Sample of the bad 1st paragraph

•

•i disagree with this statement. television is media for people to get anything around them. television help us to entertain ourself, give us more information, and everything that happened around us. watching tv help us to know what's in and what's out. we will see anything around the world and it will increase our knowledge. when we feel bored with our activities we can watching tv, at least it will help us to rest and forget our troubles. television is a good media for us to lose our stress. we can watching tv together with our family and discuss about news or program in television. some people believe that television can destroy or dangerous, but for me its depends on how we use television as good as possible. we can prevent negative effects from television by choosing a good program that deserve to watch, educate us and give us benefits. prevent the programs that contents violence. porn, and less education.

another sample of bad 1st paragraph

•I disagree with that opinion. Because I think it depends on the character of individual. We have to manage our time by allocating time to watch television just in our spare time. Television can give us many benefits. However, watching television shouldn’t let us to waste our time, or to miss our responsibility. We don’t need too much time in front of television if we want to get information about anything happen around us. We can get the information by watching the news morning or night in 0,5 - 1,5 hours. Or if we want to be entertained, we can watch movie or reality show which duration is 1-1,5 hours. It is about how we use TV as and how we control ourselves by managing our time. So, we can do our job and responsibility, we can take care our family, and we still can get the benefits of TV.

Sample of good one.

•Family is the most important influence in everyone’s life, but television is not far behind. Television has become one of the most attractive media of entertainment and information. To a certain extent, Television can reduce one’s social sense in community and can lead to more aggressive and less physical activities. Though with those obvious negative images, I still believe that Television can gives us healthy, enjoyable, and educative experiences if we know how Television can affects us and how to ward it off.

methane gas

Methane Gas

Basically, methane gas can be produced from rubbish. It was from the organic rubbish that dumped. When the dumps grow more and more, the number methane gas become larger. After the accumulation reach the limit, it will caused explosion. Now, the technology developed and we can avoid this to happen. Step by step with technology, we can conserve the organic rubbish and recycle them. The first step is put the organic compounds into the warming bed. In warming bed, this compounds will be separated and being conserved in the next step. The results, some are used for fertilizer and the others for making the methane gas. The organic compounds for making the methane passed through the dirt trap. Only gasses can pass this trap and the dirt are left in the base of the trap. After this step, the gas runs to the gas indicator where the methane gas were sterilized from the other gas (dirt). In this step, water have an important rule. By using the principal of distillation, and the differences of boiling point each gasses, the water separated the methane gas from the other. The next step is releases excess gas when the pressure is too high. This can be for preventing the explosion. Last step, is the most important step where the methane gas runs into the gas holder. Gas holder consists of some inner tubes that have function for weighting the methane gas. After all the step is finished, the methane gas that have been proceeded can be use for daily needs.
