Preface
Education has a strategic role in the development of a nation. The quality of the human resources of a nation can be improved by education. Thus national education has to be able to ensure the equality in opportunity to get an education, the improvement of education quality, the improvement of education relevance, and the improvement of efficiency of education management.
To achieve the good quality of national education, it is needed to arrange and implement the eight national standards of education, which are: the standard of content, the standard of process, the standard of graduate competence, the standard of educator and educational staff, the standard of facilities and infrastructures, the standard of management, the standard of finance and the standard of educational assessment.
Communication Builder: English for Vocational School for Intermediate Level (Grade
XII) meets the objectives. It aims to assist you in learning processes by providing a number of learning materials and activities that will improve your English proficiency. The activities, exercises and text choices are deliberately customized to be suitable in any vocational contexts, such as engineering, economics, agriculture, tourism and other vocational contexts.
Communication Builder: English for Vocational School for Intermediate Level (Grade
XII) is composed based on literacy-based approach for all vocational competence programmes in which you will find activities which are systematically arranged in harmony with the learning process. The process is to bridge the students background knowledge and experiences with the materials to be given, expose you to authentic materials of language use, and have you work on activities both individually and in groups.
Last but not least, the writers are very grateful to all people who have helped and given their input, support and encouragement. We would like to thank PT Setia Purna Inves, especially the editors and team, for facilitating us to publish our work. Hopefully, this book will help you learn English in a communicative way.

Date : April 1, 2008
Employees work best if they are happy. As a supervisor, there are things you can do to increase employees' job satisfaction. Make sure your employees understand what they have to do.

Subjunctives with Wish/If Only
Subjunctives are sentence constructions used to express situations that contradict with the real situations.
1. Subjunctive with wishWish can be used with several different tenses: wish + past simple, wish + past perfect, and wish + would + in nitive.a) Wish + past simple
This expresses an unrealistic desire for the present situation to be different since there is very little chance of the change occurring.Examples: I wish I lived in Australia. I wish I had wings.
b) Wish + past perfect This expresses a desire that an action or event in the past had been different.
Example: I wish I hadn’t decided to work in that company. c) Wish + would + in nitive
This expresses a desire for a situation to change either now or in the future. The change could possibly occur but it generally depends on action from some other persons or things.Example: I wish he would give up smoking.
2. Subjunctives with if onlyIf only can be used instead of wish in all three constructions above. If only has a stronger and unrealistic meaning than wish.Example : If only I had wings.
Grammar Review
Change the following sentences into subjunctives.
Example: My dad never comes home before 11 p.m. I wish my dad would come home before 11 p.m.1. I’d love to be a lm star.
.2. We decided to sell our house.
.3. He spent all his money in the casino.

My name is Toni Raharjo and I am the manager at Smart Taste Restaurant in Bandung, Indonesia. I have been dealing with restaurants for many years and now I want to share my experiences and insights on how to enjoy working in this eld. My story is just one example of how the dream of working in the growing and vibrant restaurant industry can be anyone's reality.It takes many jobs to run a successful restaurant—and not just jobs that involve chopping lettuce or waiting tables. In fact, the restaurant industry has many different positions and job titles—from management to public relations to fund raising—and yes, cooking! Let's look at a snapshot of who's who in the restaurant industry.• Who prepares salads, dessert plates and sandwiches?
The pantry cook.• Who publicizes the restaurant's fund raising events,
parties and tasting? The public relations manager.• Who selects the wines and coaches the wait staff on

Chances are your report contains lots of detailed data. Be on the alert to include only the most essential data in your visuals. As you create your visuals, keep in mind the fundamental rules. Use only at-a-glance visuals that support your key messages. As much as possible, avoid visuals crowded with lots of data, charts, and graphs that add nothing of real value.

ReadingReading
Read aloud and study the following text about presenting
reports.
Presenting Reports An oral report is a presentation of the material covered in your nal written report. You will have seven minutes to present your report. You may use less time, but you may not exceed the limit. In industry, oral reports are often given before consultants, who charge extravagantly for their time; therefore, you must learn to budget the time allotted you and not exceed it. You will know in advance precisely when, day and time, to the minute, you will be expected to give your report. Be ready to go as soon as you stand up, don't waste time with preparatory goo ng around. Rehearse your talk ahead of time. Practice turning transparencies, writing on the blackboard, or using whatever visual aids you choose.

