Mengapa Bahasa Inggris
sulit untuk dipelajari?. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah begitu banyak
kata-kata yang tulisan atau pengucapannya mirip dan bahkan sama tetapi
memiliki makna yang berbeda. Silahkan anda perhatikan beberapa contoh
kalimat berikut ini:
- The bandage was wound around the wound. (was wound: dibalutkan; the wound: luka)
- He could lead if he would get the lead out. (lead: memimpin; the lead: petunjuk)
- The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. (to desert: meninggalkan; dessert: makanan pencuci mulut; the desert: padang gurun)
- When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. (the dove: merpati; dove: terjun)
- The insurance was invalid for the invalid. (invalid: cacat; the invalid: penderita cacat)
- They were too close to the door to close it. (close: dekat; to close: menutup)
Salam damai penuh cinta.
