Meg and Dia - Agree To Disagree

by : meg and dia
Album : Here, here and here

Agree to Disagree

Your house, the coffee tastes like dirt
Not because I'm hurt, that's just what it tastes like
Dirt roads, remind me of my skin
Not because I'm wasting away
With the gravel you grounded, that's what it feels like

I won't be sorry, won't go moping around
In fact I'm doing quite well for now

Let's talk about giving up, that sounds so bitter sweet
Think I'll throw in the towel right now
I'll lay low on the ground and I'll be on my feet
When I can breathe, when I'm good and ready

This tree, lovers heart engraved
Not because I'm lonely, just because I hate it
Sunshine lives underneath my nose
Not because I'm burning all my hopes
Scorching all my favors, far as I can turn

And I'm not bitter, I'm not mouthing out words
Look at my face, believe me now

Let's talk about giving up, that sounds so bitter sweet
Think I'll throw in the towel right now
I'll lay low on the ground and I'll be on my feet
When I can breathe, when I'm good and ready

Let's talk about giving up, that sounds so bitter sweet
Think I'll throw in the towel right now
I'll lay low on the ground and I'll be on my feet
When I can breathe, when I'm good and ready

Sekilas liriknya terlihat ringan, mudah di cerna dan teenage sekali. Di album Here, here and here komposisi musik Meg and dia mengalami perubahan yg signifikan. Kali ini sedikit mencampurkan unsur-unsur country pada ketukan drum dan nuansa gitar. Isi vokal dari Dia juga sudah mulai memperlihatkan karakternya dan bisa mengalir sendiri sesuai dengan irama musiknya. Perubahan yg mencolok telihat pada nada-nada dan setting gitar sang gitaris Meg yang juga sebagai backing Vokal dibanding dengan album sebelumnya.
Nuansa country yang lebih kental ada di lagu ini ( Agree to disagree). Album Here, here and here cocok sekali di dengarkan didalam mobil yang melaju dengan kecepatan 50/60 km menuju area pedesaan yang nyaman dan tentram. Penyajian dan komposisi musik yg easy listening dan ringan, namun sebenarnya secara musikalitas cukup rumit membuat saya mengacungkan jempol untuk band yang satu ini. Dan memilihnya sebagai musik tema liburan saya kali ini.
:D

The differences between Oral and Written Communication

Writing is a fairly static form of transfer
Speaking is dynamic transfer of information.

1. Written Communication
It can be chosen with greater deliberation and thought, and the argument can be extraordinarily, sophisticated, intricate and lengthy.

Written communication always uses formal language.

In written communication the writer should choose the best and suitable words to give an expression. It is quite different with the oral communication.



2. Oral Communication
Oral communication comes only with a great deal preparation and compression.
When we use oral communication, we can’t retract what we have spoken.

Oral communication can be significantly more effective in expressing meaning to an audience. The extensive repertoire of signals available to the speaker: gesture, intonation, inflection, volume, pitch, pauses, movement, visual cues, such as appearance and a whole host of other ways to communicate meaning.

Speaker should avoid focusing on single individual within an audience. The single most important bit of evident about the audience’s attention however is eye contact. If members of audience will look back at you when you’re speaking then you have their attention, if they look away, then your contact with the audience is probably fading.

Speaker must exercise tightly and disciplined control over content.

Oral communication uses word with fewer syllables than the written language, the sentences are shorter and self referencing pronounce such us “I” are common.

Conclusion:

The upshot of these differences is that one should not think about speeches as oral presentation of a written text. Speeches are genuinely different from written pose, and one should not use the logic of writing as a basis for writing a speech.

SUMMARY of “The Box of Robbers” short story

SUMMARY of “The Box of Robbers”

Nobody wanted to leave Martha purposely in that afternoon, but unfortunately they leave her alone with some reasons. While anyone left her alone, she did her own activities and wanted to “Play Visiting” with her favorite dolls at the last. Then she remembered that there was a doll’s play house which hadn’t been used for a long time in the attic. She decided to take it. Well it seems the doll’s play house had been moved. But after looking all over the attic, finally she found it away over in a corner near the big chimney. Suddenly something attracted her; it was a huge chest belonged to her uncle which had been sent over from Italy a long time ago. She was quite curious with the chest. Then she remembered that there’s no key for it, because her uncle wanted it unopened until he went back home. Martha knew that her uncle would never back to home, so she tried to open it. She took a big basket of keys and tried the keys one by one to the chest, and finally she could open it. She was very happy, but it was just for a while. Something freak and strange came up from the chest. That was a tall and thin man. Then, another man with a middle size came up, and the last man was short and fat. All of them were in a bad tanned face, and dressed in curious manner. It made her shock. She asked who they were. The three man greeted her, then introduced themselves that they were Italian bandits and terrible. While in a conversation, Martha spoke thoughtlessly and the three men threaten her. Martha told them that they were no longer as bandits, because they were in America. The three man shocked and bewildered by the announcement. They thought for a while whether they could rob or not in that country. Martha suggested some jobs to them, but unfortunately, they ignored it. It was surprising when one of them decided to begin robbing the house they were in.They were completed with pistols and knives, left Martha in trembling and started to rob the house. Just in a short span of time, all the men went back to the attic, with some things in their hands. They said that they needed a cave to save the things, and asked if there was a cave near there. Martha said that it was too far from her house. While they were talking, suddenly the bell rang. Martha saw it was only a postman, but suddenly he got an idea to deceive the three men by saying that it was police and they were all armed well. The three men were hopeless knowing that they could not pass it anyway. While they were all confused, Martha said that she could save them by asking them to go back into the chest. She said she would close it, so the police wouldn’t find them. All the men trusted her, and go back into the chest. Martha closed the lid and pressed it down with her weight, and finally locked it with key.

Paraphrase

Here is the example of Paraphrase


Original Simple text:

Some claim the number of Sumatran elephants remaining in the wild is around 1,500, while the more conservative believe 1,000 is more likely. A further 9000 or so are found in Sumatra’s elephant camps; once known as elephant training centers, the camps are now called elephant conservation centers and are designed to save the species.



Paraphrase:

The amounts of the rest Sumatran elephants which are about 1,500 in the wild are claimed by people, while some of them believe that it is just 1000. More than 9000 and even more are found in Sumatra’s elephant camps; which is called as elephant training centers and now have been popularized as elephant conservation centers and are build to save the species.
