Bagi sebuah pasangan, terutama bagi yang akan melakukan pernikahan, tips-tips atau nasehat perkawinan memang sangat diperlukan demi kelangsungan hidup berumah tangga.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a title="rumah tangga harmonis" href="http://www.anneahira.com/rumah-tangga-harmonis.htm"&gt;Rumah tangga&lt;/a&gt; adalah tempat dimana kita akan hidup dengan orang lain, hidup dengan segala perbedaan, dan akan menemui banyak rintangan. Hal inilah yang biasanya menjadi masalah dalam rumah tangga. Sebuah pasangan merasa kaget dengan perbedaan yang ada, bahkan tak sedikit yang merasa tidak mampu mengatasi berbagai halangan berumah tangga. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Semua masalah rumah tangga memang cukup sulit diselesaikan, namun tentu saja bukan berarti tidak mungkin ada cara penyelesaian yang baik. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hubungan dengan Pasangan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Berikut ini adalah beberapa tips rumah tangga harmonis yang bisa Anda pelajari.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Hal pertama untuk mewujudkan keluarga bahagia adalah dengan mengenal pasangan Anda sejauh mungkin sebelum memasuki gerbang &lt;a title="pernikahan dini" href="http://www.anneahira.com/pernikahan-dini-11616.htm"&gt;pernikahan&lt;/a&gt;. Ini adalah hal yang wajib agar Anda tidak menyesal di kemudian hari. Anda harus tahu betul bagaimana sifatnya, kesehariannya, keluarganya, dll.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Ketika masuk dalam tahap pernikahan, Anda dan pasangan haruslah memahami tujuan dari pernikahan. Dengan pemahaman tujuan &lt;a title="tujuan pernikahan" href="http://www.anneahira.com/tujuan-pernikahan-11202.htm"&gt;menikah&lt;/a&gt;, tentu bisa meminimalisir kemungkinan terjadinya hal buruk dalam rumah tangga.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Salah satu tips keluarga bahagia yang sangat penting adalah menjalin &lt;a title="faktor faktor komunikasi" href="http://www.anneahira.com/faktor-faktor-komunikasi.htm"&gt;komunikasi&lt;/a&gt; dua arah. Komunikasi yang rutin dilakukan, bisa membuat pasangan selalu saling mengerti dan juga bisa semakin mendekatkan hubungan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Selama berkomunikasi, sikap juga harus diperhatikan. Tutur kata yang halus dan menyenangkan pastinya akan membuat suasana selalu hangat. Mimik muka yang penuh senyum pun pasti akan menjauhkan rumah tangga dari hal-hal yang negatif.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Rasa toleransi dan pengertian merupakan hal yang harus dimiliki setiap &lt;a title="mencari pasangan" href="http://www.anneahira.com/mencari-pasangan.htm"&gt;pasangan&lt;/a&gt;. Perasaan seperti itu akan menjauhkan Anda dari sikap egois yang bisa meruntuhkan rumah tangga.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Selalu bekerja sama dalam hal apapun. Pasangan &lt;a title="pasangan harmonis" href="http://www.anneahira.com/pasangan-harmonis.htm"&gt;suami istri&lt;/a&gt; yang kompak tentunya akan lebih mudah menjalani rumah tangga. Misalnya, ketika istri memiliki banyak pekerjaan rumah tangga, suami bisa turun tangan untuk ikut membantu. Selain pekerjaan bisa cepat selesai, hubungan mesra antara keduanya bisa selalu terjalin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Selalu saling mengalah dan memaafkan juga merupakan tips keluarga bahagia. Ketika pasangan melakukan kesalahan, Anda harus berbesar hati memaafkannya. Saat Anda bersalah pun, Anda jangan sungkan untuk meminta maaf pada pasangan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Hubungan dengan Keluarga Besar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Tips keluarga bahagia juga meliputi hubungan pasangan suami istri terhadap keluarga besar dari kedua belah pihak. Rumah tangga tidak akan berjalan dengan baik apabila tidak disertai dengan kecintaan dan rasa restu dari keluarga besar. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Untuk menjaga hal itu, pasangan suami istri hendaknya melakukan hal-hal berikut ini.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Sering-seringlah berkunjung pada rumah orang tua, baik orang tua sendiri maupun pada mertua. Hal ini untuk mempererat &lt;a title="makna silaturahmi" href="http://www.anneahira.com/makna-silaturahmi.htm"&gt;silaturahmi&lt;/a&gt;, sekaligus menunjukkan rasa cinta dari seorang anak pada orang tua.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Bila orang tua datang ke rumah, Anda sebagai pemilik rumah harus melayani dengan maksimal. Sediakan tempat istirahat yang baik, berkomunikasilah dengan mereka secara sopan, atau sekedar mendengar keluh kesah mereka sebagai orang tua.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 8.33333px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Hubungan dengan Anak&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Bagi Anda yang berumah tangga dan sudah memiliki anak, menjaga &lt;a title="mertua dan menantu" href="http://www.anneahira.com/mertua-dan-menantu.htm"&gt;hubungan harmonis&lt;/a&gt; dengan anak merupakan tips keluarga bahagia yang tidak bisa Anda abaikan. Berikut adalah beberapa contoh tips dalam menjalin hubungan dengan anak.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Terapkan pola asuh demokratis, dimana komunikasi antara orang tua dan anak terjadi secara dua arah. Hal ini akan membuat orang tua mengerti akan kemampuan anak, dan anak bisa mengerti akan kemauan orang tuanya.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Sering-seringlah berinteraksi dengan anak dalam hal apapun. Saat bermain, berlajar di rumah, mengantarkan ke &lt;a title="sekolah terbaik" href="http://www.anneahira.com/sekolah-terbaik-7970.htm"&gt;sekolah&lt;/a&gt;, atau ketika si anak hendak tidur. Mendampingi anak dalam segala hal bisa membuat anak tahu bahwa orang tuanya memang sangat penuh kasih sayang.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Sesibuk apapun pekerjaan Anda, luangkan waktu bagi anak-anak Anda. Tidak sedikit kasus dimana seorang anak menjadi nakal atau terjebak pergaulan yang salah hanya karena tidak mendapat perhatian keluarga.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Sanksi atau hukuman terkadang memang perlu diberikan bila anak sudah melanggar aturan terlalu jauh. Namun, hukuman yang baik tentu saja bukan hukuman secara fisik seperti memukul atau menampar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; Berilah sanksi yang cukup berat bagi anak namun tetap bertujuan untuk membuatnya sadar. Misalnya, tidak boleh menonton &lt;a title="dampak positif dan negatif televisi" href="http://www.anneahira.com/dampak-positif-dan-negatif-televisi.htm"&gt;televisi&lt;/a&gt; dalam jangka waktu tertentu kalau nilai ujian jelek.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1375314864798423086-7295034373640549458?l=karagus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karagus.blogspot.com/feeds/7295034373640549458/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1375314864798423086&amp;postID=7295034373640549458' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1375314864798423086/posts/default/7295034373640549458'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1375314864798423086/posts/default/7295034373640549458'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karagus.blogspot.com/2011/02/berbagai-tips-keluarga-bahagia_01.html' title='Berbagai Tips Keluarga Bahagia'/><author><name>karagus</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375314864798423086.post-6892196811791442916</id><published>2010-05-23T21:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-25T19:53:53.736-07:00</updated><title type='text'>SOFTWARE VCD PEMBELAJARAN BAHASA INGGRIS</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;TELL ME MORE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Anda ingin langsung praktek dengan native speakers...?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dapatkan VCD nya "TELL ME MORE" sebuah software program bahasa inggris dilengkapi dengan pronounciation analysis tools, grammar workshop,speaking workshop, writing workshop. dll.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cukup dengan RP 75.000,- sudah termasuk ongkos kirim, anda sudah mendapatkan program pembelajaran yang sangat interaktif dari level beginner - Intermediate - dan Anvanced (1 Paket terdiri dari  4 VCD).

