A. Grammatical Equivalence

Summary

1. In translating from SL into TL, you must take into consideration the grammatical equivalence between the two languages.

2. When there are similarities between the SL and TL grammatical patterns, translation would be easy. However, when differences occur, translation could be difficult. The problem gets even more when you translate Indonesian sentences or texts into English.

Test A

Translate into English the following phrases or sentences.

1. Lima anak belasan tahun yang sukar dikontrol

2. Hubungan cinta yang tiada habis-habisnya

3. Karena patah hati, Jimmy melarikan mobil balapnya dengan kecepatan tinggi dan menabrak tiang listrik.

4. Setelah kematian suaminya, Nyonya Smith sedih sekali dan tidak tahu apa yang harus dikerjakannya.

5. Ia tidak pergi lagi, tatapi dulunya ia pergi dua kali seminggu.

B. Grammatical Adjustments

Summary

1. There is not always one to one relationship among two different languages. Thus, grammatical adjustments should be made if translation is desired to be acceptable, reasonable, and readable.

2. If there are more similarities in some of the language components, facilitation in translation will be available; however, when differences are abundant, you are forced to make necessary adjustments.

3. Some grammatical points worth considering in translation from English into Indonesian are: attributives, participles (present and past), gerund, tense markers, auxiliaries and modals, conditional sentences, verbs of wishing, order within clauses, ellipsis, and transformation into kernel sentences.

Usahaku Untuk Mendapatkan Uang

Oleh Dimas Taufik Akbar (10.212.0188)

Nama saya Dimas Taufik Akbar. Saya mahasiswa semester lima di Universitas Muhammadiyah Purworejo. Saya sering dipanggil Mas alias Dimas di keluarga saya. Walaupun mereka orangtua saya dan orang yang lebih tua dari saya, mereka memanggil saya dengan sebutan Mas. Saya punya empat saudara. Kebetulan saya yang tertua dan terganteng, karena semua saudara saya perempuan. Walaupun saya anak laki-laki satu-satunya, saya tidak ingin menjadi anak emas. Saya selalu berusaha hidup mandiri dan bekerja keras membantu kedua orangtua, khususnya untuk membiayai kuliah saya sendiri.

Saat saya masuk kuliah untuk pertama kalinya, saya belum merasakan biaya kuliah yang begitu besar. Tetapi, setelah semester dua, baru terasa, bahwa pengeluaran untuk biaya kuliah dan transport begitu besar. Saya berpikir, jika saya hanya membantu orangtua saja, saya tidak mungkin dapat melanjutkan kuliah, karena orangtua saya membutuhkan biaya untuk membiayai ketiga adik saya. Saya berpikir mendalam, dan mulai berusaha merintis usaha yang dapat saya gunakan untuk biaya kuliah sendiri tanpa merepotkan orang lain.

Akhirnya, pada akhir semester dua, saya merintis usaha di bidang pertanian walupun itu bukan bidang saya di dalam perkuliahan. Alasan saya merintis usaha di bidang pertanian adalah karena orang-orang di lingkungan sekitar saya tinggal kebanyakan bekerja di bidang pertanian. Dan, saya memilih pembibitan tanaman yang belum ada di sekitar tempat tinggal saya. Akhirnya, pembibitan papaya kalifornia yang saya pilih. Di awal usaha saya ini, tak seorang pun membeli benih papaya kalifornia saya. Sudah satu bulan benih papaya saya produksi, tetapi tak seorang pun yang mau membelinya. Bahkan tak seorang pun yang mau menanamnya, walaupun gratis. Padahal, bibit yang saya produksi lumayan banyak, 1.500 biji.

Dan, akhirnya, bibit yang saya produksi saya tanam sendiri meski dengan modal yang sangat minim. Tetapi, lahan yang saya sewa hanya muat 1.200 biji, masih tersisa 300 biji. Kemudian aku ke sana ke mari mencari orang yang mau menanam bibit yang masih tersisa. Akhirnya, ada seorang kerabat ayah saya yang mau menanamnya. Selang enam bulan lamanya, tibalah masa panen papaya yang saya tanam. Saya tidak lupa mengucap syukur pada Allah SWT, karena usaha yang saya perjuangkan dengan segenap tenaga demi kelangsungan kuliah saya tidak sia-sia. Hasil pertama dapat membuahkan 50 kilogram papaya dengan harga yang lumayan. Minggu kedua menghasilkan 250 kilogram papaya. Dan, dalam minggu keenam, saya menghasilkan 2 ton papaya.

