PART 2
SETTING : A farmer and fisherman are talking about their condition. They complain to each other. They feel that it is very difficult to get money for their living.
Farmer        : It seems to me that this life is very hard, very difficult. My rice needs fertilizer but I don’t have any money to buy it. Uh, I’m very confused…
Fisherman   : Yeah, so am I. You know, I cannot go to the sea. I cannot sail to look for fishes. No money to buy fuel, no money to repair my boat and fishing equipments.
Farmer        : So, what are we going to do?
Fisherman   : I don’t know…
(The Non Government Teacher is coming)
NGT           : Hi, anybody wants to join with me?
Farmer        : Where?
NGT           : There is a campaign for the legislator election today. Who knows, we can get money from the candidate (smiling).
Farmer        : How about you, are you interested?
Fisherman   : Emm, okay. You’re right. Who knows we can get money…
NGT           : All right. Let’s go…!
(They are going to the campaign place)

PART 3
SETTING : In the campaign, the candidate is speaking in front of people. He is trying to influence the people to choose him as the member of the House of People’s Representatives. He promises to make this country better than before.
Candidate : In the name of God, I ask you all… Choose me to be the legislator of the House of People’s Representatives. Choose me if you want to make this country better than before. Let me tell you, if I become the legislator… I will dedicate my life for this country. There are no more corruption, collusion, and nepotism!! So, don’t forget… choose me by giving checklist mark, or ‘contreng’ on the candidate no 1, party no 50: ‘Partai Sembako’…!!!2
Farmer        : Really? You know, I often hear what you’ve said. Many candidates say it. Many candidates give promise like you. But, what they’ve said is… nonsense! Bullshit!!
Fisherman   : Yes. After you have become the member of the House of People’s Representatives… you will forget us. You will only think about yourself!
Candidate : Oh, no… I’m different with them. I will not only give you promise, but I will also give you evidence. Yeah, I will prove it. I will make my promise come true.
Laborer       : Wait! As a laborer, I also want to improve my life. But, what for do we choose you, if you cannot make our life better than before?
NGT           : Yes, right. How do we know that you will able to develop and make this country better? As a non-government teacher, I would like to ask you: What is your planning to improve our life?
Candidate : Ok, all right. Let me explain my programs. First, I will emphasize on the improvement of our economy. To the farmers and fishermen, I will give funds and easy-credits… so they can buy fertilizers and sailing equipments easily. To the laborers and government civil servants (PNS), I will increase their salary… so they can improve their life. My second program is fighting against corruption, collusion and nepotism! So there are no more corruption, collusion, and nepotism…!
(The farmer, fisherman, laborer and NGT then keep nodding. It seems that they agree with the candidate)
Laborer       : I’m sorry. Excuse me. But, how do we know that you will keep your promise? How do we know that you will make it come true?
Candidate : I see. Don’t worry about it. I said that I would make your life better. And now… I’m going to prove it. Listen! Yeah, now, now… I give you money!! Here you         are…
(The candidate gives some money to the farmer, fisherman, laborer and NGT)
Candidate : Okay? Do you believe me now? So, don’t forget to choose me… give checklist mark, give ‘contreng’ at the candidate no 1, party no 50: ‘Partai Sembako’…!!
(The farmer, fisherman, laborer and NGT then say and yell together: “Yes, yesss…”!!)
(The campaign is finished. The famer, fisherman, laborer and NGT are going away. The candidate is sitting alone, smiling to himself)
Candidate : (saying/mumbling to him) yeah, they’re actually right. After I have become a legislator, I will forget all my promises. I only think of myself. I only think how to get power and… to get my money back! That’s my purpose. That’s politics! Huahaha…!!
(the wife is coming)
Wife           : Why do you smile by yourself?
Candidate  : What an appointed day!
Wife           : You shouldn’t do that. How if there will something happen?
Candidate  : don’t worry honey!
Wife           : I just don’t want anything happen to you, me and our daughter.

PART 4
SETTING : One year later. The farmer and the fisherman feel that there is no change to their life. It is still very difficult to improve their condition.
Farmer        : I hate being a farmer like this!
Fisherman   : (laughing) Yeah, I often think like that. I am also bored to be a fisherman. There is no change to our condition. We still lack of money.
Farmer        : Wait. Do you remember our legislator?
Fisherman   : You mean… the candidate on the election last year?
Farmer        : Yes. Let’s go to find him. He promised that he would help us
Fisherman   : Wait a minute. How if he breaks his promise? How if he doesn’t want to help us?
Farmer        :  Don’t say like that. Let’s try!
Fisherman   : But, what will we do if we fail, and he doesn’t want to keep his promise?
Farmer        : Mm… I don’t know. We think it later.
Fisherman   : (nodding)  All right. I’m with you
Farmer        : Now, let’s find him!

