Bee</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, and are known for their role in pollination and for producing honey and beeswax. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees in nine recognized families though many are undescribed and the actual number is probably higher. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.<br />
<br />
Bees have a long proboscis (a complex "tongue") that enables them to obtain the nectar from flowers. They have antennae almost universally made up of 13 segments in males and 12 in females, as is typical for the super family. Bees all have two pairs of wings, the hind pair being the two; in a very few species, one sex or caste has relatively short wings that make flight difficult or impossible, but none are wingless.<br />
<br />
The bee is Trigona minima, a stingless bee whose workers are about 2.1 mm (5/64") long. The largest bee in the world is Megachile pluto, a leafcutter bee whose females can attain a length of 39 mm (1.5"). Members of the family Halictidae, or sweat bees, are the most common type of bee in the Northern Hemisphere, though they are and often mistaken for wasps or flies.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Venice, a City of Water</b></div>
<br />
Venice is a city in northern Italy. It is the capital of region Veneto. Together with Padua, the city is included in the Padua-Venice Metropolitan Area. Venice has been known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”, “City of Water”, “City of Bridges”, and “The City of Light”. The city stretches across 117 islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.<br />
<br />
Venice is world-famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 117 islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the old center, the canals serve the function of roads, and every form of transport is on water or on foot.<br />
<br />
You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat which nowadays is mostly used for tourists, or for weddings, funerals, or ceremonies. Now, most Venetians travel by motorized waterbuses (“vaporetti”) which ply regular routes along the major canals and between the city‟s islands. The city also has many private boats. The only gondolas still in common use by Venetians are the traghetti, foot passenger ferries crossing the Grand Canal at certain points without bridges.<br />
<br />
You can see the amusing city‟s landmarks such as Piazza San Marco, Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, Saint Mark‟s Cathedral or villas of the Veneto. The villas of the Veneto, rural residences for nobles during the Republic, are one of the most interesting aspects of Venetian countryside. They are surrounded by elegant gardens, suitable for fashionable parties of high society. The city is also well known for its beautiful and romantic view, especially at night.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Story of Toglai and Toglibon</b></div>
<br />
In the beginning there lived one man and one woman, Toglai and Toglibon. Their first children were a boy and a girl. When they were old enough, the boy and the girl went far away across the waters seeking nice place to live in. Nothing more was heard of them until their children, the Spaniards and Americans, came back. After the rst boy and girl left, other children were born to the couple; but they all remained at Cibolan on Mount Apo with their parents, until Toglai and Toglibon died and became spirits. Soon after that there came a great drought which lasted for three years. All the waters dried up, so that there were no rivers, and no plants could live.<br />
<br />
“Surely,” said the people, “Manama is punishing us, and we must go elsewhere to find food and a place to dwell in.”<br />
<br />
So they started out. Two went in the direction of the sunset, carrying with them stones from Cibolan River. After a long journey they reached a place with broad fields of cogon grass and an abundance of water, and there they made their home. Their children still live in that place and are called Magindanau, because of the stones which the couple carried when they left Cibolan.<br />
<br />
Two children of Toglai and Toglibon went to the south, seeking a home, and they carried with them a women’s baskets (baraan). When they found a good spot, they settled down. Their descendants, still dwelling at that place, are called Baraan or Bilaan, because of the women’s baskets.<br />
<br />
So two by two the children of the first couple left the land of their birth. In the place where each settled a new people developed, and thus it came about that all the tribes in the world received their names from things that the people carried out of Cibolan, or from the places where they settled.<br />
<br />
All the children left Mount Apo except two (a boy and a girl). Hunger and thirst had made them too weak to travel. One day when they were about to die the boy crawled out to the field to see if there was one living thing, and to his surprise he found a stalk of sugarcane growing lustily. He eagerly cut it, and enough water came out to refresh him and his sister until the rains came. Because of this, their children are called Bagobo.</div>

