Export
The term export means shipping
the goods and services out of the port of a country. The seller of such goods
and services is referred to as an "exporter" who is based in the
country of export. Exports are one of the oldest forms of economic transfer,
and occur on a large scale between nations that have fewer restrictions on
trade, such as tariffs or subsidies. In International Trade,
"exports" refers to selling goods and services produced in the home
country to other markets.
Investopedia explains 'Export'
that most of the largest companies operating in advanced economies will derive
a substantial portion of their annual revenues from exports to other countries.
The ability to export goods helps an economy to grow by selling more overall
goods and services. One of the core functions of diplomacy and foreign policy
within governments is to foster economic trade in ways that benefit both
parties involved.
Methods of export include a
product or good or information being mailed, hand-delivered, shipped by air,
shipped by vessel, uploaded to an internet site, or downloaded from an internet
site. Exports also include the distribution of information that can be sent in
the form of an email, an email attachment, a fax or can be shared during a
telephone conversation.
Beyond increased sales,
exporting can also deliver a range of other direct and indirect benefits such
as:
1. Economies of scale - exporting can leverage your unique product
and service by increasing your customer base, resulting in economies of scale.
Exporting can also level out seasonal fluctuations in product demand to let you
use your capacity more efficiently.
2. Productivity - exporting can expose your business to new ideas,
technologies and business processes and provide opportunities to improve your
knowledge and increase your competitiveness.
3. Innovation - exposure to more competition, new technologies and
processes, different customer requirements and cultural environments can all
help boost productivity, skills and innovation.
Disadvantage of Export:
1. Hire staff to launch the export expansion
2. Subordinate short-term profits to long-term gains
3. Modify your product or packaging
4. Develop new promotional material
5. Prolonged payments
6. Acquire additional financing
7. Product alteration to fit the market demand
8. Added administrative cost
9. Increased marketing expenses and materials
10. Obtain various required export licenses
Conclusition :
1. Can expand the Indonesian market, this is one way to market their products abroad Indonesia.
2. Increased foreign exchange, thereby, increasing the country's wealth because it is one source of foreign exchange revenues.
3. Expanding employment, the extent of the market for Indonesian products, production activities in the country will increase. The more labor is needed so that the job is getting wider.
But I think the export must be limited because our own country natural resource is our. If there is a great thing and we export it we will get financial lose from our own natural resource because the country that we export our natural resource will make it to be better thing. They will export it to our country again with very high price. That mean we must limit export so our people can make thing like that but with an acceptable price.

A Gentleman Friend by Anton Chekhov
The charming Vanda, or, as she was described in her passport, the
"Honourable Citizen Nastasya Kanavkin," found herself, on leaving the
hospital, in a position she had never been in before: without a home to
go to or a farthing in her pocket. What was she to do?
The first thing she did was to visit a pawn-broker's and pawn her
turquoise ring, her one piece of jewellery. They gave her a rouble for
the ring . . . but what can you get for a rouble? You can't buy for that
sum a fashionable short jacket, nor a big hat, nor a pair of bronze
shoes, and without those things she had a feeling of being, as it were,
undressed. She felt as though the very horses and dogs were staring and
laughing at the plainness of her dress. And clothes were all she thought
about: the question what she should eat and where she should sleep did
not trouble her in the least.
"If only I could meet a gentleman friend," she thought to herself, "I
could get some money. . . . There isn't one who would refuse me, I know.
. ."
But no gentleman she knew came her way. It would be easy enough to meet
them in the evening at the "Renaissance," but they wouldn't let her in
at the "Renaissance "in that shabby dress and with no hat. What was she
to do?
After long hesitation, when she was sick of walking and sitting and
thinking, Vanda made up her mind to fall back on her last resource: to
go straight to the lodgings of some gentleman friend and ask for money.
She pondered which to go to. "Misha is out of the question; he's a
married man. . . . The old chap with the red hair will be at his office
at this time. . ."
Vanda remembered a dentist, called Finkel, a converted Jew, who six
months ago had given her a bracelet, and on whose head she had once
emptied a glass of beer at the supper at the German Club. She was
awfully pleased at the thought of Finkel.
"He'll be sure to give it me, if only I find him at home," she thought,
as she walked in his direction. "If he doesn't, I'll smash all the lamps
in the house."
Before she reached the dentist's door she thought out her plan of
action: she would run laughing up the stairs, dash into the dentist's
room and demand twenty-five roubles. But as she touched the bell, this
plan seemed to vanish from her mind of itself. Vanda began suddenly
feeling frightened and nervous, which was not at all her way. She was
bold and saucy enough at drinking parties, but now, dressed in everyday
clothes, feeling herself in the position of an ordinary person asking a
favour, who might be refused admittance, she felt suddenly timid and
humiliated. She was ashamed and frightened.
"Perhaps he has forgotten me by now," she thought, hardly daring to pull
the bell. "And how can I go up to him in such a dress, looking like a
beggar or some working girl?"
And she rang the bell irresolutely.
She heard steps coming: it was the porter.
"Is the doctor at home?" she asked.
She would have been glad now if the porter had said "No," but the
latter, instead of answering ushered her into the hall, and helped her
off with her coat. The staircase impressed her as luxurious, and
magnificent, but of all its splendours what caught her eye most was an
immense looking-glass, in which she saw a ragged figure without a
fashionable jacket, without a big hat, and without bronze shoes. And it
seemed strange to Vanda that, now that she was humbly dressed and looked
like a laundress or sewing girl, she felt ashamed, and no trace of her
usual boldness and sauciness remained, and in her own mind she no longer
thought of herself as Vanda, but as the Nastasya Kanavkin she used to
be in the old days. . . .
"Walk in, please," said a maidservant, showing her into the consulting-room. "The doctor will be here in a minute. Sit down."
