The Pros and Cons of School Uniform School uniforms are dress codes that are determined by the teaching institutions and students has to follow the designed code obediently everyday. Many people believe that school uniforms should be applied but the others don‟t. Uniforms have various advantages for both the family and the child. A united school apparel can relief a financial stress of the backs of many families. As kids tend to compete and imitate each other, the race of following new trends in fashion or, providing different attire for every school day is considered a financial burden, not every family can afford it. Additionally, a uniform creates a sense of equality between all pupils. Young kids tend to judge others according to their look and what they wear. Uniting their school attire will draw their attention to other criteria and, the only advantage of one student over another would be personality, academic achievement or being good at sports. On the other hand, as repetition can lead to boredom, children can get frustrated of wearing same thing to school every day. Also, prevent their first steps of individuality by taking away their right to choose what to wear on their own free well. In conclusion, I believe uniforms aren‟t meant to suppress the creativity or freedom of children. It helps redirecting kids‟ creativity towards more important things than outer look, and waive financial burden of their families. Note This example of discussion text about the pros and cons of school uniform is adapted from 2. “The Advantage and Disadvantage of the Internet” Computer, tablet, mobile phone, and other devices connected to Internet have been the most outstanding innovation in the history of mankind.

Berikut adalah contoh Discussion text / example of discussion text Convenience or Care? When something issued by someone, we say it has been consumed. We as consumers use many things, both natural and processed. We consume more of the Earth‟s resources than other animals do and, as a result, we cause problems for the environment. Like all animals, we need clean air and water, food and shelter for survival. Unlike other animals, however, we have certain “want”. These are items that are not necessary for our survival, but that we want because they make our lives easier or more enjoyable. Environments claims that a great deal of waste is created by both the production and the consumption of these items or product. Disposable products, such a pens, take away food containers, plates, shavers and cutlery, are made using the Earth‟s resources. When these products are thrown away, the resources are lost. Another example of waste is the unnecessary packaging on many products. The material is often not recycled and used again. Throwing thing away also increases pollution. The amount of disposable plastic litter that ends up in waterways is a serious problem. When this waste reaches the oceans, it can kill marine life. Industrialist counter these arguments with their own point of view. They claim that consumer‟s expect to be able to purchase food which is attractively presented, prepackaged to extent its life and easy to store. In a busy society, convenience is a priority. Products which make life easier, era in demand. Industrialist argue that they cater to this perceived need. Packaging is also big business and provides jobs for many people who might otherwise be unemployed and a burden to society. Environmentalist declare that for thousands of year, people survived perfectly well with reusable products. However, people of the twenty-first century have become used to wing in a „thrown-away‟ society. It is up to each one of us to dispose of waste products carefully, recycle as much as possible and to reduce the stress on our environment. Think when buying pre-packaged goods and consider whether the same products can be bought without the extra wrappings. Let‟s make the best of what we have. contoh 2 Increase in the Prices of Fuels Discussion is a text which present a problematic discourse. This problem will be discussed from different viewpoints.

Besides we are free to set the work schedule. Having home office will save money as we need not to purchase or lease of office space from rent companies.

It is reliable. On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried for many years to allow the radioactivity to die away. Furthermore, although it is reliable, a lot of money has to be spent on safety because if it does go wrong, a nuclear accident ca be a major accident.

