Learning English
Learning English through music and songs can be very
enjoyable. You can mix pleasure with learning when you listen to a song and
exploit the song as a means to your English progress. Some underlying reason
can be drawn to support the idea why we use songs in language learning.
Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing
in our minds of the last song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping
malls, etc) can be both enjoyable and sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also
seems to reinforce the idea that songs work on our short-and-long term memory.
Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational
language, with a lot of repetition, which is just what many learners look for
sample text. The fact that they are effective makes them many times more
motivating than other text. Although usually simple, some songs can be quite
complex syntactically, lexically and poetically, and can be analyzed in the
same way as any other literary sample.
Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their
own purpose. Most pop songs and probably many other types don’t have precise
people, place or time reference.
In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and
fun, and encourage harmony within oneself and within one group. Little wonder
they are important tools in sustaining culture, religion, patriotism and yeas,
even revolution.
Last but not least, there are many learning activities we
can do with songs such as studying grammar, practicing selective listening
comprehension, translating songs, learning vocabulary, spelling, and culture.
From the elaboration above, it can be concluded that
learning through music and songs, learning English can be enjoyable and fun

Smoking in Restaurant
Smoking in restaurants is just not on. It must not be
allowed because it is rude, harmful to others and dangerous for the smokers.
Firstly, smoking in a restaurant is impolite. The smell of
the smoke affects all people and can turn them off their food. People pay to
taste good food and not to be put off by foul smelling smoke.
Another reason smoking should not be allowed in restaurant
is the harm it can do to others. Passive smoking that is breathing in smoke
made by a smoker can lead to asthma attacks and even cancer.
Finally, smoking is dangerous and a health risk to the
smokers. Cigarettes cause heart and lung disease and people should not smoke
anywhere, not just in restaurants.

others and a health risk to the smokers and should not be allowed in any

Dust Bin
To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, a number
of dust bins should be increased.
When we look at classrooms, school corridors and school
yard, there are paper mineral water cups, straws, and napkins here and
there. The condition of uncleanliness and discomfort really hinders
learning and teaching environment. Litters thrown carelessly cause disease,
especially empty plastic cup or glasses. They can be filled out with
water coming from the rain. This can be placed for dengue mosquitoes to
spread out. Besides, these rubbish can deteriorate the scene. Well
painted wall and green school yard do not mean anything litters are scattered
everywhere.
Anyway I notice that most of the students in our school have
responsibilities for the school environment. They put their litters on the
proper places. But some are not diligent enough to find the dust
bins. The numbers of dust binds in our schools are not enough. More
dust bins should be put beside each of steps, outside of the classrooms, and
some more also the corridors. Probably one dust bin should be in every ten
meters. So when students want to throw away their litters, they can find the
dust bins easily.
When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, we do not
have problems of freak and discomfort any more. Our school will be very
clean and become a nice place to study.

dust bins?
a. They can serve janitor’s
energy
d. They make school environment neat
b. Students can throw garbage away
easily e. Students are asked to
clean them
c. They can prevent litters
12. What is the writer’s suggestion?
a. To hire more
gardeners
d. To use dustbins efficiently
b. Students are asked to give more
dustbins e. To buy more dustbins
