Operating Procedure of LCD

Operating procedure of LCD is very easy. Almost most of the students can operate it. The first step which we have to do is turning it on by pushing the power button after we plugged the cable in. Then, we plug the VGA cable to our laptop or computer in. Next, we just need to check whether the desktop has already been displayed or not. Usually it works automatically. To display it manually, you can use a certain key in your keyboard based on the brand. So that, we just need a few of times to operate it.

The Disadvantages of Plastic

On my opinion, plastic can give many bad effects to our environment. First, I think the chemical substance in the plastic which is in the land will kill the decomposer animal like a worm. Second, the huge numbers of plastic in the land also disturb water cycles; consequently, water will be difficult to be absorbed even though there are a lot of trees. Next, we also need fuel to produce a plastic. It is about 2 million liter fuel per year that some of them are taken from a forest. It means that we need to open or explore a forest to get it. Moreover, it also can cause greenhouse effect as a result of the uses of fuel. In conclusion, plastic can disturb our life that is caused by its bad effects for our environment.

By using bicycle to school, students can save a lot of money from the fuel allocation. It seems only a few of money but we should realize that it will always increase day to day. We can imagine that we go to school at least six times a week and we are saving five thousand rupiah per day. In a week, we will save around thirty thousand rupiah. From that money, we can use for other needs which are more important for us. Next, we also contribute to keep our environment green and clean because of the reduction of the fuel emission. There are less discussion that all motor-vehicles are producing fuel emissions as a result of its engine combustion. Those emissions will contaminate our air and cause air pollution which is very dangerous for us because it will make a hole in our ozone layer broader. It will cause global warming in our earth and unpredictable weather in every part of earth. Absolutely, it will continue to disturb our lives. By using bike every day, we have reduced those risks. Besides we save our financial and our live, we also do a good thing for our health. By cycling to school, we have made our body move and produce sweat. It is really good for our health because it can make the toxic in our body out. It can avoid us from some dangerous diseases such as stroke, cancer and heart. Consequently, we can make our lives longer. Cycling is also can reduce the number of traffic jam in the big city. By using bicycle, it can provide some spaces on the road because bicycle has smaller size than other vehicles such as car, motorcycle even pedicab. As a result, it will be more efficient in using the street and make us easy to go everywhere without any worry anymore.

As a small city, Mojokerto needs to develop two potential and interesting things like tourism places and industry. As a city which is located around a mountain, it has some natural places which can be used as tourism places. Most of the favorite tourism places are the natural places. There are some waterfalls there such as in Pacet and Trawas. People often come there and visit one of them. In Pacet, there are two waterfalls which can be visited by people. Its names are Coban Canggu and Coban Grenjengan. It needs to be developed because each of them has its different characteristic which makes people interesting to come there to enjoy the scenery and the adventure provided. With seventy meters high, Coban Canggu gives us a wonderful view. People can play with their children as close as possible with the water. They can touch and play the water freely. Besides, people are given a special experience to have an adventure as long as the way to reach the waterfall. People will pass at a river with many big stones to reach it. It is the only way to reach the waterfall. During on the way to the waterfall, you may find any kind of animals. People can take any picture with them. While Coban Grenjengan is located near with the swimming pool, it provides different experience to the people visiting there. The challenge is different from Coban Canggu because people have to hike a hill next to the swimming pool to reach Coban Grenjengan. People will pass a small road between an outbound and camping area. From this area, people are able to see very beautiful n broad view to the Mojokerto city. The ticket is also relatively cheap. Visitors only need to pay about IDR 3000 to enter the area. Visitors will have about one kilometers walk trip to reach the waterfall. In this waterfall, people can hike to the top of the waterfall by a footpath next to it. It has been an appeal for the tourist to visit there. Those two places are very potential to be developed in term of facilities and services to increase its quality. Besides tourism places, there is also about industrial aspect. In Mojokerto, there are a lot of home industry which produce batiks, shoes, and statues. All of those industries are spread between west-side of the city such as in Prajurit Kulon with its shoes industries, Trowulan with its statues industries and Surodinawan with Batiks and shoes industries. It needs to be developed because all of them are potential to increase the city’s economic situation.