PART 5
SETTING : The farmer and fisherman go to Mr. Candidate’s house. They are debating with the legislator (candidate).
Farmer        : (Knocking the door) Excuse me, is there Mr. Brown?
Wife           : What do you want?
Farmer        : Better talk directly with the Mr. Brown.
Wife           : Hold a minute. (Wife is entering the house)
                    My Husband, there are guests.
(Legislator comes to meet them)
Legislator   : I understand your condition. I know that you chose me on the election last year. But, it doesn’t mean that I should give you money directly…
Farmer        :  Why not? You said it in your campaign.
Legislator   : If you want to improve your life, you must work… You must work hard!
Fisherman   : Listen, we don’t need advice anymore. What we need is your help, your real action to give us fund…
Farmer        : Yes, I need fertilizers.
Fisherman   : I need fuel and fishing equipments.
Legislator   : Oh, no. That’s enough. Listen to me, you must try by yourselves. If you want to get fertilizers, fuel and fishing equipments… you must pay with your own money. Once again, try to improve by yourselves!
Farmer        : It means that… you break your promise!
Legislator   : Come on… I don’t want to talk about it anymore. It’s over. Sorry, I have a meeting today. See you later…
Fisherman   : Wait, wait! You… liar! I hate you!!
(The legislator keeps going away)
Wife           : Why noisy here? What’s wrong?
Legislator   : Nothing, just unimportant people.
Wife           : Don’t be like that my husband, you are a legislator, you must serve the people well.

(The laborer and NGT are coming)
NGT           : What’s going on?
Farmer        : Our legislator has broken his promise. He doesn’t keep his words.
Fisherman   : His promise is nonsense! Bullshit!!
Laborer       : So, what are we going to do?
Farmer        : Mm, I don’t know.
NGT           : How if we burn his house?
Laborer       : How if we kidnapped his wife?
NGT           : But his wife doesn’t have mistake in this case.
Fisherman   : You know, I hate him! Liar! I want to kick him…
NGT           : No, no… It’s not a good way. Let me tell you… You had better report the legislator to the police. I will help you to make the report.
Laborer       : That’s a good idea. But, we need a reason that he has broken his the law.
NGT           : I can handle it. Do you remember what he did in the campaign last year? He gave us money. You know, it’s a kind of ‘money politics. That’s the point.
Farmer        : I see…
Fisherman   : Okay. I really hate him. He is a liar. I want to throw him into the jail!
Laborer       : (Smiling) so, let’s go to the police…
(All of them are leaving, going to the police office)

Because of Legislator’s dishonesty, Mr. Brown is arrested and entered to jail by people. The community is appointed because Mr. Brown has got the proportionate punishment.

Metafunctions
Halliday developed a theory of the fundamental functions of language, in which he analysed lexicogrammar into three broad metafunctions: ideational, interpersonal and textual. Each of the three metafunctions is about a different aspect of the world, and is concerned with a different mode of meaning of clauses. The ideational metafunction is about the natural world in the broadest sense, including our own consciousness, and is concerned with clauses as representations. The interpersonal metafunction is about the social world, especially the relationship between speaker and hearer, and is concerned with clauses as exchanges. The textual metafunction is about the verbal world, especially the flow of information in a text, and is concerned with clauses as messages. Malinowski's influence (see Figure 1.1) seems clear here: the ideational metafunction relates to the context of culture, the interpersonal metafunction relates to the context of situation, and the textual metafunction relates to the verbal context.
In each metafunction an analysis of a clause gives a different kind of structure composed from a different set of elements. In the ideational metafunction, a clause is analysed into Process, Participants and Circumstances, with different participant types for different process types (as in Case Grammar). In the interpersonal metafunction, a clause is analysed into Mood and Residue, with the mood element further analysed into Subject and Finite. In the textual metafunction, a clause is analysed into Theme and Rheme (as in the Prague School).

Figure 1.7: Metafunctional layering
Figure 1.7, taken from [Matthiessen & Bateman 1991], shows an analysis of the sentence ``In this job, Anne, we're working with silver'' into three different structures in the three metafunctions. This kind of diagram is called a ``metafunctional layering'' diagram in SFG, but the metafunctions do not have any kind of relative ``depth'', rather they are different dimensions.
The metafunctional theory is part of the ``functional'' side of SFG, but it is also important in the ``systemic'' side of SFG. Each metafunction has a principal system in the networks for clauses, verbal groups and nominal groups. For example the TRANSITIVITY system is the principal system for the ideational metafunction in the clause network. These principal systems are shown in Figure 1.8, taken from [Matthiessen & Bateman 1991].
\begin{figure}\renewedcommand{baselinestretch}{1}\small\normalsize\begin{center}...
... MODIFICATION & PERSON & DETERMINATION \\
\end{tabular}\end{center}\end{figure}
Figure 1.8: Principal systems
An important theoretical point is that in general, in the system networks, the systems within each metafunction are closely interconnected, but are largely independent of systems in the other metafunctions. System interconnections across metafunctions are rare. This is illustrated in Figure 1.9, taken from [Matthiessen & Halliday to appear].

