There are three points of summary:
-Article The and A/An
-No article
-Direct ‘n’ Indirect speech







Article The and A/An


There are two types of articles that is used by English. First, ‘the’ (definite article) and the second is ‘a/an’ (indefinite article). The different between both of it is:
·         ‘The’ is used for specific or particular nouns.
·         ‘A/An’ is used for non-specific or non-particular noun.
That’s why the first is called definite article and the second is indefinite article.
Example:

Definite Article
Lisa:       "could you take me to the mall?"
Jessica: “ok, let’s go”

Indefinite Article
Boby:    " could you take me to a mall?"
Rudi:      “wich mall that you want?”

From the example, we can conclude that if we use the Definite Article the responses will be know what we mean/ask. The exact opposite with Indefinite Article is that the responses not knowing what we mean/ask. Because (from the example) a mall is refers to any mall.


There are some rules of the usage.
1.       If the noun is changed by an adjective, the Indefinite Article depends on the first alphabet of the adjective. ‘a’ is used If the first alphabet of the adjective is consonant. But if the first alpahabet of the adjective is vocal, it is using ‘the’. For example:
·         a cup of coffee
·         an urgent situation

2.       Noncount nouns is using ‘The’ or Definite Article.

3.       Count noun is using ‘A/An’ or Indefinite Article.

4.       the indefinite articles are used to indicate membership whether it is a profession,
nation, or religion.

Kuliah, Lomba, Organisasi. Why not?

Perspektif. Disini aku tidak bermaksud untuk menyamaratakan antara pandanganku dengan pengalaman atau realita yang teman-teman miliki baik yang sedang ataupun pernah menjadi mahasiswa. Ini murni perspektif yang aku miliki, teman-teman. J Kesempatan untuk menjadi mahasiswa merupakan suatu kebanggan tersendiri, mengetahui perbedaan antara dosen dengan guru, sampai menunggu jam pulang hanya untuk segera nongkrong/main dengan teman-teman sudah menjadi kebiasaan yang jika tidak dilakukan akan terasa janggal. Hari demi hari, minggu demi minggu terlewati dengan rutinitas yang ‘gitu-gitu aja’. Berangkat kuliah, belajar, main, pulang. Sampai pada titik dimana alam bawah sadar bilang  “are you serious to spend the rest of your campus life like you used to do?”   Kejenuhan akan rutinitas yang “ less value” mengantarkan diri untuk bergabung dengan organisasi. My life changed. Organisasi yang tepat memang akan mewarnai kehidupan kampus. Mulai dari jadi koordinator divisi yang

The Beauty of Islam Perspective That We Need to Learn

Tarbiyyah:  Bukan hanya tentang membentuk manusia menjadi manusia islam melainkan lebih dari itu, yakni membangun suatu peradaban. Ketika diri terlalu menggembor-gemborkan sifat “keakuan”, maka islam akan mengalami stagnansi. Stagnansi dalam berpikir dan bertindak akan menjadikan poros islam yang semula bersih, tumbuh dan “menakutkan” bagi kaum non muslim akan beralih menjadi islam yang hanya dikenal sebagai agama yang besifat ritualistik. Untuk menjadi manusia islam ternyata bukan ketika kita selesai mengucapkan kalimat tauhid. Tetapi ketika kita mampu menjadikan pandangan islam/sudut pandang islam sebagai satu-satunya kiblat dalam menjalankan hidup.

Here is the steps : 1.     Merancang cita-cita 2.     Merancang karakter yang ideal dengan cita-cita pada nomor 1 3.     Mengukur diri sejauh mana hari yang telah terlewati dengan karakter ideal yang tercantum
