How to be a successful writer

Everyone wants to be succesful in their study, especially for me in essay writing. I think to write an essay is not easy because many people failed on it, but I will not surrender about it. I will try to enjoy and pass it, and I believe I can do it. So, to prove it, I need to do many things to be a succesful writer. 

First, I will try to write my diary everyday. I write what I feel at that time; it is about nice things or bad things, such as problems with my friends, campus, family, the weather, etc. I can express myself on a paper. I hope by through practicing the writing, it makes me to be accustomed in writing, so I can develop my ideas to enlarge it. However, it is so hard for me because writing diary is not my habbit, but I will try it. 

Then, I will read more to add my knowledge. For example, I will read a book and news. It will be hard at first, you will feel sleepy for the first time, but you have to read two pages at least each day. After you usually read two pages, you may add five pages each day until you can read more pages everyday.

Next, I will learn about the grammar and punctuation in writing. I think it is important because these can change the meaning of the words when I am wrong in using it, but many people do not mention it. The grammar and punctuation also have many functions in writing; for example, grammar uses to build the structure of the sentence, and the punctuation uses to make a sentence become meaningful. So, I know how important the grammar and the punctuation.

In conclussion, I will try to do all that things seriously so that  I will prove that I can be succesful in essay writing by writing diary everyday, reading much, learning the grammar and punctuation. Indeed, I have to add my vocabularies which is lack to easier in choosing words for my writing.

The Controversy of Petai Consumption

Petai is one of tropic plants that grows in west Indonesia. It also grows in South Asia,  for instance Malaysia, Brunei, and Thailand. In science, it is called parkia speciosa. The characteristic of petai is that grow up to 20 meter and has many branches, and it is also  a kind of bean. In addition, It is a seasonal plant; it usually bears fruit during December-January. When petai was bearing fruit, many Indonesian people like to consume it. They cook petai to become many kind of food  such as petai fried rice, semur petai, ‘sambalado tanak’ and other kind of foods. On the other hand, some of whom do not like it because they have their opinion themselves that petai just make a bad smell, and not appropriate to kidney. However, the others argued about it; besides, it also gives many advantages for our health, primarily for our kidney. In short, petai has many advantages and disadvantages that we need to pay attention before consumpting it.

People who do not like to consume petai, of course they only know that it only produces unpleasant odors without knowing the myriad of the benefits of petai. One of its benefits is it can reduce stress. As research conducted by Institute of Psychology, Austria, found, “Pressure at work will leads people to consume the comfort food, like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found, in general, people are becoming obese due to high-pressure jobs.” You do not be worry to this problem because it can be avoided by eating petai.

The research also proved that two servings of petai are able to provide enough energy for a strenuous 90 minutes. Therefore, petai is a source of potential energy to support the various activities. The content of phosphorus on petai is also quite good, which is 115 mg per 100 g of seeds. Phosphorus is the second minerals after calcium. Approximately one percent of our body weight consists of phosphorus. DNA and RNA in our body is made up of phosphorus in the form of phosphate, as well as the cell membrane that helps maintain cell permeability.

According to my causin who likes petai, Nurul, said “Petai is a bean that has many advantages. I know it because I have read about the advantages of petai on a magazine. For example, petai has antioxidant so that it can ward free radicals around our environment that we often find in our life such as in food products, especially the spicy and grill food, and it can also calm the nerves, so we can relax after eating it.” Besides, from the article that I have from this site, www.cakrakhasiatmanfaat.com, explained, “the advantages of Petai is for improving mood, overcoming the syndrome pramenstrual, preventing anemia, reducing the risk of blood pressure, enhancing the ability of the brain, overcoming constipation, coping with worms, and it suitable for consumption by people who suffer from mag because it is smooth and can neutralize the excess acid, and it also decreases irritation to the stomach lining gives.” As a result, there are still many more benefits of petai that we do not know yet.

Then, if we look from another side, petai also has disadvantages. Like my sister’s opinion, Tina, she said “The general disadvatages resulting of petai is the bad ordor, It is the same with “Jengkol”, so I do not like it very much.” And also my friends opinion, Putri Permana, she said, “Petai is not delicious, it is bitter, and produce the bad ordor.” Moreover, in my sources, http://dhammacitta.org , it explains what the disadvantages of petai and why it can not be consumed by certain people, primarily for patient with kidney desease. It explained :

“Petai does provide some disadvatages. First, consumpting petai can affect the bad ordor so that your urine smells so foul; besides, it also makes your farts smell bad because amino acids are rich in sulfur and nitrogen that will not be converted into ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Another is the result of the amino acid content is too high in the body that can cause kidney damage. Furthermore, petai also contains jengkolik acid, that was found in jengkol. It can block the tubule urine and cause pain, haematuria and even death, if you consumed in excess.”

In conclusion, petai has two sides. These are the advantages and disadvantages. Indeed, I stand on with people who are like petai because so many advantages of it. On the other hand, the disadvatages can be minimize by eating some food that can decrease the bad smell. You should eat it at home, and you can brush your teeth after eating it. As a result, for you who want to eat petai should consider the two sides are caused by Petai. I hope it can be a consideration for you in consuming petai.

Paragraph writing experience

Welcome to essay writing! It will be a challenge for me in my third semester. As I know, writing seems like an easy to do, right? But it is not like that. It needs many processes to make my writing become perfect. For example, I need to choose what the topic first and also the grammar will be used. I also develop my ideas to be coherence to read by the reader.

I still remembered when I studied paragraph writing with mr. Saunir. My friends and I were asked to make a paragraph based on the type such as, a descriptive paragraph, contrast and comparison paragraph, cause-effect paragraph, etc in each meeting. Then, one of the students stood in front of the class to explain her paragraph, and the other students gave advices and comments on hers. I think to make a paragraph is easy; in fact, my friends and I still had many mistakes on our paragraph. The mistakes included the grammar, the ideas, and the incoherent between one paragraph to the others.

After giving advices and comments by us, many advices and comments were given by my friends. Then, we argued each others, but mr. Saunir just let it be. He ever said, “Let your opinion and your mind appear, but you need to remember not to be selfish. You also need to hear the others”.  Afterwards, at the end of the class, he gave  the truth about what we argued and explained it.

At the end of the semester, paragraph to paragraph and essay to essay which we made have done. It must be press like a book, then it was handed to him to be assessed. And guess what did I get on my paragraph writing? I got a B. I am really grateful for it, I hope in essay writing I can improve my ability and get the highest score. Amin.
