Tornado

Tornado is strong wind, but strong wind not necessarily call tornado, depend on wind speed which accompany. Tornado incident is short between 3-5 minutes. After that there is strong wind which gradually the wind speed become weak, whereas strong wind can happen more than 30 minutes. In fact can happen more than one day with the average speed 20-30 knot, while tornado speed usually can achieve 40-50 km/hour or more with very short duration and not same with storm phenomenon which often bumb into USA, Australian, Philipine, Japan, Korean or Chinese.

Tornado only come from cumulusnimbus cloud, not from monsoon wind rotation or rotation wind as usual. So tornado can move/shift from long press to short press. Tornado very difficult to prediction, but we can know the dangerous signal where tornado will come. The sign is at 10.00 am there is cumulus cloud, between the cloud there is one cloud kind which has boundary edge very clear the colour is grey which towering as cauliflower. The colour cloud will fast change became dark black. Look at trees around the place where we stand up, are there branch or twig that has been rock fast. If there, so rain and strong wind will come.

A Campaign of the Importance of Reading

Thesis:

Reading habit is poor among Indonesians because most people haven’t realized the importance of reading

Argument 1

Reading is important to transform knowledge and technology. By reading, one knows the world. He or she will understand what he doesn’t see by himself or herself. The lines of the paragraphs in an article contain pieces of knowledge. The knowledge is needed to improve the quality of human’s life. Technology transformation from other country can only be done by reading a lot various sources of literature. Valuable books in libraries and bookstores mean nothing if they are not read.

Argument 2

Realizing the importance of reading will make someone motivated to read. When we know that something is very important because it can give us valuable information, we will try to get or do the thing. For example, a businessman who always follows latest information or news, will know what to do in his/ her business. He will make a good decision to make a transaction. Most people in all developed countries have realized the importance or reading and they have good reading habits. In bus and train stations, vehicles, waiting rooms, parks, people like reading. They enjoy reading which gives them valuable knowledge and inspiration.

Argument 3

A good understanding toward the importance of reading can be achieved by well organized and effective campaign. To plant an understanding in a generation’s minds is not an easy job. It needs a hard work from all components of the nation, especially the government. A serious campaign which is organized by the central and local government can help common people wake up and stand to face the real competition. The campaign can be done through various kinds of mass media such as TV, radio, booklets, bulletins, newspapers, magazines. It can also be conducted by teachers, parents and all people who care.

Recommendation

Therefore, a nation-wide effective campaign of the importance of reading by all components of the nation should be done, facilitated by the government, to face the tighter competition. The world has forced globalization. Those people with little knowledge will be left behind. To speed up the better change in this country, a good reading habit is really important.

Landy a porcupine

Diposting oleh oktrina dian , , Sabtu, 27 Februari 2010 02.28


Orientatation:
There was a porcupine named Landi. He was lonely. No one wanted to play with him because they were afraid of his spikes.
“Dear Landi. We don’t want to play with you because your spikes are too sharp. We don’t want you to hurt us,” said Cici the rabbit one day.
“Cici is right, Landi. It’s not because you are bad or rude to us. No, Landi! Just because of your spikes. They will stab us when we come close to you,” said Tito the rooster.

Complication:
Landi felt lonely. He murmured, “Why don’t they want to play with me?”
Landi spent most of the timeday-dreaming at the river bank. “I would have lots of friend and play with themif no spikes were on my body. I would be happy. I would not be lonely like this. What a shame!”
Suddenly, Kuku the turtle appeared from the river. He came to Landi and said, “Landi, what are you thinking of?”
“Oh, nothing,” Landi replied
“Don’t lie to me, Landi. Please tell me your problem. Maybe I can help you.”
Kuku said wisely. Then, he sat beside Landi. He wasn’t afraid of Landi’s spikes.
Shortly, Landi told Kuku his problem. Kuku nodded his head. He said, “Poor you. But it is not your fault. I know, your spikes are very useful and helpful to you. Your friends will realize it some day. Trust me, Landi.”
“Thanks Kuku. You’re really my best friend. You are the only one herewho wants to be my friend.”
One day, Sam the frog held his birthday party. He invited all his friends, including Landi. But he decided not to come. He didn’t want to mess up the party.
“I’ll come with you, Landi. I’ll tell everyone that you’re harmless, ”said Kuku. Finally, Landi attended the party. Everyone enjoy it.
Suddenly, Tito ran here there screaming, “Help. . . help. . .!! The evil wolf is coming, Save yourselves!” Then, everyone ran to save their lives, except Kuku and Landi. Kuku pulled his head and leg into his shell. Landi rolled his body into a ball.
Unintentionally, the evil wolf stepped his foot on Landi. Of course, the spikes pricked him. He screamed, “Ouch!” Since his foot was bleeding,he didn’t chase Landi’s friends any longer. Then, he ran away.

Resolution:
“Horray . . . .horray! Long live Landi! He saved our lives,” said Cici and her friends. Everyone shook Landi’s hand and thanked him. From then on, Landi wasn’t lonely anymore. His friends knew that his spikes would not hurt anyone, unless they wanted to hurt Landi.

Leaving On A Jet Plane

Diposting oleh oktrina dian , , Jumat, 26 Februari 2010 02.02

All my bags are packed
Im ready to go
Im standin here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breaking
Its early morn
The taxis waiting
Hes blowin his horn
Already Im so lonesome
I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go

Theres so many times I’ve let you down
So many times I’ve played around
I tell you now, they dont mean a thing
Every place I go, I’ll think of you
Every song I sing, I’ll sing for you
When I come back, I’ll bring your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
Don;t know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
Then close your eyes
Ill be on my way

Dream about the days to come
When I wont have to leave alone
About the times, I wont have to say

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
Don’t know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

But, I’m leaving on a jet plane
Don’t know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
