What is a noun? 

A noun is a part of speech that is used to name a person, place, thing, quality, or action. A noun can function as a subject, object, complement, appositive, or object of a preposition. 

Plural vs singular 

Nouns can be singular or plural. The plural form of a noun is usually formed by adding s at the end of the noun. But this is not always the case. There are exceptions to the rule. 

Some plurals are irregular: 

Singular Plural 

fish     fish 

tooth    teeth 

man      men 

woman    women 

Different types of nouns There are different types of nouns: 

1. An abstract noun names an idea, event, quality, or concept (freedom, love, courage...) Concrete nouns name something recognizable through the sense (table, dog, house...) 

2. Animate nouns refer to a person, animal, or other creature (man, elephant, chicken...) An inanimate noun refers to a material object (stone, wood, table...) 3. A collective noun describes a group of things or people as a unit (family, flock, audience...) 

4. Common noun is the name of a group of similar things (table, book, window...) Proper nouns, however, refer to the name of a single person, place or thing (John, Joseph, London...) 

5. Compound nouns refer to two or more nouns combined to form a single noun (sister-in-law, schoolboy, fruit juice) 

6. Countable (or count) nouns have a singular and a plural form. In plural, these nouns can be used with a number- they can be counted. (friends, chairs, houses, boys...) Uncountable (or non count) nouns, however, can only be used in singular. They can't be counted. (money, bread, water, coffee...)

The present indicative of most verbs in modern English has the same form as the infinitive, except for the third-person singular form, which takes the ending -[e]s. The verb be has the forms am, is, are. For details see English verbs. For the present subjunctive, see English subjunctive. A number of multi-word constructions exist to express combinations of present tense with aspect. The basic form of the present tense is called the simple present; there are also constructions known as the present progressive (or present continuous) (e.g. am writing), the present perfect (e.g. have written), and the present perfect progressive (e.g. have been writing).

Use of the present tense does not always imply present time. In particular, the present tense is often used to refer to future events (I am seeing James tomorrow; My train leaves at 3 o'clock this afternoon). This is particularly the case in condition clauses and many other adverbial subordinate clauses: If you see him,...; As soon as they arrive... There is also the historical present, in which the present tense is used to narrate past events.

For details of the uses of present tense constructions in English, see Uses of English verb forms. The formula: Positive: S + V1 (s / es) Negative: S + DO / DOES + NOT + V1 Question: DO / DOES + S + V1

It is used to express an action in present time, habitual or usual actions or daily event or universal fact. It is used to express an action in present time which is usually done on a regular basis.

For example a student says, “I go to school”. It is a daily activity of a student to go to school, so such actions are expressed by present simple tense. Another example is, “I work in a factory”. It tells about a usual action of a person that he works in a factory on regular basis.

Positive Sentence Examples; He gets up early in the morning.

Negative Sentences Examples; He does not get up early in the morning.

Note: In negative sentence auxiliary verb “do or does” along with “not” is used. If the subject in a sentence is “he, she, it, singular or proper noun”, then “Does not” is used after subject in sentence. If subject is “I, we, they, you or plural” then “Do not” is used after subject in sentence. “s” or “es” is not added to main verb in negative sentence

Interrogative Sentence Examples; Does he get up early in the morning?

Note: If the subject in a sentence is “he, she, it, singular or proper noun” the sentence is started with Auxiliary verb “Does”. If the subject in a sentence is “I, we, they, you or plural” the sentence is started with auxiliary verb “Do”. “s” or “es” is not added to main verb in Interrogative sentence

Negative Sentences Water does not maintain its surface level.

A job is an activity, often regular, and often performed in exchange for payment. A person usually begins a job by becoming an employee, volunteering, or starting a business. The duration of a job may range from an hour (in the case of odd jobs) to a lifetime (in the case of some judges). The activity that requires a person's mental or physical effort is work (as in "a day's work"). If a person is trained for a certain type of job, they may have a profession. The series of jobs a person holds in their life is their career. 

Here are a variety of jobs: full time, part time, temporary, odd jobs, seasonal, self-employment. People might have a chosen occupation for which they have received training or a degree. Those who do not hold down a steady job may do odd jobs or be unemployed. Moonlighting is the practice of holding an additional job or jobs, often at night, in addition to one's main job, usually to earn extra income. A person who moonlights may have little time left for sleep or leisure activities.

