Kansai International Airport (KIX) in Japan is the world’s first international airport built on a man-made island, 5km off the Senshu coast at Osaka Bay.
Its terminal, a beautiful, modern four story structure, is the longest in the world (1,7km) and was designed by the prominent Italian architect Renzo Piano.
Indeed, even first-time passengers feel the comfort and the convenience of KIX in terms of the procedures and flow that need to be followed, from the time one disembarks up to picking luggage. International arrivals sort out immigration matters and baggage on the first floor, while international departures take place on the third floor after one is ticketed on the fourth floor. A 24-Hour Airport Lounge, Business Center, VIP and Conference Rooms and, of course, Duty Free shops offering branded goods at attractive prices are readily available. If you happen to be traveling with your pet, you can always have it kept at the Pet Hotel, the first ever in Japan.

Latihan Soal Incomplete Dialog Bentuk Modal "Will" Bahasa Inggris Kelas 8 SMP

Latihan Soal Incomplete Dialog Bentuk Modal "Will" Bahasa Inggris Kelas 8 SMP

Comment
Melengkapi post lalu yaitu tentang penggunaan bentuk modal "Can", pada post ini akan kita bahas mengenai penggunaan bentuk modal "Will". Post memang saya buat terpisah agar lebih mudah untuk memahami penerapan keduanya baik bentuk modal Will maupun modal Can.

Latihan Soal Penggunaan Modal Can Bahasa Inggris Kelas 8 SMP

Bentuk modal "will" menunjukkan bentuk aktifitas di masa akan datang (future activity) . Menyatakan bentuk aktifitas di masa akan datang, maka kita harus memahami bentuk ekspresi yang digunakan yaitu bentuk 'will' dan bentuk 'be going to'.


Berikut sedikit penjelasan mengenai perbedaan kedua bentuk tersebut sebelum berranjak ke dalam latihan soal tentang "future activity".

#1. Keduanya baik "will" maupun "be going to" menyatakan aktifitas yang akan datang.

will : digunakan ketika kita ingin melakukan sesuatu tanpa suatu perencanaan sebelumnya. Biasanya bersifat spontanitas.
Contoh :

Helen : My laptop has broken. It seems too many programs I've installed. Can you repair it to me?
Father : Okay, but I can't do it now. I'll repair it tomorrow.


Be going to : digunakan ketika kita sudah siap  memutuskan untuk melakukan sesuatu .
Contoh : 

Dinda : Can you repair Helen's laptop? It has got a computer virus.
Bams : Yes, I know. She told me. I'm going to repair it tomorrow.

*** Bams sudah merencanakan untuk memperbaiki laptopnya Helen sebelumnya.

#2. Prediksi kejadian di masa akan datang
Keduanya mengatakan apa yang akan terjadi (prediksi tentang apa yang terjadi di masa akan datang)
Contoh : 
  • Do you think Tom will get  the first rank?
  • Oh dear, It's already 4 o'clock. We're going to be late.

Going to : Menyatakan situasi dimana sesuatu memang nyata akan terjadi.
Contoh :
  • Look at those black clouds. It's going to rain ( awan yang dilihat menunjukkan akan terjadinya hujan)
  • I feel terrible. I think I'm going to be sick. (saya merasa tidak enak badan sekarang)
NB :
Kita juga biasanya menggunakan bentuk present continuous untuk menyatakan kejadian yang sudah disusun atau direncanakan sebelumnya.
Contoh :
  • What time are you meeting Ann? (atau Are you going to meet?)
  • I'm traveling to Scotland on Monday (atau I'm going to travel)

Dalam soal incomplete dialog, soal yang menunjukkan bentuk future activity biasanya dilihat berdasarkan kata kunci (keyword) penggunaan kata atau phrase "will" dan "be going to" pada konteks percakapan yang terjadi. 

Oke, langsung saja berikut latihan soalnya.
