Tsunami


The term of “tsunami” comes from the Japanese which means harbour ("tsu") and wave ("nami"). A tsunami is a series of waves generated when water in a lake or a sea is rapidly displaced on a massive scale.

A tsunami can be generated when the sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically displaces the overlying water. Such large vertical movements of the earth's crust can occur at plate boundaries.

Subduction of earthquakes are particularly effective in generating tsunami, and occur where denser oceanic plates slip under continental plates.

As the displaced water mass moves under the influence of gravity to regain its equilibrium, it radiates across the ocean like ripples on a pond.

Tsunami always bring great damage. Most of the damage is caused by the huge mass of water behind the initial wave front, as the height of the sea keeps rising fast and floods powerfully into the coastal area.

NEVER TRY SMOKING

A lot of people, especially teenagers, who do not smoke, always want to try smoking. They know it is bad for them and all, but it is just something they want to try. So they ask one of their smoker friends for a cigarette. Admittedly, they firstly can not light it on their own so they ask his friend to do it. Then they inhale that cigarette and smoke occasionally.
Apparently that makes them the born smokers. Now they do smoke fairly regularly. They can not avoid smoking and they enjoy too. They have smoker friends. Everyday they bring a pack in their pocket. For them, a pack of cigarette is as important as a wallet for their money.
Suddenly, for certain reason, they realize the fact that tobacco is the cause of a long list of nasty diseases. It is not only heart disease, stroke, and chronic lung disease but also bladder, lung, and pancreatic cancer. Even it was reported that around 400,000 Americans died each year. It was one every 80 seconds from tobacco-related illnesses.

Then they decide it is stupid to harm selves. They want to quit smoking. Unfortunately, they find that quitting smoking is so difficult. “Why can't I stop smoking? I really want to stop it”. It is hard to quit because nicotine is powerfully addictive. Cigarette is one of the most efficient drug-delivery devices ever devised. As result, when people try to quit smoking, they often experience classic nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, headache, depression, and restlessness.
Well, still want to try smoke? Think the facts before trying! If you are not smoker, you should never and never try to smoke.

Nasreddin sat and put off his coat. He put his coat and said; “Eat the food, Coat!” the hosts and guests were very surprised and asked Nareddin; “What are doing?” Nasreddin replied calmly; “When I came here with my old clothes, nobody looked at me. Then I went home and put on my best clothes. I came back in my newest coat and you all give me this best food and drink. So, you give food to my coat instead of me”. Getting Nasreddin's answer, they just shook the head.


Example : (Analytical Exposition)
Is Smoking Good for Us?

Before we are going to smoke, it is better to look at the fact. About 50 thousands people die every year in Britain as direct result of smoking. This is seven times as many as die in road accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers die because of diseases caused by smoking.
Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five cigarettes a day, we are six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a non smoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is nineteen greater. Ninety five percent of people who suffer of bronchitis are people who are smoking. Smokers are two and half times more likely to die of heart disease than non smokers.
Additionally, children of smoker are more likely to develop bronchitis and pneumonia. In one hour in smoky room, non smoker breathes as much as substance causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen cigarettes.
Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because they do make much money from smoking habit. Smoking however is not good for every body else.

What is a tornado?


Tornadoes are known as one of the most damaging disasters. What is the description of tornadoes? A tornado is a very powerful column of winds which spirals around a center of low atmospheric pressure. A tornado will look like a large black funnel which hangs down from a storm cloud.

The name "tornado" derives from the Latin "tonare". It means "to thunder." While the Spanish developed the word into "tornear" which means "to turn or twist". This is why a tornado is sometimes called twister or cyclone.

The winds inside a twister can spin around at speeds up to 500 miles an hour, but it usually travels at roughly 300 miles an hour. This speed twisting makes a tornado the most dangerous storm.

The average tornado has a diameter of about 200 to 300 yards. The smaller tornadoes are known as satellite tornadoes. These small offspring, about 50 yards across, can be very fierce and do lots of damage.

The forming of a tornado can be very quick. Sometimes it can form in a minute or less. A tornado can travel across the ground at high speeds, then it can suddenly vanish. Most tornadoes last less than twenty minutes and travel less than 15 miles. However, the super storms sometimes travel over 100 miles before they are exhausted.

Gift Card Bring Advantages and Disadvantages


Gift cards become more popular during recent years. For example, in one season of holiday, sales reach $19 billion in United Stated and seem to grow more in the following season due to their convenience in the side of consumers and retailers.

In retailers side, gift cards bring them some benefits. Selling gift card in simply selling product. When the cards are sold, they will get benefit. Additionally, gift card tends to be a matter of image and trend which means it is not strictly influenced by the functionality. Since gift card is the trend, the sales will increase significantly.

However, there is potential disadvantages in the side of consumers. For example, itune gift cards apply process in the way of completing the shopping. they need do one step to another steps in processing the shopping. Likely, most of the steps apply time and date of validity or expiration. When certain step loose that validating date, the gift cards may be in risk. The gift card can be rejected to redeem. Again, in retailers side, producing card its self is costly. It means that there is additional cost which retailers have to pay.
In whatever thing, we need to be wise. if we can use that gift.

