Narrative

Experienced on Car Stuck

The holiday was over; it was the sign for me to go back to Semarang. It was the best place for me to study. I had big ambition. It was to improve my GPA in the following semester.

‘I must study vigorously in the fourth semester.” I said softly when I was preparing lunch. “Study hard is my priority. Father, mother you will be proud of me.” Suddenly, my fantasy vanished because my father arrived. He drove an old car which sounds was very loud rough. My family used to call it Si Gesit. I run quickly to open the gate. I took a look to our blue old car which the paint began to abrade while the bumper began to rust. The dent of the right and left side on that car remembered me an accident. It happened when for the first time I tried to park Si Gesit but I bumped the wall of our garage.

My father approached to me after parking Si Gesit. “My dear, can you guess?” my father asked mysteriously. “Guess what, father?” I replayed curiously. “I have a ticket for you”, my father said “Ticket for you to go back to Semarang.” I was very happy at that time.

The date on the ticket showed that I must go back to Semarang on Sunday, first March 2015 at 7 a.m. I was very surprise after knowing that I must go to the bus agency an hour before the bus departed since my house was far from that place. “It is too early father.” I declared. “Do not worry my dear. As long as we have Si Gesit every problem will be solved.” My father explained confidently. I returned to the dining room then took a look on a calendar. “I just have only a day to prepare anything father.” I cried.

I woke up very early on Sunday morning to make sure I would not late. For several times I also rechecked my bag to make sure that there is no one of the things were missing. But, how shocked I was when I knew my father who had promised to accompany me to the bus agency was still sleeping. My mother initiative awaken my father. I felt this morning was the busy time that I ever had.

After everything was ready, my father, my mother, my little sister and I departed from our house by car. My father drove very fast since the limited time we had. We must go through 30 km to arrive to the bus agency. We just had passed for about 10 km when Si Gesit stopped unexpectedly. It was stuck in the middle of the street. How panic we were. Although, our old car was commonly stuck but it was the wrong time for it happened.

 “This is your fault father.” My little sister said. “You do not check the car condition a day before. Do not you?” My mother added. “Father, how can this happen in such situation?” I said.  My mother, my little sister and I blamed my father since he did not check the car condition a day before. In fact, Si Gesit was ran out of gasoline. My father did not pay attention toward our blame. He borrowed an old bicycle from someone he did not know then paddled very fast seek for gasoline.

Ten minutes latter, I saw my father came back brought two bottles full of gasoline. He looked very tired but still spread nice smile. His face was full of sweat. “Do not worry, we will arrive on time my dear.” He tried to make me quite. “It is ok father.” I replied slowly while tried not to cry. I only saw my father effort from inside the car. I just realized that my father was very care about me. He would do anything for his family. I considered every one had a chance to make mistake including my father that did not check the car condition a day before. But, that mistake was nothing than his attempt.

My father full fills the gasoline to the tank by himself. At that time our car became center of people attention. They saw at us strangely. But, my family was accustomed with such condition. Moreover I also ever had experienced in car stuck when I drove alone.

After waiting several time finally my family could continuous our passage. My father drove like a jet. “Let’s go for having races!”cried my father. I was rather fearful eventually we could arrive in the bus agency. I was about to late but the bus driver was very kind to let me enter he bus. Every one on the bus seemed angry with me but actually it just only my feeling.

During in the way, I was thinking about my family who very care about me. I also thought about Si Gesit that was commonly stuck in the middle of the way but it stored various stories of our family. We found of Si Gesit although it was too old for having far travel.  Suddenly my phone rang. My mother texted me to inform that Si Gesit was stuck again because of trouble on its machine. I though instant that may be my family was the only one who very experienced about car stuck.

Third Speaker of Affirmative Team

Motion : This House Should be Legalized Drug

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. I am Deska Aulia Sari. I am third speaker of affirmative team. We support legalization of drug because be believe that drug are not totally bring negative impact to the society ladies and gentlemen.

Negative teams believe that Drugs are dangerous, and they also believe the government should prevent its use. But it is not true. Because drugs truly has special function. Basically psychotropic (of the type of drug) can be used for medical service and in science development, for instance, the opium for threat dearrea, morphine for treat serious injury, cannabis  as the sedative before surgery and diazepam for treat anxiety, insomnia, problem muscle and other psycho neurotic condition. Unfortunately people around the world don’t know about the function of drug itself. So they assume all the drug whatever drugs are very dangerous.

