Task 1:
Let’s
study “the adverb clause of condition”.
Understand
the explanation.
Adverb Clause of Condition
1.
Whether or not
Whether
or not
expresses the idea that neither this condition nor that condition matters; the
result will be the same.
Example:
I am going to go jogging tomorrow whether or not it is cold, or
I am going to go jogging tomorrow whether it is cold or not.
2.
Even if
Sentences with even if are close in meaning to those with whether or not. Even if
gives the idea that a particular condition does not matter. The result will not
change.
Example:
I have decided to go jogging tomorrow. Even if the weather is cold, I’m going
to go jogging.
“Even if
clauses”
are followed by an unexpected result.
Example:
Even
if
Dona runs quickly, she won’t catch the bus.
-
Condition: Dona runs
quickly.
-
Unexpected
result:
she doesn’t catch the bus.
Compare it with
another sentence.
Example:
If Ann runs
quickly, she will catch the bus
-
If clauses are followed by
an expected result
-
Condition: Ann runs
quickly.
-
Expected result: She catches the
bus.
1.
In case (that)
In
case (that)
expresses the idea that something probably won’t happen, but it might.
In
case (that)
has the same meaning as by any chance
this should happen.

I’ll be at home in case (that) you need my help.

More Disasters are Likely to Follow
The fourth week of November this
year has seen more intense rainfall across the archipelago, meaning that annual
natural disasters are waiting. Everyone, especially the central as well as
regional governments are reminded to be watchful.
The first and significant
catastrophe occurred when a Lion Air passenger jet skidded off a slippery
runway in a heavy rain and slammed into a cemetery at the Surakarta Adisumarmo
airport on November 30.
The normal natural disasters such as
flooding and landslides have also begun taking place. Hundreds of residents of
Pekanbaru (Riau province) had to abandon their homes on November 29 after
floodwaters rose to a height of one meter in several parts of the city. In
Dairi regency, North Sumatra, a landslide took the life of one person and a
number of houses were damaged in a landslide in Jember regency, East Java (The
Jakarta Post, Nov.30)
The Lion Air plane crash could have
been averted if the pilot had, in consultation with officials in the airport
tower, made a decision to land at another nearby airport, for instance in Yogyakarta,
when he saw the heavy rain had made it impossible to land. This tragedy should
serve as a bitter lesson for other pilots to be more careful during the rainy
season.
As for the flooding and landslides,
we might remember the November 2 flash flood that hit the North Sumatra resort
of Langkat, killing over 100 people and leaving hundreds more missing. The root
caused of these disasters is known to all, i.e. environmental damage especially
as a result of illegal logging.
The administration of the President
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has vowed to use his first 100 days in office to crack
down on illegal loggers as well as corrupt officials.
In the meantime, this year’s rainy
season has just started and there are at least three more months to come. Heavy
downpours must be anticipated in disaster-prone areas, including in Jakarta.
All officials must be on full alert to prevent any catastrophes, otherwise the
ordinary people will be left to suffer even more.