Figure 1.9: Independence of metafunctions
In this network fragment, there are normal dependency relationships within the MOOD region of the interpersonal metafunction, between the MOOD-TYPE and INDICATIVE-TYPE systems and between the INDICATIVE-TYPE and INTERROGATIVE-TYPE systems, and there is also a further interconnection: the TAGGING system can be entered either from the imperative feature of the MOOD-TYPE system or from the declarative feature of the INDICATIVE-TYPE system. But there are no interconnections at all between the MOOD region of the interpersonal metafunction and the TRANSITIVITY region of the ideational metafunction.

Metafunctions
From early on in his account of language, Halliday has argued that it is inherently functional. His early papers on the grammar of English make reference to the "functional components" of language, as "generalized uses of language, which, since they seem to determine the nature of the language system, require to be incorporated into our account of that system." [11] Halliday argues that this functional organization of language "determines the form taken by grammatical structure" [12]
Halliday refers to his functions of language as metafunctions. He proposes three general functions: the ideational, the interpersonal and the textual.
Ideational metafunction
The ideational metafunction is the function for construing human experience. It is the means by which we make sense of "reality"[13]. Halliday divides the ideational function into two functions: the logical and the experiential metafunctions. The logical metafunction refers to the grammatical resources for building up grammatical units into complexes, for instance, for combining two or more clauses into a clause complex. The experiential function refers to the grammatical resources involved in construing the flux of experience through the unit of the clause.
The ideational metafunction reflects the contextual value of "field", that is, the nature of the social process in which the language is implicated[14]. An analysis of a text from the perspective of the ideational function involves inquiring into the choices in the grammatical system of "transitivity": that is, process types, participant types, circumstance types, combined with an analysis of the resources through which clauses are combined together. Halliday's An Introduction to Functional Grammar (in the third edition, with revisions by Christian Matthiessen)[15] sets out the description of these grammatical systems.
Interpersonal metafunction
The interpersonal metafunction relates to a text's aspects of tenor or interactivity.[16] Like field, tenor comprises three component areas: the speaker/writer persona, social distance, and relative social status.[17] Social distance and relative social status are applicable only to spoken texts.[18] Note - this is not so, looking at the text of O´Halloran we are told that we no longer have the option to contrast the various speakers but we can examine "how the individual authors present themselves to the reader", therefore, we are able to look at social distance and relative social status in texts where there is only one author.
The speaker/writer persona concerns the stance, personalisation and standing of the speaker or writer. This involves looking at whether the writer or speaker has a neutral attitude, which can be seen through the use of positive or negative language. Social distance means how close the speakers are, e.g. how the use of nicknames shows the degree to which they are intimate. Relative social status asks whether they are equal in terms of power and knowledge on a subject, for example, the relationship between a mother and child would be considered unequal. Focuses here are on speech acts (e.g. whether one person tends to ask questions and the other speaker tends to answer), who chooses the topic, turn management, and how capable both speakers are of evaluating the subject.[19]
Textual metafunction
The textual metafunction relates to mode; the internal organisation and communicative nature of a text.[20] This comprises textual interactivity, spontaneity and communicative distance.[21]
Textual interactivity is examined with reference to disfluencies such as hesitators, pauses and repetitions.
Spontaneity is determined through a focus on lexical density, grammatical complexity, coordination (how clauses are linked together) and the use of nominal groups. The study of communicative distance involves looking at a text’s cohesion—that is, how it hangs together, as well as any abstract language it uses.
Cohesion is analysed in the context of both lexical and grammatical as well as intonational aspects[22] with reference to lexical chains[23] and, in the speech register, tonality, tonicity, and tone.[24] The lexical aspect focuses on sense relations and lexical repetitions, while the grammatical aspect looks at repetition of meaning shown through reference, substitution and ellipsis, as well as the role of linking adverbials.
Systemic functional grammar deals with all of these areas of meaning equally within the grammatical system itself.

1. Short History Course LP3I Center (LCC)
LP3I Course Center is a division Short Courses (Short Course) from the Institute for Education and Professional Development Indonesia (LP3I) which was founded in 1989 by the Foundation for Education and Professional Development Institute of Indonesia (Yayasan LP3I), then follow the development of educational efforts and conditions legislation in force in the Republic of Indonesia.
Seeing the development of the company and market needs such a rapid and complex then separates division LP3I Short Courses (Short Course) becomes LP3I Courses on December 28, 2006, with the form or status of a Limited Liability Company PT. Lantern Education and Professional Development Indonesia ("PT. LP3I") established pursuant to Deed of Company Limited No. 5 On 5 November 2005.
To meet the needs of the community will be short of quality education and produce graduates who are skilled and reliable, then LP3I Courses Center have developed a short training and education programs are more targeted and tutoring programs.
