It is about Me

             This story is about me, about myself. My name is Indah Shintia Masniari. I was born in October 16^th, 1992 in Pematang Siantar, North Sumatera. I have flat nose, short black hair, and rounded eyes. I am about 152 cm height and 39 kg weight. I am a daughter from Abdul Miski and Elfrida Afni Simanjuntak. My parents just have two children, and I am the youngest. I am Javanese because my father is Javanese but my mother is Bataknese.

            Tell about me, I think I am a lovely person. I have many friends and I think they like me. Even thought, some friends and my family said that I am a moody person. I think they were true about that thing. Actually, I am a temperamental person. I am easy to get angry, but also easy to feel sad. I think I am a sensitive person.

            Tell about my education, I graduated from SDN 015 Pematang kayu arang in Pekanbaru, but actually, I usually move from one school to other school. May be I moved for about five times. For continuing my education, I studied in SMPN 1 Pekanbaru until I graduate. After that, I continued my Senior high school in Pematang Siantar at SMK Kartini YPI. I majored in Accounting that time. Now, for continuing my collage, I study in Universitas Negeri Padang majoring in English Department.

            My daily activities are like usual people’s activities or maybe not. I usually go to school from Monday to Friday, but sometimes I must go to school every day including Sunday. I take eight classes this semester; five classes for my major and three classes for “mku”. The five classes are listening I, writing I, reading I, speaking & pronunciation I, and structure I. For the three classes are “Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan”, “Pendidikan Agama”, and “Bahasa Indonesia”.

            Even those are make me exhausted, I always try to finish them fast. About my bad habit, I hope my friends and my family can understand. I will try to change my bad habit, I will try to be patience and not easy to get angry. I know that will be hard, but I will try to make my life better than now.

Riding Bicycle or Motorcycle

             In this recent time, people are very busy and need vehicles to make their life easy. There are many kind of vehicles that can be used by people. Now, there are two most famous vehicles that people usually use: bicycle and motorcycle. Both of these vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses. The three most differences of these vehicles are the healthy, air pollution, and the time and the cost.

            The first most difference between these two vehicles is the healthy. Riding bicycle is much healthier than riding motorcycle. Because when people ride it, all parts of their body are being worked. . It is really different when people ride motorcycle because they just sit and ride it. So, according from the healthy riding bicycle is better than riding motorcycle.

            The second difference is air pollution causes. Motorcycle must need gasoline to make it run well. Gasoline, itself causes the air pollution. It makes motorcycle being the causes of pollution. If the rider of motorcycle increases, it also causes for increasing air pollution. However, bicycle does not need gasoline. People just ride it only by actuating their foot. So, bicycle does not cause the air pollution.

            The third are the time and the cost. When people ride motorcycle, it can save more their time because people can go anywhere faster than ride bicycle. According to the cost, riding bicycle is more effective to save money, because it does not use gasoline like motorcycle. So, it also can save the supply of world gasoline.

            In conclusion, riding bicycle and riding motorcycle. According to their time, the cost, cares and healthy; the choice is really depends on the people who want to ride the vehicles. They can choose motorcycle if they think that time is more important than healthy. They also can choose bicycle if healthy is the most important. So, they should consider their needs and possibilities to choose the best vehicle for them because each vehicle has their strength and weakness.
