She was very disappointed as she realised all the windows were (7) plain and rather dirty, reflecting nothing other than the sad neglect of the house that stood derelict. So sad she didn’t go any further and turned, heart broken as she remounted her bike. As (8) she glanced up she saw a sight that amazed her. There across the way on her side of the valley was a little house and its windows glistened like gold as the sun shone on her little home. She realised that she had been living in her golden house and all (9) the love and care she found there was what made her home the ‘golden house’.

Teks yang dibacakan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru: Once upon a time, two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was inconsiderate and refused to let the angels sleep in the mansion’s guest room. Instead, the angels were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, “Things aren’t always what they seem.”


5

The following night, the pair settled down at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had, the couple allowed the angels to sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun rose the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead on the field. The younger angel was infuriated, accused and asked the older angel, “How could you have let this happen?” “The first family had everything, yet you helped them. However, the second family had little, but was willing to share everything, and you let their cow die.” “Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn’t find it. Then last night, as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.” That is exactly what happens when things don’t turn out the way they should.

Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru: A nurse took a tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside. “Your son is here,” she said to an old man who was her patient. He opened his eyes, but blurrily saw a young soldier standing beside his bed. The soldier reached out to the old man’s hand. The nurse brought a chair so that the soldier could sit beside the bed. All through the night the young soldier sat beside the old man’s bed, holding his hand and offering him words of love and strength. Occasionally, the nurse asked the soldier to rest for a while, but he refused. The man said nothing, only held on tightly to the young soldier all through the night. Towards dawn, the old man died. The soldier released the old man’s hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.

Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of condolence, but the soldier interrupted her. “Who was that man?” he asked. The nurse was startled. “He was your father,” she answered. “No, he wasn’t,” the soldier replied. “I never saw him before in my life.” “Then why didn’t you say something when I took you to him?” “I knew right away there had been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son who wasn’t here. When I realized that he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed me, I stayed.” So, the next time someone needs you, be there for them.

Contoh jawaban: My name is Alan. Now I live happily in a palace with my parents. Will you listen to my story? My country is ruled by a good and hard working king. No wonder that my country is very prosperous and wealthy. Do you know who the king is? Yes, he is my father. When I was born, my parents were very happy. To show their happiness, they held a festival in the palace. Everyone was happy with my birth but Oralf, my uncle, wished that he would rule the kingdom so he planned to estrange me. Guess what Oralf did then! He took me to the top of a mountain. He left me there and returned to the palace. Moments later, a white horse approached me. The horse lived in a cave of the mountain. It had fire wings that could destroy everything. When it looked at me, it took pity. Then it decided to take care of me. It loved me and taught me all types of warfare. I grew well with other children. Actually it didn’t know that I was the king’s son! Years passed. My parents were very sad about me. One day a woman told my mother that I was still alive and lived with a fire-winged horse in a cave of a mountain. Of course it made my mother very happy. She gave gifts to the old woman and asked the king to look for me.

Arriving at the cave, the king soon realised that I was his son. He then told the white horse and my friends that he would take me back to the palace. They could say nothing but yes. Before I left them, the horse gave me a feather from its fire wings. It told me that if I had any need, I could call it by dipping the feather in water. It would appear and help me. After saying thanks to the horse, the king and I went back to the palace. Of course my arrival made Oralf upset. He planned to kill me. He went to the neighboring kingdoms and revealed all military secrets to attack my kingdom. The attack was so sudden that we could not defend. Suddenly, I remembered the feather the horse had given me. I dipped it in the water and requested for the horse’s help. At once the horse appeared and helped me. Soon we defeated the enemy and Oralf was killed. Since then, we live happily until now. Well, that’s my story. Thank you for listening.