DISCUSSION TEXT ABOUT HANDPHONE Do Teenagers Really Need a Mobile Phone? Nowadays, mobile phones are becoming an extremely popular electronic for people. They are also becoming more technologically sophisticated; most can take and share pictures and videos and connect to the Internet for web surfing. Many teenagers are becoming cell phone owners, however. It’s debatable whether a teenager actually needs a mobile phone, but mostly they will say that a phone was essential to their happiness and social standing. Without a mobile phone, the average teenager is unable to function–they can’t talk to their friends and life just isn’t worth living. But before you give in and rush off to buy your petulant teenager a brand new iPhone, read the following list. One of the reasons of letting a teenager have a mobile phone is because one way of making a teenager do exactly what you want is by using a combination between bribery and blackmail. They will do what you want easily if you offer to put more data on their mobile phone. Second reason is that mobile phone can also be an excellent way of staying in touch with a teenager when they are away from home. Third, many cell phones enable the teenager to access internet. By using this feature, teenagers can obtain answers to questions very quickly and easily. The last, if a teenager has a mobile phone, they can use it to call for help in a sticky situation for some reason. In such condition, having a cell phone handy could be a lifesaver. In spite of having some advantages, letting teenagers have a mobile phone has also some disadvantages. First, cheating can be done more easily by using mobile phone since students can search or text the answers under their desks during tests. Second, mobile phones can be very distracting from some important activities in a child’s life such as studying, doing homework, or even crossing the street. Third, sexual content which can be accessed easily is also an issue for parents to consider before giving a mobile phone for their child. Everything must have its good and bad effect, and mobile phone must too. We need to be wise to use such a sophisticated technology in our lives. As parents, we can set guidelines for our children on when they are able to use their cell phones or give a suitable phone for their age so that we can get more advantages from purchasing a mobile phone for our children. KEY 1. 2. 3. 4. Issue Argument For Ellaboration Conclusion 1 2 3 4 Apakah Remaja Benar-benar Membutuhkan Telepon Mobile ? Saat ini, ponsel menjadi sebuah alat elektronik sangat populer bagi orang-orang. Mereka juga semakin canggih secara tehnologi; Kebanyakan dapat mengambil dan berbagi foto dan video dan terhubung ke Internet untuk berselancar di web. Namun, banyak remaja menjadi pemilik ponsel. Patut diperdebatkan apakah remaja benar-benar membutuhkan ponsel, tetapi kebanyakan mereka akan mengatakan bahwa ponsel sangat penting untuk kebahagiaan mereka dan image sosial. Tanpa ponsel, remaja rata-rata tidak dapat mengaktualisasi diri mereka –tidak dapat berbicara dengan teman-teman mereka dan kehidupanmenjadi tidak berharga. Tapi sebelum Anda memberikannya dan sibuk membelikan remaja yang merajuk pada anda meminta merek iPhone baru, bacalah penjelasan berikut. Salah satu alasan membiarkan remaja memiliki ponsel ini karena salah satu cara untuk membuat remaja melakukan apa yang Anda inginkan adalah dengan menggunakan kombinasi antara suap dan pemerasan. Mereka akan melakukan apa yang Anda inginkan dengan mudah jika Anda menawarkan untuk memberikan lebih banyak data pada ponsel mereka. Alasan kedua adalah bahwa ponsel juga dapat menjadi cara yang sangat baik untuk tetap berhubungan dengan seorang remaja ketika mereka berada jauh dari rumah. Ketiga, banyak ponsel memungkinkan remaja untuk mengakses internet. Dengan menggunakan fitur ini, remaja dapat memperoleh jawaban dari soal-soal dengan sangat cepat dan mudah. Yang terakhir, jika remaja memiliki ponsel, mereka bisa menggunakannya untuk meminta bantuan dalam situasi yang sulit untuk beberapa alasan. Dalam kondisi seperti itu, memiliki ponsel berguna bisa menjadi penyelamat. Meskipun memiliki beberapa keuntungan, membiarkan remaja memiliki ponsel juga memiliki beberapa kelemahan. Pertama, kecurangan dapat dilakukan dengan lebih mudah menggunakan ponsel karena siswa dapat mencari atau mengirimkan jawaban mereka menggunakan hanphone di bawah meja mereka selama tes. Kedua, ponsel bisa sangat mengganggu beberapa kegiatan penting dalam kehidupan seorang anak seperti belajar, mengerjakan PR, atau bahkan menyeberang jalan. Ketiga, konten seksual yang dapat diakses dengan mudah juga menjadi masalah bagi orang tua untuk dipertimbangkan sebelum memberikan ponsel untuk anak mereka. Semuanya pasti memiliki efek baik dan buruk, dan ponsel pun juga. Kita harus bijaksana untuk menggunakan teknologi secanggih itu dalam hidup kita. Sebagai orang tua, kita dapat mengatur pedoman untuk anak-anak kita pada saat mereka menggunakan ponsel mereka atau memberikan ponsel yang cocok untuk usia mereka sehingga kita bisa mendapatkan lebih banyak keuntungan dari pembelian ponsel untuk anak-anak kita.

