CHAPTER 2 ADJECTIVE CLAUSE
Adjective clause or relative clause is a dependent clause which acts as an adjective which explains the
noun (noun) or pronoun (pronoun) in the main clause of a complex sentence.
Adjective clause atau relative clause adalah dependent clause yang berperan sebagai adjective (kata
sifat) yang menerangkan noun (kata benda) atau pronoun (kata ganti) pada main clause suatu complex
sentence
A relative pronoun (which, who, that) can function as a subject if there are no other subjects. The
position of the adjective clause in an English sentence always follows the nouns and pronouns that are
explained. The noun or pronoun in the main clause can function as a subject, object, or subject
complement in a sentence.
Example :
who He is the man who works hard to support their daily needs.
(Dia pria yang bekerja keras untuk menanggung kebutuhan sehari-hari mereka.)
whose The man, whose car had a flat tire, works as an English Teacher.
(The man yang ban mobilnya kempes bekerja sebagai guru bahasa Inggris.)
Relative adverb + S + V
Apart from the relative pronoun, there are also relative adverbs (when, where, why) that can be
juxtaposed in the use of the adjective clause. Relative adverb serves to explain or explain a noun as a
description of place, adverb of time, and also reason.
Axample :
(Saya masih ingat hari ketika kita pertama bertemu.) menerangkan “day” (object)
why This pie chart shows the main reasons why customers leave your company.
(Bagan pai ini menunjukkan alasan utama mengapa pelanggan meninggalkan perusahaanmu.)
Adverbial clause is a dependent clause which functions as an adverb and provides information about
verbs adjectives or adverbs that are in the independent clause with the capacity to answer questions
such as: how, when, where and why
Keterangan:
Her face looks fresh because she always eats well, sleeps enough, and exercises.
(Wajahnya tampak segar karena dia selalu makan dengan baik, tidur cukup, dan berolahraga.)
Keterangan:
adjective = fresh
(Dia mengemudi dengan cepat agar dia dapat tiba tepat waktu.)
Keterangan:
adverb = fast
Noun clause is a dependent clause or dependent clause that serves as a noun. What is a dependent
clause? It is a clause that can not stand alone as a whole sentence because the dependent clause does
not convey complete thinking even though he has the subject and the verb. While the noun clause can
serve as a component of sentences such as: subject, object of verb, object of preposition, and subject
complement and can be replaced with the pronoun "it".
Noun clause dapat diawali oleh noun clause markers atau subordinator berupa question word, if atau
whether, dan that.
if/whether/that/ question word + S + V + …
Noun Clause Marker
Question word exp: what(ever), what (time, kind, day, etc), who(ever) ,whose, whom(ever), which(ever),
where(ever),,when(ever),how (long, far, many times, old, etc),if/whether
The same sentence showing concession or contrast can be expressed in several different ways.
The two sentences given above express contrasting ideas. We can connect them in several different
ways.
Both though and although have the same meaning. They can both be used to connect these two clauses.
As and though
As and though can be used in a special structure after an adjective or adverb. In this case, they can both
mean ‘although’, and suggest an emphatic contrast.
These are discourse markers used to suggest that the second statement contrasts with the first. Note
that a discourse marker does not connect two clauses. They merely show how the ideas are related. In
writing, we separate the two clauses with a semicolon. A full stop is also possible.
She is pretty; all the same, she is not popular with men.
She is pretty; at the same time, she is not popular with men.
These are also discourse markers and cannot connect two clauses.
CHAPTER 6 READING
Reading Comprehension in English text is not only about how you read well which includes
pronunciation accuracy and loud voice. However, Reading Comprehension itself is an activity to build an
understanding of the meaning of a text which can then be translated by you and through your own
language. Furthermore, this understanding can be useful for others. PTER 6 SOME READING TEXT
Consider where you read. Always read in a well-lit and quiet place that is free of
distractions, and don’t get into the habit of reading uni materials in bed! (unless you
want to go to sleep).
Don’t vocalise as you read. This will slow you down, it won’t help concentration, and
Read at times when you can concentrate, and maintain concentration by taking
Set yourself reading tasks (10 pages, 1 chapter, 1 section of a chapter etc).

CHAPTER 6 READING
Naval architects never claim that a ship is unsinkable, but the sinking of the passenger-and-car ferry
Estonia in the Baltic surely should have never have happened. It was well designed and carefully
maintained. It carried the proper number of lifeboats. It had been thoroughly inspected the day of
its fatal voyage. Yet hours later, the Estonia rolled over and sank in a cold, stormy night. It went
down so quickly that most of those on board, caught in their dark, flooding cabins, had no chance to
save themselves: Of those who managed to scramble overboard, only 139 survived. The rest died of
hypothermia before the rescuers could pluck them from the cold sea. The final death toll amounted
to 912 souls. However, there were an unpleasant number of questions about why the Estonia sank
and why so many survivors were men in the prime of life, while most of the dead were women,
children and the elderly.
27. It is clear from the passage that the survivors of the accident
A) helped one another to overcome the tragedy that had affected them all
B) were mostly young men but women, children and the elderly stood little chance
C) helped save hundreds of lives
D) are still suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder
28. According to the passage, when Estonia sank,
A) there were only 139 passengers on board
B) few of the passengers were asleep
C) there were enough lifeboats for the number of people on board
D) faster reaction by the crew could have increased Estonia’s chances of survival
Erosion of America’s farmland by wind and water has been a problem since settlers first put the
prairies and grasslands under the plow in the nineteenth century. By the 1930s, more than 282
million acres of farmland were damaged by erosion. After 40 years of conservation efforts, soil
erosion has accelerated due to new demands placed on the land by heavy crop production. In the
years ahead, soil erosion and the pollution problems it causes are likely to replace petroleum
scarcity as the nation’s most critical natural resource problem.
30. The author points out in the passage that erosion in America
A) has damaged 282 million acres ever since settlers first put the prairies and grasslands under the
plough
B) has been so severe that it has forced people to abandon their settlements
C) occurs only in areas with no vegetation
D) can become a more serious problem in the future