Setelah dua bulan lamanya saya memanen papaya, banyak orang, yang pada awalnya tidak mau menanamnya karena takut tidak laku, datang dan bertanya tentang hasil yang saya peroleh dari papaya yang saya tanam.

Pada awal semester tiga, setelah mendengar dan melihat hasil-hasil yang saya peroleh, mulai banyak orang di sekitar saya memesan benih papaya kalifornia yang saya produksi. Dan, saya mendapat pesanan benih dari orang-orang di sekitar saya dengan total pesanan 5.000 biji. Demi untuk lebih memberi keyakinan kepada konsumen yang membeli benih papaya, saya membuat aturan: 1. Bagi yang akan menanam benih papaya, membayarnya tidak langsung (tidak cash), dan 2. Saya berjanji akan membeli buah papaya yang mereka hasilkan. Setelah enam bulan lamanya, sampailah pada masa panen. Dan, saya konsekuen dengan janji saya kepada para konsumen, yaitu membeli buah papaya yang mereka hasilkan.

Saya merasa bersyukur, usaha yang pada awalnya hanya pembibitan, sekarang juga bergerak di bidang perdagangan. Mungkin cukup di sini cerita yang bisa saya berikan. Semoga dapat bermanfaat bagi kita semua. Apabila ada banyak kekurangan ataupun kesalahan, saya meminta maaf yang sebesar-besarnya, karena pada hakekatnya manusia tidak ada yang sempurna. Dan, dalam suatu usaha, janganlah engkau menyerah, sertailah dengan doa demi untuk mencapai tujuan yang maksimal.

Tradisi Unik di Desaku

By Nuryaningsih Kusmaresti (10.212.0202)

Daerah kalian tentu mempunyai tradisi yang unik. Setiap daerah pasti mempunyai tradisi. Karena dari tradisi tersebut menunjukkan ciri khas atau keunikan dari suatu daerah. Tradisi dapat berupa suatu kegiatan unik yang dilakukan setiap minggu, bulan, tahun oleh suatu daerah tertentu. Tradisi unik di daerahku adalah acara yang diperingati setiap satu tahun sekali, tepatnya pada saat hari lebaran.

Nuryaningsih Kusmaresti adalah nama lengkapku. Teman-teman biasa memanggilku Resti. Sekarang aku mahasiswa Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris semester 5 di Universitas Muhammadiyah Purworejo. Aku berasal dari Desa Tlogopragoto, Kecamatan Mirit, Kabupaten Kebumen, Jawa Tengah. Di daerah tempat tinggalku ada sebuah tradisi unik yang diperingati setiap setahun sekali, tepatnya pada saat Lebaran. Orang-orang di daerahku menyebut hari-hari lebaran Grebegan. Menjadi tradisi daerahku kalau Grebegan itu berlangsung seminggu. Sudah dua puluh tahun aku tinggal di sini, tapi aku tidak tahu asal usul mengapa harus seperti itu. Setiap kali aku tanya kepada keluargaku maupun orang-orang di daerahku mereka hanya menjawab: ini sudah tradisi turun temurun.

Hari pertama Lebaran, Hari Lebaran, merupakan hari besar umat Islam, hari-hari yang penuh dengan ampunan. Kita semua para Muslim melakukan shalat Iedul Fitri di masjid daerah kita masing-masing. Hari Lebaran merupakan hari besar umat Islam, hari-hari yang penuh dengan ampunan. Setelah melakukan shalat Iedul Fitri, kami melakukan silaturahmi, saling bermaaf-maafan antarsesama umat Muslim. Dilanjutkan di rumah dengan orangtua dan keluarga, kemudian dengan tatangga-tetangga untuk mempererat persaudaraan kami. Hari Lebaran ini juga merupakan hari “kenikmatan” setelah sebulan menjalankan ibadah puasa. Setiap rumah menyediakan aneka macam kue Lebaran, snack-snack dengan aneka macam rasa, warna dan bentuk; minuman-minuman segar dengan aneka rasa. Kadang juga banyak yang menyediakan angpau juga, tapi biasanya disediakan untuk anak-anak. Katanya aku sudah gede, jadi tidak dapat jatah. Makin gede kan makin gede juga angpaunya ya?

