Terimakasih, itulah kata yang diucapkan ketika kita mendapat bantuan, pemberian, hadiah, ataupun sekedar ucapan pujian. Saya berterimakasih kepada Bapak Kidam, beliau adalah salah satu pemateri dalam acara bedah SKL yang saya ikuti hari sabtu 12 desember baru-baru ini, terkait persiapan menjelang ujian nasional. Saat ini meskipun ujian nasional tidak menentukan kelulusan peserta didik, kata beliau, seorang guru tetap harus bersemangat memberikan yang terbaik kepada murid-muridnya. Bentuk pemberian terbaik itu bisa berupa cara mengajar yang efektif, inspiratif dan memberikan kenyamanan dalam belajar. Beliau menambahkan, dalam pengajaran bahasa hal penting yang diingat dan dilakukan adalah drill (pengulangan, latihan), praktek langsung, dan menemukan inner motivation (motivasi diri) sehingga mampu optimal dalam meraih target-target yang ada. Ketrampilan guru dalam menyusun soal merupakan salah satu kompetensi yang mempengaruhi kualitas soal itu sendiri apakah sudah sesuai indikator atau belum, reliable atau tidak, valid atau tidak, dan seterusnya. Meskipun kemampuan dan bakat siswa itu berbeda-beda, paling tidak terdapat kriteria ketuntasan minimal dari suatu mapel, biasa disingkat dengan KKM. Hal ini, berdampak pada suka atau tidak, siap atau tidak, enjoy atau tidak, si murid dalam belajar, mengerjakan soal, mengikuti kegiatan pembelajaran, dia harus mencapai kriteria ketuntasan minimal tadi.
Beliau menambahkan, nantinya ujian naional ini akan disediakan untuk tolok ukur kompetensi murid yang sekaligus sebagai bahan pertimbangan untuk masuk ke Perguruan Tinggi Negeri yang ada di Indonesia. Maka nilai rapor dari semester 1 hingga semester 6 akan dibandingkan dengan nilai murni ujian nasional, apakah terdapat perbedaan yang mencolok atau tidak, artinya nilai rapor yang tinggi itu diikuti oleh nilai ujian nasional yang tinggi atau tidak, ketika perbedaan ataupun rentang tidak begitu jauh maka pihak universitas melihat sekolah dari si murid tersebut kredibel. Berikut ini adalah salah satu oleh-oleh yang diberikan oleh beliau, dimana gelar lengkap beliau adalah Dr. Kidam, MS. Ed, salah satu materinya berikut ini:

B. Reading
The Great Wall
of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was enlisted in the World
Heritage by UNESCO in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds
up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus, stretching
approximately 6,700 kilometers (4,163 miles ) from east to west of China. With
a history of more than 2000 years, some of the sections of the great wall are
now in ruins or even entirely disappeared. However, it is still one of the most
appealing attractions all around the world owing to its architectural greatness
and historical significance.

The Sears Tower, a skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois, has been the tallest building in North America since 1973. It surpassed the World Trade Center,
which itself had surpassed the Empire State Building
only a year earlier. Commissioned by Sears, Roebuck and
Company, it was designed by chief architect Bruce Graham and structural engineer Fazlur Khan of Skidmore, Owings
and Merrill. Construction commenced in August 1970 and the building reached its originally
anticipated maximum height on May 3, 1973.
When completed, the Sears Tower
had overtaken the World Trade Center
in New York City as the world's tallest building.
The tower has 108 stories as counted by standard methods, though the building
owners count the main roof as 109 and the mechanical penthouse roof as 110. The
distance to the roof is 1,450.58 feet (442 m), measured from the east
entrance.
In February 1982, two
television antennas were added to the structure, increasing its total height to
1,707 feet (520 m). The western antenna was later extended to
1,730 feet (527 m)
on June 5, 2000
to improve reception of local NBC station WMAQ-TV.
Black bands appear on the
tower around the 29th–32nd, 64th–65th, 88th–89th, and 104th–109th floors. These
are louvers which allow ventilation for service
equipment and obscure the structure's belt
trusses which Sears Roebuck did not want to be visible as on the John Hancock Center.
On August 12, 2007,
the Burj Dubai in Dubai,
United Arab Emirates
was reported by its developers to have
surpassed the Sears Tower in all height categories.

