Let’s Everlasting Our Culture !

By Vernida Mufidah

Many country especially our neighbor country, Malaysia stole our culture. It was a big problem for us. Because we as Indonesian people feel humiliated.

When we knew that, we did critic and did demonstration to Malaysia Embassy, when they stole and perform our culture like Angklung, Reog Ponorogo, etc.

But we as Indonesian people don’t want to learn our culture, we only want to learn west culture, like band, break dance, graffiti, etc. It makes us so lazy to learn our culture.

And they as our neighbor even learn our culture. They like it and make it as subject in the school. The impact they confessed that to be their culture.

Why don’t we learn our culture ? So many advantage if we learn them, first we can keep everlasting it, second we have identity as Indonesian people who love their country, and the last is we can get chance to go to abroad because of it.

So, let’s everlasting our culture ! Don’t be shy to learn it, Because they who don’t want to learn it is not really Indonesian people. Don’t let our culture are stolen by other.

Hortatory exposition example

The school committee of SMAN 1 Welahan Jepara.

Dear sir,

We have writing this letter to you because we are concerned about education quality of SMAN 1 Welahan.

To improve the students’ quality in language learning, we need language laboratory.

As we know, two of the subjects given on the national final examination are Bahasa Indonesia and English. Especially on English, there is listening comprehension section on the test. Students should be prepared to do listening test and one of the instruments needed is language laboratory.

Actually we have tape recorder to teach listening, but it is a matter of problem since the teacher must bring tape recorder, wire, cassette and other material from class to class. It wastes of energy and time. Teachers are busy on preparing instruments. If we have language laboratory, teacher can prepare the material of lesson without disturbing preparing the instruments.

Furthermore, language laboratory is not only used by English lesson, but also can be used by any language lessons. There are four language lessons in SMANELA, they are Bahasa Indonesia, English, Arabic and Bahasa Jawa. Those teachers can use language laboratory when teaching and it is very useful for students.
