MT 's Quotation

Ooh ... cintamu diabaikan?

Engkau patah hati dan merasa dunia tak berarti lagi.

Kemudian kau kasihani dirimu dengan ratapan dan air mata, kau rusak kesehatanmu sendiri, yang menjadikanmu tak menarik bagi calon kekasih baru yang lebih baik dan memuliakanmu.

Apa yang membuatmu demikian yakin bahwa tak ada orang lebih baik daripada dia yang telah menyepelekan cintamu?

Engkau berhak bagi yang lebih baik.

"Mario Teguh"

INTRODUCTION

Language as a cultural product has always progressed. One of language that widely used in the world is English. As the international language, English is the language of diplomacy and international communications, business, tourism, education, science, computer technology, media and Internet.

English is used in many countries as a mother tongue or as a second language. It is spoken as the first language by the majority populations of several foreign states, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and a number of Caribbean nations. English is also spoken as a second language in many Commonwealth countries and the United Nations and world organizations. That's why English has developed in many variations. The types of English that most commonly used are the British English and American English.

British English and American English have some differences which can enrich the varieties in communication. The differences both of them are the pronunciation, lexical, vocabulary and grammatical. According to Priyasudiarja (2006:126) The differences in spelling, pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar is often confusing for those who are learning English. One of the differences is vocabulary. British English and American English vocabularies differ significantly each other. There are the same words which have different meanings or different words with the same meanings.

Over the time, the presence of technology like internet and globalized of the world, the kind of vocabularies both of them become more developed. Generally, the use of British English is commonly used for education and business. Otherwise, American English is commonly used by people in daily communication because of its simplicity and its frequency in trend society.

The use of American English and British English can make confuse the students in choosing the vocabulary. Sometimes, they use American English or British English in their daily communications.

Arguing

Should The college placement office be responsible for getting graduates job.

 The college placement office shouldn't be responsible for getting graduates job. For example, Sriwijaya University results many graduates every years. It's very hard if the college must be responsible for getting graduates job. The each collegians must have different skills and abilities. So, it's very difficult to place one by one graduates in getting a job. The college just role as the education institution, teaching the collegians, and result the good quality graduates. So that, It depends on the collegians, if they are professional graduates, they will get a job easily.But, if they are poor quality graduates, they will be difficult in getting a job. Finally, getting graduates job is not responsibility of college, but it depends on graduates' skill and abilities.

COMPARING AND CONTRASTING

Casual and Dress up

Casual and dress up are both useful in making good appearances, but they differ in style and time. A casual style is more simple than dress up style. People don't have to look dressy. People usually combine the simple clothes, like T-shirt, jeans, sweaters jacket, sandals, etc. Unlike casual, dress up have a pattern in wearing, like gowns, uniforms, blazers, trousers, skirts, dress, and another accessories such as a tie, a belt, a necklace ,etc. Usually, people wear this style to make their appearance look courteous and formal. Besides that, Both of them wear in different situation. A casual style is worn on informal situation, like go to campus or Mall, hang out with friends, and another daily activities. While a dress up style is worn in formal situation, the clothes look glamourous like party, ceremonies, meetings, and the other formal situations. Finally, I prefer to look simple with casual style to drees up style.

Ugly Neckties

There are three reasons that can make a tie looks ugly : a tie which is made of weird material, a tie which has bad design and a tie with the wrong combination color. First, a tie made from weird material like wool makes it looks as if it has been hand-crocheted. The knot is so thick it looks like some malignant tumor growing on the guy’s neck. A tie should be made of smooth material like cotton. Second, the bad design such as, the design of Mona Lisa on it or a huge broccoli, cabbage, and bananas make a tie looks ugly. Last, the wrong combination color also makes a tie looks like ugly. Combining orange bubbles with hot pink squares or dark brown stripes with neon blue rectangles and orange parrots and lavender fish make a tie look elegant silk with simple stripes or squares in subdued but rich colors. That’s all the bad things that make a tie can be ugly.
