
ingredients with
which Australians have
become familiar were introduced at food markets, kinds of food from overseas are also displayed in every
foodstalls. They all Australian, even if they did arrive from somewhere else.
PALEMBANG
The Musi River region
is now designated as a water recreation area that combines cultural,
historic, and culinary tourism
Kemaro is a Palembang word meaning ‘dry’ or ‘arid’,
an apt description as the
island never flood, even when the river rises
Dozen of raft houses come into view as my boat approaches
the HULU District in Palembang