Pada hari kedua Lebaran, orang-orang di daerahku biasanya sibuk silaturahmi ke tempat saudara yang rumahnya jauh, luar daerah, luar kota, bahkan ada yang luar provinsi. Hari ketiga inilah yang unik. Pada hari ketiga inilah yang unik. Pada hari ini semua orang di daerahku pagipagi berduyun-duyun pergi ke pantai. Mengapa di pantai? Mandi apa mancing? Keduanya salah, kami di pantai hanya untuk makan. Orang-orang di daerah tempat saya tinggal, tradisinya: saat lebaran ke pantai dengan membawa nasi Rasul (nasi asin yang dibuat seperti gunung) dengan sayur mie, tempe dan kubis serta ingkung (seekor ayam yang direbus dan diasini) serta ada juga jajan pasar (suatu makanan atau buah yang dibeli di pasar) seperti ketimun, pisang, kacang asin, kerupuk, dll. Biasanya satu keluarga membawa satu paket nasi Rasul. Kami makan apa yang kami bawa tadi. Bagi yang tidak membawa, nantinya juga dikasih juga. Enak rasanya makan di pantai bersama keluarga dan saudara-saudara sekampung

Pada hari keempat kami pergi ke dekat pantai untuk melihat pacuan kuda. Tiket masuknya bagi yang nonton sambil duduk Rp 10.000,00, berdiri Rp 8.000,00. Ini merupakan pertunjukan yang sangat menarik. Kuda-kuda yang mengikuti pacuan adalah kuda-kuda pilihan. Kuda-kuda berasal dari seperti Cilacap, Magelang, Yogyakarta, Pangandaran, Semarang, dll. Pada hari kelima dan keenam tidak ada kegiatan yang menarik. Pada hari ketujuh, inilah acara puncak yang menjadi serangkaian acara Lebaran di daerahku, yaitu Syawalan.

Syawalan adalah pergi ke Pantai Rowo, salah satu nama desa di kabupaten Kebumen. Pantainya yang indah nan elok dengan dikelilingi pohon cemara dan bakau serta sungai yang menghubungkan pantai dengan pasir hitamnya dengan perahu-perahu nelayan yang membawa para pengunjung menikmati indahnya panorama pantai. Acara dilanjutkan pada malam harinya, kami tidak merasa lelah. Di pasar malam tersedia aneka permainan anak-anak dan aneka pameran, seperti baju, sepatu, peralatan rumah tangga, elektronik, makanan, minuman, dll.

Inilah tradisi unik di daerahku, walaupun capek tapi aku sangat puas mengikuti serangkaian acara tersebut, rasanya ada yang kurang kalau tidak mengikuti satu rangkaian acara Lebaran di daerahku. Aku sangat bangga menjadi gadis yang terlahir di sebuah desa yang mempunyai segudang tradisi unik.

Hujan Abu Oleh Dwi Nur Hidayah (092120118)	The Dust Rain By Dwi Nur Hidayah (092120118)
Kalian masih ingat ketika erupsi Merapi terjadi pada tanggal 4 Nopember 2010 tahun lalu? Apa yang kamu rasakan? Mungkin beberapa di antara kalian merasa kaget, takut, panik, dan banyak dari kalian berpikir bahwa hari itu dunia	Do you still remember when the eruption of Merapi happened last year? How did you feel it? Some of you possibly felt shocked, scared, panicky, and most of us thought that the day would end, it was the doomsday.