It was the first time I attended such meeting since I was a new English teacher in my school. The workshop was attended by English teachers from different junior high schools in the region. It took for about three months to complete the program with twelve times meeting and It was done every Tuesday from 8 A.M to 2 P.M. In the first day of the activity was a seminar attended by all subject teachers in the region with a keynote speaker came from the experts from our province. The seminar was talking about what is actually ‘Lesson Study’ and why we need to implement it in our teaching activity. It really gives me idea and opens my mind that teaching is not just teaching, teaching is something that should be well prepared, teaching is something that every student feels a joy learning, teaching would be great when we share materials what we are going to teach to our fellow teachers and that group teaching results much better than individual teaching (teaching alone). &lt;br /&gt; The second meeting which was held on Tuesday, the following week, the English teachers gathered and were divided into groups based on what grade/year we teach. They are year 7, year 8, year 9 English teachers and conversation teachers. I was in year 8 English teacher group. We then discussed and decided the material going to be taught to the students. After that we started to make a syllabus and a lesson plan. We had a tight discussion and argument in how to manage the class and what steps of activities we were going to do. I feel that It was really a nice forum and for me myself it was really exciting. We can share our ideas and have a time to take from someone’s great ideas and give our ideas to compile a closely perfect lesson plan. This condition lasted up to the third meeting. &lt;br /&gt;In the fourth meeting each group presented the lesson plan to other groups (peer teaching), there the group presenter received feedbacks and suggestions. It is a very important session since here we can make our lesson plan better. It can be better in the process of the teaching, the teaching instruments and the teaching aids. The following meeting we redesigned the lesson plan and as well as prepared everything we need to complete for micro teaching. The micro teaching was done in front of the students under the other fellow teachers’ observation. &lt;br /&gt; The last activity of the workshop was doing ‘Open House’, teaching in real class and observed not only by the participants of the workshop but also observed by the experts, the university students and lectures, and all English teachers in the region. Here the best group was chosen by supervisors or coordinators of the workshop. It was really inspiring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Name: Agus Nugroho Ponco Saputro&lt;br /&gt;Job title and Institution: English Teacher at SMPN 1 Magelang (Magelang 1 State Junior High School) – Central Java – Indonesia. &lt;br /&gt;Email address: karagus2@yahoo.com , aqielnugroho@hotmail.com&lt;br /&gt;Telp : 085747002782 , fax (+62 293) 3216206&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1375314864798423086-1776275380717914760?l=karagus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karagus.blogspot.com/feeds/1776275380717914760/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1375314864798423086&amp;postID=1776275380717914760' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1375314864798423086/posts/default/1776275380717914760'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1375314864798423086/posts/default/1776275380717914760'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karagus.blogspot.com/2010/01/sharing.html' title='SHARING'/><author><name>karagus</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375314864798423086.post-9032726392883623937</id><published>2010-01-27T18:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-27T18:24:14.111-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EDUCATION'/><title type='text'>WRITING</title><content type='html'>Story writing - creative thinking&lt;br /&gt;Submitted by swif on 21 October, 2009 - 07:20&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Writing stories is an exciting and creative activity and yet students often seem resistant to undertaking this task. I think it is important to break the task down into small stages so students don’t get discouraged, and place emphasis on the creative part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Preparation&lt;br /&gt;This is the last line of our story;&lt;br /&gt;‘They walked away sadly, promising never to return again’&lt;br /&gt;Before class, think up several examples of who ‘they’ could be and from where they are walking.  For example;&lt;br /&gt;They:  students  Where:  the last day of their language course in the UK&lt;br /&gt;They:  aliens      Where:  the Earth&lt;br /&gt;They:  football team  Where: after a match&lt;br /&gt;They:  teenagers Where: a concert by their favourite band&lt;br /&gt;They:  friends     Where:  a party at another friend’s house&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Procedure &lt;br /&gt;• Giving the task purpose (this stage could be done in the students’ own language) &lt;br /&gt;o Ask students what the purpose of writing a story is. Answer: to entertain&lt;br /&gt;o Ask them for ways a writer can do this Possible answers: comedy, suspense, mystery, a twist, romance, a moral&lt;br /&gt;• Brainstorming for ideas/ creating the plot of the story (I) As a class.  &lt;br /&gt;o Write the title of our story on the board.  Ask students to think silently who ‘they’ might be and where they are leaving.&lt;br /&gt;o If they find this difficult you could give them one of your ideas.  Eg.  They:  students  Where:  the last day of their language course in another country&lt;br /&gt;o   Choose one of their suggestions and ask questions to get students developing the idea: Eg. Where did they go? Why were they so sad when they left? What things went wrong? Why will they never return?&lt;br /&gt;o  The aim is to get lots of different suggestions for each question to get students being as creative as possible.