Gr. 11 Students’ Reading Log
Year 11 does reading logs. This is where they read newspaper articles and comment on them. It helps them to keep up to date with what is happening in the world as well as help them to reflect and make connections to their learning experience at SMN.

City high schools declare war on smoking. There are 116 states, 62 vocational and 16 islamic high schools who signed the declaration to keep their schools free from cigarettes. Last time, the rules of no smoking at school were only in a form of banners and stickers. It doesn’t work at all. That kind of disciplinary action can not make the students loose their bad habits of smoking.
This time the declaration involved students, teachers, employees and the whole of the school. This time, they not only put banners or stickers at the school wall, but they held a seminar explaining the dangers of smoking. SMA 73 in North Jakarta produced new disciplinary rules. Students that were caught smoking at school have to pay Rp 50.000,-
I think this kind of activity is a positive action to make a change. The seminar that was held about smoking will also warn the students about how important it is to keep their bodies healthy. The students will get an understanding about the dangers of smoking and to protect the name of the school.
I think the seminar about smoking is important to educate people especially the young generation. When I went to Jakarta, there was a little boy smoking. The person who was standing beside this young boy asked what grade he was and the boy said fourth grade. I was so surprised. How can this very little boy be smoking? I think the government has to declare a war on smoking especially for teenagers. This is also benefitted for the image of this country itself.
② Minister: 10 NZ students likely have swine flu
Response to Swine Flu, By Stephanie Rusli.
After I read this article, honestly, I felt scared about this swine flu, because this virus will cause death. I think this virus is similar to SARS, and also bird flu. They don’t have the medicine yet to help people who caught these diseases. I just hope that the government in every country will take care of this problem because there are already people who have gotten this illness. All that we can do is keep our environment clean, so we will not get any diseases.
