TULISAN

"There is a friend you get pregnant outside of marriage, her parents do not agree. Boyfriend does not want the responsibility and then the woman tried to commit suicide." How suggestions and solutions to the woman?

My suggestions and solutions :

As a friend, I had to hold him to not commit suicide, and tried to calm down his back until the situation improves. After that, I advised my friend not to try to commit suicide. it is a sin forbidden by God. Because by committing suicide, he had to eliminate two lives is yourself and child in the womb. My advice to my friend, let the unborn child who is growing up to the time of childbirth however despairingly. After the child is born, if indeed he did not want to take care of him. And from a family of women and men do not want to admit it, the child can be left at the orphanage. Rather than be killed and will add sin.

PRESTASI MASA SEKOLAH

Pada masa-masa sekolah, saya mengikuti kegiatan Ekstrakulikuler berawal dari saya masuk pendidikan di SMP. Saya mengikuti eskul Paduan Suara, tujuannya  karena menurut saya mengikuti kegiatan eskul ini sangat mengasyikan dan dapat melepas penat dengan bernyanyi. di kegiatan eskul ini saya banyak belajar mengenai dasar-dasar nada, intonasi nada, aktikulasi, sampai dengan saat dimana suara kita harus rendah dan tinggi. Selain itu saya menjadi lebih banyak pengetahuan dan banyak teman. Dikegitan eskul ini kita berlatih menyanyi dan kita sering dipakai untuk menjadi paduan suara saat upacara hari senin. dengan perkembangan yang semakin bagus, akhirrnya kita dipilih dan ikut lomba paduan suara antar kecamatan. Ya walaupun akhirannya paduan suara kita tidak mendapatkan juara tetapi kita bangga karena sudah bisa ikut lomba tersebut. Dan paduan suara kita juga sering diundang di Kecamatan  dalam tiap acara resmi misalnya saat perayaan 17 Agustus, Sumpah Pemuda, dsb.

Selain itu saya mengikuti kegiatan Eskul English Club di SMP. Dimana dari kegiatan ini saya belajar berdialog, bernyanyi, dengan menggunakan bahasa inggris. awalnya saya ragu mengikuti eskul ini karena saya sangat tidak mengerti dan menguasai bahasa inggris tetapi saya tertarik mengikutinya karena banyak teman saya yang juga ikut eskul tersebut. Dari hasil eskul English Club ini, diminta untuk mengisi acara Pentas Seni di SMP saya. Yaitu dengan mengisi acara Drama menggunakan bahasa inggris. Dan saya senang karena saya terpilih sebagai tokoh dalam drama tersebut. Ya walaupun dialognya tidak banyak hehe.

Awal masuk SMK, saya melanjutkan kegiatan Eskul paduan suara. tetapi eskul ini tidak berlangsung secara lama dengan kekurangannya fasilitas di sekolah saya. dan akhirnya saya mengikuti kegiatan eskul Teater. Sebenarnya saya kurang menyukainya karena saya orangnya tidak terlalu Pecaya Diri dengan kata lain pemalu hehe. Tapi saya coba supaya bisa jadi orang yang berani dan tidak pemalu lagi.

Pada saat kelas 3 saya dan teman-teman diminta untuk mengisi acara pensi sekolah dengan Tarian Daerah yaitu Tari Saman. Karena sebelumnya kita memiliki kelompok tarian dan guru pun mengetahuinya dan tertarik jadi kita diminta untuk mengisi acara tersebut. Saat acara berlangsung tamu-tamu terhormat pun menikmatinya dan tertarik untuk mengundang kita untuk mengisi acara Wisuda SMK. Alhamdulillah orang-orang menonton menyukai tarian kita.

TOEFL

SEJARAH TOEFL

TOEFL adalah singkatan dari Test Of English as a Foreign language. TOEFL merupakan sebuah test yang digunakan untuk mengetahui kemampuan seseorang dalam berbahasa Inggris. Test TOEFL berawal dari sebuah proyek ferguson yang digunakan untuk mengukur kemampuan bahasa pegawai pemerintah dan mahasiswa. Sejak tahun 1960-an, tes TOEFL dikelola oleh Educational Testing Service (ETS), sebuah organisasi standar-pengujian internasional. 

Tes TOEFL adalah merek dagang terdaftar dari Educational Testing Service (ETS) dan diberikan di seluruh dunia. Tes ini pertama kali diberikan pada tahun 1964 dan sejak itu telah diambil oleh lebih dari 23 juta siswa.

