- Give a clue to solve many questions
- The explanation is not out of the subject
MP 2 : A teacher must care about students

- Don’t always give students a punishment
- Doesn’t only teach but also educate
MP 3 : A teacher must have ability to explain clearly
- Don’t be beating around the bush
- Give an example
- Has a trick

Have we ever imagined what will happen if there is no teacher in this world? Together with that may be all of the development we passed by are nothing. It is the importance of a teacher until a special song was made for him. Consciously or not, a teacher is very important person especially in education world. If we talk about education we will find a learning-teaching process where one of its success is depend on a teacher role, but every teacher must have different qualities in teaching. Sometimes students like a subject due to that qualities and happened just the opposite of it. Firstly students like a subject then they begin to dislike it because of the teacher ability too. There are three qualities which are at least must be had to be a good teacher, also it will create a nice communication between teacher and students.
First quality is a teacher must have knowledge of subject. A mastery of subject makes students have more amazement feeling to him since they think that the teacher who teaches them is a genius man and can help them in memorizing a lot of theories, so it will increases students’ learning motivation in the class by coming up many questions. They also thing that nothing difficulty in that subject when a teacher can give a correct answer for that questions, but before answer it, a teacher has to give a clue and instruction in order that they can solve it by themselves and let them try to find the answer with their own way. Don’t give them the correct answer directly. When students are not able to analyze it, it is time for teacher to give a trick and theory of the correct answer. Besides it, that theory will be spelled out freely and in detail by relating it to the subject and usually a teacher who has knowledge of subject avoids more out of subject explanation although sometimes a little explanation about other is need to prevent a boredom in the class. If teacher talks about other too much it will disperse students’ concentration and hey forget what the teacher explained.
The next quality is a teacher must care about the students. It doesn’t mean that teacher must accompany all of the students one by one to follow all of the theory since the evaluable time is not enough for others. Whereas this way only can occur effectively for a small class which includes maximum seven students while it can’t be effective anymore in a large class which includes more than that. We can infer that the teacher care doesn’t measure with it. More important thing than it is teacher must know every student’s ability because to be best of our knowledge that everyone has different ability in understanding a subject which can help teacher to find the best way to lose the differently among the students and makes all students can reach the subject explanation. Moreover, never make the differently as a chance to be partiality, because often a teacher gives more attention to SI ANU who can understand the subject faster than others. He is be the first one who must finish the homework and to answer every question, or a teacher always mention his name by comparing his ability with others, while a low ability students are rare given a chance to do so. If it occurs in learning-teaching process, we are not doubt that only a few students like the subject, and neither do others. Some of students prefer be passive in the class because they will think that it seems they are not exist in front of the teacher. Indeed don’t give students a punishment rapidly. Usually if a teacher always gives a punishment for student disobedience it will make student be trauma and don’t want to study at home instead they don’t want to intend the class anymore since they are afraid the teacher will be angry. Then what should a teacher do? Firstly, a teacher has to ask why the student didn’t work on his/her duty as students, what is the problem etc. To avoid the teacher giving a punishment rapidly, it needs the teacher himself awareness that teacher role is not only teach but also educate. If teacher can do this point everything that can make students feel uncomfortable will be nothing, students will always take a part and be more diligent instead.
The most important quality is a teacher must have ability to explain clearly. The first step to reach it, the lecturing is not beating around the bush. Sometimes there is a subject that is easy to understand, however since the teacher can’t explain it clearly it is be a difficult subject. So it no problem that teacher gives a little explanation but it directed to the point that will make the students unconfused. As attachment when teacher explains a subject, try to give en example about everything happened in our life. In order to create an interesting lecturing teacher has to relate it with the subject is talking about because students are more able to memorize everything around their life well. Giving an example is not enough since there is the same important thing that teacher must have a trick to start the class. An experiment have found about learning where it can balance and maximize the right and the left brain role. It was written in a book “Mind Mapping: your personal guide to exploring creativity and problem solving by Joyce Wycoff-New York, 1991). This book tells the writers that make a mind mapping is worth doing than we make an outline like we always do. That is just one of the good trick examples in teaching, while every teacher has their own trick that they thing it is an effective enough for their class. Finally, whatever their way a trick is worth need to prevent students’ confusedness.
Those three are at least qualities that the teacher must have since the success education begins with the teacher way in playing his/her role in the class. If we are be a teacher next time, just be a good teacher also a good parent for the students, but before that we should have our own qualities and try to look into everything related to be a good teacher.



GOOD LUCK TO BE A GREAT TEACHER !!! 

