Pat 1. Understanding
Hello students, are you ready for the material?
Today, we’re going to learn about Analytical Exposition Text.
An analytical exposition is a type of spoken or written text that is intended to persuade the listeners or readers that something is the case.
To make the persuasion stronger, the speaker or writer gives some arguments as the fundamental reasons why something is the case. This type of text can be found in scientific books, journals, magazines, newspaper articles, academic speech or lectures, research report etc.
Analytical expositions are popular among science, academic community and educated people. The generic structure of analytical exposition usually has three components: (1) Thesis, (2) Arguments and (3) Reiteration or conclusion.
A. Generic Structure of Analytical Exposition
Thesis : Introduces the topic and shows speaker or writer’s position; Outlines of the arguments are presented.
Arguments : It consists about Point and Elaboration. Point, states the main argument. Elaboration, develops and supports each point of argument
Conclusion : Reiteration (restatement), restates speaker or writer’s position
B. Generic Features
An analytical exposition focuses on generic human and non human participants.
It uses mental processes. It is used to state what the writer or speaker thinks or feels about something. For example: realize, feel etc.
It uses emotive and evaluative words
It often needs material processes. It is used to state what happens, e.g. ….has polluted… etc.
It usually uses Simple Present Tense and Present Perfect Tense.
Enumeration is sometimes necessary to show the list of given arguments: Firstly, secondly …, Finally, etc
Now, look at the following example:
Computer and internet are useful as well as powerful. Information about health and safe usage of computer and Internet, especially for children, should be owned by each family. Computer connected to internet is powerful way to socialize with others. It can be good but also bad effect. Recently we hear a lot of children get the advantage of social networking sites but we often see the news about the disadvantage of it for children. Healthy and safety of computer and Internet usage should continue to be campaigned.
The role of parent in assisting and directing children in using computer is very necessary. Installation of software monitor such as key logger which has function to watch and note all activities relating to keyboard usage is helpful but not enough to protect children from potential harms. Children tend to hide what they have done in front of the computer to their parent. They see that all of they have done are their privacy and no one may know.
We can not prevent children from using computer because it is multifunctional. However, many parents worry about what their kids do in front of the computer; whether they are doing homework or even just playing games. Or spending all time to surf internet which is the materials do not fit with his age. There is a tendency, especially teenagers, want to become acquainted with many strangers out side. The lack parental supervision of children’s activities is likely to pose a potential danger to them. So parental monitor against the use of computers needs to be done from time to time.

