introduction

D

ear readers,

In this edition I’d like to greet the students of the third grade, by giving some questions related to the national final examination. The first question to be answered is, How far do  you prepare yourself in facing the national final test. How often  do you use your  spare time  to practise all of your abilities to anticipate the material of final  test which need your best ability? And, are you ready to join the national final test?.

     Depart from those questions, I invite you all to make an introspection  in our ownselves  and strive to answer the above questions. To reach a success, is not easy. It needs more preparations and long process of practising. A good preparation can be done by using every spare time to practise materials which appear most often in the previous final test. The materials can be obtained from the teacher or from another resource like internet or others. The most important here, is, we should have a will, to do it  without any compulsion.

      Above of all, the quality of approaching ourselve to the almighty God, plays a very important role. Because, however, we believe that, what ever we do, if there is no blessing from the God, it will be in vain. That’s why, I have the morally obligation to suggest you that, beside study and work hard for the final test, you may not forget to pray to the God to ask for this blessing for your endeavor in order to be able to face the final test and the result will meet your expectation.

       The last but not least, prepare yourself and pray to the God. Because the succes is only in your hand not others. And the chance comes only once and never be back.

BE POSITIVE

f we have a problem usually we consider it from negative side. Perhaps....that;s a first favourite sentence. We can suspect something but if we begin to distrufull and negative thinking, this live is not composed. Why don’t we try to be a positive thinking, and consider positive about someting. So, how to try to be a positive thinking ? Observe the following.

  1. Don’t be in a hurry.

            If we are too lated a bad opinion about something and it turned out, our assumption is.....wrong!. So finally we do not only have an embarrased but it damage our self and also the other person. So if we have a problem don’t be in hurry comply with your emotion but we must be calm, so we can positive be a thinking.

2         Appreciate yourself

Appreciate the other person is very good but we must appreciate our self. Usually, we can be fastes answering our scarcity than our superiority. We admitt our superiority actually is a shape of appreciation to ourselve and the our scarcity is not close possibility to expand our superiority.

3         Think twice before saying

Whatever we must think twice, to avoid hurfing oneself and make ourselves be better among others.

  1. Occupy yourself by doing useless things

It makes us avoid because all of our, time will be pointed to be useless things. That’s why try, and try to be a positive thinking person. 

      

TO BE CAREFUL

S

ome people agree that love is blind. It seems this is true. When we are in love, our love one will always visible good. It seems that nothing is bad.

     When we are blinded by love, we usually give whatever our loved one asks without thinking twice. This can make no trouble if our relationship goes on. This, however, does not always happen. There is a possibilitty that our relationship will break up. We have often heard that many youths prefer to commit suicide when they are broken heart. This is because they feel that they have nothing when their love ends.

There fore, when we are in love, we must take good care of our selves, we must be careful so as not to be blinded by love.

“ FIRE “

Fire can help people in many ways. But it can also be very harmful. Fire can heat water, warm your house, give light and cool food. Fire can burn things. It can burn trees, houses, animals or people, sometimes big fires can burn forests.

Nobody knows, exactly how people begin to use fire. But there are many interesting, old stories about the first time a man or woman started a fire. One story form Australia tells about a man from a very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope and brought fire down.

Today people know how to make a fire with matches. Chlidren sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house.

Fires kill many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put out fires. Cover a fire with water, sand,or in an emergency, with your coat or blanket.  A small fire can become a big fire very fast.

Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it might hurt you.

WESTERN CULTURE

I

 will state my opinion about western culture. As we know, that we can view it from two side. There are positive side and negative side.

First, we can talk about negative side.”Western Culture Influences the style of teenagers in Indonesia rightnow. For examples: Style in dressing and its movies.

About dressing, the teenagers follow the way in dressing that is impolite or ”You can see style “. Infact, based on religion, norm, and also eastern culture, that way is realy forbidden. Because it can causes negative effect for teenagers and surounding them.

Another thing is west movies, by watching it, Indonesian teenagers directly imitate it (movies). Examples: The movies about sexs, violance, etc. Which causes the teenagers attitude.

Actually everything comes from west country is not always negative (bad). As young Indonesian generation, we can selec of western culture that comes in to our country which one accetble, and which one is not.                                                                                                               By:  M.M lucia -2Ujp1

story

Why Kangaroos Hop

Borah was the first kangaroo. He walked on four legs, like other animals. One night he went for a walk in the country. He walked and walked, and then he saw  a fire, behind some trees. He hurried towards the fire. When he came near it, he saw a lot of men and women.

     The men started dancing a round the fire. The women played instrumens. The men sang as they danced to the music. Borah thought this was beautiful. He stayed for a long time, and looked at the dance. He listened to the music and he wanted to dance too. So he stood on his two back legs, and danced with the men.

     Suddenly, a woman saw him, and saw that he was a kangaroo, and she told the men. Some of the men wanted to kill Borah, but others wanted to let him live. One woman said: “Let him live, and dance with us! He’s so funny when he dances!. He dances like this”. And he hopped like Borah.

     When the dance finished, Borah tried to put his front legs on the ground again. But he couldn’t!. When he tried to walk on four legs, he could only hop, on his two back legs. And after Borah, all kangaroos hopped. That is why kangaroos hop today.