ASSIGNMENT (NEW YEAR)

Topic : New Year
TS : There are some good ways to begin our life in New Year
SS 1 : We have to remember what we have done
- Find the best way to remain our memory
- Make a list for our mistake and kindness
SS 2 : Make a decision and a change
- Improve our mistake
- Defend our kindness
SS 3 : Do what we have arranged
- Begin it with a simple thing

“"I will make a wish in this New Year in order that I can be better than before with a work hard"”. Dina said, while Verqy want to manage his life and will not waste his time with nothing. Dina and Verqy are some examples from men who have different planning to face their life in this New Year where they want to be better than before. That is good enough and better than we don’t have commitment to improve our life. That is suitable with an aphorism that the best man is a man who can be better than yesterday. This statement mirrors that who want to be the best he must do better. So that, lets prepare our self well by making a planning to face New Year and be hurry to do a positive thing we didn’t do yet last year to avoid a regret before we are really not be able to do it at all for our future. Here there are some good ways to prove our will and to create a great future in this New Year.
First of all, we must remain what we have done. Start it by finding some ways which can give us a comfortable nuance. We can lay down on our bed to remember everything have happened, while some people like to sit down under moon ray and let their past memory comes across their mind, and others prefer to visit some places in where they ever have done everything, moreover making a list is worth doing to memorize our kindness and our mistake. Then, divide them into two rows, in the right site is our mistake and in the left site is our kindness. So it doesn’t matter when we have to bring a piece of paper and a pen wherever we go and write everything when we remember our past directly since it will avoid our forgetfulness.
Second, after we have remembered and have written it in a list we made, we have to make a decision and a change. Relook our list where we have written our mistakes in the right site. Then reflect upon it, and ask these questions to our selves, "‘have we made others happy with it? Was it useful for others?" NO must not be a doubt answer, must it? So, now is the best time to throw away our ego, improve those mistakes and decide not to repeat it even though only once. Next to it is our kindness, Respond it with a positive mind that not to be an arrogant due to those kindness. Just the opposite if we don’t do so we won’t do it anymore, in addition it will create a great happiness not even for us, much more for others, and can erase our mistakes.
This last way is as important as those two that we have to do what we have arranged from our decision before. Begin it with a simple thing first, after that step by step develop it with a bigger thing, but never forget that all of can be success by doing with our whole heart.
We must have different planning about what will he does in thin New Year. We can plan every positive thing that can create the better life for our future because it is better than we do nothing. Also we need some ways to find out how to make good planning in order that our life in this New Year is more useful for us.

Assignment

TS: Living in dormitory is a better choise than living in boarding house for us as students who live away from home while attending classes.

MP 1: We can manage our time effectively based on the roles in the dormitory.
SS: They are requred to study
SS: We can avoid the bad effect of associate.
MP 2: It make our parent don't need to worry about us.

Some students like to live in dormitories, but others prefer living in boarding house. While there are some benefits and disadvantages for both options, sometimes students like to live in boarding house more than that in dormitory. As I asked three of them, most said that they are freer. That means they can waste their time whenever and whatever they want. Moreover, there is no judgement for them in every their going home late. Those are some benefits of living in boarding house according to general statement from them. In other hand, there are still many things they should be worried about, but based on the survey, living in dormitory is a better choise than that in boarding house for us as students who live away from home while attending classes.

Firs reason, we can manage our time effectively based on the roles in the dormitory. They are required to study because the chief of the dormitory usually make a role where we must study at least an hour at night. It will train us to be serious attending our classes, in addition we can avoid the bad effect of associate. It not only about your daily activity but also your time to study. You will be limited to waste your time playing out side like shopping,going home late. All of our disobidiance of it will get punishment. However we will not find it in boarding house that nobody will care about your time to study.

Second reason, it makes our parent don't need to worry about us. Every parent want their child save from everything, don't they? If I were them, I will do so, but parent don't need to worry about our safety when we are still side of them, because every thing which happen arround us is controlled in order we dosn't get bad effect of it and doesn't make wrong decision about what we want to do. In other hand, what will our parent feel if the fact is just the opposite of it?Worrier and despondet will come arround their mind, but all of it can be solved wih our staying in dormitory because unlike in boarding house, living in dormitory offers some good ways for our safety like the discribing in paragraph before.

At various time of our life, students have different opinion about living in dormitory and in boarding house. While some students prefer living in dormitory than that in boarding house, living in dormitory has some benefits that boarding house doesn't have. Those benefits are be reason why living in dormitory is better choise for us as students who live away from home while attending class
