A. Watch your Kids While Watching TV
Television
becomes one of the most important devices which takes place in almost houses.
It can unite all members of the family as well as separate them. However, is it
important to know what your kids are watching? The answer is, of course,
absolutely “Yes” and that should be done by all parents. Television can expose
things you have tried to protect the children from, especially violence,
pornography, consumerism and so on. Recently,
a study demonstrated that spending too much time on watching TV during the day
or at bedtime often cause bed-time disruption, stress, and short sleep
duration. Another research found that there is
a significant relationship between the amount of time spent for watching
television during adolescence and early adulthood, and the possibility of being
aggressive. Meanwhile, many studies have identified
a relationship between kids who watch TV a lot and being inactive and
overweight.
Considering
some facts mentioning above, protect your children with the following tips:
- Limit television viewing to one-two hours each day
- Do not allow your children to have a TV set in their own bedrooms
- Review the rating of TV shows which your children watch
More Dust Bins is Cleaner
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 for mosquito 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.
Where Should Be after High School?
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.
Learning English through music and songs is Fun
Learning
English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix pleasure
with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to your
English progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why
we use songs in language learning. Firstly,
“the song stuck in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the last
song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both
enjoyable and sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the
idea that songs work on our short-and-long term memory.
Secondly,
songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of
repetition, which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact
that they are effective makes them many times more motivating than other text.
Although usually simple, some songs can be quite complex syntactically,
lexically and poetically, and can be analyzed in the same way as any other
literary sample.
Furthermore,
song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most pop songs and
probably many other types don’t have precise people, place or time reference.
In
addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage
harmony within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important
tools in sustaining culture, religion, patriotism and yeas, even revolution.
Last
but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs such as
studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension, translating
songs, learning vocabulary, spelling and culture. From the elaboration above, it can be concluded that
learning through music and songs, learning English can be enjoyable and fun.
The importance of Reading
I
personally think that reading is a very important activity in our life.
Why do I say so? Firstly, by reading we can get a lot
of knowledge about many things in the world such as Science, technology.
Sports, arts, culture, etc written in either books, magazine, newspaper, etc. Secondly, by reading we can get a
lot of news and information about something happening in any parts of the world
which can we see directly. Another
reason, reading can give us pleasure too. When we are tired, we read
books, newspaper or magazine on the entertainment column such as comedy, short
story, quiz, etc. To make us relaxed. The
last, reading can also take us to other parts of the world. By reading a
book about Irian Jaya we may feel we’re really sitting in the jungles not
at home in our rooms. From
the facts above, it’s obvious that everyone needs to read to get knowledge,
information and also entertainment. Or in summary we can say reading is
truly important in our life.
Example in daily writing
Dear
friend, Are you tired of the daily grind?
Sick of working all hours of the day for litle reward? Tired of having enough
money to really enjoy yourself? Well, now there is a way out. We can show the way to give up work.
Sit back and make millions for yourself and your loved ones on property market. Albert Smith felt just like you
untill he read our leaflet. Now he drives a sport car arround the South of
France and his wife has one of her own too.
