Example Of Text

Example 1:
Babakan Mantri, October 27, 2010
The school committee of SMA Al Huda Babakan Mantri.

Dear sir,
We have writing this letter to you because we are concerned about education quality of SMA
Al Huda Babakan Mantri.
To improve the students‟ quality in language learning, we need language laboratory.
As we know, two of the subjects given on the national final examination are Bahasa Indonesia
and English. Especially on English, there is listening comprehension section on the test.
Students should be prepared to do listening test and one of the instruments needed is language
laboratory.
Actually we have tape recorder to teach listening, but it is a matter of problem since the teacher
must bring tape recorder, wire, cassette and other material from class to class. It wastes of
energy and time. Teachers are busy on preparing instruments. If we have language laboratory,
teacher can prepare the material of lesson without disturbing preparing the instruments.
Furthermore, language laboratory is not only used by English lesson, but also can be used by
any language lessons. There are four language lessons in SMANELA, they are Bahasa
Indonesia, English, Arabic and Bahasa Jawa. Those teachers can use language laboratory when
teaching and it is very useful for students.
For the reason above, I urge the school commitee to build language laboratory.
That's our open letter, we need support and participation from all school component.

Sincerely yours

English teachers of SMA Al Huda Babakan Mantri

Removing Lead from Petrol

In all the discussion over the removal of lead from petrol (and the atmosphere) there
doesn't seem to have been any mention of the difference between driving in the city and the
country.
While I realize my leaded petrol car is polluting the air wherever I drive, I feel that
when you travel through the country, where you only see the another car every five to ten
minutes, the problem is not as severe as when traffic is concentrated on city roads.
Those who want to penalize older, leaded petrol vehicles and their owners don't seem
to appreciate that, in the country, there is no public transport to fall back upon and one's own
vehicle is the only way to get about.
I feel that the country people, who often have to travel huge distances to the nearest
town and who already spend a great deal of money on petrol, should be treated differently to
the people who live in the city.

Example 3:

Dear Editor,

We are writing to complain about ads on TV. There are so many ads, especially during our
favourite programmes. We think they should be stopped for a number of reasons.

First, ads are nuisance. They go on for a long time and there are so many. Sometimes there
seems to be more ads than programmes.

Second, ads are bad influence on people. They try to encourage people to buy unhealthy food
like beer, soft drink, candy and chips. And they make people want things they do not really
need and can not.

Finally, the people who make ads have too much say in what programmes people watch. That
is because they want to put all their ads on popular programs that a lot of people watch. Some
programmes which are not so popular get stopped because they do not attract enough ads,
even though those programmes may be someone‟s favourite.

For those reasons, we think TV station should stop showing ads. They interrupt programmes.
They are bad influences on people, and they are sometimes put a stop to people‟s favourite
shows. We are sick of ads, and now we mostly watch other channels.
