Test 2 · Part 3: Feedback on a Field Trip Report

So, have you both read my feedback on the first draft of your field trip report?

Jadi, apakah kalian berdua sudah membaca masukan saya tentang draf pertama laporan kunjungan lapangan kalian?

Yes, we have, and we were a bit surprised by some of the comments.

Sudah, dan kami agak terkejut dengan beberapa komentarnya.

We thought the methods section was pretty detailed, actually.

Sebenarnya, kami pikir bagian metodenya cukup rinci.

It was detailed, but it didn't explain why you chose those particular sites.

Memang rinci, tetapi tidak menjelaskan mengapa kalian memilih lokasi-lokasi tertentu itu.

Oh, I see. We picked them mainly because they were easy to reach.

Oh, begitu. Kami memilihnya terutama karena mudah dijangkau.

That's fine, but you need to say so and discuss how it might affect your results.

Itu tidak masalah, tetapi kalian perlu menyatakannya dan membahas bagaimana hal itu mungkin memengaruhi hasil kalian.

Should we put that in the methods section or in the discussion?

Apakah sebaiknya kami menaruhnya di bagian metode atau di pembahasan?

Mention it briefly in the methods, and then come back to it in the discussion.

Sebutkan secara singkat di bagian metode, lalu bahas kembali di bagian pembahasan.

What did you think about our data on the rock pools?

Bagaimana pendapat Anda tentang data kami mengenai kolam pasang surut?

That was the strongest part, especially the comparison between high and low tide.

Itu bagian yang paling kuat, terutama perbandingan antara air pasang dan air surut.

We weren't sure whether to include the photos we took of the crabs.

Kami tidak yakin apakah harus menyertakan foto-foto kepiting yang kami ambil.

Include one or two, but make sure each one has a clear caption.

Sertakan satu atau dua, tetapi pastikan setiap foto memiliki keterangan yang jelas.

The other problem is that we went over the word limit.

Masalah lainnya adalah kami melebihi batas jumlah kata.

By how much?

Berapa banyak lebihnya?

About 600 words, mostly in the literature review.

Sekitar 600 kata, sebagian besar di tinjauan pustaka.

Then cut the background section, because a lot of it repeats the lecture notes.

Kalau begitu, pangkas bagian latar belakang, karena sebagian besar isinya mengulang catatan kuliah.

That makes sense. Could we also move the raw data to an appendix?

Masuk akal. Bolehkah kami juga memindahkan data mentah ke lampiran?

Yes, that's exactly what an appendix is for.

Ya, memang untuk itulah lampiran dibuat.

And when is the final version due?

Dan kapan batas pengumpulan versi akhirnya?

The end of next week, but I'd be happy to look at another draft before then.

Akhir minggu depan, tetapi saya senang melihat draf lainnya sebelum itu.
