MANFAAT BELAJAR BAHASA INGGRIS
 
Hakekat belajar bahasa, pada umumnya adalah belajar berkomunikasi. Karena bahasa adalah media yang paling efektif untuk menyampaikan pesan dan komunikator kepada komunikator. Oleh karena itu, apapun bahasa yang dipakai dalam berkomunikasi, merupakan bagian dari budaya yang sangat penting.
Bahasa Inggris telah diakui sebagai bahasa internasional. Artinya, masyarakat yang berasal dari beragam latar belakang goegrafi, agama dam kultur telah memiliki suatu media yang disepakati untuk berkomunikasi satu sama lainnya, yaitu Bahasa Inggris. Transfer of knowledge, transfer of technology, economic affair, bahkan cross culture understanding tersedia dalam jaringan internet dengan media komunikasi yang disebutkan diatas.
Dari paparan sederhana yang disebutkan dalam dua alinea diatas, kita dapat menarik suatu gambaran yang jelas bahwa Bahasa Inggris memberi ruang gerak yang seluas-luasnya kepada kita untuk larut menjadi bagian dari komunitas global masyarakat dunia.
Dengan menguasai Bahasa Inggris secara aktif, kita akan merasa seakan-akan tidak ada lagi batas wilayah negara, tidak ada rasial fanaticsm, dan dengan bangga tentu kita bisa melantunkan satu baris syair The Beatels “And the world will be as one…”.
Konsep berfikir kita selama ini terlalu sempit dalam menyikapi arti belajar Bahasa Inggris sebagai sebagai suatu kegiatan pembelajaran di sekolah dengan tujuan hanya untuk mendapatkan nilai yang standar agar lulus ujian.
Konsep berfikir sempit inilah yang kemudian membuat kita tidak mampu menciptakan rasa nyaman belajar, malas, ngantuk dan rasa lapar seringkali terasa pada jam pelajaran Bahasa Inggris dimulai.
Untuk menghilangkan “penyakit kronis” itu, marilah kita lihat manfaat apa yang dapat kita petik dari kompetensi Bahasa Inggris.
a. Academic Purpose
Buku yang konon disebut sebagai gudang ilmu ternyata banyak tertulis dalam Bahasa Inggris, sehingga bagi kaum akademisi a.k.a mahasiswa, buku harus menjadi santapan sehari-hari.
b. Pengembangan Karier
Dunia kerja akan tergiur oleh orang-orang yang pandai berBahasa Inggris. Sehingga calon Slakae Holder akan berlomba mencari mereka. Jadi dengan Bahasa Inggris, pekerjaanlah yang mencari pelamar.
c. Memperluas Pergaulan
Diatas sudah disinggung bahwa kita sebentar lagi memasuki dunia yang universal, dunia menjadi satu bangsa dalam keanekaragaman budaya. Siapa yang tertarik untuk menjadi orang gaul tingkat jagat, kuasailah Bahasa Inggris.

kesimpulan :
Dari artikel diatas memberikan gambaran bahwa betapa pentingnya belajar bahasa inggris, banyak manfaat yang akan kita dapat. mungkin untuk sebagian orang merasa bahasa inggris adalah sesuatu yang sulit, tapi itu salah karena semua itu karena kemauan di dalam diri setiap orang. kita harus berfikir positif bahwa KITA BISA BAHASA INGGRIS. kemauan dan niat yang besar adalah kunci untuk keberhasilan. untuk sesuatu yang baik, tidak perlu ragu untuk dicoba.

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - State Enterprises Minister Dahlan Iskan, Tuesday (20/3), the morning suddenly became the toll booth attendant to address traffic congestion at toll booths Semanggi to Slipi, West Jakarta.

Promptly at 6:10 pm, which will lead to Dahlan Iskan Soekarno-Hatta International Airport toll booths going to see long lines of up to about 30 cars.

Dahlan who will perform leadership meeting in PT Garuda Indonesia, the company got out of his car and immediately get into the toll booth.

Former CEO of Java Post Group is getting furious when he saw the two counters are empty without the attendant, while the function is only one counter and one counter automated manual.

This condition is contrary to the instructions Dahlan, who wants that line at each toll gate only a maximum of five cars. Do not want to linger, Dahlan throwing chairs in the empty booth. "This chair is useless," cried Dahlan.

Then he immediately opened the latch and let the toll highway users from entering the newly opened counters, without pay or for free. At least as many as 100 cars straight through without paying a ticket.

Coincidence between the cars will enter the queue is the Managing Director of PT Garuda Indonesia Tbk Satar. "What really ngatur traffic pack". Yes sir it's free?, "Said Emirsyah.

Not long ago, the toll booth smoothly, then immediately left the scene of highway Dahlan headed Garuda's office to hold a leadership meeting that the ministry BUMN routinely conducted every Tuesday.


MY OPINION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IS :
It is the most appropriate way has been done Dahlan Iskan, because it is a rebuke to the negligence of the Jasa Marga the services they provide.
This is an example for other governments to better cope with problems that disturb public.
the existence of this problem, people expect all of this could be the start of the improvement of public services.
