3.   Washing (remove impurities)

4.   Crushing and melting.

5.   Moulding into new products.

 




The diagrams explain the way in which glass containers, such as bottles, are produced and recycled.

Overall, the process consists of 4 stages of glass production and 5 stages of glass recycling. The glass production process begins with mixing the materials and ends up with the finished glass containers. And the glass recycling process begins with the collection of used glass and ends up with moulding them into new products.

First of all, sand, soda ash, limestone, and other chemicals are mixed. After that, the raw materials are melted in a glass furnace, where they are heated with an approximate temperature of 1500 Celsius. Then the melted materials are shaped in the molten glass bowling. Next, they are stored in the glass containers.

In the glass recycling process, the used glasses are collected first. Next, they are sorted depending on their color. After that, the sorted used glasses are washed to remove their impurities. Then, the washed materials are crushed and melted. Finally, the crushed and molten yields are turned into new products after they are moulded.

Plastic in the Ocean

Introduction
-Plastic explanation
-The explanation of the problem
-Thesis statement: The world’s oceans are filling up with waste plastics which is bad because it creates some problems.
Problems
- Many lives are in danger
- Water pollution
Solutions
- Reduce the use of plastic bags
- Use bio degradable plastics
Conclusion
Plastics pollute our oceans and give some problems if nothing is done. But there are solutions for this problem. There are still things that we can do. And it’s up to us humans to solve this problem and make a better life for ourselves, other creatures, and oceans.


Plastic is used for many things in our life. It is used as a material for bags, packages, bottles, etc. Because of the common use of plastic, we can find plastic everywhere, and often in the form of trash. Plastic trash can be found in many places, including oceans. And not only plastics from human daily use can end up in the oceans, but also from industries and manufactures that can throw their plastic waste to the oceans as it’s easier to dispose that much of wastes just by simply throwing it somewhere else. The world’s oceans are filling up with waste plastics which is bad because it creates some problems.
The first problem created by this phenomenon is that many lives are in danger. Waste plastics in the sea can be eaten by animals like fish, crabs, shrimps, etc. Those waste plastics are obviously not good for those animals as they can kill them if the consumption level is high. Birds can also die if they are tricked by those plastics because of their bright colours. When they eat those plastics, they can die from suffocation. Another problem is water pollution. Oceans are getting more polluted if this problem are not solved. This is because the degradation time of plastics can take up to 1000 years, which makes it safe to say that if plastics end up in the ocean, they don’t degrade by themselves and pollute the water for the next 1000 years.
One way to address this problem is to reduce the use of plastic bags. We can do it by bringing our fabric bags when we shop or go somewhere and we need to bring our stuffs. The idea is to decrease our plastic use as low as possible so there will be less waste plastics. Another way is to use bio degradable plastics. This type of plastic takes shorter time to degrade, which is good for nature and oceans. This means that even if those plastics end up in oceans, it will degrade faster.
In conclusion, plastics pollute our oceans and give some problems if nothing is done. But there are solutions for this problem. There are still things that we can do. And it’s up to us humans to solve this problem and make a better life for ourselves, other creatures, and oceans.

Conveniences and Dangers of Internet

Introduction
While internet offers many conveniences, it also has some dangers.
Arguments For
·         First, we can learn new things easily.
·         Second, it helps us to know places.
·         Third, it allows us to communicate with other people easier.
Arguments against
·         First, your personal data can be mined.
·         Second, internet makes you prone to be cyberbullied if you’re active on social medias.
·         Third, too much internet can be bad for your health.
Conclusion
In my opinion, we have to use the internet wisely as it gives tremendous advantages which are useful for our lives.

Internet is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope. It links many people and parties. It has been used for a while by people on daily basis to help their jobs or make things they have to do become easier. While internet offers many conveniences, it also has some dangers.

Internet has some good things. First, we can learn new things easily. There are many tutorial videos on YouTube. And also many articles of learning materials and formulas. Second, it helps us to know places. For instance, if we get lost we can find ways by looking at Google Maps. This also can guide us to go to places we want to visit. Third, it allows us to communicate with other people easier. Applications like Line and Instagram let us to text or video chat people far away from us with the help of internet connection.

But internet also has some bad things. First, your personal data can be mined. It can be done by hacking your personal accounts. And those datas can be used to blackmail you or be used for the hackers’ personal purposes. Second, internet makes you prone to be cyberbullied if you’re active on social medias. The bully can bully you easily without fear as not presenting his identity while bullying you is possible by staying anonymous. The bully actions can be mocking, spreading lies about you, etc. Third, too much internet can be bad for your health. Internet can make you stay up late by keeping you checking social media like Instagram, or watching videos which can give you sleep deprivation. It can also make you worry about other people’s lives and compare it to yours constantly, which is of course not healthy, as it can give you unnecessary stress.

In conclusion, internet has both its own conveniences and dangers. In my opinion, we have to use the internet wisely as it gives tremendous advantages which are useful for our lives. Even though internet also has disadvantages, we simply have to avoid them since most are avoidable or preventable, and focus on the internet’s advantages.

