 Tittle : How causes a landslide

General statement

Landslides occur when gravity overcomes the frictional forces keeping layers of rock in place on a slope. Weak geological layers, such as fragile shale, can create a failure plane, making slopes unstable.

Causal explanation

1. Heavy Rain

-Effect: Increases the weight of the soil and acts as a lubricant, thereby increasing the possibility of landslides. 

2. Deforestation 

Effect: Removes tree roots which function to stabilize the soil, making the soil more susceptible to shifting. 

3. Earthquakes

 Effect: Shaking the ground, which can shift the top rock layer and trigger landslides.

Conclusion

Some landslides happen gradually, destabilizing structures over time. Coastal erosion also causes rockfall; as waves erode cliff edges, they eventually collapse.


Feature language

1. Present tense

The phrase "landslides occur when gravity overcomes" is called the present tense because it describes a situation or fact that is general and always true.

2. Complex nouns 

"upper layer" because it consists of two parts that complement each other to form a more complex and specific concept

3. Abstract noun

 "stability" because it represents a concept that is non-physical and cannot be felt directly, but can only be understood through certain experiences and contexts in life.

4. Pronouns 

"we" because we replaces a noun and functions as the subject in the sentence, refers to the group of people to which the speaker belongs.

5. Subject 

"landslide" because it functions as the main actor or topic in the sentence, explaining the particular event or phenomenon being discussed.

6. Adverb 

"extremely" because it functions to modify and provide additional information regarding the degree or intensity of the adjective or other adverb in the sentence.

7. Connectives

 "and" because of its important function in connecting elements in a sentence, thereby creating a more complex and integrated structure in communication.

8. Passive voice

 "the ground we stand on is made up of layers of different rock and other materials" because its structure shows that the subject (soil) receives the action (formed by layers), and the focus is more on the state of the ground than on the perpetrator of the action

9. Time conjunction 

the word "as" because it functions to connect clauses in a sentence and provides information about the time when two events occurred.

10.Technical terms

 "landslide" is called a technical term because it has a clear definition in a scientific context.

  "The Effect of Using Explicit Instruction Strategy on Learners’ Listening Comprehension of Procedure Text" Procedure texts are often found in both academic contexts and everyday life. However, learners frequently face difficulties in understanding instructions when listening to the text. This is usually caused by the complex language structure of procedure texts and unfamiliar vocabulary within them. To address this issue, learning strategies that focus on clarity and structured learning, such as explicit instruction strategies, are expected to enhance learners' understanding of procedure texts through listening activities. This research employs a questionnaire, as it is considered an effective way to gather in-depth information from participants. Furthermore, the data will be processed using qualitative methods to explain the results of the research, focusing on understanding levels, perceptions, difficulties, challenges, and the effectiveness of learners after using t...

The Effect of Different Accent in Understanding Procedure Text in Listening Class The study highlights the importance of listening skills in language learning, emphasizing that listening comprehension is a complex process that goes beyond vocabulary and sentence structure. It involves familiarity with accents, intonation, and speaking rates. Differences in accents can impact learners' understanding, especially in procedure texts that require step by step comprehension. The research seeks to address three main questions: How do accent variations affect students' understanding of procedure texts in listening class? Are certain accents more challenging or easier to understand?H How do students perceive and rate the difficulty of understanding different accents? This quantitative study involved pre- and post-tests with seven third-semester English Education students at IAIN Kediri. Students’ comprehension was tested through listening to procedure texts with British and American acc...
