Nak….

Dengarkanlah suara hatiku

Banggakan orang tua dengan tekad yang kuat
Tak ada waktu untuk mengeluh dan putus asa
Usaha dan doa akan membawa bahagia

SENANDUNG HATI

DODI INDRA




Jendela pagi kubuka, disambut mentari

Bukan sekadar cahaya namun janji hari

Tiada lagi kelam yang pernah menyelimuti

Sebab semesta kini, telah bersemi kembali

Pada setiap tarikan napas yang kuhela

Kutemukan makna yang selama ini kupuja.

 

Oh, betapa hidup ini kanvas yang sempurna

Lukisan syukur yang tak pernah sirna

Di antara badai dan lautan yang luas

Kau hadir, dermaga cinta yang takkan terhempas

Hatiku adalah bejana yang tak lagi haus

Karena kasihmu mengalir, abadi, tulus.

 

Dulu, aku merangkai bintang di langit yang hampa

Mencari sepasang mata yang mampu membaca

Sunyi di balik tawa, duka di balik kata Kini,

Kau datang membawa isyarat yang nyata

Bukan hanya sapa, namun jiwa yang utuh

Dicintai sedalam samudra, tanpa keluh.

 

Oh, betapa hidup ini kanvas yang sempurna

Lukisan syukur yang tak pernah sirna

Di antara badai dan lautan yang luas

Kau hadir, dermaga cinta yang takkan terhempas

Hatiku adalah bejana yang tak lagi haus

Karena kasihmu mengalir, abadi, tulus.

 

 

Adakah kata yang sanggup menimbang segala rasa?

Selain terima kasih yang terucap di setiap jeda

Engkau adalah takdir yang kupegang erat

Anugerah terindah, melebihi semua hasrat

Aku tak meminta lagi, selain waktu yang merayap perlahan

Agar setiap detik ini, menjadi kenangan keemasan.

 

Oh, betapa hidup ini kanvas yang sempurna

Lukisan syukur yang tak pernah sirna

Di antara badai dan lautan yang luas

Kau hadir, dermaga cinta yang takkan terhempas

Hatiku adalah bejana yang tak lagi haus

Karena kasihmu mengalir, abadi, tulus.

 

Di dalam bahagia ini,

aku bersandar tenang Dalam dekapanmu yang hangat,

tak lekang…  Selamanya... syukur...

PAST TENSE

 


"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.  Good Morning my lovely students. How is life?. I hope you are healthy and happy today.

Bagaimana kabar kalian hari ini? Semoga semuanya sehat dan semangat belajar.


Hari ini kita akan belajar tentang Past Tense. Pernahkah kalian bercerita tentang kejadian yang sudah berlalu? Misalnya kemarin kalian bermain bola, atau minggu lalu kalian pergi liburan. Nah, untuk menceritakan hal yang sudah lewat, kita menggunakan Past Tense."

 

Definisi Past Tense


"Past Tense adalah bentuk kata kerja dalam bahasa Inggris yang digunakan untuk menyatakan peristiwa, kebiasaan, atau keadaan yang terjadi di masa lampau."

 

Kegunaan Past Tense


"Past Tense digunakan untuk:

1.   Menyatakan kejadian yang sudah selesai di masa lalu.
I watched TV yesterday.

2.   Menyatakan kebiasaan di masa lalu.
When I was a child, I played in the garden every day.

3.   Menyatakan keadaan atau situasi di masa lalu.
She was happy last night."

 

Ciri-Ciri Past Tense


"Bagaimana kita tahu kalau kalimat itu Past Tense? Ada beberapa cirinya:

1.   Menggunakan kata kerja bentuk kedua (Verb 2).
go → went, eat → ate, play → played

2.   Sering ada keterangan waktu lampau (time signal), seperti: yesterday, last night, last week, two days ago, in 2000, dan sebagainya.

3.   Kalau bentuk nominal (tanpa kata kerja utama), biasanya menggunakan was atau were."

 

Past Tense Nominal


"Nominal artinya kalimatnya tidak ada kata kerja aksi (verb), tapi hanya to be (was/were).

🔹 Rumus Nominal:

  • (+) Subject + was/were + Complement
  • (-) Subject + was/were + not + Complement
  • (?) Was/Were + Subject + Complement?

🔹 Contoh:

  • (+) She was at the market yesterday.
  • (-) She was not at the market yesterday.
  • (?) Was she at the market yesterday?"

 

Past Tense Verbal


"Kalau verbal, kalimatnya menggunakan kata kerja bentuk kedua (Verb 2).

🔹 Rumus Verbal:

  • (+) Subject + Verb 2 + Object/Complement
  • (-) Subject + did not + Verb 1 + Object/Complement
  • (?) Did + Subject + Verb 1 + Object/Complement?

🔹 Contoh:

  • (+) They played football last Sunday.
  • (-) They did not play football last Sunday.
  • (?) Did they play football last Sunday?"

 

Latihan Singkat


"Yuk kita coba buat. Misalnya kata kerja eat → bentuk Past Tense ate.
Kalau saya bilang. Kalian akan membuat kalimat sederhana tentang kata tersebut ya.  Contohnya.


I ate fried rice this morning. atau

Nah, mudah bukan?"

THE UGLY DUCKLING

 

 


          By the side of a quiet pond, in a nest of reeds, a mother swan was waiting. One by one, her eggs cracked open.

          “Quack! Quack!” cried six tiny ducklings. They were small, fluffy, and bright yellow.  But the last egg was different. When it finally cracked, out came a larger duckling with gray feathers, long legs, and a strange beak.



          The mother blinked. “Oh… my little one looks different. But still, you are my child.”

The six ducklings laughed. “Ha… ha! Look at her feathers so gray!”

“Her beak is too long!”

“She looks ugly!”

The little duck lowered her head. She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to go.

          When the ducklings played in the water, the six sisters swam together, splashing and laughing.

“Don’t follow us!” one sister shouted.

“You’re too ugly to be our friend!” said another.

         


The frogs giggled from the lily pads. The fish darted away whenever the ugly duck swam near. Even the birds in the trees whispered, “She doesn’t belong here.”

          The little duck sighed. “Why am I so different? Why won’t anyone play with me?”

Her mother stroked her gently. “Be patient, my child. Time will tell who you really are.”

          

Days turned into weeks. Weeks turned into months. The ducklings grew.

The six sisters stayed small and ordinary, their yellow feathers turning brown. But the ugly duck kept changing. She grew taller. Her wings stretched wide. Her gray feathers slowly turned white, shining under the sunlight.

 


          One morning, the ugly duck walked to the pond and saw her reflection. She gasped. “That… that’s me?”

          Her feathers were now snowy white, smooth and glowing. Her neck was long and elegant. She was no longer clumsy, but graceful.




          The six sisters waddled over and froze.

“Is that really… our ugly sister?”

“She’s not ugly at all. She’s beautiful!”

          The frogs stared with wide eyes. Even the fish stopped swimming to admire her.
“She’s a swan,” whispered the mother softly. “She was never a duck at all.”

 



          The once ugly duck lifted her wings. She felt the wind beneath them. With one strong push, she soared into the sky, gliding over the pond. From above, she called out

“I was never ugly. I was just waiting for my time to shine.”

And from that day on, she no longer cared about the laughter or the whispers. She had found her true self. ( dodiindranotesaja@blogspot.com )