We use different language vocabulary, phrases and phrasal verbs when we’re speaking on the phone from the language we speak when we’re face-to-face with someone. There are English phrases for speaking on the phone like to be breaking up’ to hang up’ or to be put on hold,’ that we wouldn’t use in any other context. Why Is Important to Know How To Speak on The Phone in English Knowing how to speak on the phone in English is important for multiple reasons. The most important reason is to sound professional and polite on a phone call. The second most important reason is to understand other people when you speak to them on the phone. There’s bound to be a time when you will need to speak English on the phone. Follow our tips, learn some useful phrases for phone conversations and practice speaking on the phone so you can feel confident the next time you speak to someone on the phone in English. How to Talk on The Phone in English Using English Phrases There are plenty of set phrases that you can learn to speak English over the phone. The context of the phone call will determine the type of language you use. For example, the phrases you use with your friends will be very different from the phrases you use with your boss or in a professional setting. Fortunately, there are English phrases for every type of conversation. Best Telephone English Phrases These are the best telephone English phrases you must know if you’re going to make a phone call in English. We suggest practicing these phrases over and over again. Practice makes perfect. Luckily, phone conversation phrases are easy to practice and reuse in most contexts. How To Answer The Phone In English The first step when making a phone call or answering a phone call is to use an appropriate greeting in English. “Hello. Mary speaking. How can I help you?” “Good morning/good afternoon/good evening. This is Michelle. How can I help you?” “Hello. You’ve reached English-Everyday. How may I help you?” How To Introduce Yourself On The Phone Introducing yourself over the phone is different from introducing yourself in person. In person, we would say hello, I am Jessica,’ however, we use different introductory phrases over the phone. We don’t need to introduce ourselves; we need to identify ourselves. So I am’ changes to it is…’ or this is…’ “Hello. This is Sarah.” “Hi. It’s Mark.” If it’s a very formal introduction then you could say “Hello. My name is Paul.” Or if you’re phoning someone for another person say “Hello. I’m phoning on behalf of Mrs Miller. This is Sally.” How To Ask For Someone’s Name If the person phoning you doesn’t give you a name right away then you can ask for their name by saying “Hi, this is Jim. May I ask who’s calling?” “Hello. May I know who this is?” “Hello. This is Mike. Could you please tell me who this is?” “Hello. Could you please tell me who is calling?” “Hi, this is Harry. Could you please tell me who’s speaking?” It’s important to use polite modal verbs when asking questions like this on the phone. Asking someone who is this?’ or who is calling?’ can come across as rude or impatient. How To Tell Someone Why You Are Calling If we are making the phone call then we need to tell the person on the other side of the line why we are calling. “Could I please speak to Steve?” “I’m calling for John. Is he available?” “I would like to speak with David. Is he in?” “Could I please speak with whoever deals with the accounts?” “May I speak to Johnathan.” “I’m calling to find out about…” How To Put Someone On Hold There are times when we need to ask the person on the phone to wait while we forward them through to someone else or look for information. “Please hold.” “Would you mind holding for a minute while I check?” “I’ll forward you through. Please hold on.” “Please wait while I put you through.” “One moment please.” How To Transfer Someone If you need to put someone through to someone else on the phone in English then you can say “I’ll put you through.” “One moment. Please stay on the line.” “Let me see if he’s available and, if he is, I’ll put you through.” “Thank you for holding. He’s available. I’ll forward you on.” “Please hold the line while I transfer you.” “OK. Let me connect you.” How To Answer The Phone After Putting Someone On Hold And once we have finished our task and want to return to the person on the phone we can say “Thank you for holding.” “Thank you for your patience.” “Thank you for waiting.” How To Tell Someone The Person Is Not Available In some cases, the person the caller wants to speak to won’t be available. Perhaps they’re in a meeting, out of the office or otherwise engaged. “I’m afraid he’s not in at the moment. May I take a message?” “Unfortunately he’s on another call again. Shall I get him to call you