Why don't you choose SMK?

 


Choose the correct word in the bracket to complete the sentences in the paragraph below!

When I was a third-year student of SMP, SMP 1 TULIS, I had been dreaming of being a student of SMK JUTEX PEKALONGAN, which belongs to the textile group. My choice met the economic conditions of my parents, as only poor villager-farmers in CLUWUK, SUBAH. At that time, I thought that being a graduate of SMK was (easier, more easy) to getting any job; (compared, comparing) with a graduate of SMA. Students learning in SMK will study a lot of life skills, such as; typing, operating computers, repairing machines, etc

Hence, (being, be) a student of SMK is (more skillful, skillfuler)than those of SMA. SMK students will get (applicativer, more applicative) courses; which are needed in the world of work. I enrolled to be a student of SMA, however; instead of being a student of SMK. One of my teachers in SMP led me (be, to be, being)a student of SMA Negeri 1 PEKALONGAN. My teacher said, "There, you'll be (more competitive, competitiver)than that in other schools; more over, you're smart enough to be one of the students in that favorite school." Finally, I was (happy, happier)to be a (commuting, commuted)student in(better, the best) SMA in the Residency of PEKALONGAN, SMANSA PEKALONGAN. A senior high school that brought me to be a student of the ENGLISH DEPARTMENT, FACULTY of LETTERS, UNS SEBELAS MARET UNIVERSITY, SURAKARTA; through PMDK, new student recruitment for the big ten rank students in the classroom. Now, I'm an English teacher of SMK 1 BATANG, however. After being a three-year honorarium teacher and getting the certificate of teaching license, AKTA  IV, from UT, UNIVERSITAS TERBUKA, I'm a candidate for stabled teacher of government.

English Discussion


 

Practical English


 English is a West Germanic language in the Indo-European language family, with its earliest forms spoken by the inhabitants of early medieval England.[3][4][5] It is named after the Angles, one of the ancient Germanic peoples that migrated to the island of Great Britain. Existing on a dialect continuum with Scots and then most closely related to the Low German and Frisian languages, English is genealogically Germanic. However, its vocabulary also shows major influences from French (about 28% of Modern English words) and Latin (also about 28%),[6] plus some grammar and a small amount of core vocabulary influenced by Old Norse (a North Germanic language).[7][8][9] Speakers of English are called Anglophones.

The earliest forms of English, collectively known as "Old English", evolved from a group of North Sea Germanic dialects brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th century and further mutated by Norse-speaking Viking settlers starting in the 8th and 9th centuries. Middle English began in the late 11th century after the Norman Conquest of England, when considerable Old French (especially Old Norman French) and Latin-derived vocabulary was incorporated into English over some three hundred years.[10][11] Early Modern English began in the late 15th century with the start of the Great Vowel Shift and the Renaissance trend of borrowing further Latin and Greek words and roots into English, concurrent with the introduction of the printing press to London. This era notably culminated in the King James Bible and the works of William Shakespeare.[12][13]

Modern English grammar is the result of a gradual change from a typical Indo-European dependent-marking pattern with a rich inflectional morphology and relatively free word order to a mostly analytic pattern with little inflection and a fairly fixed subject–verb–object word order.[14] Modern English relies more on auxiliary verbs and word order for the expression of complex tensesaspects and moods, as well as passive constructionsinterrogatives, and some negation.

Modern English has spread around the world since the 17th century as a consequence of the worldwide influence of the British Empire and the United States of America. Through all types of printed and electronic media in these countries, English has become the leading language of international discourse and the lingua franca in many regions and professional contexts such as science, navigation, and law.[3] English is the most spoken language in the world[15] and the third most spoken native language in the world, after Standard Chinese and Spanish.[16] It is the most widely learned second language and is either the official language or one of the official languages in 59 sovereign states. There are more people who have learned English as a second language than there are native speakers. As of 2005, it was estimated that there were over 2 billion speakers of English.[17] English is the majority native language in the United Kingdom, the United States, CanadaAustraliaNew Zealand, and the Republic of Ireland (see Anglosphere) and is widely spoken in some areas of the CaribbeanAfricaSouth AsiaSoutheast Asia, and Oceania.[18] It is the co-official language of the United Nationsthe European Union, and many other international and regional organisations. English accounts for at least 70% of speakers of the Germanic language branch of the Indo-European family.