Daddy’s Girl Her hair was arranged in a pony tail, her favorite dress was tied with a bow. Today was Father’s Day at school, and she couldn’t wait to go. Her mommy tried to tell her that she should probably (1) ________. Why the kid may not understand, if she went to school alone. But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say –– what to tell her (2) ________, on Father’s Day. Her mommy was still worried, for her to face this day alone and that was why once again, she tried to keep her daughter home. The little girl went to school, eager to tell them all. About a dad she never saw, a dad who never called. There were daddies along the wall, for everyone to meet. Children were squirming, (3) ________, anxiously in their seats. One by one the teacher called a student from the class, to introduce their daddy as seconds slowly passed. Finally, the teacher called her name and every child turned to stare. Each of them was searching, for a man who wasn’t there. “Where’s her daddy?” she heard a boy call out. “She probably doesn’t have one,” another student dared to shout. From somewhere near the back, she heard a daddy say, “Looks like another dad too busy to waste his day.” The words did not (4) ________ her, as she smiled at her friends and looked back at her teacher, who told her to begin. With her hands behind her back, slowly she began to speak and out from the mouth of a child, came words incredibly unique, “My daddy couldn’t be here because he lives so (5) ________, but I know he wishes he could be with me on this day.” “Although you cannot meet him, I want you to know all about my daddy and how much he loves me. He loved to tell me stories, taught me to ride my bike. He surprised me with pink roses and taught me to fly a kite. We used to share fudge sundaes and ice cream cones. Although you cannot see him, I’m not standing here alone. My daddy’s always with me, even though we are far apart. I know because he told me, he’ll forever be here in my heart.” With that her little hand reached up and lay across her chest, feeling her own (6) ________, beneath her favorite dress and from somewhere in the crowd of dads. Her mother stood in tears, proudly watching her daughter who was (7) ________ beyond her years, for she stood up for the love of a man not in her life. Doing what was the best for her, doing what was right. Then she dropped her hand back down, staring straight into the crowd. She finished with a voice so soft, but its (8) ________ clear and loud. “I love my daddy very much, he’s my shining star. He’d be here if he could, but heaven’s much too far. Sometimes when I close my eyes, it’s like he never went away.” Then she closed her eyes and she saw him there that day.

To her mother’s amazement, she witnessed with surprise that a room full of daddies and children, all started to close their eyes. Who knows what they saw before them, who knows what they felt inside. Perhaps for merely a second, they saw him at her side. “I know you’re with me, daddy,” to the (9) ________ she called out. What happened next made (10) ________ of those once filled with doubt. Not one in that room could explain it, for each of their eyes had been closed, but there placed on her desk was a beautiful pink rose. A child was blessed, if only for a moment, by the love of her shining bright star and given the gift of believing that. Heaven is never too far.

Narratives

The Twin Stars In front of the little house was a pine tree and every night at the time when the children went to bed, a bright star appeared over the top of the tree and looked in through the window. The children were brother and sister. They were twins, and so they always had each other to play with. “Now go to sleep,” the mother would say when she had kissed them goodnight, but it was hard to go to sleep when such a beautiful, radiant thing was shining in through the window of the little house. “What do you suppose is in the star?” asked the sister. “I think there are daisies, honey, violets, butterflies and blue birds,” answered the brother. “I think there are roses, robins, berries and hummingbirds,” said the sister. “There must be trees and grass too and I am sure there are pearls and diamonds.” “I can almost see them now,” declared the sister. “I wish we could really see them. Tomorrow let us go and find the star.” When morning came, the star was gone, but they said, “It was just behind the pine-tree, and so it must be on the blue mountain.” The blue mountain was a long way off but it looked near. The twins thought they could walk to it in an hour. They walked all day long. They went through the lonely woods, crossed brooks, climbed hills and still could not find the radiant star that had looked in through their window. The hour had come when their mother always put them to bed and kissed them and said goodnight, but now they had no mother, no goodnight kiss and no bed. They were tired and sleepy. They heard strange sounds in the forest and they were frightened. “I am so tired,” the sister whispered. “I am afraid a bear will come. I wish we could see the star.” The sky had grown dark and a star could be seen here and there, but it was not their star. They went on till they could go no farther. “We will lie down on the grass,” said the brother, “and cover ourselves up with leaves and go to sleep.” Tired as they were, they did not have time to go to sleep before they heard a bear calling “Ugh! Ugh!” in the woods. They sprang up and ran out of the woods. Just before they came to the bottom of the hill, they saw right in front of them a beautiful little lake. They were not frightened anymore, for there in the water was something radiant and shining. “It is our own star,” said them, “and it has come down to us.” They never thought of looking up into the sky over their heads. It was enough for them that the star was in the water and so near them. But was it calling them? They thought so. “Come,” cried the brother, “take my hand, and we will go to the star.” Then the spirit of the skies lifted them up gently and carried them away on a beautiful cloud.