1. Building a great presentation is about doing great preparation. It involves doing research, homework, and asking the right questions. Unfortunately, the reality of public speaking is that preparation is the most important facet of any great presentation. Do you agree with the statement? Why or why not?
2. Presenters are like architects. They craft blueprints and then share masterpieces with those in the audience. Every word, every slide, and every handout needs to be closely inspected to match the laws of simplicity. What is meant by blueprint and masterpiece?
3. Aristotle taught about three presentation components: pathos, logos, and ethos. Pathos refers to the ability of the speaker to win over an audience with emotions. Logos refers to winning the audience with evidence and letting them know that you are an expert, and most important - ethos refers to the credibility. What is meant by credibility?

Read the following text. Pay attention to the
information.
Practicing Your PresentationPractice presenting your report at least once before presenting it in class. Time your talk so you know exactly how much material you can t in, and how to set the material. Don't just read your notes to yourself - stand up and give the talk the way you will to the class. You will nd it very dif cult to speak clearly at your normal silent reading speed. You will probably nd, if you are like most people, that you have too much material. If possible, practice presenting your report in the room where you are going to present it formally. Learn to ll the room with your voice, as described in lecture. Concentrating on the sound of your voice will also help you not to be nervous when you are presenting the report. Nervousness may make you speak faster or slower than in your rehearsal. Be prepared with a little extra material, in case you speak too fast. If English is not your native language, and you nd speaking without a prepared text dif cult, or if you are overwhelmingly nervous about speaking publicly, it is all right to write your presentation out verbatim and memorize it. However, you must treat memorizing a report in the same way you would treat memorizing a play script. This means that you must memorize it with normal pauses, emphasis, and intonation, and take special care not to speak faster than the normal speech rate. If humanly possible, don't do your presentation by memorizing a speech it is not the best way. If you are a non-native speakers, it is good for you to have more pronunciation and intonation practice. Con dence in your understanding of your material, and taking your time will make up for a lot of awkward English and hyper-nervousness. So will substantial practice presenting your report. Get enough sleep the night before. I have seen someone present a paper at a professional conference after running on adrenalin for a few days, then pass out and fall off the platform when he was asked a question.

Presentation Skills: Turning a Report into a Presentation
Source: www.images.google.co.id
Structure your talkWhen you are dealing with a lengthy report that will later become an oral presentation, it helps to break the material into several distinct parts, based on the structure you have de ned in your road map. That way, you can address each main idea as an entity, before moving on to the next idea. That will help your listeners better comprehend and remember each key idea. Pay attention here to transitions; these should provide a natural link from one idea or section to another. Your transitions can also serve both as a summary of each section and a glimpse of what is coming next. With a well-thought-out outline, building the body of your presentation should not pose a great challenge. You should now be able to move on logically, step-by-step, to your conclusion. Create a strong openerIt is essential that you begin any presentation with a strong opener. It is even more essential when your audience thinks it is about to sit through what could be a long, tedious exposition. You can quickly dispel any such notion with an opener that immediately grabs everyone's attention. So plan your opening comments carefully. Find something

in the report—a statement, a claim, a conclusion—that is likely to have a particular impact on this audience. That may require no more than going straight to the report's key conclusion, and stating it as concisely as you can. You may want to think of an elevator speech. Imagine you have got 10 seconds to make your pitch. What would you say? Once you have got the opener down cold, you can move on smoothly to the body of your presentation. Some more tips• Be clear about the time allotted for your presentation. • At the end of your presentation, summarize clearly and
emphatically the key conclusions and recommendations of your report.
• Be prepared for questions. Will you be addressing questions as they come up or will questions be held for a Q&A period at the end?
• Have back-up material in reserve in case you are questioned or challenged about parts of the report you did not include in your presentation.
• Have handouts ready to pass around after your presentation. You may decide to hand out the entire report or just portions of it, as appropriate.
• Rehearse in the room and with the equipment you will be using.

