LKS Pertemuan 18 – Analyzing Both Sides of an Issue


A. Membaca Teks Isu Aktual

Should TikTok be Banned for Teenagers under 17?

In recent years, TikTok has become one of the most popular apps among teenagers. However, there is an ongoing debate about whether it should be banned for users under 17.

Pro (For the ban):

  • TikTok can be addictive and waste teenagers’ study time.

  • Some contents are inappropriate or harmful for young audiences.

  • Too much screen time may affect mental health.

Contra (Against the ban):

  • TikTok can be educational if used wisely (learning English, tutorials, news).

  • It helps teenagers express creativity and talent.

  • Banning may limit freedom of expression.

Conclusion:
There are both advantages and disadvantages. The best solution may not be a total ban, but stricter guidance and parental control.


Tugas A:

  1. Tentukan mana argumen pro dan mana contra.

  2. Sebutkan 1 argumen pro yang menurutmu paling kuat dan jelaskan alasannya.

  • dangerous, beneficial, harmful, creative, addictive, effective

Tugas B:

  1. Temukan connectors, modal verbs, dan evaluative language dalam teks.

  2. Tambahkan minimal 3 kosakata evaluatif baru dari kamus/HP.


C. Diskusi Kelompok
Topik: Should smartphones be allowed in classrooms?

📖 Model Text – Should Smartphones Be Allowed in Classrooms?

Smartphones have become an essential part of modern life, and many students bring them to school every day. The question is whether smartphones should be allowed in classrooms.

On the one hand, smartphones can be very beneficial for learning. They provide quick access to online dictionaries, educational videos, and learning apps that can support classroom activities. Students can also use them to search for information instantly during discussions, which makes learning more interactive. Moreover, smartphones can help teachers share digital materials easily.

On the other hand, smartphones may also become a major distraction. Many students are tempted to check social media, play games, or chat with friends instead of paying attention to the lesson. This can reduce concentration and lower academic performance. In addition, not all students have the same type of device, which can create inequality and even bullying.

In conclusion, smartphones in classrooms have both advantages and disadvantages. Instead of a total ban, schools should regulate their use—allowing smartphones for learning purposes while restricting them during exams or lectures. This balanced approach ensures that technology supports education without harming focus and discipline.

Pro (For)Contra (Against)

Teks 1 – Should School Uniforms Be Compulsory?

Many schools around the world require students to wear uniforms. This issue has raised debates among parents, students, and educators.

On the one hand, school uniforms can create a sense of equality among students. They reduce visible differences in social and economic background, so students can focus more on learning rather than appearance. Moreover, uniforms can increase school pride and discipline.

On the other hand, some people argue that uniforms limit students’ freedom of expression. Clothing is one way for young people to show their individuality. In addition, buying uniforms can be expensive for some families, especially when the school requires more than one type of uniform.

In conclusion, school uniforms have both advantages and disadvantages. It is important for schools to consider the needs of their students and find a balanced solution.

🔖 Contoh Model Text (bisa dipelajari sebelum menulis)

Should Online Learning Replace Traditional Classes?

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, online learning has become a major part of education. Many people wonder if it should replace traditional face-to-face classes.

On the one hand, online learning is more flexible and accessible. Students can learn from anywhere and save time on transportation. It also allows the use of modern technology, interactive apps, and recorded lessons, which can support independent learning.

On the other hand, online learning reduces social interaction. Students may feel isolated and less motivated without direct contact with teachers and friends. Furthermore, not all students have stable internet or proper devices, which creates inequality.

In conclusion, online learning has clear benefits but also serious drawbacks. It should be used to complement, not completely replace, traditional classes.