&lt;br /&gt;•  Brainstorming for ideas/ creating the plot of the story (II) In groups, with direction. &lt;br /&gt;o  Divide students into groups of 4 or 5.  &lt;br /&gt;o Each group chooses a different ‘they’ and ‘where’, either from earlier student suggestions or your ideas. &lt;br /&gt;o Give them five minutes to come up with a story based on these.  Encourage the groups to follow the same procedure as in step 2 and come up with lots of different stories before choosing their favourite. &lt;br /&gt;o The aim is creativity and a chance for students to use their imaginations. The time limit is important to keep the activity moving.&lt;br /&gt;• Whole class feedback &lt;br /&gt;o  Ask students to share their favourite stories with the class.&lt;br /&gt;o Before this activity begins, tell them that they will need to choose which one of the other stories they like best and why - this will give students a good reason for listening. &lt;br /&gt;• Extension &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take students back to the title you started with and discuss how many ideas came out of just one line. Of course, you could now ask them to write the story either in class or as homework, however, I would suggest leaving this activity at this point as the aim is to exercise students’ creative side. During the task the students will have had to use a wide range of vocabulary and I think this is challenge enough for any class.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stuart Wiffin, Teacher, France&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk"&gt;http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/try/activities/story-writing-creative-thinking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1375314864798423086-9032726392883623937?l=karagus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karagus.blogspot.com/feeds/9032726392883623937/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1375314864798423086&amp;postID=9032726392883623937' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1375314864798423086/posts/default/9032726392883623937'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1375314864798423086/posts/default/9032726392883623937'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karagus.blogspot.com/2010/01/writing.html' title='WRITING'/><author><name>karagus</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375314864798423086.post-9222242368957531205</id><published>2010-01-27T18:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-30T04:32:35.289-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TEXT TYPES'/><title type='text'>Descriptive Essay and Exercises</title><content type='html'>The name of this animal, when translated into English is ‘man of the woods’. This man of the woods [MOW] is the only great ape that lives in Asia. It’s about 1 m tall and is the world’s biggest tree dweller. It’s just a little bit smaller than gorilla. MOWs live in the rain forest of Kalimantan and Sumatra. However loggers are destroying their homes and this animal now is in danger of becoming extinct.&lt;br /&gt; Every day MOWs climb trees and look for food. Most of the time MOWs walk on all fours, they measure nearly 3m from hand to hand. How long are your arms? They use these long climbs to swing through trees and hold the branches with their hands and feet. Swinging is a hard work, so they never travel more than a few hundred meters a day.&lt;br /&gt; MOWs sleep in the trees too – on a platform made from sticks. They make a new nest every few nights. Heavy adult males sometimes sleep on the ground. When it’s cold they cover their body with leaves.&lt;br /&gt;Answer the following questions&lt;br /&gt;1. How is the size of the animals compared to the size of gorillas and to your own size?&lt;br /&gt;2. Is it possible to find these animals in the jungles of Africa? Why do you think so?&lt;br /&gt;3. Why do you think the English translation of the name of these animals is ‘man of the woods’?&lt;br /&gt;4. How is the length of the animals’ arms compared to yours?&lt;br /&gt;5. Do you think that these animals really need that size of arms? Why do you think so?&lt;br /&gt;6. How do these animals move?&lt;br /&gt;7. How do they travel to different places? Can they travel long distance? Why do you think so?&lt;br /&gt;8. What do they frequently make?&lt;br /&gt;9. How do they keep their body warm when they feel cold?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                   Komodo Dragons&lt;br /&gt;Komodo Dragons are the largest lizards in the world. They live just on few small islands in Indonesia. Komodo dragons can be 3m long. That’s very long – as long as a car.&lt;br /&gt; Komodo dragons are very greedy. They eat almost anything, but their favourite food is wild pigs and deer. They can swallow a small animal, such as monkey, in one gulp.&lt;br /&gt; Adult komodo dragons hide in long grass, then jump out and grab their prey. They grab their prey in their strong jaw. They can also chase the prey. Adult dragons can move faster than a human can run. Young komodo dragons are good climbers. They climb trees to catch and eat small lizards and birds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Answer the following questions briefly!&lt;br /&gt;1. In which paragraph can you find information about how they catch their prey?&lt;br /&gt;2. In which paragraph can you find information about the size?&lt;br /&gt;3.

This animal may be 3 or 4 meters high. The weight may be 5 or 6 tons. This mountain of flesh is wrapped in a wrinkled suit of rough, gray skin. Its legs are like pillars. Its huge ears flap gently back and forth like wings. Look at the long trunk. When you throw some peanuts, the trunk picks up the peanuts with the ‘finger’ at the tip of the trunk. Then, the huge beast will put it into its mouth and eat it happily. This animal is also remarkable for its tusks. Tusks are long teeth that continue to grow throughout its life.&lt;br /&gt; The number of these animals, however, has decreased a lot. More and more of them are killed for their tusks. Many die because trees in their forest have been cut down. They cannot find food and protection in the forest anymore. If people aren’t able to save them, these animals, sooner or later, may vanish from this earth.