Employment in the restaurant industry has reached record-breaking levels in recent years. The restaurant industry employs millions of people and serves billions of meals, racking up billions of dollars in annual sales. More than 70 billion meals are eaten in restaurants, and schools, and work cafeterias each year. This year, restaurant industry sales are expected to reach $537 billion. In this booming industry, career prospects are strong because opportunities are increasing. Restaurants also help neighborhoods and communities thrive. Restaurants play an essential role in creating healthy communities by providing jobs, entertainment, convenience and a comfortable place for neighbors to meet, talk and relax. More than nine out of 10 restaurants are active in their communities. Restaurant owners themselves are often very involved in local charities and fund raising activities. I encourage each of you to strongly consider the restaurant industry when you think about your future—both immediate and long term. The restaurant industry is the industry of choice for enterprising, dedicated and adventuresome young people like yourselves. Every day, those of us in the restaurant industry face new challenges and have fresh opportunities to make a difference in our customers'.

Writing a Report
If you are asked to write a report, for example, analyzing the results of some research, summarizing articles, or interpreting statistics, your aim should be to present facts clearly so that the reader will understand the main points quickly.
Look at the • report below and notice how the information is divided up using headings.The style of • report is impersonal: it is not important who the writer is or what his or her opinion is.Notice whether you are told who the reader •is. This will help you decide how much you need to explain.
In many reports, the important •information involves numbers. Read the report again and nd out what these expression refer to:
50+50 two thirds eight out of tenfour 75% the majority5% a half a large majoritytwice three
Your style of writing will not be personal, but it need not be boring. Vary your language so that you do not overuse the same expressions. Think of other ways of saying the words and phrases that are written in dark type in the report below.
AimThe objective of the survey was to nd out whether shopping habits have changed since the building of the new suburban mall at Lake water, and to identify trends for the future.
MethodThe survey targeted four groups of people: (A) downtown residents, (B) suburban residents up to three miles from the center of town, (C) business owners in the central area of town, and (D) merchants in the new mall.
Shoppers received one questionnaire, while merchants received another. Researches visited 50 homes in the center of town and 50 in the suburbs as well as a cross section of stores in both locations.
ResultsSHOPPERS75% of all residents said that they had been to the new mall at least twice during the last month. Of these, the majority were from group B. Among the most popular reasons cited for shopping at
Lake water instead of downtown were the ample free parking there compared with the dif culties of parking there compared with the dif cults of parking in the center of town and the convenience of having a large number of stores in one location in the mall. Families in particular mentioned the Lake water children's play area as an important advantage.
In contrast, two thirds of those questioned in group A reported that they valued the convenience of being able to walk to the stores. Eight out of ten of the order shoppers surveyed said that their daily shopping trip was their only contact with other people. Moreover,they preferred the personal attention of the smaller stores compared with the anonymous atmosphere of the larger outlets. They were, however, concerned that prices were increasing.
MERCHANTSThe merchants in town have seen business drop off by up to a half, whereas Lake water business have recorded a steady increase in sales over

the year. When asked whether they viewed the future with optimism, a large majority of group D replied positively, while only 5% of group C said that they expected to see a growth in their business in the coming year.
ConclusionsThe opening of Lake water mall has clearly had a devastating effect on downtown shopping, and this trend seems set to continue.
Parking problems down ton have been a signi cant factor in changing people's habits. Mobile, better-off consumers are deserting the main street for the new mall, leaving downtown merchants to rely on the business of local residents, particularly the elderly and those without cars. As a result, many long-established businesses now face grave dif culties.

How the Microwave Oven Works
Microwaves are a form of energy similar to radio, television waves and ordinary daylight. Normally, microwaves spread outwards as they travel through the atmosphere and disappear without effect. Microwave

ovens, however, have a magnetron which is designed to make use of the energy in microwaves. Electricity, supplied to the magnetron tube, is used to create microwave energy. These microwaves enter the cooking area through openings inside the oven. A turntable or tray is located at the bottom of the oven. Microwaves cannot pass through metal walls of the oven, but they can penetrate such materials as glass, porcelain and paper, the materials out of which microwave-safe cooking dishes are constructed. Microwaves do not heat cookware, though cooking vessels will eventually get hot from the heat generated by the food.

