     Should Children Wear Hats At School?



    I believe that you should always wear a hat at school when you are playing outside , to keep from getting sunburn .
    Firstly, if you don't wear a hat, you will get sunburn and a sunburn is painful.
    Secondly, sunburn could lead to skin cancer. Sunburn can lead to health problems later in life. Many older people suffer from skin cancer which can kill them.

    In my opinion all school students should wear hats.


    Laptop as Student's Friend


    Conventionally, students need book, pen, eraser, drawing book, ruler and such other stuff. Additionally, in this multimedia era, students need more to reach their progressive development. Students need mobile keyboards to record every presented subject easily. Of course it will need more cost but it will deserve for its function.
    First, modern schools tend to apply fast transferring knowledge because the school needs to catch the target of curriculum. Every subject will tend to be given in demonstrative method. Consequently students need extra media cover the subject. Since there is a laptop on every students' desk, this method will help student to get better understanding.
    Secondly, finding an appropriate laptop is not difficult as it was. Recently there is an online shop which provides comprehensive information. The best is that the shop has service of online shopping. The students just need to brows that online shop, decide which computer or laptop they need, then complete the transaction. After that the laptop will be delivered to the students' houses. That is really easy and save time and money.
    From all of that, having mobile computer is absolutely useful for students who want to catch the best result for their study. Buying laptop online is advisable because it will cut the price. This online way is recommended since online shop also provide several laptop types. Students just need to decide which type they really need.









    If Clause / If Conditional


    "Kalau aja gue jadi seorang cewek...pasti gue udah pake rok..."


    Berarti fakta yang ada gue bukanlah cewek alias gue cowok..dan gue mencoba untuk berandai-andai jikalau gue jadi cewek..


    Nah ini yang bakal di If Conditional.


    Dalam If Clause...terdapat 3 tipe:


    Tipe I : Dimana kita berandai-andai tentang hal yang ada di masa depan atau yang akan datang..


    Contoh:
    Ani : "Tom.. tomorrow I'll held a farewell party, would you come?"
    Tom: "If it doesn't rain, I will come."


    Tom di atas menyatakan kemungkinannya untuk datang jika besok tidak hujan..
    Nah dalam tipe I ini kita gak bisa tau apa yang akan terjadi di masa yang akan datang, makanya di tipe I ini gak ada faktanya, kita gak bisa menyimpulkan apa faktanya, yang hanya bisa kita simpulkan hanyalah pengandaiannya aja..


    Tipe I ini rumus yang digunakan adalah Simple Present Tense


    Tipe II : Dimana kita berandai-andai tentang hal yang terjadi pada masa sekarang.


    Contoh:
    (fact) "I am not Syahrini, I don't kiss David Beckham"
    (if)     "if I were Syahrini, I would kiss David Becham"


    Tenses yang digunakan pada bentuk fact adalah present sedangkan perubahannya (if) ke dalam bentuk past.


    NB: dalam pengandaian (if) past, tobe yang digunakan adalah "were" untuk semua subject.


    Tipe III : Dimana kita berandai-andai tentang masa yang telah lewat, seringkali dikatakan sebagai tipe "penyesalan".


    Contoh:
    (fact) "I didn't study hard, I didn't pass the exam."
    (if)     " If I had studied hard, I would have passed the exam."


    Tenses yang digunakan pada bentuk fact adalah past sedangkan perubahannya menjadi past perfect.


    NB: ingat, jika fakta berupa kalimat positif, maka pengandaiannya berupa kalimat negatif, begitu juga sebaliknya...