Vanda sank into a soft arm-chair.
"I'll ask him to lend it me," she thought; "that will be quite proper,
for, after all, I do know him. If only that servant would go. I don't
like to ask before her. What does she want to stand there for?"
Five minutes later the door opened and Finkel came in. He was a tall,
dark Jew, with fat cheeks and bulging eyes. His cheeks, his eyes, his
chest, his body, all of him was so well fed, so loathsome and repellent!
At the "Renaissance" and the German Club he had usually been rather
tipsy, and would spend his money freely on women, and be very
long-suffering and patient with their pranks (when Vanda, for instance,
poured the beer over his head, he simply smiled and shook his finger at
her): now he had a cross, sleepy expression and looked solemn and frigid
like a police captain, and he kept chewing something.
"What can I do for you?" he asked, without looking at Vanda.
Vanda looked at the serious countenance of the maid and the smug figure
of Finkel, who apparently did not recognize her, and she turned red.
"What can I do for you?" repeated the dentist a little irritably.
"I've got toothache," murmured Vanda.
"Aha! . . . Which is the tooth? Where?"
Vanda remembered she had a hole in one of her teeth.
"At the bottom . . . on the right . . ." she said.
"Hm! . . . Open your mouth."
Finkel frowned and, holding his breath, began examining the tooth.
"Does it hurt?" he asked, digging into it with a steel instrument.
"Yes," Vanda replied, untruthfully.
"Shall I remind him?" she was wondering. "He would be sure to remember me. But that servant! Why will she stand there?"
Finkel suddenly snorted like a steam-engine right into her mouth, and said:
"I don't advise you to have it stopped. That tooth will never be worth keeping anyhow."
After probing the tooth a little more and soiling Vanda's lips and gums
with his tobacco-stained fingers, he held his breath again, and put
something cold into her mouth. Vanda suddenly felt a sharp pain, cried
out, and clutched at Finkel's hand.
"It's all right, it's all right," he muttered; "don't you be frightened!
That tooth would have been no use to you, anyway . . . you must be
brave. . ."
And his tobacco-stained fingers, smeared with blood, held up the tooth
to her eyes, while the maid approached and put a basin to her mouth.
"You wash out your mouth with cold water when you get home, and that will stop the bleeding," said Finkel.
He stood before her with the air of a man expecting her to go, waiting to be left in peace.
"Good-day," she said, turning towards the door.
"Hm! . . . and how about my fee?" enquired Finkel, in a jesting tone.
"Oh, yes!" Vanda remembered, blushing, and she handed the Jew the rouble that had been given her for her ring.
When she got out into the street she felt more overwhelmed with shame
than before, but now it was not her poverty she was ashamed of. She was
unconscious now of not having a big hat and a fashionable jacket. She
walked along the street, spitting blood, and brooding on her life, her
ugly, wretched life, and the insults she had endured, and would have to
endure to-morrow, and next week, and all her life, up to the very day of
her death.
"Oh! how awful it is! My God, how fearful!"
Next day, however, she was back at the "Renaissance," and dancing there.
She had on an enormous new red hat, a new fashionable jacket, and
bronze shoes. And she was taken out to supper by a young merchant up
from Kazan.

English Assignment - Giraffe
Kingdom : Animalia
Philum : Chordata
Class :
Mamalia
Ordo :
Artiodactyla
Familia : Girraffidae
Genus :
Giraffa
Species : G. camelopardalis
The giraffe is the tallest animal on
Earth. Male giraffes grow up to 18 feet tall (up to 5.5 meters) and weigh
roughly 1 to 2 tons. The female giraffe grows up to 16 feet tall (up to 4.5
meters).
A newborn giraffe will measure about 6 feet tall and grow about an
inch per day, doubling its height in the first year. The front legs of a
giraffe are slightly longer than the back legs. All giraffes have dark brown eyes, except when a rare albino baby is born. An 'albino baby' would have 'pink' eyes. 
Giraffes have horns blunted in which
male giraffe horns are thicker and heavier with a length of about 12
cm, which is used
to fight with rival
males. Some giraffe species have five horns on their heads.
They
are belong to herbivore animals, so they eat leaves. They are big mammals, but they're
tame. Giraffes have very long neck and legs. Their tall body help them to
identify their enemies (especially lions) while their enemies are hiding around
them. The attacks of carnivores are rarely happened because of their big body
and strong kick. Giraffes are Africa's endemic animal. They usually live in
savannas, grasslands, and other open areas in tropical zone. Their foods are
leaves on trees. Their tall body help them eat leaves in high places that can't
be gotten by other species.
Unique things :
1. A giraffe’s heart can weigh more than
24 pounds and pumps approximately 16 gallons per minute.
2. The giraffe has twice as many blood
corpuscles (blood cells) than humans do.
3. Giraffes only reach a deep sleep for
between 1 and 12 minutes. In deep sleep the neck is bent backward like a
handle, the chin touches the ground behind the tarsal joint of the stretched
hind leg, and the lower jaw rests on the shank.
When giraffe sleep
4. Usually giraffes rest standing up,
flicking their ears and keeping one eye open alternately to keep alert as they
to be ready to run away in an instant.
5. A giraffe’s tongue is like a hand
(prehensile), about 24 inches long and black in colour. They also have flexible
tounge to help them fetch leaves. Giraffes have exceptionally long tongues that are blue-black in color.
6. Giraffes drink water if it is
available but can go weeks without it. Otherwise they rely on the morning dew
and the water content of their food. At the water hole, up to 12 gallons may be
taken in at once.
While drinking, they open their legs to form inverted V.
7. The word ‘giraffe’ comes from an Arabic
word, ‘zirafah’ which means “the tallest of all”.
