Text 1

The Jakarta Police are warning motorists in the capital city 1. (again/ against/ agenda) using cell-phones while 2. (driven/ drive/ driving), saying a newly endorsed 3. (legal/ law/ theory) gives the police authority to fine 4. (offenders/ offences/ offends) Rp 750,000 ($79) or a three-month jail term.


Senior Supt. Condro Kirono, the police’s traffic division director, said the 2009 Law on Traffic and Road Transport, which 5. (expects/ is expecting/ is expected) to go into effect the following year, did not specifically address the issue of drivers using a cellular phone, but 6. (to stress/ stressing/ stressed) that the law obliged drivers 7. (to concentrate/ concentrating/ concentrated) while behind the wheel. “It means that they mustn’t use cell-phones or drink alcohol while driving and must 8. (to focus/ focus/ focusing) on the road,” Condro was quoted as saying by a news portal.


Police and related government units around the 9. (nation/ national/ nationalities) are still sending out information about the new traffic and transportation law. “This will have a big impact on drivers’ 10. (safe/ safer/ safety) because using phones while driving can lead to 11. (actions/ accidents/ accents) ,” Condro said, adding that motorists could use a hands-free device to make a call.


Danang Parikesit, secretary general of the Indonesian Transportation Society (MTI), said early December that 12. (banning/ pausing/ stopping) drivers from talking on the phone while driving was a positive step. Danang added, however, that the legal 13. (base/ basic/ basis) of the ban wasn’t clear. The traffic and transportation law, according to Danang, does not mention of either fine or 14. (detention/ detection/ direction). “Therefore, this positive initiative can’t be 15. (implements/ implementing/ implemented) just yet,” he said.

SPOONERISM

SPOONERISM

Have you ever tried to say something but then it happened that the speaking ‘got accident’ ? It doesn’t come out as you expected.

It is called Spoonerism.

Well, still don’t get it?

Okay, here is an example :

“Mam., last night, I had a dad brim!” Do you know what the meaning is? I don’t! unless I had to think hardly that he got an ‘accident’.

Then I realized that he was trying to say,” Mam, I had a bad dream”!

---

Where is the term “Spoonerism” after?

The Reverend Dr W A Spooner was a very important man in Oxford University but he used to have accidents in speaking. He often changed the beginning of two words like this :

# We all know the feeling when we have a half-warmed fish in our hearts.

( He meant to say a half-formed wish)

# Kinkering Kongs their titles take.

(the first line of a religious song, or hymn, is really Conquering kings their titles take.)

So Dr Spooner’s name forms part of the name we give to accidents of that kind: spoonerism.

Here are examples that the dictionaries give when they explain the word spoonerism.

· Let me sew you to a sheet (for: show you to a seat)

Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English)

· You have hissed the mystery of lectures. (for : missed the history)

Concise Oxford Dictionary

· Start your journey with a well-boiled icicle. (for a well-oiled bicycle)

Oxford Advanced Learner’sDictionary

(Icicle : dripping water that has frozen to form a point of ice)

· This country owes much to its horny-handed tons of soil.

(for sons of toil)

Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary

Toil : hard work

· Our queer dean! (for dear Queen)

Encyclopedic World Dictionary

Queer : very unusual

Dean : important man in the church or a university.

Here are some spoonerisms for you to work out:

· He stopped at the gate, “High mause!” he said proudly.

· “ I’m sad to glee you”

· The trast lane goes at nidmight.”

· I’m going to fight the liar because it’s crowing gold.”
