            Hai gue Fathiyyah Nurjanah gue pelajar dari sebuah sekolah kejuruan swasta di daerah tambun-bekasi. Gue kelas 2 jurusan akuntansi. Lo tau kan siswa SMK kelas 2 itu harus ikut yg namanya program PKL alias praktek kerja lapangan. Yap! Awal gue ngedenger kata P.K.L gue takut dan ada senengnya juga.

            Gue PKL bulan januari dan itu menurut gue telat banget soalnya temen2 gue udah pada PKL dari bulan desember. Pada saat gue belum PKL gue galau ga ketulungan, hati gue rasanya ga tenang brew, nyiksa batin gue *agak lebay. Awal gue nyoba PKL itu di PT Sinar Sosro, tapi ga ada kabar sama sekali men, dan itu bikin gue galau minta ampun -_- Saat itu gue bingung mau PKL dimana, nah pas gue nanya ke temen gue yg udah kelar PKL di PT Aisin Indonesia, dia nawarin gue buat PKL disitu. Hmm kebetulan bgt kan, akhirnya gue minta bikinin surat permohonan buat ke itu PT. Gue Cuma berdua aja sama Dewi.

            Gak lama kemudian gue dipanggil untuk dikasih arahan sama orang2 HRD disana. Dan hari selasa tepatnya tgl 8 januari gue mulai ditraining. Masa2 training itu bikin gue ngantuk minta ampun, padahal itu Cuma formalitas aja buat anak2 PKL. Waktu training gue punya temen baru namanya Lisa, Ade Ratna dan Erna. Setelah gue ngejalanin training selama seminggu, akhirnya gue kerja juga. Gue ditempatin dibagian office namanya MSU atau manufacturing support tapi gue adminnya, hebat kan gue :D

            Awalnya gue kenal sama satu cewe yg namanya Ida, dia kerja di bagian MIS sebelahan tuh sama dept gue. Gue kemana2 selalu sama dia, gue cerita sama dia, jajan sama dia, makan siang sama dia, tapi ke kamar mandi ga mungkin bareng2 :D. Gak lama kemudian gue kenal sama temen2 Ida, lumayan banyak sih yaa jadi gue ga bisa nyebutin satu per satu.

            Selama gue PKL gue deket bgt sama temen gue yg namanya Ida, Lisa, Dewi, Shela dan Ade Ratna. Buat gue mereka kelurga baru selama gue PKL. Gue dan mereka2 sering curhat tentang keluhan PKL di PT itu, susah senang kita saling cerita. Disana gue punya banyak pengalaman dan yg pasti punya banyak temen baru juga.

            Hari2 gue lewatin dengan santai walaupun kadang gue ngerasa cape, bosen, jenuh, ga betah de el el. Selama gue PKL gue pengen bgt buru2 kelar, karna gue cape dan udh mulai ga betah dengan suasana disana.

            Pas gue udh ngejalanin PKL 3 bulan akhirnya masa2 gue selesai. Jujur, gue seneng tapi sedih juga. Seneng karna gue udh kelar PKL dan sedih karna gue harus ninggalin temen2 PKL gue. Pas hari terakhir gue PKL, Ida ga masuk dan itu buat gue sedih bgt. Secara Ida temen PKL gue yg paling deket, gue jadi ga pamitan sama dia, gue sedih men L. Gue udh nahan2 supaya ga nangis, tapi pas liat Lisa nangis dan dia meluk gue tiba2 air mata gue turun bergerombol. Gue sedih bgt harus ninggalin mereka semua. Gue punya kebiasaan sama Lisa setiap gue dan dia ketemu pasti spontan langsung pelukan, itu yg bikin gue sedih. Gue ga bisa meluk temen2 gue lagi, gue ga bisa bercanda2 lagi sama mereka.

