Learning is the
responsibility for every human. It is from children until old people. They may
also learn. Learning is not only acquired from schools. Everywhere and
everytime we can learn. Learning is acquired from education at school or we can
find it everywhere. Learning has four steps for us to do, e.g. learning to
understand, learning to speak, learning to read, and learning to write.
Learning to
understand is the first step to know situation around us. Baby can imitate to
do something as parents do this process with understanding. With this process
we can understand other people, grow up to appreciate, and respect other
people, with the result that life will be harmonious.
After we
understand, we have to speak and say what we understand to the other people.
Learning to speak started since we were baby until now, because speaking is the
first communication tool in social life, because by speaking we can understand
other people about what we think. So learning to speak is important thing in
interaction. Then we must learn to read.
Learning to read
is the third step to know what happens in the world, because by reading we can
know about what we need like people said “reading is the window of the world”.
Human life is not far from reading activity, without reading we cannot know
what is happening now.
After we learn
reading, we have to be able to write well. By writing we can express our
opinion or ideas from our mind in the real essays, with the result that what we
think is able to understand by other people. Writing can be a proof of our
skills to think.
We know that the
four steps are not easy, but we must learn hard and try, try, and try to get
them. Do not go down before you reach that. All in the beginning is difficult,
but if we do it little by little, I believe we can reach that. I believe that.
I believe, with the four steps of learning we can reach what we dream about, and learn hard is going to produce something which can be used at this moment or future. Learning hard will make us successful. I believe that