back?” “I’m sorry. He isn’t available at the moment. He shouldn’t be long. Would you like to hold or call back later?” “Sorry, he’s otherwise engaged right now. Would you like to leave a message?” How To Leave A Message For Someone You can choose whether you would like to leave a message or call back later. “Could you please tell him Ryan called? My number is…” “No thanks. I’ll call back later.” “Thanks for your help. I’ll send him an email.” “It’s his mom. Could you ask him to ring me when he gets the chance?” “Just tell him that Matthew is free all day tomorrow for a meeting. Please get him to call me to confirm a time.” How To Ask Someone To Repeat Themselves The connection when we speak to someone on the phone can get interrupted. When this happens, don’t be afraid to ask the other person to repeat themselves - just do it politely. “Sorry, you’re breaking up a bit. Could you please say that again?” “I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Please say it again.” “Could you spell that for me please?” “Could you repeat that please?” “Could you speak a little louder please?” “The line is very bad. Could I call you back?” What is English Everyday English-Everyday is an English course with live lessons for English learners who want to improve their English with native speakers, professional teachers, and students from around the world.

You should start with a formal greeting like Hello. Good morning/good afternoon/good evening. Company name hello. Then introduce yourself It’s _____ This is ______ My name is ______ And then move on to the reason you called I’d like to speak to ______ I’m calling to find out about ______ I’m just calling to ask about _______ Sample Phone Conversation in English Person 1 “Kris Amerikos. Hello. How can I help you?” Person 2 “Good morning. My name is Rebecca. I’d like to speak to Mr Smith.” Person 1 “One moment please. I’ll see if he’s available.” Person 1 “Sorry to keep you waiting.” Person 2 “That’s fine.” Person 1 “He’s available. Please hold the line while I put you through.” Person 2 “Great. Thank you so much.” Person 1 “Hello. This is Natalie.” Person 2 “Hello Natalie. Could I please speak to Philip?” Person 1 “Sure. May I ask who is calling?” Person 2 “Tell him it’s Paul from work.” Person 1 “OK. Please hold...here he is.” Person 2 “Thank you.” Person 1 “Hello. This is Claire. How may I assist you?” Person 2 “Hi. It’s Samantha. Is Harry available?” Person 1 “I’m afraid not. Could I take a message and have him call you back?” Person 2 “Sure. Please tell him Samantha called.” Person 1 “OK. I will. What’s your number?” Person 2 “It’s 00 7783225” Person 1 “Great. I’ll get him to call you.” Person 2 “Thank you so much. Bye.’ Person 1 “Have a great day!” Conversation Between Two Friends in English on The Phone As with every situation in English, when you’re speaking with your friends you don’t need to be formal. There is no need to introduce yourselves because you’ll know who the person is either by the sound of their voice or because you have their number saved in your phone already. The conversation will move quite quickly from greetings into the reason for the call without as much polite language as a formal phone conversation. Person 1 “Hey man. How’s it going?” Person 2 “Hey, hey. It’s going good. How are things with you?” Person 1 “Yeah, they’re good. Do you have a minute?” Person 2 “Sure. What’s up?” Person 1 “I just wanted to what you’re up to tonight? We’re going to dinner and thought you might like to join.” Person 2 “Sounds good. Text me the restaurant and I’ll meet you there.” Person 1 “Cool. We’re going around 7.” Person 2 “Great. See you then.” Person 1 “Cheers.” Official Conversation in English on The Phone An official phone conversation can be daunting - even for native English speakers. The best advice you should listen to is to practice phrases for official conversations in English on the phone. The more you practice the phrases, the easier the phone call will be for you to make. Keep your language formal at all times. Use formal greetings like hello’ and good morning/good afternoon/good evening,’ use modal verbs to form polite questions like could I please speak to…?’ May I speak to…?’ Would you be able to help me?’ and always say please,’ and thank you.’ It’s also important to end the call well. If someone has helped you then say thank you so much for your help. Have a great day.’ Office Phone Conversation in English If you’re working in an office then your phone conversations must be professional. Phone conversations at the office should be as formal as official phone conversations. We can use the same phrases as we would during an official phone conversation in English. The phone call usually begins with the receptionist answering the call with hello’ and the company name. We also usually say things like please hold,’ would you mind waiting a moment?’ one moment please,’ and please hold while I transfer you through,’ when we want to forward the call onto someone else. We’re more likely to take a message for someone at the office than we are in other situations. Additional phrases like may I take a message?’ would you like me to get her to call you?’ would you like to hold or call back later?’ and shall I tell her you called?’ form part of office phone conversations. Formal Phone Conversation in English The language that we use during a formal phone conversation in English is different from the language that we use when speaking face-to-face. Phone conversations in English are quite formal - especially when we’re speaking to someone on a professional basis or when we phone a company for assistance. Rules for formal phone conversations in English Always introduce yourself formally; Always say please and thank you whenever you make a request; Always use modal verbs and indirect questions may I...could I...Would you mind....Could I please… And remember, when you’re speaking to someone on the phone, don’t be afraid to ask them to repeat themselves, but don’t say what?’ Instead, say something like I didn’t hear that. Sorry. Would you mind repeating it?’ If you feel overwhelmed, tell the other person that you’re not very good at English and say sorry, my English is not very good. Would you mind slowing down a bit?’ Finally, master these phrases and practice making phone calls to improve your spoken English and build your confidence when speaking English.

For students, the internet also has its own positive and negative impacts. Seeing from the positive impact, through the internet students can get a lot of knowledge that can be learned. Most of today's schoolwork can indeed be done only by relying on the internet. It can no longer be denied. But what students should pay attention to is to use it in a wiser way. Behind that, the internet can also have a negative impact on students for example pornographic content. Various pornographic sites are also increasingly easy to find on the internet. The impact of these sites will not only affect adult internet users, but also among students. Because the site is thought to be visited by many students who are on average underage. Therefore, there is an appeal for all parties to resolve the problem. Especially for parents and teachers to work together to prevent the negative impacts that can be triggered by the internet. For example, by supervising their students in choosing quality internet content. The role of parents is also very important, because parents always supervise their children at home. Parents can also provide understanding to children regarding the impact given by the internet so that children can sort out important and unimportant information there. Example of a discussion text about technology Pros and Cons of Gadgets for Kids The rapid development of information and communication technology has naturally given birth to a variety of information and communication technology equipment that is now used by almost everyone in all field. No exception for children. Yes, whether or not children need gadgets is still a debate until now. Those who think that gadgets are needed by children on the grounds that children need to be introduced to today's technology. They consider that introducing children to the latest technology is important given the rapid development of technology. Not only that, they also assume that gadgets can make children smarter because various applications that can support children's learning are in the gadget. Meanwhile, those who think that children don't need to have gadgets on the grounds that gadgets can have a labor impact on the child's mental growth and development. The presence of this gadget also makes children seem to be immersed in their world and fail to socialize with their friends at school and around them. They also think that gadgets are the reason why children are late to speak. Given that gadgets have now become part of a lifestyle and there are negative impacts, parents really need to limit their children's use of gadgets. There are several ways to limit the use of gadgets in children, according to experts, such as keeping gadgets, television, and the internet away from children's rooms; monitor the pages or applications accessed by children; as much as possible do not give gadgets to children when the child cries or throws a tantrum; and use logical reasons when limiting the use of gadgets in children. Sample Discussion Text About Drugs Pros and Cons of Marijuana or Marijuana as Drugs Last year, we were surprised by the arrest of