Part 2 Example
1 Cars should be banned in the city
Cars should be banned in the city. As we all know, cars create pollution, and cause a lot of road deaths and other accidents.
Firstly, cars, as we all know, contribute to most of the pollution in the world. Cars emit a deadly gas that causes illnesses such as bronchitis, lung cancer, and ‘triggers’ of asthma. Some of these illnesses are so bad that people can die from them.
Secondly, the city is very busy. Pedestrians wander everywhere and cars commonly hit pedestrians in the city, which causes them to die. Cars today are our roads biggest killers.
Thirdly, cars are very noisy. If you live in the city, you may find it hard to sleep at night, or concentrate on your homework, and especially talk to someone.
In conclusion, cars should be banned from the city for the reasons listed.
2 Is Smoking Good for Us?
Before we are going to smoke, it is better to look at the fact. About 50 thousands people die every year in Britain as direct result of smoking. This is seven times as many as die in road accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers die because of diseases caused by smoking.
Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five cigarettes a day, we are six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a non smoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is nineteen greater. Ninety five percent of people who suffer of bronchitis are people who are smoking. Smokers are two and half times more likely to die of heart disease than non smokers.
Additionally, children of smoker are more likely to develop bronchitis and pneumonia. In one hour in smoky room, non smoker breathes as much as substance causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen cigarettes.
Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because they do make much money from smoking habit. Smoking however is not good for every body else.
Example of Analytical Exposition Text about Computer Technology for Children
3.Controlling Children Using Computer
Computer and internet are useful as well as powerful. Information about health and safe usage of computer and Internet, especially for children, should be owned by each family. Computer connected to internet is powerful way to socialize with others. It can be good but also bad effect. Recently we hear a lot of children get the advantage of social networking sites but we often see the news about the disadvantage of it for children. Healthy and safety of computer and Internet usage should continue to be campaigned.
The role of parent in assisting and directing children in using computer is very necessary. Installation of software monitor such as key logger which has function to watch and note all activities relating to keyboard usage is helpful but not enough to protect children from potential harms. Children tend to hide what they have done in front of the computer to their parent. They see that all of they have done are their privacy and no one may know.
We can not prevent children from using computer because it is multifunctional. However, many parents worry about what their kids do in front of the computer; whether they are doing homework or even just playing games. Or spending all time to surf internet which is the materials do not fit with his age. There is a tendency, especially teenagers, want to become acquainted with many strangers out side. The lack parental supervision of children’s activities is likely to pose a potential danger to them. So parental monitor against the use of computers needs to be done from time to time.
4.Why is It Important to Choose the Accredited School?
Most of teenagers need to go to school and there are a lot of schools over there. Nowadays, schools grow to offer plenty of choice; private and state ones. However it is a hard choice since there are many factors which need to be considered before making the selection. Some will be influenced by friends; because some friend got to certain school than we go to there too. Some prefer to choose certain school because of the closer distance. In fact, the primary decisive matter for selecting school is whether the school has been accredited or not.
Why is important to choose an accredited school? Well, accredited schools have an edge over the unaccredited schools. This label of Accredited School has an impact in employment opportunities. As result, if there are two or more students with similar qualifications, the student who comes from the accredited school will have an edge over the other candidate. Student from an accredited school has more open door than student with an accredited one.
Many students select certain school depending more on short term factors like friend influence and short distance from home. It is not bad since commuting actually needs much cost. Choosing school which is closer to home will save time, energy and money. However if that school is not accredited, the time and money spent along studying seems to be waste in the long term because it could become a limiting factor in gaining future opportunities.
Accredited school is not the only factor which will drive student’s success. Personality and characterization are very important too. However a student with good personality who comes from an accredited school is better than the others.
5. The Impact of Social Media on Society
Thesis
Social media has become an integral part of our lives, transforming the way we communicate and interact. While it offers many benefits, it is important to critically examine the impact of social media on society and consider both its positive and negative aspects.
Argumentation
