Galih : Hi, good morning. Am I not mistaken seeing you taking a bus to school?
Ratna : What’s wrong with taking a bus? I’m trying to reduce the global warming.
Galih : Global Warming? What is it?
Ratna : Global Warming has become the hottest issue in the world today. Our world faces a very serious
threat of Global Warming now. There is a rise in temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere.
Galih : How come?
Ratna : Well, human activities all over the globe release excessive amount of carbon dioxide, methane, and
other gases into the atmosphere. They produce greenhouse gases and trap the sun’s energy so it
keeps heat from escaping. That’s what causes the Global Warming.
Galih : Does it affect us?
Ratna : Sure. It causes changes in climate. A warmer earth may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in
sea level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife and humans.
Galih : Is there anything we can do to stop the Global Warming?
Ratna : Well, climate scientists have proposed some solutions. They propose us to bike or ride public
transport. They also propose that we unplug the electric devices when not in use, reduce the
garbage by buying products with less packaging, and we are also encouraged to use recycled paper.
Galih : Those are easy to do!
Ratna : They can make a big different though.

A park is important to schools. Therefore, every school should have one. First, they can use it for outdoor lessons
or individual study. Studying in a park will vary lessons and therefore increase enthusiasm. Moreover, because it is
usually not really close to the classrooms, students may play games during lessons more freely, without being afraid of
disturbing other classes.
It will also help student take care of the environment well. Each class maybe scheduled to water the plants and
flowers and to collect garbage such as dry leaves or fallen flowers, to make fertilizer.
Besides, students may relax there. By enjoying trees and flowers, they will feel fresh after doing difficult tests or
lessons. Several studies suggest that seeing trees and plants help people have good feelings or feel comfortable.

respect for one another. However, it is one the many values that is not easy for our students to learn.
Inner discipline, one that comes from an understanding of the set rules and regulation, is the highest form

work, etc. Here, we do not agree that late comers should be shut out. They can be given warnings, most of which are
enough to make them try their best to reach the school on time latter. If this fails, invite the parent to school.
By closing the gates, the school is behaving cruelly, to which we prefer not to expose our children. Every school
has responsibility to implant good educational principle, but it should be in appropriate ways. Good schools create
competitive students who can organize themselves effectively in society, so that everyone gets a quality life as a result of
