Comparison Text

The Degrees of Comparison (tingkat perbandingan) adalah istilah dalam bahasa inggrisyang merupakan tingkat-tingkat perbandingan pada kata sifat. Adapun berdasarkan tingkatannya, The Degrees of Comparison dibagi menjadi 3 golongan:

1.       Positive degree. (Tingkat positif / biasa)

2.       Comparative degree. (Tingkat perbandingan / lebih)

3.       Superlative degree. (Tingkat terbaik/ paling)

Bentuk Comparative dibuat dari bentuk positif yang ditambah dengan akhiran –er atau –r dan awalan more. Sedangkan Bentuk Superlative dibentuk dari bentuk positif yang ditambah dengan akhiran –est atau –st dan awalan most.

Pembentukan Degree of Comparison

Kata Sifat (Adjectives) yang terdiri atas satu suku kata, hanya ditambah dengan akhiran –er dan –est.

Positive	Comparative	Superlative
Cheap	Cheaper	Cheapest
Great	Greater	Greatest
Tall	Taller	Tallest
Late	Later	Latest
Small	Smaller	Smallest
Angry	Angrier	Angriest
Fast	Faster	Fastest
Lucky	Luckier	Luckiest
Fat	Fatter	Fattest
Big	Bigger	Biggest
Old	Older	Oldest

Kebanyakan adjectives hanya ditambahkan -er/-est dalam membentuk adjectives untuk comparative dan superlative degree. Misalkan:

No	Comperative	Supelative
01	Old + -er = Older	Old + -est = Oldest
02	Fast + -er = Faster	Fast + -est = Fastest
03	Cheap + -er = Cheaper	Cheap + -est = Cheapest

Untuk adjectives yang berakhiran huruf hidup (vokal) pembentukan adjectives untuk comperative dan superlative degree hanya ditambahkan -r/st. Misalnya:

No	Comperative	Supelative
01	Wise + -r = Wiser	Wise + -st = Wisest
02	Nice + -r = Nicer	Nice + -st = Nicest

Untuk adjectives yang berkahiran huruf 'Y', pembentukan adjectives untuk comperative dan superlative degree yaitu dengan cara merubah huru 'Y' tersebut menjadi huruf 'I' kemudian ditambahkan -er/-est. Misalnya:

No	Comperative	Supelative
01	Happy = happi + er = Happier	Happy = happi + est = Happiest
02	Busy = busi + er = Busier	Busy = busi + est = Busiest
03	Lucky = lucki + er = Luckier	Lucky = lucki + est = Luckiest

Untuk adjectives yang berakhiran huruf mati (consonant) yang sebelumnya didahului oleh satu huruf hidup (vowel), misalkan fat, big, thin, pembentukan adjectives untuk comperative dan superlative yaitu dengan mengulang huruf akhir adjectives tersebut dan ditambahkan -er/-est. Misalnya:

No	Comperative	Supelative
01	Wet = wett + -er = wetter	Wet = wett + -est = wettest
02	Hot = hott + -er = Hotter	Hot = hott + -est = Hottest
03	Thin = thinn + -er = Thinner	Thin = thinn + -est = Thinnest

Irrigular Comparison

Selain terdapat pengecualian dalam pembentukan one-syllable adjectives untuk comparative dan superlative seperti di atas, anda juga harus memperhatikan apa itu irrigular comparison. Irrigular comparison adalah pembentukan adjectives untuk comperative dan superlative yang tidak mengikuti ketentuan-ketentuan di atas. Misalnya:

Adjectives	Comperative	Suupelative
A few	Less	Least
Much	More	Most
Far	Further/farther	Futhest/farthest
Good	Better	Best
Old	Older/elder	Oldest/eldest

               

2. More than one-syllable adjectives

Adjective dengan lebih dari satu pengucapan adalah kata adjective yang memerlukan dua pengucapan atau lebih untuk mengucapkannya, misalkan kata 'beautiful' memerlukan tiga pengucapan byu-ti-ful, dsb.