Second, the negative teams also believe that drugs can cause the spread of crime in the society. It is also not true. Because legalization of drug can be use for fight against the mafia. Like in Uruguay, that state legalized the cannabis. So the government of Uruguay regulate and organized the cannabis trade which mafia organized before. That policy also make the cannabis price are stable.

Here I am going to deliver our team point toward the legalization of drugs. 

First, drugs are safer when legal.

Why drugs are not safe when it is illegal? Because of the highest price of drugs. It makes some dishonest producer do some cheating, they mix some dangerous  substance like chalk and talcum powder into the drug to get  more profit. At least when drugs are legalized the state can regulate their production to make sure that they are clean and not cut with other dangerous substances. So it will minimize the risk to users. Like in Canada. That state provide special machine for their citizen  to get and enjoy drug. This policy is one of the way to minimize the spread of dangerous illness cause of drug.

Second, Legalization drug reduces crime.

Because state can control the drug trade so there is no mafia anymore which can manipulate the drugs price.

Third, Legal drugs would increase tax revenue.

Because beside shut the illegal trade, legalization of drug also will increase the state tax revenue. You can imagine, every year American government spent more that 44 million dollar for against the drug trade. It is not such a small amount of money ladies and gentlemen. On the other hand, if drug are legalized so the state exactly will increase tax revenue. That tax will be use for prosperous the citizen.

The last, every people have right to take drugs.

In this case people have their right to make decision to choose their life. State do not have privilege to ban the individual right. This state would better to make rules and campaign about the risk of consuming drug without proper dose. Or state also can provide special machine to get drug.

For all the reasons named above we proudly propose that drug should be legalized. Thanks.

Cultures

Behavior that Common in Western but not in Indonesia

Having sex on dating is very common in Western countries. It is become their culture since they want to know deeper about their spouse. They can do having sex although on their first meeting. But In Indonesia having sex before marriage is forbidden since it can trigger many problem for instance healthy problem and morality problem. Indonesian also reject having sex before marriage because they still consider of eastern culture which respect with high etiquette.

Kissing in the public area is also very common in western countries. They think that kissing is one of the ways to express their love. But In Indonesia kissing in the public area will occur some big problem. Beside impolite, it also breaks the social norm.

Drink beer in Western countries is very common, for they can forget for a while with their life problems. They can talk anything unconsciously. Beer also can bring quietness. Beside that beer also have function to warm their body since they live in the four season countries which the weather are extreme. But in Indonesia beer is illegal. Because beer is intoxicate so people who drink beer can not control their selves. The stereo type developed in Indonesia the people who common drink beer is considered as the bad person.

Cohabitation in the United States is often seen as a natural step in the dating process. People may live together for a number of reasons. Cohabitants could live together in order to save money, because of the convenience of living with another, or a need to find housing. Most couples listed reasons such as spending more time together, convenience based reasons, and testing their relationships, while few gave the reason that they do not believe in marriage. Indonesian society very refuses cohabitation, for these activities not relevance with the Indonesia norm that emphasize gloriousness value. In Indonesia, an Islamic penal code proposed in 2005 would have made cohabitation punishable by up to two years in prison

Hortatory Exposition

Problematic of Final Project

Final project is the requirement for every student in order to get under graduation title. On the other hand, it becomes the main problem for several students. Realizing that, minister of education make a discourse. The final project does not become the only requirement for graduate from university, yet student can do research or make subservient in the society. 

Every student has different competence one another. Base on the physiologist, lecturer should be realize that every student is born bring unique factor.  There are student who very interested in writing, but there are student who interested in the other field. Thus, standardizing graduation requirement seems ineffective to be applied anymore.

The long process of making final project also becomes one of the student obstructions in finishing their study. Feeling bored, tired, and saturated are some effect cause of final project which spend much time. Because of that, not few student who choose not to continuous their final project. This is only make worse Indonesian education image in the world.

This condition is used by the group of people who work as service provider of making final project. They offer an instance service making the final project for student. The price which is offered by the service provider is also quite inexpensive. Therefore not few students prefer to use this service provider.

Final Project gives a lot of negative things than positive. Thus, final project should be changed with other program which is more effective and useful. For example scientific work and subservient in the society. The government also should be realized that student competences are different one another.
