Three Goals of Mine

1. Plan your letter. Think of your three goals. Write a topic sentence for each one.
Goal 1 : I want to graduate as fast as possible from this university.
Goal 2 : I hope while I'm studying here, my english skill can be improved.
Goal 3 : Not only obtain high GPA but also I can get a lot of knowledge.

2. Write a conclusion for your letter in the space provided. It should give an evoluation of your goals.
        In conclusion, I have set three goals for myself. I really hope can achieve all of my goals while I'm studying here. Possibly for some people my goals are pretty simple and easy to achieve. Moreover for me it's little difficult because I have to resist my laziness to study well and be wise to learn something new from some conditions which worthwhile for future life.


        This is a letter I am writing to myself with three goals in it. I will open this letter after I graduated from President University. I am making this letter as a promise with myself committed to implement. The goals I have set for myself are graduate as fast as possible, good english skill,and  get a lot of knowledge. Now I will explain more about those goals and how I plan to achieve them.
         First, I want to graduate as fast as possible from this university. I think everyone is also agree with it except they are too lazy or afraid of facing work life. Actually why I want to graduate fast is because I want to be an independent girl who can make money by myself and not relying on parents. Besides, I want to feel a new atmosphere in work life because I am bored with situations where we only have to study for a test and do assignments to get score. I want to be a diligent student who is doing all of assignments, study well, attend classes so I have no retake and then I can graduate fast.
          Second, as we known that English is International language so I hope while I'm studying here, my english skill can be improved. Almost all of people in the world can speak english. As we known that economic activities in the world are using english and I as a management student who will be engaged in economy world I have to be good in english. I plan to improve my english in ways don't be shy to use english in everyday conversation, speak with foreigners, and pay more attention in english class.
           Last but no least, I hope that not only obtain high GPA but also I can get a lot of knowledge. I have read a quote that said "Don't study to earn, study to learn. What you learn today is what you become tomorrow" I strongly agree with that quote. Since I was in junior high school I always apply that quote also my teacher in junior high school used to said to me that "Try to understand what you have learned and not only memorizing the material to get high score in exam so you can fully understand". I always remember that and always apply for learning.
            In conclusion, I have set three goals for myself. I really hope can achieve all of my goals while I'm studying here. Possibly for some people my goals are pretty simple and easy to achieve. Moreover for me it's little difficult because I have to resist my laziness to study well and be wise to learn something new from some conditions which worthwhile for future life.

THESIS : LECTURERS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MOTIVATING STUDENT TO LEARN

Thesis : Lecturers are not responsible for motivating students to learn.
First Argument : College students are different with high school students.
Second Argument : Motivation is not only from lecturers.
Third Argument : College life is to prepare work life.
Counter Argument : Lecturers are the one who give knowledge to students it means they are the one who have big role in a class.
Conclusion : Motivate students are not lecturers' responsibility but lecturers could motivate students to learn.

   Have you felt that lecturers did not give you motivate in your college life ? What do you think about lecturers who give you motivate ? Do you find that motivation from lecturers is helpful enough ? I do believe that Lecturers are not responsible fot motivating students to learn. This thesis means that lecturer do not have responsibility for motivating students in university. However, they can do motivate students to learn.
     College student is different with high school students. College student is mature enough to control him/herself. The average age of students in university are above 17th. At that age usually people are mature enough to manage theirself in spite of we can't judge someone by their age to know about their character. In high school every knowledge we got from teachers because every day teacher should teach in front of us in a class, but in college not every single knowledge we got from lecturers because some lecturer just gives the topic and then we have to search the explanation by ourself.
   Motivation is not only from lecturer. Since college students are mature enough to manage theirself likewise to find motivate for them. Actually the main motivation is from ourself however we still need another people to strengthen the motivation. As an example parents can be our motivation to achieve our goals in college or someone special like boyfriend or girlfriend it can be more motivate us while we are studying.
      College life as a training to the real work life. Does in a work life still have someone like lecturer who give you a motivation ? I'm pretty sure that there is no boss who wants to motivate their subordinate. Even though there must be a boss who wants to motivate their subordinate but they will feel unhappy with it.
       Lecturers are the one who give knowledge to students it means they are the one who have big role in a class. Some people said that the lecturers have a big role in class, learning process in a class depends on the lecturer. They would have big spirit in learning if the lecturer gives motivation to the students.
        Motivate students are not lecturers' responsibility but lecturers could motivate students to learn. There is no prohibiton that the lecturers can not motivation the students to learn. I do believe that students also need motivation from the lecturers. However motivation isn't only comes from the lecturer and that's not lecturers' responsibility.

Research Report on Weekend Activities

1. Plan your research report about your classmates. Look back at the groups you created in Part 4. Each group will be the topic of a paragraph. Write a topic sentence for each of three groups or four groups you made.

Paragraph 2 : Fun activity to do on the weekend is hang out with friends, family, or boyfriend/girlfriend.
Paragraph 3 : Doing hobbies such as swimming or another kind of sports, reading novels or watching movies.
Paragraph 4 : Cleaning room and washing clothes.
Paragraph 5 : The most favourite one is hang out with friends, family or boyfriend/girlfriend.

2. Write a draft of the concluding paragraph for your composition. It can either summarize or evaluate the results, or it can predict the future.

There are lots of activities to do on the weekend. Some people would like to enjoy their free times with people they loved such family, friends, partner or people around them. Besides, there are kind of people who like to enjoy their free times only by theirself. Based on my research, I found that most of them like to spend their free times with people they loved either for hang out together or eat or do things that they love.

3. Now write your research report on a separate piece of paper. Be sure to include a title and an introductory paragraph.


