[TASK 3] A foreign visitor has only one day to spend in your country
A foreign visitor has only one day to spend in your country. Where should this visitor go on that day? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice.
If there are foreign tourists who are visiting our country, and in this condition both only have one day to tour our country, I would suggest tourists to visit the city of Yogyakarta, why.? Because there are so many tourist attractions that can be visited in a relatively short time.
My first suggestion I would recommend tourists to tour the temple, the city’s myriad temples ancestral our country one of the Borobudur Temple. Who does not know Borobudur? This Buddhist temple has 1460 relief panels and 504 Buddha effigies in its complex. Millions of people are yearning to visit the buildings included in this World Wonder Heritages. Not surprisingly, since architecturally and functionally, as the place of worship, Borobudur is attractive. natural that many people from all over the world enter the Borobudur as a place worth visiting in his life. Besides enjoying the temple, you can walk around to the villages around Borobudur, like Karanganyar and Wanurejo to see the activities of people make crafts. You can also go to the top watu Kendil to Borobudur panoramic view from the top. Wait what? No need to worry about an earthquake May 27, 2006, because of Borobudur is not affected at all.
My second suggestion I would recommend for a culinary tour, a tour of a place is incomplete without the typical food tasting area. Sometimes a plate of dishes can tell a lot about the life of local communities, ranging from taste, culture, until the spirit of their lives. Very many culinary in this area, but I would recommend one of the most famous food and become one of the culinary required to be in the sample in Yogyakarta. Culinary it is gudeg, If New York is often referred to as the “Big Apple” and Jakarta as the “Big Durian”, the Jogja might be called “Big Jackfruit” for culinary gudegnya so popular. Delicious cuisine made from young jackfruit as a food must for anyone who is visiting the tourist paradise on the island of Java ini.Gori (young jackfruit) that the gummy cleaned in such a way then cooked in coconut milk with herbs and spices for hours . Once cooked, gori be soft and slightly sweet. Gudeg usually served with sambal goreng krecek (cowhide) spicy, boiled eggs, tofu and tempeh bacem, as well as chicken or chicken bacem opportunistic. As a final touch, gudeg watered areh savory provide distinctive flavor unlike any other.
And my last suggestion is shopping, Yogyakarta is one of the very famous shopping center, it is Malioboro Derived from the Sanskrit word which means a bouquet of flowers, the flowers charms Malioboro be able to attract tourists. Not only full of stories and memories, Malioboro is also a souvenir paradise in the heart of the city of Yogyakarta. Malioboro is a series of history, stories and memories are intertwined in the minds of every person who ever menyambanginya. The charm of this road never fade with age. Exoticism Malioboro continue glowing until now and inspire people, as well as forcing them to return to Yogyakarta. Such sentences early in the poem Melodia Umbu work Landu Paranggi “Love is what makes me feel at home once in a while to survive”, the memories and the love of many people towards Malioboro that makes these roads continue to survive until now.
Maybe it was just a recommendation from me, actually traveled in Yogyakarta is very less when only one day, because of the many attractions that can be visited. Therefore, take some time to visit Yogyakarta.
[TASK 2] Computer Have Made Life Easier and More Convenient
some people say that computer have made life easier and more convenient. other people say that computers have made life more complex and stressful
The advent of the computer is one of the results of the development of the advantaged technology. While some people advocate for the idea that computers have made life more complex and stressful, others support the idea that computers have made life easier and more convenient. In my point of view, computers brought convenience and easiness to our life since they enabled easier access to information and increased qualities of the communication.
First, computers through internet made our access to information easier. Through computers we can collect appropriate data very quickly, store it in the hard disc as long as we want and use it when needed. Search engines such as google, yandex with many features relevant to the characteristics of the information needed enable search of information in few minutes. Social networks such as facebook, twitter have changed traditional sources of information and decreasing the monopolization of the information by the governments. Hence, with the use of computers we spend less time in search for information, and can get it from different sources.
Second, in a globalized world that we live computers made communications faster, visual and cheaper. With the use of email our messages can be delivered to any person in any part of the world in few minutes. In addition, it is convenient because you do not need to mile to the post office, but just click the mouse of your computer from the convenience of your arm chair in order to reach your friends, family members in any part of the world. Internet facilities such as msn, skype made visual communication possible. For example, via skype people not just communicate with their family members and friends, but also make interviews for employment, enrolment into universities. In result, communication has become cheaper, faster and visual.
Finally, I believe that computers have made life easier and more convenient in the ways that it broadened the sources of information and made access more quick, a long with the improving quality of the communication in many ways.
[TASK 1] Grades encourage students to learn
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Grades encourage students to learn. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
Education is one of the most important factors in the development of every country. Therefore, many suggestions have been applied to improve effectively the quality of education and help the students have better scholastic achievements. I believe that grading students is also a good ways to encourage them to learn harder.
For one thing, grading students appears to be the only methods to measure the students’ abilities in study. At universities, there are often many students in each class. Thus, the professors can only evaluate them by tests and examinations. Looking into the test marks, students are able to know which subjects they are good at and which subjects they need to improve. Moreover, in the final exams, the professors will give them problems that cover all of things that they have learned in that term, or even including the knowledge of former terms. If they concentrate on what their teachers teach, review at home and read more books in the libraries, they will get the highest grades. In reverse, the students who do not usually attend classes and use their time at home for other activities, will receive lower marks. If they fail, they have to pay more money and time to study these courses again. Therefore, students must try hard to get the best grades.
Furthermore, having good grades helps the students to find better jobs in future. If a company looks into the resumes of two students, it is obviously that the student who has better scholastic achievement will receive more attention. Getting higher marks proves that he has an appropriate method to study, or maybe he is more intelligent than the another student. Hence, he works for the company more effectively. Therefore, he may be offered an important position with a higher salary.
Finally, if the students have good grades, they will receive a lot of affection from their parents, their relatives and their acquaintances. A businessman who earns billions of dollars every year, is considered to be successful. A football player who brings his team many goals in a season, has many admires from his fans. Similarly, a student who has better scholastic results, will receive the fondness of other people. He becomes his parents’ pride. He will be provided the best conditions to get better education. This is the motive for him to learn harder and harder.
In short, because good marks can give students many advantages in studying at universities, as well as in finding jobs, I strongly agree with the statement that marks are able to encourage them to learn.