Jenis tes bahasa Inggris TOEFL ini pada umumnya diperlukan untuk persyaratan masuk kuliah pada hampir semua universitas di Amerika Serikat dan Kanada baik untuk program undergraduate (S-1) maupun graduate (S-2 atau S-3). Hasil tes TOEFL ini juga dipakai sebagai bahan pertimbangan mengenai kemampuan bahasa Inggris dari calon mahasiswa yang mendaftar ke universitas di negara lain, termasuk universitas di Eropa dan Australia. Secara umum, tes TOEFL lebih berorientasi kepada American English, dan sedikit berbeda dengan jenis tes IELTS yang berorientasi kepada British English. Tidak seperti tes IELTS, tes TOEFL ini pada umumnya tidak mempunyai bagian individual interview test.

Biasanya tes ini memakan waktu sekitar tiga jam dan diselenggarakan dalam 4 bagian, yaitu bagian:

• listening comprehension,
• grammar structure and written expression,
• reading comprehension, dan bagian
• writing.

Nilai hasil ujian TOEFL berkisar antara: 310 (nilai minimum) sampai 677 (nilai maximum) untuk versi PBT (paper-based test).

 

Tes ini awalnya dikembangkan di Pusat Linguistik Terapan dipimpin oleh ahli bahasa, Dr Charles A. Ferguson. Berbasis di Washington, DC, Pusat Linguistik Terapan (CAL) adalah sebuah organisasi nirlaba yang berkomitmen untuk meneliti hubungan antara bahasa dan budaya. Didirikan pada tahun 1959, direktur pertama adalah Charles A. Ferguson yang pernah diberikan program serupa di Timur Tengah di tahun 1921-1998 dan mengajar sebagai profesor di Universitas Harvard. Ferguson dipandu untuk mengembangkan solusi praktis untuk penerapan bahasa dan keprihatinan keaksaraan pemerintah internasional dan nasional.

Proyek awal Ferguson adalah untuk mengembangkan tes yang akan mengukur kemampuan berbahasa dimana bahasa Inggris merupakan bahasa kedua kepada mahasiswa dan pegawai pemerintah. Ferguson dan peneliti linguistik mengembangkan tes TOEFL selama lima tahun pertama.

Sejak akhir 1960-an, tes TOEFL telah dikelola oleh Educational Testing Service (ETS), sebuah lembaga standar pengujian internasional. Antara tahun 1964-2008, sebanyak 24 juta orang yang sebagian besar siswa internasional telah mengambil tes TOEFL.

Test TOEFL terdiri dari test membaca, menulis, mendengarkan dan berbicara. Dulu test TOEFL hanya berbasis tes kertas dan tes komputer, namun sejak tahun 2005 tes TOEFL beralih menjadi test berbasis internet yaitu TOEFL iBT.

TUJUAN TEST TOEFL

TOEFL memiliki dua tujuan umum yaitu: Academic dan General. Dalam bentuk yang sama, sertifikasi rekomendasi TOEFL bisa gunakan untuk kedua hal tadi. Academic adalah menggunakan test untuk tujuan pendidikan, penelitian atau yang berhubungan dengan kegiatan akademis di luar negeri, ataupun di Indonesia. Untuk paska sarjana, biasanya nilai minimal adalah 550. sedangkan untuk S1 adalah 500 General pada umumnya digunakan untuk tujuan pekerjaan, kenaikan pangkat atau tugas kerja. Banyak perusahaan yang memasang standar bahasa inggris karyawannya dengan melihat nilai TOEFL – nya. Umumnya, nilai TOEFL minimal adalah 500 untuk kenaikan pangkat standar. Kisaran nilai TOEFL rata – rata orang indonesia dengan jenjang pendidikan minimal S1 sangat fluktuatif. Bahkan ada beberapa yang tidak mengetahui apa dan untuk apa itu TOEFL (mereka membaca dengan : ”tufl”). Tidak demikian dengan para pengambil jurusan bahasa inggris semasa kuliah. Minimalmereka tahu, apa itu TOEFL. Meski demikian, nilai TOEFL seorang mahasiswa atau lulusan jurusan bahasa inggris sekalipun tidak menjamin tinggi. Pada beberapa kalicase recruiment, saya mendapati beberapa applicant mendapatkan nilai TOEFL 300, padahal di lamarannya, yang bersangkutan adalah alumni sebuah ABA (Akademi Bahasa Asing). Sedangkan secara umum, fluktuasi nilai TOEFL rata – ratanya berkisar antara 300 sampai 600.
