PERJALANAN STUDENTS PARTNERSHIP SINGAPURA & MALAYSIA (Selesai)
Hari keempat, kelima dan keenam di Malaysia
Kamis, 16 Februari 2012 pukul 05.00 pagi kami sudah harus berkemas check-out dari villa Changi untuk melanjutkan agenda berikutnya menuju Malaysia tepatnya Johor Bahru. Dua agenda resmi di Johor Bahru yaitu kunjungan ke SMK Sultan Ismail dan Konsulat Jenderal Republik Indonesia (KJRI) Johor.
Kamis, 16 Februari 2012 pukul 05.00 pagi kami sudah harus berkemas check-out dari villa Changi untuk melanjutkan agenda berikutnya menuju Malaysia tepatnya Johor Bahru. Dua agenda resmi di Johor Bahru yaitu kunjungan ke SMK Sultan Ismail dan Konsulat Jenderal Republik Indonesia (KJRI) Johor.
Sekitar pukul 06.00 kami meninggalkan villa Changi dengan menggunakan bus menuju terminal Queen Street, dari sini kami naik bus lagi menuju check-point melewati imigrasi Singapura-Malaysia. Di Check-point Malaysia sudah menunggu bus yang akan membawa kami menuju SMK Sultan Ismail Johor.
Pukul 10.30 tiba di SMK Sultan Ismail Johor. Begitu bus travel kami tiba di Gerbang SMK Sultan Ismail, Kepala Sekola, guru dan sebagian siswa SMK Sultan Ismail sudah bersiap menyambut kedatangan kami. Hal yang berbeda terjadi pula di sekolah ini, turun dari bus kami langsung dipersilakan duduk di kursi yang sudah disediakan di depan Aula sekolah, disana fotographer sudah siap, ternyata sambutan pertama adalah melakukan foto bersama dengan mereka. Setelah itu, baru kami diajak masuk menuju aula pertemuan yang sudah dipersiapkan.
Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sultan Ismail yang dikenal dengan SSI (Sekolah Sultan Ismail) didirikan pada tahun 1960. Seiring dengan perkembangan dan kemajuannya, SSI terus memacu prestasi dan kualitasnya, sehingga pada tahun 1999, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sultan Ismail telah naik statusnya sebagai Sekolah Kawalan. Kemudian, pada tahun 2007, SMK Sultan Ismail telah meningkat lagi sebagai Sekolah Tonggak dalam membantu peningkatan kecemerlangan akademik daerah Johor Bahru. Dan sekarang, SSI telah menyandang Sekolah Kluster Kecemerlangan mungkin kalau di Indonesia sebagai unggul dan berprestasi baik. Sehingga Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sultan Ismail, Johor Bahru bukan saja terkenal di seluruh negeri Johor tetapi juga di seluruh negara.
Penerimaan yang dilaksanakan di SSI ini sangat berbeda dengan yang dialami Maha Bodhi School Singapura, di sekolah ini penerimaan ceremonial dilaksanakan seperti halnya yang biasa kita lakukan di Indonesia, ada Pembawa Acara (MC), Sambutan-sambutan, dll. Dalam Sambutan Kepala SMK Sultan Ismail, Puan Hj. Halimah sangat gembira sekali dengan kedatangan rombongan SMP Negeri 1 Ciamis, bahkan beliau bersedia untuk dilanjutkan pada suatu kerjasama dalam bentuk MoU.
Setelah serah terima cinderamata, kami diajak berkeliling sekolah untuk melihat-lihat situasi lingkungan dan fasilitas-fasilitas yang ada di SMK Sultan Ismail. Sarana dan prasarana pembelajaran yang sudah lengkap, walaupun dengan fasilitas minimalis didukung manajemen sekolah yang sudah tertib sehingga pantas bahwa sekolah ini menjadi sekolah unggulan di Johor Baru Malaysia. Hal ini karena dukungan penuh dari Pemerintah Malaysia yang sangat memperhatikan dunia pendidikan.

GALERI BIOLOGI
LOBI SEKOLAH
Sekitar pukul 14.00, kami berpamitan kepada Kepala Sekolah dan guru di SMK Sultan Ismail. Selanjutnya kami menuju KJRI Johor yang sudah menanti kehadiran rombongan SMPN 1 Ciamis.
