Introduction
In this modern era, most of people have social media.
Students are no exception. This survey was conducted to find out how students
use social media in their life.
Method
The research was done by means of a questionnaire given
to the students to complete. The survey was done by 34 respondents. They were
asked to fill in the questionnaire on 6-10 May, 2016.
Findings
Of the majority, 91.2 per cent of the participants are
female. They are in the age between 18-20 years old (94.1 per cent). The
participants commonly have almost the same opinion on what they know about
social media. According to them, social media is a medium on the internet to
ease communication. Most of them (88.2
per cent) have more than one account on social media. The reason why they
create account on social media is dominated by keeping in touch with friends
(85.3 per cent).
The 34 students are next questioned on how they use
social media. 44.1 per cent do check their social media once an hour. What they
post are dominated with daily life stories (70.6 per cent), followed by
re-posting someone’s quotation (58.8 per cent). They are also interested in
friends latest updates (38.2 per cent) and have least interest in famous people
updates (8.8 per cent), although a significant majority (91.2 per cent) follow
famous people such as artist or musician. They are not always accept friend
requests (97.1 per cent) and have met some of their friends (94.1 per cent).
The participants tend to be happy when they received
more comments (70.6 per cent) rather than likes (29.4 per cent). They will
block an account if it tags them on inappropriate posts (67.6 per cent) although
the habit in using social media is to be silent reader (61.8 per cent) than
giving comments (38.2 per cent).
Conclusion
Students commonly have more than one account on social
media. They create accounts to keep in touch with friends. Checking social
media is a must in once an hour. What they usually check is their friend’s
latest updates and their own post waiting for comments. The majority of them
follow famous people, but they have least interest in the updates. They will
also block an account if it tags them on inappropriate posts, although they are
silent readers.

Letter of Opinion
News from thejakartapost.com entitled "Indonesia Rejects Israel's Latest Call for Bilateral Relations"
The letter :
Dear Editor,
I was interested to read "Indonesia Rejects Israel's Latest Call for Bilateral Relations" (04/31/2016). As we know, Indonesia supports the Independence of Palestine. That's why Indonesia seems to not have plans of making legitimate relations with Israel.
As far as I know, Indonesia has trade and tourism treaty with Israel, but don't have any diplomatic relations. I don't want to write about the religious reasons here. I think it's okay to have bilateral relations with Israel. We need to maintain good relationship with other countries. In addition, we can get many benefits from the relationship.
My suggestion is the government to re-consider this case. Having good relationship with the other will be great for a developing country like Indonesia.
