Waspadai Tawaran Beasiswa Lewat SMS/Telepon

OXFORD NEWS. 
        Direktur Kemahasiswaan UGM Drs Haryanto MSi menghimbau kepada seluruh warga UGM, khususnya mahasiswa untuk lebih waspada terhadap penawaran beasiswa yang mengatasnamakan pimpinan universitas maupun instansi perbankan. Imbauan tersebut disampaikan agar tidak ada lagi korban yang berjatuhan akibat penipuan berkedok pemberian beasiswa kepada mahasiswa.
        Dalam beberapa waktu terakhir, UGM mendapatkan laporan pengaduan dari tiga mahasiswa yang menjadi korban penipuan. ''Kami telah mendapatkan laporan bahwa ada 3 mahasiswa yang telah menjadi korban dari modus penipuan melalui SMS maupun telepon itu. Masing-masing  korban telah mentransfer uangnya ke nomor rekening yang diminta, ada yang 2 juta, 7 juta, bahkan 40 juta,'' ungkapnya di Kampus UGM.
Selain melalui SMS maupun telepon, modus penipuan penawaran beasiswa juga dilakukan dengan mengirimkan surat pemberitahuan ke rektor, dekan, serta dosen.
Cara lain yang biasa digunakan adalah dengan mengirimkan pemberitahuan melalui surat elektronik/e-mail.
''Pihak yang melakukan penipuan ini memang sangat piawai karena mengatasnamakan menteri, Dirjen, rektor maupun direktur kemahasiswaan. SMS yang dikirimkan pun sesuai identitas lengkap mahasiswa. Cara ini memang cukup meyakinkan ditambah lagi dengan pemilihan kata yang sopan dan tertata,'' urai pria yang akrab disapa Sentot itu.
         Pada kasus ini, lanjutnya, mahasiswa yang menanggapi tawaran tersebut biasanya dipandu untuk mengirimkan mentransfer uang ke rekening pelaku. ''Para korban seperti menurut apa yang diperintahkan oleh pelaku. Mereka baru sadar setelah mentransfer uangnya ke bank, sepertinya ada unsur hipnotis dalam tindakan ini,'' paparnya.

Mekanisme Beasiswa Resmi
        Guna mengantisipasi jatuhnya korban, UGM berupaya menyebarluaskan informasi tindakan penipuan itu ke seluruh sivitas akademika UGM. Selain itu juga dengan mengirimkan surat ke Polda DIY untuk melakukan audiensi seputar persoalan di kampus.
''Kami menggandeng lembaga perbankan untuk memberikan pengarahan terhadap nasabah terhadap modus penipuan yang sedang marak dan juga men-''share'' pengalaman ini ke Paguyuban Pembantu Rektor Bidang Kemahasiswaan se-Indonesia agar tidak ada lagi korban yang berjatuhan,'' kata pria yang memang menjabat sebagai Koordinator Paguyuban Pembantu Rektor Bidang Kemahasiswaan se-Indonesia.
Dalam kesempatan itu, Dia juga menjelaskan mengenai mekanisme pemberian beasiswa secara resmi dari UGM. Jalur-jalur pemberitahuan yang dilakukan adalah melalui SMS gateway, surat, dan web site ugm.ac.id.
''Setelah ada pemberitahuan tertulis para penerima beasiswa disarankan untuk langsung menghubungi Direktorat Kemahsiswaan UGM, bukan bagian lain atau individu seperti yang ada pada SMS yang beredar saat ini,'' tambahnya.

TIPS TIPS PUBLIC SPEAKING

Menurut survei di Amerika, salah satu hal yang paling banyak ditakuti orang adalah berbicara di depan banyak orang.
Dalam suatu acara yang anda ikuti, tiba-tiba anda diminta untuk memberikan sebuah kata sambutan di depan para tamu, padahal anda tidak terbiasa melakukannya, anda maju kedepan dengan keringat dingin yang tak henti-hentinya mengalir deras, isi kepala terasa kosong, dengkul gk bisa di ajak kompromi, getaran hebat di sekitar daerah kaki dan sebagian badan,jantung tidak berdetak sebagaimana mestinya, lidah terasa kelu,kerja otak kanan dan kiri tidak singkron alhasil kata kata aneh keluar dari mulut anda, mungkin bagi sebagian orang kejadian diatas pernah dialami.
Nah dibawah ini ada beberapa tips untuk menjadi pembicara yang baik:

• Berdoa
  bisa pake “bismillah” 
• Ketahui kebutuhan audience
  pastikan mereka mendapatkan apa yang ingin mereka tau dan apa yang belum mereka tau
• Artikulasi, intonasi dan volume suara
  perhatikan kejelasan vokal suara anda, atur intonasi suara jangan berbicara terlalu datar, atur tinggi rendah suara, jangan berbicara seperti bergumam (ngerenyem), jangan berbicara terlalu pelan atau keras sesuaikan dengan banyaknya audience dan tempat.
• Bahasa tubuh

Ten Tips for Learning English as a Second Language

“What’s the best way to learn a language?”

