UJIAN NASIANAL 2012
UN 2012 akan segera di laksanakan bagi siswa-siswi SMA di seluruh
Indonesia. Ujian Nasional yang pada tahun sebelumnya di adakan pada
bulan April atau Mei itu kini telah dekat. Sayangny,
belum diketahui pasti tanggal pelaksanaanya.
Soal UN 2012 dan pembahasannya adalah salah satu bentuk persiapan
yang dapat dilakukan oleh para siswa. Selain mengikuti program kelas
tambahan yang diadakan oleh sekolah secara mandiri, siswa juga memiliki
metode khusus dalam meningkatkan kemampuannya menjawab soal-soal UN.
Satu diantaranya adalah mengikuti kegiatan bimbingan belajar yang kini
marak di kota-kota besar. Bimbingan belajar juga menjadi alternatif yang
lumayan bagus, selain karena mereka memiliki metode tersendiri dalam
menyelesaikan soal-soal UN 2012, jadwal belajar pun dapat disesuaikan
dengan waktu lowong yang dimiliki siswa.
Salah satu metode belajar yang juga baik adalah dengan mendownload
Soal UN 2012.
Dengan membahas soal UN pada tahun yang telah lalu, siswa dapat belajar
sesuai dengJangan lupa, bahwa kriteria kelulusan tahun ini masih mengacu pada
keputusan pemerintah tahun lalu yang masih memberikan prosentase 40%
untuk mata ujian sekolah. Jadi 60% dari total nilai ujian nasional pada 6
mata pelajaran masih harus ditambah dengan 40% nilai ujian sekolah,
kemudian dihitung nilainya. Jika lebih dari nilai rata-rata, maka kamu
sekalian bisa lulus.

Birds

covered bodies. Next to the animals, birds are the most important
group of land-living vertebrates. All birds have feathers, although
in some types, particularly those that cannot fly, the normal
structure of the feathers may be much modified and be downy, woolly,
or straw like. The forelimbs of birds are modified into wings. The
bony part of the tail, except in the very earliest fossil birds is
very short, and the visible tail is composed of feathers only. The
teeth are absent except in some fossil forms. As in mammals the only
other group of warm-blooded animal , the circulation is highly
perfected so that there is no mixing of arterial and venous blood,
but the arrangement of veins and arteries by which this is
accomplished different in the two groups. Birds have keen hearing,

“Bisa
Saja” is choosen as the first single of the
album and theme song of BROWNIES, since the lyric reflects the story
in the movie. Budjana of GIGI demonstrates his skills in playing
acoustic guitar in “ Cinta Terakhir “. Three other brand new song
“Dilema”, “Jangan
Bilang Pacarku” and “ Semua
Orang Berhak Mendapat Rasa Bahagia”, gives
supporting nuances to the movie flow as GIGI composed them by
imagining how the scenes would like look based on the screenplay.
When
Hanung Bramantyo, the director, and Dewa Budjana of GIGI chated,
Budjana expressed his interest in making soundtrack album. Then, he
recommended a few of GIGI songs, which the producer accepted because
of the chemistry they created with the movie. Since GIGI can provide
a variety of colors to add all kinds of musical nuances to enrich the
movie, the producer deemed it unnecessary to find other musicians to
complete OST of BROWNIES. Armand Maulana (vocalist), I Gede Dewa
Budjana (guitarist), Thomas Ramdhan (Bass player) , and Gusti Erhandy
(Drum-stand-in player for Budhi haryono) put a lot of effort to this
album. As a result, they’ve created perfect blend of movie and
songs that makes BROWNIES tastier.
It’s
always fun to have a piece of Brownies in your mouth. But having it
in your stereo set is more entertaining. No movie is perfect without
musical score and OST of Brownies proved it excellent.

Is Smoking
Good For Us?
Before we
smoke, it is better to look at the fact of smoking effects, not only
for smokers but also for non smokers. About 50 thousands people die
every year in Britain as the direct result of smoking. This is the
seven times as many as deaths in road accidents. Nearly a quarter of
smokers die because of diseases caused by smoking.

percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five
cigarettes a day, we are six times more likely to die of lung cancer
than a non- smoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is
nineteen times greater. Ninety five percent of people who suffer from
bronchitis are people who smoke. Smokers are two and half times more
likely to die of heart disease than non- smokers.
Additionally,
children of smokers are more likely to develop bronchitis and
pneumonia. In one hour in a smoky room, a non-smoker breathes as much
as substance causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen cigarettes.

During the
twentieth century the world has witnessed the inventions of many
amazing things. Television is a great invention, but there are

twentieth century
Television
was invented in the1920s and first came to Australia in 1956. It has

world because of television. For these reasons I feel that television
could be considered the best invention of the twentieth century.
On the
other hand, there are other inventions that could be considered
better than television. Some might argue that computer should be
awarded the distinction of being the best invention because computer
has made life easier. Others might argue that medical inventions such
as heart pacemakers are best inventions because they help to save
live.
It can be
seen that there are reasons for and against television being
considered the best invention of the twentieth century. After looking

Facsimile,
often called fax, is a way of transmitting texts and pictures over
telephone lines. News services often use facsimile to send news,
stories and photographs to newspaper and television stations. Banks,

To send a document, the user inserts it into the machine and dials
the telephone number of the receiving fax machine. After the
connection is made, an electronic scanner on the transmitting machine
moves across the page and converts the image into a set of electric
signals. These signals travel over the telephone line to the
receiving fax machine. Then machine converts the electric signals
back into an image of the original document and then prints a copy.
Some
business people use small desktop fax machines or portable models at
home or when they travel. A personal computer can also be used to
send and receive documents if it is equipped with a special
electronic circuit board called a fax board