            Gue pikir masa PKL itu nyebelin tapi ternyata ga juga ya.. Dengan PKL gue bisa nambah temen lagi, bisa tau tentang sekolah mereka juga. Gue ga akan pernah ngelupain masa2 PKL gue ini, gue ga bakal lupain temen2 gue selama gue PKL. Gue sayang mereka semua, mungkin suatu saat nanti gue bisa ketemu dan lebih akrab lagi sama mereka dan semoga mereka ga ngelupain gue J

ini Lisa, Fathiyyah dan Ida {}

Use to/ Used to

There is a little confusion on how to use the words use to and used to. One reason for the confusion is that it is sometimes used as a verb, and sometimes used as an adjective. The other reason is because it seems like the tense changes. It's really quite simple when you look at it.

Used as an adjective. Use to be + used toThis means to be accustomed to. For example- I can study with the TV on. I am used to it. It means I am accustomed, adjusted, or don't mind having the TV play while I'm studying.

Or another example- Tim had a hard time living in Tokyo. He wasn't used to so many people. Tim didn't have experience being with big crowds of people before.
Used as a verb. Use to + verb is a regular verb and means something that happened but doesn't happen any more. It uses -ed to show past tense. But since it always means something that happened in the past, it should always use past tense. For example- used togo to school in Paris. (I went to school there before, but now I don't.) Or, When Joshua was a child, he used to climb trees. (Now he doesn't climb trees.)

Remember, we always use this word when talking about the past. So when do you use use to without the d at the end? When the base form of the verb is used. Look at these examples- She didn't use to swim before noon. (Now she does swim before noon.) Or Did your father use to ride a horse? In these cases the past tense is shown with the did and didn't. 

Conjuction

Salah satu dari part of Speech yang perlu kita pelajari adalah Conjunctions.Conjunctions (Kata Sambung) adalah kata yang digunakan untuk menghubungkan kata-kata, ungkapan atau kalimat dan sebagainya. Kata Sambung yang paling umum digunakan dalam Bahasa Inggris adalah “and”, “or” dan “but”. Conjuction dibagi menjadi dua, yaitu:
Coordinating ConjunctionsSubordinating Conjunctions
and, but, or, nor, for, yet, soalthough, because, since, unless
Contoh:
  1. Jamie, Adam and Lee arranged to meet by The Bull at 7 o’clock.
    (Conjunction “and” menghubungkan “Jamie”, “Adam” + “Lee”)
  2. It is a small but practical kitchen.
    (Conjunction “but” menghubungkan “small” + “practical”)
  3. The manager or his secretary will notify you when the report is ready.
    (Conjunction “or” menghubungkan “manager” + “secretary”)

Arguing

Dialogue arguing

JO         : There’s no point in arguing with you, I’ll never win.
TOM     : No, because I’m right!
JO         : Not because of that, because you’re better at arguing than me.
TOM     : Eh? You’re not stupid. If I’m wrong, you should be able to show that I’m wrong. If you can’t, then saying I’m better at arguing than you is just another of saying I’m right and you’re wrong!
JO         : Not at all. Just because you can construct better arguments than me, that doesn’t mean you’re right. People can construct very good arguments for false positions.
TOM     : Sure they do, but if we’re committed to rational debate, then you surely have to accept whatever the best argument leads you to. You wouldn’t say “There’s no point arguing with you, your evidence is better than mine”. If I have better evidence, you should agree with me; likewise if I have better arguments.
JO         : It’s not quite the same. If the evidence supports one theory better than another, then we both have good reasons for accepting that. But the strength of arguments depends much more on the strength of the arguer. For example, I bet if you wanted to, you could beat me in almost any argument, even if you chose to defend a position you thought was false.
TOM     : I’m not sure about that! But even if it’s true, you’ve got a problem. I assume you think that as a rational person, you should accept whatever position has the best arguments in favour of it?
JO         : I guess so.
TOM     : Well better arguments are bound to come from people who are better arguers! So you can’t just refuse to accept what I say on the basis that I’m better at arguing than you.
JO         : I still think I’m on to something here, but, as usual, right now, you have the better argument.
TOM     : Because I’m right!
JO         : Because you’re the better arguer – it’s not the same.
TOM     : Grr!
