Background
In the first assignment of “Business English 2” course,
the task is to give opinion about some news articles. The articles are
collected from three sources, which discussed about e-SIM technology that has
been using in China.
SIM card or Subscriber Identity Module Card is a small card
that signifies the user subscription with an operator. SIM card contains
information about subscribtion to a service and the identity of the card’s owner.
There are two types of SIM cards, which are GSM and CDMA. SIM card has several
forms: the oldest is a mini SIM, the smaller SIM called micro SIM and the smallest
one is nano SIM. Along with the technology development, eSIM or embeded SIM
comes as a new innovation. eSIM has been using in some areas in China, such as
Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhengzhou, and Changsha.
Embeded SIM or eSIM is a technology that make it easy for
user to use the same mobile phone number in two different devices. eSIM will be
directly embedded in the device. At first, this innovation had been used with a
bluetooth connection on the old version of smartwatch and iphone. The
disadvantage of using bluetooth is related to the distance between the two
devices. So, user have to bring the both devices everywhere. Apple Smartwatch 3
is one of the devices that supports the eSIM without using a bluetooth
connection. The data that is stored inside the smartwatch will synchronized
into the handpone in real time.
In my opinion, this inovation is very useful because it does
not need to buy a SIM card if you want to switch operators. The menu for
switching operators can be directly accessed on the device screen. It easier
for user because user do not need to exchage the old SIM card with a new card. User
can also wear two devices using the same number. It is
so helpful when someone is doing the activities which is not allowed to hold a
smarthphone, the user then can access it via the smartwatch. In addition,
the data that goes into the smartwatch will be synchronized with the data user’s
cell phone so that user does not have to worry if they needs data from one
device.
Before eSIM enter Indonesia, registered operators must
agree to adopt the technology and provide the services. All operators and the
devices from various brands should support these technologies. The system’s trial
can be done in an area, such as in Jakarta. All operators that will adopt these
innovations should follow the experiment. If the technology is successful applied in Jakarta, it can be deployed gradually
to other cities.
The socialization of the technology to the community
should be done prior to implementation. Socialization can be done via video
that can be accessed on the internet, handing out brochure in a public place or
conduct training in the neighbourhood. The officer have to give introduction
about the e-SIM and how to use it. Socialization should be done to all societies
because the smarthphone is a tool that is owned by most people. Officials from
the operators must also be able to ensure that the community is understanding with
these innovations and not in trouble when exchange the operator.

Theory
Verb Phrase
A verb
phrase consists of an auxiliary, or helping, verb and a main verb. The
helping verb always precedes the main verb.
Helping verbs
include forms of be, such as am, is, are, was, were, being, and been;
forms of have, such as hasand had; forms of do, such
as does and did; forms of can, such as could, will,
would, and shall; and forms of should, such as may, might,
and must.
Examples:
Despite our
reservations, we did go out in the snowstorm.
(Did go is
the verb phrase. Did is the helping verb, and go is the
main verb.)
Uma is
coming with us to the movie.
(Is coming is
the verb phrase. Is is the helping verb, and coming is the
main verb.)

distribute pamphlets as part of our presentation.
(Will
distribute is the verb phrase. Will is the helping verb,

(Should take is
the verb phrase. Should is the helping verb, and take is
the main verb.)

(Will help is

Note that some
helping verbs can also function as main verbs, either as part of a verb phrase
or on their own. Also, some verb phrases consist of more than one helping or
main verb.
Examples:
Internet
reception has been spotty lately.
(Has been is
the verb phrase. Has is the helping verb, and been is the
main verb.)
The
Meyers have been taking their dog with them on trips.
(Have been
taking is the verb phrase. Have and been are the
helping verbs, and taking is the main verb.)
Subjects and
Modifiers Within Verb Phrases
Some sentences
will feature a subject or a modifier placed in between a verb phrase’s helping
and main verbs. Note that the subject or modifier is not considered
part of the verb phrase.
Examples:

(Do think is
the verb phrase. Do is the helping verb, and think is the main
verb. You is a pronoun functioning as a subject. It is not part of
the verb phrase.)
