Money is important but not everything. We can buy and do anything with money. But there are things that can not be rewarded with money. As well as money, education is something that we need, because without education we can not do anything.

4. The Indonesia State System Is Converted Into The Imperial System 

Indonesia has independent more than 65 years. But Indonesia is still a developing country. It's all because of the programs that have been planned by the government were never completed and never finish. Because of that, be better the Indonesia state system is converted into the imperial system.

Indonesia is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. A lot of public money was corrupted. The country's development always hampered and never finished. The imprisonment threats and fine threats don't make the corruptors fear and give up. They continue to corrupt tax money because they think littel of the imprisonment and fine.

What is your opinion about it?

7. Grammar  Or Speaking

Grammar is important in English. We need it to understand in learning English. As well as speaking, because English is language and language is for communication, not for thinking.

Conjunction

Compound Sentences with Coordinating Conjunctions 

 (FANBOYS)

A compound sentence contains two separate subject and verb pairs. You can combine two simple sentences together with a comma and a coordinating conjunction to make one compound sentence. Here are some examples:

F – for I drank some water, for I was thirsty.

She put on a sweater, for it was cold outside.

*for means the exact same thing as because. The only difference is that when you use for to join two sentences together into one compound sentence, you need to use a comma before it. When you use because to join to sentences, you don’t use a comma before it.

A – and He was tired, and he had a headache.

N – nor She doesn’t drink milk, nor does she eat butter.

I can’t whistle, nor can I sing.

He didn’t study last night, nor did he read his book.

They were not wearing jackets, nor were they carrying umbrellas.

*nor means “also not”. Nor requires unusual grammar. The first sentence will contain a negative verb. The second sentence will contain what looks like an interrogative affirmative verb form. An auxiliary verb (do/does/did, is/am/are/was/were), modal verb (can/could/will/would/may/might/must/should), or be main verb (is/am/are/was/were) comes after nor and before the subject, and then the main verb comes after the subject.

B – but Tom studied a lot, but he didn’t pass the test.

O – or He can buy the book, or he can borrow it from the library.

Y – yet Tom studied a lot, yet he didn’t pass the test.