Dinamika kehidupan berorganisasi hanya dapat dipakai jika, seseorang tidak hanyamemperhatikan struktur formal organisasi tersebut tetapi juga memperhatikan peraturan-peraturannya, berkelompok, dan sistem sanksi yang tidak resmi. Pearturan, norma, kepala dan kelompok informal ini secara spontanitas melebur menjadi satu hasil dari interaksi masing-masing individu di organisasi. Interaksi ini menghasilkan struktur sosial dan budaya informal yang mempengaruhi tingkah laku anggota organisasi.&lt;br /&gt; Akibat adanya interaksi informal dalam organisasi formal adalah interaksi tersebut bisa bersifat membangun atau merusak. Charles Page’s (1946) menyatakan bahwa struktur informal, peraturan dan prosedur dimungkinkan mempunyai efek negatif atau positif. Dia beranggapan bahwa banyak masalah serius dipecahkan dengan cara-cara formal tidak terjadi adanya komunikasi atau solusi yang efisien. Bahkan denganadanya sturktur informal itu penting. Contoh: Page mengobservasi bahwa komunikasi yang sifatnya resmi itu harus melalui apa yang disebut ”chain of command (rantai perintah0” yang seringnya memerlukan proses yang panjang. Ini berarti bahwa organisasi informal merupakan alat yang penting untuk menerapkan tujuan-tujuan organisasi yang sifatnya rumit.    &lt;br /&gt; Lurance Iannaccone’s (1962) study of school mendukung pentingnya organisasi informal. Dia menambahkan bahwa organisasi informal dapt digunakn sebagai guide untuk memperbaiki organisasi formal.&lt;br /&gt; Keberadaan organisasi informal bukanlah musuh yang harus dimusnahkan, tetapi sebaliknya bisa dijadikan kendaraan untuk meningkatkan efisiensi. Jadi tidak masuk akal apabila menata organisasi formal seperti sekolah tetapi mengesampingkan aspek-aspek organisasi informal (Bleun, 1956). Secara teori, praktek administrasi akan baik dikembangkan dengan kedua komponen yakni formal (yang bersifat rasional) dan informal (yang tidak rasional).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STRUKTUR GANDA MODEL BIROKRASI&lt;br /&gt; Kritik yang sring ditujukan kepada model Weberian adalah kontradiksi internal diantara prinsip-prinsip birokrasi tertentu suatuorganisasi. Menurut Weber, kharakteristik ideal organisasi adalah bersifat konsisten dan efisien secara maksimal. Namun menurut analisa: kenyataannnya fungsi organisasi tidak dapat terlaksana dengan baik. Talcott Parsons (1947, 58-64) dan Gouldner (1954, 21-24) mempertanyakn apakah prinsip yang dijadikanpegangan birokrasi itu adlah otoritas yang berdasarkan kepada kompetensi teknis dan pengetahuan tau otoritas yang berdasrkan kekuasaan legal dan disiplin. Weber (1947, 339) beranggapan bahwa ’administrasi birokrasi merupakan latihan mengontrol sesuai dengan pengetahuan yang dimiliki. Selanjutnya dia mengatakan ” disiplin adalah perintah yang dijalankan secara rasional konsisten, terlatih dan dengan tindakan yang tepat/jelas dimana kritik yang bersifat pribadi tidak tertahan tanpa syarat dan pelakunya dengan teguh dan semata-mata hanya melaksanakn perintah.”&lt;br /&gt; Weber mengungkapakan akan pentingnya disiplin dan keahlian (expertise). Apakah administrasi birokrasi itu berdasar kepada keahlian ataukah disiplin yang disertai dengan petunjuk-petunjuk? Kecuali ada orang yang berasumsi bahwa tidak akan ada konflik antara pemberi perintah (authority) yangberdasarkan pada ’kemampuan dan keahlian teknis’ dan yang berdasarkan pada ’jabatan di posisi hirarkis.’ Inilah dua dasar otoritas yang menjadi konflik dan kontradiksi di dalam model Weberian. &lt;br /&gt; Blau and Scott’s (1962) menganalisa keberadaan kedua model weberian: mereka menyimpulkan nahwa Weber gagl dalam membedakan antara prinsip-prinsip disiplin dan profesional. Mereka menyebutkan bahwa disiplin yang birokrasi dan keahlian yang profesional adalah metode alternatif dalam hubungannya dengan ketidakpastian. Disiplin mengurangi bidang-bidang yang tidak pasti, sementara keahlian mempunyai pengetahuan untuk mengetahui ketidakpastian tersebut. iNti msalahnya adalah karena kalangan profesional sering menjadi pegawai organisasi birokrasi. Disinilah disiplin dan kehalian sering tercampur, sehingga menimbulkan konflik dan ketegangan. Contoh seorang kepala sekolah, apakah otoritasnya berada dalam kantor birokrai ataukah keahlian profesional?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STRUKTUR MEKANISTIK DAN ORGANIK&lt;br /&gt; Ilmuwan Inggris, Tom Burns dan g.M Stalker (1961) memperkenalkan ’organisasi organik dan meknistik’ untuk membedakan antara struktur birokrasi dengan yang bukan birokrasi. Organisasi mekanistik pada hakekatnya sama seperti konsep Weber tentang birokrasi. Struktur organik bersifat tidak formal dan lebih tidak tersetruktur. Keduannya lebih fleksibel tetapi juga membingungkan.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karakteristik Struktur Mekanistik dan Organik&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Struktur Mekanistik Struktur Organik&lt;br /&gt;Pembagian pekerja dan spesialisasinya tinggi. Pembagian pekerjanya rendah; jika diperlukan setiap individu bisa kontribusi.&lt;br /&gt;Koordinasi yang bersifat hirarki dalam pemberian perintah (authority), (formal dan tidak bersifat personal).  Koordinasi dengan cara saling menyesuaikan (mutual adjustment), (informal dan personal).&lt;br /&gt;Peraturan sudah ditetapkan Berbagi tanggung-jawab  (sedikit aturan)&lt;br /&gt;Bertanggung jawab dn komitmen kepada satu pekerjaan / peran.  Bertanggung jawab dan komitmen terhadap organisasi sebagai satu kesatuan.&lt;br /&gt;Kontrol dan komunikasi yang hirarki.  Struktur jaringan dengan menekankan kepada tujuan secara umum. &lt;br /&gt;Pengetahuan dan kekuasaan terkonsetrasi pada jajaran tinggi hirarki (high centralisation). Pengetahuan dan kekuasaannya tersebar, menciptakan beragam otoritas sentral (low centralization).&lt;br /&gt;Komunikasi bersifat formal; antara atasan dan bawahan (vertical and directive). Komunikasi tidak formal, umumnya horisontal, bersifat konsultasi dan nasehat.&lt;br /&gt;Memaksakan disiplin yang harus dipatuhi. Berkomitmen dalam pencapaian organisasi; yang dilaksanakan dengan patuh dan loyal.