Pukul 14.30 tiba di KJRI Johor, kami diterima oleh Konsulat Johor ibu Wowor beserta stafnya bapak Ridwan. Kami diterima di Meeting room KJRI Johor. Hal yang cukup menggembirakan di KJRI Johor, disini sudah disiapkan hidangan makan siang. Dimana sudah sekitar 4 hari tidak menemukan makanan rasa Indonesia, dan di KJRI Johor ini kami dapat merasakan kembali nikmatnya makanan rasa Indonesia. Tentu saja tanpa rasa malu kami makan cukup lahap, karena mungkin juga kondisi yang sudah cukup lapar setelah perjalanan cukup melelahkan dari Singapura.
Sekitar pukul 17.00, kami harus meninggalkan KJRI Johor yang merupakan agenda resmi terakhir, untuk selanjutnya menuju Genting High Island.
Pukul 21.30, kami mulai perjalanan dari Johor menuju Genting High Island. Perjalanan malam yang cukup panjang namun nyaman, karena bus yang kami tumpangi memang nyaman didukung jalan yang dilalui juga nyaman tanpa ada benjolan-benjolan.
Sekitar 6 jam kemudian barulah sampai di Genting, hari Jum’at, 17 Februari 2012 pagi sekitar pukul 04.00. Di Genting High Island ini rombongan bisa menikmati keindahan Kota di Puncak Gunung. Rasa lelah pun seolah tak terasa dan hilang seketika. Peserta pun tidak ingin kehilangan kesempatan untuk menghabiskan waktunya dengan permainan-permainan menarik yang ada di Genting. Disini kami menginap satu malam, sebagian ada di lantai 19 dan sebagian lagi ada di lantai 10. Walaupun kamar kami agar berjauhan karena begitu banyaknya pendatang yang menginap, namun hal ini tidak menjadi kendala, komunikasi bisa berjalan lancar dan peserta tetap terjaga.
Sabtu, 18 Februari 2012 tibalah saat-saat akhir perjalanan. Pukul 08.00 kami harus berkemas check-out dari Genting menuju Changi airport Singapura untuk pulang ke tanah air Indonesia. Tiba di Changi airport sekitar pukul 17.30 dan langsung bersiap melakukan boarding pass. Pukul 21.00 Lion Air yang kami tumpangi tinggal landas dari Changi airport dan tiba di bandara Soekarno-Hatta pukul 10.30 (WIB). Di depan bandara sudah siap Bus Travel yang menjemput kami menuju Ciamis.
Alhamdulillah, berkat dukungan dan do’a dari keluarga dan rekan-rekan semua, hari Minggu, 19 Februari 2012 kami sudah berada di sekolah tercinta SMP Negeri 1 Ciamis. Disambut haru orang tua peserta yang bisa bertemu kembali putra-putrinya, dan istri serta anak-anak guru pembimbing atas kembali berkumpulnya ayah yang sudah menempuh perjalanan yang cukup melelahkan dan misi tugas yang menuntut TANGGUNG JAWAB dan KERJASAMA sehingga STUDENTS PARTNERSHIP – SMP NEGERI 1 CIAMIS TAHUN 2012 dapat terlaksana dengan lancar dan sukses sesuai dengan harapan.
Semoga tahun depan Students Partnership dapat terlaksana lagi dengan peserta yang berbeda dan pelaksanaan yang lebih sukses lagi.
Amin.

PERJALANAN STUDENTS PARTNERSHIP SINGAPURA & MALAYSIA (3)
Hari ke tiga di Singapura
DI MERLION
DI UNIVERSAL STUDIO
Rabu, 15 Februari 2012 merupakan hari bebas bagi rombongan karena tidak ada agenda kunjungan formal ke sekolah. Namun, sengaja disediakan untuk lebih mengenal situasi budaya secara umum masyarakat di Singapura. Agenda kami pada hari tersebut adalah; Mengenal system transportasi MRC (sarana transportasi kereta di Singapura), Bus umum yang sitem ticketnya menggunakan City Link yang harus di TAP. Karena sistem transportasi umum di Singapura hanya ada 3 jenis yaitu: Kereta, Bus, dan Taxi. Sehingga pada hari itu kami berkeliling Singapura menggunakan alat transportasi tersebut untuk mengunjungi tempat-tempat diantaranya Sentosa, Merlion, Orchad, Beach dan tempat-tempat belanja seperti Bugis, Lucky Plaza, Little India, dll. Dengan kegiatan ini siswa jadi mengenal system transportasi di Negara maju yang sudah tidak menggunakan “Pembayaran Cash” ataupun ticket seperti yang masih dilaksanakan di negera kita.
