Indonesia signs LoI with Switzerland on vocational education
Jakarta (JP) – Indonesia and Switzerland signed a letter of intent (LoI) for cooperation to
strengthen Indonesia’s vocational education system. The cooperation will come under a
dual education-and-training system.
Switzerland Ambassador to Indonesia Yvonne Baumann said the dual system would
help students combine learning processes at school and in the workplace.
“Switzerland has consistently ranked among the world’s most competitive economies
and has one of the lowest rates of youth unemployment in the world,” she said after the
LoI signing with the Industry Ministry in Mojokerto, East Java, on Tuesday.
In addition to signing the LoI, the two parties are also seeking to assist a certain
manufacturing sector and link it with vocational schools (SMK).
The embassy has stated that to enhance bilateral relations with Indonesia Switzerland
has allocated 75 million Swiss Franc (US$74.36 million) for various development
projects in the 2017-2020 periods. The funds will be allocated for private sector
development, infrastructure, trade, and macroeconomics assistance.
Meanwhile, earlier on Tuesday, the Industry Ministry launched a demand-driven
vocational program named "Link and Match" in Mojokerto to address the lack of skilled
workers which has been a big problem that hampers the development of some
industries until now. (The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Wed, March 1, 2017 | 01:20 pm)

Fim : Bumblebee
Genre : Action & Adventure, Science
Fiction & Fantasy
Directed By : Travis Knight
Written By : Chirstina Hodson
In Theaters : Dec 21st, 2018
Background
Synopsis
On the run in the year of 1987, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small
Californian beach town. Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld), on the cusp of turning 18
and trying to find her place in the world, discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred
and broken.
Review
As civil war ravages the alien planet Cybertron – home to the Autobots and
Decepticons, Bumblebee is tasked with escaping to Earth in an attempt to
provide refuge to the Autobots. However, he loses his memory along the way
and ends up in a garage in San Francisco. Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld), is
struggling with the demise of her father as she turns 18 and decides to gift
herself a car when she encounters Bumblebee. Little does she know that he’s
on a mission and she is soon thrown into the thick of a battle for supremacy.
Director Travis Knight focuses on Charlie and her relationship with Bumblebee.
The alien robot is childlike in his mannerisms, and some of the best scenes
involve the two getting to know each other. Set in the '80s, the soundtrack
anchors the story-line especially since Bumblebee communicates mainly
through a mixture of various sound clips. Hailee Steinfeld provides the essential
human factor sorely lacking in the franchise so far. She’s far from eye -candy
as Charlie tries to find her own identity while dealing with grief. John Cena as
Agent Burns is effectively menacing but doesn’t add much other than a
standard, disruptive authoritative figure with a bone to pick.

Summary
News reports are found in newspapers and their purpose is to inform
readers of what is happening in the world around them. The social function of
news report is to inform the target readers, listeners, and viewers about events
which are considered important and relevant to them by summarizing the
event by mentioning only the important points in first paragraph and tells the
events in details by providing the details of the important points, as stated by
the sources such as authority, source person, witness. In order to have a good
news report, we should use telegraphic information about story captured in
headline, direct and indirect sentences to report the events according to
witness(es) and the source person and use past tenses. Using prepositional
phrases to state the circumstances briefly will help the readers understand the
news. Using clause will make our sentence in news report will be more
attractive.
As a text, the caption is used to explain or elaborate on published
photograph, by describing the photograph, giving context, or relating it to the
article. This can make the article more interesting to read. A good caption
must be regarded by the process of the event briefly, the participants in the
process and to make it easy understood we should put the circumstances of
the process: mostly of place and time, providing context to the picture by
using complete sentences and use of Simple Present Tense in the main
sentence, Simple Past Tense in the following sentences.
Advertisement is a short interesting functional text. The Social Function of
this text is to persuade listeners or readers to buy or to use the product or
services being advertised or to convince products, services, or events to the
public. A good ad should be clear in a purpose which built the advertisement,
product names and the target readers. Besides, Coinage will make ad more
interesting because coined words make lively and eye-catching.
Comparative and Superlative Adjective will also make ad more convincing,
while compound word will gives the readers a sense of closeness. To have a
good command so the reader will be interested, we have to use Imperative
Sentence and Disjunctive Clause.
The way to express our opinion of film, novel, and other product is to
review it. Review is an appreciation or an evaluation of a publication, such as
a movie, book, novel, etc. which contains the orientation/introduction
paragraph as its background to tell the products. Concluding statement,
opinion, recommendation should be the next paragraph which called
Evaluation by telling the chronology or characteristic of the product, film,
music, or novel. To state our opinion, it must be at the last paragraph because
it could be the conclusion for our opinion of the product, film, movie, novel or
music.
