Stroke is preventable disease, Do you agree?
A stroke is a medical emergency. Strokes happen when blood flow to
your brain stops. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die. There are two kinds
of stroke. The more common kind, called ischemic stroke, is caused by a
blood clot that blocks or plugs a blood vessel in the brain. The other kind,
called hemorrhagic stroke, is caused by a blood vessel that breaks and bleeds
into the brain. "Mini-strokes" or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), occur when
the blood supply to the brain is briefly interrupted.
Symptoms of stroke are
• Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg (especially on one
side of the body)
• Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding speech
• Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
• Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
• Sudden severe headache with no known cause

In, On, At
 Time / Waktu
Perhatikan tiga contoh kalimat dibawah ini :
– Ahmad was born in 1999.
– Ahmad was born on July 19th
– Ahmad was born at 9:19 AM.
• In
Menjelaskan waktu yang general atau memiliki cakupan
yang besar. Kata depan in juga digunakan ketika kita
berbicara abad, bulan, morning, afternoon, evening.
• On
Lebih spesifik dari kata in. Karena kita harus menggunakan
on jika menjelaskan suatu tanggal. Logikanya suatu tanggal
pasti tingkatannya lebih spesifik dibandingkan dengan
tahun. Selain itu on juga digunakan pada hari dalam satu
minggu seperti, on Sunday, on Saturday, on Wednesday.
• At
Paling spesifik. Misalnya seperti waktu dari sesuatu yang
terjadi. Logikanya waktu kejadian itu lebih spesifik
dibandingkan dengan tanggal atau tahun dari suatu
kejadian.
 Place / Lokasi
Perhatikan 3 contoh kalimat dibawah ini
– Rissa lives in Bandung.
– Rissa lives on Dago Street.
– Rissa lives at 25th Dago Street.
• In
Mempunyai ruang lingkup yang sangat general atau besar..
In dalam menjelasakan suatu tempat atau lokasi juga
digunakan pada benua, negara, area, provinsi, dan tempat
lainnya dalam konteks secara general.
• On
Berbeda dengan in, kata depan on digunakan untuk contoh
yang sedikit terperinci. Dalam kalimat diatas digunakan
pada nama jalan tanpa nomor. Karena nama jalan lebih
terperinci jika dibandingkan dengan nama kota yang lebih
general. Kata on juga digunakan untuk nama pulau, sungai,
pantai.
• At
Jika kita ingin menjelaskan suatu nama jalan dengan nomor
atau alamat lengkap maka harus menggunakan preposisi
at.
• – Ronal was in cinema.
– Ronal was on cinema.
– Ronal was at cinema.
• In
Jika kamu berbicara dengan native speaker “Ronal was in cinema”
maka ang ada dipikiran merka adalah “Ronal ada didalam bioskop
atau cinema”. Tidak masalah Ronal didalam mau nonton film atau
tidak. yang terpenting adalah letak Ronal yang berada didalam
bioskop.
• On
Berbeda jika kamu bilang “Ronal was on cinema” maka yang kamu
maksudkan adalah “Ronal ada diatas bioskop” atau “Ronal adalah
artis yang bermain di film bioskop”.
• At
Jika kamu bilang “Ronal was at cinema” maka bagi orang yang
mendengar akan berpikir “Ronal ada diluar bioskop” atau “Ronal
berada di sekitar atau didekat bioskop”. Tempat bioskop hanya
digunakan sebagi acuan atau referensi saja.
