Once upon a time, there was a man who was very helpful, kind-hearted, and generous. He
was a man who will help someone without asking anything to pay him back. He will help someone
because he wants to and he loves to. One day while walking into a dusty road, this man saw a purse,
so he picked it up and noticed that the purse was empty. Suddenly a woman with a policeman shows
up and gets him arrested.
The woman kept on asking where he hid her money but the man replied, “It was empty when
I found it, Mam.” The woman yelled at him, “Please give it back, it’s for my son’s school fees.” The
man noticed that the woman really felt sad, so he handed all his money. He could say that the
woman was a single mother. The man said, “Take these, sorry for the inconvenience.” The woman
left and policeman held the man for further questioning.
The woman was very happy but when she counted her money later on, it was doubled, she
was shocked. One day while woman was going to pay her son’s school fees towards the school, she
noticed that some skinny man was walking behind her. She thought that he may rob her, so she
approached a policeman standing nearby. He was the same policeman, who she took along to inquire
about her purse. The woman told him about the man following her, but suddenly they saw that man
collapsing. They ran at him, and saw that he was the same man whom they arrested few days back
for stealing a purse.
He looked very weak and woman was confused. The policeman said to the woman, “He
didn’t return your money, he gave you his money that day. He wasn’t the thief but hearing about
your son’s school fees, he felt sad and gave you his money.” Later, they helped man stand up, and
man told the woman, “Please go ahead and pay your son’s school fees, I saw you and followed you to
be sure that no one steals your son’s school fees.” The woman was speechless.

Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown
away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic spoons,
can be recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new products.
In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy
than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for
high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the
manufacturing process.
Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and office
paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old
newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum foil. The
paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in a machine
that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to remove smaller
contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper fibers and
floats to the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as boiler fuel. The
cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood fibers to be made into paper again.
Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month.
Every ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill space. One ton of
recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper). Source: www.itapuihh.com

The internet connects all parts of the world without borders between them. Many people
take advantages of the internet network. One of them is by opening virtual stores, meaning
people are providing shops in cyberspace. They show photographs of goods with all their
characteristics. They also reflect prices, discounts and quality of goods. In addition to all the
convenience of shopping online, we have to be very careful and cautious in doing transactions
through cyberspace. Many people have experienced bad impacts of shopping online. Here are
some examples of negative impacts of shopping online.
First, people tend to become consumptive because quality goods are often sold cheaply
and buyers don’t need to go anywhere. Such convenience raises the desire to continue shopping
and it’s hard to resist.
Second, online shopping habits create crimes, such as deception. Many people take
advantages of this consumer psyche to open fake online stores aiming to get as much money as
possible. Many prospective buyers are deceived by such stores only because they offer bigger
discounts than usual. Without thinking people will immediately transfer money and hope to get
good stuff at very cheap price, but they never receive the goods they ordered.
Third, shopping online may create a feeling of disappointment because the items that
buyers receive do not match what they ordered. Unfortunately, the goods cannot be returned
which means they have lost their money and hope for getting good items.
Fourth, people tend to look at their cellphone very often to browse various virtual stores.
They began to ignore people and events that happen around them. Gradually, they will lose
their social empathy.
Knowing that there are many negative impacts of shopping online, we have to remain
cautions of scams and not shop online too often. We need to browse in real shops, so we are not
ignorant of people and events around us.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am one of your regular costumers. Whenever I am in Surabaya, Ialwayas go to your shop. However,
your shop assistans have disappointed me.
When I shopped last week, the shop assistants served another person first. I was sure she knew I came
first. I was annoyed more over because the person bought many things, which took a long time.
Then, another shop assistant served me. You know, I bought two 500 gram packs of coffee with a
label “buy two, get a nice goody bag.” However, your shop assistant said that the goody bag was not available.
She didn’t tell me when I could claim it, or offer another gift as a replacement. At least I hoped that she would
discount the price, but she didn’t.
The experience made me wonder whether you still have good costumer relations. I hope you will do
something about this, so that your costumers will not leave you.
Thank you for your attention and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours Faithfully.

Mega Ananda

If you’re considering a job as a television reporter, you may already know that there are advantages and
disadvantages. It’s important to look at both sides before determining whether this is truly the job for you.
This kind of television journalism job also offers excitement and fun. To be on a case, investigating a
story and searching for the truth can be exhilarating and exciting.
Moreover, the pay depends on what level of reporting you’re at. Obviously, more popular faces will get
paid more because more people tune in to watch the reporter. Making a name for yourself can really kick start
your career and help it become very beneficial for you. This is also a great stepping stone into other types of
journalism, from writing jobs to news shows to talk shows.
There’s also the benefit of really being able to help solve cases and ensure that the public is informed –
depending upon what type of television reporter job you secure. To realize you’re doing a good thing is very
rewarding in any job.
Not only is television reporting a very demanding job, but it can come with extremely long hours. This
means less time with family and loved ones, which can obviously put strain on relationships.
In some cases, television reporting can also be dangerous. If you’re chasing stories that are related to
crimes, there’s always the risk of injury, or death.
Another con is that television reporting comes with its own set of discriminations. Individuals who are
considered nice looking and attractive will have a higher chance of succeeding, because the public would
rather tune in to watch an attractive person report the news.
All in all, you need to look at your own desire and determine whether it’s truly important to you to pursue this
industry.
