CHAPTER

RESEARCH
2.1
Definition of a passage
A passage is a part of a paragraph but a passage is not a
paragraph. Within in a paragraph is a passage. We should understand first about
a passage before we are drawing conclusion or making inference from a passage.
A passage contain many points or the information that very important from a
paragraph or a story. A passage has main points of the Author’s paragraph or
the Author’s story, the Author’s reasons, and Author’s opinion in a paragraph
or in a story.
2.2
Definition of a conclusion
Conclusions
and inferences are synonymous terms. That's why the definition of inferences
first offered up almost fifty years ago by S.I. Hayakawa in his book “Language in Thought and Action” fits
conclusions as well. Like inferences, conclusions are statements. Inference is an idea that is suggested by the facts or details in
a passage. Conclusion is a
decision about what may happen or about the result an event may have. Making an
inference and drawing a conclusion are very similar skills. Each requires the
reader to fill in blanks left out by the author. An author may not include
information for several reasons: they may think you already know it, it may not
seem important to them, or they may want you to find the result. By a passage
we can make conclusions.
2.3
Drawing conclusion from a passage
In focus on Drawing Conclusion from a passage. In this papers, you will read two
passage. You will practice using the reading strategy called Drawing Conclusion
from a passage. You will learn about the strategy on the Learn About pages. You
will see two sample passages. Then you will practice using the strategy in two
passages. After you finish reading the passage. Follow the strategy or the way
below and make understand, and then practice to draw a conclusion from two
passages in this papers. But before reading the passage, let’s read the
strategy or the way bellow .
This is the strategy or the way
to make an inference or draw a conclusion :
1.
Firstly
observe all the facts, arguments, and information given by the author.
2.
Secondly
consider what you already know from your own experiences.
3.
When
faced with multiple choice answers, determine whether each is true or false
based on the information in the passage.
This is a sample of passage :
The
woman waited nervously in line. When the counter was empty, she carefully
unloaded her items from her cart. Lines creased her forehead as if to show the
calculations ringing up in her head. Finally, the cashier began ringing up the
items as the woman clutched her purse.
Inference/conclusion: The
woman may not have enough money to cover the cost of her groceries.
4.
Think
about the facts of the passage and what may result from them.
5.
Think
about causes and effects.
The writer may only provide a list of effects, so you have to
figure out the cause.
The
child stood on the sidewalk clenching her ice cream cone. Beads of sweat
collected on her little nose as she furiously licked at the ice cream dripping
down her hand.
Inference/conclusion:
It must me a hot day because her ice cream is melting, and she is sweating.
·
Try
saying “If …then”
If the
girl is sweating, then it may be warm outside.
Remember :
·
Most
writing suggests more than it says.
·
By
making inferences, you get more from the story .
·
Conclusions
may be missing from the things you read, so you have to draw your own.
Let’s try to draw conclusion from this other type of a passage :
I found “it” in the middle of the
sidewalk on my way home from school once bring morning. “It” was very tiny and
‘it” was hardly breathing when I picked “it” I fed “it” raw meat and other
treats for several weeks. Soon, “it” became strong and started to hope arroud.
One day, some left a window open when I came home from work, I discovered that
“it” was disappeared.
What is “ it ” ?
Underline
the idea in the paragraph which help you to make this inference. The ability to
make inference is very important in reading. You often need to infer the topic
or main idea of a text, the Autor’s opinion, or other information.
Inferring information :
They are
many situation in real life when you need to make inferences. If you meet a
passage above, you should try to use information that is given to guess what is
missing.
Based on two samples of passages above, we has known that we need
to infer the topic or main idea of a text, the Author’s opinion, or other
information. So when we draw conclusion from a passage we should understand
about the passage and we should understand about reading passage. We should
know there are many situation in real life when we need to make inferences. Without
understand about a paragraph because just reading passage will help the readers
to find the information that is missing in a paragraph and the readers be able
to drawing conclusion from a passage easily.