Many students and teachers have asked this question, and the answers are as different as the people asking the question. Here I will give you several tips for learning English. They are based on my own experience in learning languages. These tips helped me when I learned a foreign language, and I hope that they will help you as you work on improving your English.

1. Want to learn.First of all, you must want to learn. If you are not interested in learning English, no class will help you, no book will help you, and no hints will make it easier. If you are not interested, you will find reasons to avoid studying, and whenever you do study, it will be very difficult. So you have to be honest with yourself. Ask yourself, “Do I really want to learn English?” If you can’t answer “yes” to this question, it is better for you to set English aside until you’re ready and willing to learn.
2. Identify your motivation.Next, you need to identify your motivation. Ask yourself, “Why do I want to learn English? Why do I want to improve my English?” Some people want to learn English to get a better job, or to be considered for a promotion. Other people may need to learn English to attend university or school. Still other people may want to learn English so they can enjoy life in America more, by being able to understand movies and TV, and make friends with their American neighbors. Each person is different, so their motivations will be different also. If you have identified your motivation, it will be easier for you to learn English, because it will help to encourage you as you learn English.
3. Set goals.Once you have identified your motivation, you can set some goals for learning English. Having goals will help you to remember what areas you want to work on, and it will help you to see your progress.Ask yourself, “What are my goals? What areas would I like to improve?” Pronunciation? Listening comprehension? Would you like to increase your vocabulary? Do you want to know what to say when you go to the bank, the doctor, shopping? Think about what your goals are, and review once in a while to see that you are making progress toward your goals.
4. Practice, practice, practice.After you have set your goals, you have a better idea of what you need to practice. Just like the athlete whose goal is the Olympics must train daily, you as a language learner must practice language every day to make progress toward your goal. We say, “Practice makes perfect.” This means the more you practice something, the better you become at it, and the fewer mistakes you will make.Specific ways to practice:
   • Speak to native English speakers as much as possible.
   • Write, write, write – letters, email, notes, etc.
   • Make phone calls to practice your English
5. Expose yourself to English as much as possible.The more you expose yourself to English, the more you get used to it and the more familiar it becomes to you. You will start to recognize what sounds right and what sounds wrong. You will also start to understand why certain words or phrases are used instead of others, and you will start to use them in your own conversations and writing. English will start to become a habit, and little by little you will find it easier to use English.Specific ways to increase exposure to English:
   • Watch TV and movies.
   • Listen to the radio.
   • Read as much as possible.
6. Enlarge your vocabulary.Having a large vocabulary is basic to learning any language, and it is especially true in English. Reading is a very good way to learn new words. So is doing puzzles or playing different kinds of word games.
7. Have fun.Having fun increases your ability to remember, so the more you enjoy yourself as you learn English, the easier it will be to remember. Play games and puzzles. Even simple ones, like ones written for children, provide good experience and practice for English. Comic books and newspaper comic strips are also a good way to have fun, and the pictures make it easier to understand than stories.
8. Cultivate friendships with native English speakers.If you make friends with some native English speakers, you will find that they can be a very valuable help in your learning English. Having native English speakers friends means that you will find yourself in situations where you have no choice but to speak English. Yet since they are your friends, you will be doing things you enjoy together with them. So these situations will probably have little or no stress. Friendships with native English speakers also means that you’ll have someone whom you can ask questions regarding language, culture, the suburbs, and so on.
9. Make regular study a habit.Regular study is a key to success in learning a language. It is easier to study a little each day instead of trying to study several hours only one day a week. Also, studying a little each day makes it easier to review what you’ve learned and remember new things.
10. Acknowledge the progress you’ve made.Finally, it is important to recognize that you will improve as you study English. Sometimes when you set your goals, they seem very difficult. Progress comes little by little, so it’s hard to see if you have grown in your language skills. Think about where you are at today, and where you were last week or last month. Maybe it doesn’t seem like you have come very far. But if you stop and think about where you were six months ago, or even a year ago, then you see that you have made progress. You have improved your English, and that is a reason to celebrate your accomplishment. It gives you hope that as you continue to study and work hard at improving your English, you will reach your goal sooner or later!