In this occasion, you will read "The Magic Headcloth". It is one of best legend from Central Java, Indonesia. The story is about The King Medangkamulan, Dewata Cengkar and a traveller named Ajisaka.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Magic Headcloth</b></div>
<br />
Many, many years ago, the kingdom of Medangkamulan was ruled by a much feared and ferocious king named Dewata-chengkar. This king had a strange and frightening habit–he liked to eat human beings!<br />
<br />
At first, the advisers took people from the countries they had conquered, but eventually they had to look for victims from among their own people. The people of Medangkamulan were terrified of the king and his army.<br />
<br />
One day, a young traveler arrived in the kingdom. He was kind and clever and was well–received by the villagers. He was called Ajisaka.<br />
<br />
Ajisaka took shelter in the house of a widow who quickly came to look upon the young man as her own son. Ajisaka began to teach the villagers. He also listened to the villagers' problems and often helped them find solutions.<br />
<br />
When he heard of the king's strange appetite, Ajisaka sympathized with their plight and immediately volunteered to become the king's next meal.<br />
<br />
Ajisaka went directly to the king's palace. He boldly announced to the king that he was willing to sacrifice himself. “<br />
<br />
I am willing to be your next meal. Your Highnees. However, I have a request.“<br />
<br />
“Whatever you please, young man, I will grant your request,“ the king replied.<br />
<br />
“Before you eat me, grant me some land. Just enough for my own grave.“<br />
<br />
“Ha ha ha! Your own grave? I will give you enough land for many graves!“<br />
<br />
“Oh no, Your Majesty. I just need land that is the length of my own headcloth.“<br />
<br />
“This you shall have. Come, let us measure your headcloth so that I can have my meal and you can have your grave!“<br />
<br />
With this, Ajisaka began to unwrap the cloth tied around his head. The king got down from his throne and took hold of one end. He stepped backward, thingking that the cloth would unravel to the usual length of one meter. What he didn't know was that this headcloth was much longer than usual!<br />
<br />
The king kept going backward, step by step, as the cloth kept unraveling. He stepped backward through the palace square, backward across the village marketplace, backward down the length of the village and backward through the countryside.People gathered, amazed at the sight of their king walking backward through the kingdom, holding the end of Ajisaka's headcloth. He kept stepping backward the length of his kingdom until finally he reached the sea cliftts of the Southern Seas.<br />
<br />
By now, a great crowd had gathered. They held their breath as their king took his final step backward over the cliff's edge and plunged into the waves crashing againts the rocks at the foot of the sea wall. A victorious roar rose up as they watched their greedy king disappear under the waves.<br />
<br />
The crowd returned to the palace with Ajisaka and thanked him for his courage, cunning, and magical powers. They made him their new king. To this day, Ajisaka is remembered as the wise ruler who later brought the knowledge of letters to the Javanese. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>How the Water Cycle Works</b></div>
<br />
Solar energy evaporates exposed water from seas, lakes, rivers, and wet soil; the majority of this evaporation takes place over the seas. Water is also released into the atmosphere by the plants through photosynthesis. During this process, known as evapotranspiration, water vapour rises into the atmosphere.<br />
<br />
Clouds form when air becomes saturated with water vapour. The two major types of cloud formation are stratified or layered grey clouds called stratus and billowing white or dark grey cloud called cumulus.Nimbostratus clouds and cumulonimbus clouds are the two cloud types that are associated with rainy weather; nimbostratus clouds will bring steady rain, and cumulonimbus clouds will bring stromy weather.<br />
<br />
Precipitation as rain, or hail ensures that water return to Earth's surface in a fresh form. Some of this rain, however, falls into the seas and is not accessible to human. When rain falls, it either washes down hill slopes or seeps underground; when snow and hail melt, this water may also sink into the ground<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Where Does Rain Come From</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Rain always comes from clouds. But where do clouds come from? How does all that water get into the sky?<br />
<br />
Think about your bathroom. There is hot water in your bath. Steam goes up from the hot water. The steam makes small clouds in the bathroom. These warm clouds meet the cold walls and windows, and then we see small drops of water on the walls and windows.<br />
<br />
The world is like your bathroom. The water in the oceans warms when the sun shines on it. Some of this water goes up into the sky and makes clouds. The wind carries the clouds for hundreds of kilometers. Then the clouds meet cold air in the sky, and we see drops of water. The drops of water are rain.<br />
<br />
The rain falls and runs into rivers. Rivers run into oceans. And the water from oceans makes clouds and more rain. So water is always moving from oceans to clouds to rain to rivers to oceans. So the rain on your head was on other heads before! The water in your garden was in other gardens in other countries.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Phenomena of El Nino</b></div>
<br />
<b>What Is El Nino (General Statement)</b><br />
El Nino is a warm water current which moves off the west coast of Chile and Peru. The current is believed to be closely associated with irregular variations in the global weather system and it occurs approximately every 7–11 years. The wider consequences of El Nino can be catastrophic. The current is associated with short–term changes in worldwide climate patterns, and may cause drought in place such as Australia and violent tropical cyclones in the Pacific Ocean. Some scientists fear that global warming may be making El Nino occur more frequently.<br />
<br />
<b>How does El Nino Occurs (Explanation)</b><br />
The combined influence of land, sea and air on weather conditions can create a global climate rhythm. In the Pacific Ocean, for example (A), trade winds normally blow from east to west (1) along the Equator, “dragging” sun–warmed surface waters into a pool of North Australia and there by the thermocline–the boundary between warm surface waters and the cooler layers beneath (2). High cumulus clouds form above these warm waters, bringing rain in the summer wet season (3). Cooler, nutrient-rich waters rise to surface off Southern America (4), supporting extensive shoals of anchovies on which a vast fishing industry has developed. The weather over this cold water region is dry.<br />
<br />
Every 3–5 years a change occurs in the ocean-atmosphere interaction. The climatic pattern is reserved (B)–an event known as El Nino. The trade winds ease, or even reverse direction (5), during El Nino and the warm surface waters which have “pilled up” in the West Pacific flow back to warm the waters off South America by 2–3°C (6). This depresses the east thermocline (7) and dramatically affects the climate. In an El Nino year, drought and bush fires occur over Australia, while flood affect Bolivia and Peru. The warm waters off South America suppress upwelling of the cold nutrient rich waters, bringing disaster to the fishing industry.<br />

