USE
ENGLISH!
Many of us are dismayed
about the quality of our education, which is not commensurate with the high
cost spent on school fees. It is way below our expectations if we compare our graduates with those
who studied overseas, especially concerning the mastery of English.
It is important to know
that most of employments require competence in English, for office work and
correspondence.Government officials, speakers, writers and observers use a lot of English.
Then the important
thing is to use English as a medium in schools so that we can compete with
graduates from abroad. All students have
studied English since they are in junior high school. Even some of them had
been introduced with English when they were in elementary school. However, lots
of graduates have less English skills. Learning
English is
difficult but it is more difficult to customize us with it
Then it will be
beneficial to have TV films in English like in Singapore. It will help to
increase our graduates’ competence in English.
Should not Bring Mobile Phone to School
Recently most people
own mobile phone. Why does mobile phone user increase
dramatically in recent years? First, the feature and functions has increased.
Mobile phone is not used just for calling, but sending text, taking pictures, recording videos, accessing internet, playing games and much more. Second, mobile
phone has also become a lot cheaper. Now this communication device does not
only fill the pocket of adult but also teenager and student. Even a lot phones are intentionally designed to teenaged market.
However should they be allowed to bring them to school?
Many schools do not
allow students to bring cell phones to school. It is very
reasonable because bringing phone
toschool potentially disrupts the learning process. Moststudents use cell phones irresponsibly. They
use cell phones to talk to their friend during class time. They also use the
calculator and camera features in the class as well. Those potentially lead
less concentration in the time of learning and teaching process.
Students go to school to learn and behave fair
way. Mobile phones provide a large temptation to cheat in tests. They can
communicate to anyone and almost anywhere in the
world. Because of the small size of the cell phone, students can send a text quietly and
discreetly. The text can go unnoticed anywhere to get help on answering tests, homework, and other class assignment. Learning in school is to behave fair not
cheating.
Therefore, schools
should ban students from bringing their cell phones.
However it should be done fairly. In case of an emergency some student need a call for help, providing easy
access to phone is better.
NEVER TRY SMOKING
A
lot of people, especially teenagers, who do not smoke,always want to try
smoking. They know it is bad for them and all, but it is just something they
want to try. So they ask one of their smoker friends for a cigarette.
Admittedly, they firstly can not light it on their own so they ask his friend
to do it. Then they inhale that cigarette and smoke occasionally.
Apparently
that makes them the born smokers. Now they do smoke fairly regularly. They can
not avoid smoking and they enjoy too. They have smoker friends. Everyday they
bring a pack in their pocket. For them, a pack of cigarette is as important as
a wallet for their money.
Suddenly,
for certain reason, they realize the fact that tobacco is the cause of a long
list of nasty diseases. It is not only heart disease, stroke, and chronic
lung disease but also bladder, lung, and pancreatic cancer. Even it was
reported that around 400,000 Americans died each year. It was one every 80
seconds from tobacco-related illnesses.
Then
they decide it is stupid to harm selves. They want to quit smoking.
Unfortunately, they find that quitting smoking is so difficult. “Why
can't I stop smoking? I really want to stop it”. It is hard to quit because
nicotine is powerfully addictive. Cigarette is one of the most efficient drug-delivery
devices ever devised. As result, when people try to quit smoking, they
often experience classic nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as
anxiety, irritability, headache, depression, and restlessness.
Well,
still want to try smoke? Think the facts before trying! If you are not smoker,
you should never and never try to smoke.
The National examination result will be publicly enounced in
next short time. Euphoria will flood for those who get success. In the other
hand, It will be sorry to hear that there are some of them do not succeed in
their national final examination. For those who succeed soon will think to
decide; where will they be after graduating high school? Actually it will be
easy to decide for those has been arranged and thought earlier but for those
have not planed yet, it will be quite confusing.
Continuing study or looking for work is the primary choice among
them. When they think about continuing study, they will think hard about the
time and cost. How long the higher study will last? And how high is about the
cost. In the same way, when they think about straightly seeking job, what skill
and competence they have got is a big matter of questioning. So, doing both
choices in the same time is an alternative.
Continuing study as well as seeking job is possibly done but it
will be hard for them. Conventionally studying in the university needs much
time to spend especially in the first year. It is true because they have to do
and adapt a lot of things in their new higher school. it will be very hard to
looking for job. Therefore it should come to their mind of continuing studying
at higher school from their own home. As result, the available time will be
more flexible for them. Then it will be very possible to seek job and get the
appropriate one. This type of studying is publicly known as distance learning.
As the alternative method of studying, besides the conventional
studying which students and the lecturer have to meet in the fixed time and
place regularly, distance learning provides possibility to grow better.
Possibly working and studying surely will create high quality graduate.
Distance learning should appear as a considerable choice for them.
Internet
is one of important devices in student world. We can find many internet cafes
anywhere. Actually, many houses have internet connection. As parents, we must
know what our children are browsing in internet, because many programs have
negative impacts to our children.
In
our observation, in internet have positive impact, for example : student can
find their task in internet, and we can find update information or news when
browsing internet.
Internet
also have negative impact if the parents don’t watch their children when
browsing internet.
The
children can open many program or website that have negative impact, for
example, they can open pornography site, game online and the other programs
that can make their mark go down in the school. And too much browsing internet
can endanger their eyes.
Based
on fact above, we have some tips to protect our children:
◊ Don’t put PC and
modem set in your kids bedroom
◊ Make a schedule for
browsing internet to our children.
◊ Review the history
when your children finished browsing internet.
◊ Use filter’s program
to negative site in your PC.
As we know that so much water in the world. There are many kinds of water that we can consume every day all
time.