"Did your grandmother post the letter herself?"10. "Did you iron your shirt yourself?"
Causative Verb HaveStudy the following sentences:1. I have the secretary type the letters.2. I had my brother carry my bag. To say that we arrange someone to do something for us, we use the structure of causative. In sentences 1 and 2 above, the verb 'have/had' is followed by indirect object (the secretary and my brother). In this causative sentence construction, we put the simple form of a verb after the indirect object.3. I have my shoes cleaned.4. I had my watch repaired. On the other hand, in sentences 3 and 4 the verb 'have/had' is followed by direct object (my shoes and my watch). Here, we use the structure 'have something done'. Those are the past participle's construction.

How to Write a User Manual A user manual is an important document to help a user understand any system in general. It can be a mobile phone or a software application to a full edged IT system. It is a general convention that any person well versed in English and having a good store of vocabulary can write a user manual but the assumption is entirely wrong. Proper research is needed before writing any article. Here is how to write a user manual. Modularity or use common words and avoid using incomplete phrases because your target readers can be diversed in their knowledge levels. Always identify the target audience rst and then document the manual as per them. If we are writing a user manual for accounting software, our target audience will be bankers who are not that technically sound. So if we are using dif cult technical terms, then they will not be able to follow it very easily. The next job is to identify what we need to write. De ne the terms, processes and techniques with a full description. Troubleshooting techniques is one of the most important reasons, why people refer to the user manual. So the user manual must cover in the minutest detail the troubleshooting tricks of every conceivable problem. Installation and
maintenance are also important reasons for referring a user manual so the chapters should also be covered in full details with related "frequently asked questions". The task of breaking bigger contents into smaller sub contents makes the user manual a light and easy to follow. Also, try numbering each and every step so that it is easy to redirect the user to other step at any moment. For example "in the installation section, there is a need to go to the product overview chapter at a particular step say 7th ", we can very well redirect the user to that step. The format of the user manual should also be made such that it appeals to the consumer so that they nd it easily to refer. Every user manual is comprised of certain essentials. The user manual must be indexed, clear where to nd the exact page for reference. Like any standard book, a preface should be added in the front of the manual which clearly outlines the scopes and goals of the user manual. The front page, disclaimer and copyright (if any) should also be mentioned in detail at the start of the manual.In a nutshell, writing a user manual is not a dif cult task if we identify our subject matter, our target audiences and present it in a modular and easy-to-follow manner.

Hotel Receptionist
When guests arrive at a hotel or call to make bookings, the hotel receptionist is usually the rst person they speak to. It is up to the recep-
tionist to make guests feel welcome and to deal ef ciently with enquiries. Their tasks are like-ly to include: allocating rooms to guests, tak-ing and passing on messages, putting together bills and taking payment, and handling foreign exchange, helping guests with requests, e.g. asking housekeeping for extra bedding or stor-ing valuables in the hotel safe.
In a large hotel, receptionists use a com-puter to handle reservations, and may also use a telephone switchboard. They may employ sales
skills to encourage guests to upgrade to a better room or eat in the restaurant, for example.
In larger hotels, there might be a small team of receptionists, each with speci c du-ties. In a small hotel, they might do non-re-ception tasks too-like serving drinks.
Reception desks in larger hotels often stay open all night, but in smaller hotels night-time duties might be taken over by the porter. Work-ing hours can include days, nights, weekends and public holidays. Receptionists might work shifts. There are opportunities for working part time or only in the holiday seasons.

Although receptionists do not need a high level of 31 , employers might ask for GCSEs/S grades or equivalent quali cations, 32 in English and Math. There are quali cations speci cally 33
at this kind of work, which can be studied full or part time at college. Some employers prefer mature people with experience of dealing with the public.
Many 34 hotels and chains have in-house training schemes that mean
receptionists can combine work with study at college, usually working towards an NVQ/SVQ.
Larger hotels and chains may offer more 35
prospects than small hotels. With experience and quali cations, receptionists could be promoted to jobs such as supervisor, head receptionist or reception manager. Receptionists could also move to different areas of hotel work.

