Robots

The word robot comes from the Czech word Robota which means labour or
work. A robot is known as a machine that does the work of a human being.

Robots are usually used to do repetitive work which requires high

precision. For instance, robots are used to produce cars. Later, robots may also
perform surgical operations on humans. A computer could direct the procedure
with excellent precision. Meanwhile, human surgeons could control the
progress by monitoring the operation on a large video screen.

Soon, robots may also do household chores, such as sweeping and

mopping. Robots may also be designed to do dangerous jobs like cleaning the
site of a nuclear accident.

Terjemahannya:

Robot

Kata robot berasal dari bahasa Czech kata Robota yang artinya tenaga kerja
atau kerja. Robot dikenal sebagai mesin yang melakukan pekerjaan manusia.

Robot biasanya digunakan untuk melakukan pekerjaan berulang yang

membutuhkan ketelitian tinggi. Misalnya, robot digunakan untuk
memproduksi mobil. Nantinya, robot juga dapat melakukan operasi
pembedahan pada manusia. Komputer dapat mengarahkan prosedur dengan
presisi yang sangat baik. Sementara itu, ahli bedah manusia dapat mengontrol
kemajuan dengan memantau operasi di layar video besar.

Segera, robot juga dapat melakukan pekerjaan rumah tangga, seperti menyapu
dan mengepel. Robot juga dapat dirancang untuk melakukan pekerjaan
berbahaya seperti membersihkan lokasi kecelakaan nuklir.

Grasshopper

Grasshoppers are insects. People also call them short-horned grasshopper

because they do not have any nose. We can find about 10,000 different species
in many different parts of the world.

Like most insects, they lay eggs. Once the eggs hatch, they change into
nymphs. They look like little adults, but don't have any wings and reproductive
organs. The outer layer of their body will get harder when they grow older.
Grasshoppers' colours are mostly green, brown, or olive-green.

A grasshopper's body is covered by a hard exoskeleton. It consists of the

head, thorax, and abdomen. Grasshoppers have a series of holes located along
the side of the body. They are called spiracles. Spiracles help grasshoppers to
breathe.

Grasshoppers are able to hop, walk, and fly. They hop with their long hind
legs. They use their short front legs to grasp their prey and to walk. When
grasshoppers rub their back legs together, they will make noise.

Grasshoppers eat plants. In the ecosystem, their predators include birds,

insects, and reptiles. Grasshoppers' eggs are also eaten by some flies.

Terjemahannya:

Belalang

Belalang adalah serangga. Orang juga menyebut mereka belalang tanduk

pendek karena tidak memiliki hidung. Kita dapat menemukan sekitar 10.000
spesies berbeda di berbagai belahan dunia.

Seperti kebanyakan serangga, mereka bertelur. Setelah telur menetas, mereka

berubah menjadi nimfa. Mereka terlihat seperti orang dewasa kecil, tetapi
tidak memiliki sayap dan organ reproduksi. Lapisan luar tubuh mereka akan
semakin keras saat mereka bertambah tua. Warna belalang kebanyakan hijau,
coklat, atau hijau zaitun.

Tubuh belalang ditutupi oleh kerangka luar yang keras. Terdiri dari kepala,
dada, dan perut. Belalang memiliki sederet lubang yang terletak di sepanjang
sisi tubuh. Mereka disebut spirakel. Spirakel membantu belalang bernafas.
Belalang bisa melompat, berjalan, dan terbang. Mereka melompat dengan kaki
belakangnya yang panjang. Mereka menggunakan kaki depan yang pendek
untuk menangkap mangsanya dan berjalan. Saat belalang menggosok kaki
belakangnya, mereka akan membuat suara.

Belalang memakan tumbuhan. Dalam ekosistem, predatornya termasuk

burung, serangga, dan reptil. Telur belalang juga dimakan oleh beberapa lalat.

Landmark

Landmark is a recognizable natural or artificial feature used for navigation. This

feature usually stands out from its near environment and is often visible from
long distances. In modern use, the term “landmark” can also be applied to
smaller structures or features becoming local or national symbols.

Landmarks are usually classified into both natural landmarks and man-
made landmarks. Natural landmarks can be characteristic features, such as
mountains or plateaus. Examples of natural landmarks are Table Mountain in
South Africa, Uluru in Australia, and Mount Fuji in Japan. Trees might also serve
as local landmarks. Some landmark trees may be nicknamed, examples being
Queen’s Oak, Hanging Oak or Centennial Tree.

In modern sense, landmarks are usually referred to monuments or

distinctive buildings, used as the symbol of a certain area such as the Statue of
Liberty in New York City, Eiffel tower in Paris, Big Ben in London, etc.

Church spires and mosque’s minarets are often very tall and visible from many
miles around. Thus, these various buildings often serve as man-made
landmarks.

Terjemahannya:

Landmark

Landmark adalah fitur alami atau buatan yang dapat dikenali yang digunakan
untuk navigasi. Fitur ini biasanya menonjol dari lingkungan dekatnya dan sering
terlihat dari jarak jauh. Dalam penggunaan modern, istilah "tengara" juga
dapat diterapkan pada bangunan atau fitur yang lebih kecil yang menjadi
simbol lokal atau nasional.

Landmark biasanya diklasifikasikan menjadi landmark alam dan landmark

buatan manusia. Landmark alam dapat berupa ciri khas, seperti pegunungan
atau dataran tinggi. Contoh landmark alam adalah Gunung Meja di Afrika
Selatan, Uluru di Australia, dan Gunung Fuji di Jepang. Pohon mungkin juga
berfungsi sebagai landmark lokal. Beberapa pohon tengara dapat diberi
julukan, contohnya adalah Queen's Oak, Hanging Oak atau Centennial Tree.

Dalam pengertian modern, landmark biasanya disebut monumen atau

bangunan khas, digunakan sebagai lambang suatu daerah tertentu seperti
Patung Liberty di New York City, menara Eiffel di Paris, Big Ben di London, dll.

Menara gereja dan menara masjid seringkali sangat tinggi dan terlihat dari
jarak bermil-mil. Karenanya, berbagai bangunan ini sering dijadikan landmark
buatan manusia.
