Contoh Soal Stating objectives , purpose - We are learning how to state objectives / purpose in daily conversations that use simple structures in various aspects of daily life. The objective of the lesson is: students are able to state objectives / purpose in various settings.
Two men are talking about the latest news on TV.
Peter : What happened to those two men?
James : They have just fought.
Peter : Why did they fight?
James : They fought for the crown.
Peter : Hmm…. What do you mean?
Peter : What happened to those two men?
James : They have just fought.
Peter : Why did they fight?
James : They fought for the crown.
Peter : Hmm…. What do you mean?
Did they fight on behalf of the crown or did they fight in order to take the crown?
English has various ways of expressing objectives / purpose. However, expressing objectives / purpose can be a problem if we are not careful. In the dialogue above, James says: “They fought for the crown” is ambiguous. The word for that is used to state purpose is not the best word. The best word to state purpose in that sentence is (in order) to. So, James should say: “They fought in order to get the crown”