Explanation or also knows as explanatory text is a kind of text that explain the processes involved in the formation or workings of natural or <i>sociocultural</i> phenomena.<br />
<br />
Explanation Text is a kind of Factual Genre. Explanation Text consist of two structure, they are general statement and explanation.<br />
<br />
General Statement provides a general statement to position the reader. It focuses on generic, non human participants.<br />
<br />
Explanation gives a sequence explaining of why or how something occurs. It is comprised mainly material and relational process, temporal, causal circumstances and conjunctions.<br />
<br />
Here is one of the example of Explanation or Explanatory text. It explains about science. It is About The causes air to rise. Remember that it is just a simple example. You can develop by your self according your need and your tasks from your teacher. You may use it as a reference.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What Causes Air to Rise?</b> </div>
<br />
There are several ways in which air can be forced to rise, thus causing the water droplets to condense. We will look at each of these in turn.<br />
<br />
<b>1. The air is heated from the ground</b><br />
This tends to occur mainly in the tropics, where the air in contact with the ground is warmer than the air above. So it will rise. As a result, sometimes huge thunder–clouds (called cumulonimbus clouds) form and the associated rainfall can be very heavy. This type of rainfall is called convection rain.<br />
<br />
<b>2. The air is forced to cross a mountain barrier</b><br />
As an air mass crosses a mountain barrier, it is forced to rise. If the mountains are sufficiently high and the air mass contains enough moisture, clouds will form and rain will fall on the windward side (the side closest to where the air mass is coming form). This rainfall is known as <i>orographic</i> rain, meaning “caused by the shape of the land”. The air mass, now drier and warmer, will continue to flow down the other side of the mountains (the leeward side).<br />
<br />
<b>3. Air rises as it enters an area of low pressure</b><br />
As air rises, other air must replace it which, in turn, also rises. This is a complex process. As the air rises, it moves in a spiral, but if enough air enters an area of flow pressure, clouds will form and rain may fall</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Acid Rain</b></div>
Acid rain is rain that is highly acidic because of sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other air pollutants dissolved in it. Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of 6. Acid rain may have a pH value as low as 2.8.<br />
<br />
Acid rain can severely damage both plant and animal life. Certain lakes, for example, have lost all fish and plant life because of acid rain.<br />
<br />
Acid rain comes from sulphur in coal and oil. When they burn, they make sulphur dioxide (SO2). Most sulphur leaves factory chimneys as the gaseous sulphur dioxide (SO2) and most nitrogen is emitted as nitrogen oxides (NO or NO2), both of which are gases. The gases may be dry deposited–absorbed directly by the land, by lakes or by the surface vegetation. If they are in the atmosphere for any time, the gases will oxidise (gain an oxygen atom) and go into solution as acids. Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and the nitrogen oxides will become nitric acid (HNO3).<br />
<br />
The acids usually dissolve in cloud droplets and may travel great distances before being precipitated as acid rain. Catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone and ammonium help promote the formation of acids in clouds. More ammonium (NH4) can be formed when some of the acids are partially neutralised by airborne ammonia (NH3). Acidification increases with the number of active hydrogen (H+) ions dissolved in acid. Hydrocarbons emitted by for example, car exhausts will react in sunlight with nitrogen oxides to produce ozone. Although it is invaluable in the atmosphere, low level ozone causes respiratory problems and also hastens the formation of acid rain.<br />
<br />
When acid rain falls on the ground it dissolves and liberates heavy metals and aluminium (Al). When it is washed into lakes, aluminium irritates the outer surfaces of many fish. As acid rain falls or drains into the lake the pH of the lake falls. Forests suffer the effect of acid rain through damage to leaves, through the loss of vital nutrients, and through the increased amounts of toxic metals liberated by acid, which damage roots and soil micro organisms.</div>