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Intinya adalah tidak memilih konfigurasi struktur mana yang terbaik, tetapi lebih kepada menggunakan perbedaan-perbedaan yang ada untuk mengetahui kelebihan dan kekurangan di masing-masing struktur. Burns dan Stalker (1961) menghipotesa bahwa organisasi organik akan lebih baik dilaksanakan apabila dalam suatu organisasi yang memerlukan perubahan-perubahan cepat, dan Organisasi mekanistik akan lebih baik apabila dilaksanakan dalam organisasi yang stabil. Tetapi hal itupun tidak sesederhana itu dalam pelaksanaannya. Dalam sssstruktur organik terdapat peran-peran yang kadang membingungkan dan sering menimbulkan kesulitan-kesulitan besar suatu  organisasi. Lebih dari itu, struktur mekanistik sebenarnya dapat berinvasi dan melakukan perubahan, khususnya di lingkup manajemen.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STRUKTUR FORMAL DI SEKOLAH&lt;br /&gt; Sekolah sebagai organisasi formal mempunyai banyak kesamaan cirikhas dengan organisasi birokrasi. Cirikhas-cirikha itu diantaranya; menerapkan banyak strategi militer, industri, dan agen-agen pemerintahan, Max Abbort (1965, 45). &lt;br /&gt;Model birokrasi adalah model  yang paling banyak diadopsi oleh administrator sekolah dan ini menjelaskan mengapa model tersebut digunakan untuk menganalisa tingkah-laku (behavior) di sekolah. &lt;br /&gt; Asumsi dasar suatu birokrasi adalah bahwa setiap pegawai tingkat bawah mempunyai lebih sedikit kemampuan teknis daripada atasannya. Tetai asumsi ini tidak berlaku atau tidak bisa diterapkan di sekolah atau di  organisasi profesional lainnya. Sebaliknya, para profesional sering memiliki kompetensi atau kemampuan teknis yang lebih baik daripada administrator yang menduduki level yang lebih tinggi di organisasi tersebut. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HALL’S APPROACH&lt;br /&gt; Salah satu cara yang paling sistematik untuk mengukur birokrasi adalah pendekatan Hall (1963) tentang perkembangan inventori organisasi,yaitu untuk mengukur 6 karakteristik utama suatu struktur birokrasi. D. A. Mackey (1964) kemudian mengadopsi dan memodifikasi inventori organisasi dalam penelitiannya  tentang birokrasi sekolah. Dia mengukur pola-pola birokrasi di sekolah dengan menggunakan the School Organizational Inventory (SOI) berikut ini:&lt;br /&gt;1. Skala Hirarki Skala Otoritas (Hierarchy of Authority Scale)&lt;br /&gt;Anggota staf sekolah ini selalu memperoleh perintah-perintah dari atasan mereka. ”Saya harus bertanya kepada kepala sekolah sebelum saya melaksanakan semua pekerjaan.”&lt;br /&gt;2. Skala Khusus (Specialization Scale)&lt;br /&gt;Program instruksi dibagi-bagi ke dalam wilayah kerja khusus sesuai dengan tugas khusus guru.&lt;br /&gt;3. Skala Peraturan (Rules Scale)&lt;br /&gt;Para guru secara konstan diawasi apakah mereka melanggar aturan-aturan  sekolah. Sekolah mempunyai buku yang berisi peraturan-peraturan yang harus diikuti guru.&lt;br /&gt;4. Skala Spesifik Prosedural (Procedural Specification Scale)&lt;br /&gt;Kami harus mengikuti prosedur operasional yang keras sepanjang waktu. Prosedur yang sama harus diikuti dalam situasi apapun. &lt;br /&gt;5. Skala Umum (Impersonality Scale)&lt;br /&gt;Tidak jadi masalah seberapa besar problem siswa atau orang-tua, mereka ahrus diperlakukan sama dengan yang lainnya. ”kami diharapkan untuk lebih ramah, ketika berhubungan dengan orang-tua.”&lt;br /&gt;6. Skala Kemampuan Teknis (Technical Competence Scale)&lt;br /&gt;Promosi jabatan didasarkan pada seberapa bagus anda. Pengalaman mengajar berperan penting dalam penugasan seorang guru di sekolah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Di sekolah, seperti jenis-jenis organisasi yang lain, komponen-komponen tipe ideal Weber  tidak perlu membentuk satu perangkat yang saling berhubungan diantara variabel. Namun sebaliknya, mereka seperti dua tipe berbeda dari suatu organisasi rasional. Seperti yang terangkum dalam table di bawah ini:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karakteristik Organisasi         Pola Organisasi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hierarchy of Authority           Birokrasi&lt;br /&gt;Rules of Incumbents &lt;br /&gt;Procedural Specification &lt;br /&gt;Impersonality &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Technical Competence             Profesional&lt;br /&gt;Specialization  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Perbedaan keduanya terletak pada potensi konflik diantara otoritas yang didasarkan kepada kompetensi teknis dan kemampuan dan yang didasarkan kepada  pemegangan aturan di hirarki, dan potensi ketidaktepatan antara profesionalitas dan birokrasi. Untuk menyatukan pola birokrasi dan profesional dalam satu model birokrasi nampaknya mengaburkan perbedaan-perbedaan penting diantara sekolah-sekolah. Memisahkan dua pola yaitu organisasi rasional dan administrasi memungkinkan untuk menemukan sejumlah kombinasi dua pola. Contoh, jika setiap pola dikotomikan, maka dimungkinkan akan ada empat tipe organisasi. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Tipe I (Weberian). Di Organisasi sekolah, profesionalitas dan birokrasi adalah saling melengkapi. Keduanya sama-sama tinggi. Pola ini mirip dengan tipe ideal yang dijelaskan oleh Weber, olehkarenanya kita menyebutnya ’Weberian Structure.”&lt;br /&gt; Tipe II (authoritarian) Organisasi yang tingkat karakteristik birokrasinya tinggi dan tingkat profesionalitasnya rendah. Oleh karenanya, di sini otoritas didasarkan pada posisi hirarki sangat ditekankan. Menjalankan disiplin sesuai dengan peraturan menjadi prinsip dasar kerja. Di tipe ini menekankan kekuasaan yang bergerak dari atas ke bawah.&lt;br /&gt; Tipe III (professional) Organisasi ini menekankan pembuatan keputusan bersama antara administrator dan staf profesional. Anggota staf dipandang sebagai profesional yang mempunyai kemampuan dan kompetensi untuk membuat keputusan penting organisasi. Peraturan dan prosedur berfungsi sebagai guide/pegangan ketimbang sebagai format keras yang harus dijalankan bersama-sama. Di sini guru mempunyai kekuasaan yang besar dalam proses membuat keputusan organisasi. Singkatnya, keputusan-keputusan dibuat oleh orang yang punya pengetahuan dan punya kemampuan untuk membuatnya.  &lt;br /&gt; Tipe IV (chaotic) organisasi tipe ini mempunyai tingkat birokrasi dan profesionalitas rendah; olehkarenanya, kebingungan dan konflik sudah menjadi tipe dalam operasional sehari-hari. Tidak konsisten, kontradiksi, dan ketidak-efektifan mungkin meliputi struktur chaotic ini.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Typologi ini mensuguhkan empat sruktur sekolah yang cukup berbeda dan mungkin juga mempunyai konsekuensi berbeda pula bagi guru dan muridnya. Henry Koleser (1967) menemukan bahwa ketidakmampuan siswa  sangat tinggi di authoritarian daripada di struktur sekolah yang profesional.  Geoffrey Isherwood dan Wayne K. Hoy (1973) juga menemukan hal yang sama bagi guru di dua tipe sekolah yang berbeda. Rasa ketidakmampuan guru lebih besar di authoritarian daripada di struktur profesional. Akan tetapi guru yang berorentasi kepada sosial dan organisasi (yaitu guru yang membuktikan/menunjukkan dirinya berturut-turut dengan nilai-nilai dan goal organisasi, keluarga dan teman) mempunyai kemampuan (power) yang lebih besar di struktur authoritarian dari pada guru yang berorentasi profesionalitas. Gerald H. Moellar dan W. W. Charters (1966) menemukan bahwa guru yang berada di sistem birokrasi tinggi mempunyai kekuasaan (power) yang lebih tinggi dari pada guru yang berada di sistem yang birokrasinya rendah. &lt;br /&gt;Klasifikasi struktur sekolah ke dalam empat tipe struktural ini nampaknya memberi manfaat; kenyataannya, tipelogi ini dapat berfungsi sebagai dasar teori untuk mengembangkan sekolah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&amp;&amp;--&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1375314864798423086-6703061392185928191?l=karagus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karagus.blogspot.com/feeds/6703061392185928191/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1375314864798423086&amp;postID=6703061392185928191' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1375314864798423086/posts/default/6703061392185928191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1375314864798423086/posts/default/6703061392185928191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karagus.blogspot.com/2009/08/pengabaian-terhadap-organisasi-informal.html' title='Organizational structure in Schools'/><author><name>karagus</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375314864798423086.post-5020831363914595883</id><published>2008-11-13T05:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-13T05:49:24.876-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TEXT TYPES'/><title type='text'>RECOUNT TEXT</title><content type='html'>Recounts tell the reader what happened.

Borobudur is located in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Borobudur is well-known all over the world. Its construction is influenced by the Gupta architecture of India. The temple is constructed on a hill 46 m high and consist of eight step like stone terrace. The first five terrace are square and surrounded by walls adorned with Budist sculpture in bas-relief.

It is beautiful, clean, not too big, and it has something for everybody. I love the streets and buildings in San Francisco. The streets wind up and down the hills, with beautiful old brick and wooden houses on either side.&lt;br /&gt;    One of my favourite things to do in San Francisco is to ride the cable car. It takes you to most parts of the city. It’s not a very comfortable ride, but it’s exciting and the views you get from the car are wonderful. &lt;br /&gt;And I like the weather in San Francisco. It never gets too cold or too hot. The summers are pleasant. The fresh breezes blow off the ocean and the sky is always blue. It rains quite a lot in the winter, but it never gets very cold.&lt;br /&gt;    Another thing I enjoy about the city is the restaurants. The seafood restaurants, with crabs and lobster, are my favourites. You can also get great Chinese, Japanese, American and European food in San Francisco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comprehension questions:&lt;br /&gt;1. What is interesting about streets in San Francisco?&lt;br /&gt;2. Does the cable car only go to certain areas of the city?&lt;br /&gt;3. Can you see the view of San Francisco from the cable car?&lt;br /&gt;4. What’s the weather like there?&lt;br /&gt;5.

Yes, the football team is one of the best in the world. It has great players like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Adriano. Now let me tell you more about Brazil. You know, Brazil is the largest country in South America. And.. it’s also the fifth largest country in world. Does anybody know where Brazil is? Yes, it’s located in the eastern part of South America. Here…look at the world map. Remember the compass rose? north..south..east..west. &lt;br /&gt;     Now what about the people? They are friendly, outgoing, and they also like to have fun. They’re fun-loving people. Well…if you’ve heard about samba, then you must know that the samba dance is from Brazil.

Soft, shifting soil has always been the tower’s problem. Recently, it was discovered that the tower had moved two millimeters. This was a great setback because engineers had previously corrected about twenty millimeters of the lean by using an inventive underground cables idea to straighten the tower. Pisa would hate to lose its precious Campo dei Miracoli and the tourist dollars it generates. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comprehension questions:&lt;br /&gt;1. How much has been spent to save the tower?&lt;br /&gt;2. What recently caused concern?&lt;br /&gt;3. What causes the tower to move?&lt;br /&gt;4.

During the Dutch colonial days, Ambarawa was a military zone and the railway station was used to transport troops to Semarang through Kedungjati. It is at 474m above sea level, giving you unpolluted fresh air to breathe.&lt;br /&gt;     The Ambarawa Railway Museum is well-maintained. It is a medium-sized building. The railway route is offered to visitors. You can enjoy the beautiful panorama during the route. All in all, this is a truly exciting treasure to visit. &lt;br /&gt;(Source:Dit.

