National Exam is a test in the end of the study at junior or senior high school. This test is used to determine the students pass or not after studying three years. It always makes pro and contra. For group of pro the test, it is waited by students, teachers, headmasters and all elements of education.
However, for the contra, it just kills the students' ability. The students who learned for three years, are just justified by three or four lessons/ subjects. They are English, Mathematics, Indonesian and Science. If the marks of those lessons don't be gotten as the target, the students must not pass. They are failure. They are sad. Their parents are also shy.
In my opinion, the national exam test is not only fine but also bad. May be the readers will think I am a foolish man. I don't mind you think that. However, this is my explanation. I say national exam test is fine. It is used by government, especially Department of Education and Culture, to know the ability of the students in studying the materials when they studied at school. It is also used to mark the schools success in teaching and learning process and also to map the programs of education later in the future. It is used to enter the higher stage of education. Without it, the schools will have difficulties to check up the students' ability to enter the higher stage schools.
Beside the good opinion in national exam test, it is also bad. Because the national exam test is used to enter the higher schools and to mark the schools success in teaching and learning process, the students and the schools join to cheat. The students cheat to get good marks and they can use it to get good schools. If they don't cheat, they think they will be failure. If they don't succeed, they will be shy. Their parents are also shy. Their teachers are too.
The schools also do like their students. The teachers of the schools give the answers to their students. They want their students pass the UN exam. They need their students can get good marks. If it is done, the schools and the teachers will be said success. The schools' rank increase. The students are happy. The parents are too. The students can get good schools in the future. Do you want to make it? I hope all of the teachers, the headmasters and all elements of educations don't have the same idea as mine in bad opinion. Do you want to be said success in your life but you do it by cheating?
I hope the students can succeed in doing UN test. Please, don't cheat in your life. You will get goodness. Pray to the God everyday. Study hard to face the test. And don't forget to get pray from your parents. This is the quotation about success from Joseph Addison. If you wish success in life, make presreverance your bosom friend, experience your wise conselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius. Thanks and see you in the next success.***

START FROM A LITTLE EXERCISE
by Rusdi, S.Pd teacher of SMP Negeri 1 Jaken Pati 59184
Writing is a habit. Everyone who can read, they can write. The students must be able to read. They read the materials they study. They study many lessons. One of them is English. English in many people's opinion is difficult subject. But if you enjoy to learn, you will say English is an easy and fun lesson.
If you can speak English fluently, you will get success in job. Because at this time the company that has jobs needs persons can speak and write English fluently. Do you like to get good job in the future life? I hope you will get good job. However, one of the reasons you must be able in English well.
So, use your English dictionaries, magazines and all the things you have to improve your English ability. This issue is about writing exercise using Hello magazine. I am en English teacher in SMPN 1 Jaken Pati. I finished studying English in Semarang State University of Semarang in 2002.
In SMPN 1 Jaken Pati, I teach English in extra time. In the morning before the students study as usual, I teach English. We call it JAM KE-0. In the morning, we study English especially in speaking and writing. When I teach writing, I arrange the students and give motivation to them to write something. They write different themes every Saturday and collect to me.
Then, I read and correct them. In front of the class, we discuss the students' essays. We discuss about grammar, diction, role of writing, punctuation and so on. It is done to make the students know their mistakes and don't do the same mistakes another time. After I correct them, the students rewrite in their books. If they do it seriously, they will study many things in English. They can improve their vocabularies, enrich and use grammar in the writing correctly. This ability can be used to make other issues, poems or short stories.
If they can write poems or shorts stories, they can send to Hello Magazine to be printed. If they do it, I can give them good marks. This is my experience in teaching and learning of writing in English. Do you want to do as I do? I hope the teachers who read this issue can do as I do or more.
This is a little experience to improve our English. Use Hello magazine to learning writing. You can write a letter or poems and send to reader's forum or bulletin board. If your writing is published, your name will be famous. Your writing will be read by your friends, teachers and everyone. It is a way to actualize your ability in English writing, isn't it? You can be as Agatha Christie, JK Rowling and also Holy Ametaty in writing novels or short stories. All of them start their writing habit from studying and practising English to be famous writer. All begins from s little thing. So, the secret of success is to know something nobody else knows (Aristotle Onasis)
Please, start by simple means like Owen Feltham said. 'The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple means and the exercise of ordinary qualities. These may for the most part be summed in these two: common-sense and preseverance.(Hello, no.290, February 2010)*** (Rusdi, S.Pd, teacher of SMP Negeri 1 Jaken Pati)