Hello readers! We are glad to see you again. We give you another example of Narrative text to make you understand genre you learned.<br />
<br />
In this occasion, you will read "The Story of Sangkuriang". It is one of popular legend from West Java, Indonesia. This story also known as The Legend of Tangkuban Perahu.<br />
<br />
Enjoy reading this text. Hopefully, you can develop this text with your own writing. Try to write narrative text with your own words.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Story of Sangkuriang</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
A very long time ago in West Java, there lived a king, named Raden Sungging Pebangkara. He was a good ruler. He liked hunting in the forest very much.<br />
<br />
In the forest, there lived a she-pig, actually a cursed goddess. One day, she came out of her hiding place looking for water. There, she saw a coconut shell filled with water. Expecting it to be coconut milk she drank it, having no suspicions that it was the king's urine left there the day before when he went hunting.<br />
<br />
The consequence was very strange. She became pregnant. A few months later she gave birth to a very pretty girl.<br />
<br />
When the king was hunting again in the forest, he saw the girl and was attracted by her beauty. He took her to his palace, then he called her Dayang Sumbi and treated her as his own daughter.<br />
<br />
Time passed and Dayang Sumbi grew up into a beautiful girl. She was fond of weaving.<br />
<br />
One morning as she was weaving, her weaving spool flew out of the window to the field. Because she was very tired, she mumbled, “Whoever is willing to help me pick up the spool, I'll treat her as my sister if she is a girl. If he is a man, I'll treat him as my husband”. These words were heard by a dog, called Tumang, actually a cursed god too. He immediately picked up the spool and gave it to Dayang Sumbi. Seeing the dog had helped her, she fainted. The god had decided for her to undergo the fate. She became pregnant and a short time afterwards she gave birth to a healthy strong son whom she called Sangkuriang.<br />
<br />
Sangkuriang became a handsome young man, as time went by. Like his grandfather, he was fond of hunting in the forest and Tumang was his faithful friend when roaming the woods. He didn't realize that Tumang was actually his father.<br />
<br />
One day, when the dog didn't obey him to chase the pig, Sangkuriang was very angry and killed the dog and cut up his flesh into pieces and took it home to his mother. For a moment Dayang Sumbi was speechless and took a spool and flung it at him. This left a scar on the spot. Then Dayang Sumbi sent him away.<br />
<br />
Sangkuriang left and wandered through the woods. He walked for years.<br />
<br />
Finally he returned to his native place, but did not recognise it any longer. At the end of a vast rice field, he noticed a house and saw a young girl sitting at her weaving-loom. He approached her and was charmed by her beauty. He was unaware that she was his own mother. Dayang Sumbi had been given eternal beauty by the gods which was why she looked young forever. She looked at him and noticing his good looks, she promised to marry him. They made plans for their wedding day, but one day she discovered the scar on his forehead. She knew that he was her own son who had come back to his village.<br />
<br />
She made an effort to make him understand that marriage between them was impossible, but Sangkuriang refused to accept it. She had an idea and said to him“All right, you shall marry me if only you can dam up the Citarum river and build a big vessel all in one night”.<br />
<br />
Sangkuriang agreed and started to work by using his magic powers and his praying to the gods for help.<br />
<br />
To prevent the marriage, before Sangkuriang finished his work, she stretched the red veil which covered her head over the eastern side of the plain. Through her magic powers, the red light spread over the landscape, giving the impression that the sun was rising and that the time was up. Angrily, Sangkuriang kicked the vessel which was almost finished, upside down.<br />
<br />
Some times later the vessel became the mountain of Tangkuban Perahu on the northern side of Bandung</div>

