Talking about Plans and Predictions

Asking About Plans	Hiding Plans
What is your plan? What are you going to do ...? What do you intend to do ...? What are you planning to do ...?	I’ve got a particular plan. I can’t tell you now. You’ll see (later). Let’s wait and see.
Stating Plans	Predicting
My plan is .... I’m going to .... I intend to .... I’m planning to ....	Do you think ... will ...? ...will ..., I expect. You will .... It’s going to ....

Note:

The Difference between "WILL" and "BE GOING TO".

• “Will” is often used to express an unplanned and spontaneous decision.
• “Will” is usually used to indicate a future event or action with little certainty.
• “Be going to” is used to express something that is planned in the future.
• “Be going to” is also used to express something that is going to happen in the near future, or it is almost certain to happen.

Dialogue: Discussing Plans

Two friends are talking about their plans for the weekend.

Lina: What are you going to do this weekend, Yeni?
Yeni: I’ve got a particular plan.
Lina: What is it?
Yeni: Sorry, I can’t tell you now. You’ll see.
Lina: C’mon. What are you planning to do this weekend?
Yeni: Let’s wait and see, I told you. What about you? What’s your plan?
Lina: I think I will watch ‘Rumah Angker’. You know, that horror film.
Yeni: Well, I would watch another movie if I were you.
Lina: Really? But I like horror movies. They’re thrilling.
Yeni: Thrilling? It’s just not worth-seeing.
Lina: Why do you say so?
Yeni: I just don’t see the point of drowning ourselves in the movies about mystics and superstition when we are supposed to be more logical in this era of internet and technology.
Lina: Hey, do you think all movies should be logical? Besides, horror movies are becoming more and more popular each day.
Yeni: That's it. When a movie becomes a hit, a dozen movies with the same genre will follow. Movie producers will keep stuffing viewers with similar movies because they think people like them.
Lina: When a movie becomes popular, it means people like it. What’s wrong with that?
Yeni: Well, film makers will follow the trend. They will tend to make similar movies, very often without paying attention to quality. It will be full of ‘a flash in the pan’.
Lina: What did you say? ‘Something’ in the pan?
Yeni: A flash in the pan, something which enjoys popularity for a short time.
Lina: That’s new for me. Now, you haven't told me about your plan. What do you intend to do this weekend?
Yeni: Make a guess.
Lina: You will go swimming, I expect. You like swimming, right?
Yeni: Not this weekend. Maybe next.
Lina: You will go out of town, I suppose.
Yeni: No. This weekend is my dad's birthday, and we’re planning to give him a surprise party.
Lina: A surprise party? It must be fun.
Yeni: Certainly. I am looking forward to it.

Answer these questions.

1. What is the topic of the conversation?
2. What is the most probable relationship between the speakers?
3. What is Lina's plan for the weekend? And what is Yeni's?
4. What does Yeni think about Lina's plan?
5. Rewrite the sentences that indicate the speakers' plan.
6. Rewrite the sentences that indicate the speakers' prediction or guess.

Untuk meningkatkan efisiensi kalimat dan keindahan gaya bahasa, kita bisa menyingkat atau memperpendek adverb clause menjadi modifying phrase dengan menggunakan past participle (verb 3) atau present participle (verb -ing).

Bagaimana cara menyingkat Adverb clause menjadi Modifying phrase?

Untuk menyingkat adverb clause menjadi modifying phrase dengan menggunakan participle, perhatikan beberapa catatan di bawah ini:

• Subyek dalam adverb clause (anak kalimat keterangan) harus sama dengan subyek dalam main clause (kalimat induk). Jika subyek dalam adverb clause tidak sama dengan subyek dalam main clause (kalimat induk), maka adverb clause tidak dapat diubah menjadi modifying phrase. (Lihat contoh-contoh kalimat di bawah untuk lebih jelasnya.)
• Jika adverb clause berbentuk kalimat aktif (active voice), maka modifying phrase harus menggunakan present participle (verb -ing). Contoh:
  1. Because she felt upset, she didn't say a single word. (adverb clause)
     Feeling upset, she didn't say a single word. (modifying phrase)
  2. He locked the door before he left. (adverb clause)
     He locked the door before leaving. (modifying phrase)
• Jika adverb clause berbentuk kalimat pasif (passive voice), maka modifying phrase harus menggunakan past participle (verb 3). Contoh:
  1. Because he was trained by a professional coach, he soon learnt much about difficult techniques. (adverb clause)
     Trained by a professional coach, he soon learnt much about difficult techniques. (modifying phrase)
  2. When the door is opened, it squeaks. (adverb clause)
     When opened, the door squeaks. (modifying phrase)

Apa saja fungsi modifying phrase?