Berpikir kritis kerap menjadi masalah bagi anak muda sekarang. Masalah yang di maksud adalah tidak adanya pola pikir yang lebih jauh sebelum mengambil tindakan. Alhasil ketika mereka mengambil keputusan tanpa berpikir maka sesuatu yang berdampak pun akan terjadi. Saya pernah mengalami hal semacam ini, pada waktu saya menduduki kelas 3 sekolah menengah atas, Saya mengambil keputusan dengan sangat terburu-buru, meskipun awalnya keputusan itu baik, tetapi sebenarnya tidak, karena tidak disertai dengan berpikir kritis. Saya mendapat teguran dari bapak wali kelas saya, sehingga bapak wali kelas saya tidak memaafkan saya, karena wali kelas menganggap tindakan saya mungkin tidak baik. Saya mencoba selalu meminta maaf kepada beliau, tapi beliau belum memaafkan, dan saya mencobanya lagi untuk mendapatkan kata maaf dari beliau. Akhirnya, saya mendapat sebuah kata yang sangat mulia itu dari beliau dan saya mengakui kesalan saya. Sekarang, saya menemukan kembali permasalahan seperti itu, pemasalahan yang biasa terjadi ketika kita tidak berpikir kritis. Seseorang yang berpikir kritis pasti ada jiwa kepemimpinan didalam dirinya, Jika ia ditimpa musibah bukan turun dari jabatan yang harus menyelesaikan masalah, tapi bagaimana dia meminta maaf atas kesalahannya dan dapat memperbaikinya. Jangan pernah seorang pemimpin pikiran mereka hanya dangkal. Artinya ketika ditimpa musibah segala sesuatunya dipikir hanya untuk menyerah.Seseorang yang duduk di bangku sekolah dasar, menengah pertama, menengah atas, bahkan perkuliahan mempunya pola pikir yang berbeda. Yang mempunya sifat kritis ialah mereka yang duduk di bangku perkuliahan. Oleh karena itu tempat perkuliahan merupakan suatu wadah bagi kita untuk selalu menyertakannya, karena nantinya kita akan dihadapi dengan dunia yang sebenarnya ketika kita selesai dari bangku perkuliahan. Disitulah kamu memberikan apa yang terbaik, karena bukan hanya orang yang jumlahnya sedikit kamu hadapi, tapi jumlahnya mungkin tidak dapat terhitumg. Maka berpikirlah sebelum mengambil keputusan. Apabila kamu tidak melakukannya, kamu akan dinilai sebagai orang yang tidak kritis dan mengambil keputusan tanpa pertimbangan. Ini adalah salah satu kebiasaan yang kita tekuni ketika kita masih dibangku perkuliahan. Nah, di bangku perkuliahan inilah kita harus memupuk diri kita untuk kritis, karena itu menjadi bekal bagi kita di masa yang kan datang. Sebagaimana pepatah mengatakan “Kecil teranjak-anjak, besar terbawa-bawa. jika kamu membiasakan hal tersebut maka kamu tidak akan melupakannya di manapun kita berada.

Akhirnya, dialam hidup ini, marilh kita menanamkan sifat kritis di dalam diri kita. Dengan demikian segala langkah yang kita ambil, atau segala keputusan yang kita tetapkan membuahkan hasil yang maksimal. Dan Marilah kita melatih diri untuk mulai mengambil keputusan yang sangat sederhana, sebelum kita kan di hadapkan dengan keputusan yang begitu sulit. Selanjutnya, kita tidak perlu kwatir lagi, karena berlatih adalah salah satu tahap bagi kita untuk menciptakan hasil yang lebih baik. Sama halnya dengan berpikir keritis sebelum mengambil keputusan.

Here, I want to declare about direct and indirect speech. This is our subject when I demonstrate Presentation in front of the class. Do you know what is Direct speech?. Direct speech is what you say with your statement, question, imperative and  exclamation sentence. In reported speech, you should take your attention to change the tenses and adverb of time and place, and  you change the pronoun of them.

A. Change the Tense

If tenses, in the reported speech " said" it is following with the explanation about tenses, and if the reported speech " says" will said" has said" and general truth don't conversion of tenses.

e.g :

DS: He said,"I was playing guitar." IS: He said that He have been playing guitar.

