THE USING OF E-BOOK BRINGS PROS AND
CONS
Nowadays,
technologies are developed really well all around the world. It makes our live
becoming more simple and comfortable. One of the technological products is
E-Book. E-Book stands for
Electronic Book, which means that E-Book is a book in a digital form and not in
printed forms. E-Book become the alternative way in reading any kinds of books,
and it can be saved in a digital file form in an electronic device. But, beside
the good things from E-Book, there are some contras behind the using of E-Book.
So actually, is it the using of E-Book will give more positive or just more
negative impacts to us?
Many
people recommend E-Book to become the alternative in reading, because there are
some reasons why using e-book instead of real book will help to lighten some
problems in reading activity. First, it will make them can read any book
wherever and whenever they are, because they can keep hundreds of e-book files in just one practical device
like laptop or e-book reader. The second reason, the using of real books means
cost a lot of papers to make printed book. The more papers used, the more trees
will be cut in making the papers. To deduct the amount of paper used, the using
of e-book will give a lot of help. For example, if a real book consists of 200
pages, then in e-book version it’s just very small amount. They can keep thousands
of pages in an e-book device, so it’s give a good impact for the trees and also
environment.
On
the other hand, there many people who didn’t agree that e-book just brings the
good effect for human. They said that reading e-book instead of real book will
diminish the feel or the pleasure in reading. Reading in front of digital
device in a long time will be harmful for the eyes and it will affect human’s
body. It must be really difficult if they have to read over 400 pages of e-book,
and the result are their eyes become red and staying in front of the device
like laptop will make them feel dizzy. Also, reading book in e-book version
means they must have a device to keep the e-book files we want to read. So, if
they didn’t have the device, they can’t read the e-book. It must be difficult
for the people who didn’t have a lot of money because they can’t buy the device
for e-book. The last reason is feeling of having a real printed form of the
book is make the reading process become more enjoyable than just read it from
the monitor of a device.

ACCIDENT
IN KENDARI BEACH
It happened on early 2011.
There was an accident between two motorcycles on the main road of Kendari
Beach. At that time there were a lot of people because it’s on holiday
afternoon. I was on that place to hold an event in restaurant at Kendari beach. But before the event open, I and my friends
decided to go to a park near the restaurant.
After that, we walked on
the side of the main road to back to the restaurant. Suddenly at the main road,
a motorcycle with a middle school student as its driver came from the left with
really high speed. At the same time, a motorcycle with a woman and two little
girls came from the opposite direction with normal speed. The accident can’t be
avoided. The student’s motorcycle crashed into the woman’s motorcycle and both
motorcycles fell on the road dragged for some meters. The people there are
really shocked to see this incident and crowded at the main road.
The student and his
motorcycle dragged for few meters but the student didn’t get any serious
injuries and fortunately still conscious and can walk. But unfortunately, the
other motorcycle, which indicated as a mother and her two daughters, dragged
and they got some injuries on them. The older daughters thrown away from the
motorcycle and she collapsed. The
younger daughter separated with the motorcycle not too far and luckily she
still safe and can stand. But their mother got a severe injury on her head. The
blood flowed from his left head and turned down to her shoulder and made her
clothes wet by bloods. But strangely the mother still conscious and sit while
she kept shouting her daughter’s names. The people there didn’t believe what
they saw, and the mother hugged her younger daughter and people carried the
older daughter who still unconscious to her mother. Fortunately, both the
daughters didn’t get serious injuries, only small wounds. People there get
worried with the mother who got an injury on her head, and told the mother that
she and her daughter must be carried to hospital. But strangely the mother kept
said that she wanted to go to his family’s house. People were pitied her and
thinks that the mother still traumatized and kept said weird things. People
carried them and brought them to the side of the road while waiting for the
ambulance.
On the other hand, the student with his
motorcycle still safe. The student still can walk and stand normally and he got
questioned by the traffic policeman. The traffic policeman asked why a middle
school student can ran a motorcycle on this large road and why he drove his
motorcycle at high speed. The people who saw this kept saying that the student
should not do that and his parents must getting called because of this
incident. The student bowed his head and didn’t say many things. Finally, the
ambulance came and brought the mother and his daughters to the nearest
hospital, while the student still got questioned by the traffic policeman, and he
must take the responsibility from causing the accident.

foreign language is very important to us, because it will become our media for
communicate with international world. Usually, we learned English as our second

France language and others are important because these languages also become
our modal to face international world. If we can master one of foreign language
beside English, our chance to success in international world will increased. It
is because we will understand things about that country, like their culture or
the people. If we can understand about a country, we’ll get a high chance to
communicate and make a good relationship with them.

we can success in mastering foreign language beside English, people will see us
as an intelligent and clever person. It is because of learning foreign language
is really difficult and also needs gradual steps to understand it. So, if a

the middle of learning. We can start doing it by choosing a foreign language
that we want to learn. We can learn it starting from things that we liked, such
as movies, comics, cartoons, etc. Then, we can move to materials that related
to academic and global theme. The more we encounter the words from foreign
language, the more and faster we can understand it. We must remember, learning
