Abstract

Conflict can be defined as the contest between people of diverse needs, ideas, values, goals, or beliefs. In a team, conflict is always inevitable. Conflict, if not properly handled may escalate to bring disastrous outcome. But if properly handled can lead to more positive outcome. Therefore, knowledge of how to handle conflicts is very important in achieving cohesiveness in a team. Most often many people do not go hunting conflict but rather it arises from miscommunications between people. It is important to note that not all conflicts can be resolved. In an organization, the conflicts should always be solved in bid to make the clients happy. Policies that place clients on the forefront shall help a company ascend higher levels. This calls for a deep understanding on how to manage conflict when they arise so as to avoid destructive escalations.  Conflict management entails coming up with strategies that will increase the positive aspects of conflict while limiting the negative aspects.
The common cause of conflict in a team is lack of clarity in vision and common objectives. In order to avoid having conflicts, there is need to have a shared vision as well as common objectives for both individuals and teams.
There are five major modes that people use in addressing conflict. These are compromising, competing, accommodation, avoiding, and collaborating. These five modes are further categorized into two scales; cooperation and assertiveness. In a team, only modes that results into cooperation are encouraged. In any solution, the clients must have their desires taken into consideration. This is because they are a very integral part of stakeholders.

Abstract

Writing is one of the language skills which is hard for the students to do, because this activity expects them to create written product in which they demonstrate certain ideas structurally which involve the correct grammar, spelling, vocabulary and punctuation. In competence based curriculum, students are demanded to produce written texts based on certain genres. One of the genres they should create is a descriptive text. Unfortunately, sometimes students get stuck in describing something. Because of these difficulties, some efforts have been done to solve the problems. One of them is by using pictures. The teacher used pictures to motivate students to write. The purpose of this study is to find out how well the pictures give contribution to the students in writing descriptive text. An experimental design was used to gather the data, while a quantitative approach was used to analyze them. The study was taken by the eighth year students of SMP N 13 Semarang. It was conducted in two classes, experimental class and control one. The treatment was given to the experimental class; here I took class VIII B, whereas the control one, class VIII C, received the normal treatment. The result of the analysis showed that pictures contribute greatly to the students in writing a descriptive text. It can be shown by the differences of the mean score of the post-test obtained by experimental class and control class. The mean score of post-test of the experimental class was 81.3, and the control class got 73.2. It can be inferred that pictures was very effective helping the students in writing a descriptive text. Referring to my experience in conducting the research, I offer several suggestions. First, I suggest other English teachers to use pictures as their teaching media. Second, the schools should provide more sophisticated visual aids to help students in learning English.

3.      Haiku

Fall has come today

Leaves are falling everywhere

Leaving the trees bare

             

            Grab some fresh aider

            Apples crunch between your teeth

            Doughnuts warm and sweet

Pick one for yourself

Pumpkins grow in the patch

Winters on its way
