IS A ROBOT AN IDEAL WORKER?
We often hear a complaint about work in a factory. The
work is too boring, heavy, repetitive, and even too dangerous
for the worker. The operative does not have to think about
the work. He gets no job satisfaction.
One answer to this problem is a robot. For a certain job, a
robot is much better than a human operative. Once it has been
programmed, it will do its job over and over again. It never
gets bored; it works at a constant speed; it does not make a
mistake; its work is always of the same standard; it does not
get tired; it does not go on strike; it can work for 24 hours
without a break for food, rest, or sleep; it does not take a
holiday or demand a higher wage.
Dear Anissa,
Safira and I (am / are) having the best holiday in
our life. We (are / is) in Yogyakarta, one of the loveliest
(city / cities) in Indonesia. Although (they are / it is)
much smaller than Jakarta, there seems to be more to
do in Yogyakarta. Moreover, the (people / person) here
seem to be friendlier than (that / those) on the other
(place / places). We (is / are) staying in the most
comfortable hotel I have ever stayed. (It’s / They’re)
small and cool, and many (person / people) think
(they’re / it’s) the best hotel in Yogyakarta. (They’re /
It’s) much more interesting than any other (hotel /
hotels), and (it’s / they’re) even smaller than losmen,
but (they / it) has a very artistic (swimming pool /
swimming pools) where we can go swimming a lot.
(They’re / It’s) really good, and I do wish you were
here.
Love,
Fasya
70 English for SMK Grade X
A robot is usually made to act like a human machine. It
has another advantage, too. It can be designed to do almost
any job. You cannot change a human body, but a robot’s arm,
for example, can be made to move in any direction. A robot
can also do very heavy work and it can operate in a condition
that is too dangerous, too hot or too cold for a person to work
in. It can work under water, in a poisonous, radioactive area.
And on top of all this, a robot never complains.

AN ANTIQUE CAR
Mr. Basuki is a very popular mechanic in his town. When he
was thirty-five years old, one of his fellows gave him a very old car as
his birthday gift. The car was very dirty and rusty, but its engine was
not so bad and worked well enough.
Mr. Basuki was so pleased to have s uch an old car. He knew that
the car was so antique that it could be a very precious object if he fixed
and repainted it. One day he took his old car out of the garage and
then said to his wife, “I’m going downtown to purchase some spare
parts and paint for this car.”
Hearrived at a silent road after a few kilometers from his house,
but suddenly his car stopped. Mr. Basuki got out, opened the bonnet of
the car, and checked its engine, but he didn’t discover anything wrong
with it.
His head was under the bonnet for quite a long time. Then a
young man ran to his car and started pulling off one of the red lights at
the back. Of course, Mr. Basuki was very surprised, put his head up,
stared at the young man, and shouted angrily, “What are you doing?!”
72 English for SMK Grade X
The young man answered, “You can steal the pieces at the front.
I’m going to take the ones at the back.”

Activity 38 Find the antonym of the underlined words
and rewrite the text.
BEHAVIOUR AND WORK HABBITS IN THE WORKPLACE
Smart and quiet behaviour in the workplace can cause
serious or even fatal accidents. Behaviour like this is called
horseplay. If you interfere with the work of others or make
practical joking, it can also be very safe. Horseplay, running,
and throwing objects in the workplace are good work habits
and can cause accidents.
Bad work habits keep a workplace dangerous. A dangerous
worker is messy in his habits. He keeps a messy bench and a
messy store. The floor around the bench or machine is never
dirty. He always puts rubbish and waste into the wrong bins.
In this way, he prevents obstruction of fire.
A dangerous worker does not wait for accident to
happen. He never takes actions after they happen. If he sees
some oil on the floor, he does not leave it there. Somebody
may slip on that oil and so he wipes it up.
He does not leave tools lying around or on top of machines.
Tools can fall into the moving parts of a machine. The machine
may be damaged, or the operator may be badly injured.
The dangerous worker does these things through habits.
As he works, he is thinking of the safety. He is trying to
remove the safety. He is thinking not only of himself, but
also of his fellow workers.

smoke?” said the woman. At first I wanted to say, “Well, I
feel sick when people smoke. Can you find another seat?”.
But of course, I smiled a charming smile and said, “Yes,
certainly”. I still have not finished that last chapter and still
don’t know who the murderer was. You see, I am unfortunately
one of those people who find it difficult to say “No” to
expressions like “May I …”, “Do you mind if I …”, or “Is it
alright if I …”. The trouble is that when I hear those magic
words, I just don’t have the courage to refuse. Well, what do
you say to those difficult questions?