The interior of this island contains incredible contrasts. It has tundras, huge glaciers, volcanoes, and waterfalls. Swimsuit maker ‘Speedo’ sells a very large number of bathing suits in Iceland. The island’s climate is cool, but most people don’t pay money for heat. &lt;br /&gt;     Energy is very cheap and it doesn’t cause pollution, because they use geothermal heat from under the ground. They use water from volcanoes, hot springs and geysers. Icelanders eat fresh fruit and vegetables all year, but they rarely buy them from other countries.  Icelanders like to play golf all night during the summer. &lt;br /&gt;Notes on vocabulary: &lt;br /&gt;geyser : a hot spring that shoots water into the air. &lt;br /&gt;glacier: a large body of ice that moves slowly over land. &lt;br /&gt;tundra : a large, flat area of frozen land without trees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.The purpose of the text is ….&lt;br /&gt;  a.to invite people to visit Iceland&lt;br /&gt;  b.to tell about the activities of Icelanders&lt;br /&gt;  c.to describe an Island, called Iceland&lt;br /&gt;  d.to describe about swimsuit maker&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;6.What do the Icelanders mostly eat everyday?&lt;br /&gt;  a.Fruit and vegetables that are bought from other countries.&lt;br /&gt;  b.Fruit only&lt;br /&gt;  c.Vegetables only&lt;br /&gt;  d.Fruit and vegetables from their own country.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;7.The following statements are true according to the text, EXCEPT…&lt;br /&gt;  a.We cannot find an island like Iceland in other part of the world.&lt;br /&gt;  b.The island of Iceland has very great contrasts.&lt;br /&gt;  c.The Icelanders get the heat from tundras.&lt;br /&gt;  d.The Icelanders get heat from volcanoes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Cairo is the largest city in Egypt. Here you can always roll back the centuries. Modern Cairo has tall buildings and broad streets equal to any in the capitals of Europe or Australia. From the top floors of impressive blocks of flats, you can gaze at magnificent views across the river Nile.&lt;br /&gt;     However behind the modern buildings are narrow alleys where there is no sound of traffic. The only sounds that come to your ears are the calls of the stall-holders. Water sellers and herdsmen wander through the streets as their forefathers did thousands of years ago. Many of the poorer people still dress in the same way as their ancestors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.In which country is Cairo situated? &lt;br /&gt;  a.Egypt&lt;br /&gt;  b.Australia&lt;br /&gt;  c.In the capital of Europe&lt;br /&gt;  d.Behind the modern buildings&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;9.From where is the best place to absorb the views of the Nile?&lt;br /&gt;  a.the streets&lt;br /&gt;  b.the river&lt;br /&gt;  c.the top floors of flats&lt;br /&gt;  d.behind the buildings&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;10.“you can gaze at magnificent views across the river Nile.”  The underlined words  means….. &lt;br /&gt;  a.to look at something for a long time&lt;br /&gt;  b.to go &lt;br /&gt;  c.to guess&lt;br /&gt;  d.to get gasoline&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1375314864798423086-2095647290783862246?l=karagus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karagus.blogspot.com/feeds/2095647290783862246/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1375314864798423086&amp;postID=2095647290783862246' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1375314864798423086/posts/default/2095647290783862246'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1375314864798423086/posts/default/2095647290783862246'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karagus.blogspot.com/2008/10/soal-smp-kelas-8.html' title='English for Grade 8(Exercise.2)'/><author><name>karagus</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375314864798423086.post-8743914103739644917</id><published>2008-06-15T19:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-15T20:01:34.509-07:00</updated><title type='text'>10 TIPS BISNIS YANG MEMBUAT ANDA  KAYA</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Banyak yang telah berusaha sekuat tenaga untuk mengembangkan bisnisnya, tapi  kadang yang keluar justru keluhan seperti ini misalnya,”Saya sudah melakukan  banyak usaha untuk mengembangkan bisnis saya, tapi tak kunjung sukses. Rasanya  saya tak berbakat jadi pebisnis dan akan berhenti saja.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;STOP! Jangan lanjutkan sikap suka menyalahkan diri seperti di atas. Pebisnis  sejati tak pernah mengeluh sebelum kesuksesan yang direncanakannya tercapai.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Saya ada beberapa pelajaran bisnis yang sudah terbukti mengantarkan saya  menikmati hasil seperti saat ini. Sepuluh pelajaran di antaranya saya bocorkan  gratis pada anda.&lt;span id="more-203"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pilih target market produk anda.&lt;/strong&gt; Apapun produk anda, anda  harus punya target market. “Siapa kira-kira yang akan membeli produk anda?” ini  pertanyaan yang sudah harus anda tancapkan jauh sebelum anda membuat produk.  Pastikan target market anda cukup besar. Lebih baik lagi, jika kompetitor untuk  produk yang sejenis dengan milik anda masih sedikit. Karena dengan begitu, pasti  produk anda akan laris manis. Sehingga anda pun bisa kaya mendadak!  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jaga hubungan baik.&lt;/strong&gt; Jaga hubungan baik dengan siapapun.  Keberhasilan kita dalam memasarkan produk sebetulnya tak lebih merupakan hasil  dari hubungan yang terjaga baik. Ketika hubungan baik sudah terbangun, bisnis  apapun bisa berjalan lancar. Tak terkecuali dengan kompetitor anda, jaga juga  hubungan baik. Karena dengan begitu, anda diajak untuk bersaing secara sehat.  Agar anda tanpa henti selalu meningkatkan kualitas produk anda. Atau mungkin  anda bisa juga bekerjasama dengannya.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lakukan dengan cara anda sendiri.&lt;/strong&gt; Saya yakin setiap orang  itu unik. Sehingga pasti setiap orang juga punya caranya sendiri untuk  mengembangkan bisnis. Jangan terlalu terpaku pada pendapat banyak orang. Lakukan  dengan cara anda sendiri. Baik untuk riset pasar, metode marketing, atau apapun.  