Different Economic System
Not
all economic system is the same. The aconomic system of the USA differs greatly
from the system of the USSR. The American system is based on private enterprise
with private ownership of the means of production, while Russian system in
communistic and is based upon the principle of Karl Max, the 19th century
political economist. The economic idiologies of these two nations contrast very
strongly. Britain is similiar to the
USA. It has an economic system based on private enterprise and private supplies
of capital, which can be defined as surplusincome available for investment in
new bussines activities. Property in both the US and Britain can be owned by
individual citizens exercise considerable economic freedomS of choice. They can
choose what they want to do and how they want to earn their living.

2. Parallel
structure
One
use of a conjunction is to connect words or phrases that have the same
grammatical function in a sentence. This use of conjunction is called parallel
structure. The conjunction used in this pattern are and, but, or, nor.
a.
Steve and his friends are coming for dinner
in (a) : noun + and + noun
b.
Susan raised her hand, and snapped her finger
In (b) : verb + and + verb
c.
He is waving his arms, and (is) shouting at us.
In ( c) : verb + and +verb
(the second auxiliary
may be omitted if id is the same as the first auxiliary)
d.
These shoes are old but comfortable.
In (d) : adjective + but + adjective
e.
He wants to watch TV or (to) listen to music
In (e) : infinitive + or + infinitive
(the second to may be
omitted)
f.
Steve, Joe and Alice are coming to dinner
g.
Susan raised her hand , snapped her
finger and asked a question
h.
The colors in that fabric are red, gold,
black and green
A parallel structure
may contain more than two parts. In a series, commas are used to separate each
unit. The final comma that precedes the conjunction is optimal but is
customarily used.(no comma is used when there are only two parts to a parallel
structure)
Example:
1. He
does some business in France, Canada and England
2. In
order to understand economics, we have to read, discuss and do
economic activities.
3. Selling,
buying and negotiating are basic economic
activities

The Analysis ;
From the content of the modul that used in Faculty of
Economic, University of
Lancang Kuning. The content of the modul had discribe all
materials of what the lecture will explain. English in economics module discusses
the grammer structure of language were
economic in particular. Started from the basic economic , the vocabularry that
used, and also the term language are usualy the economic people used. But overall
after I had leran about English for spesific purpose, for my analysist this
module is not really good be a term material to teach in University. The
vocabularry is too general for Economic major. Example :-Management,- Economic
,-Production .I think that words is so familiar for all people. The content
of the module just had a litlle
materials for Economic languages. Content about language as a basic for ESP
uses such as ; Speech Acts, Sosial Interaction, and Word used for
discipline-spesific meanings is not included in this module.
Technical term In Economic English there are

The analysis of the termword :
There is a part of the term word ar sentences in Economic language. That is
specific used by people on Economic major , used in their special areas. For
the spesicif major like in Economic is better good if they or the lecture used
spesicif and related words, sentence, or language that can more support them
when studied on their ways. Like the example
of Basic Financial statement ( laporan
keuangan pokok) that is just used by economic people. Word Investment,
management,
and judgment we often
hear in the economic. English in this economic is interonnected,
but the above example was made of how the incorporation of the words become a
word intact so as to produce words related to the economic.