DI MERLION
DI UNIVERSAL STUDIO
Hal yang tidak kalah penting adalah ketertiban masyarakat yang patuh dan taat aturan seperti: “Kebersihan Lingkungan” masyarakat tidak ada yang membuang sampah sembarangan sehingga lingkungan senantiasa bersih dan terpelihara keindahannya, “Budaya Antri” disetiap layanan umum masyarakat tidak mau mendahului orang yang sudah lebih dulu datang, mereka sabar untuk antri dibelakang, “Tidak Merokok di Tempat Umum” para perokok tidak berani merokok diruangan maupun tempat-tempat dimana banyak orang sedang berkerumun apalagi di dalam Bus atau Kereta, para perokok biasanya merokok di tempat terbuka atau yang ada tempat sampah.
Banyak hal yang patut dicontoh dan khususnya bagi para peserta untuk dijadikan pembelajaran sebagai generasi yang diharapkan dapat mereka aplikasikan dan diimbaskan kepada rekannya khususnya di sekolah.................................................
PERJALANAN STUDENTS PARTNERSHIP SINGAPURA & MALAYSIA (2)
Hari kedua di Singapura
Selasa, 14 Februari 2012 pukul 08.00 setelah sarapan pagi, kami sudah siap melakukan perjalanan berikutnya menuju Maha Bodhi School Singapore. Maha Bodhi School yang terletak di No. 743, Geylang Road, didirikan pada tanggal 12 Januari 1948 atas prakarsa dari suatu yayasan pendidikan agama Budha. Namun, walaupun prakarsanya berawal dari agama Budha, sekolah ini merupakan sekolah umum, dimana para siswanya bukan hanya yang beragama Budha tetapi dari agama-agama lain pun bersekolah disini.
Tiba di Maha Bodhi School sekitar pukul 08.45 (15 menit sebelum agenda yang dijadwalkan).
Seperti penerimaan di tempat sebelumnya yaitu KBRI dan SIS, di pintu gerbang Maha Bodhi School yang tinggi dan megah, kami sudah disambut menuju meeting room yang sudah dipersiapkan pula untuk kedatangan kami. Namun, di Maha Bodhi ini berbeda dengan penerimaan di KBRI ataupun di SIS yang ceremonial seperti halnya kegiatan2 penyambutan yang biasa di lakukan di Indonesia. Walaupun acara dilakukan di sebuah meeting room, namun penerimaan terasa lebih familiar, karena tidak ada acara ceremonial seperti adanya Pembawa Acara (MC), dan sambutan2 lain yang penuh formalitas. Kami langsung diperkenalkan dengan Kepala Sekolah Maha Bodhi School, dan setelah menyapa beliau memperkenalkan tentang kondisi sekolahnya sekaligus memaparkan agenda yang sudah mereka jadwalkan untuk kegiatan kami disana, yaitu:
a) Perkenalan sekolah di meeting room
b) Mengenal lingkungan sekolah
c) Masuk kelas Bahasa Inggris (bagi siswa peserta), sementara guru melakukan dialog dengan Kepala Sekolah beserta staf manajemen Maha Bodhi di meeting room.
d) Serah terima cindera mata.
Mungkin itulah yang dirasakan agak berbeda di Maha Bodhi School. Kami diajak berdikusi dan berdialog tentang sekolah, system pembelajaran juga bertanya tentang tujuan kami berkunjung ke sana. Bahkan, setelah mereka mendengarkan tentang paparan kami, pada akhirnya mereka tertarik dan berencana untuk berkunjung ke SMPN 1 Ciamis.
Maha Bodhi School terdiri dari 4 lantai bangunan dengan difasilitasi “lift” untuk menuju lantai 2 s.d. 4, serta memiliki fasilitas pembelajaran yang sudah lengkap. Sekolah ini merupakan salah satu sekolah yang memiliki prestasi dan maju dalam kegiatan-kegiatan ekstrakurikuler. Salah satu kegiatan rutin siswa yang diperkenalkan adalah kegiatan berkebun di halaman sekolah yang terdiri dari tanaman sayuran sertan tanaman-tanaman lain yang kita kenal dengan “Warung Hidup”. Setiap pagi mereka bertugas menyiram kebun tersebut secara bergiliran. Selain itu ada kolam yang di isi dengan ikan-ikan, namun untuk kolam ini mereka tidak boleh memberi makan ikan secara sembarangan.