1. Menyingkat time clause (klausa keterangan waktu). Time clause biasanya ditandai dengan adanya kata after, before, while, when, as, since. Di sini, modifying phrase memiliki makna “during the same time; while”. Contoh:
   • Since she moved to this country, she has made many friends.
     Since moving to this country, she has made many friends.
   • Before you do the test, read the instructions carefully.
     Before doing the test, read the instructions carefully.
   • While he was watching a film last night, he fell asleep.
     While watching a film last night, he fell asleep.
2. Menyingkat adverb clause “cause and effect” (sebab akibat), umumnya ditandai dengan "because, since, as". Di sini, modifying phrase memiliki makna adanya “cause and effect relationship; because”. Contoh:
   • Because she needed money to support her children, she had to work.
     Needing money to support her children, she had to work.
   • Because I have seen the movie before, I don’t want to go again.
     Having seen the movie before, I don’t want to go again.
   • Because I had seen the movie before, I didn’t want to go again.
     Having seen the movie before, I didn’t want to go again.
   • Because Anne could not see clearly from the back row, she moved to the front row.
     Not (being) able to see clearly from the back row, Anne moved to the front row.

A. Garis bawahi semua modifying phrase dan pilihlah makna yang sesuai ("while" atau "because") seperti pada contoh nomer 1.

1. Sitting on the white sand, she enjoyed the amazing beauty of the sunset at the beach. (while/because)
2. Unable to afford a car, she bought a motorcycle. (while/because)
3. While living here, she made many friends. (while/because)
4. Not wanting to disappoint her, he decided to say nothing about it. (while/because)
5. Standing in front of the house, I realized how much it had changed. (while/because)
6. Pointing to the sentence on the board, the teacher explained the meaning of modifying phrases. (while/because)

B. Ubahlah adverb clause dalam kalimat-kalimat berikut menjadi modifying phrase.

1. Before I came to class, I had a cup of tea.
2. After she had completed her work, she submitted it to the teacher.
3. Because he didn’t want to wake everybody up, he tried not to make much noise.
4. Because he had run a red traffic light, he got a ticket and had to pay a fine.
5. After I had read the explanation twice, I finally understood the theory.
6. While I was reading the paper this morning, I saw an article on global warming.
7. Because they were unable to send their children to school, they let them work at an early age.
8. Before he became a teacher, he worked for a garment manufacturer and exporter in Surabaya.
9. While I was sitting at the quiet beach, I felt united with the nature.
10. Because she had never seen an active volcano before, she never stopped admiring the beauty of Bromo.

C. Gabunglah kedua kalimat di setiap nomer dengan menjadikan kalimat pertama sebagai modifying phrase.

1. I did not want to be late again. I left very early this morning.
2. She thought she would never learn to play the piano. She stopped taking lessons.
3. The student checked his answers. He found he had made many mistakes.
4. I wanted to finish the work in time. I had to work late last night.
5. They were exhausted. They stopped to rest under a very shady tree.
6. She had just recovered from her illness. She had to stay home during the weekend.
7. The child played computer games too much. He got an eye irritation.
8. Many housewives develop the habit of watching TV in the morning. They become less productive.
9. The students did not understand the lesson. They asked the teacher to repeat the explanation.
10. He wants to save some money every month. He has decided to cook his own meals.
11. She could not tolerate the noise. She tapped her fingers loudly on the table.
12. I was bored. I went out for a walk to the park last night.
13. The snake felt threatened. It started hissing and spitting at the cat.
14. The building was being renovated. It was closed for visitors.
15. The little boy felt the unbearable pain. He never stopped crying.

An English Conversation

In his office, Jim is talking to Betty, his wife, on the telephone.