Should Governments Fund Free Healthcare Through Taxes or Should Citizens Pay Themselves with Private Health Insurance?

Introduction
Healthcare definition
In Indonesia, there are some reasons why healthcare should be funded by the government.
Paragraph 2
First, it’s a country’s duty to protect citizens’ lives.
Fact: In the opening of Indonesian law paragraph 4 that states the nation will protect its people.
Paragraph 3
Second, it’d be good to help Indonesian poor people to get healthcare.
Fact: accorrding to statistics, there are still 25.95 million Indonesian people that live in poverty.
Paragraph 4
Better health program can be improved in Indonesia, which can improve better living quality of people.
Fact: JKN (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional) had the satisfaction rate of 78.6%.
Counter argument
Argument: The money from tax would be better to be used for infrastructures, technologies, public facilities, etc.

Counter argument: Improving healthcare and ensuring health for people is more important
Conclusion
Summarizing all arguments and state that healthcare should be funded by government.


Health care is the maintenance or improvement of health via the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, illness, injury, and other physical and mental impairments in people. It is needed for people as humans who can get sick at some points. It can be obtained by paying or free provided by governments. Because of its importance, people should get healthcare for their own good, even if it’s funded by government if the people can’t get it. In Indonesia, there are some reasons why healthcare should be funded by the government.
First, it’s a country’s duty to protect citizens’ lives. It’s because a nation is made of people. If Indonesia fund healthcare for its people, that means Indonesia does its job well to ensure the good lives of people who pledge their lives and loyalty to the country. And it’s also clearly stated in the opening of Indonesian law 1945 paragraph 4 as such “melindungi segenap bangsa Indonesia dan seluruh tumpah darah Indonesia”, which translates to “protecting the entire Indonesian people” in short, government fulfill its promise and duty to protect Indonesian people. In this case protecting from diseases, illness, etc.
Second, it’d be good to help Indonesian poor people to get healthcare. According to Indonesian statistics, there are 25.95 million Indonesian people still living in poverty. These people surely consist of humans with the needs of healthcare. It’d be unfair for them if they just live with untreated illness only because they don’t have the money to get the proper treatment. It’s totally a good idea to give government funded healthcare, as shown from FEB UI research that Indonesian Health Card program helped 1.16 million poor people to be healthy again.
Third, better health program can be improved in Indonesia, which can improve better living quality of people. There are various healthcare program conductors in Indonesia that have shown good result of their jobs. For example, JKN (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional) had the satisfaction rate of 78.6%. This tells us that good healthcare satisfy Indonesian people. And that better health program can be achieved in such a clear way.
People may think that money from tax would be better to be used for infrastructures, technologies, public facilities, etc. They would think those are the important things for the government to spend money on to be a better nation. But it’s wrong cause those things aren’t human basic needs that the government should focus on. Instead, improving healthcare and ensuring health for people is more important cause those people, Indonesian people are the ones who run the country. Workers, farmers, teachers, etc are the ones who make this country keeps existing and well. Surely they should be the priority for the government to care about.
In conclusion, healthcare should be funded by the government cause there are some factors that agree with it. Being the country’s duty, helping Indonesian poor people, and improving better health program are the reasons why the Indonesian government should fund healthcare.

Comparison of learning math and learning language

Introduction

In this essay we will discuss the similarities and differences of learning math and languages as they are both knowledges but different to an extent.

Similarities

First, we need practice to master both of them. Second, both has rules.

Difference

They have different focuses.

Conclusion

In conclusion, learning languages and math has similarities and difference, Both need practice if you want to be good at them, and both also has rules.

 


Learning is getting to know new things that a person hasn’t known before. People can gain knowledge by learning. There are so many knowledge in the world that a person can learn. But obviously, people wouldn’t learn them all at once, or even consider to learn due to their needs. For example aspiring businessmen can learn business strategies, cooks can learn recipes, and engineers can learn physics. But there are basic knowledge that a person needs to learn which are often taught in school. 2 of them are math and languages. In this essay we will discuss the similarities and differences of learning math and languages as they are both knowledges but different to an extent.

Learning math and languages has some similarities. First, we need practice to master both of them. For math we need to do calculations over and over again to understand the concepts. While when we learn languages we need to make sentences and use the language in our daily life to become better at it. Eventhough the way we practice is different, but both need practice if we want to be good at them. Second, both has rules. In math we have exact formulas, while in languages we have grammar rules. Math has formulas to calculate area, volume, etc. But in languages, for example in English, we have tenses, essay structure, etc.

Learning math and languages also has a difference, They have different focuses. Math is focused on numbers, while languages is focused on words and sentences. That’s why we count numbers and solve mathematical equations in math. Unlike when we learn language, in which we are focused on joining words and make them into sentence and eventually essays.

In conclusion, learning languages and math has similarities and difference, Both need practice if you want to be good at them, and both also has rules. While their focus may be the thing that make them different, as math concerns about numbers, while language concerns abput words and sentences.