We do have the type of room that you want. It costs Rp 1,100,000 per night. However, for the rst night of your stay only, I will have to give you a king-sized bed as there are no queens available that night. It costs an extra Rp 250,000. I hope this will suit you.

Lunch and dinner are also served and can be charged to your room for your convenience.

The Tiny Tots Toy CompanyJalan Ceningan Sari No. 50 Sesetan, Denpasar 80223
Dear Customer Service Representative: I recently purchased one of your Tiny Tents (Model #47485) for my three-year old daughter. Unfortunately, after viewing the components that came with the product, I discovered that four of the parts were missing. Also, the instructions that came with the tent are in Portuguese and Russian, but not in English or French, the two languages I speak. These two unforeseen problems have resulted in the tent remaining un assembled and unacceptable as a toy for my daughter. I am writing to request replacements for the missing parts, and a copy of the full set of assembly instructions (in English or French) for the model I purchased. If reasonable arrangements are not made within ten business days, I will return the tent to the store I purchased it from and expect a full refund. To assist you in processing my request, I am including a copy of my sales receipt and a list of the missing parts. I have purchased other toys manufactured by your company in the past, and have always been impressed with the quality and selection that Tiny Tots has made available to its customers. I sincerely hope this is a one-time incident, and that any future purchases I make will live up to the standard my family has come to expect from your company.

When creating business letters, use 8 1/2' by 11' unlined paper. Although 24-pound with 100+ brightness is a little more expensive, it will make a better impression than everyday copy paper. Use 1" margins on all four sides. Use a serif font such as Times Roman (12 point) or Georgia (11 point). A business letter should be single-spaced and if possible, typed on a computer. Print the letter on only one side of the paper.

fuse box
Mending a Fuse Every household electrical system has a fuse box
which contains fuses. Often a fuse wire burns out and you
will have to fi x a new fuse wire which can be bought at
an electrical or a hardware shop. You must always use the
same thickness of wire. To change the fuse wire, you will
fi rst have to open the fuse box. Next, fi nd the fuse carrier
with a new one. Always wind the wire in a clockwise
direction. Finally, put the carrier back, turn on the main
switch on the lights.

Know How to
A Standard Operating Procedure, or an "SOP," is a document containing instructions on how to perform a task. It ensures that routine jobs get performed safely and in compliance with applicable regulations. You can write an authoritative Standard Operating Procedure by following these steps.
Step 1:Ask employees using the SOP for their input on how the job should be performed. Expect the document to undergo several drafts before a nal can be generated. Have the employees themselves review the drafts for additional suggestions. Step 2:Prepare a rst draft. This draft should map out all necessary steps in the procedure. Determine if any large steps can be broken down into smaller steps. Create a simple ow chart to serve as a valuable rst draft.
Step 3:Write the rst page including a short introduction giving an overview of the entire job. This way, employees who normally read and perform one step at a time must preview the job from start to nish before beginning.
Step 4:Prepare a header on the rst page. It must include the company name and business unit logo, document title, date of
creation and speci c document number as assigned by document control personnel. Also include an issue number generated by change control. Step 5:Create a table directly under the header entitled, "Amendment History and Approvals." Include columns for the issue date of the SOP, description of changes and signatures for the SOP originator, department manager and the Quality Control manager. The description of changes brie y should summarize any revisions made to the SOP since its creation. Each revision must be signed by its initiator. Step 6:Begin the second page with the purpose of the SOP. Include its scope, the contents of the document, de nitions of terms or abbreviations used in the SOP, responsibilities of personnel involved in the procedure and references to documents the SOP relied upon, such as trade standards. Step 7:Finish the SOP by describing the procedure in short steps. Use simple language and avoid describing multiple steps in the same sentence. Once the task has been detailed, date the document and have it signed by the appropriate regulatory personnel. Email the SOP to the document control department and the manager responsible for implementing the procedure.