Pembentukan comperative dan superlative untuk adjective dengan lebih dari satu pengucapan relatif mudah, yaitu dengan menambahkan kata more/ most di depan kata adjective tersebut. Misalkan:

Adjectives	Comperative	Supelative
Famous	More famous	Most famous
Nervous	More nervous	Most nervous
Charming	More charming	Most charming

           

Setalah memahami pembentukan comperative dan superlative untuk one-syllable dan more than one-syllable adjective di atas, seperti yang penulis janjikan, mari kita simak penjelasan dari tiga jenis Degrees of Comparison.

Older dan oldest digunakan untuk orang dan benda, sedangkan elder dan eldest hanya digunakan untuk orang saja.

Contohnya: She is my elder sister. My truck is older than yours.

Farther dan farthest digunakan untuk menunjukkan jarak saja, sedangkan further dan furthest digunakan untuk menunjukkan jarak dan waktu.

Contohnya: Bali is farther than Maluku. We shall get further information.

Fungsi Positive Degree (Tingkat Positif)

Positive Degree digunakan untuk menyatakan suatu keadaan yang apa adanya.

Contoh: She is a beautiful girl.

Positive Degree digunakan untuk membandingkan dua benda atau orang yang tingkatannyasama, baik sifat, bentuk atau bagian lainnya.

Formulas:

as + positive + as no less + positive + than not more + positive + than

                                                                                                                                    

Contoh:

She is as beautiful as her sister.

(Artinya: Dia secantik saudara perempuannya)

She is no less beautiful than her sister.

(Artinya: Dia sama cantiknya dengan saudara perempuannya)

She is not more beautiful than her sister.

(Artinya: Dia tidak lebih cantik daripada saudara perempuannya = berarti sama cantiknya)

Dan untuk bentuk kalimat negatifnya dapat menggunakan rumus berikut:

not + as + positive + as

Contoh:

She is not as beautiful as her sister

(Artinya: Dia tidak secantik saudara perempuannya)

Fungsi Comparative Degree (Tingkat perbandingan / lebih)

Comparative Degree digunakan untuk membandingkan dua benda atau orang yang berbeda. Atau dengan kata lain digunakan untuk menyatakan bahwa sesuatu benda atau orang itu mempunyai sifat lebih dibandingkan yang lain.

Formula:

Comparative + than

                                                                                                                                  

Contoh:

My house is bigger than his house.

(Artinya: rumah saya lebih besar daripada rumahnya)

RECOUNT TEXT

When I was 3nd grade of senior high school, me and my family went to Bali. We were there for 3 days. I had many impressive experiences during the vacation.

First day, we visited Kuta Beach in the morning. We saw the beautiful sunrise together. It was a great scenery. Then, we checked in to the hotel. After prepared our selves, we went to Tanah Lot. We met so many other tourists there. They were not only domestic but also foreign tourists.

Second day, we enjoyed the day on Sanur beach. We played so many water sports such as banana boat, jetsky, speedboat etc. We also went to Penyu island to see many unique animals. They were turtles and snake. We were very happy. In the afternoon, we went to Kuta Beach again to see the amazing sunset and enjoyed the beautiful wave.

The last day, we spent our time in Sangeh. We could enjoy the green and shady forest. There were so many monkies. They were so tame but sometimes they could be naughty. We could make a close interaction with them. After that, we went to Sukowati market for shopping. That was my lovely time. I bought some Bali T-Shirt and souvenirs.

In the evening, we had to check out from the hotel. We went back home bringing so many amazing memories of Bali.

On this beach there is a park called the Pelataran Bahari (Marine Park), with semicircular area of nearly one hectare. This place is a plaza with a clean floor for children to play and running around, while parents and teens sit on concrete benches to enjoy the sea breeze. From this place, you are also free to view out to the sea and watch the sunset slowly turns reddish in the line of the horizon. The reflected light also creates sheen on the surface of sea water.
