Friday, 13 January 2012, I, Uci, Andien, Erma, and Leny went to Malioboro Mall together. We went to there because we had an assignment from Miss Sudarsih to do interview with foreign tourist. We went there after Desitha called us and she said that she had been talking with a foreign tourist in Mc. Donald. Actually, our first goal is to did interview with that tourist. However we did interview with another tourists who was sitting on the next Desita because Erma and Leny had been talking with Desita's friend.
Their name were Tam and Smike. Tam was a woman and Smike was a man. They came from Canada but Tam lived in Toronto and Smike lived in Holliwood. They were bestfriend. When we were chatting, they just arrived in Jogja about 2 hours ago when we was chatting with them. After they had finished the journey in Jakarta, they went here so they had not visited the tourism places in Jogja. The next day they would visit Borobudur Temple and Keraton Palace. In jogja they stayed in Hotel Santika. They would spend the holiday in Indonesia for 1 month. The next place were Bali and Lombok. Tam and Smike had married but they didn't have children so they were free. Their hobby were traveling but Smike had another hobby, that was cooking. Smike could cook Malaysian food, Chinese food, and Japanese food. Besides Indonesia, they had ever visited another countries such as Thailand, Japan, and Malaysia. We asked them why they didn't use a guide and they answered that they want to tried new experience. They had searched the information about Indonesia by internet and read some books about Indonesia so they slashed to had journey in here. Then, their favorite movie is Eat Pray Love that shooting location in Bali so they want to get there. At the end of chat, we hope they enjoyed the vacation in Indonesia and could go back here to travel another places in Indonesia.
Exactly, I was nervous to interview them. In the beginning of conversation, I told them that my English wasn't good but they said that it wasn't problem. Sometimes we laughed together. They were friendly and they were nice. We really enjoyed the interview. Hopefully we could meet again.

Time goes fast for them who have full activities and happy. Time goes long for them who don’t have activities and sad. No things that we do without time, because its the important thing in our life. The regret always coma late. It’s swallow small things and the things that haven’t use. but, it’s eternal all the terrible things and precious things in the history notes.
Only with use the time, we can know, what are the kind of we? Successful or unsuccessful person? What are the method to manage our time?

This is important, because there are many people that don't know why they lived, what are their purpose. Life only as adventure or as routines. Although life is a trip that need to planed by us. If you haven't plan, take a time to think about it. If you need, looking for someone who can guide you. This is Important Step. Don't feel sorry later when you get old, “Why I was not manage my life since young?”, “Why my life like this?” Of course, it always come late.
After we know what we want to get in this life (this is for long time goal), we can continue with make some plans or targets for short time as steps for the final goal.

Flashback our activities that we always do. Choose that we need to do and unneeded. Select them correctly. Don't forget to put in good rest and some refreshing activities. Use small notes to write them.
Sometimes we still want to do things after we select our activities. We can do all, but the result is not good, even the most important can be ignored. Pour your caress to your priority. Stay focus.
Third, ACTION. Talk less do more. Discipline to keep doing what you've been sort in tone with your priority. Keep it simple. Don't spent the time to complicate something. Do it easy, so you will find the more time. Stay focus again. So you can arrived at finish line safely. (Hoctro, 2008)

The best way to use the time is, lets do that. Throw away the laziness. The will and mind must be united to do the real action, not only words. The point is "Do what you write, and write down what you do". All of them done in a way. The best way to begin is begin them (Marie Edmund Jones) (Nanto, 2011)
Friends, lets contents the time with the easy thing. Something that we can do now, small thing that we can do early, and small thing that will be much because we do them consistently. Keep spirit

