period, identified, income, analysis, benefit.
By the analysis of income, economists has successfully identified a large number of benefits in terms of the UKM products’ sales rate in several rural areas during a period of 10 years from 2008-2018.
Major, Required, Identified, Concept, Assessment
A region required a major concept that identified problems and society basic needs based on a risk assessment by an independent institution.
1. I’m not sure a ‘concept’ can ‘identify’ something. Isn’t it something or someone that identifies a concept. 2. ‘required’ is often used as a noun modifier: ‘required risk assessment’. 3. ‘society’ is not used to pre-modify a noun – instead ‘social’ is used: ‘basic social needs’. For post-modification use ‘basic needs of society’. 4. It might be easier to fit your 5 words into more than one sentence!😉
Thanks Pak Guru..
😊
Derived, Involved, Sector, Contract, Distribution
Indonesia government derived money from some contracts of the distribution of assets with private sectors, involved in transportation and tourism.
Almost! Try Googling “Indonesia government” and “private sectors”. Notice article use and word form.
The Indonesian government……the private sector….
😊
That’s it!👏🏻
Evidence, Export, Consistent, Authority, Involved
A consistent increase of the number of seaweed export in some areas in NTT provides evidence that the local authorities, involved in making rules, have a significant influence on macroeconomics.
Fantastic! Increase + in; more than one export?
…. increase in…… seaweed exports….
Thanks for the correction Pak Guru..😊
👍🏻
Function, Contract, Role, Theory, Definition
According to the theory of law, a contract must has obvious definitions in term of rights, duties, roles, and functions between 2 companies who cooperated.
Couple of things..
cooperated – past simple tense, needs past simple time expression. Unless you’re talking about something that is always true – in that case use present simple tense.
must + v1
Specific-Issues-Percent-Context-Legislation
The context of planning budget in legislation is about specific issues in health and education, almost 50 percent.
Very well done Anak Murid! A couple of comments..
1. ‘almost 50 percent’ doesn’t cohere very well with the rest of the sentence. Next time try using either a relative clause or a participle phrase: ‘which represent almost 50 percent.’; ‘representing almost 50 percent.’
2. The sentence might make more sense with ‘budget’ as the subject: “Budget planning in legislation is about specific issues in the context of health and education…”
Try another? 😉
Thanks Pak Guru.. how about this..
” In Indonesia plastic bags and air polution are specific issues in the context of the environment, representing almost 50 percent, that could only be tackled by strict legislation.
Nice! Except that here it’s not clear what the 50 percent refers to – 50 percent of what? Try adding ‘..of blah blah,’.
Also you say ‘could’, which means you’re not sure. Maybe ‘can’ is better?
Thanks Pak Guru..
