Bicycle and its main parts

Riding a bicycle is a great way to get around. Bicycles are quiet, fun to ride, and you don't need gas or electricity to make them go. You just use the power of your legs!

Bicycles have two wheels. One wheel is in front of the other. You swing your leg over the bike, sit down, and start pedaling. 

The heart of every bicycle is its frame. Most bicycles have frames made of thin metal tubes. The best frames are light and strong. A seat, called a saddle, is in the middle of the frame. You can make the seat higher or lower.

Bicycle wheels usually have wire spokes. Spokes help the wheel keep its round shape. Inflatable tires fit on the wheels. The wheels have breaks for stopping.

A bicycle has handlebars. You use the handlebars to steer and help you balance on two wheels. Most bikes have brake levers on the handlebars. You squeeze the levers to make the brakes work.

Pedals and a chain make a bike go. You put your feet on the pedals and push. The pedals go around and around. The turning pedals move a chain. The chain goes to the back wheel. The chain goes around a part called a cog. The moving chain makes the cog on the back wheel turn.

Most bicycles have a gearshift attached to the frame or the handlebars. Bikes usually have from 5 to 27 gears. Bicycle gears have a part called a derailleur. The derailleur shifts the chain to lower or higher gears. You use a lever to shift gears.

You use low gears for going up a hill. You use high gears for going faster, usually on flat roads or downhill.

OST (Original Soundtrack) of BROWNIES

"Bisa Saja" is choosen as the first single of the album and theme song of BROWNIES, since the lyric reflects the story in the movie.

Budjana of GIGI demonstrates his skills in playing acoustic guitar in "Cinta Terakhir". Three other brand new songs, "Dilema", "Jangan Bilang Pacarku" and "Semua Orang Berhak Mendapat Rasa Bahagia", give supporting nuances to the movie flow as GIGI composed them by imanaging how the scenes would look like based the screenplay.

When Hanung Bramantyo, the director and Dewa Budjana of GIGI chatted, Budjana expressed his interest in making a soundtrack album. Then, he recommended a few of GIGI songs, which the producer accepted because of the chemistry they created with the movie.

Since GIGI can provide a variety of colours to add all kinds of musical nuances to enrich the movie, the producer deemed it unnecessary to find other musicians to complete OST of BROWNIES.

Armand Maulana (vocalist), I Gede Dewa Budjana (guitarist), Thomas Ramdhan (bass player), and Gusti Erhandy (drum-stand-in-player for Budhi Haryono) put a lot of effort into this album. As a result, they've created perfect blend of movie and songs that makes BROWNIES tastier.

It's always fun to have a piece of brownies in your mouth. But having it in your stereo set is more entertaining. No movie is perfect without musical score and OST of BROWNIES has proved it excellent.  

The Transportation

Some people think transport is very helpful. People think it is good because it moves us around. It takes us to places we can't reach on foot. It helps people to meet and say 'hi' to each other. Transport can move people quickly. Transport is more comfortable than walking. It will carry object and people at the same time. It can help by saving our own energy. Some people think transport is bad because it can pollute the air or have oil leaks. It can easily kill people in accidents. Tranport is sometimes very noisy. It can cause traffic jams. Sometimes it causes stress, frustration and road rage. It also uses up our natural resources. Transport will be perfectly good if we are careful.

Do Women Deserve Higher Education?

The issue we are discussing is whether women need higher education or not. Some people think that there is no use for women to get higher education, for women’s main role is in their household and surronding. Thus, knowing about practical household management is sufficient for women to lead their lives.

Moreover, higher education does not ensure women get a better life, so why bother about it? There are many examples of women who succeed in their lives though they enjoy only average education. They succeed in managing their household, education their children and participating in community activities.

On the other hand, some other people believe that women also have right to pursue higher education. They claim that education is important for everyone, including women, because it is one way to improve the quality of life. Therefore, every women must get education as high as they can pursue.

A further point they make is that higher education is not just the matter af achieving a better position in a community or working sphere. More importantly, it is the way to empower women and to give them better understanding of life and universe.

