The aim of this research was to find out the ability of the first year students in speaking by using storytelling at MAS. Al-Jam’iyatul Wasliyah. The design of this research was descriptive research. The population of this research was 20 students of XC class in the first grade at MAS. Al-Jam’iyatul Wasliyah. In selecting the sample the writer used random sampling technique. The total number of the sample was 12 students. The data was collected by using oral test.

And their speaking had been recorded by using phone recorder. From the result of analyzing the data, the researcher found that the students’ speaking ability by using storytelling was moderate. It proved by the fact that 4 students (33.33%) classified as high ability, 4 students (33.33%) classified as moderate ability, and 4 students (33.33%) classified as low ability. Based on the data, the students’ score were bigger in the high and moderate level than in the low ability level.

This study is directed to obtain information how peer feedback can improve students’ ability in writing. Specifically, it is directed to investigate whether peer feedback works and can improve students’ writing ability in writing sentences and narrative paragraphs, at the first year students of SMA Negeri 1 Balikpapan. The study was conducted based on the result of preliminary study at the school. It is found that the students’ ability in the language skills especially in writing is still insufficient. In the teaching and learning process the teacher provides fewer portions in writing activities for the students in class. In addition, the strategies used in the teaching and learning process are uninteresting because the students have to do the writing activities in under pressure. To answer the problems, a classroom action research is conducted. The teacher as a researcher works in planning the action, implementing the action, observing, and analyzing and reflecting the action. The subjects of the study are the second year students (X-IPA-1) of 2019/2020 academic year consisting of 40 students. The results shows that peer feedback obviously can improve the students’ ability in writing sentences and narrative paragraphs at the first year students of SMA Negeri 1 Balikpapan. It has been observed that the improvements are caused by the regular writing practice done by the students and the teacher’s response given to their writing. It becomes a sort of on going dialogue.

Emotional Outcomes

Lay wisdom suggests feeling negative in advance of an outcome – anticipatory negative emotion – shields against the blow of bad news. However, evidence is mixed, with different lines of research finding that anticipatory negative emotion is helpful, harmful, or has no effect on emotional outcomes. We set out to reconcile the competing findings by examining effects over a longer, but more granular, time-scale. First-year students (N=101) completed 9 days of experience sampling (10 surveys/day) as they received their first-semester exam grades, and a follow-up survey 5 months later. We investigated the association between anticipatory negative emotion and three negative emotional outcomes: (1) reactivity immediately after receiving grades, (2) recovery across the following week, and (3) recovery after 5 months. Anticipatory negative emotion was associated with increased reactivity and negative emotion 5 months later, suggesting that being emotionally ready for the worst has psychological costs.

The aim of the study was to determine the relationship of the content of chemical elements in the hair with the nature of nutrition. We examined 107 people (75 women and 32 men), first-year students of the Peoples` Friendship University of Russia from 33 countries. The average age of the subjects was 22 years. The hair was taken from the occipital part of the head. Hair was analyzed for qualitative and quantitative elemental composition by induced coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The average dietary intake of students was assessed by the method of frequency analysis using the Nutrilogic software. The results of the study showed that more than half of the students had a deficiency in consumption of P (61.68%), I (57.01%), Mo (75.70%), Cr (78.50%), choline (71.96%). The strongest correlations of the content of the chemical elements in the hair with the intake of nutrients in men were found for (chemical element in the hair - nutrient, dependence, direct or inverse, p value) W - Mo, ↓, 0.007; Co - vitamin B12, ↑, 0.003, Hg - β-carotene, ↓, 0.002; Mg - folate, ↑, 0.001; Mg - pantothenic acid, ↓, 0.0001; P - vitamin B12, ↑, 0.0001; P - pantothenic acid, ↑, 0.001. No such relationships were found among women, with the exception of beryllium concentrations: its content in the hair decreased with an increase in the intake of protein, fats, vitamins B1 and B12, as well as Na and Fe (in all cases, p≤0.001). Thus, the data obtained indicate that insufficient intake of various nutrients can significantly affect the status of a number of chemical elements. Moreover, the list of chemical elements is different for different nutrients.