Speaking Section

A.Speech
By SMK N 1 BATANG 2004 
 Good morning, Your Excellency Mr. And Mrs. Examiners (Jurists), entire the speech and debate contestants, and all the distinguished guests. Thanks to the examiners who give a chance to give my speech in front of you. Ladies and gentlemen, in this occasion I will speak about how to overcome the juvenile delinquency as my topic of speech. As we understand that young people we sometimes call teenagers are periods when they try to find out their identity. So that, in this period, a young men and women is looking for what she or he will be, wants to be, and dreams of. She or he is in trial and error period. We can imagine that that a young boy is looking for something he does not understand much. Of course, he will find some failures anytime. Think of also! A young girl who tries to influence her idol, perhaps a well known actress, while she does not know who she is, of course, will get a disappointment then. A young boy and girl who dream of something but their dreams never come true; hence he will get frustrated easily. From this typical period; ladies and gentlemen, we can guess what the teenagers who are emotional, very green in experience and norm or religious values, will do. They, indeed, will run to something bad and wrong both in the point of view of religious and social values. Smoking, drinking drug, and uncontrolled interaction, such as, join the bad gangs, etc. will be easily done by these frustrated young men and women; especially by the teenagers. Consequently, many teenagers do bad and wrong activities; like, playing truant, stealing their friend’s money, fighting among the gangs from the same school or different school gangs, speeding by their motorcycles on the road etc. Those bad conduct and activity are some of juvenile delinquency, or teenager crime. Ladies and gentlemen, we can imagine that our country will be …if our next generation is in such bad condition that our generation becomes weaker and weaker, more stupid, lazier. Consequently, our country will loose the good human resource. It means, our country will becomes worse and worse. So that, ladies and gentlemen, we should think of the best solution for this juvenile delinquency; otherwise we will find our next generation are a generation that does not competitive with other generation in the world. Of course, we do not want to see that our generation will underdog in the global competition. We do not want to see that or generations are smokers, drug drinkers, and troublemakers on this world. Ladies and gentlemen, we should make a great effort to solve these problems. And the best solution for those problems is a much better religious and social value education. With this solution, we will overcome the social problems in general; and particularly juvenile delinquency in the society. Ladies and gentlemen, I think that’s all; the better religious and social values education should be carried out; other wise we will loose our good generation in the future. And this is the end of my speech, thanks. B.Debate National Examination is still needed Affirmative: A1: National exam is such exam done by the school nationally. It means this last test determining the final result of teaching and learning process for the students in the last year in a certain school; such as, College, etc. As the test is very carried out integrally, this test is very effective to measure the students’ ability objectively. Consequently, the result of test tends to be used as a standard of measurement. A2: As we know, our government is building the national program for the education on the basis of global standard. So that, we can think of it! How powerful, important the national exam is since the test will be same in their difficulty, easiness, and complexity. A3: As the national exam is a kind of standard test, the students in our country will have the national capability and ability. In addition, national exam is a national standard of measurement for the students in our country to compete objectively. Negative N1: In my opinion, as national exam is done nationally, integrally, it will bring many difficulties in procedures and fees. We can imagine how complex is the problem should be done by our government to prepare that kind of test. It means our government will be busier to face that national test. N2: Well! Everybody, as the national exam is done in the same time, difficulty; this test sometimes can not measure the students’ ability accurately, since the preparation needs more times, more attention. N3: And the last! How can this national exam measure accurately if the students’ ability is different from other students in different regions? A clever student in a certain region will be considered an average one in another region. Western Culture is a threat for Indonesian society A1: Western culture is a culture coming from the western countries, especially American-English countries. This culture usually refers to a bad culture in the point of view of eastern society. It means, the culture from western countries is considered bad, negative, or not suitable in eastern countries, such as in Indonesia. A2: Everybody! We can watch western films in TV, how dangerous are the western culture for our society. Free sex, violence, and other irreligious conducts are often seen in western films. So that, it will influence our society; well known as a familiar, civilized, and religious society. A3: And the result? We can observe our society; our young generation nowadays. They wear, live, and dream of like what the western young generation does. Hence, the western culture is a threat for our society, because of its bad impacts. Negative N1: Western culture, in our opinion, does not always bring bad, negative, wrong and useless things. Many aspects of western culture also bring positive effects toward our society. Their science, technology and knowledge will help our society to develop. N2: Beside that! We can imagine ‘can a country develop from their own culture with out the influence of other culture?” Ok! We may live in peace; But, can our country live isolatedly in this global age? I think it’s such an impossibility…ridiculous thing to live without other culture’s influence. N3: And the last but not finished! The western culture is not a threat for our society; if …our people are clever enough to accept it. A threat or support the western culture will be. It depends on the way we see, accept and use. If we see only the wrong, bad, and useless aspect of the western culture, of course, we’ll find out that western culture is bad, wrong and useless; but if we see it as the positive, good, and useful aspect; we’ll get many advantage from the western culture. All depends on us. 3. TV Program is NOT good for Student Affirmative A1: Well, everybody! TV program is a program managed by TV crew for TV. TV program is usually arranged timely, like a schedule or timetable of our lessons. It can be entertainment, science, education, or culture. A2: My brother and sisters! If we observe the TV program nowadays, we can see that TV program is mostly entertainment. They can be quiz, film, telenovela, and music, as the like. And we know, the school age children, for example, mostly see film. It means most students almost watch TV daily. We can imagine what will happen if the students spend their times for film daily. They will be lazy to study; even they have no time for study since their times are for the serial films they like most. A3: And, consequently; as we know most films often offer a life style; such as free sex, violence and profane life style; a life style which thinks just worldly life; the easy going life style. That bad impact, of course, will influence the student’s life style. That’s all… Negative N1: Well, guys! We admit that most TV program is entertainment. And everybody, including student, enjoys the entertainment. But, there are also other good aspects from TV program, such as; knowledge, science, education, culture and technology. N2: And in addition, it is not wrong for students to have entertainment for relax, such as film, tele novela, etc. The important thing is how we can choose which is the bad or wrong, not suitable for students. Furthermore, clever students, of course, will not spend their times for films since they can see which is bad or wrong. N3: And the last! Let’s think what will happen if there is not TV in the world; or students are allowed to watch TV. The students need many knowledge, science and information. With TV program, the students can improve their knowledge, information and skill. That’s all, thanks.