In summary, women have the same right as men’s to get higher education. However, it is also their right to take the chance or just to leave it.

Career Women

In modern world, women have the benefit from the wider chance of getting a career outside their household sphere. Many women, however, have some difficulties deciding whether they will pursue a career or not. Some of them stay at their offices, while at the same time they act as a housewives. But, the others choose to concentrate their attention to their household only.

Being career women offers the advantage of a wider chance of self-actualisation. They can widen their knowledge and develop their capacity. For example, many women do not know exactly what is their talent before they start a career. But then, after they have a career they know which field they can do best and which one day cannot. This will help them to refocus their life goal.

Another big advantage is that they can help supporting their household’s finance so that men do not become the single fighter in financing their families. For example, if a wife works, she can help her husband financing their children’s educational budget, so that their children can have the best education.

Being career women, on the other hand, has some significant disadvantage, too. They have more burdens in their life, as they have to manage their job as well as their household. For example, a female teacher has to prepare teaching material for tomorrow class while at the same time she has to think about how to handle her naughty son.

In addition, being career women can be risky for their household. For example, many women have to spend their time more in their career as it grows more challenging, so they have only limited time left for their family, resulting in their lack of care and attention for their husband and children. The extreme impact of this situation is the broken home.

In the end, the decision that each women makes will depend on their own personal values, as well as their readiness for taking on the considerable consequences of each choice.

Terjemahan dalam bahasa Indonesia

Dalam dunia modern, wanita mendapatkan keuntungan dari kesempatan yang lebih luas untuk mendapatkan karir di luar lingkup rumah tangga mereka. Banyak wanita, bagaimanapun, memiliki beberapa kesulitan memutuskan apakah mereka akan mengejar karir atau tidak. Beberapa dari mereka berada di kantor mereka, sementara pada saat yang sama mereka bertindak sebagai ibu rumah tangga. Tapi, yang lain memilih untuk memusatkan perhatian mereka untuk rumah tangga mereka saja. Menjadi wanita karier menawarkan keuntungan dari kesempatan yang lebih luas mengaktualisasi diri. Mereka dapat memperluas pengetahuan mereka dan mengembangkan kemampuan mereka. Sebagai contoh, banyak wanita tidak tahu persis apa bakat mereka sebelum mereka memulai karir. Tapi kemudian, setelah mereka memiliki karir mereka tahu bidang mana yang dapat mereka kuasai dan yang suatu hari tidak bisa. Ini akan membantu mereka untuk memfokuskan kembali tujuan hidup mereka.
Keuntungan besar lain adalah bahwa mereka dapat membantu mendukung keuangan rumah tangga mereka sehingga pria tidak menjadi petarung tunggal dalam membiayai keluarga mereka. Misalnya, jika seorang istri bekerja, dia bisa membantu suaminya membiayai anggaran pendidikan anak-anak mereka, sehingga anak-anak mereka dapat memiliki pendidikan yang terbaik.

Menjadi wanita karier, di sisi lain, memiliki beberapa kelemahan yang signifikan juga. Mereka memiliki lebih banyak beban dalam hidup mereka. Misalnya, seorang guru wanita harus mempersiapkan bahan ajar untuk kelas besok sementara pada saat yang bersamaan ia harus memikirkan tentang bagaimana menangani anaknya yang nakal.

Selain itu, menjadi wanita karier dapat berisiko bagi rumah tangga mereka. Sebagai contoh, banyak wanita harus menghabiskan waktu mereka lebih dalam karier mereka seperti menumbuhkan lebih banyak  tantangan, sehingga mereka hanya memiliki sisa waktu yang terbatas untuk keluarga mereka, sehingga kurangnya kepedulian dan perhatian untuk suami dan anak-anak. Dampak yang ekstrim dari situasi ini adalah keluarga yang berantakkan.

Pada akhirnya, keputusan yang setiap wanita  buat akan tergantung pada nilai-nilai pribadi mereka sendiri, serta kesiapan mereka untuk mengambil konsekuensi besar pada setiap pilihan.
