There is no SNMPTN tertulis in 2013?



There is no SNMPTN tertulis in 2013?
Ministry of Education planned to help the students to search for universities by abolish SNMPTN tertulis from the recruitment of university student in 2013. They wanted to change SNMPTN tertulis with UN (national exam) scores after they check and think that the last national exam execution (in 2012) is clear enough from any fraudulency. In 2012, Ministry of Education had tighten the regulation of national exam execution in 2012, so they optimist that the number of fraudulency had been decreased (almost clear from fraudulency) and they can use the national exam scores to change SNMPTN tertulis.
In my opinion, Ministry of Education chose the wrong choice if they choose to abolish SNMPTN tertulis, because I think SNMPTN tertulis is fairer than the other way in the recruitment of university student like SNMPTN undangan or national exam. In the other words, there are much fraudulency in SNMPTN undangan or national exam even Ministry of Education have controlled and anticipated it. For examples in SNMPTN undangan there are many schools that manipulate the student score’s so the students have more chance to accepted in that universities. Moreover, this manipulation has become a school tradition in several schools. Besides SNMPTN undangan, national exam also offers the opportunities to do some fraudulence. Almost every student knows that ‘the national exam solutions will appear before the national exams appear’, so I think there are many students that trust and use that to do their national exam. All of my statements are my own experience when I was a senior high school student. Furthermore, I have seen much fraudulency with my own eyes, and I think my generation is the victim of the unwise decision that chosen by the Ministry of Education.

People can show their respect for nature in many different ways


Show your respect for nature
Since our nature is getting worse, many people start to think about what they can give to the next generation, in the other words, people start to concern about the sustainability of the earth. There are many ways to show our respect for nature. A few people choose to respect the nature in some ‘hard’ ways, but most of people choose some simple ways.
Some people show their respect for nature in simple ways which actually all people can do this way. The several examples of this are no littering, turn off the lamp when it is not used, use refillable drinking bottle, reduce reuse recycle paper, try to not use tissues, plant some trees in home, use bicycle or just use public transportation.
However, a few people choose some ‘hard’ ways to show their respect for nature. Usually, this people very concern about the environmental changes that happening now. For example, there are a few people that become a vegetarian because they know that there is much carbon dioxide that produced when they process the meat.  Vegetables and fruit do not have to processed in long time, but meat have to. For ordinary people, it must be hard for them if they forbid themselves not to do what they usually do, but for this kind of people, they willing themselves not to eat any meat only for reduce carbon dioxide that produced every time they eat.
In my conclusion, as a good people that lived in the earth we must respect our nature. However, how we show that respects are depend on how we look at the nature, as a friend or just as a supplier of our needs.