When traveling out of town, Jakartans are increasingly worried
whether the main toll road to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport is flooded,
especially now at the height of the rainy season. It seems even a low-intensity
rainstorm is enough to flood the city, including the airport toll road,
especially when the Java
Sea is seeing a high
tide. Flooding on the Prof. Sediatmo turnpike -- the official name of the
tollway to the airport -- is becoming a regular event for Jakartans. Flooding on the Sediatmo toll road is bad, not only for Jakarta's
economy, but also for the whole country. It is bad, especially, for Visit
Indonesia Year 2008. Imagine, thousands of tourists lured by the Visit
Indonesia campaign and flying to Indonesia via Soekarno-Hatta
airport, and being greeted not by flowers but by floods. That would be a
disaster for our tourism industry because word would spread that Indonesia
is submerged and not worth visiting. Word of mouth is more powerful than any
advertising campaign.

The second paragraph mainly tell about …
- the impacts of
flooding on the toll road.
- the decline of tourism industry in Indonesia.
- the occurrence of natural disaster in Indonesia
- the effect of flooding on the toll road on tourism.
- the effect of flooding on the toll road on economy.
Once upon a time there was a stone cutter. The stone cutter lived
in a land where a life of privilege meant being powerful. Looking at his life
he decided that he was unsatisfied with the way things were and so he set out
to become the most powerful thing in the land.
Looking around his land
he wondered to himself what is it to be powerful. Looking up he saw the Sun
shining down on all the land. "The Sun must be the most powerful thing
that there is, for it shines down on all things, and all things grow from its
touch." So he became the Sun. Days
later, as he shone his power down on the inhabitants of the land, there came
a cloud which passed beneath him obstructing his brilliance. Frustrated he
realized that the Sun was not the most
powerful thing in the land, if a simple cloud could interrupt his
greatness. So he became a cloud in fact, he became the most powerful storm
that the world had ever seen. And so he blew his rain and lightning, and
resounded with thunder all over the land, demonstrating that he was the most
powerful. Until one day he came across a boulder.
Down and down he
poured and his thunder roared, lightning flashed and filled the sky, striking
the ground near the boulder. His winds blew and blew and blew, and yet,
despite all his efforts, he could not budge the boulder.
Frustrated again, he
realized that the storm was not the most powerful thing in the land; rather
it must be the boulder. So he became the boulder. For days he sat,
unmovable, and impassive, demonstrating his power, until one day, a stone
cutter came and chiseled him to bits.

Drug abuse, also known as substance abuse, involves the repeated and excessive
use of chemical substances to achieve a certain effect. These substances may be
“street” or “illicit” drugs, illegal due to their high potential for addiction
and abuse. They also may be drugs obtained with a prescription, used for
pleasure rather than for medical reasons.
Different drugs have
different effects. Some, such as cocaine or methamphetamine, may produce an
intense “rush” and initial feelings of boundless energy. Others, such as
heroin, benzodiazepines or the prescription oxycontin, may produce excessive
feelings of relaxation and calm. What most drugs have in common, though, is
overstimulation of the pleasure center of the brain. With time, the brain’s
chemistry is actually altered to the point where not having the drug becomes
extremely uncomfortable and even painful. This compelling urge to use, addiction,
becomes more and more powerful, disrupting work, relationships, and health. What makes one person abuse drugs to the point of losing their home,
their family and their job, while another does not? There is no one simple
reason. Drug abuse and addiction is due to many factors. A powerful force in
addiction is the inability to self- soothe or get relief from untreated mental
or physical pain. Without the self-resilience and support to handle stress,
loneliness or depression, drugs can be a tempting way to deal with the
situation. Unfortunately, due to the changes drugs make to the brain, it can
only take a few times or even one time to be on the road to addiction.
