31. Corruption
Do you know what the meaning of corruption is? What is the relation
between money and corruption? Well, corruption is common everywhere in
the world, even in the United States. It’s just a matter of intensity. However, it
is quite shocking when one reliable survey claims Jakarta as the most corrupt
place in Indonesia.
The survey has made me sad, actually, because I stay and earn a
living here in the capital. As most people know, Tanjung Priok port smuggling
is not a new thing at all. Entrepreneurs who want to minimize their tax
payments tend to do such a thing more often. They even bribe the officials.
Well, I think the measures taken so far to overcome the problem by
punishing the corruptors is still not far enough. We have to prevent the
younger generations from getting a bad mentality caused by corruption.
I believe we should start at the earliest stages in school and I think
everyone should be involved in the effort to eradicate corruption. We must
not make any distinction.

33. The Power of Music in Our Life
Do you agree that music is important in our life? Yes I do, music has certain
role completing our day to day activities. Here are some reasons why music is
heard everywhere and anywhere.
Music is a way to express feelings. When we fall in love, the kind of music
we’d listen to would be all about love. When we’re sad, we would go for music
that is melancholic in nature and immerse ourselves in the sadness. When we’re
happy, we’d choose songs with happy tunes too.
Song can help to memorize the last experiences. A favorite song is a
powerful documentary. People with Alzheimer which are impaired the brain would
remember details about songs they were familiar with. For example, an elderly
woman who couldn’t even remember her husband’s name would remember the
details of her favorite song; when it was played, how it made her feel and things
about the song that made it especially memorable for her.
Further, music can unite people for a cause and changes the world. A song
with good lyric and striking deep chord can stimulate the universal feeling of all
people. We can see it in the case of the famous and legendary Michael Jacson's
Heal the World. It can arouse humanism of a lot people in this world.
So what would the world be like without music? It would be lonely