Firstly, social media enhances connectivity and communication. It allows people to connect with friends, family, and communities regardless of geographical boundaries. It provides a platform for sharing ideas, information, and experiences, fostering a sense of belonging and promoting cultural exchange. It has revolutionized activism and social movements, empowering individuals to raise awareness and create social change.
Secondly, social media has a significant impact on mental health. Excessive use of social media has been linked to increased feelings of loneliness, depression, and anxiety. The constant exposure to carefully curated images and unrealistic portrayals can lead to low self-esteem and body image issues, especially among young people. It is important to use social media mindfully and promote healthy online habits.
Furthermore, social media has influenced the spread of misinformation and fake news. The ease of sharing information on social media platforms has led to the rapid dissemination of unverified or false information, which can have serious consequences for society. It is crucial for individuals to critically evaluate the information they encounter and verify its authenticity before sharing.
Conclusion
Social media has both positive and negative impacts on society. While it enhances connectivity and communication, it also has detrimental effects on mental health and contributes to the spread of misinformation.
6.Advantages of Using Renewable Energy
Thesis
Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydropower, offer numerous advantages over traditional fossil fuels. They play a crucial role in combating climate change and promoting a sustainable future. Therefore, it is important to understand the benefits of renewable energy and support its widespread adoption.
Argumentation
Renewable energy sources are environmentally friendly. Unlike fossil fuels, they produce minimal greenhouse gas emissions, reducing the impact of climate change and air pollution. They help to mitigate global warming and decrease our dependence on finite fossil fuel reserves, promoting a cleaner and more sustainable environment.
Renewable energy sources are abundant and inexhaustible. The sun, wind, and water are natural resources that can be harnessed to generate clean energy. Unlike fossil fuels, which are finite and subject to depletion, renewable energy sources provide a long-term and sustainable solution to meet our energy needs.
Furthermore, renewable energy sources offer economic benefits. The renewable energy industry has the potential to create jobs and stimulate
economic growth. Investments in renewable energy projects can drive innovation, foster technological advancements, and provide opportunities for local communities. It can also reduce energy costs in the long run, as renewable energy becomes more affordable and accessible.
Conclusion
Renewable energy sources offer significant advantages over traditional fossil fuels. They are environmentally friendly, abundant, and provide economic benefits. By transitioning to renewable energy, we can combat climate change, reduce pollution, and create a sustainable future. It is crucial to support and invest in renewable energy initiatives to secure a cleaner and more prosperous planet for future generations.
7. Learning English through Music
Thesis
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.
Argumentation
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.
8. Trash Management
Thesis
Management of trash is very important in Indonesia. As one of the countries with big amount of trash from many sectors, proper management is necessary.
Argumentation
Firstly, it is important to provide healthy environment. When the trash is not managed well, it will create area where bacteria can live.
Moreover, it can cause some health issues, and breathing issues become one of them that can be caused by bed smell of the trash.
Furthermore, bad management of trash can lead to flood. When it is not managed well, trash can block the flow of water. As the result, water debit can increase during the rainy season and the channels of water cannot deliver the water well.
Conclusion
That is why it is very important to manage the trash and it is better to promote the recycling process.
Thesis:
I believe that the homeschooling system is not the best education system. However, many parents believe that no other education systems are better than homeschooling.
But I think this education system won’t wrap the entire learning aspects that usually are reached by formal schools, like the socialization, learning process, and kids’ self-development.
Arguments:
Learning process given by the school is about how to understand the content or material of every single subject. It is also about how to experience what happens in the surroundings directly.
Homeschooling students will only decide which pace that they really want the most and which subject they will learn deeper than the other subjects.
Also, homeschooling students will only socialize with family and people around them. Those students won’t encounter anything bad and they won’t learn how to react to something bad around them.
Finally, the homeschooling program with one to one learning won’t guarantee that the students have an excellent development to face the real future.
Those students won’t know how to control the problem and face any problem. They are all surrounded by good things and safety provided by the parents and family.
Conclusion:
The homeschooling educational system won’t make the students successfully educated. This new educational system is like a controller for the development of the students.
It shows us that homeschooling is not the option to educate or teach kids.

