Worth it
Equivalence is the balance between ideas or thoughts and the structure of language used in sentences. The equivalent in this sentence is shown by the oneness of ideas and unity of mind. The characteristics of sentences that have a structural equivalent, namely:
Having a clear subject and predicate
Example:
Not expected by any nation, but in fact we must be able to accept it stoically. (Ineffective)
(What or who is not expected by any nation?)
The economic crisis is not expected by any nation, but in reality we must be able to accept it with courage. (Effective)
(The economic crisis makes clear what is not expected by any nation)
The prepositions are not in front of the subject
Example:
For all grade 2 students must take study tour activities. (Ineffective)
(Share in front of the subject)
All grade 2 students must take part in the activities of the study tour. (Effective)
Intradalimat conjunctions are not used in a single sentence.
Example:
Witness not present. So the trial is adjourned next week.
(So at the beginning of the sentence)
Witnesses were absent so the trial was adjourned next week.
(so in the middle of a sentence)
The predicate does not precede the conjunction.
Example:
Indonesian national team supporters wearing red and white shirts.
(in front of the predicate)

Indonesian national team supporters wearing red and white shirts.
No double subject.
Example:
The construction of the road was assisted by all villagers.
(What is the subject: road construction or us?)
In building the bridge, we were assisted by all villagers. (Subject: me)

Parallelism is the similarity of words or meanings used in sentences. What is meant by the similarity of words is if the first word is in the form of verb, then the next word is in the form of verb. However, if the first word is in the form of nouns, the next word is in the form of nouns.
Example:
The steps in writing effective sentences are understanding, knowing, and applying effective sentence definitions. (Not parallel)
The steps in writing effective sentences are understanding, knowing, and applying effective sentence definitions. (Parallel)
Ami wrote a letter. (Not parallel meaning)

Avoid the same elements in compound sentences
Example:
I don't like apples and I don't like durians. (Not thrifty)
I don't like apples and durians. (Thrifty)
Avoiding synonymism in sentences
Example:
I only have 3 books. (Not thrifty)
I only have 3 books. (Thrifty)
Avoid naming plural words
Example:
The students rallied in front of the rector's building. (Not thrifty)
The students rallied in front of the rector's building. (Thrifty)