Activity 5 Read this passage. Rewrite the bold printed
phrases next to the pictures of traffic signs.
Amel also has an experience of the trip to Malang. Here is
the story.
When I was a student of elementary school, I went to
Malang for the first time. I went there with my family driving
my father’s car. I wondered to see many traffic signs along
the trip. The first sign which I saw was that drivers must
wear their seat belt. My father showed it to me while he
was explaining the meaning of it. When passing a school zone,
I found the second sign which meant a school crosswalk
ahead. Then, the car was running slowly when I saw a sign
of road work ahead. Some minutes later, I heard a bell,
saw flashing lights ahead and a sign of railway crossing
beside the road. Later, I saw a train pass. When we passed a
countryside, the road was hilly. There, I saw a sign of steep
hill ahead. There was also a sign of narrow bridge ahead
so my father drove the car slowly. I was very excited that I
could enjoy watching a panorama on the bridge.
Unfortunately, the rain fell and my father had to slow down
his car. There was a sign of road surface slippery when
wet. At the time we passed an arterial road, there was a sign
of the heavy trucks should use this roadway. As we
would get into a tunnel, there was a sign of underpass
ahead. The overhead clearance was 3.1 meters. Our car
swayed to left side when we passed a sharp curve to the right.
There, I saw a group of arrowhead signs along of the road.
As I remembered, the signs were often found in a game of
car race.

Degree of Comparison
Activity 18 Study the following explanation.
􀀨 The Chicken Noodle soup is as expensive as the Clam
Chowder one.
􀀨 The coffee costs the same price as the tea.
􀀨 The Roast Beef is more expensive than Tuna Salad.
􀀨 The Tuna Salad is cheaper than the Roast Beef.
􀀨 The iced tea is the most expensive among all beverages.
It can be learned from the examples above that there are
three degrees of comparison, i.e. positive, comparative and
superlative degree.
The followings are some common rules in forming the
comparative and superlative degree of comparison.
1. For one syllable words,
a) add –er for the comparative degree and add –est
for the superlative.
e.g.: tall taller tallest
sweet sweeter sweetest
b) Adjectives ending in –e, just add –r and –st.
e.g.: large larger largest
late later latest
Positive Comparative Superlative
cheap cheap (the) cheapest
expensive more expensive (the) most expensive
148 English for SMK Grade X
c) If the adjectives end in a vowel and a consonant,
double the consonant before adding –er and –est.
e.g.: fat fatter fattest
thin thinner thinnest
2. For two syllables words,
a) If the adjectives end in –y, add –er for the
comparative degree and add –est for the superlative.
e.g.: busy busier busiest
ugly uglier ugliest
It is also preferred to add –er and –est for the
following adjectives.
clever cleverer cleverest
narrow narrower narrowest
quiet quieter quietest
simple simpler simplest
b) For most adjectives and adverbs, precede more for
the comparative degree and most for the superlative.
e.g.: famous more famous most famous
tragic more tragic most tragic
3. For the adverbs end in –ly either of two or more syllable,
precede more for the comparative degree and most for
the superlative.
e.g.: slowly more slowly most slowly
carefully more carefully most carefully
It is an exception for the adverb early. It uses suffix –er and
–est.
early earlier earliest
4. For more than two syllables words, just precede more
for the comparative degree and most for the superlative.
e.g.: difficult more difficult most difficult
interesting more interesting most interesting
5. There are some irregular forms of comparative and
superlative degree.