One of the popular text type or genre is procedure text. Almost the students in high school know what procedure text is. Procedure text can be defined as texts that describe how something is accomplished through sequence of actions or steps. Some people say that procedure text is texts that show us about sequence of steps to finish something or to use something. Procedure texts consist of series of actions to be accomplished in order to obtain the same result under the same circumstances.<br />
<br />
Procedure text has specific generic structure. It consist of goal or aim (usually is a title of the text), material (optional, not all procedure text use material in it) and steps (action must be taken).<br />
<br />
Most procedure texts give information about how to do something or how something is accomplished through sequence of actions or steps. Procedure Text tells us about food recipes, manual book of electronic appliances or how to make something.<br />
<br />
Here is one of the examples of procedure text about how to convert Ms. Excel File to PDF File. This procedure text gives several procedures to convert document in the form of excel into PDF file.<br />

<b>Spanish Thief Saw Himself as Robin Hood-Like Bandit</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b><i>Newsworthy Event</i></b><br />
Madrid (Reuters) - Spain's most wanted thief, "The Loner," saw himself as a Robin Hood-style figure and said he robbed banks only because they stole from the public, his lawyer said Thursday.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Background Event</i></b><br />
Accused of killing three policemen and holding up more than 30 banks, Jaime Jimenez Arbe was planning to move on to insurance companies when he was arrested last month, Spanish media reported, citing lawyer Jose Mariano Trillo-Figueroa.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Sources</i></b><br />
"I am not a killer and if I was obliged to shoot at officers of the law, it was always against my will and in order to avoid being arrested," Jimenez said in a letter reproduced on the websites of newspapers El Pais and El Mundo.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Sources</i></b><br />
Trillo-Figueroa said Jimenez, who robbed the banks disguised in a false beard and a wig, thinks of himself as Curro Jimenez, a Spanish 1970s television bandit in the style of Robin Hood.<br />

<b>Wade withdraws from U.S. Basketball Team</b></div>
<br />
<b>Newsworthy Event</b><br />
(Reuters) - Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade withdrew his name from the player pool for the U.S. Olympic basketball team on Thursday because his injured left knee will require surgery, USA Basketball said.<br />
<br />
<b>Background Event</b><br />
After receiving the diagnosis from the Heat team physician, the All-Star guard, who helped Miami win the NBA title in five games over the Oklahoma City Thunder, informed USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo that he was having the surgery soon and would be unable to compete in London.<br />
<br />
<b>Sources</b><br />
"As many people may know, throughout the season, I struggled with a recurring knee issue," Wade said in a statement. "After the championship game, I visited with my doctors for a round of comprehensive medical tests, and the recent results dictate the need for surgery. "While every part of me wants to be in London, I need to take this time to do what's best to improve my health and allow me to continue to play the game I love."<br />
<br />
Wade was the U.S. team's leading scorer in their run to 2008 Olympic gold in Beijing, scoring a game-high 27 points as the Americans beat Spain 118-107 in the Olympic final.<br />
<br />
Despite having his knee drained during the NBA playoffs, Wade averaged over 22 points a game during Miami's championship series triumph over the Thunder. Wade's exit from the U.S. squad left 17 players in the mix for 12 spots on the Olympic team following injuries that removed several players from consideration, including Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls and Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic.Arief Tirtanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05652483253423776138noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013740537846817684.post-71488835128809230382019-01-19T07:40:00.001+07:002019-01-19T07:40:06.844+07:00Example of Hortatory Exposition: Boarding School Education<b>Definition of Hortatory Exposition</b><br />