DS: I says, " I will swim." IS: I says that I will swim.

DS: Aris Said, " the year has 12 months."(General truth) IS: Aris said that the year has 12 months.

B. Change the adverb time and place

this is important in the direct speech and indirect speech. if you don't know the how to change the adverb time and place, when you make them, of course when you conversion DS to IS is hard.

Now - then, tomorrow-the following day, today-that day, that-his, next month/next year-the following year, can-could, will-would, must-had to etc.

C. Change the Pronoun

There are 3 step to change the pronoun from direct speech into indirect speech.

If the first person ( We and I ) in the reporting become subject, change into subject in the reported speech.

E.g: DS: She said, " I like banana." IS: She said that she liked banana.

DS: They said, " We like banana." IS: they said that they liked banana.

If the second person (you) in the reporting speech become subject, change into object in the reported speech.

e.g: DS: She said to me, " you like banana." IS: She said to me that I liked banana.

If the third person (she, he, it) in the reporting speech become subject, don't change.

e.g: DS: She said , " she likes banana." IS: She said that she liked banana.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen.

Have you ever listen story regarding old woman and her neighbor. The old woman has a nice neighbor and her name is Dinda. When dinda take to continuous her job, she got incident in the part of the way. After the incident happen, a lot of society surround part of the way directly help her. Moreover one of the societies took her into the hospital. After she arrives in the hospital, the doctor examines the condition. As the result, Dinda obtain damage organ, it is kidney. Automatically, she needs organ transplantation. In the same time, the old woman directly listens regarding the incident. She went to the hospital and she contribute her organ donation that wanted by Dinda. After the old woman gave adjustment, the doctor commits the transplantation organ. After it done, condition both of them is saving. Furthermore, Dinda still believe, there are many people care to other people. Besides, Dinda is very grateful, because The old woman can overcome her limitation.

What is your response? I believe that organ donor should not be stopped. Organ donor is wanted by people who have a serious illness. I wish discuss organ donor save person live, it create social value, and it can make recipient overcome their limitations.

First of all, organ donor rescue person live. There are a lot of people necessary help other people. If they help regarding organ donation, that is action which precious. Base on data in United States 80 million people contribute their organ after they passed away. On data above, the people open their mindset that save other people is very important. Not only open your mindset, but also they will not take everyone in the danger situation and condition. The people who has damage organ, make sure take one of organ donation to run their live. Accordingly, organ donation should not be stopped because of it would give them a chance to live longer and most healthy.

Secondly, organ donation creates social value. Social value is the value that is shared by community of what constitutes well and what is considered badly by society. To define something is said to be good or bad, appropriate or inappropriate to go through the process of weighing. Same with organ donor, before they contribute their organ, they have already though the consequence of the act. The people that still contribute their organ after they know it, means the people has social value is high. Organ transplant in china continues to increase dramatically. In 2004, as many as 507 times transplant. It indicates that there are presences of the person caring for others, in order to establish a social value. Thus, organ donation should not be stopped because of it has social and human values when done on the basis of humaneness.

Finally, organ donor makes recipient overcome their limitation. Recipients are person very grateful to get help. If assistance is about organ donor, make sure they will feel happy. Not only feel happy, but they can overcome their limitation. Limitations make someone embarrasses to do something. With organ donor is given by someone who has a noble heart, they provide the opportunity for the recipient to feel the perfection of parts their body. The people who lost their kidney, they cannot live longer than before. With organ donation, they would overcome their limitation. Donor will get something good in accordance with he did. The recipient will fell satisfied because of their limitations can be overcome. Therefore, organ donation should not be stopped because of it can make a people overcome their limitation.

In conclusion, transplantation organ is everything that exists in every country. We cannot avoid it. Let us look at the positive perspective, transplantation organ has benefits, such as save the lives of others, create social value, and can overcome the limitation of others. It is all a thing that we have to realize. It is a necessity for others, and if we provide our necessary to others, automatically we have created social value in ourselves. Of course, we assume that organ donor can decrease of level their limitations, thus they should not ashamed in doing something. Let me reiterate that the people done transplantation organ, most of them have died. They have done agreement before it. Moreover people that still alive done it, they have though consequence of their action before they do. That is evidence that transplantation organ should not stopped, because it take benefits to others.