Fidelis Arie Sudewarto by BNN officers Sanggau Regency because it is known that it has intentionally planted 39 marijuana trees tree. According to Fidelis, he deliberately planted marijuana to treat his wife who was suffering from syringomyelia disease or fluid-filled cysts or syrinx that grow in the bone marrow back. Various attempts at treatment that he had done were also fruitless. Then he also received information and literature from outside which stated that cannabis extracts could be used used in the treatment of syringomyelia, which his wife was suffering from since 2013. Unfortunately, his wife died 32 days after Fidelis was arrested by BNN. The pros and cons finally emerged in connection with the use of marijuana as a treatment. From various literatures, it is stated that the use of marijuana as a treatment has actually been done by humans for at least 3000 years. Several studies have also shown that marijuana can be used for treatment including pain relief, relieves stress, helps people who are addicted to alcohol, is effective in dealing with nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy, and is also effective treat epilepsy. Meanwhile, those who do not agree with marijuana being used for medical treatment think that marijuana is very dangerous. This is based on the results of several studies that illustrate if marijuana can trigger mental health problems, testicular cancer, and impaired breathing. From the results of several studies that have been carried out by experts, it also shows that marijuana can provide benefits and also bad for health. Although marijuana can provide health benefits, this does not necessarily legalize the use of marijuana for health used as a drug, especially in Indonesia because marijuana is included in narcotics which its use has been prohibited by law Act. Therefore, further research is needed to examine the impact of using marijuana as a drug so that an incident like what Fidelis experienced will not be repeated. Sample Discussion Text About Health Tea Drinking Habits, Good or Bad for Health? ISSUE Not much different from coffee, the habit of drinking tea has been done long ago. Even become part of the tradition. Usually tea is served when there is a guest visit, meeting, or part of breakfast and relax in the evening. Tea was introduced 5000 years ago that this drink is efficacious to increase immunity. The tea plant is native to Southeast Asia. The distinctive aroma and taste make this drink very popular with all groups of people. Although there are many benefits of drinking tea, the habit of consuming tea in excess can cause harm. SUPPORTING ARGUMENTS There are several active ingredients in tea that make it beneficial for health, such as polyphenols 10-25% which function as antioxidants for prevent the development of cancer cells, vitamin C 150-250 mg% and vitamin E 25-70 mg% which can help to strengthen the immune system and maintain health heart, -carotene 13-20%, caffeine 45-50 mg%, and fluorine mg/L which helps in preventing the growth of caries in teeth and strengthens teeth. tooth. ARGUMENT REJECT But behind the many benefits, the habit of drinking tea that is not natural has an influence that is not good for health. Because the caffeine in tea can cause the absorption of food to be hampered. In addition, caffeine has dependence properties so that the body will feel unfit if you do not consume it. Now in breastfeeding mothers, caffeine affects the breast milk glands, thus inhibiting the smoothness and availability of breast milk. Caffeine in infants this substance can cause the baby's intestines to spasm. The mineral content in tea also has a tendency to help the formation of kidney stones. CONCLUSION If you want to consume healthy tea, it is recommended to consume 5 cups of 200 ml per day. Because this amount is still the normal limit for caffeine levels that can be consumed, which is the equivalent of 750 mg/day. Try to also brew tea with not too much water and no added sugar to prevent damage to the substances contained and the loss of the benefits of tea. In daily habits, avoid drinking tea on an empty stomach because it can increase the production of stomach acid so that it affects digestion. Example of a discussion text about the environment Pros and Cons of PLTSa In Presidential Regulation Number 35 of 2018 regarding the Acceleration of Construction of Waste Processing Installations into Friendly Technology-Based Electrical Energy Environment, what is meant by PLTSa or Waste-Based Power Plant is the process of processing waste into electrical energy based on environmentally friendly technology that has met the quality standards in accordance with the provisions of the legislation and can reduce the volume of waste significantly