Lutung Kasarung

Prabu Tapa Agung had led a kingdom in West Java for a long time. He was getting old and therefore wanted to choose a successor. But unfortunately, he had no son. He thought of choosing one of his daughters, Purbararang and Purbasari. But it wasn’t an easy choice. They were both very pretty and smart. The only difference was their temperament. Purbararang was rude and dishonest, while Purbasari was kind and caring. With those considerations, Prabu Tapa Agung finally chose Purbasari to be his successor.

Purbararang didn’t agree with her father’s decision. “It’s supposed to be me, Father. I’m the eldest daughter!” Purbararang said. Prabu Tapa Agung smiled. “Purbararang, to be a queen takes more than age. There are many other qualities that one must possess,” explained Prabu Tapa Agung wisely. “What does Purbasari have that I don’t?” Purbararang pouted. “You’ll find out when Purbasari has replaced me,” Prabu Tapa Agung answered.

After the discussion, Purbararang went back to her room. “Is there something wrong?” asked Indrajaya. Indrajaya is Purbararang’s future husband. “I’m upset! Father chose Purbasari as his successor and not me! I have to do something!” Purbararang said. Driven mad by her anger, she came to a witch and asked her to send rash all over Purbasari’s body. Before going to bed, Purbasari started to feel itch all over her body. She tried applying powder to her body, but it’s no use. Instead, the itching grew even worse. She didn’t want to scratch it, but she just couldn’t help it. In the next morning, there were scratch mark all over Purbasari’s body. “What happened to you?” asked Purbararang, pretending to be concerned. “I don’t know, sis. Last night, my body suddenly felt very itchy. I scratched and scratched, and this is what happened,” Purbasari answered. Purbararang shook her head. “You must have done something really awful. You’ve been punished by the gods!”

That day, the whole kingdom was scandalized. “What have you done, Purbasari?” demanded Prabu Tapa Agung. Purbasari shook her head. “I didn’t do anything that would upset the gods, Father,” she answered. “Then how can you explain what happened to your body?” Prabu Tapa Agung asked again. “If you don’t confess, I’ll banish you to the woods.” Purbasari took a deep breath. “Like I said before, I didn’t do anything wrong. And I’d rather be thrown into the woods than to confess to a deed I didn’t commit.”

After a short discussion with his advisor, Prabu Tapa Agung ordered Purbasari to be moved to the woods. Purbasari was very sad, but she couldn’t do anything to defy her father’s order. She was accompanied to the woods by a messenger. He built a simple hut for Purbasari. After the messenger left, suddenly a black monkey came to Purbasari’s hut. He carried a bunch of bananas. From behind him, some animals looked on. “Are the bananas for me?’ Purbasari asked. The black monkey nodded, as if he understood what Purbasari said. Purbasari took the bananas with pleasure. She also said thanks. The other animals that were looking on also seemed to smile. “Are you willing to be my friend?” Purbasari asked them. All the animals nodded happily. Although she was living by herself in the woods, Purbasari never lacked of supplies. Everyday, there were always animals bringing her fruits and fish to eat.

A long time had passed since Purbasari was banished to the woods, but her body still itched. At some places, her skin was even ulcerating. What am I supposed to do?” Purbasari sighed. The monkey who was sitting next to her stayed still, there were tears in his eyes. He hoped Purbasari would remain patient and strong.

One night, on a full moon, the monkey took Purbasari to a valley. There is a pond with hot spring water. The monkey suddenly spoke, “The water of this pond will heal your skin,” he said. Purbasari was surprised, ”You can talk? Who are you?” she asked. “You’ll find out, in time,” the monkey said. Purbasari didn’t want to force the monkey. She then walked to the pond. She bathed there. After a few hours, Purbasari walked out of the pond. She was shocked to see her face reflected on the clear pond water. Her face was beautiful again, with smooth and clean skin. Purbasari observed her entire body. There were no traces of any skin ailments. “I’m cured! I’m cured!” Purbasari shouted in joy. She quickly offered thanks to the gods and also to the monkey.

The news of Purbasari’s condition quickly spread to the kingdom, irritating Purbararang. She then accompanied by Indrajaya go to the woods to see Purbasari. Purbasari asked if she would be allowed to go home. Purbararang said she would let Purbasari return to the palace if Purbasari’s hair were longer than hers. Purbararang then let her hair down. It was so long, it almost touched the ground. But it turned out that Purbasari’s hair was twice longer than Purbararang’s hair.

“Fine, so your hair is longer than mine.” Purbararang admitted. “But there is one more condition you must fulfill, do you have a future husband who is handsomer than mine?” said Purbararang as she walked toward Indrajaya. Purbasari felt miserable. She didn’t have a future husband yet. So, without much thought, she pulled the black monkey beside her.