Example : (Descriptive)
Gregory is my beautiful gray Persian cat. He walks with pride and grace, performing a dance of disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each paw with the delicacy of a ballet dancer. His pride, however, does not extend to his appearance, for he spends most of his time indoors watching television and growing fat.

He enjoys TV commercials, especially those for Meow Mix and 9 Lives. His familiarity with cat food commercials has led him to reject generic brands of cat food in favor of only the most expensive brands.

Gregory is as finicky about visitors as he is about what he eats, befriending some and repelling others. He may snuggle up against your ankle, begging to be petted, or he may imitate a skunk and stain your favorite trousers. Gregory does not do this to establish his territory, as many cat experts think, but to humiliate me because he is jealous of my friends.

After my guests have fled, I look at the old fleabag snoozing and smiling to himself in front of the television set, and I have to forgive him for his obnoxious, but endearing, habits.

Manusia sebagai Makhluk Sosial - essay

(essay) Manusia sebagai Makhluk Sosial

Sebaik-baik manusia adalah manusia yang bemanfaat bagi orang lain. Itulah kutipan yang seringkali kita dengar. Dalam artian sempit bahwa manusia yang baik adalah manusia yang berguna bagi orang lain. Lalu yang harus kita tanyakan pada diri kita sendiri adalah sudahkah kita menjadi manusia yang bermanfaat bagi orang lain? Yang menjadikan orang lain menjadi lebih baik karena kita? Jika belum, inilah saatnya untuk memperbaiki diri.

Seperti yang telah kita ketahui bahwa seluruh manusia dimuka bumi ini adalah makhluk sosial. Yang artinya saling membutuhkan antara satu sama lainnya. “Aku butuh kalian dan kalian butuh aku, aku takkan bisa tanpa kalian, dan kalian takkan bisa juga tanpa aku”. Karena pada hakikatnya manusia adalah individu yang bertanggung jawab atas tingkah laku intelektual dan sosial yang mampu mengarahkan dirinya ke tujuan yang positif, mampu mengontrol diri dalam menentukan nasibnya sendiri. Kita tidak akan bisa berkembang sesuai dengan yang kita inginkan jika kita hidup tanpa berbaur dengan lingkungan. Karena dalam hal seperti ini kita dituntut untuk bisa mengsinkronkan pemikiran kita dengan pemikiran orang lain.

Dalam hidup ini, banyak sekali hal dari yang paling kecil untuk kita sulap menjadi hal yang bermanfaat. Contoh kecilnya saja mulai dari bertukar pikiran atau sharing saja kita sudah membagikan ilmu kepada orang lain, sebab semanis-manis atau sepahit-pahit kejadian yang pernah kita alami tentunya masih ada orang lain yang lebih manis atau pahit lagi. Karena hidup ini bagai roda berputar yang silih berganti dari atas kebawah dan dari bawah keatas. Disinilah kita bersosial, saling mengisahkan kepribadian dengan satu sama lainnya, saling bicara untuk kepentingan bersama, saling berbagi dan melengkapi apa yang menjadi kekurangan pada orang lain.

Dengan mengingat kebaikan orang lain, juga melupakan kebaikan kita, selalu berpikiran positif, memiliki niat yang oke, bisa memberikan gagasan yang baik dan membantu mencapai cita-cita masyarakat luas, kita juga sudah memberikan nilai-nilai positif dalam membangun kehidupan sosial yang baik, dan tentunya tak lepas dari ilmu yang kita miliki.

Jika kita menjalankan kehidupan yang benar-benar sosial, maka lingkungan telah menjadi panutan bagi masyarakat sekitarnya. Jika lingkungan itu baik, maka baiklah pulalah orang disekitarnya, dan begitulah pulalah sebaliknya. Kita sombong, angkuh, acuh tak acuh atau apatis, egois hanya ingin menang sendiri atau lebih umumnya lagi tidak 5S (salam, senyum, sapa, sopan, dan santun), maka lingkungan berubah menjadi rusak, setiap manusia menjadi momok bagi manusia lainnya.

Pepatah mengatakan “dengan ilmu hidup menjadi mudah, dengan seni hidup menjadi indah, dan dengan iman hidup menjadi terarah”. Milikilah jiwa seperti ini. Mengupgradekan diri menjadi lebih baik tentulah dambaan semuanya. Selalu optimis, tetap konsisten, bersikap realistis, saling berbagi, dan terus berusaha, Insya Allah, semua akan tercapai. Mari kita turut memberi andil untuk mewujudkan masyarakat yang benar-benar berkualitas. Bukan masalah memulainya dari yang terkecil, ingat, sedikit-sedikit lama-lama menjadi bukit. Slow but sure. Yakin kita bisa!! KEEP IN TOUCH~***mf