and tested. The construction of this PLTSa is the government's effort in managing waste into an energy source, to improve the quality of the environment and also increase the role of national electricity on a new energy basis as well as renewable. Not only that, processing waste into electricity is also used as an effort by the state to reduce carbon emissions as agreed at the Paris Conference COP21 at the end of the year 2015. However, the government's efforts to reduce the volume of waste, carbon emissions, and use The amount of energy generated from the waste processing process through this PLTSa does not run smoothly smooth. Until now this has been the pros and cons in the community. They assume that overall PLTsa can endanger the environment and human life. This is because PLTSa uses incinerators which can exacerbate air pollution and produce toxic substances in the form of dioxins that can harm the nervous system and cause cancer. Not only that, other things that are also taken into consideration for the development of PLTSa in Indonesia are that there is no ready land, waste master plans, procedures non-transparent auction policies & mechanisms, high development costs & tipping fees, and bad experiences in other countries. It can be concluded that the PLTSa development is a government effort to reduce the volume of waste, carbon emissions, as well as utilizing the resulting energy into electrical energy gets rejection from several elements Public. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a more in-depth study related to the development of PLTSa in the country Indonesia remembers that not all countries have succeeded in using PLTSa as an energy source electricity. Example of a Discussion Text About Sports Zumba Zumba is one type of exercise that has been proven to burn more calories than standard cardio such as aerobics, jogging, and yoga. The reason for this high calorie burning process is because there is a lot of fluctuation between low and high intensity movements. Exercising Zumba for a long time can cause a high heart rate and increase heart strength. But unfortunately, this Zumba also involves a lot of jumping and other high-impact movements that will make it difficult for the joints. Such as twisting involve in some movements that can put pressure on the knee. Sample Discussion Text About Garbage Pros and Cons of Plastic Waste Recycling The presence of this plastic waste is indeed a very disturbing thing, this is because this type of waste is very difficult to decompose in the soil. There are also many environmental activists who have promoted plastic waste for recycling. The benefits of recycling the resulting waste are also very profitable. Recycling is very good for the environment because it can reduce waste that pollutes landfills and incinerators. The recycling process can also contribute to the growth of creative jobs in the economy. But unfortunately, the process of recycling waste causes losses. Because it can cause pollution, especially for recycling electronic waste. Much of the electronic goods shipped overseas go to less developed countries and are sorted. During the sorting process, metals and other chemicals can leach into the soil and water where recycling takes place, which can have a negative impact on the environment and its inhabitants. Sample Discussion Text About Corona The Danger of Covid-19 for the Elderly & Young Generation Covid-19 is a disease caused by the corona virus. The virus can spread quickly through fluids released by the sufferer either through mucus from the nose or saliva. This disease is very dangerous, especially for the elderly. This virus is known to be able to attack the lungs quickly for elderly people. This is due to the vulnerability of the immune system in the elderly. When this virus is successful in paralyzing the lungs, the sufferer has a small chance of recovering. We can see this from the statistical data on the number of WHO victims. According to data compiled by WHO, as many as 8 out of 10 people died from this virus in patients 65 years and over. So we can conclude that COVID-19 is very dangerous, especially for the elderly. But that does not mean that this one virus is also harmless for young people. In fact there are some people who are still relatively young but also did not manage to recover. In New York City there is a young man aged 15 who died due to Covid-19. The case was also reported in the New York Times with the content of the WHO warning regarding the dangers of the corona virus in youth. The news stated that COVID-19 is also very dangerous for young people, especially for children who are known to already have a history of illness or poor health. For example, congenital diseases born to obesity.
