Tugas Softskil 1


Pelanggaran Etika di Masyarakat


1 oktober
Pelanggaran ini saya lihat saat perjalanan pulang dari kegiatan di hari rabu ini. Dimana saya melewati beberapa lampu merah. Disaat itu saya melihat ada beberapa kendaraan bermontor yang menerobos saat lampu masi berwarna merah, entah alasan apa meraka menerobos lampu merah itu, yang menyebabkan penumpukan kendaraan yang diakibatkan oleh oknum yang tidak tertip lalu lintas.
2 Oktober
Hari ini saya tidak ada kegiatan apapun diluar rumah, siang harinya saya membeli makanan ditempat yang cukup ramai akan pembeli. Saat asik-asiknya mengantri ada bapak-bapak yang langsung datang kekasir meminta sebungkus rokok. Setelah dibayar langsung pergi keluar tanpa harus mengantri dahulu. Kejadian seperti ini sering sekali terjadi seharusnya banyak/tidaknya membeli barang harus mengantri dahulu.
3 Oktober
Hari ini saya menemukan pelanggaran lalulintas kembali, ada kendaraan yang parkir sembarangan yang sangat jelas terlihat ada palang dilarang parkiran namun masyarakat tersebut masi membandel. Etika dalam lalulintas jelas sangat merugikan masyarakat terutama pengguna jalan raya. Jalan raya akan semakin sempit akibat kendaraan-kendaraan yang parkir malang melintang dibahu jalan.
4 Oktober
Saya melihat ada pengguna motor menggunakan handphone saat berkendara sangat berbahaya. Disamping berbahaya untuk diri sendiri, juga berbahaya untuk orang lain. Karena menggunakan telepon genggam saat berkendara dapat menggunakan konsentrasi berkendara, sehingga sangat membahayakan diri sendiri orang lain.
5 Oktober
Pada saat saya akan melaksanakan shalat ied, saya melihat banyak anak muda yang tidak mengikuti shalat, malah justru sedang asyik mengobrol,bercanda, dan merokok di suatu warung di sekitar pinggiran masjid, jelas hal seperti itu sangat tidak beretika menggangu masyarakat yang sedang menjalankan solat.
6 Oktober
Pada sore hari saya melihat ada kejadian pencurian di lingkungan sekitar rumah. Kejadian itu terjadi karena  keadaan rumah kosong. Semua barang-barang berharga hilang diambil si pencuri.  Saat si pencuri diketahui oleh warga. Pencuri tersebut habis dipukul oleh masyarakat sekitar.

Reading Comprehension

There are two important elements that support each other in English Reading Comprehension, namely: Vocabulary Knowledge and Text Comprehension. If we wish to understand the text then we should be able to understand the vocabulary used in the text. It is very difficult for us to understand the readings make use English if we have the ability kosakat a very minimal.
 
Tips on how to improve reading comprehension :
1.      Pre-Reading Survey
Pre-reading survey is the first step we need to do before we read, whether it is reading books, novels or other reading. Pre-readig the survey can be done by reading page-pages in the beginning of the reading. Starting from the preface, table of contents (dafter contents), a list of abbreviations, etc.. By doing pre-reading survey we will obtain outlines the content of a book or reading what will we read.
2.      Determine the purpose of reading
Is our goal to read? What information are we looking for? What if we have a goal and know what are the information we want to get, then this will help us in reading. We will memngetahui important things what should we note in the text that we read. We can leave the text which we think is important so that we can save time in reading. In other words, if we know what our goals to read, the information we get what we want then we will be able to determine a suitable reading for we read that in accordance with our goals.
3.      Creating a note
At the moment we are reading, do not forget to make notes or mark-yard hamalan important and also the sentences that we think is important
4.      Post-reading review
S fter finished reading, we determine whether the goals achieved? Is the information we are looking for we've got? If we are not able to answer these questions, then we have to re-read that passage. Look back at the records we've made, and also the pages and sentences is important that we mark. If we still can not answer these questions, then we have to look for other sources of reading until we find the information we want.
  

Example (Reading Comprehension)

Lichens, of which more than twenty thousand species have been named, are complex associations between certain algae. The lichen itself is not an organism: rather it is the morphological and biochemical product of the association. Neither a fungus nor an alga alone can produce lichen.
The intimate relationship between these two living components of lichen was once erroneously though to represent mutualism. In mutual relationships, both participants benefit. With lichens, however, it appears the fungus actually parasitizes the algae. This is one of the conclusions drawn from experiments  in which the two components of lichens were separated
 and grown apart.
In nature, lichen fungi may encounter and grow around saveral kinds of algae. Some types of algae the fungi may kill; other types it may reject. Lichen algae are autotrophic, meaning they make their own food through photosynthesis. Lichen fungi are heterotrophic, meaning they depend upon the algae within the lichen to supply their food. Up to ninety percent of than food made by the green alga cell is transferred to the fungus. What, if anything, the fungus
contributes to the association is not well understood.

Lichens are hardly. The grow in many habitats
and are often pioneers in hostile environments
where few other organisms can flourish.
They have been known to grow endolithically, having been discovered thriving inside of rocks in Antartica. Lichen help reduce erosion by stabilizing soil. Saveral kinds of insects glue lichens to their exoskeletons for camouflage.
Many species of birds use lichens as building materials for nests. Human have used lichens for dyes and antibiotics.

A.    Simple plants made of two different autotrophic organims.
B.     A mutual association between a fungus and an alga
C.     A parasitic association between two fungi, one autotrophic, the second autotrophic
D.    A union between a parasitic fungus and an autotrophic alga
2.      The word "hardly" in line 26 is clossest in meaning to
A.     Tender
B.     Durable
C.     Armed
D.    Beneficial

A.    One organism parasitizes the other
B.     Both organism benefit from the association
C.     Both organism are harmed by the association
D.    One organism benefits while the other does not or is harmed by the association
4.       In line 7, the word "intimate" is nearest in meaning to
A.    Living

Question 6 through 10 are based on the following passage.
When buying a house, you must be sure to have it checked for termites. A termite is much like an ant in its communal habits, although physically the
two insects are distinct.
Like those ants, termite colonies consist of different classes, each with its own particular job. The most perfectly formed termites, both male and female, make up the productive class. They have eyes, hard body walls and fully developed wings. A pair of
reproductive termites founds the colony. When new
reproductive termites develop, they leave to form another colony. They use their wings only this on time and then break them off.
The worker termites are small, blind and wingless, with soft bodies. They make up the majority of the colony and do all the work. Soldiers are eyeless and wingless but are larger than the workers and have hard heads and strong jaws and legs. They
defend the colony and are cared for by the workers.
The male and female of the reproductive class remain inside a closed-in cell when the female lays thousands of eggs. The workers place the eggs in cell and care for them. Even if one colony is treated with poison, if a male and female of the reproductive
class escape, they can form a new colony.
Pest control companies can inspect a house for infestation of termites. Often, of lay person can not spot the evidence, so it is critical to have the opinion of a proffesional. Treatments vary depending upon the type of termite.
