Oil Price will Increase Again

The predictors predict that the world oil price will reach US$150 per barel. Now the world oil price is US$132 per barel according to Indonesia Crude Price (ICP). The director Reforminer Institute Pri Agung Rakhmanto said that The government can only make a subsidy about Rp.200 trillion, actually if the world crude oil rises to US$150 per barrel, then the subsidy can blow to Rp.260 trillion. If this happen, the government doesn't have any choice except he rises the domestic oil price again. According to Pri, the increasing of the world crude oil is not controlled by OPEC. Because of that, the oil price is still climbing up. Nevertheless, it doesn't really affect the developed nations because their consumption of oil becoming less and they start to use alternative energy.

Handout Chp. 3

From the handout chapter 3, I learned about facts, quotations, and statistics. Facts consist of opinions factor, opinions is subjectively based on person's beliefs, and facts is objectively based on reality or truth. It is important to make a paragraph or an essay with these two kinds of topic to support the story. Secondly, quotation is like taking someone else sources to support paragraph, but it divided into two kinds of quotes, such as direct and indirect. In direct quotes, we copy another person's work and put them in quotation symbols ("), and indirect quotes, instead of copy another person's work with quotation symbols, we put "According to A" or "B believes that". Third, statistics is one of the great sources of graph to support the details on the paragraph or essay. Finally, these three topics are very significant to support good and interesting writings, or even presentations.

handout chapter 3

In this chapter, I learn about facts, opinion, quotation, and statistics. The first one is facts and opinions, opinions are subjective, while facts are objective. That is the big difference between facts and opinion, and usually facts contain numbers from research. The second one is quotation. Quotation is one way to support our idea by taking some one's word, but we have to cite the source to avoid plagiarism. Quotation divided into two parts, which are direct quotation and indirect quotation. There are two ways to use the direct quotation, which are reporting verbs and phrases, and punctuation direct quotation. Indirect quotation can be used with changing the tenses of the sentence. The last one in this chapter is statistics. This is the other way to support our idea, beside quotation, and do not forget to cite the source too. In conclusion, this chapter will help us to avoid plagiarism and to support our idea.
