SPORTS AND GAMES

Some people seem to think that sports and games are unimportant things that people do, at times when they
are not working, instead of going to the cinema, listening to the radio or sleeping. But in actual fact, sports and
games can be of great value, especially to people who work with their brains most of the day and should not be
treated only as amusements. (Fungsi Representasional)

Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these
are not their only uses. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis,
our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then
has to decide what to do, and to send its orders to the muscles of the arms, legs and so on, so that the ball is met and
hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed and only those who have had a lot of
practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains
most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful. (Fungsi Representasional)

Sports and games are also very useful for character-training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may
learn about such virtues at unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one’s country; but what is learned in books
cannot have the same deep effect on a child’s character as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day-school
cannot give much practical training in living because most of the pupils’ time is spent in classes, studying lessons.
So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when
they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find
it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit. (Fungsi Representasional)

AMUSEMENTS

A hundred years ago, people were in the habit of making their own amusements. Both sexes read and wrote
far more than their descendants do now: very long books in several parts were the fashion and many people
especially ladies kept diaries, in which they wrote long descriptions of their doings and feelings. Ladies did a lot of
needlework or went for long walks and gentlemen went riding or shooting.

When a group of people were gathered together, they talked, played cards or other games, read aloud to
each other or went out riding, shooting or walking together. Most people could sing a little or play some musical
instrument reasonably well, so at a party the guests amused each other. Above all, conversation was an art. Amusing
conversation could keep people happy for hours.

Nowadays, we are amused by professionals. Why listen to your friends singing when you can hear the great
singers of the world on the gramophone or the radio? Why read even a detective story if you can see one at the
cinema? And why play football with players who are not very good when you can go by train or car to see some of
the best players in your country playing an important match, or if you have a television set, just sit comfortably at
home and watch the game without the trouble of going outside?

The art of conversation and the habit of reading and writing are dying. People are becoming more and more
lookers and listeners and less and less doers and talkers. This can only harm the individual. It is better to do
something not very well oneself than always to sit and watch others doing it, however perfectly.

Conversation 1

Mary: I've just popped in to thank you very much for organizing last weekend's trip to the seaside for the old folk
(Fungsi Interpersonal)

Julia: That's very kind of you. They all seemed to enjoy it. (Fungsi Ideasional)

Mary: They certainly did. Everything went like clockwork, in fact I don't think you could have done it better.
(Fungsi Ideasional)

Julia: I'm not sure about that, there were one or two things that could have been improved. (Fungsi Pragmatic)

Mary: In a perfect world perhaps, but as far as I'm concerned it was a great success. So thank you again. (Fungsi
matetik)

If you say that something happens like clockwork you mean that it happens without any problems or delays, or
happens regularly.(Fungsi matetik)

Conversation 2

Clerk 1: I've just had a terrible hour and a half.

Clerk 2: Why? What happened?
Clerk 1: Well I had a lady customer come in who wanted to buy a pair of shoes. And you know we've got a really
good range.
Clerk 2: We certainly do. Did she buy a pair ?
Clerk 1: No, but she didn't leave before getting me to bring her every single pair we had in the shop. And she
complained about every single one.
Clerk 2: I'd say she was impossible to please.
Conversation 3

Eddie: I'm sorry that the parrot is squawking its head off. (Interaksional)

Denise: What's the matter with it?(Heuristik)

Eddie: Well it's just spotted a cat outside the window and it really doesn't like cats. ( Representasional)

Denise: Do you ever let it out of its cage ?(Heuristik)

Eddie: My father does. It's very attached to him so it perches on his shoulder and behaves itself when he's around.
(Representasional)
Denise: Would you ever let it out?(Heuristik)

Eddie: Oh no, because it's more than likely to give me a nasty nip if I do.(Regulasi)

If you are attached to someone or something, you are very fond of them.(Matetik)

Conversation 5

Gordon I've just been reading through your last project report.
James I hope you didn't find too much wrong with it.
Gordon On the contrary, you've done a fantastic job.
James Well, I'm not sure about that.
Gordon You're too modest. It's really well organized and written and offers some very well thought out conclusions.
James Well, I'm glad you like it and hope it proves useful.

Conversation 6

Danielle: I like your new anorak, it looks really expensive, where did you get it - in that upscale sports shop in the
mall?

Russell: Well thanks, but no I didn't. I got it in the market.

Danielle: How much did you pay for it ?

Russell: Not as much as the man asked for. He wanted $45.

Danielle: That would have been a bit steep, it's almost the shop price.

Russell: I know, but I haggled him down to $25, so I reckon I've got a bit of a bargain.
If you haggle, you argue about something before reaching an agreement, especially about the cost of something that
you are buying.
