A Thrilling Journey

There was a family who wanted to go to a town. Unfortunately, there was no any smooth road that connect to it. The rought and narrow road should be passed by. They had tried to find a wider road but they couldn't find any. They were absolutely sure that they would face many obstacles in the journey.
When they were entering the front part of the road, they saw many boulders were littered there and it was pitted by many holes. Even the condition was very worst, the driver under-estimated the barriers and just crossed it with high speed. "A car has to be driven as a car!" said the driver although the passengers had already reminded him so many times to be careful.

Merely in a glance, the car crashed a huge boulder in front of it. The driver had already swerved to avoid it but it was too late, the car hit the boulder very hard and caused a big fissured at the car's petrol tank. "What a huge boulder it was." said the driver. The car was stopped with grinding halt and broke forever. All the passengers were very angry because not only their car were broken, but also they needed to walk fifteen more miles to their destination.

The Reasons Why Some Ninth Graders Would Like to Apply to Other Private Schools

        It has been three years learning in Gloria Christian Junior High School for me. I have got a lot of experiences and a lot of knowledge here but the most precious one for me is I have got a lot of friends which always accompany me in our busy days at school. There are also many new teachers have been known by me. As you know, teacher is teacher; none of them has the same habits or attitude especially in teaching us. Some of them are very fun and have a creative ways to teach us although in a boring subject. Some of them are very strict and discipline to us, they sometimes like to mad at us when we made even single small mistake. The others are absolutely active; which is not only for the school’s weightiness, but also in giving the students a lot of projects, home works and tasks; for instance, the one who gave us the project to interview some of the students about ‘The Reasons Why Some Ninth Graders Would Like to Apply to Other Private Schools’ and also the one who gave us a seriously vertiginous work which is making a blog full of long and complicated English articles. The text bellow is all about the survey that I have made by asking my friends for the reasons why he or she would like to apply to other private school.

Gloria Christian Junior High School is a new school that has only few nine graders, which is about approximately one hundred twenty students. Unfortunately, after three years learning in Gloria Junior High School, some of the students have decided to move to other private schools which obviously to a better school according to them. Of course, it has many reasons for that. One of the reasons is about the school’s assessments have caused them a severe headache, such as this kind of overwhelming writing.

          Some of the students are complaining about the large number of the projects and tests receiving from the teachers. Not only the quantity but also the difficulties of the test has been given made them dropping out from this school. They think that the way of the questions made is very incoherent, especially in Mathematic and physic subjects. Although they always deal with an easy tasks or exercises, the tests can kill them (especially for inadequate students). Subjects bore them since the learning system is only sitting and listening to the teacher such as the social subject and the Indonesian language subject.
          The subjects that have many activities are not always fun according to the students, for example Art subject. Art subject has many kinds of activities but most of them need the students to buy many materials, which according to the students is very inane and extravagant. The assessments given week by week in art subject also can interrupt the students very much and they think it’s just a waste of time.
          The courage teachers that always delirious in suffered the students by giving tests and projects also caused some of the students hate this school. These kind of teachers usually seemed by the students as he/she really menace the students to do it or dead.  Some of the students said that the assessments are too many as this school had ever won many championships, which actually it had won nothing.
          Not only the students are complaining, but also some of the parents are complaining about the cost of the school fee in Gloria Junior High School.  The school fee has been too expensive; in fact the school has just been built. As you know, not all of the students are capable to pay the expensive school fee.
          In addition, this school has too many rules such as each student have to wear complete and appropriate uniform (black belt, black shoes, white socks, school badges) everyday, Boys can’t lay long hair, Can’t bring hand phone to school,  can’t run in corridor, and much more. This made the students feel not free enough to study at this school.
       To sum up, every student has their own responsibility not only to achieve good scores but also to obey the school rules and respect other. The teachers should also teach the students with more passion and try to make friend with them, never let the students think that all the materials that have been given to them are the biggest burden in the world. By doing this, the stronger bond between the teachers and the students will be tied.