akan berakhir, hari itu hari kiamat. Saat ini masih bisa kita rasakan dampak erupsi Merapi. Kita dapat merasakan debu yang masih menyelimuti tempat kita. Kita dapat merasakannya ketika debu itu tertiup angin. Debu itu mengganggu pernapasan kita dan membuat rumah kotor.	Nowadays, we can still see the effect of Merapi’s eruption. We can feel that the dust keeps covering our place. We can see it when the dust is blown by the wind. The dust disturbs our respiration and it makes our house dirty.
Saat ini aku ingin berbagi cerita padamu tentang pengalamanku ketika erupsi Merapi terjadi tahun lalu. Dapat aku katakan ini adalah pengalaman terburukku. Hal ini terjadi di hari Kamis. Siang itu aku harus pergi kuliah. Aku melewati jalan yang biasa aku lewati. Aku tidak tahu jika ada seorang laki-laki yang menyirami halamannya untuk membersihkannya dari debu. Dia menggunakan selang panjang. Dia tidak sadar jika selangnya mengarah padaku. Bajuku basah. Saat itu juga laki-laki itu meminta maaf padaku. Aku pulang untuk berganti baju. Aku tergesa-gesa berangkat kuliah. Akhirnya aku terlambat masuk kelas.	Here, I would like to share about my experience when the dust rain happened last year. I could say that it was the worst experience in my life. It happened on Thursday. In the afternoon, I had to go to the campus because on that day I had some lectures. I passed the road that I used to go through. I did not know that there was a man who watered his yard to get rid of the dust. He used a long pipe. He did not realize that the mouth of the pipe directed to me. As a result, my clothes were wet. The man immediately apologized to me. I went home to change my clothes. Then, I went to the campus in a hurry. Finally, I came late to my class.
Kuliahku berakhir pukul lima sore. Aku siap pulang ke rumah. Hari itu hujan deras. Jalan sangat licin karena abu bercampur dengan air. Ketika aku hendak menyeberang jalan, sebuah bus melintas di depanku. Aku pun mundur. Aku lihat seorang penumpang melemparkan sebuah bungkusan hitam. Aku tak tahu apa isinya. Aku menginjak bungkusan itu dan terjatuh. Aku ambil bungkusan itu dan aku sangat terkejut. Isi bungkusan itu adalah kotoran orang yang mabuk kendaraan dalam bus tersebut. Kotoran itu lembek dan menjijikkan. Aku sakit dan malu. Aku mengutuk orang yang melempar bungkusan tersebut.	My class ended at 5 p.m. I was ready to go back home. It rained heavily. The road was very slippery because the dust mixed with the water. When I wanted to cross the road, there was a bus passing by just in front of me. I spontaneously stepped backward. I saw a passenger throwing a plastic bag. I did not know what the content was. I stepped on that package and, unfortunately, I fell down. I took the package and I was really surprised. The content of it was the vomited matter of a person who suffered from motion sickness. The waste was mushy and disgusting. I felt sick and ashamed. I cursed the person who threw that package so carelessly.
Hari kedua ketika hujan abu terjadi, kondisinya masih sama, bahkan lebih	On the second day, when the dust rain happened. The condition was still just
parah. Kayu-kayu, rumpun bambu roboh. Di mana-mana gelap tertutup abu. Aku kaget. Aku tak dapat pergi ke kampus meskipun hari itu ada kuliah. Aku keluar.

Jalan tertutup abu tebal. Jalanan semakin licin.	the same, even it got worse. Dust covered everything. Trees, stool of bamboo, all of them collapsed like matchsticks. Dark over here and over there, everything was covered by dust. I was very shocked. I could not go to the campus, although actually I had a lecture that day. When I came out, oh I was really surprised to see the condition. I found my pigeons were dead. I forgot to save them. I was really regretful due to it. I came to the road. I touched the dust. The road was covered by the thick dust. The road was more slippery.
Aku pikir ini adalah pengalaman terburukku yang tak akan pernah aku lupakan. Aku tak tahu apakah aku dapat menjumpai hujan abu lagi atau tidak. Meskipun ini pengalaman burukku, aku mendapat beberapa pelajaran, yaitu aku harus berhati-hati jika hendak menyeberang jalan.	I thought that it was my bad experiences that I would never forget it. I did not know whether or not I could see the dust rain again. Although it was my bad experience, I caught some lessons, i.e., I had to be careful if I wanted to cross the road. It was my story. Perhaps some of you have the same experience.

My Grandfather and I By Gita Rahayu Puspita (092120142)	My Grandfather and I By Gita Rahayu Puspita (092120142)
Setiap orang dalam hidup ini mempunyai kisah masing-masing, baik kisah sedih maupun kisah bahagia. Setiap orang juga mempunyai seseorang yang istimewa di hati. Begitu juga dengan aku. Aku mempunyai banyak kisah indah dan aku juga mempunyai banyak orang yang istimewa di hatiku. Namun, kisah yang terkenang selalu adalah kisah dengan kakekku, beliau adalah ayah dari ibuku.	Everybody in this live has his own stories, the stories that can be either sad or happy. He also has someone who is special in his heart. And I have too. I have many wonderful stories and I also have many special people in my heart. However, the story which is memorable is my story about my grandfather. He is the father of my mother.
Ibuku berasal dari jawa tengah, ayahku dari jawa barat, dan kakekku dari padang. Jadi aku mempunyai banyak keluarga dari suku yang berbeda-beda. Aku suka sekali berbahasa ngapak, namun begitu aku juga dapat berbicara	My mother comes from Central Java, whereas my father comes from West Java. And my grandfather is from Padang. So, I have a lot of families from different ethnic groups. I love to speak ngapak, and I can also speak Sundanese