Thesis:
Children all around the world are getting fatter and fatter. The lifestyle adopted by those kids makes this trend worse. How can you help them become healthier?
There is no better way to help those kids than involving them in sports.
Arguments:
Sports will keep your kids active, strong, healthy, and fit. Kids’ bodies need daily exercise every single day. Scientists have shown that kids who play some sports have better health than those who don’t.
There are so many types of sports that your kids can choose. Netball and soccer can be the best option for winter. And for summer, cricket and softball are the best ideas.
You can also help your kids to enjoy some other sports like basketball, tennis, and gymnastics all year round. No matter where you live or what you like, there is always sport for everyone.
Sports will also help your kids to make new friends. They need friends to do some sports. By meeting their friends, your kids will be able to learn how to conduct teamwork and trust each other.
Conclusion:
Your kids will be healthier and will love sports if you introduce them to fun sports in their early ages. Sports will also bring them some new friends and learn many things.
Tesis:
In this practical era, people in a city tend to consume fast food. Some of them have no time to cook or make their own meals. Besides its efficiency, fast food is considered to be more delicious and prestigious than traditional food such as ketoprak, pecel or gado-gado However, many experts consider that fast food is not good for our health.
In the 1940's, fast food found popularity in the United States Fast food restaurants spread rapidly within a few years Oddly, obesity and cancer started to rise at the same time.
Arguments:
Fast food contains so many additives. To ensure low-costs, they are made with highly processed ingredients to give extended life, to maintain consistency, and to make it more delicious, the original healthy form has to be altered.
Calories in fast food do not damage health, but chemical additives do such as monosodium glutamate and aspartame. Studies show that fast food contains chemical additives. Thus, there is absolutely no nutrition in fast food. Fast food only satisfies hunger and cravings.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, fast food is not good for our health.
Do you agree with the saying that music is one of the most important aspects of our lives? Yes, I agree. Music definitely has a significant role in our daily activities. There are several reasons
why music is everywhere.
First of all, music is a way to express what we feel For instance, when we fall in love, we tend to listen to love songs. Another example is when we feel sad, we would listen to melancholy music, and sometimes we purposefully immerse ourselves in our emotion. it also happens when we are happy, we tend to choose cheerful songs.
Secondly, mussic helps us to reminisce about past experiences. A person's favorite song could act as a documentary for that person People with impaired brain function, like Alzheimer's, would remember the details of songs they are familiar with For instance, an elderly woman who couldn't even remember her husband's name would remember the details of how her favorite song influenced her feelings. When she listened to the music, she would associate it with the emotion that came along with the music It made the song memorable for her.
Finally, music can motivate people to make significant changes in the world and make it a better place A song with powerful lyrics could move people to do something about the problem implied in the song As an example, we can see it in Michael Jackson's "Heal the World". The lyrics empower the people of the world.
So, try to imagine that a world without music would be bland.
14 The Benefits of Early Childhood Education
Thesis:
Early childhood education plays a crucial role in a child's development. It provides a foundation for future learning and contributes to their overall growth and success.
Therefore, it is important to understand the benefits of early childhood education and support its implementation.
Argumentation:
Firstly, early childhood education enhances cognitive development. During the early years, children's brains are rapidly developing, and quality education in a stimulating environment can foster their cognitive skills, problem-solving abilities, and critical thinking.
It lays the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning and prepares them for academic success. Secondly, early childhood education promotes social and emotional development.
Through interaction with peers and teachers, children learn important social skills such as sharing, communication, and cooperation. They also develop emotional intelligence, self-regulation, and empathy, which are crucial for building healthy relationships and navigating the challenges of life.
Furthermore, early childhood education prepares children for future success. Research shows that children who participate in high-quality early education programs are more likely to perform well academically, graduate from high school, and pursue higher education or successful careers.
They develop a strong foundation in literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving, setting them up for a lifetime of achievement. Critics may argue that early childhood education is not necessary and that children should simply play and explore.
While play is an essential part of early childhood, structured educational programs provide a balanced approach that combines play-based learning with intentional teaching, maximizing the child's learning potential.
Reiteration:
In reiteration, early childhood education offers numerous benefits for children's cognitive, social, and emotional development. It prepares them for future success, both academically and in life.
Therefore, it is important to invest in high-quality early childhood education programs and ensure that all children have access to these opportunities for their optimal growth and development.

