1. Compound Sentence

A compound sentence refers to a sentence made up of two independent clauses (or complete sentences) connected to one another with a coordinating conjunction.

The coordinators are as follows:

·         For

·         And

·         Nor

·         But

·         Or

·         Yet

·         So

(Helpful hint (it help to remember the coordinators): The first letter of each of the coordinators spells FANBOYS.)

Except for very short sentences, coordinators are always preceded by a comma

Examples:

1.      She tries to sing a mellow song, and he tries to sing a metallic song.

2.      My mother is cooking, but my father is dancing

3.      Aliando and prily are acting in “Ganteng- Ganteng Srigala” film, but Rajo Langit and Ratna are acting in “7 manusia harimau” film.

 The above three sentences are compound sentences. Each sentence contains two independent clauses, and they are joined by a coordinator with a comma preceding it.

 2. Interpreting idea about compound sentence

 I think some people in the world have the same opinion with me when they talk about love. Love means senses that always feel every human in the world. It is also the feeling that had given by god to each mankind. According to many reference stated that love is refers to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection, also an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment, a virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection, or describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans oneself or animals. Actually the meaning of love is wide. It can be love with your family, friends, or your pet.

If there is a question to teenager about “what do you know about love?” The first word they will think is happiness. It means that all people in the world have the same expectation. Usually love is identical with teenager or young people who didn’t think about the future. They just think about what makes their self happy and satisfied their heart, many teenagers do that.

Although just few persons thinks that love is sadness and it just causes they have bad experience in love. But, for someone who said that love is beautiful. It is someone who falling in love. For someone who has broken hearts and they will choose being alone without letting any attention for another person to fill their hearts and remove their emptiness. But, when someone has been alone without their couple, who will be helps them to face the world.

A number of teenagers usually will feel more ambitiously when they talk about love because they have sensitive feeling. Love is being their hot issues that obligatory should be talked about. Actually when they are falling in love they remember doing something that hurts their self but they forgot it. It is causes they find new happiness. Moreover although love is always hurts but teenagers still keep trying to make new experience in love as like they doing dating and hang out together with their boy or girlfriend.

It is quite different with someone who was not being teenager again. They just feel love that able together with their children and always give the best attention to their family.

So when you are a teenager let yourself falling in love, also don’t keep your heart from the affection if you feel hurts make it become  your experience to be the best in the future of life to face the world. Also you will feel ready to the other problems that you have to solve and keep forward.

3. Complex Sentence

A complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses connected to it. A dependent clause is similar to an independent clause, or complete sentence, but it lacks one of the elements that would make it a complete sentence. 

Examples of dependent clauses include the following:

• because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon
• while he waited at the train station
• after they left on the bus

Dependent clauses such as those above cannot stand alone as a sentence, but they can be added to an independent clause to form a complex sentence.

Dependent clauses begin with subordinating conjunctions. Below are some of the most common subordinating conjunctions:

• after
• although
• as
• because
• before
• even though
• if
• since
• though
• unless
• until
• when
• whenever
• whereas
• wherever
• while

A complex sentence joins an independent clause with one or more dependent clauses.

The dependent clauses can go first in the sentence, followed by the independent clause, as in the following:

Tip: When the dependent clause comes first, a comma should be used to separate the two clauses.

1. Because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon, I did not see them at the station.
2. While he waited at the train station, Joe realized that the train was late.
3. After they left on the bus, Mary and Samantha realized that Joe was waiting at the train station.

Conversely, the independent clauses can go first in the sentence, followed by the dependent clause, as in the following:

Tip: When the independent clause comes first, a comma should not be used to separate the two clauses.

1. I did not see them at the station because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon.
2. Joe realized that the train was late while he waited at the train station.
3. Mary and Samantha realized that Joe was waiting at the train station after they left on the bus.

Complex sentences are often more effective than compound sentences because a complex sentence indicates clearer and more specific relationships between the main parts of the sentence. The word "before," for instance, tells readers that one thing occurs before another. A word such as "although" conveys a more complex relationship than a word such as "and" conveys.

4. Persuasive Essay

Impede Import Car, the Government Increase Luxurious Car’s Tax

Paying taxes is actually the duty of every citizen. The quantity of any tax paid is different for each object. Tax’s car for example, every brand and a quantity of CC will be different for each unit. The use of cars in Indonesia is like a secondary need, especially for use of private cars are brands and comfort, it is comparable as relevant with high purchase price and also in tax. Now the government makes of PP (government regulation) about tax on luxury aids including luxury cars with more than 3000 CC. I believe if this rule is applied to many positive changes that will be obtained even there are some people disagree with the policy.

Someone who disagrees about the policy is a factory that will build investment in Indonesia as claimed by Harry the member of commission IX (DPR member IX) Harry said, "Chrysler automotive company plan to build a factory in Indonesia in 2015 threatened to cancel the plan. In the fact, the plant has the potential to absorb at least 10 thousand workers "and he also considered, there are interest groups that would lose money if the tax on luxury car is applied. Indonesia is the world's second largest market in sale Lamborghini. If this rule applies, then the price of luxury cars will be more expensive and the purchase will be reduced too, it is possible to lose some parties. "There are interest groups that lobbying the government, so the government's hesitation in returning the policy. There is group ware that affected with this policy (PPnBM). I think Indonesia as the second largest market for Lamborghini, it is only natural that the lobby is done," he also said that the Golkar Party has objected to the government's plan to increase taxes on luxury wares (GOODS) for vehicle type CBU (Completely Build Up) with 3,000 CC and above.

The government said that the government has announced a package of measures to stabilize the economy, including the current account deficit (exports-imports minus) and maintain the exchange rate. One of the policies is raising taxes on luxury wares as like luxury cars that are imported, from 75 percent to 125-150 percent.

As usual there are pros and there are cons, in addressing this matter, a lot of people who agreed to the implementation of this economic policy. In applying of luxury cars’ tax, actually the government wants to suppress import of luxury cars only the upper class that not all people afford to buy. The government has considered this economic policy carefully. This luxury car tax increase has been through several stages of start notification to the factories in the country or those who have cooperated with Indonesia to import cars. Increase of luxury car tax is also to increase domestic products, there are many environmentally cars under 3000 CC produced by the vehicle manufacturer in this country. It is absolutely be a golden opportunity for them. If some companies fail to open factories in Indonesia it doesn’t matter and can solved due to the domestic company’s car are able to open a lot of job vacancy to the citizens of Indonesia. This policy would also slightly reduce traffic jam.

So the conclusion is there are pros and cons opinion about this issue is very influential for the implementation of the policy, although the policy has implemented but still little parties disagree, in this case the government should make more transparency the use of the luxury car tax in order to avoid misunderstanding in enacting that policies listed in government regulation (PP) without harming a lot of side.
