Hello, fellas. What’s up? ‘Mudik’ is an annual event here in Indonesia, especially near big holiday such as Lebaran. Those who left their hometown to work and look for a better and more prosperous life would go home for the holiday. Usually around a week after the holiday, they would race back to town to return to their work. On the peak of ‘arus balik’ Lebaran, tolls and provincial accesses are always jam-packed.
Anyway, who knows what’s the English for ‘arus balik Lebaran‘? :)
“Eid backflow” – @Robertoberto21
“Yes, ‘arus balik’ is backflow. Arus balik Lebaran = backflow of Lebaran. Thank you. :”)” – @EnglishTips4U
In this occassion, let’s play a little bit… with adjective. I’m sure you know what adjective is. And the topic is related to your holiday. :)
Do you know an adjective can have either positive or negative connotation. E.g. happy = positive; sad = negative. Can you give other examples? :)
- “what about this ? Good= Positive, Bad = Negative” – @Ffa_Nifa
- “Lazy = negative >< clever = positive” – @_heniie
- “Beautiful = positive” – @SaarahFzh
- “How about Positive = positive and negative = negative” – @dwisusilawati
Now this is what you should do for the #EngGame: Fill in the gap with an adjective with appropriate connotation based on sentence’s context.
I’m only gonna give 2 sentences and you have to be as creative as possible if you want to be featured in this article. Let’s look at these examples first. Example:
- “I feel happy because I had a/an ….. holiday.” (fill in the gap with an adjective. Don’t forget to choose between a/an)
- “I feel happy beause I had a good holiday” – @alfayzadivaa
Remember: Please type in full sentence and use appropriate punctuation.
More example:
- “I feel sad because I had a/an ……… holiday.“
- You have to use adjectives other than ‘good’ or ‘bad’ if you want to be featured. They’re too generic. :)
All right. Time for some show some responses we got. Behold… the adjectives! :D

Also, still remember ‘participial adjective’? Read here: #EngClass: participial adjective. For ‘holiday’ is it ‘boring’ or ‘bored’? Because the holiday ’causes the feeling’ so we use the V-ing form: boring = membosankan = liburannya membosankan.
Well, that’s the end of this article. I hope you enjoyed it and found it useful. Practice your English by experimenting with it. :)
