6. Title Corruption
Thesis 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.
Argument 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.
Recommendati I believe we should start at the earliest stages in school and I think
on everyone should be involved in the effort to eradicate corruption.
We must not make any distinction.

8. Title Buying Mobile Phone
With all the consequences of the mobile phone, we indeed should
give serious considerations before using it. They are :
Recommendati
. Ask yourself,”Do I really need this moment?”
on • Buy the mobile phone that suits your budget
• Prioritize the function of the mobile phone for you, rather than
its features that may interest you.
• Use the mobile phone for important talks.
After we decide to use a mobile phone, we should make a
choice on the type of mobile phone. With the various choices in the
market, we should decide one that meets out needs. We must
Argument 2 & 3 know what we need
As the consequences of the mobile phone, we have to pay
more for mobile phone compared to a fixed telephone. That is why
we have to think carefully before we decide to use it. Therefore, we
only use the mobile phone for important talks. It will not be wise if
we use it for a chat with a friend.
If we decide to buy a mobile phone, we can start asking ourselves
Argument 1 the usefulness of the equipment. We may ask, “Do we want it for
our prestige or for usefulness?”
When we buy mobile phone, we have to think about the advantage
Thesis as well as the disadvantages. Doing so, we will be able to make a
wise decision.