A text below is one of the example of Hortatory Exposition. It is Hortatory Exposition about Education or Boarding School. Please, feel free to read the text below.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Boarding School Education</b></div>
<br />
<b><i>Thesis</i></b><br />
There are many arguments in favor of a boarding school education. Nevertheless, the boarding school is not always the best education institution for everyone.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Argument 1</i></b><br />
At an early age interacting and communicating with people is very important for a child’s personal life and can be especially helpful for his/her future. In a boarding school, shy children can take advantage of interaction through communal activities. The boarding school also offers a great variety of activities such as arts, sports, and music that allow children to demonstrate and develop specialized skills in their free time.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Argument 2</i></b><br />
Furthermore, the structured way of life and strict rules at the boarding school may helps students to get used to a well ordered way of life. The manners and social skills will help them to become more responsible and confident, and to develop their talents in leadership. Professionally trained teachers and educators in the boarding school can offer excellent education without the parents’ constant supervision.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Argument 3</i></b><br />
In spite of these good points, it is not advisable to send a child to a boarding school if he/she is a dependent learner. A boarding school usually demands that student learn independently. In addition, the boarding school should not be seen as a measure to solve inappropriate behavior or unsatisfactory study performance. Instead of improving, problematic children may close off their relationship with their peers and teachers.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Recommendation</i></b><br />
In conclusion although a boarding school may provide good education to many children, it is not recommended for those who are strongly attached to their families. They may become frustrated and socially isolated.Arief Tirtanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05652483253423776138noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013740537846817684.post-83453329206839347122019-01-18T03:59:00.000+07:002019-01-18T03:59:10.615+07:00Example of Hortatory Exposition: Provide more Dustbins to Make School Cleaner <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<br />
<b>Social Function of Hortatory Exposition</b><br />

<br />

<br />
Here is one of the example of Hortatory Exposition about cleanliness at school.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Provide more Dustbins to Make School Cleaner</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b><i>Thesis</i></b><br />
To improve comfort and cleanliness at the school, there should be an increasing number of dust bins.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Arguments</i></b><br />
When we look at classroom, school corridors and schoolyard, there papers, mineral water cops, straws, and napkin everywhere. The condition of unseemliness really hinders learning and teaching environment. They can be filled out with water coming from the rain. This can be placed for mosquito to spread out.<br />
<br />
Anyway I notice that most of the students have responsibilities for their school environment. They put their litter on the proper place but some of them are not diligent enough to find the dust bins. The numbers of the dust bins in the school are not enough. More dust bins should be put beside each step, outside of the classrooms and some along of the corridors. Probably one dust bin should be in every ten meters. So when students want to throw away their litters, they can find the dust bins easily.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Recommendation</i></b><br />
When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, students do not have problem of discomfort any more. So provide more dust bins and school will be very clean and become a very nice place to study.<br />

Here is the example of Hortatory Exposition. It is discussed about corruption.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Corruption Should be Eradicated at the Early Stage of School</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b><i>Thesis</i></b><br />
Do you know what the meaning of corruption is? What is the relation between money and corruption? Well, corruption is common everywhere in the world, even in the U.S. It’s just a matter of the intensity. However, it is quite shocking when one reliable survey claims Jakarta as the most corrupt place in Indonesia<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>Argument </i></b><br />
The survey has made me sad, actually, because I stay and earn a living here in the capital. As most people know, Tanjung Priok Port smuggling is not a new thing at all. Entrepreneurs, who want to minimize their tax payments, tend to do such thing more often. They even bribe the officials.<br />
<br />
Well, I think the measures taken so far to overcome the problem by punishing the corruptors is still not far enough. We have to prevent the younger generations from getting a bad mentality caused by corruption.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Recommendation</i></b><br />
I believe we should start at the earliest stages in school and I think everyone should be involved in the effort to eradicate corruption. We must not make any distinctions.<br />