The father and mother sat alone in the little house one evening, looking sadly out of the window through which the twins had looked. “There is the star that they loved,” the mother said. “I have often listened to them while they talked of it. It is rising over the pine-tree in front of the house.” They sat and watched the star. It was brighter and more radiant than ever and in it the father and mother saw the faces of their lost children. “Oh, take us too, good spirit of the skies!” they cried. The spirit heard them. When the next evening came, close beside the star there was another star. In that were the father and mother. At last the parents and children were all very happy to be together again.

Question 2 refers to the following dialog. Girl : Rendra, did you take my raincoat? Boy : No, I didn’t. Girl : It must be Riko. I put the raincoat on this table and now he is out, right? Boy : I don’t think so. I saw Riko leaving and wearing his own raincoat. Why don’t you try to look for it again? Maybe you forgot where you put it. Question: 2.

Question: 3. What are the girl and boy doing? Questions 4 and 5 refer to the following monolog. Let me tell you a story. One day a tailor was at work. He took a piece of cloth and with a pair of shining, costly scissors. He cut the cloth into various bits. Then he placed the pair of scissors at his feet. Later on he got a small needle and thread and started to sew the bits of cloth, into a fine shirt. When the sewing was over, he stuck the needle on his turban. The tailor’s son who was watching, asked him, “Father, the scissors are costly and look so beautiful. However, you place them at your feet. This needle is worth almost nothing. You can get a dozen for less than a thousand Rupiah. Yet, you stick it carefully on the turban, on your head. Is there any reason for this?” “Yes, my son. The scissors have its function, no doubt, but they only cut the cloth into bits. The needle, on the contrary, unites the bits of cloth and enhances the value of the end product. Therefore, the needle to me is more precious and valuable. The value of anything depends on its utility, son, not on its cost or appearance.”

Contoh jawaban: Once a king had a great highway built for the members of his kingdom. Before it was opened to the public, the king decided to have a contest. He invited as many as desired to participate. Their challenge was to see who could travel the highway the best. On the day of the contest, the participants came. Some of them had fine chariots. Some had fine clothing, fine hairdos or great food. Some young men came in their track suits and ran along the highway. People traveled the highway all day, but each one, upon arrival at the end, complained to the king that there was a large pile of rocks and debris left on the road at one spot and that this got in their way and hindered their travel. At the end of the day, a lone traveler crossed the finish line warily and walked over to the king. He was tired and dirty but he addressed the king with great respect and handed him a bag of gold. He explained, “I stopped along the way to clear a pile of rocks and debris that were blocking the road. This bag of gold was under it all. I beg you to return it to its rightful owner.” The king replied, “You are the rightful owner.” The traveler replied, “Oh no, this is not mine. I’ve never known such wealth.” “Oh yes,” said the king, “you’ve earned this gold, for you won my contest. He who travels the road best is he who makes the road smoother for others to follow.” Adopted from: http://varietyreading.carlsguides.com/forwards/kinghighway.php (March 24, 2012)

As he returned home, he was reminded of the event that had taken his thumb and felt remorse for the treatment of his friend. He went immediately to the jail to speak with his friend. “You were right,” he said, “it was good that my thumb was blown off.” He proceeded to tell the friend all that had just happened. “So I am very sorry for sending you to jail for so long. It was bad for me to do this.” “No,” his friend replied, “This is good!” “What do you mean, ‘This is good’? How could it be good that I sent my friend to jail for a year?” “If I had not been in jail, I would have been with you.” Adopted from: http://www.motivational-well-being.com/motivational-stories-4.html (March 3, 2010)

The following text is for questions 16 to 20. John’s Bright Idea Mrs. Walter was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. One morning she told her children about a family which she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife who took care of him and their little boy, and could not go out to work. The little boy — named Tom — had interested her very much. “I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry and Clara, “he is such a help to his mother. He wishes to earn some money very much but I can’t see what he can do.” After their mother had left the room, the children sat thinking about little Tom. “I wish we could help him earn money,” said little Clara. “So do I,” said Harry. For some moments John said nothing. Suddenly he sprang to his feet and said, “I have an idea!” The other children also jumped to attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know the big box of corn Uncle Sam sent us for popping? Well, we can pop it