1.Passive smoking is a silent killer
Student A: Do you know that passive smoking is more dangerous than active
smoking?
Student B: I know, but I think it is not as dangerous as people say it is.
Student A: I believe that second-hand smoke is very dangerous. Passive smokers have a risk of getting dangerous diseases three times greater than active smokers.
Student B: Yes. However, the dangers of passive smoking are not as much as we think. Passive smoking has a risk of heart disease and heart attack, but this danger can be minimized by avoiding active smokers.
Student A: Yes. But if passive smokers are always exposed to cigarette smoke, then the negative impact on health is worse than active smokers.
Student B: Do you have an elaboration of your opinion?
Student A: Passive smoker has a risk of heart disease and heart attack. Because there is damage to blood vessels caused by unfiltered cigarette smoke.
Student B: Then, what differentiates the risks from active smokers?
Student A: Cigarettes generally have toxin filters in them, so active smokers have less risk. Meanwhile, passive smokers inhale smoke and toxins that are not filtered.
Student B: I agree that the risk of passive smoking is greater, so we must avoid smoking environments.
2. Why is learning English important?

Student A: English is spoken as an international language in more than 90 percent of countries. If we go abroad, we will use English to facilitate communication.
Student B: What is the function of learning English for students like us?
Student A: English is often used in conveying information and knowledge at school. So, Indonesian students will have broader insights if they can speak English and regularly use it to find information. In international forums, communications are conducted in English.
Part 4 Q n A
The government should Provide rehabilitation Program for Drug Users
Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the main things they should get. Instead of punishing drug users in prisons, the government should provide rehabilitation for them.
Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the drugs. Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out from traps, which they might accidentally step on.
If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the problem as drug users will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed to them. Providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing them to participate in the programs is better than only arresting them and doing nothing to their illness. Only drug dealers, traffickers, and wholesalers should be imprisoned.

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been serious problem for three reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimens and experiments. Formalin in Biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservatives. Of course when it is used for food preservative, it will be very dangerous to human’s body.
The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This condition makes the people’s health is really in a threat. When the control is weak and the use formalin was spread wide all over the Indonesian regions, and these days it has really happened, the citizen's bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their products which contain formalin and dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our digestive system absorbs the substance that should be for the human and animal corpses?
Considering the reasons, we can make a conclusion that the use of formalin and other preservatives is really a serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.

There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly used may cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product. Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen and applied carefully so that they don’t affect the ecological balance and environment. Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in agriculture and livestock.

24. Nuclear Power
There are three separate sources of hazard in the process of supplying energy by nuclear power.
The radioactive material must travel from its place of manufacture to the power station. Although the power station themselves are solidly built, the container used for the transport of the materials are not. There are normally only two methods of transport available, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these involve close contact with the public, since the routes are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.
Next, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power station produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these waste nonradioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into abandoned mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily crack the containers open.
Finally, there is the problem of accidental exposure due to a leak or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two hazards, this is not very likely, so that it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. Nevertheless, it can happen.
Separately, these three types of risks are not great cause for concern. On the whole through, the probability of disaster is still high.
All the statements are correct, except ……
A. It is not impossible to make these waste nonradioactive.
B. The probability of disaster of nuclear power is still high.
C. All nuclear power will produce waste.
D. The methods found by the scientists do not solve the problem
E. Earthquake is possible to crack the containers open*

There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculturE. Pesticides which are commonly used may cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen and applied carefully so that they don’t affect the ecological balance and environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in agriculture and livestock.
19. Which of the following is not directly affected by pesticides used?
A. Plants

I strongly believe that mobile phones are necessary. My reasons for this belief are that these phones are convenient for business people who travel a lot, and they are handy for emergencies.
To begin with, mobile phones are necessary in the case of emergencies. For instance, if you fall down a set of stairs in a building and are badly injured and can’t reach a pay phone, it is handy to have one to use. Or, if your car breaks down in the middle of the night in a strange neighbourhood, it would be dangerous to leave it in search of a public phone booth.
My other main reason is that mobile phones are convenient for business people. For example, if you are out of the state or even overseas and you have to contact a client to do some important work, it is useful to have one to use. By using a mobile phone, important information can be received. People can’t stay in an office all day waiting for their phone to ring. Some people have to go and do jobs or they will go out of business. You can even send faxes or messages and use the internet with your mobile.
In conclusion, I believe that mobile phones have now become a necessary part of every day life. Instant communication will ensure that information can be passed on with a simple press of a button. Whether this is to do with business or personal information or emergencies, it goes to show that they are necessary in the new millennium.
30. How many reasons are used to support the writer’s opinion?

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been serious problem for three reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimens and experiments. Formalin in Biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservatives. Of course when it is used for food preservative, it will be very dangerous to human’s body.
The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This condition makes the people’s health is really in a threat. When the control is weak and the use formalin was spread wide all over the Indonesian regions, and these days it has really happened, the citizen’s bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their products which contain formalin and dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our digestive system absorbs the substance that should be for the human and animal corpses?

