My Discussion Essay



The Negative and Positive Impacts of
 Using Contact Lenses

         All of women surely want to have a beautiful appearance. There are many things that we can do to make our appearance more beautiful. For example, we can do it by using contact lenses. Nowadays, the using of contact lenses is very familiar for everyone. However, many people argue that using contact lenses have negative impacts. Are contact lenses bad or good? We should not judge that contact lenses are bad or good because some people actually have different arguments about the using of contact lenses. There are several arguments about the negative and positive impacts of using contact lenses.
         The first argument why people argue that using contact lenses have negative impacts is contact lenses can make people uncomfortable. Based on a student of Jakarta’s blog who named Monika Ata, the user of contact lenses will feel awkward. It happens when they are using contact lenses at the first time. They will feel something strange in their eyes, so they are only busy to think about contact lenses in their eyes. The sense of discomfort in their eyes will surely interrupt their daily activities.
          The second argument why people argue that using contact lenses have negative impacts is contact lenses will make our eyes swollen, reddened, and irritation. According to Dr. Charlotte Joslin, there are sixty three cases which are the result of using contact lenses. These cases usually happen about two until three cases every year. It also has given evidences that contact lenses will increase the risk of irritation in the eyes. Moreover, the user of contact lenses has sensitive eyes.
          The third argument why people argue that using contact lenses have negative impacts is contact lenses will involve blindness. Based on Monika Ata’s blog, contact lenses can cause blindness. For example, the user of contact lenses forgets to remove their contact lenses. While they are sleeping, it will be harmful to their eyes because contact lenses will move in their eyes, so when they wake up, their vision will be blurred and it can cause blindness over time. In addition, according to merderka.com, a student of Taiwan who uses contact lenses never removes it within six months. Moreover, she uses contact lenses when she is swimming. As a result, she gets blindness.         
         The last argument why people argue that using contact lenses have negative impacts is the lack of oxygen. According to JapanShop.com, our eyes need oxygen because it will work well in the condition of sufficient oxygen. The lack of oxygen in the eyes can be caused by using of contact lenses. The user of contact lenses who uses it for a long time will reduce the content of water in the eyes, so it makes eyes dry out.
          Some people disagree with these arguments. They argue that using contact lenses have positive impacts. According to WordPress.com, contact lenses can help the vision, especially for people who suffer nearsighted. For instance, Ayu Chintia, a midwife student. She has been using glasses since she was in elementary school and she is using contact lenses now. She said, “contact lenses provide assistance to my vision. It can also minimize the distance of eyes until I get better sharpness of my eyes. In addition, the corner of my vision is wider because contact lenses immediately attach in the eyes. I do not need to use glasses anymore.”
          Another positive impact is contact lenses can increase self-confidence for the user. Based on a student of Jakarta’s blog named Fitriana Lestari, women have no self-confidence if they are using glasses. They can use contact lenses to get back their self-confidence. Furthermore, most of people who have small eyes can use contact lenses. As a result, their eyes can be more beautiful.
          The last argument why people argue that using contact lenses have positive impacts is people can support their daily activities. A student of Gunadarma University who named Wati Puspitasari, said that people who have specific job usually needs contact lenses, so they can be free to move. For example, athletes, dancers, singers, artists, and people who work in rainy. They will be free to do whatever they want by using contact lenses than using glasses.
          To sum up, there are many impacts of contact lenses: negative impacts and positive impacts. However, the impact of contact lenses can be negative or positive. It depends on the user of contact lenses. Their way in using and keeping their contact lenses really affect themselves. The user of contact lenses should be diligent to keep their eyes health. One of them is by checking their eyes health and doing consultation with the doctor.

Strategies to Pass Essay Writing Succesfully



The Way that I am Going to Do to Pass
Essay Writing Successfully

          After I passed paragraph writing course last semester, I hope I will pass essay writing course this semester. Essay writing is surely more difficult than paragraph writing. To pass this course, I will take a lesson from my experience last semester. There are four ways that I am going to do to pass this course successfully and get a better result than before.
          Firstly, I will concentrate on the lesson that the lecturer explain. I did not probably concentrate on the lesson that the lecturer explained last semester. I looked at the lecturer, but my mind did not concentrate on the lesson. When the lecturer gave exercise or homework, I did not understand and felt confused. Because I did not understand, I surely asked my friends to help me. This thing is the lesson for me to continue essay writing course. I must concentrate on the lesson that the lecturer explain.
          Secondly, I will be active in the class. I was not probably active in the class last semester. I was shy asking questions about the lesson. It made me not active in the class. Actually, I wanted to ask questions, but I was worried rising my hand. I also wanted to answer questions, but I was afraid making a wrong. I take a lesson from there. I will change my way of studying in the class. I will be active and try to be brave asking questions.
          Thirdly, I will be diligent doing exercise or homework. I was probably lazy doing homework last semester. I did homework in a day before it will be given to lecturers, so I hurried to finish it. In this semester, I will do homework faster than before, so I do not hurry to finish it.
          Finally, I will be diligent reading the book. I was probably lazy reading the book last semester, so I did not understand about the lesson. I bought the book, but I did not read and review the lesson in the book. In this semester, I will try to be diligent reading the book, reviewing the lesson, and doing exercise in the book even though the lecturer does not ask to do it.

The Experience in Studying Writing Last Semester



My Experience in Studying Writing

          Writing is one of the courses that I like. It is not only at this time, but I like writing since I was in junior high school.  Writing needs a long time to finish it because I have to find ideas and express my mind in the brain first. Nevertheless, I still enjoy in studying writing. When I studied paragraph writing last semester, I got spirit. I tried to write a paragraph. After I finished, I showed it to the lecturer. My lecturers were Mr. Saunir and Ms. Witri Oktavia.
          Ms. Witri Oktavia is a lecturer who is good in explaining the lesson. So that, I understood what she explained. Besides, there were things that made me confused. When I did exercise, I felt great, but the result was not suitable as I want. I asked to myself and I said, “Where is the place of the error?” I also felt that my post had a good grammar. In the end, I knew the place of the error. It happened because of my carelessness in writing. My post was not coherence and had no continuity. I take the lesson that studying writing is not easy and it needs seriousness.
          Mr. Saunir had a different way with Ms. Witri in teaching. Mr. Saunir just gave exercise to do at home, and it will be presented in front of the class. Moreover, it will be corrected together. Mr. Saunir did not give the point of homework, but I just found the error of the post. Because he gave exercise to do at home, I could finish it perfectly.
          There is a weakness of some students in writing include me. Writing at home can get more concentration than writing in the campus. I can develop, improve, and edit my post if I am at home while I must hurry to finish my post if I am in the campus, so I could not finish my post perfectly. For example, when I did final examination last semester, I got difficulty to find ideas and felt worry. If my post could not finish perfectly, I was afraid because the time was limited. In the end, I could finish it perfectly in final examination last semester. I tried to do the best for my post and I have already pray that I will get a good result. Eventually, I got a good result and gave thanks to Allah.
          In conclusion, I can take a lesson from my experience in studying writing last semester. In this semester, I will try to improve my writing skills. I hope that I will be able to get a better result than before.