JIM:	And what are you doing now, Betty?
BETTY:	I'm having a rest.
JIM:	Hm, you're lucky. You're having a rest, while I'm sitting here in the office, working hard.
BETTY:	Working hard! You're talking to me on the phone - that isn't work! Now, I've been very busy - I've cleaned the house, and I've done a lot of shopping. I've sewn some buttons on your shirts -
JIM:	Wonderful!
BETTY:	- and I've made cake, and I've prepared some food. Now I'm tired, and so I'm having a rest.
JIM:	That's good.
BETTY:	Oh, Yati rang me this morning.
JIM:	Ah, how is she?
BETTY:	She's well. I've asked her to come and have dinner with us this evening.
JIM:	Oh, Betty, you've forgotten! We've promised to go and have dinner with Tom and Nancy Foster this evening.
BETTY:	This evening?
JIM:	Yes. Don't you remember? We arranged it last Sunday.
BETTY:	Oh, yes, that's right. Oh dear, what can we do?
JIM:	Never mind, darling. You must ring Yati, and explain to her. Perhaps she can come to dinner tomorrow evening.
BETTY:	Yes, I'll ring her. And Jim what -
JIM:	(someone interrupted him) Just a minute, please, Betty ... Oh, Betty, the mail has arrived, and I have to do some work on it now.
BETTY:	All right, darling. Goodbye now.
JIM:	Goodbye.
BETTY:	(A few moments later, Jim calls Betty again) Hello?
JIM:	Hello, Betty. Tom Foster has rung me to say that Nancy is sick, and they're very sorry, but they can't have us for dinner tonight.
BETTY:	Oh, poor Nancy. What's the matter with her?
JIM:	She's caught a very bad cold, and she has to stay in bed for a few days ... But listen, Betty, now we can invite Yati to dinner this evening after all.
BETTY:	Oh, but, Jim, I've rung Yati, and I've explained to her that we have to go out this evening, and now she's made some other arrangements for this evening.
JIM:	Oh dear!
BETTY:	But she's promised to come to dinner tomorrow evening.
JIM:	Good! So, this evening we can't go to the Foster's, and Yati can't come to us - so we'll have a cosy dinner, just by ourselves.

A. What is a Recount Text?

Recount texts retell a past event. They tell the reader what happened in the past, e.g. a visit to a place of interest. Therefore, recount texts are mostly written in the past tense.

B. What is the structure of Recount Texts?

1. Orientation:
   Recount texts start by telling the reader who was involved, what happened, where this event took place and when it happened. This is called the orientation.
2. Sequence of events:
   The sequence of events is usually described in the order of time (chronological order).
3. Reorientation:
   There can be a reorientation at the end which summarizes the event.

C. How to write a Recount Text?

When writing a recount text, pay attention to the checklist below:

• Focus on individual people i.e. use the words, I or we
• Use the words which indicate when the events took place (e.g. after ..., before ...).
• Use the words which indicate where the events took place (e.g. at the beach, on the grass)
• Write in the past tense e.g. went, visited, took.
• Use action words e.g. made, walked, bought.

D. Read an example of recount text below.

Title	A Day Out
Orientation	We were having dinner when Uncle Hadi arrived. During the meal, he said, “I have an idea. Let’s go out for the day tomorrow. My friends told me that Bromo is a nice place. Why don’t we go there? We could have a picnic.“
Sequence of events	We agreed that it was a good idea. So, after preparing a big basket full of food, we left the house at about half past eight. At first, we all enjoyed the drive. The scenery was really beautiful. But then it began to rain. My father had to be very careful on the slippery road, so it took us two hours to get there. After the long journey, we wanted to go for a walk, but we didn’t have any umbrellas with us. So we just sat at a gazebo near a restaurant and had our picnic.
Reorientation	It was still raining at three o’clock, so in the end we all decided to go home. Everybody was very disappointed, except Uncle Hadi. He kept smiling and telling jokes all day long.

Read the recount text below and do the exercise.

Last Saturday I woke up early, but I didn’t get up because there was no school. Suddenly, my telephone rang. It was my friend Fanny. She asked me to go with her at 10.00 o clock. She wanted to buy something in traditional market.

Finally, we were out. On the street, I saw a piece of pink coupon. Attracted by its color, I took it. Then, Fanny and I read it. We were fully shocked. It was a receipt of a four nights tour to Lombok! The expiry date was that day. To our surprise, the name was Fanny Fenita and the birth date was exactly the same as hers. It was also valid for two persons. My God! We were thinking that maybe the coupon had fallen from the sky and now it was there for us.

We hurried to the address of the tour agency that issued the coupon. The tour agency took care of everything. We went home and still could not believe what was going on.

Two days later we were lying on the warm sand under the sun at Senggigi Beach. We had long public holiday, so we could enjoy the “gift” happily. We also bought some presents for our family and friends.

Questions

1. What will be the best title for the above text?
2. Please identify the orientation in the text.
3. Please list the past tense verbs used in the text in chronological order.
4. Is there a reorientation in the text? Which sentence/paragraph?
5. How many persons were involved in the above text?
6. Where did the events take place? Mention at least two places.
7. When did the events happen?
8. What does the word "gift" in the last paragraph mean?

F. Writing Practice

Now, by referring to the above checklist, write your own recount text. You can talk about your experience:

• Going to the ....(Beach, Museum, etc.)
• Visiting ....(My Uncle, the Zoo, etc.)
• A Day at the ....(Farm, Lake, Beach, etc.)
• My Unforgettable Experience in ....(Bali, Malang, etc.)
• Going ....(Shopping, Swimming, for a Picnic, etc.)

Happy trying.
