DIBI 33/07 CALL#1 "The Use of IT for ELT"

Dear Students,

Having researched "the use of Information Technology for ELT", I would like you to summarize the results into not more than 100 words essay. Make sure that your ideas does not contradict with your units' policy and capacity. It is important to think of the implementation of IT integrally in terms of looking at the parents' unit resources. We have to consider also the optimum use of the already available technology in our unit. As such, each and every idea will not similar, but it will complete one another.

Happy summarizing!

Writing activitity for KIBI Refresher "C " about "The importance of my family"

Dear Students,

Aussie describes the family into three categories; nuclear family, immediate family, and extended family. Nuclear family consists of father, mother, and their children; immediate family includes the close related family members such as grandparents, greatparents, uncle, auntie; extended family may refers to all relatives such as parents in law, and so forth.

On the contrary, Indonesian does not clearly define the status of each and every member of the family; everyone is taking important part in the family. We do care about them! Even, the Muslim beliefs that the other muslims are also their brothers and sisters.

Briefly though, no matter where we are from, the family does matter for each and everyone. Family is very important. We have to make our family happy and live in harmony. Additionally, I think having our family cheerful will benefit our office accordingly.

Now please think and write about the reasons why your family is important for each and everyone of you.

Happy family!
