Survey Report
THE USING OF SOCIAL MEDIA
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.

Complaint Letter

Dear Tom Atkinson,
I am wriiting to complain about the latest flat rent rise.
I do appreciate living in your unit. However, I believe my budget cannot handle a rental increase at this time.
In my opinion, the rent rise is unfair due to some reasons. Firstly, the flat is in great need of repair. For your information, there are many tiny holes in my wall. The door also doesn’t close properly.
Secondly, the last rent rise was 3 months ago. Meanwhile, there are no upgrade in the flat.
Lastly, the rent increase means that I have to get third tenant. However, it is a small flat. I do not think if it will be convenient for having three tenants.
I myself know that the increase of $20 is probably necessary, but I do ask that it has to be followed by some upgrades. The wall and the door have to be fixed and please add room heater for each room.
I look forward to to your cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
DinaW

Dear Mr. Thompson,
I
am a 3rd year student of West Coast High School. I am always proud
to study here because of the good standard of curriculum and also the
professional teachers. However, as a 3rd year student, I still have
confusion in continuing my study to college.
Regarding
to that problem, I request the school to hold a university fair or similar
event. It will be great for students who still do not have enough
information about universities.
I
would be grateful if you could consider my request. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Dina Wikantari