sunda dan sedikit bahasa minangkabau.	and a little bit Minangkabau language.
Sewaktu aku lahir, ayahku sedang mengalami kecelakaan dan dirawat di rumah sakit untuk waktu yang lama. Hal itu menyebabkan ibuku berjuang sendirian untuk melahirkan aku. Tetapi, kakekkulah yang menunggui kelahiranku dan juga yang mengumandangkan suara azan di telingaku. Itulah suara yang pertama aku dengar setelah lahir di dunia, suara kakekku.	When I was born, my father had an accident and was hospitalized for a quite long time. It caused my mother to struggle alone to give birth of me. However, my grandfather managed to stay with my birth and also called azan near my ears. It was the first sound I heard after I come into the world … the voice of my grandfather.
Mungkin itu sebabnya, aku sangat menyayangi kakekku, beliau sangat special di mataku. Di antara semua cucunya, akulah yang paling disayanginya. Seringkali kakek diam-diam memberikan uang tabungannya untukku. Aku pun tidak tega untuk menerimanya, tetapi kakek menaruh uang itu diamdiam di dalam tasku.	That is possibly my reason why I loved my grandfather very much. It is because he was very special in my eyes. Among all of his grandchildren, I was the only one who he loved very much. My grandfather often gave me his savings. I did not have the heart to receive it, but he put the money secretly in my bag.
Nenekku pernah bercerita, kakekku sangat khawatir ketika ibuku sedang melahirkanku. Setiap beliau pulang mengunjungiku, beliau selalu menceritakan dengan antusias perkembanganku dan apa pun yang aku lakukan.	My grandmother had told me that my grandfather was very worried when my mother was giving birth to me. After visiting me, my grandfather used to tell her about my growth very enthusiastically and to tell her about everything I did.
Suatu hari aku berhasil mengucapkan kata embah yaitu sebutan kakek dalam bahasa jawa, saat itu juga kakekku meneteskan airmata karena terharu aku bisa memanggilnya untuk pertama kalinya.	One day, I managed to utter the word embah, a Javanese word for grandfather. At that moment, my grandfather moved to tears because I could call him for the first time.
Setiap liburan aku berkunjung ke rumah kakek. Beliau menceritakan pengalaman hidupnya. Semua cerita beliau sangat menarik. Cerita tentang petualangannya menjelajah banyak kota di indonesia, tentang prinsip hidupnya, dan tentang bagaimana dia memandang hidup ini. Sangat mengagumkan bagiku.	Every holiday, I visited my grandfather’s house. He told me his life experiences. All of his stories were very interesting. They were about his adventures in exploring many cities in Indonesia, about the principles of his life, and about how he viewed this life. They were so amazing to me.
Aku juga sangat mengagumi kehidupan	I also admired his life very much, his life

