The Bear and Rabbit

Once upon a time, there lived a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit is a good shot. In contrary, the bear is always clumsy and could not use the arrow.

One day, the bear called over the rabbit and asked the rabbit to take his bow and arrows.
The rabbit was fearing to arouse the bear's anger so he could not refuse it. He went with the bear and shot enough buffalo to satisfy the hungry family. Indeed he shot and killed so many that there were lots of meats left after.

However the bear did not want the rabbit to get any of the meat. The rabbit could not even taste the meat. The poor rabbit would have to go home hungry after his hard day's work.

The bear was the father of five children. Fortunately, the youngest child was very kind to the rabbit. He was very hearty eater. The mother bear always gave him an extra large piece of meat but the youngest child did not eat it. He would take it outside with him and pretended to play ball with the meat. He kicked toward the rabbit's house.When he got close to the door he would give the meat with such a great kick. The meat would fly into the rabbit's house. In this way, the poor rabbit would get his meal.

Review

HABIBIE AINUN, The recent love story

  One of the most popular romantic melodrama movies by a young director, Faozan Rizal, has break record of the most watched movie in theater. The movie which based from B.J habibie’s biography “HABIBIE & AINUN”, are starring by Reza Rahardian as Habibie, and Bunga citra Lestari as Ainun.

  The story of this movie, which based of BJ habibie’s biography began with the first met of Rudy Habibie and Ainun when they were in high school. As the two smartest students, their teachers and friends were often making fun of them and told her that she looked like palm sugar because she has dark skin. When they were graduated, Rudy work as an engineer from Germany and Ainun work as a pediatrician

  Ainun, though she had many admirers, but the one she loved the most was only Rudy. After married a few months later at 12 May 1962, Rudy returned to Germany with his wife. The power of their love made them survived and fought until they had their established position. Bad thing appeared suddenly when a doctor told Ainun that she got ovarian cancer, fortunately she can survived. Rudy as a genius person of Indonesia had a big dream to make plane for his country. This big dream then came true. Rudy made IPTN (industri pesawat terbang nusantara) in 1974.

  His career in Indonesia increased from time to time, but not easy at all, and his big dream came true through Gatotkoco in 1995. In 1998 crisis happened in Indonesia and student demanded president Soeharto to step down. Rudy then was appointed to replace Soeharto, but it was not long before people accused him of corruption until he decides not to run for president again. In all that times, Ainun was always there to support him, to be his medicine, to be his shoulder for him to lean and to cry together.

  Happiness returned to their life, but unfortunately the ovarian cancer in ainun appeared again and even more severe. Until the time she couldn’t survive like before. Rudy did everything to save the life the woman he loved the most, but nothing he could do when death came.

 This movie is not only showing the romance between prof. Habibie and his wife, but also showing the political condition of Indonesia at that time. Indonesia also can see how the people in Germany have a great respect to prof. Habibie, while Indonesia appointed him did corruption.

  Although the acting and makeup of Reza rahardian and bunga citra lestari are great, but their body gesture when being old doesn’t fit. They only had old face but the body just like young people. And as Ainun, Bunga citra lestari doesn’t fit for the image of Java oriental woman like ainun.

  Overall, this movie contains a very nice love story. By this movie, we could see that the real true love is not Romeo and Juliet who tragically suicide to keep their love to each other, but Habibie and Ainun who grew old together and separated by destiny of death. This movie is a great movie in the end of 2012, but I think this movie will get more moviegoers if release right on Valentine’s Day.

kata kerja multikata

Phrasal verbs adalah bagian dari kata kerja yang disebut juga dengan istilah multi-word verbs (kata kerja multikata).

Multi-word verbs, termasuk phrasal verbs, adalah hal yang umum dipakai dalam berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Inggris. Umumnya banyak orang menyebut semua multi-word verbs dengan sebutan phrasal verbs. Beberapa contoh phrasal verbs: pick up, turn on, get up, look up, break down, etc.

Phrasal verbs terdiri dari basic verb + another word or words. Kata lain yang menyertai kata kerja dasar bisa berupa preposisi dan/atau adverbia. Gabungan dua atau tiga kata yang menjadi kata kerja multikata (multi-word verbs) disebut frase (phrase). Itulah mengapa kata kerja ini disebut dengan istilah “phrasal verbs”.

Hal penting untuk diperhatikan adalah bahwa phrasal verbs tetaplah disebut kata kerja, misalnya kata “get” dan “get up” adalah sama-sama kata kerja. Tetapi “get” dan “get up” mempunyai arti yang berbeda. Meskipun berbeda arti, phrasal verbs tetap diperlakukan dan dipelajari sebagaimana umumnya kata kerja. Dan masalah yang sering dihadapi adalah ketidakjelasan makna dalam suatu kalimat karena phrasal verbs memiliki beberapa arti yang berbeda.

Phrasal verbs juga dapat berupa intransitive dan transitive.