Untuk fasilitas kegiatan pembelajaran, selain di dalam kelas ada pula tempat-tempat belajar di luar kelas. Tempat untuk kegiatan belajar di luar kelas ini telah disediakan berupa meja-meja belajar di lorong-lorong sekolah dan halaman.

Kebun
Meja Belajar di Luar kelas
Kunjungan di Maha Bodhi School berakhir pada pukul 13.00. Karena pada hari itu adalah kunjungan tunggal, sehingga masih ada sisa waktu sebelum pulang ke Penginapan. Maka kami berkesempatan untuk melakukan refreshing “City tour” ke tempat-tempat menarik di Singapura.

Rombongan yang terdiri dari 16 orang siswa, 4 orang guru dan 2 orang dari pengurus Komite Sekolah berangkat dengan penuh kebanggaan dan rasa tanggungjawab untuk melaksanakan misi kerjasama dengan sekolah-sekolah yang sudah lebih maju di luar negeri yaitu Singapura dan Malaysia. Sekolah yang dituju yaitu Singapore Indonesian School, Maha Bodhi School Singapore, dan SMK Sultan Ismail – Johor Baru Malaysia. Selain kunjungan kerjasama ke sekolah, rombongan juga melakukan kunjungan ke KBRI Singapura dan KJRI Johor Malaysia.

Setelah selesai proses imigrasi, rombongan langsung menuju KBRI Singapura dengan bus travel yang telah di sewa sebelumnya. Sekitar pukul 11.00, rombongan tiba di KBRI Singapura. Kami diterima langsung oleh Duta Besar RI untuk Singapura bapak Andriyadi dan bapak Fachri sebagai Konsulat Pendidikan untuk Singapura di sebuah meeting room yang sudah dipersiapkan untuk menerima rombongan kami. Sambutan dan respon yang sangat baik sekali disampaikan oleh Duta Besar RI bapak Andriyadi kepada SMP Negeri 1 Ciamisyang telah bisa berkunjung ke KBRI Singapura. Kemudian bapak Fachri melakukan dialog langsung dengan para peserta selain memberikan penjelasan tentang Tugas dan Fungsi KBRI. Maka, pada saat itu terjadi tanya jawab antara bapak Fachri dengan para peserta yang ingin mengetahui tentang KBRI dan gambaran umum tentang sistem pendidikan yang dilaksanakan di Singapura.
Pada pukul 14.00, sesuai agenda yang telah direncanakan, kami menuju Sekolah Indonesia Singapura (SIS). SIS terletak di 20A Siglap Road Singapura. Sekolah ini didirikan tahun 1969. Didirikannya SIS ini ditujukan bagi putra-putri warga negara Indonesia yang bekerja atau menetap di Singapura, mulai dari tingkat TK s.d. SMA. Kurikulum yang digunakan di sekolah ini sama seperti halnya sekolah di Indonesia. Guru dan stafnya pun terdiri dari orang-orang Indonesia yang ditugaskan melalui Kementerian Luar Negeri Republik Indonesia.
Tiba di SIS sekitar pukul 15.00, kami langsung disambut oleh para siswa dan guru-guru SIS di meeting room yang telah dipersiapkan untuk menerima kehadiran kami. Setelah selesai acara ceremonial dan serah terima cinderamata dari masing-masing sekolah, kami bersiap untuk melaksanakan kegiatan persahabatan. Dalam kegiatan persahabatan ini siswa melaksanakan pertandingan basket ball dan footsal, sedangkan guru melaksanakan badminton. Acara persahabatan dibuka terlebih dahulu dengan penampilan Angklung Peserta Students Partnership SMPN 1 Ciamis yang telah dipersiapkan sebelumnya.
Kegiatan persahabatan di SIS berakhir sekitar pukul 18.00. Setelah melakukan foto bersama, selanjutnya kami meninggalkan SIS menuju penginapan yang berlokasi di Villa Changi sekitar 2 jam perjalanan dari SIS.