beliau yang sangat relijius. Dia beribadah dengan rajin. Beliau menjalankan ibadah sunah, seperti berpuasa senin dan kamis, salat tahajud dan membaca alquran.	which was very religious. He prayed to God diligently. He also did the optional worships such as fasting every Monday and Thursday, praying Tahajud, and recitating Alquran.
Suatu hari kakekku jatuh sakit yang dikarenakan gangguan pada lambungnya. Seringkali beliau dirawat di rumah sakit. Namun, tetap tidak bisa sembuh. Aku pun sering menjenguknya ketika beliau sakit. Suatu hari kakekku benar-benar terbaring lemah di tempat tidur. Ketika kakekku makan, beliau merasa kesakitan. Waktu itu aku sedang menjalani ujian akhir nasional sma sehingga aku tidak bisa pulang menjenguknya.	One day, my grandfather was sick due to his stomach problem. He was hospitalized frequently, but he was not getting better. I used to visit him when he was sick. One day, he did lie down weakly on the bed. Whenever he ate something, his stomach was so painful. At that time, I did my national examination at my senior high school, so I could not go home to visit him.
Aku berencana, hari terakhir ujian aku pasti akan pulang. Sungguh aku takut aku tidak bisa menemui kakekku. Namun, pada hari aku pulang, saat itu juga keluargaku mengabarkan kakekku tidak bisa bertahan. Beliau meninggal tanpa sempat menemuiku dan mengelus kepalaku.	I planned at the last day of the national examination, I would visit my grandfather. I was really afraid that I could not see him. However, on the day I went to see him, my family informed me that my grandfather could not stand. He passed away without having any chance to see me and to stroke my head.
Hatiku luar biasa sakit mendengar kabar kematian kakekku. Kakek yang sangat menyayaningku. Beliau pergi tanpa mengatakan satu kata pun kepadaku. Beliau pergi tanpa menunggu kedatanganku.	My heart hurt very much when I heard the news of my grandfather’s death. My grandfather, who loved me very much, passed away without saying any word to me. He died without waiting for my arrival.
Bibiku bercerita, dua hari sebelum kakek meninggal, beliau menanyakanku dan mengatakan kepada bibiku bahwa dia sangat merindukanku. Beliau pun mengerti keadaanku. Beliau mendoakan agar aku lulus ujian dengan nilai yang baik. Kemudian beliau meminta bibiku untuk mengambilkan selimut dan baju ketika aku bayi dulu di lemarinya. Kemudian dia pun memeluk selimut beserta baju tersebut. Seraya meneteskan airmata beliau memanggil namaku.	Two days before my grandfather died, my aunt told me that my grandfather had really missed me. But, he could understand my condition. He prayed to God in order that I could pass the examination with good grades. Then, he asked my aunt to take from his cupboard the blanket and cloth used by me when I was a baby. Then, he hugged them. He was crying when called my name.
Aku sangat menyesal tidak bisa menemuinya untuk yang terakhir kalinya. Sampai saat ini aku masih menyesalinya. Seringkali aku juga teramat merindukannya. Ketika aku merindukannya aku pergi melihat kamarnya dan terkadang aku tertidur di kamar kakekku.	I was really regretful because I could not see him at the last opportunity. I have been regretting it. I also missed him very much. Whenever I missed him, I went to enter his room. And, sometimes, I fell asleep in my grandfather’s room.
Aku selalu mengingat nasihat-nasihat beliau dan semua tentang beliau. Beliau selalu bilang, hidup itu indah dan merupakan anugerah dari tuhan. Beliau berpesan hidup ini adalah sebuah janji kita kepada tuhan. Janji kita untuk menjadi yang terbaik dan melakukan semuanya sebagai ibadah kepada-nya. Karena itu kita harus memenuhi janji tersebut. Kita harus bersyukur atas apa yang tuhan berikan kepada kita dan mencintai hidup kita.	I keep remembering his advices, all about him. He used to say that life was beautiful and it was a precious gift from god. He said that this life was a promise to God, our promise to be the best and to do everything as worship to God. Therefore, we had to fulfil the promise. We had to thank to God for what he gave to us and for his loving us.
Saat aku tua dan mengenang masa lalu, aku berharap aku bisa seperti kakekku dan berkata, “masa lalu itu … sangat indah!”	When I am getting older and looking back to the past, I hope I can be like my grandfather and say: the past was … wonderful!

Awal Menuju Kehidupan yang Sebenarnya Oleh Paramita Dharmasari (072120153)	The Beginning of a Real Life By Paramita Dharmasari (072120153)
Pepatah mengatakan pengalaman adalah guru terbaik dalam kehidupan, entah itu pengalaman baik atau buruk.	Proverb says that experience is the best teacher in life, whether it is a good or bad experience.
Sekitar empat tahun yang lalu, aku mengalami hal terburuk dalam hidupku. Cerita berawal pada saat aku kelas 3 SMA. Di Sabtu pagi seperti biasanya aku bersiap-siap untuk pergi sekolah. Tetapi aku merasa gelisah. Aku melihat ada yang berbeda di rumahku.	About four years ago, I got the worst experience in my life. The story began when I was in the third grade of senior high school. On saturday morning, as usual, I prepared to go to school. But, I felt uneasy. I saw there was very different situation in my home.
Aku melihat ibuku menyiapkan sarapan untuk anak-anaknya dan menyelesaikan semua tugas rumah lebih awal, tak	I saw my mother preparing the breakfast for her children and finishing all of the chores earlier, and it was unusual. That

