Lectures are Responsible for Motivating Students to Learn

1. Thesis: Lectures are responsible for motivating students to learn.
2. 1^st argument: Lectures can influence others.
3. 2^nd argument: Motivation can come with innovative and creative assignments.
4. 3^rd argument: Lecturers play big role in students’ learning activities so motivation from them is needed.
5. Counter argument: Self-willingness is the basis in learning.
6. Conclusion: Motivating students to learn is lectures’ responsibility.

Generally speaking, motivation is what energizes, maintains, and controls behavior. As such, it is clear why it plays an important role in the university. Because to make things that you want to do or achieve happen, you need motivation. Therefore, motivation is needed by everyone so it is what drives you towards a goal, gets you up in the morning, and keeps you working through a task, determined to succeed when things get tough. This essay will demonstrate the reasons why lectures are responsible to motivate students to learn.

To begin with, lectures can influence others, especially the students. Because they have more experiences and higher education than the students. That is why, when lectures speak up, people can easily believe and get the point. Moreover, students need to have motivation in order to understand and get the idea from lectures.

In addition, motivation is not just all about giving students speech in boring and formal way. But giving more innovative and creative assignment can lead them to have more spirit, passion and improve their willingness of study. Because the regular assignment was too often and ordinary.

Finally, Lecturers play big role in students’ learning activities so motivation from them is needed. Because more motivations can lead to increased productivity and allow students to expand their abilities more. Just like a quote from Mustafa Kemal Ataturk “A good teacher is like a candle-it consumes itself to light the way for others”.

To sum up, although Self-willingness is the basis in learning process, lectures should also be aware of the important role of motivations. That is why I totally agree with the statement above.

My Swimming Story

I used to wake up in the morning at 4.30 am and at 5 I already jump in to the water, to practice. Not to forget after school I need to go to swimming pool as fast as I can until 8 pm. Yes, I used to be a swimming athlete since when I was 9 until 14 years old. I started to swim when I was 4 years old with my sister and we compete together in swimming pool. My childhood was all about swimming. I remember where ever I go for holiday; the only one that matter for me is the hotel or resort need to have a swimming pool and having a new swimming suit makes me happier than a pair of shoes. I took to swimming like I took to eating: with a sort of relaxed devotion, as if it was my birthright to be in a swimsuit at all times.

I was, in fact, so relaxed about competitive swimming that I never had the intense discipline to become a really fast swimmer as a kid. But being on the team did mean that I got to be in the water and hang out near the pool every single day, which was exactly where I wanted to be. Being an athlete was the best decision I have ever made. I was lucky to have parents who supported me financially, physically and of course mentally. The first team that I joined named Sura Club and its vision is “di Air Kita Jaya” the coach who happens to be my mother’s friend. He is the one who introduce me with water no doubt that I loved it! After that I joined KONI (Komite Olahraga Nasional Indonesia) PRSI (Persatuan Renang Seluruh Indonesia) east java region and I got professional coaches from government. 

My highest achievement is when I became top 10 ranks in east java region. That is why my junior high school has received me without taking a test at all. When I was 14, I decided to quit from being an athlete because I need to focus to my study. No doubt that I spent a lot of time in swimming. And I saw myself not to be an athlete in the future for a professional carrier. But still, I have no regret at all. I was lucky to have an opportunity to be an athlete. I was taught about what sportivity is, and having a mentally strong every time I won or lose.

Problems in Surabaya

1.                                                                                                                        

        Introduction

Surabaya as know as kota pahlawan “city if heroes”  is the capital city in east java near Sidoarjo and Gresik.  Surabaya is the second largest city and the third largest metropolitan area in Indonesia, after greater Jakarta and Bandung. Many people know this city because of the history of battle in Surabaya. The Battle of Surabaya, one of the well-known battles of the Indonesian revolution, started after the Arek-Arek Suroboyo (Teenagers of Surabaya) assassinated the British Brigadier Mallaby on October 30, 1945 near Jembatan Merah (the "Red Bridge").The ensuing battle, which cost thousands of lives, took place on November 10, which Indonesians subsequently celebrate as Hari Pahlawan (Heroes' Day). The incident of the red-white flag (the Dutch flag at the top of Yamato Hotel's tower that was torn into the Indonesian red-white flag) by Bung Tomo is also recorded as a heroic feat during the struggle of this city. If you go to Surabaya, you can find many historic places and buildings with unique architectures.

     Problems

·         Traffic jam

Major traffic jams occur on a daily basis especially during the busy hours of 7:00 - 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 - 6:00 p.m in some main streets.

·         Flood

Surabaya is characterized by water. Unfortunately, its location in a river delta, coupled with an aging and inadequate city infrastructure, makes the city prone to flooding.

3.      Solution and advice

·         Use of public transportation could help reducing traffic congestion of the city. Right now bemo (angkot) and buses are the most helpful public transportation. In order to fulfill the citizens needs, government should provide more qualified public transportation.

·         Citizen has to cooperate to not littering and make river cleaner. Though, government should  clean the river regularly and sue anyone who still littering.

4.      Conclusion

By a great cooperation between the citizens, government Surabaya can be better in many aspects. Now, Surabaya is on the process of changes lead by Bu Risma as the major. For the example, process of going GREEN; the government is building more gardens all over the city and doing their best to maintain the green environment. Although Surabaya has hot weather, but the gardens could possibly help it. So it's not impossible to have Surabaya with smooth traffic and no floods.
