BUMIKU...

_Ibu merupakan peran sosial yang sangat dekat dengan kita dan sangat berperan dalam kehidupan kita. Ibu adalah bumiku, tempatku menumpang hidup, tempatku mendapatkan makan dari saripati manis rahim ibuku, menghisapnya untukku tumbuh, menghisapnya untukku hidup. Aku hidup dari bagian dirinya, bagian yang kuhisap, dan ku biarkan mengering, kisut, mengeriput.

_Kasih sayang yang tulus beliau limpahkan kepada keluarganya, terutama buah hatinya, tanpa syarat. Sikap sabar, pemaaf, penyayang, pengertian terhadap setiap situasi yang ku hadapi melekat pada dirinya. Ibu selalu membimbingku dalam segala hal. Karena bahagiaku adalah bahagianya, dan dukaku adalah dukanya. Meskipun dalam hati kecilku tak ingin duka yang aku rasakan menjadi dukanya. Tapi itulah ibu,selalu merasakan apa yang buah hatinya rasakan.

_Memang terkadang beliau menunjukkan kasih sayangnya melalui tidakan tegas bahkan kemarahan apabila kita melakukan kesalahan. Namun, semua itu semata-mata karena beliau ingin nantinya kita menjadi individu yang berhasil, sehat jasmani dan rohani. Tetapi mengapa kita sulit menyadari hal itu. Terkadang atau bahkan setiap ibu marah kita juga menanggapi dengan kemarahan, mengeluarkan kata-kata yang membuat bumi kita sakit dan rapuh.

_Terkadang aku menyesal dan ingin memutar waktu kembali. Aku menyesal telah menyakiti hati ibu, sering membangkang dan tidak menuruti perintahmu. Maafkan aku bu.....!!!! Kau sLalu ada saat aku membutuhkanmu.,,Tapi bagaimana dengan aku.,???? Sungguh menyesal rasanya saat aku ingat di saat kau sakit aku tidak ada di sampingmu, tetapi saat aku sakit kau tak pernah jenuh menemaniku...maafkan aku ibu....!!! Rasanya tiada guna ku teteskan air mata saat ini.,Karna pasti bukan itu yang kau ingin kan....Maafkan aku bu...Aku berjanji di sisa waktu ini aku akan berusaha membahagiakanmu.,,membuatmu bangga dan tak kan mengecewakanmu...



Ibu..jasamu besar sekali..
bagaimana ku membalasmu..oh ibu..
Ibu..cintamu tulus abadi...
Tiada seorangpun menandingmu..oh ibu...

Biar bintang dan rembulan ku persembahkan padamu...
namun itu semua tak terbalaskan..
Hanya do'a yang ku panjatkan semoga kau bahagia..
Dunia dan akhirat.....


_Thanks Mom...
You're the best woman in my life...
Luph u Mom...

Analytical Exposition

An analytical exposition is a type of spoken or written text that is intended to persuade the listeners or readers that something is the case. To make the persuasion stronger, the speaker or writer gives some arguments as the fundamental reasons why something is the case. This type of text can be found in scientific books, journals, magazines, newspaper articles, academic speech or lectures, research report etc. Analytical expositions are popular among science, academic community and educated people. The generic structure of analytical exposition usually has three components: (1) Thesis, (2) Arguments and (3) Reiteration or conclusion.

A.Generic Structure of Analytical Exposition
1. Thesis : Introduces the topic and shows speaker or writer’s position;
Outlines of the arguments are presented.
2. Arguments : It consists about Point and Elaboration
Point, states the main argument
Elaboration, develops and supports each point of argument
3. Conclusion : Reiteration (restatement), restates speaker or writer’s position

B. Generic Features

1. An analytical exposition focuses on generic human and non human participants.
2. It uses mental processes. It is used to state what the writer or speaker thinks or feels about something. For example: realize, feel etc.
3. It uses emotive and evaluative words
4. It often needs material processes. It is used to state what happens, e.g. ….has polluted… etc.
5. It usually uses Simple Present Tense and Present Perfect Tense.
6. Enumeration is sometimes necessary to show the list of given arguments: Firstly, secondly …, Finally, etc.


Now look the sample of analytical exposition below!

Corruption and Indonesian Culture
Corruption has happened for many years and today it becomes a bad culture in Indonesia for three reasons

Most adult Indonesian or foreigners have known and admitted that corruptions happen in many places. The daily newspapers, news programs on TV and radio have reported corruptions are done everywhere, almost in all departments or public services of this country. Corruptions happen in health, education departments and banks. When we manage to get some documents in public service offices, we usually need much money to pay. Manipulations happen everywhere

The actions to eliminate corruption are weak. The ever stronger culture seems not to come to an end when the responsible institutions who have to reinforce the justice today commit corruption. This is the worst. Corruptions happen in police department, courts where judges, public prosecutors, lawyers make deals to do corruption. All of us also heard in the end of 2004, Probosutejo reported that he had bribed the Supreme Court, or called Mahkamah Agung which becomes the highest level where the justice can be obtained. Perhaps you have to try to come to the local courts and see what happen there. You will see practices of bribery and other kinds of corruption. Therefore, we can say that corruptions becomes our culture. Do you like it?

The citizens have no goodwill to fight against the corruption. They create the situations in which people have opportunities to do corruptions. The citizens like to break the rules because they are not disciplined. For example, in the street when they drive a car or ride motorcycle, they do not have the driving license or necessary documents. Then, they are caught by the local policemen. To avoid more difficulties, they like to bribe the officer. The officer let them go then. In other words, the citizens and officers are the same, doing corruption together. If only the people were critical, disciplined, and obey the rules, and willing to report any wrong behaviors, this country will not be number one corrupting country in the world.
conclusion Based on the reasons, we can conclude that corruption is becoming a bad culture in Indonesia if it is not ended soon by all of us. It seems that there must be more severe penalty for the corruptors. Do we still care about the future of this country?

Read the following text!

The Importance of English

Thesis { I personally think that English is the world’s most important language. Why do I say that?


Argument 1 { Firstly, English is an international language. It is spoken by many people all around the world, either as a first or second language.


Argument 2 { Secondly, English is also the key which opens doors to scientific and technical knowledge, which is needed for the economic and political development of many countries in the world.

Argument 3 { Thirdly, English is a top requirement of those seeking jobs. Applicants who master either active or passive English are more favorable than those who do not.

Conclusion { From the fact above, it is obvious that everybody needs to learn English to greet the global era.

Notes:

1. Enumerations such as Firstly, secondly, thirdly etc are sometimes given to show the list of given arguments
2. Present Tense: I think, English is international language, Everybody needs to learn English etc.



To make clear understand these notes:
