Interview a foreigner

This is just a general interview with a foreigner that I met in Kota Tua Jakarta. He is Bruce from Germany. Let's see the video ☺

This story is wrote by Anna Todd and this story is a fan-fiction from the biggest boyband in the world it is One Direction. Firstly she wrote this story in wattpad and after this story got a billion readers from wattpad, one of the most publisher in New York made this story into a novel.

This is about Theressa Young or Tessa who got a scholarship to Washington Central University (WCU). Before she started her day in the university, her mother always remind her to take care of herself and do not going to part and get drunk. Tessa promise it and Tessa also promise with her boyfriend, Noah, that they'll still can keep in contact and will meet every weekend. But it's not easy as she thought.

She met with Hardin, he is Stephanie's friend which is a Tessa roommate in the dorm. Tessa doesn't like Hardin because he is rough and impolite. But Tessa couldn't step away from him because Hardin is Steph's friend. So, Tessa will always met him.

Steph always invite Tessa for going to party and at the party Tessa met Steph's friends included Hardin. At the second party, Tessa came again. They're played a game "truth or dare". When they were playing together, Tessa get asked and she choose "truth". And the question is are she is still virgin or not? and Tessa answer it "yes". Tessa often comes to the party even though Hardin always annoyed her, but Tessa felt like she always wanted to be with Hardin. Especially when they're both kissed each other for the first time in Hardin's room when Tessa got drunk.

Tessa always think about Hardin and it makes Tessa forgot with her boyfriend, Noah. Tessa and Hardin always spent their times together, Tessa get in love with Hardin and had a feeling with him. And also Hardin look like have a feeling with her too. It makes Tessa left her boyfriend and she fight with her mom too for Hardin.

But after she sacrificed their relationship with Noah and her mom, Hardin can't give what Tessa want. It is the status of their relationship. Hardin gave all of Tessa want, Tessa live at his apartment and Tessa prove it. Moreover, Tessa give her virginity for him and Hardin still can't tell the status of their relationship. Tessa was suspected with his act. Especially the way Hardin act in front of Tessa and his friends are different. And Tessa tried to figure it out.

What she should suspect it was true. Tessa was become a bet for Hardin and his friends to take her virginity.. After all of the truth was revealed, her life was changed. She lost everything in her life. Her relationship with Noah and her mom, her dorm where she live during this time, her virginity, and she was lost Hardin.

So many times Hardin tried to apologize and he said all of that its not about the bet anymore. And now, Hardin was truly fall in love with Tessa. But Tessa doesn't believe it that easy. And everything has changed.

Favorite Character

My favorite character based on this novel is all the cast from One Direction members HAHA. But my favorite one is Hardin a.k.a Harry Styles. I really love him even in this story he is a bad boy who had a lot of tattooes and piercing. He is a tall boy, had a curly long hair, sexy lips, green eyes, and its all makes him really sexy. And I believe every women when heard his husky voice while he is speaking or singing will melted like mozarella cheese.

The Irish Guy

You. Irish Guy

Blonde dyed hair

Bright blue eyes

I know you so well

And I love you, more than you love guitar

When I write your name
and look at your pictures
it's made my day
It makes me stop and drop about anything
Just to think about you

When you laugh

My heart rate increases

And when you smile,

all the pain and worries suddenly vanish

I always dreamin' about you

But, its hard
You don't even know me
Not that well
I want to be the reason for your smile,
the reason for your laugh

I wanna be yours

I'm falling madly in love with you

And I wish that you were going crazy for me too

I'm in love with you, would you feel the same?

What is love?

Apa itu Cinta? Siapa yang tidak kenal dengan cinta? Sejak kecil kita sudah merasakan arti cinta yang sesungguhnya. Perasaan cinta kepada orang tua, saudara, kerabat, teman, pacar ataupun lawan jenis, maupun kepada negara.. Cinta adalah suatu perasaan yang positif dan diberikan pada manusia atau benda lainnya. Bisa dialami semua makhluk. Penggunaan perkataan cinta juga dipengaruhi perkembangan waktu dan masa. Perkataan senantiasa berubah arti menurut tanggapan, pemahaman dan penggunaan di dalam keadaan, kedudukan dan generasi masyarakat yang berbeda. Cinta itu berbeda dengan kasih sayang. Tetapi dengan kita merasakan cinta dalam diri kita terhadap seseorang atau yang lainnya dari situlah muncul perasaan sayang. Biasanya masyarakat membedakan cinta ini lebih pada lawan jenis (pacar atau suami), sementara sayang itu berlaku secara umum (orang tua, saudara)

Banyak orang yang mencoba mendefiniskan arti cinta seperti apa, namun jika di tinjau lebih dalam kata cinta itu sendiri memiliki arti yang sangat luas, karena objek cinta itu sangat banyak dan perbedaan emosi cinta dari setiap objek yang berbeda juga tidak sama. Cinta juga merupakan sebuah pengorbanan. Kita rela melakukan hal apapun yang didasari dengan cinta. Ketika orang lagi kasmaran, maka dalam tubuhnya akan memproduksi hormon Phenthylamine ( PEA), efeknya adalah terjadi peningkatan suhu tubuh, gula dan tekanan darah, denyut jantung akan lebih cepat dan berkeringat, orang tersebut juga menjadi penasaran, salah tingkah, bergairah (bersemangat), dan gembira.

Cinta merupakan hal yang sangat subyektif, satu orang dengan orang lainnya akan memaknakan secara berbeda. Namun ada tanda-tanda yang menunjukkan adanya perasaan cinta yaitu adanya unsur keterkaitan dan kekaguman. Karena biasanya cinta didahului oleh rasa ketertarikan dan kekaguman. Cinta juga akan teringat terus dalam ingatan. Perasaan cinta membuat bayangan tentang orang yang dicintainya selalu ada dalam ingatan. Dan yang terakhir adanya pengorbanan. Perasaan cinta menimbulkan perasaan ingin berbuat apa saja yang dapat membahagiakan dan menyenangkan orang yang dicintai

Akhir cerita cinta tersebut dapat menimbulkan salah satu dampak yang paling sering muncul. Yaitu rasa cemburu. Cemburu biasanya diperlihatkan oleh seseorang pada saat seseorang merasa perhatian pasangannya beralih kepada yang lain. Cemburu biasanya merupakan tanda cinta bersyarat dan egoisme, tanda kurang percaya diri dan penghargaan diri.

Direct and Indirect Speech

1. Definition

a. Direct Speech : Direct speech repeats, or quotes, the exact words spoken. When we use direct speech in writing, we place the words spoken between quotation marks (" ") and there is no change in these words. We may be reporting something that's being said NOW (for example a telephone conversation), or telling someone later about a previous conversation.

Example:

She says, "What time will you be home?"
"There's a fly in my soup!" screamed Simone.

b. Indirect Speech : Reported or indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may use the word 'that' to introduce the reported words. Inverted commas are not used.

Example: - She said, "I saw him." (direct speech) = She said that she had seen him. (indirect speech)

a. Rules of Direct Speech :

There are certain rules which we need to follow while constructing a sentence in Direct Speech or while choosing Direct Speech to express what somebody said.

Shut the door!
Please shut the door.
Repair the door by tomorrow!

To convert such like sentences into indirect speech, follow the following rules along with the above-mentioned rules:

Reporting Verb is changed according to Reported Speech into ORDER in case the sentence gives a direct command. For example:
