Verb = -ing or to… (3) (like / would like etc.)

A. Like love hate can’t bear enjoy dislike mind can’t stand
There verb and expressions all mean ‘like’ or’ not like’. They are often followed by –ing :
• Ann hates flying.
• Why do you dislike living here?
• I don’t like people shouting at me. (=I don’t like being shouted at.)
After love, hate and can’t bear, you can also use to…. So you can say :
• I love meeting people. Or I love to meet people.
• She can’t bear being alone. Or she can’t bear to be alone.
But after enjoy / dislike / mind / can’t stand, we use only –ing (not ‘to …’):
• I enjoy being alone. (not ‘I enjoy to be’)
• Tom doesn’t mind working at night. (not ‘mind to work’)
B. Like
You can say ‘l like doing something’ or’ l like to do something.’ Often it doesn’t matter which you use, so you can say :
• I like getting up early. Or I like to get up early.
In British English, there is sometimes a difference between ‘I like doing’ and ‘I like to do.’ ‘I like to do something’ mean’ I enjoy it’:
• Do you like cooking? (= do you enjoy it?)
• I like living here. (= I enjoy it)
‘I like to do something’ means ‘I think it is good or right to do it’:
• I like to clean the kitchen as often as possible. (this doesn’t mean that I enjoy it, it means that I think it is a good thing to do.)
• Mary likes people to be on time.
C. Would like / would love / would hate / would prefer are usually followed by to… (infinitive)
• I would like to be rich.
• Would you like to come to dinner on Friday?
• I’d love (=would love) to be able to travel round the world.
• Would you prefer to have dinner now or later?
Compare I like and I would like :
• I like playing / to play tennis. (=I enjoy it in general)
• I would like to play tennis today. (= I want to play today)
Note that would mind is followed by –ing (not to…):
• Would you mind closing the door, please?
D. You can also say’ I would like to have done something’ (= I regret now that I didn’t or couldn’t do something):
• It’s a pity we didn’t. see Val when we were in London. I would like to have seen her again.
• We’d like to have gone on holiday but we didn’t have enough money.
You can use the same structure after would live / would hate / would prefer :
• Poor old Tom! I would hate to have been in his position.
• I’d love to have gone to the party but it was impossible.

YOUR PURPOSE, YOUR CHOICE

Tahun ajaran baru udah di mulai lagi. Akan ada banyak wajah-wajah baru tampil di kampus alias mahasiswa baru. Di dunia baru ini, bagi mahasiswa baru akan banyak sekali tawaran-tawaran gabung dengan organisasi yang ada. Tapi ternyata, selidik punya selidik, minat mahasiswa saat ini buat ikut organisasi sangat miris sekali, kurang lebih hanya 30 % saja yang aktif berorganisasi. Kebanyakan alasannya karena takut nilai IP (Indeks Prestasi)nya jeblok. Padahal kegiatan kita dikampus yang harus dicapai itu bukan hanya nyari nilai aja lho! tapi ada tiga hal yang sangat krusial alias penting yaitu:
1. nyari nilai
hal ini untuk kebanyakan orang harus menjadi nomor wahid, karena selain menjadi pembuktian diri apakah seseorang itu mampu biasanya dilihat dari nilai yang diperolehnya, tapi juga sebagai pembuktian diri kepada orang tua bahwa kita dikuliahin ga sia-sia.
2. nyari ilmu
dalam point ini, pemikiran kita kudu lebih jauh. Karena nyari ilmu itu bukan hanya baca buku tebel-tebel yang isinya cuma teori-teori aja, tapi juga kita perlu ilmu tambahan. Bersyukurlah karena sobat diberi kesempatan buat kuliah, so puas-puasin dech, jangan sampe waktu kita terbuang percuma. Masih banyak ilmu-ilmu lain diluar kelas yang masih berserakan. Contohnya ikut organisasi yang bisa nambahin ilmu, khususnya dalam praktek. Banyak sekali ilmu yang bisa kita ambil yang ga akan kita dapet kalo cuma baca buku doank.
3. nyari rekan
mencari rekan bukan berarti mencari pacar yach (awas jangan negative thinking!!). ikut organiasasi juga sangat penting lho coz dengan bergabungnya di salah satu organisasi maka akses untuk berhubungan dengan orang lain makin bertambah banyak. Biasanya organisasi itu suka kerjasama dengan lintas kampus, lembaga, dll. Secara ga langsung juga kita udah ngejalanin sunah Rasul untuk menjalin silaturahim yaitu melalui organisasi ini.
Tapi ternyata bukan hanya nilai aja lho yang jadi kendala buat ikut organisasi tapi juga katanya ga bisa bagi waktu!!. Sobat, bukannya ngatur waktu juga termasuk salah satu pembelajaran? Waduh……… masa sich ngatur waktu aja masih ga bisa. Udah Mahasiswa gitu lho! ! !
Kata orang bijak mah waktu yang lalu itu tak akan kembali lagi. Jadi sayang donk! Warnai kuliahmu dengan segala fasilitas yang udah disediain oleh kampus, sayang donk udah bayar mahal-mahal tapi ga manfaatin apa-apa yang ada di kampus, contohnya ya organisasi-organisasi.
Faktor terakhir ni sebenernya mau ikutan organisasi tapi katanya ga bisa lah, ga punya pengalaman lah. Tapi masih mending yang ini coz dia udah punya hasrat ikutan. Sobat, kata orang bule mah skill comes with experiences. Ngarti ga nih?hehe. tenang sobat keterampilan itu sambil jalan. Dengan banyaknya pengalaman-pengalaman yang dialami di organisasi, akan semakin mengerti dengan dunia organisasi, asal aktif aja ikutan organisasinya.
Nah kalo udah mutusin mau ikut organisasi, nih ada tips biar ga cuma ngikut-ngikut organisasi aja tapi itu emang pilihan hatimu sendiri!!
Lihat visi dan misi dari organisasi yang mau sobat ambil, kalo emang ga sehati jangan diambil, cari lagi yang lain jangan nyerah. Cari tahu kegiatan apa aja yang udah dilakukan atau akan dilakukan. Yang terakhir tanyain posisi apa yang ada dalam organisasi, terus sesuain posisi yang sobat inginkan.

Selamat beroganisasi yach!! Chayo…………………………….