      What usually everyone does on the weekend ? Do they like to fill their weekends as well as possible or just let weekends pass without doing something please? I conducted a survey and from the result I found that there are top three kinds of activities that people loved the most. Those activities consist of hang out with close people, doing hobbies, and cleaning their room.
       The largest group is people who like to fill their weekends with hang out together with their family, friends, or boyfriend/girlfriend. Since I conducted this survey on youth, they prefer to hang out than just stay at home because they are still young and they have big spirit to have some journeys. Moreover another reason why they like to hangout is because they are bored with their daily activities so they need some refreshment.
       Almost half of them like to spend their weekends with doing their hobbies such as swimming or another kind of sports, reading novels or watching movies. According to some people have had enough time for doing their hobbies are the best thing they can do. Having enough time to do hobbies has been wait since long time.
        The rest of them love to spend their weekends to clean room or wash clothes. Just a few people like to do this kind of activity during their weekends. Usually people who like this activity is people who love cleanliness or people who is busy with their daily activities during weekdays. Therefore, they only have time on weekend.
        In conclusion,  most people like to spend their weekends to hang out with their family, friends or boyfriend/girlfriend. They can go to entertainment place, natural place, go to culinary place for tasting the new food or delicious food or go to shopping center.

1. Plan your composition about an important event in your life. Write the introductory paragraph and include an attention getter, the main idea of the composition, and the guide.
Attention Getter : Do you have a squad ? How do you feel when you are with them ? Of course you will be happy, feeling excited and that feeling can not be described with words.
Main Idea : I have close friends in high school and I think that they are more than just friends for me, they are like my family.

2. Write topic sentences for your second, third, and fourth paragraphs.
Paragraph 2 : Why I love being around them...
Paragraph 3 : What usually we do when we are together...
Paragraph 4 : They are very meaningful for me...

3. Now put the parts together, and on separate piece of paper, write a four paragraph composition.

 Special Day with Them

         Do you have a squad ? How do you feel when you are with them ? Of course you will be happy, feeling excited and that feeling can not be described with words.  I have close friends in high school and I think that they are more than just friends for me, they are like my family. Surely sometimes we fought each other however we know that we love each other. We come from the same province but different town. Previously we did not know each other until we met in a high school in another province. We are united in a group based on our hometown. The name of the group is JASSA PAPUA-MALUKU. The group is be named like that because we come from Papua and Maluku province.

          As a student who came from another province you must be feel strange with that new environment. It would be better if you find people who have same hometown with you. Sharing and take care of each other, you could feel more comfortable. I love when I am being with them, not only just because we came from the same place. However I like their personality, we make jokes and laugh together, we fight together to achieve our future goals.

           Once in two years my high school held an event, the event's name is "PELANGI BANGSAKU". This is an event that shows our traditional (Indonesian) culture from Sabang to Merauke. Every island in Indonesia has their own culture so students who come from that island have to display their traditional culture. I and my friends that I called family usually gather in a place to practise traditional dance and traditional songs to be showed on that event. Those days when we were gather together to practise are so fun. Although it was tiring because we must practise from after school until evening, but we love it we enjoyed that time. We fight together, we felt up and down together, we tried to gave our best. On the day when we displayed our performance we felt excited and after that we felt sad and we were crying together because we knew we should back to our daily routine as a student without gather to practise anymore especially that was my last year with them in high school. Our sadness did not last long because at the end of the event we heard that we became the winner for best performance. We hugged each other to show our happiness.

             My high school life was so awesome because of them. They are so meaningful for me, they made me feeling like i was not alone there. They like my second home, every time I felt sad and need their help they always being there for me. When we were being together we always laughed and that made another felt envy of us.

One of Jakartas's Biggest Problem : The Annual Flood

        Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia. Jakarta has the biggest number of human population. According to a survey, in Indonesia Jakarta is in the first place and in the world Jakarta is in the second place. Total population in Jakarta 9.992.842 people. Jakarta is a metropolitan city which has same level with province, headed by a governor. Therefore Jakarta has the biggest population in Indonesia, then there must be a lot of place for them to live. People could see in Jakarta almost no vacant land. Because of that Jakarta's land lacks of water absorption. One of Jakarta's problem is the annual flood, one of the causes is Jakarta's land lacks of water absorption.

        One of Jakarta's biggest problem is annual flood.  Every year,  Jakarta always had floods that would being happen in rainy season. There are somen reasons that cause annual flood among others land of Jakarta lacks of water absorption, people littering, land subsidence, and lost of mangrove forests, and high waves in the waters of Jakarta and the high tide that occurred simultaneously with the rain making increasingly besieged in Jakarta's water. The annual floods in Jakarta will cause another problems. The problems are diseases, traffic jam, inhibited daily activities, some people would lost their homes and family members, and they would suffer loss. There are so many problems that would be happen if this disaster is not immediately addressed by all of people.

        There are some solutions that might help to resolve the annual floods in Jakarta. First, the government should make regulations for not littering. These regulations must be run in earnest even the leaders must do these regulations. Second, the government need to clean up the rivers. Considering that rivers in Jakarta are so dirty, full of trash that make not going flow of water in rivers. When the rainy season is come, water in the river would overflow into the streets and causes floods. Third, reforestation must carried out in Jakarta's center area. This solution is not only for the government but also for the citizen, for example the government plants trees in city parks, sidewalks and other public places area and for the citizen, they can plant the trees in their yards.
      
        Jakarta's problem should be taken care of all people in Jakarta including the government and citizen. This problem is not only the responsibility of the government but all of people should take a part to resolve the problem. All of us should have an awareness to keep our environment clean.
