DRAWING CONCLUSION

DRAWING CONCLUSION IS A FORM OR CRITICAL THINKING. IT RELATING AND BASED WHAT YOU SEE, HEAR AND READ WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW.

See+Read+What you already know= drawing conclusion

Making Inferences and Drawing Conclusions

Read with purpose and meaning

Drawing conclusions refers to information that is implied or inferred. This means that the information is never clearly stated.
Writers often tell you more than they say directly. They give you hints or clues that help you "read between the lines." Using these clues to give you a deeper understanding of your reading is called inferring. When you infer, you go beyond the surface details to see other meanings that the details suggest or imply (not stated). When the meanings of words are not stated clearly in the context of the text, they may be implied - that is, suggested or hinted at. When meanings are implied, you may infer them.
Inference is just a big word that means a conclusion or judgement. If you infer that something has happened, you do not see, hear, feel, smell, or taste the actual event. But from what you know, it makes sense to think that it has happened. You make inferences everyday. Most of the time you do so without thinking about it. Suppose you are sitting in your car stopped at a red signal light. You hear screeching tires, then a loud crash and breaking glass. You see nothing, but you infer that there has been a car accident. We all know the sounds of screeching tires and a crash. We know that these sounds almost always mean a car accident. But there could be some other reason, and therefore another explanation, for the sounds. Perhaps it was not an accident involving two moving vehicles. Maybe an angry driver rammed a parked car. Or maybe someone played the sound of a car crash from a recording. Making inferences means choosing the most likely explanation from the facts at hand.
There are several ways to help you draw conclusions from what an author may be implying. The following are descriptions of the various ways to aid you in reaching a conclusion.

Example:

in cinema people fell sad and tear 



so we can drawing conclusion that movie in that cinema is sad

GRAMMAR:
PRESENT PERFECT TENS & PAST PERFECT TENS

Present Perfect





FORM

[has/have + past participle]
Examples:
  • You have seen that movie many times.
  • Have you seen that movie many times?
  • You have not seen that movie many times.

USE 1 Unspecified Time Before Now


We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time before now. The exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with specific time expressions such as: yesterday, one year ago, last week, when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, at that moment, that day, one day, etc. We CAN use the Present Perfect with unspecific expressions such as: ever, never, once, many times, several times, before, so far, already, yet, etc.
Examples:

  •  I have seen that movie twenty times.
  • I think I have met him once before.
  • There have been many earthquakes in California.
  • People have traveled to the Moon.
  • People have not traveled to Mars.
  • Have you read the book yet?
  • Nobody has ever climbed that mountain.
  • A: Has there ever been a war in the United States?
    B: Yes, there has been a war in the United States?

Past Perfect





FORM

Examples:
  • You had studied English before you moved to New York.
  • Had you studied English before you moved to New York?
  • You had not studied English before you moved to New York.

USE 1 Completed Action Before Something in the Past

The Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past. It can also show that something happened before a specific time in the past.
Examples:
  • had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went to Kauai.
  • I did not have any money because I had lost my wallet.
  • Tony knew Istanbul so well because he had visited the city several times.
  • Had Susan ever studied Thai before she moved to Thailand?
  • She only understood the movie because she had read the book.
  • Kristine had never been to an opera before last night.
  • We were not able to get a hotel room because we had not booked in advance.
  • A: Had you ever visited the U.S. before your trip in 2006?
    B: Yes, I had been to the U.S. once before.

PRESENT PERFECT TENS

Our lesson today is about the present perfect tense is a rather important tense in English, but it gives speakers of some languages a difficult time. That is because it uses concepts or ideas that do not exist in those languages. In fact, the structure of the present perfect tense is very simple. The problems come with the use of the tense. In addition, there are some differences in usage between British and American English. The present perfect tens is used to show past action which occur before another past action.

Example: The club had prepared the report before the members left for the seminar.
                   After the president had read the report, the secretary came to meat him.

Clue to easy remember:

had+past participle of the verbs

CONJUNCTION 

Our lesson today about a topic in grammar there is conjunction. Conjunction are use to link words, phrases, clauses or sentence. Each conjunction has a different function. A conjunction can sometimes have more than one function. There are three type of conjunction:
  • Coordinating Conjunction
  • Correlative Conjunction
  • Subordinating Conjunction

1) Coordinating Conjunction


Coordinating conjunctions, also called coordinators, are conjunctions that join two or more items of equal syntactic importance, such as words, main clauses, or sentences. In English the mnemonic acronym FANBOYS can be used to remember the coordinators forandnorbutoryet, and so.These are not the only coordinating conjunctions; various others are used, including nor" (British), "but nor" (British), "or nor" (British), "neither" ("They neither gamble nor smoke"), "no more" ("They gamble and smoke no more"), and "only" ("Can we perform? Only if we practise").
Here are the meanings and some examples of coordinating conjunctions in English:
  • for: presents a reason ("He is gambling with his health, for he has been smoking far too long.") (though "for" is more commonly used as a preposition)
  • and: presents non-contrasting item(s) or idea(s) ("They gamble, and they smoke.")
  • nor: presents a non-contrasting negative idea ("They don't gamble nor smoke.")
  • but: presents a contrast or exception ("They gamble, but they don't smoke.")
  • or: presents an alternative item or idea ("Every day they gamble or they smoke.")
  • yet: presents a contrast or exception ("They gamble, yet they don't smoke.")
  • so: presents a consequence ("He gambled well last night, so he smoked a cigar to celebrate.")



2) Correlative Conjunction

Correlative conjunctions are pairs of conjunctions that work together to coordinate two items. English examples include both…and[n]either…[n]or, and not [only]…but [also]whether... or.
Examples:
  • Either do your work or prepare for a trip to the office.
  • Not only is he handsome but he is also brilliant.
  • Neither the basketball team nor the football team is doing well.
  • Both the cross country team and the swimming team are doing well.
  • Whether you stay or go is your decision


3) Subordinating Conjunction


  • because
  • as
  • since
  • so
  • therefore
  • as a result
Function of subordinating conjunction is to express cause and effect

example: The area is flooded because the drains are clogged.
