And this topic make me interesting to did some interview with the teenager around my home.  To got the fact and real reason from them.

CIGARETTES BE HIS FRIEND

   Why teens smoke cigarettes? This statement is really common for our ear , although they know the dangerous and the bad effect of cigarettes but they still do that. There are many statement tahat said about the reason why the teenagers be a smoker.

    According to Kurt Lewin that smoking behavior is a function of the environment and individu.Artinya smoking behavior due to factors other than themselves, are also caused by factors lingkungan.Ada various factors that are assumed to be the factors causing smoking behavior in adolescents .
    Based on the research and theories about the causes of smoking behavior in adolescents , it turns out the cause is complex in terms of both internal and external that the two are mutually supportive ( Jacken , 2002) . Therefore , this study aims to look at the picture of the teen from the beginning they knew cigarettes , factors which support smoking behavior , until they decided to smoke for the first time. Based the  problem to be answered in this study , the approach used is a qualitative approach . A qualitative approach is the approach that seeks to understand the phenomenon of human behavior by the offender's appreciation , or through the viewpoint of the study subjects ( Dooley , 1984) . Cases selected according to the purpose of the study . small number of cases can give good example of the phenomenon being studied ( Poerwandari , 1998) .
    Another cause for the rise of teenage smoking is because they want to try it because they see cigarette people who smoke look delicious and they are curious .  

  

   Based on the statement i was courious about the truth so i did some interview with my neighbour. He became a smoker since he in the second grade of junior high school.

     Cigarettes be a best friend for him, there are so many reason that make him smoke cigarettes. First , he  fell prestige with their friends. When he  do hangout with his friend and gather with them ,so his friend will insult the boy who doesn’t want to smoke, so that he start to smoke. Second he doesn’t want  if his friend call him “CUPU “, because that include of  his social status. Third many friends said that  smoke make them look so cool. In their habit smoke is on of their habitual action that they think can make them look so cool than the teenagers who doesn’t do that. Fourth he fell comfort when he smoke, as we know that in the cigarette there are addictive liquid so that can make the smokers fell comfortable and happy when they do this. Fifth he got much money from their parents so he can buy what he want , to makes they be a cool boy. Finally smoke be his habit and become his basic needs.

    Actually the first time he smoke is just follow and try what his friends did and because every day he saw his father. Then the problems experienced by individuals such as family problems, school problems, and other problems make the individual more and more encouraged to start smoking.  do that so thats the enviroment be the most influential effect.

MY FIRST SPEECH

Two years ago, when i was in the first semester in University of Muhammadiyah Metro. I took english department in this university that make me should have good enough ability in speaking english, not only speaking but also the other skill. I didn’t have enough confidence when the lecturer asked me to speak english. I felt sad, I’m afraid if maked mistake when I speak english.

I got some information about English dormitory in this city , so I with some of my friends decided to register in that dormitory the name is IDeA Indonesia. The first week i started study there but i haven’t stayed there yet ,because my bed room haven’t ready. When the first day I stayed there, I felt like I’m a stupid girl, why ? because most of student there are an elementary student and they have good really good ability in speaking. I felt like i don’t want to speak anything, me and my friends just silent all the day. In the dormitory all of the student should spoke English where ever and whenever they go and they do, even the  security,and although we in the bathroom we should spoke English ,if we spoke ‘bahasa’ although one word so we will got punishment from our dormitory principle. Because we are the new student there so the dormitory principle gave us free for on month to mix our words.

In the dormitory there is speech after prayed, we have a schedule to delivered our speech in front of all of the people in the dormitory. Around one week i stayed there I begun fell comfortable with the situation with my new life there, and my world is changing when i got my first schedule to speech. I didn’t know what should i do ? my english not good, i still adaptation with this place ? why must me ? oh God. Suddenly my heart beat I fell confused , and i must prepared just 5 day to speech. After studied at 08.00 i ask my dormitory principle to guide me to made a speech, she asked me what topic that you have prepared? I just silent , i didn’t know about that , than she told me to think about the topic first than met her again. I felt so gloomy, i wanna cry. I wanna go home! Than i went to gazebo in the garden there my friends and some of my instructure still talked together,and I told them about my problem,but they just laugh at me , and suddenly because I felt confuse with the situation,so I cried. I cried louder until security ,and some of elementary student there looked at me, they asked me why i cry ? but I didn’t answer and still cry until one of my instructure said if he want to guide me to make a speech, than he guide me , give me an idea ,topic and finally i chose education topic with the title “education system in Indonesia.

 After I finished make the text of speech every day I practice with my instructure and where ever i go i always brought my text of speech. Until the day of my hell day came , in the Monday after Maghreb which there are a lot of student there, and my heart beat when the instructure asked me to come in front and delivery my speech , because this my fist time to speech so all of the students, dormitory principle and even the managing director of IDeA Indonesia they looked at me ! i can’t say what i felt at the time. I tried to manage my self I didn’t have enough brave to see their face until i finish my speech. Around 5 minutes i delivered my speech and the time for judge my self come.

 After speech always there is an evaluation from instructure or managing director , because there is managing director so he gave me some comment , i was so afraid to hear his voice, but unpredictable and unfortunately he gave me two thumb that means my speech good, and he said if i have a good ability for the beginners. Oh i was so happy at the time and i can smile after that. After finish prayed i meet my instructure who guide me and i said so much thanks for him. That was unforgettable moment and experience from that speech i can build my confidence to speak.

Thats all about the hardest thing I have to do , but from that speech I can learn and increase my confident and my ability in speaking English , and I’m not afraid to make mistakes in speaking, because everything begin from the mistakes.