seperti biasanya. Bukan hal itu yang membuatku kalut, tapi perkataan beliau kepadaku, “Ibu akan pergi beberapa hari, jadi Ibu harus menyiapkan semuanya untuk kalian.” Aku berpikir, menenangkan diriku, mungkin Ibu memang mendapat tugas kerja dari kantornya. Aku mencoba untuk berpikiran positif.	was not the thing which made me confused, but her words to me, “I will go for a few days, so I have to prepare all for you.” I thought, to calm down my self, my mother possibly got a duty from her job. I tried to have a positive thinking.
Akhirnya kegelisahanku terjawab sudah. Aku harus pulang lebih awal dari teman- temanku. Aku semakin merasa penasaran karena guruku tidak memberitahuku alasan kepulanganku.	Finaly, my anxiety was already answered. I had to leave school earlier than my friends. I was more and more curious because my teacher did not tell me the reason why I had to go home.
Sesampainya di rumah, kulihat ada bendera putih di dekat rumahku. Banyak orang datang dan situasi itu semakin menguatkan firasatku. Ayah menyambut kedatanganku dengan tangis, dia terlihat sangat sedih. Tiba-tiba aku menyadari apa yang sedang terjadi saat itu, aku kehilangan ibuku. Ibu meninggal karena kecelakaan. Tak pernah kubayangkan musibah ini akan terjadi padaku.	When I arrived at my home, I saw a white flag near my home. A lot of people came, and of course that situation reinforced my presentiment. My father greeted me with tears, and he looked too sad. Unfortunately, I realized what was happening at that time. I lost my mother. My mother passed away due to an accident. I had never imagined this tragedy would happen to me.
Sebulan kemudian, Tuhan kembali memberiku kejadian yang menguji kesabaranku. Ayahku juga mengalami kecelakaan dan harus dirawat di UGD. Aku bersyukur karena ayah dapat segera pulih. Namun, aku kecewa, Ayah meninggalkan aku dan adikku di rumah nenek. Sampai sekarang pun aku tak tahu di mana dia.	A month later, God gave me the event that examined my patience. My father also had an accident and he should be treated in an ICU room. I was grateful for he could recover soon. But, I was disappointed. He left me and my sisters and brother at grandma’s house. Until now i did not know where he was.
Pada awalnya, sulit bagiku menerima kenyataan. Aku sangat merasa putus asa. Tetapi alhamdulillah aku dapat beradaptasi dengan keadaanku. Aku berusaha menuntun ketiga adikku untuk hidup mandiri dan pasrah. Aku menjadi lebih semangat dan berusaha untuk membangun keberanianku untuk menghadapi hidupku yang telah berubah.	At first, it was very hard for me to accept all the facts. I felt so hopeless. But, alhamdulillah I could adapt in my condition. I tried to guide my siblings to live independently and to put our live in God’s hands. I was more conscious and tried to build my bravery to face my changing life.
Beruntung sekarang aku masih berkesempatan melanjutkan kuliah, jadi aku dapat meneruskan cita-citaku. Aku menjadi lebih dewasa dan lebih percaya diri menjalani hidup karena kondisiku. Setiap ujian yang diberikan Tuhan adalah sumber semangatku. Terima kasih Tuhan, Engkau telah menuntun jalanku. Ini adalah pengalaman yang menjadi langkah pertamaku menuju kehidupan yang sebenarnya.	Luckily, now, I still have a chance to continue my study at a college, so I can continue my ambition. I become more mature and more confident to face my life because of my condition. Every temptation that is given by God is the source of my consciousness. Thank God, you guide my way. This is my experience that becomes my first step to face my real life.

Pengalamanku By Arleni (092120091)	My Experience By Arleni (092120091)
Apakah kamu punya pengalaman yang berkesan? Aku yakin pasti semua orang punya pengalaman, baik itu yang disadari atau tidak, atau pengalaman jelek atau pun bagus. Pasti itu akan menjadi sesuatu hal yang tidak bisa dilupakan. Pun demikian dengan diriku, terkadang aku merasa tidak ada hal-hal menarik yang dapat aku banggakan atau bisa disebut pengalaman yang berkesan. Tetapi aku yakin dari hal-hal kecil yang aku lakukan pasti ada hal-hal yang berharga.	Do you have a memorable experience? I believe that all people have, whether or not he realizes it, whether it is a good or bad one. Surely it will be something that cannot be forgotten. Thus, even with myself, sometimes I feel that there is no interesting thing that can be proud of or can be called a memorable experience. But i believe that the little things that i do must have something which is valuable.
Aku mahasiswa semester 5 di Universitas Muhammadiyah Purworejo. Aku berasal	I am a student of the fifth semester at Muhammadiyah University of Purworejo

