Smoking effect

Some say that smoke has bad effect, I agree that smoke has many negative effect to our body, such as smoke can make us sick even it can make us die. Smoke can make us heart attack, and many others that can make us die. Because of that, some of organizations in our country say that smoke is proscribed. May be it can be valid to children. If it is occur to all of age, it can be a negative impact from other side. For example, if smoke is really forbidden, it can make a laborer will be fired from his company. So it make many unemployment in our country. So it make our economic become bad .But if we see t from other side, we can find that smoke has positive impact too.
However, smoking has a positive impact too, there are also some advantages of smoke. First, it is for making friendship, someone can make a friendship with a cigarette. For example, in a bus a man gives a cigarette to someone who sit beside him. They can start to talk and make a friendship. Second, it is help an artist to get inspiration. A writer needs a cigarette before write and a painter needs a cigarette before painting. Third, it is also help some one who lost mental stress. People who work in an office, sometimes get many troubles. And smoking can help it. But in this case I don’t persuade anyone to smoke. In the reality, we still can find that many of people are smoker. Finally, smoke is not about negative effect, but smoke has a positive impact too, it can be occur if we used it according the rules. Every things should be do by the rules.
In conclusion, may be we can change our view to some things. We cannot se a thing only from one side, we need see it from many of view. So, from now why we don’t see some things from other side? Maybe it can answered many question in our mind. And it make disappear a bad prejudice in our mind.

The mind controversy

Sometimes I have been thinking about my self. Yes, I am a university student, and I am here because my fate arrange me to be there. But, I am grateful, because I can entered andalas university. And I can be a student there. Formerly, I think became a university student is a proudly. And I think became a university student is happy. I can thought like that because I don’t know anymore about a university student. I just saw from a half side. I just saw that a university students are free, they don’t need to wear uniform, and they don’t need to wake up in the morning, because they can arrange they schedule. But its just a part of my mind. I don’t know the reality of the university students.
Now, after long time since I thought about it, I fell the reality about the university student. I know about the ‘live in campus’. Here, we are free, but we should survive, and we should attempt to finish the study in this university. Now, I know about a university student. I know that not always happy become a university student. Here, we should attempt to get a good mark. We should ‘fighting’ with the assignment that given by the lecturer. Like what I doing right now . sometimes I feel boring with the assignment. It is very boring, it make us tired and sometimes it make us become depression. Sometimes I have been think to became a lecturer. And it just a little part of my mind too. I don’t know the reality about lecturer. I just know that become a lecturers are happily. They can arrange the schedule by them self. They can make a regulation by their own. And they only gives us assignment, and relax. But it just a little part of my mind. I don’t know the reality about the lecture. Maybe, it is not easily to become a lecturer. Maybe they have their each problem. Same with us that is a university student have our each problem. Now, the best think that I must doing is study hard to graduated with a good mark from the university.

My opinion about the Andalas University

I think Andalas university is one of many good campus in Indonesia. And Andalas University has many superiority than other university, especially in west Sumatra. Andalas university is the biggest university in Sumatra. And andalas university famous as known as “green campus” because it has many forest or tress around this university. But andalas university has many bad things too. Such as the transportation, the regulation, and about the cleanliness. As a big university, andalas university has many student that studying here, so andalas university should prepare for the transportation for the student to get andalas university, as we known that we must pay Rp 200.000,- for the transportation. I think the ‘campus bus’ is not comparable with the student. Beside it, not all of the bus run in their job time .So I think, andalas university should increase the bus, so all the student can use the campus bus, and no body one will come late.
Beside the problem about transportation, this campus has other problem, that is about the regulation, especially about the registered of the student, and about the portal system. Actually, I do not understand about this university, the registration is very complicated. We should fill in KRS online on the portal meanwhile, the portal is often error. Beside it, we should get signature from the ‘Admition Personal’. So I still confuse, is the registration manual or automatic? I think, as a good university, the registration in andalas university should not complicated like righ now. Properly, andalas university should choose the way to registration to the student, is manual or automatic. But as a good university, I think andalas university should do it automatic, so it can make simple to the student. And the last thing is about the cleanliness in andalas university, especially in the toilet. We can say that the cleanliness of the toilet in each building in andalas university are bad. The toilet are smell, bad, and the equipments are not functional. I think andalas university should repair about the cleanliness the toilet, and repair the tolls, so this toilet will be clean.
Finally, andalas university is a good university in Indonesia. But andalas university should tidy up to become international university.

Finite, non Finite and verbless clause

DISCUSSION
1. Finite clause is a clause whose V element is a finite verb phrase.
i.e : John has visited New York
Because John is working, he . . .
Finite clause always contains a subject as well as a predicate, except in the case of commands and ellipsis. As nearly all independent clauses are finite clauses, it is these that are most clearly related to the clauses dealt with in the discussion.

2. Non-finite clause is a clause whose V element is a non-finite verb phrase.
i.e : Having seen the pictures, he . . .
For John to carry the parcels was a . . .

Non-finite clause can be constructed without a subject, and usually are. The four classes of non-finite verb phrase serve to distinguish four classes of non-finite clauses:

1. Infinitive with to
Without subject: The best thing would be to tell everybody
With subject: The best thing would be for you to tell everybody
The use of for to introduce the subject should be noted. The infinitive clause with to and with a subject is found characteristically in anticipatory it constructions : it would be better (for you) to tell everybody.

2. Infinitive without to
Without subject: All I did was hit him on the head
With subject: Rather than John do it, I’d prefer to give the job to Nano

3. –ing participle
Without subject : Living the room, he tripped over the mat
With subject : Her aunt having left the room, I declared my passionate love for Celia

4. –ed participle
Without subject : Covered with confusion, I left the room
With subject : We left the room and went home, the job finished

When the subject of the adverbial, participial clauses is expressed, it is often introduced by with :

With the tree growing tall, we get more shade
grown

3. Verbless clause is a clause containing no V element (but otherwise generally analyzable in terms of one or more clause elements).
i.e : Although always helpful, he . . .
John, then in New York, was . . .
In verbless clauses : non-finite clauses do not carry primary tense, verbless clauses don’t even have a verb.
Verbless clauses as complement to a preposition:
– He’d been on the beach [without anyone noticing him].
– He’d been on the beach [without any sunscreen on].
– [While I was working in Boston]I lived with my aunt.
– [While working in Boston] I lived with my aunt.
– [While in Boston] I lived with my aunt.
Verbless clauses functioning directly as adjuncts:
–The meeting finally over, they all adjourned to the local cafĂ©.
–The passengers, many of them quite elderly, were forced to line up in the sun.
All clauses --- finite, non-finite , or verbless clauses are may of course themselves have subordinate clauses which are finite, non-finite, or verbless. Eg. The following verbless clause has a finite clause within it:
Although always helpful when his father was away, he . . .

CONCLUSION
After we discussed about finite clause, non-finite clause, and verbless clause, we conclude that finite is a clause whose V element is a finite verb phrase. On the other hand, non-finite clause is a clause whose V element is a non-finite verb phrase and verbless clause is a clause containing no V element. All clauses --- finite, non-finite , or verbless clauses are may of course themselves have subordinate clauses which are finite, non-finite, or verbless.