Sebab saya yakin anda sendiri yang paling tahu apa yang dibutuhkan oleh bisnis  anda. Tapi jangan pula over confidence. Memang ada prinsip-prinsip umum bisnis  yang perlu anda ketahui. Dan biar anda lebih cepat tahu, mau tak mau anda perlu  belajar dari para master. Kemudian tinggal anda kembangkan sendiri sesuai  kebutuhan bisnis anda.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bergerak terus, pantang diam!&lt;/strong&gt; Jangan ragu melangkah.  Pastikan bisnis anda selalu bergerak. Lebih baik melakukan kesalahan, daripada  bisnis anda diam saja tanpa perubahan. Kalau tidak bergerak, pasti anda akan  terombang-ambing dalam gelombang ketidakpastian. Ketakutan mengambil keputusan  dan melakukan tindakan bisa berakibat buruk bagi bisnis anda. Kegagalan bukan  untuk ditakuti. Kegagalan adalah teman yang akan mengantarkan anda mencapai  sukses.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Disiplin dan rapikan pekerjaan anda.&lt;/strong&gt; Pebisnis sukses itu  memiliki ritme kerja yang teratur. Sekali saja, terjadi ketidakteraturan, maka  jadwal yang sudah direncanakan bakal berantakan. Di situlah pentingnya disiplin  diri dalam mematuhi rencana bisnis yang sudah ditetapkan. Serta lakukan semuanya  secara rapi. Pasti hasilnya bisa anda rasakan sendiri perbedaanya dibanding anda  melakukannya secara semrawut. Contoh kecil, mulai dari merapikan meja kerja  anda. Singkirkan barang-barang yang tak anda butuhkan agar anda bisa bekerja  lebih nyaman.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a title="Menyambut resiko dengan cerdas bagian 1" href="http://http//www.jokosusilo.com/2008/05/14/menyambut-resiko-dengan-cerdas-bagian-1/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Menyikapi resiko secara cerdas.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Jangan ragu  untuk menempuh resiko, selama hasil terburuknya bisa diprediksi dan terbatas  serta hasil terbaiknya tanpa batas. Segera raih dan jangan pikir terlalu lama  agar kesempatan itu tak terlebih dulu disabet orang lain.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Biasakan kebiasaan baik.&lt;/strong&gt; Kesuksesan suatu bisnis lebih  sering ditentukan oleh karakter pebisnis ketimbang kondisi yang tengah dihadapi.  Pebisnis yang memiliki karakter kuat, seperti disiplin tinggi dan berani  menghadapi resiko, tak akan pernah gentar menghadapi situasi apapun. Malah tak  jarang bisa menjadikannya sebagai peluang. Seperti Warren Buffet, orang terkaya  sedunia, di tengah resesi ekonomi Amerika masih bisa mengumpulkan uang Rp 200  triliun setahun. So, temukan karakter baik apa yang perlu anda perkuat.  Penguatan karakter diri anda akan sangat berpengaruh terhadap bisnis anda.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Terapkan rutinitas positif.&lt;/strong&gt; Coba atur rutinitas anda selama  seminggu ini. seperti olahraga dan tidur yang teratur. Harapannya dengan begitu  fokus dan konsentrasi anda dalam membangun bisnis anda akan meningkat.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lakukan dengan penuh cinta dan dapatkan hasil memuaskan.&lt;/strong&gt;  Tidak cukup anda hanya senang dengan bisnis anda, tapi bila bisnis yang anda  senangi itu tak cukup memberikan hasil, pasti bisnis anda dicap gagal.  Sebaliknya, kalau anda mungkin tak suka dengan jenis bisnis anda tapi ternyata  hasilnya sungguh menggiurkan, yang terjadi jiwa anda pasti tersiksa. Karena anda  sukses di bidang yang anda tidak senangi. Jadi lakukan bisnis yang anda suka dan  buatlah sukses. Pasti hasilnya akan memuaskan hati anda. Begitupun kalau anda  berniat jadi affiliate marketer, penting untuk&lt;a title="Pasarkan produk yang anda suka!" href="http://www.jokosusilo.com/2008/01/28/pasarkan-produk-yang-anda-suka/" target="_blank"&gt; memasarkan produk yang anda suka!&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Beli kursi kerja yang nyaman.&lt;/strong&gt; Saya tidak mengada-ada.  Sungguh! Pilihlah kursi yang nyaman untuk aktivitas kerja anda. Sebab, kalau  anda mau sadari benda itulah yang paling banyak anda pakai saat bekerja,  melebihi komputer anda bahkan. Pilihlah kursi yang bisa menahan lengan,  punggung, leher, sampai kepala anda dengan nyaman. Tak harus yang paling mahal,  tapi yang penting paling nyaman untuk diri anda. Karena itu anda perlu  mencobanya sendiri sebelum membeli. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt; &lt;p&gt;Anda boleh saja setuju atau tak setuju dengan beberapa poin di atas. Tapi  mari kita diskusikan dulu. Ayo, yang mana anda setuju dan yang mana yang tidak?  Atau mungkin anda punya pendapat lain?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1375314864798423086-8743914103739644917?l=karagus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karagus.blogspot.com/feeds/8743914103739644917/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1375314864798423086&amp;postID=8743914103739644917' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1375314864798423086/posts/default/8743914103739644917'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1375314864798423086/posts/default/8743914103739644917'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karagus.blogspot.com/2008/06/10-tips-bisnis-yang-membuat-anda-kaya.html' title='10 TIPS BISNIS YANG MEMBUAT ANDA  KAYA'/><author><name>karagus</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375314864798423086.post-437838027383826722</id><published>2008-06-09T05:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-15T19:45:24.586-07:00</updated><title type='text'>CARA JITU MENDAPATKAN UANG DI INTERNET</title><content type='html'>Ketika saya pertama kali membaca kisah suksesnya mas Joko Susilo dalam on-line bisnisnya &lt;a href="http://www.formulabisnis.com/?id=sekar82"&gt;http://www.formulabisnis.com/?id=sekar82&lt;/a&gt; , saya sempat nggak percaya; Bagaimana dia sekarang bisa mendapatkan uang 25 juta perbulan dari modal awalnya yang hanya Rp 350.000,- hanya dari menjual informasi di internet. Padahal latarbelakangnya adalah teknik arsitektur yang katanya samasekali buta akan internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tapi ketika dia menunjukkan bukti-bukti &lt;a href="http://www.formulabisnis.com/?id=sekar82"&gt;rekening dari Bank.BCA&lt;/a&gt; Saya menjadi yakin bahwa sayapun bisa melakukannya. dan pasti andapun bisa melakukannya juga. Asal mau tekun dan serius menggarapnya, dan tentunya harus sabar juga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ternyata masih banyak jalan menuju Roma.