Consuming water can be made as therapy of disease,
because water that we consume with enough amounts
and the right method can purify of poisons in our body. The therapy of water can save water availability in the body.
Therapy of water can keep the beauty too. Skins is the
out part of the body that has contact with dirty air, sun light and pollutions. To keep the skin elasticity,water is needed in the enough amounts. Water can dampen of skin until not easy to dry
and make crimp.
To keep the balancing
of size body, water is needed. In fact, water can increase the metabolism and
pressing of eat desire. Consume a lot of watercan
filtrate much calories.
So, let’s consume water everyday at least eight glasses to
keep our healthy and beauty. But, the water must be clean and hygiene. Find, buy
and consume the best mineral water!
To improve comfort and cleanliness at the school, there should be an increasing
number of dust bins.
When
we look at classroom, school corridors and schoolyard, there papers, mineral
water cops, straws, and napkin everywhere. The
condition of
unseemliness really hinders learning and teaching environment. They can be
filled out with water coming from the rain. This can be placed formosquito to spread out.
Anyway
I notice that most of the students have responsibilities for their school
environment. They put their litter on the proper place but some of them are not
diligent enough to find the dust bins. The numbers of the dust bins in the
school are not enough. More dust bins should be put beside each step, outside
of the classrooms and some along of the corridors. Probably one dust bin should
be in every ten meters. So when students want to throw away their litters, they can
find the dust bins easily.
When
school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, students do not have problem of discomfort any more. So
provide more dust bins and school will be very clean and become a very nice
place to study.

Let’s Make City Clean
and Fresh
Let’s Make City Clean and Fresh
A clean and fresh city will surely make the inhabitantshealthy. Every morningespecially in dry season, all
roads must be watered with clean water and swept by the
workers of the regionalgovernment under the Major’s instruction.
To keep the people from heavy pollution caused by cars, trucks andmotorcycles, enough trees must be planted along all roads.
Every building or house in the city must be surrounded short and small trees
which bear colorful flower.
Bad and improper habits which cause disadvantages, bad smell
and dangerous diseases to people such as smoking and throwing rubbish anywhere should be stopped at once.
The major of each city will have to think over the way how to educate people, so that they realize on how important cleanliness and health are for their own sake. Building more public lavatories at every busy place is very badly needed.
The major of each city will have to think over the way how to educate people, so that they realize on how important cleanliness and health are for their own sake. Building more public lavatories at every busy place is very badly needed.
It will be wise if the Major decides a certain amount of fine to be paid by those who disobey the government regulation
on cleanliness matter. A man who urinate not at lavatory, smoke not at smoking
room or throw rubbish at the roads should be fined for instance. Besides dirtying the
environment with cigarettes’ butts, smoking will also cause pollution and lungs
disease to
other people.
So bad habits and impolite attitude should be immediately
stopped, otherwise the city will be dirty, unhealthy badly polluted and will
never attract foreign or domestic tourist.
Why Should Wearing a Helmet when Motorcycling
We
often hear lots of stories from road regarding people taking spill on
motorcycle when they are riding without usinghelmet. Mostly the
riders badly end up in mess.
Wearing
a fitted protective helmet offers many benefits which
reduces the negative aspects of riding. First and the most important is that
wearing the correct helmet can save a rider's life, physical ability,
family pain, and money. The recommended designs of motorcycle
helmets can providetotal protection. They not only protect riders from
getting a worse road injured accident but also from flying bugs, such
as rain, sleet, mud and other potential projectiles.
Second,
wearing a helmet can gives the raiders a matter of style. Helmets
give the opportunity for rider to express the image they may want to project
when riding on they way. This benefit may not be important to some people, but
to others, it means a lot and important. By choosing the most appropriatehelmet from
all of the various styles, such as beanie, shorty, German, and many others,
wearing a helmet which can projecting an image is an inherent crucial
part of motorcycling and help riders feel more confident when riding on the
road.
However,
what most important is wearing helmet when riding is a matter of
using it properly. Bikers should use the helmets which are fixed to their head.
It is really not good if they places simply the helmets on the head without
settling them properly. The bikers should fasten the helmet correctly
to their head in order to get safe and comfort.
Let's Make Campaign Of Reading
Reading habit is poor
among Indonesians because most people haven’t realized the importance of
reading
Reading is important
to transform knowledge and technology. By reading, one knows the world. He or
she will understand what he doesn’t see by himself or herself. The lines of the
paragraphs in an article contain pieces of knowledge. The knowledge is needed
to improve the quality of human’s life. Technology transformation from other
country can only be done by reading a lot various sources of literature.
Valuable books in libraries and bookstores mean nothing if they are not read.
Realizing the
importance of reading will make someone motivated to read. When we know that
something is very important because it can give us valuable information, we
will try to get or do the thing. For example, a businessman who always follows
latest information or news, will know what to do in his/ her business. He will
make a good decision to make a transaction. Most people in all developed countries have realized the importance or
reading andthey
have good reading habits. In bus and train stations,
vehicles, waiting rooms, parks, people like reading. They enjoy reading which gives them valuable
knowledge and inspiration.
A good understanding
toward the importance of reading can be achieved by well organized and
effective campaign. To plant an understanding in a generation’s minds is not an
easy job. It needs a hard work from all components of the nation, especially the government. A serious campaign which is organized by the central and
local government can help common people wake up and
stand to face the real competition. The campaign can be done through various kinds of mass media such as TV,
radio, booklets, bulletins, newspapers, magazines. It can also be conducted by
teachers, parents and all people who care.
Therefore, a
nation-wide effective campaign of the importance of reading by all components
of the nation should be done, facilitated by the government, to face the tighter
competition. The world has forced globalization. Those people with little knowledge will be
left behind. To speed up the better change in this country, a good reading
habit is really important.