CONDITIONAL SENTENSES TYPE 1
In the last section of this unit you found these sentences:
1. If you pass the hall, you will see Krida Loka conference
room.
2. It will take about 5 minutes if you go there on foot.
NOTES:
1. The sentences consist of two clauses, the main clause
and the If clause.
2. The If clause gives a condition to the main clause.
The condition is introduced with “IF”, that is why it is
called an IF-conditional clause. The condition is real
in a sense that the condition may actually happen in the
future.
3. The main clause tells us the result if the condition
happens. It is called a result clause.
4. The main clause takes future tense, as in:
- You will see Krida Loka conference room
- It will take about five minutes
( Notes: the use of other present modals is possible, such
as: can or may)
5. The If clause takes simple present tense, as in:
- If you pass the hall
- If you go there on foot.
6. The If clause can be in initial or final position. When
you put it in the initial position, don’t forget to put a
comma (,).

PERSONAL INVITATION
Activity 12 Study the following explanation.
As we know, a written invitation is more effective than
a spoken one. If we invite someone orally, he/she may forget
to come because it is the nature of human to easily forget
something. In making a written invitation, you must be
careful to include the following information:
1. your full address;
2. the date, time, and place;
3. any necessary explanation regarding the kind of event
or programme.
The format of personal invitation is similar to the one of
personal letter. The illustration is as the following:
Mr. and Mrs. Kusno Raharjo
Request the pleasure of
Mr. and Mrs. Wiryo Subroto
for dinner
on Wednesday, the third of October
at seven o’clock
Jl. Merapi no. 78
RSVP
Jl. Merapi no. 78 Boyolali
0276-356789
b.
189
1. The Heading
It consists of three lines. The first line contains your
address. The second one is the name of your town and postal
code (if there is one). The third shows the date. The most
common written date is month day, year.
2. The Salutation
It greets the reader. The usual form is the word “dear”
followed by the person name who is addressed to. There is a
comma after the salutation.
3. The Body
The body is the real letter itself. In a common personal
letter, the first line is indented. The example can be seen on
the letter above.
4. The Closing
If the closing consists of more than one word, only the
first word of the closing is capitalized.
5. The Signature
The signature is below the closing whether the letter is typed
or hand-written. It should not trail off the space of the right
margin.

196 English for SMK Grade X
Memorandum
Memorandum (also more commonly memo) is a brief
written record of communication, used in office, whether
business, government, education institution or legal office
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorandum). The usual
structure for a memo includes some or all of the following:
MEMORANDUM
TO : the person or group receiving the memo
(recipient).
FROM : the person writing the memo (sender).
C.C. : (Carbon Copy) the person or group who
should be informed about the memo
DATE : usually a formal manner of writing the date
(month/day/year).
For example: February 22nd, 2009
SUBJECT : a short specific topic discussed in the memo.
This should be in bold.
(instead of SUBJECT:, it’s also acceptable to
use RE: which means regarding or reference)
introduction: explains why the memo has been written and
what topic will discuss. You can start your idea of this
introduction by responding this sentence,” I’m writing
because..”. When the memo is long, the introduction is in a
single paragraph as an executive summary of the memo
itself.
body: discusses the topic in detail. It explains a thing exactly
and list items when possible. In a long memo, the body
contains discussion of background information. You can use
this phrase “the facts are…” to develop the body part of a
memo.
conclusion: explains what will or should happen next, when
the follow up will occur and why the date is important. In
most memos, the conclusion is in form of actions. The main
idea of this part is that “I will” or “I propose that you …”
197
Points to remember in writing memos:
• in short, begin your memo by stating the purpose and
end it by letting the recipient know the action.
• Memos are concise and focus on a single purpose. It’s
usually not more than one page. If you have more topics,
write a separate memo for each. If you have an
attachment, put it in separate sheet of paper.
• Use bullets in listing to highlight the items.
• Use 1 inch margins all around.
• Use block style paragraphs (left justified).
• Single space your memo, unless the memo is very short.
• Use an easy-to-read 12-point font
• Don’t use complementary close (e.g., sincerely) and don’t
sign a memo at the bottom.
• Check the spelling and proofread carefully for mistakes
and missing words.
• Add your initials beside your name at the top to indicate
that you have read and approved the memo.
Activity 27 Study this memo and explain the parts of it.
TO : Sales Staffs
FROM : Mr. Roger Bloom
DATE : December 1, 2008
