The Effect of Television

TV is very familiar with us. Every house has it. In modern era, TV becomes more modern. Because of it, TV has positive and negative effects. Here the details:

Firstly, TV can add our knowledge. We can get various kinds of knowledge, not only knowledge but also information, news, entertainment etc. We can get knowledge not only from school and books but also from TV. Knowledge from TV is more universal that we do not get them from schools.

Secondly, TV can make bad behavior and attitudes. Recently many films are not good enough to be watched by our young generation. They will imitate the western culture about action or attitude which is in contrary with our culture, east culture. It can destroy our good behavior and attitudes.

Thirdly, TV makes us lazy. If we enjoy watching TV too much, we will forget our duty. Take for example, if you are student, you will forget to do your homework or assignment given by teacher. So, watching TV too much is bad.

Fourthly, TV destroys our health especially our eyes. It happens if you watch TV too near and too long. Watching TV too near is not good for our eyes.

 

So, What should parents do with this problem?

Ponari is phenomenal

The health facility for public is very important because the condition of a country can be seen by looking the society’s condition. The poverty in Indonesia causes some problems and one of them is about health.

Today the society thinks that health is very expensive. They argue based on the expense of medicines. As they know the medicine today is very expensive. It is too high. People who care their health have been helped by government. It gives some facilities such as Askes, Jamkesmas etc.

Ponari comes when the society need the cheap expense of medical treatment. Coming to Ponari, they just pay 5000 Rupiahs and get Ponari’s miraculous water. That expense is cheaper than when they come to doctor or hospital. The phenomenon in helping ordinary people may be caused by many factors such as education, politic, poverty, economic, culture etc.

In fact, there are four victims when they want to see Ponari to ask his miraculous water. We, as good society, must avoid this incident. We don’t want another people die because of this matter. This problem should be solved by government. It should give society free medical treatment or cheap medicine.

Internet for students

Nowadays, in modern era, I think internet is very important for students.

As we all know internet has many function for supporting our life. They are, first, it gives us various information, news, knowledge etc. Students can search anything or something from internet. Take for example, they search about education, entertainment, knowledge etc that is in the world. Second, they can add their friends in all countries in the world by internet. Chatting, e-mail, facebook, twitter, interpals are some examples of internet facility to have many friends. Besides, they can share, communicate, discuss and so on.

From my arguments above, as student, we should use internet facility well to get knowledge, friends, information etc.

Let’s Make City Clean and Fresh

A clean and fresh city will surely make the inhabitants healthy. Every morning especially in dry season, all roads must be watered with clean water and swept by the workers of the regional government under the Major’s instruction.

To keep the people from heavy pollution caused by cars, trucks and motorcycles, 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.

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.

What should we do to make our city be cleanest?

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.
