Jakarta and the Problems

Jakarta is a big city. Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia. I live in Jakarta since I was born. I do love, and I am proud of Jakarta. Jakarta has always been growth very fast until now particularly the urban people. Jakarta has so many good buildings, roads, mass transportations, stations, park and other kind of public places. However, Jakarta nowadays is not pleasant and health like many years ago. There were so many factors that make Jakarta became unpleasant place.   

The first factor that makes Jakarta upleasant place is the population. Jakarta was very crowded. Every year, the population in Jakarta is increasing significantly. The popolation caused by The uncontrolled urbanization. Urbanization happens for the consequences of growth of rural people whereas the rural development increased slightly. For instance development the of employment, the education, and also entertainment. That were the reasons why people move from their original place into Jakarta, and make Jakarta so crowded.    

The second factor is the traffic. Traffic was being a familiar symbol for Jakarta. The fast growth population of people in Jakarta made the traffic being worse. People usually use their own vehicle than mass transportation, and abviously can cause the traffic. The traffic drains productive time of many people due to they must spend longer time to reach their places. Traffic also can easily trigger stress and caused some illnesses. This traffic reduce the quality of life for people who living in Jakarta.  

The last factor is the sanitation and the health issue. The pollution in Jakarta was very bad, wheater it’s air pollution or it’s water pollution. The air pollution most caused by the corbon monoxide that resulted from cars and motorcycles. The  High level of air pollution in Jakarta caused so many illnesses for instance asthma, lung diseases, and some respiratory infections. Water pollution caused by the rubbish and garbage from industries and also from household. This pollution strongly impact the balance of nature. The rain acid caused by water pollution as well. This bad sanitation can make people who living in Jakarta become unhelth. 

In conclusion, nowadays Jakarta has become the unplasurable place because of some problems. The high growth population in Jakarta that caused by the urbanization, bad traffic, and unhealth sanitanion. These problems need serious attention not only from the government but also from civil people as well to realize Jakarta into better, comfort, and lovely conditions.   

Cambridge IELTS 5 Test 2 – Writing Task 2

In some countries young people are encourage to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this.

In recent years, taking travel for a year or starting work after finishing high school become popular among young people. Some people called it as a gap year. They were postponed their studies in university for a year. These activities have been attractive for some reasons. There are advantages and disadvantages for young people who decided travel or work before continue their studies. 

The advantages from young people taking work, they become early independent in financial. Obviously from working they can earn money, gain experiences and skills. In addition they could build the good network during that time and possible to settle down more faster.  At the same time young people who decided to travel for a year can increase their horizon and their independent. They will see a lot of different perspective from various people that they have never been met before. They also can learn another cultures and languages and can appreciate the differences. 

On the other hand, some jobs require university qualifications. If they want to catch the higher position, it is better they forward their studies first. Travelling before starting the new degree can distract their academic desire. They may think studies at universities not always become necessary.  In addition, taking travel for a year need a lot of money and mostly only the rich young people that can choose this decision. 

In conclusion, among the advantages for young people taking travel for a year and taking job before they continue their studies at university, there also some disadvantages that need to be considered. However I believe that the advantages can make the great different vision for young people about the life. 

          

I tried several writing task 2 in Ielts test, here two of them,,:-)

Compare the advantages and disadvantages of three of following as media for communicating information. State which you consider to be the most effective.

The information was very important in our life. We have been surrounded by the information since we were born. Information can be interpreted as massage. There are so many media that brought the information into us, for instance; television, radio, film, theatre, books, comics etc. I do believe every media has each advantages and disadvantages.

There are some advantages from television, radio, film that can be explained. These electronic media were very effective for share the information. The massages that come from media electronic were often very powerful effected the people. People often very fast take in the information from television and film. Similar with the radio, television, and film, theatre was also very touchable to share the culture and education through the live shows. In addition book and comics are very effective to spread the good ideas. Books also played the essential role in human history. While the books provide the massages from the sentences and story, the comics send the massages trough the picture and animation.     

On the other hand, television, radio, and film have some disadvantages. Some programs that provide in television were very hypnotizing and it can drain productive time when people spent a lot of time to watch. Hence it very powerful to effecting people, so many violence and criminal act have also resulted from the television and films. Even so some books and comics have some disadvantages. We need to be focus to read the book for hours. Several comics only give the entertainment instead the useful information.

In conclusion, in my opinion the television, radio, and film are most effective because the massage could be taken easily than the books and comics.   

Be Strong Like a Rock

          It has been a long time since I wrote my last posting, about Bliss..days turning into something I never imagined before. Indeed so hard. Allah gave me so many real examinations in my life. Bliss never exist without wound. Laugh never so graceful without tears. Smile never so bright without sadness. Anyone you never knew before become so precious when you feel lonely. The hardest step must be faced with all guide that you have always asked from God. I trying to believe I can rise into something new. Fighting to be someone who always graceful by her self. When you think there is not something that can help you, believe Allah would sent you the troops to make you strong and said "You're gonna be all right." All you need to do is defend your faith although I knew  that never be easy to be strong like rock.
          Last night I was called my friend, she was the former editor Sinergi. From her voice and story I know that she's more than all right. She's so happy and graceful with her self. When I told her about my worries she said that almost didn't believe that. She said she was happy and so graceful because of me. I'm very shock with her declaration, in fact I didn't do anything as I remember for her. I told her that I haven't full of guts since several month ago like she was remained about me. She said
           "Mei, I've always envy you and all the time I've wondered why you so enthusiastic and cheerful. I've learned so many thing from you. It was very unusual that now you tell me that you have no passion. Stand up, Mei! Be cheer up!"
          "I've been sick." I said. "Please remember me in your pray." I asked her.
          "I have..I always have prayed for you."
          "Thank you."
          "Just be cheer up as I remember about you."she said.
          Suddenly I'm very graceful that I still have someone that remain me as that much. Maybe jewel and diamond never exist if the rocks never hit and burned over and over again. Be strong and never surrounded by the hardest hit. Keep your faith that you're gonna be all right.
