#13 Speaking Part 2 : Describe a short trip that you often take but you do not like
When you go there
Why you go there
And explain what you do not like this trip
Well, I am going to talk about an annual short trip that I have to take while I really hate it actually. So, it is a business trip. As a matter of fact, my office has an important client that lives in Bandung. So, I have to go to Bandung in order to meet our client.
Usually, during our meetings we would discuss about our plan especially what research that we want to conduct in a year. I could say that, the main reason why I hate this trip so much because I hate the traffic jam. I think Jakarta people know very well , every time we will go to Bandung, we will stuck in a heavy traffic jam because there are a plethora of people from Jakarta that want to visit and spend their weekend in Bandung. So, it is quite common for me to spend for about 1-5 hours during my trip because I will stuck in this heavy traffic jam.
However, I love Bandung city so much because Bandung city is not as hot as Jakarta. And actually, the living cost there is quite affordable if I compare it with Jakarta.
My self-correction :
- Ingat yaa ! Kolokasi kata kerja yang natural dengan kata benda "trip" adalah take, make. Bukan do !
- we would discuss about our plan. Nah ini sama kayak kata kerja share. Pada umumnya tidak diikuti preposisi about tapi langsung saja ke kata bendanya. Contoh : I'm not prepared to discuss this on the phone. | I'd like to discuss this matter with you later
- we will stuck in a heavy traffic jam. WKWKWK ini sama kesalahan nomor 4.
- I will stuck in this heavy traffic jam. Jadi....kesalahannya adalah stuck itu ya kata kerja, tapi bentuk dari kata kerja past participle STICK ! WKWKWKW. Jadi konteks yang disini lebih cocok adalah stuck sebagai artian adjective. Berdasarkan kamus Cambridge : stuck [adjective] : in a difficult situation, or unable to change or get away from a situation. Contoh kalimat : I hate being stuck behind a desk