Read the following text and guess what the text is
about. Work in groups.
It is essential to understand that writing for a business context or audience can be distinctly different than writing in the humanities, social sciences, or other academic disciplines. Writing for business. It should be to the point, speci c and accurate.
In most cases, the business letter will be the rst impression that you make on someone. For this reason it is important that you are diligent in your task of writing an effective business document. Even though business writing is possibly less formal than it once was, your writing must still adhere to the conventions of standard American English by using conventional spelling and standard grammatical forms.
Business writing varies from the chatty, conversational style often found in e-mail messages to a familiar co-worker, to the more formal, legalistic style found in contracts. In the majority of memos, e-mail messages, and letters, a style between these two extremes is appropriate. Always remember, writing that is too formal can alienate readers, and an overly obvious attempt to be causal and informal may strike the reader as insincere or unprofessional. In business writing, as in all writing, knowing your audience is critical.

Although the block format is somewhat more common, (perhaps because it is easier) either one is acceptable all conventional formats contain the same features.Taken from www.factosearch.com

‘Dear’ is used to open all letters. Write ‘Dear Sir’ if you are writing to a person whose name you do not know, and ‘Dear Sirs’ if you are addressing your letter to a company.
With the addres, include the name of the company, and the person in the company to whom you want your letter to be given.
This is a useful expression. It can be used when you are asking for something in a formal letter. The words ‘look forward to’ are always followed by a verb ending in -ing.
You write enc below your name to show you are sending another document with the letter.
If you are addressing the person by name (eg’Dear Mrs Bennet’), use ‘Yours sincerely’ instead.
If you are giving your telephone number leave a line space between it and your address.

I recently purchased a few pairs of boots from your company for my crew. Though my men were initially satis ed with the boots, the soles began to fall apart on them after just twelve weeks. This was extremely surprising considering they came with a six year warranty. The boots are unsafe to wear because my men are pouring hot concrete. Please respond as soon as possible with instructions on how I can return the boots and receive a refund.

Dear Mr. Trimbald,
Thank you for your e-mail concerning the poor quality of our rubber soled black workboots. A representative will be by your of ce next week to pick up the damaged boots. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you and your crew. Along with ve new pairs of workboots for your crew (we included one extra pair), we have enclosed a free year's supply of sole protector spray. In our retail stores, this spray is always recommended to buyers who work on heated oors. This should have been brought to your attention at the time of your initial order (received by telephone on October 12, 2006). Please excuse our oversight. To date we have had no complaints about these workboots from customers who have used the protector spray. However, should you use the spray and nd that you are still unsatis ed with the boots, please return the boots and spray for a full refund. Thank you for supporting The Shoe People. Have a Happy New Year.
Sincerely,
Stan Mason, President Stan Mason

Board of Directors Meeting(Managing Director's Speech)
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen.We have assembled here today on a very important schedule of agenda. There are two main points which we have to decide conclusively. The rst is the amalgamation of our company with our competitor company, and the second is the choice of management. There are indicators, that our main rival company is willing to amalgamate with us. If this happens, then we would be controlling about 70 percent of the market and our separate advertisem*nt costs as well as our competitive sales commissions would go down. We would be saving costs by that way. Secondly, though amalgamation will be a pro table proposition for both our companies, the question of management is the main issue. We can decide by votes in Directors' meeting as to who or rather which company of cial will
157Listening Script
be recommended for the top executive post in the merged company. Alternatively, we can make it a rule that each company will have the top administrator by turn, one after the other, year by year. This would appear to be a good arrangement, the only aw being that the change of the top executive so often might not be a better plan for the continuity of the company policies, and the management of its affairs. Nonetheless, we must decide these issues nally today, because day after tomorrow, I would
be having lunch with the managing director of the other company. The Financial managers of both our companies would also be present. Therefore, gentlemen tell me now what interactions I should have with my counterpart, so that after we have talked things over as the preliminary round, we may hold a joint meeting of the boards of directors of the two companies. That is all Gentlemen, we would meet again after lunch when I could have your uniform opinion on the issues.Thank you, Gentlemen.
