Task 1 (Affirmative Agreement)
Direction: supply the correct form of the verb for the simple statement in each of the following sentences. Elaborate your reason.


1        Rose likes to fly, and her brother do too.
2        They will leave at noon, and I will too.
3        Their plane is arriving at nine o’clock, and so is mine.
4        I should go grocery shopping this afternoon, and so should my neighbour.
5        Our English teacher loves to travel, and so do we.

Key for the answers of task 1:
·         affirmative statement (verb be) + and + [subject + verb (be) + too] OR [so + verb (be) + subject]
·         affirmative statement (compound verb) + and + [subject + auxiliary verb + too] OR [so + auxiliary verb + subject]
·         affirmative statement (single verb except be) + and + [subject + do, does, or did + too] OR [so + do, does, or did + subject]


Task 2 (Negative Agreement)
Direction: fill in the blanks with the correct form of either or neither. Elaborate your reason.


1        The children shouldn’t take that medicine, and neither should she.
2        I don’t like plan to attend the concert, and neither do they.
3        The Yankess couldn’t play due to the bad weather, and neither could the Angels.
4        Mary can’t type well, and her sister can’t either
5        They won’t have to work on weekends, and we won’t either

Key for the answers of task 2:
·         Adverbs
When we find them behaving like adverbs, both either and neither become linking words.
·         Determiners
In the case of determiners, either and neither are positioned before the noun.
·         Pronouns
For all those instances when either and neither behave like pronouns, the structure of the sentence would be: either/neither followed by of + noun phrase
·         Conjunction
In all the cases in which we find "either" and "neither" as conjunctions, we also find them combined with "or" and "nor".
either/or - They are used together to offer a choice between two things


Task 3
Direction: identify the one underlined word or phrase that would not be acceptable in standard written English. Elaborate your reason.


1        He isn’t driving to the convention in March, and neither they are.

Neither they are is wrong, it should be corrected to Neither will they because they will not drive it in the future

2        Catherine is studying law at the university, and so does John.

So does John is wrong, it should be corrected to So is John because “John is studying” not “John does studying”

3        Because they have moved away, they hardly never go to the beach anymore.

Hardly never is wrong, it should be corrected to hardly ever because it explains that they very rarely go to the beach.

4        Mary and her sister studied biology last year, and so does Jean.

So does Jean is wrong, it should be corrected to So did Jean because Mary and her sister have already studied it meaning it happened in the past, therefore we use past form of does -> did

5        George has not completed the assignment yet, and Maria hasn’t neither.

Hasn’t neither is wrong, negative agreements can’t be used twice, it is either has neither or hasn’t either. For this sentence the correct one is hasn’t either because the sentences negative expression is at to be

Holiday Trip to Jakarta with Friends

Gambar
It was the end of the 7 th  semester in Gunadarma University, we got really bored and plans for a trip to go to somewhere since the last time we go was 2 years ago (to Malang). So we decided to go to a place that is famous in North Jakarta, not Ancol, but  Pantai Indah Kapuk  short for PIK. My friends who came along the trip was Anastasia, Husnul, Bowo, Jodi, and Wiby. Everyone except for Bowo and I are all from Depok, so they depart together from Pondok Cina Station, since I live in South of Jakarta my friends told me to wait at the gathering point where it was close for Bowo (who drove a car from Bekasi) at Menteng station. Arrived in Menteng Station, after tirelessly searching for them where I have to go around the station to find them, We all finally met. Then we wait for Bowo to pick us up, although he arrived at the wrong side of the road and we are too tired and lazy to cross the road since it is a very big and dense traffic road. So Bowo has to turn aroun...

Kasus Cambridge Analytica, Facebook Data Breach

Gambar
MASALAH PRIVASI FACEBOOK meningkat tajam pada hari Jumat ketika jaringan sosial mengungkapkan bahwa masalah keamanan yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya, ditemukan pada tanggal 25 September, berdampak pada hampir 50 juta akun pengguna. Tidak seperti skandal Cambridge Analytica, di mana perusahaan pihak ketiga secara keliru mengakses data yang telah disedot oleh aplikasi kuis yang sah, kerentanan ini memungkinkan penyerang untuk langsung mengambil alih akun pengguna. Bug yang mengaktifkan serangan sejak itu telah ditambal, menurut Facebook. Perusahaan mengatakan bahwa penyerang dapat melihat segala sesuatu di profil korban, meskipun masih belum jelas apakah itu termasuk pesan pribadi atau jika ada data yang disalahgunakan. Sebagai bagian dari perbaikan itu, Facebook secara otomatis mengeluarkan 90 juta pengguna Facebook dari akun mereka pada hari Jumat pagi, terhitung untuk 50 juta yang diketahui Facebook terkena dampaknya, dan tambahan 40 juta yang berpotensi bisa terjadi.
