I. Apakah "Direct Speech" dan "Indirect Speech / Reported Speech"?

alam bahasa Inggris, untuk menceritakan kembali atau mengutip perkataan dan pemikiran seseorang, kita bisa melakukannya dengan 2 (dua) cara, yaitu:

1. Menggunakan kalimat langsung (direct speech), yaitu dengan mengulang atau menggunakan kata-kata aslinya dengan menggunakan tanda kutip (‘....’ atau “....”) dalam penulisannya. Contoh:
   • He said, “I have seen the movie before”.
   • I thought, “he needs to improve his English."
   • “The mission,” he stated, "will be difficult to accomplish.”
   • “I think so,” replied Tom.
2. Menggunakan kalimat tak langsung (indirect speech / reported speech), yaitu menyampaikan isi makna atau gagasan secara tepat tanpa menggunakan atau mengutip kata-kata aslinya. Contoh:
   • He said that he had seen the movie before.
   • I thought that he needed to improve his English.
   • He stated that the mission would be difficult to accomplish.
   Catatan: Kata-kata seperti "yes", "no", "well", serta kata seru dan question-tags, tidak bisa digunakan pada kalimat tak langsung (indirect speech / reported speech). Contoh:

entuk kata kerja "Used to + Infinitive" dan "be used to + noun/gerund" dalam bahasa Inggris sangat sering disalah-artikan. Keduanya dianggap sama dengan kata kerja "use" yang berarti "memakai", "menggunakan", atau "memanfaatkan". Padahal ketiganya sangat berbeda, tidak saja dari segi bentuk, tapi juga yang terpenting makna dan penggunaannya. Untuk lebih jelasnya, mari kita pelajari di sini mulai dari bentuk hingga makna dan penggunaannya.

1. Bentuk "Used To" dan "Be Used To"

Used to + Infinitive (Verb 1)	Be/Get Used to + Noun/Pronoun/Gerund
Kalimat positif/afirmatif: She used to live in Tokyo.	Kalimat positif/afirmatif: She is used to living in a big city. She gets used to living in a big city.
Kalimat negatif: She did not (didn't) use to live in Tokyo. atau She used not (usedn't) to live in Tokyo.	Kalimat negatif: She is not (isn't) used to living in a big city. She does not (doesn't) get used to living in a big city.
Kalimat tanya/Interogatif: Did she use to live in Tokyo? Used she to live in Tokyo?	Kalimat tanya/Interogatif: Is she used to living in a big city? Does she get used to living in a big city?

2. Penggunaan "Used To" dan "Be Used To"

Used + to Infinitive (Verb 1)	Be/Get Used to + Noun/Pronoun/Gerund
"Used to" berfungsi sebagai verb (kata kerja), seperti modals, diikuti oleh Infinitive (verb 1)	"Be used to" berfungsi sebagai adjective (kata sifat), didahului oleh "be/get/become", lalu diikuti Noun/Pronoun/Gerund.
"Used to" adalah bentuk lampau, tidak memiliki bentuk "present" (sekarang).	"Be", "Get", atau "Become" bisa dalam tense (bentuk waktu) apapun, past, present, atau future.
"Used to" digunakan untuk membicarakan kebiasaan lampau atau situasi lampau yang sudah tidak dilakukan lagi sekarang, dan berbeda dengan kebiasaan atau kondisi sekarang. Contoh: She used to live in Tokyo; now she lives in Osaka. He used to dislike spicy food but he quite likes it now. "Used to" bisa memiliki kesamaan dengan "would", untuk membicarakan kebiasaan/situasi lampau, tanpa membandingkan dengan kebiasaan/kondisi sekarang. Contoh kalimat: When I was a little boy, I used to play traditional games with my friends. After school, we used to spend our afternoon playing kites near a rice field.	Sebagai kata sifat (adjective), used to bermakna 'terbiasa' atau 'accustomed'. Contoh kalimat: I am used to noise. I am used to working in a noisy room. You will soon get used to automatic transmission. You will soon get used to driving with automatic transmission. They soon got used to the traffic regulations. They soon got used to driving on the left.

Read the following text to answer questions number 16-18Ratu Boko is an archaeological site known to modern Javanese as Kraton Ratu Boko or Ratu Boko’s Palace. Ratu Boko is located on a plateau, about 3 kilometers south of Roro Jonggrang Prambanan Temple complex in Yogyakarta. The local inhabitants name this site after King Boko, the legendary king mentioned in Roro Jonggrang folklore. In Javanese, Ratu Boko means “Stork Queen”. In striking contrast to other classic-period sites in Central Java and Yogyakarta, which are ramains of temples, Ratu Boko displays attributes of an occupation or settlement site, although its precise function is unknown. Probably the site was a palace complex which belonged to the kings of Syailendra or Mataram Kingdom that also built temples scattered across the Prambanan temples. It is based on the fact that this complex is not a temple nor building with religious nature, but a fortified palace instead, which is evidence of a remnant of fortified walls and the dry moat of defensive structures. Ratu Boko stands 196 meters above sea level and covers an area of 250.000 square meters. It is divided into four parts, the central, the west, the southeast and the east. The central section of the compound consists of the main gates, a crematorium temple, a pool, a stone pedestal, and the paseban (an audience hall). The southeast part covers the pendopo (the attached open pavilion), a balai-balai (a public hall or building), 3 miniature temples, a pool and a walled compound popularly named by locals as kaputren (women’s quarter).

Read the following text to answer questions number 34-36A camera may work with the light of the visible spectrum or with other portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. A still camera is an optical device which creates a single image of an object or scene, and records it on an electronic sensor or photographic film. A shutter mechanism controls the length of time that light can enter the camera. Most photographic cameras have functions that allow a person to view the scene to be recorded, allow for a desired part of the scene to be in focus, and to control the exposure so that it is not too bright or too dim. A display, often a liquid crystal display (LCD), permits the user to view scene to be recorded and settings such as ISO speed, exposure, and shutter speed. A movie camera or a video camera operates similarly to a still camera, except it records a series of static images in rapid succession, commonly at a rate of 24 frames per second. When the images are combined and displayed in order, the illusion of motion is achieved.