dari Kebumen. Di Purworejo aku tinggal di sebuah kos. Meskipun sederhana, tempatnya sangat nyaman, bersih dan rapi. Berbagai bunga tumbuh di sekeliling kos, sehingga menambah keindahan dan kenyamanan. Di sini tinggal 5 anak dan seorang pemilik kos. Pemilik sangat baik, rajin, dan dermawan. Beliau adalah seorang janda. Beliau sering memberi nasihat kepada kami tentang arti sebuah hidup. Teman-teman di kos juga sangat menyenangkan. Mereka bagaikan keluargaku sendiri. Kami sering melakukan berbagai hal bersama, seperti belajar, makan, salat berjamaah, dll. Aku sangat betah tinggal di kos. Kami hidup saling tolong-menolong dan saling pengertian.	(UMP). I come from the town of Kebumen. In Purworejo, I live in a boarding house. Although it is simple, it is very comfortable, clean, and tidy. A variety of flowers growing around the boarding house. Thus, it adds the beauty and comfort. There are 5 students and the boarding house’s owner living there. The owner of the boarding house is very kind, industrious, and generous. She is a widow. She often gives us something. She also gives us some advises about the meaning of life. All friends living in the boarding house is very kind and friendly. They are like my family. We often do things together, such as studying, eating, praying in congregation, etc. I really like living in the boarding house. We live by helping and understanding one another.
Selain kuliah, aku juga mengikuti sebuah Unit Kegiatan Mahasiswa (UKM) yang menurutku sangat menarik. UKM tersebut bergerak di bidang sosial kemanusiaan dan bekerjasama dengan PMI. Di UKM inilah aku menemukan banyak hal-hal kecil yang sangat berharga. Mulai dari persahabatan hingga hal-hal yang belum aku lakukan sebelumnya. Aku mengenal banyak anak dari lain program studi atau pun dari lain fakultas. Mereka sangat baik, ramah, dan tidak sombong. Mereka juga mempunyai jiwa sosial yang tinggi. Mereka juga sering membantu yang lain yang membutuhkan. Mereka menganggap siapa saja yang berada di organisasi ini adalah keluarga. Hidup dalam satu naungan dan tujuan.	Besides attending the lectures, I also join a student’s activity unit called UKM which I think very interesting. Such a unit engages in social and humanity affairs, and it cooperates with Indonesian Red Cross (PMI). In this unit, I found many little things that are very valuable. It starts from friendship to the things which I have never done before. I know many students from other study programs or faculties. They are very kind, friendly, and humble. They do like to socialize. They also often help others who need a help. They consider anyone being involved in that organization as one family, living in one shelter and having the same aim.
Base camp-nya juga sangat nyaman, bersih, dan rapi. Kami sering menyebutnya Student Health Center (SHC). Banyak alat-alat kesehatan seperti timbangan, stetoskop, obat-obat ringan, dll. Terkadang ada juga dosen dan mahasiswa yang datang ke sana untuk menimbang berat badan, mengukur	The base camp is very comfortable, clean, and neat. We often call it Student Health Center (SHC). In it, there are many health tools, such as scales, stethoscopes, mild medicine, etc. Sometimes there are also some lecturers and students who come there to weigh their weight, to measure their blood
tekanan darah atau sekadar minta obat. Jika kamu sakit atau kurang enak badan, kamu boleh datang ke base camp untuk istirahat atau minta obat.	pressure, or just to ask for the medicines. If you are sick or unwell, you should come to basecamp for rest or ask for medicine.
UKM ini mempunyai banyak agenda atau program kerja. Dari agenda inilah aku mengikuti kegiatan-kegiatan yang sangat menarik, baik yang di dalam ruangan maupun di luar ruangan, seperti diklatsar, baksos, donor darah, panitia lomba PP (Pertolongan Pertama), seminar, dan masih banyak lagi. Kami juga sering diundang oleh UKM lain atau Himpunan Mahasiswa (HIMA) untuk membantu mereka sebagai tim kesehatan. PMI juga sering meminta pertolongan untuk membantu mereka dalam acara-acara mereka, seperta jaga posko lebaran, mengajar PMR wira, dll.	This UKM has many agendas or working programs. From here, I join the events that are very interesting, both indoors and outdoors, such as diklatsar, baksos, blood donor, the committee of first aid contest, holding a seminar, and so on. We are also often invited by other ukm or hima to help them as a health team. PMI also often asks for help to assist them in holding its events, such as attending Lebaran posts, teaching PMR Wira, etc.
Banyak hal-hal yang berharga yang aku dapatkan setelah mengikuti UKM tersebut, di antaranya bertambah teman dan pengalaman, berlatih berorganisasi, dan menambah kepercayaan diri.	There are a lot of valuable things that I get after following it, such as making friends and experiences, practicing how to organize, and increasing my selfconfidence.
Inilah pengalaman yang aku peroleh selama hampir lima semester di UMP. Bagaimana denganmu?	This is an experience that I get during almost five years being a student of UMP. How about you?