Purbararang and Indrajaya burst out, but their laughter didn’t last long. The monkey meditates and suddenly transformed into a very handsome young man, a lot more handsome than Indrajaya. “I’m a prince from a kingdom far away. I was cursed to be a monkey because of a mistake I committed. I could regain my true form only if there’s a girl who would be willing to be my wife,” said the young man.

Finally, Purbararang gave up. She accepted Purbasari as the queen, and also confessed everything she had done. “Please forgive me. Please don’t punish me,” Purbararang said, asking for forgiveness. Instead of being angry, Purbasari smiled. “I forgive you, sis,” she said. Soon after, Purbasari become queen. Beside her was the handsome prince, the former monkey known as Lutung Kasarung.

Passive Voice

Kalimat aktif merupakan kalimat yang subjek kalimatnya adalah pelaku sebuah tindakan, sedangkan kalimat pasif adalah kalimat yang subjeknya bukan pelaku suatu tindakan. Si subjek adalah si penerima akibat dari sebuah tindakan.

Bandingkan kalimat-kalimat berikut:

Aktif : Susi mengetik surat ini kemarin

Pasif : Surat ini diketik oleh Susi kemarin

Aktif : Kucingku membunuh seekor tikus

Pasif : Seekor tikus dibunuh oleh kucingku

Catatan:

1. Gunakan bentuk pasif jika pelaku tindakan tidak begitu penting.

Contoh:

1. • Menara ini dibangun tahun 1955

1. Kalau kita perlu menyebut siapa pelaku suatu tindakan, gunakan kata oleh (by)

Contoh:

1. • Menara ini telah dibangun oleh Pemerintah Daerah pada tahun 1955

3. Perfect : been (di depan have, has, atau had)
4. Future : be (setelah modals)
5. Continuous : being (di depan salah satu dari 7 to be di atas)

Hal-hal yang perlu diketahui dan diingat

Conditional Sentence

 Conditional sentence
referred to as sentence modality, because of the meaning contained in the sentence is contrary to the true meaning. In English there are three types of conditional sentences, which each have their own usefulness. In a sentence modality, there are two clause, namely:

2. expectations of the clause, which in this case as the “main clause”

Masalah Ekonomi Bangunan

Faktor Penyebab Pengangguran di Indonesia

Mendapat predikat lulusan terbaik dari suatu universitas bukan menjadi jaminan untuk bisa langsung bekerja. Indeks prestasi (IP) tinggi di atas 3,5 pun bukan jaminan bagi para sarjana segera mendapatkan pekerjaan. Mereka harus keluar masuk kantor mengantarkan lamaran dengan harapan ada lowongan pekerjaan untuk mereka. Malah, dengan alasan mencari pengalaman dulu, para sarjana itu rela bekerja apa saja meski bergaji kecil dan tidak sesuai dengan ilmu yang dipelajari. Dan yang jelas, mereka tidak ingin mendapat gelar baru, yakni ”sarjana pengangguran.” itulah sepatah laporan yang dipaparkan oleh sinar harapan.

sebenarnya apasih penyebab yang menimbulkan seseorang yang punya intelegensi tinggi juga tidak punya kesempatan untuk bekerja??? ada beberapa faktor yang menyebabkan seseorang tidak mendapat pekerjaan.

1. Kurangnya informasi
2. Tidak adanya sistem penerimaan publik
3. Sulit menerapkan kepintarannya dalam dunia pekerjaan
4. Malas
5. Cacat atau Umur
6. Rendahnya Pendidikan dan Keterampilan yang Dimiliki

Hal inilah yang paling besar pengaruhnya dalam dunia kerja sekarang ini, kurangnya informasi dapat menjadi faktor yang paling berpengaruh, hal ini diakibatkan keadaan lingkungan tempat tinggal yang tidak memungkinkan untuk terus meng update informasi tentang lowongan pekerjaan.

Selain itu faktor penerimaan yang bisa disebut "diam-diam" juga sangat berpengaruh, dimana sekarang banyak perusahaan yang mengutamakan standar Univesiti daripada standar keahlian masing-masing pelamar kerja.

Ada juga pengaruh sulitnya membedakan antara kuliah dengan kerja, ini disebakan pengalaman seorang tenaga kerja yang masih belum terasah, maka diperlukan sistem perkuliahan yang bisa mendukung keahlian seseorang dan dapat langsung diterapkan didunia kerja, tapi lagi-lagi pengaruh nama universitas besar tetap tidak dapat di kesampingkan.