TEXT TYPES
TEXT TYPES
Based on generic structure and language feature dominantly used, texts are divided into several types. They are narrative, recount, descriptive, report, explanation, analytical exposition, hortatory exposition, procedure, discussion, review, anecdote, spoof, and news item. These variations are known as GENRES.
NARRATIVE
Purpose: To amuse/entertain the readers and to tell a story
Generic Structure:
1. Orientation
2. Evaluation
3. Complication
4. Resolution
5. Reorientation

3. Reorientation
Dominant Language Features:
1. Using Past Tense
2. Using action verb
3. Using adjectives
Narrative and recount in some ways are similar. Both are telling something in the past so narrative and recount usually apply PAST TENSE; whether Simple Past Tense, Simple Past Continuous Tense, or Past Perfect Tense. The ways narrative and recount told are in chronological order using time or place. Commonly narrative text is found in story book; myth, fable, folklore, etc while recount text is found in biography.
The thing that makes narrative and recount different is the structure in which they are constructed. Narrative uses conflicts among the participants whether natural conflict, social conflict or psychological conflict. In some ways narrative text combines all these conflicts. In the contrary, we do not find these conflicts inside recount text. Recount applies series of event as the basic structure
DESCRIPTIVE

Understanding Types of Text
Text can be classified into several types. The term of 'type' is sometime stated as 'genre'. These types of text are Narrative, Report, Analytical Exposition, Procedure, Recount, Spoof, Anecdote, Discussion, Description, Explanation, Review, Hortatory, News Item, etc.
These classification on type of text are based on analysis of three main elements of text. These elements of text are:
The purpose of the text; why is the text made?, what is text made for by its writer
The generic structure of the text; analyzing the used structure in composing the text, in what way is the text constructed by its writer.
The language feature; taking a look at the linguistic characterizations of the text, what kind of language feature is used to build the text by its writer.
However, a text is not pure form. It is a mixture of genre. In many examples, report text is sometime mixed with explanation text. Recount text is compromised to report or descriptive type. Texts do not always conform perfectly to the typical classifications. Understanding types of text should be aimed as understanding general guiding principles. Studying types of text should be read as studying genres, and not for a factual direction in writing a text.
Classification Essay - Everything You Need to Know
Classification here is viewed both as a simplification and an organizing tool.
By simplification, you break complex notions into a straightforward and uncomplicated grouping and organizing. This also arranges a wide array of data into a coherent order.
Classification
The process involves grouping members with a common attribute under one category. But it goes beyond this simple common sense approach. A consideration of the impetus behind the endeavor must also be explored. Why do you choose to classify the subjects according to a particular attribute?
A Unifying Standard
As expected, every single object or idea has a multitude of attributes and can be classified in a lot of ways. This can cause unduly confusion to the writer and to the reader as well if the former is unable to come to terms with the whole process.
To solve this inevitable complication, you must have a unifying principle in place (i.e. a thesis statement). This helps ensure that you are geared toward a particular direction and that you don't fall prey to the common mistakes encountered when classifying.
The list includes using too many or too little categories and choosing the wrong set of categories (quantitative and qualitative merits of the categories).
Writing Methodology
Given that you are well equipped in the arena of classification process, we go to the question of writing style. The basic rule is that you must focus on a single specific category in every paragraph. And for each paragraph, you must have a proper labeling (name the category), followed by an indication of the group's common attributes.
You then name the members of the group after which you illustrate specific examples or situations. Aside from labeling the group members' similarities, indicate what separates them from those that constitute the other categories or groups (what makes them unique from others?). You can follow this same pattern for every paragraph.
Simple Tips
Do your homework. Gaining a deep knowledge on your topic will make you better at the classifying process and will help you give it a more insightful discussion. So go on, surf through the Internet and be an expert in your chosen topic.
You can also try making your essay more convincing by setting a defining factor that separates it from other papers written in the same style. The knowledge you got from your research should be helpful. You can also go back to the basics by redefining your writing style. For one, you must follow the basic requirement in formal written communication-keep your sentences short.
It goes without saying that your sentences must be clear and concise; also avoid highfalutin words. There really is no need for flowery words in this type of composition. The best route to take is simplicity.
Another basic in written communications-start with a draft and make the necessary revisions. Writing needs a meticulousness factor and a classification essay is not any different.