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.
Arti
Belajar bahasa Inggris melalui musik dan lagu bisa sangat menyenangkan. Anda dapat mencampur kesenangan dengan belajar ketika Anda mendengarkan lagu dan memanfaatkan lagu sebagai sarana untuk kemajuan bahasa Inggris Anda. Beberapa alasan yang mendasari dapat ditarik untuk mendukung gagasan mengapa kami menggunakan lagu dalam pembelajaran bahasa.
Pertama, “lagu itu tertancap di kepalaku” Fenomena (suara yang menggema di benak kami dari lagu terakhir yang kami dengar setelah meninggalkan restoran, pusat perbelanjaan, dll) bisa menyenangkan dan terkadang mengerikan. Fenomena ini juga tampaknya memperkuat gagasan bahwa lagu bekerja pada ingatan jangka pendek dan panjang.
Kedua, lagu-lagu pada umumnya juga menggunakan bahasa percakapan sederhana, dengan banyak pengulangan, yang hanya apa yang banyak siswa cari teks sampel. Fakta bahwa mereka efektif membuat mereka berkali-kali lebih memotivasi daripada teks lainnya. Meskipun biasanya sederhana, beberapa lagu dapat sangat kompleks secara sintaksis, leksikal dan puitis, dan dapat dianalisis dengan cara yang sama seperti samplE sastra lainnya.
Selanjutnya, lagu dapat disesuaikan oleh pendengar untuk tujuan mereka sendiri. Sebagian besar lagu pop dan mungkin banyak jenis lainnya tidak memiliki orang, tempat atau waktu referensi yang tepat.
Selain itu, lagu-lagu santai. Mereka memberikan variasi dan kesenangan, dan mendorong harmoni dalam diri sendiri dan dalam satu grup. Tidak heran mereka adalah alat penting dalam mempertahankan budaya, agama, patriotisme dan yeas, bahkan revolusi.
Last but not least, ada banyak kegiatan pembelajaran yang dapat kita lakukan dengan lagu-lagu seperti mempelajari tata bahasa, melatih pemahaman mendengarkan yang selektif, menerjemahkan lagu, belajar kosa kata, ejaan dan kultur.
Dari uraian di atas, dapat disimpulkan bahwa belajar melalui musik dan lagu, belajar bahasa Inggris dapat menyenangkan dan menyenangkan.

To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, a number of dust bins should be increased.
When we look at classrooms, school corridors and school yard, there are paper mineral water cups, straws, and napkins here and therE. The condition of uncleanliness and discomfort really hinders learning and teaching environment. Litters thrown carelessly cause disease, especially empty plastic cup or glasses. They can be filled out with water coming from the rain. This can be placed for dengue mosquitoes to spread out. Besides, these rubbish can deteriorate the scenE. Well painted wall and green school yard do not mean anything litters are scattered everywherE.
Anyway I notice that most of the students in our school have responsibilities for the school environment. They put their litters on the proper places. But some are not diligent enough to find the dust bins. The numbers of dust binds in our schools are not enough. Ore dust bins should be put beside each of steps, outside of the classrooms, and some more also 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, we do not have problems of freak and discomfort any morE. Our school will be very clean and become a nice place to study.