Research Essay - Moral Lessons from Football
Football is not an regular sports, but football is a great sport, and most popular sport by almost the entire people of the world because a lot of positive lessons to be learned from it. According to Sebelas Patriot (2011), So much love, so short of time, so big disappointment, then there is nothing but wait for the next game, then happy again. Football is the only unconditional love in this world. The first lesson to be learned is about cooperation. Another lesson is about good sportive for the players or for the audience or supporter. The last lesson is about patriotism that is felt for all the parties who love this sport. So, when people play football, it comes as supporter or just as a spectator certainly there will be a lot of positive things that we can take from the game of football.
First, the most important thing in football is good cooperation between the players and also with the coach. In football there is a called core players, back up players, and coaches who have duties and the functions so that trust in their respective roles are very important here. The main target in football is produce goal. To produce a goal would not be play alone, dribbling from the defense itself up until the in front of the wicket and to deceive the keeper. If this strategy is taken, a physical condition will be quickly exhausted and teamwork does not work optimally so it need the cooperation between the players in carrying out their functions. According to “Johan Cruyff (spiritual teacher in Barcelona)” that Champion is one thing, the important thing. However, performing with your own style making people to imitate and admire you. That's the greatest gift. Managing sense of selfishness is very important in football because when there is a goal is created, it's is not goal scorer, but it is a team goal. No individual victory, only victory of the team. Use all the players from the starting quarterback, winger, until the striker is the optimal strategy in creating goals. Offensive pattern is certainly more interesting to watch than defensive. All players apply strategies pick up the ball, rather than waiting for the ball, so all the players work and not only wait for feedback from the other players. The atmosphere of struggle, cooperation, and strategy is very pronounced when they do this thecnique. Then the football game will feel more attractive and provide the positive atmosphere for the players and the spectators no matter what the outcome.
Second, Sportivitas is the ethos of the sport, not only in football. Put it simply, the meaning of sportivitas is the lack of foul play, follow the rules. Sportivitas be provisions that distinguish real winner with the normal winner. "Sportivitas is the lifeblood of justice" Letto. Sportivitas is also important for fanatical fans of football clubs. There is nothing wrong of bigotry against one of the main football club. The support supporters by means of their own way to their favorite team are common in the world of football nationally and internationally. Fanaticism, enthusiasm and loyalty of the supporters in Indonesia can be said to be aligned with supporters in the international leagues. Even Franz Beckenbeuer was shocked look fanaticism, enthusiasm and loyalty of the supporters in Indonesia. We can see that Indonesia as a country in Southeast Asia has a great football atmosphere from the point of enthusiasm for football spectators at every events. Indonesia football atmosphere when seen in terms of the enthusiasm of spectators was very proud, but when seen in terms of mental and sportive atmosphere playing football in Indonesia is quite alarming. The mental "not ready to lose" also spread to supporters; some supporters in Indonesia sometimes excite their frustration by acting anarchists if their team lost at home. Fortunately there are still some supporters with big hearts, and have grown mentally as a supporter when his favorite team loses. They are more appreciated when his favorite team win or lose. It should to be acculturated, compared to cultivate unsporting actions such as the above. Moreover, we must obey the rules; accept umpire's decision even though sometimes the referee is often considered the guiltiest in the game though the decision could be properly. However, because public are less understand the rules, it often arises controversy. The defeat is only a consequence in the match but the defeat still a respectable thing when established on the common rules. We want to say congratulations on the winning one or the other teams and want to accept defeat because the consequence of actual results is tribute to the self dignity. Therefore, fair play must be spread as far as possible because the sportivitas should was not chitchat, even that philosophy should be used in any value of the life in order to educate ourselves.
The last lesson from football is about patriotism. In fact, football has been growing spirit of nationalism and patriotism of a nation. Observing the way a field star Fabregas show turned out to be a professional footballer who the main thing to develop is passion or the high patriots spirit to football itself. That's the true spirit of the fundamental forces to produce the highest achievements like the world field stars that scored many beautiful goals. Philip Anthony says, “When the game ended, I look all the players cried. Since that, I understood how much it meant to play for English because it is a form of loyalty and the totally to my country”. Defense spirit of a country like that is should be appreciated. At least, football can unite all the elements even though that is fighting. However, it would be much better if the spirit of patriotism which has shown the fans and football players remain embedded in heart and directed to another positive things. It's not only nationalism in a half day that ended when the circuit of football party has finished. So, the real action as a form of patriotism is very important in showing how much love for the nation and state.
For some people, sport is sport, and football is football. The connection between sports with things outside of sports is "inconsequential". But, like it or not, sports and of football has always been be associated with everything outside of sports and of football. Football can be a mirror of life for fans and players. This is the philosophy that quoted from the novel by Andrea Hirata, Sebelas Patriot (2011). “....save some money to buy a ticket for PSSI, shout the voice to PSSI until the long whistle is sounded is sincerely. The players head down to pray is a religion. Goalkeeper who embraces the wicket before match is a cultural. Many hundreds of cameras that target field is history. Father who brought his children to watch football is love. The students who rent public transportation, jostling the car to support the PSSI is patriotism. The score note on a giant electronic board that is stared with the feelings of pleasure or anxiety inexpressible is literature that has no equal. Being a football enthusiast means becoming part of the wonders civilization of human.” In conclusion, don't only be spectators who watch football, but also take positive values that contained in to our better life.

Review Text - Practical English Usage
Same with all languages in this world, English is full of problems for the foreign learner. Many questions need the explanations and information clearly. The book which consists of many problem points in the language and the solutions for foreign learners and their teachers is very required.
This book is a practical references guide to all questions in English. Over of 600 points which are regularly cause problems for foreign students of English. Most of the points treat about grammar but there are also explanations of a certain number of common vocabulary problems. Another content of this book is numerous examples of natural spoken and written in British English with the illustrations of differences between British and American usage. Beside it, this book also has many illustrations of stylistic differences such as the differences between formal and informal usage and the differences between spoken and written language. With the examples of common mistakes, it will be most useful to a student who has made a mistake and wants to find out why it is wrong or a teacher who is looking for a clear explanation of a difficult point of grammar or vocabulary. In addition, every explanation is completed with the cross references between related entries. Furthemore, index at the back of this book will make you find the points that you need quickly.
In essentials, this book is good reference book for intermediate and advanced students and for teachers of English. Being a reference book, it contains information distinctly at various levels, ranging from relatively simple points to advance problems. On the other hand, this book is not a systematic course in English grammar therefore students should consult the other book for a systematically organized account of the whole of English grammar. It is because this book gives explanations of individual points usage but does not show how the separate points ‘fit together’. Nevertheless, Practical English Usage is much recommended for all learners and teachers who need a guide book in the learning and teaching process seriously and deeply.