<b><i>Newsworthy Event</i></b><br />
Moscow – A Russian journalist has uncovered evidence of another Soviet nuclear catastrophe, which killed 10 sailors and contaminated an entire town.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Background Event</i></b><br />
Yelena Vazrshavskya is the first journalist to speak to people who witnessed the explosion of a nuclear submarine at the naval base of shkotovo – 22 near Vladivostock<br />
<br />
<b><i>Sources </i></b><br />
The accident, which occurred13 months before the Chernobyl disaster, spread radioactive fall-out over the base and nearby town, but was covered up by officials of the Soviet Union. Residents were told the explosion in the reactor of the Victor-class submarine during a refit had been a ‘thermal’ and not a nuclear explosion. And those involved in the clean up operation to remove more than 600 tones of contaminated material were sworn to secrecy.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Sources</i></b><br />
A board of investigators was later to describe it as the worst accident in the history of the Soviet Navy. </div>

Learning a foreign language is an investment for the future that can produce many benefits whether it is for one’s career, travel adventures or personal growth.<br />
<br />
Learning a foreign language can take many months of dedication, however the venture will more than likely open the door to many opportunities. Learning a foreign language takes time, patience and sometimes money. Nevertheless, French, Arabic and Mandarin Chinese, among many others, are all languages that can provide great improvement to career, travel or intellect.<br />
<br />
Firstly, learning a foreign language can be advancement in our career. The 21st century trend in progress is globalization, and with improvement in technology that provides the ability to communicate with anyone, anywhere, more and more companies are working internationally. Employers will be looking for a valuable employee, one that can correspond with an international partner, investor, customer, etc. The fact that one is fluent in a foreign language will give an edge on their resume, which can make a stand out applicant. In other words, many companies will actually increase pay for those who can speak a foreign language and have used their skill towards increasing career performance.<br />
<br />
Secondly, learning foreign language can also enhance travel experience. Always dreamed of going to China, Egypt, Italy or Croatia? A dream vacation can be even better if one knows the language of the locals. By knowing the language of the land, one can increase their travel experience by being able to explore freely. An individual who is fluent in a specific foreign language is able to speak to the local people, shop, dine and respectfully enjoy a foreign land.<br />
<br />
Thirdly is, it can expand our intellect. Learning a language can be ultimately good for the mind. Through engaging in a foreign language, one is able to increase vocabulary, pushing the brain to its fullest capacity. Learning a foreign language also exercises the memory. Learning a foreign language can help to increase mental power by being able to speak and think in another language. <br />
<br />
Again, learning a foreign language is an investment of time and money, depending on the route chosen.

Troops started moving into devasted northern Queensland last night to help clean up after Cyclone Avivu left a toll of misery with one man dead, 40 injured, more than a hundred homes destroyed and cane fields flattened. <b><i>(Newsworthy Events)</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Helicopter, Trucks, sandbags, tarpaulins and electric generators were rushed into declared disaster areas immediate response to reports of widespread damage. Winds of up to 210 km/h just as intense as Cyclone Tracy which devastated Darwin ripped through the towns of Ayr, Home Hill, Brandon and Clare in the Burdekin District yesterday. At least 100 homes in the tiny sugar town of Ayr were uprooted. <b><i>(Background Events)</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An elderly man who was sheltering in his caravan near Ayr drowned when a huge gust picked up the van and hurled it into a creek. Another man was reported missing, feared drowned, at Bowen. At nearby Home Hill, Peter and Jennifer Dennis watched in horror as their home collapsed around them and their babies. <b><i>(Background Events)</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gino Pegoraro, 53, of Home Hill, wept as he surveyed his ruined house. Gino thought he heard his shed falling apart. “I put my head around the bathroom door…and I knew it was my house that had gone.”<b><i> (Sources)</i></b></div>