Untuk meningkatkan kenyamanan dan kebersihan di sekolah kami, sejumlah tempat sampah harus ditingkatkan.
Ketika kita melihat ruang kelas, koridor sekolah dan halaman sekolah, ada gelas air mineral kertas, sedotan, dan serbet di sini dan di sana. Kondisi tidak bersih dan tidak nyaman benar-benar menghalangi lingkungan belajar dan mengajar. Litter yang dibuang sembarangan menyebabkan penyakit, terutama gelas atau gelas plastik kosong. Mereka dapat diisi dengan air yang datang dari hujan. Ini bisa ditempatkan untuk nyamuk demam berdarah untuk menyebar. Selain itu, sampah-sampah ini bisa memburuk scenE. Dinding yang dicat dengan baik dan halaman sekolah yang hijau tidak berarti apa pun yang berserakan tersebar di mana-mana.
Pokoknya saya perhatikan bahwa sebagian besar siswa di sekolah kami memiliki tanggung jawab untuk lingkungan sekolah. Mereka menempatkan anak-anak mereka di tempat yang tepat. Tetapi ada juga yang tidak cukup rajin mencari tempat sampah. Jumlah debu yang mengikat di sekolah kita tidak cukup. Tempat sampah bijih harus diletakkan di samping setiap langkah, di luar ruang kelas, dan beberapa lagi juga koridor. Mungkin satu tong sampah harus berada di setiap sepuluh meter. Jadi ketika siswa ingin membuang sampah mereka, mereka dapat menemukan tempat sampah dengan mudah.
Ketika sekolah dilengkapi dengan tempat sampah yang cukup, kami tidak memiliki masalah aneh dan ketidaknyamanan morE. Sekolah kami akan sangat bersih dan menjadi tempat yang bagus untuk belajar.

School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. The uniform of a school may differ from others. Why should schools use uniforms? Below are some reasons.
First of all, Notre Dame’s Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998 concerning school uniforms. Their findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms have no direct effect on “substance abuse, behavioral problems or attendancE.” It also claimed a negative effect on student achievements for those students considered ‘pro-school’.
Secondly, uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of belonging to a particular community. As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic standards, which is why a uniform is often adopted by schools which are being reopened with a fresh start after being classified as failing.
Finally, uniform acts as a social leveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes of the school and of each other. In institutions without uniform students are often competitive and worry endlessly about their appearance and the clothes they should wear. Pupils without expensive designer clothes and trainers may be singled out as social outcasts, or stigmatized as being from poor backgrounds. For these reasons many parents prefer uniforms as they save them money on buying clothes for school wear. Considering the findings, schools should implement the uniform as their identity. The government should also publish some kind of rule which makes uniform compulsory for schools.
Arti
Seragam sekolah adalah pakaian khusus yang dikenakan oleh semua siswa dari sekolah tertentu. Seragam sekolah mungkin berbeda dari yang lain. Mengapa sekolah harus menggunakan seragam? Di bawah ini adalah beberapa alasan.
Pertama-tama, Departemen Sosiologi Notre Dame menghasilkan sebuah penelitian pada tahun 1998 tentang seragam sekolah. Temuan mereka menggunakan siswa kelas 10 menunjukkan bahwa seragam tidak memiliki efek langsung pada “penyalahgunaan zat, masalah perilaku atau kehadiran.” Ini juga mengklaim efek negatif pada prestasi siswa untuk siswa yang dianggap ‘pro-sekolah’.
Kedua, seragam membantu menciptakan etos sekolah rasa yang kuat dan rasa memiliki komunitas tertentu. Karena itu mempromosikan disiplin dan membantu menaikkan standar akademik, itulah sebabnya mengapa seragam sering diadopsi oleh sekolah yang dibuka kembali dengan awal yang baru setelah digolongkan gagal.
Akhirnya, seragam bertindak sebagai penyamarataan sosial, di mana semua siswa setara di mata sekolah dan satu sama lain. Dalam institusi tanpa siswa yang seragam seringkali kompetitif dan khawatir tanpa henti tentang penampilan mereka dan pakaian yang harus mereka kenakan. Murid tanpa pakaian dan pelatih yang mahal mungkin dipilih sebagai orang buangan sosial, atau diberi stigma sebagai berasal dari latar belakang miskin. Karena alasan-alasan inilah banyak orang tua lebih suka seragam karena mereka menghemat uang untuk membeli pakaian untuk pakaian sekolah. Mempertimbangkan temuan, sekolah harus menerapkan seragam sebagai identitas mereka. Pemerintah juga harus menerbitkan semacam aturan yang mewajibkan seragam bagi sekolah.