and put it into paper bags and Tom can take it round the houses to sell.” When Mrs. Walter heard John’s idea, she too thought it was a good one. Very soon the children were busy popping the corn, while their mother went out to buy the paper bags. When she came back, she brought Tom with her. In a short time, he started out on his new business and much sooner than could be expected, returned with an empty basket. Tucked into one of his mittens were two dollars. He had never earned so much money before in his life. When he found that it was all to be his, he was so delighted he could hardly speak, but his bright smiling face spoke for him. After he had run home to take the money to his mother, John said, “We have enough corn left to send Tom out many more times. May we do it again?” “Yes,” said Mrs. Walter, “you may send him every Saturday morning if you pop the corn for him. John, will you agree to take charge of the work?” “Indeed I will,” replied John, and he kept his word. For many weeks, every Saturday morning, no matter what plan was on foot, no matter how good the coasting or skating, he ensured that all the corn was popped, the paper bags filled and arranged in the basket before Tom arrived. People began to watch for the “little pop-corn boy” and every week he had at least a half dollar to take home and often more. All this was because of John’s bright idea, and the way he carried it out. Adapted from: http://www.rickwalton.com/folktale/cinder06.htm (March 26, 2010)

Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru dan jawaban: Cars cannot run without gasoline. Burning gasoline provides the energy needed for the car to move, but how does that happen? The engine converts the gasoline’s potential energy into (1) movement. It does this in several steps. 1. Gasoline mixed with air is (2) pumped into a cylinder, which is fitted with a piston that can move up and down inside. 2. The piston moves up and (3) squeezes the fuel, making it heat up. 3. An electric spark makes hot fuel react with oxygen in the air and explode. The reaction produces several gases, which are very hot- the gasoline’s potential energy has become (4) heat energy. You know, hot gases (5) expand very quickly and the expanding gases push on the piston, forcing it to (6) move down. The heat energy has now been converted to movement, or kinetic energy. The up and down movement of the piston is converted (7) by gears to the spinning motion of the car’s wheels. 4. Finally, the piston rises again and (8) pushes out the used gases ready to repeat the process.

Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru: Nitrogen makes up 78 percent of air, but it cannot be used by animals or plants while it is a gas. Nitrogen in the air is changed by lightning into nitrogen dioxide. It combines with drops of rain to fall to the ground as nitric acid. Nitrogen is also converted into usable compounds by nitrogen-fixing bacteria and plants such as lichen and algae. They change it into chemicals called nitrates. The nitrates are a form of nitrogen that can be taken up by the roots of plants. The plants are then eaten by animals in turn. Some nitrogen is passed out in manure. This manure and animal remains then help feed the soil. This is called the nitrogen cycle.

Retell the following texts using your own words. Do it in turns.

Contoh jawaban: 1. You must be familiar with the term ‘photosynthesis’. Photosynthesis is a process of making sugars in plants which uses energy from sunlight. Well, the process takes place in the chloroplasts, the structures inside the tightly packed palisade cells in the leaves of a plant. You know, in the chloroplasts there is a green pigment called chlorophyll.

It is the chlorophyll which traps the sun’s energy. Later the plant uses the energy to make molecules of glucose from water and carbon dioxide. I tell you that the glucose provides energy for the plant. In the process, oxygen is released as a by-product. 2.

You know Arizona, don’t you? Yes, it’s one of the states in the U.S. which people call Arid Zona. In Indonesian it means Daerah Gersang or Kering and is termed as sunburn state. You know, it is so hot in Arizona that we can boil an egg on our legs. So, one can just imagine the temperature. The heat in Arizona is dry until October. The hot condition doesn’t last all through the year, as during Christmas it becomes so cool that frost forms. Let’s see why Arizona is so hot. It’s because the Laguna Mountains in California tend to block the cool marine air that flow from the Pacific Ocean. The flow of air is inhibited to move eastwards to Yuma. These Mountains are known to retain the heat. The weather pattern in places like Utah, Nevada and Arizona have high pressures. These high air pressures make the air in Northes Arizona move at a latitude, in height. That’s why, Yuma in Arizona, situated at a higher altitude, experiences more heat and gets baked. The level of precipitation is very low at this place due to these Mountains. If any storms arise in the Pacific Ocean and move towards California, they move from west to east. The clouds that form, touch the Mountains and will be forcibly cooled and condensed further. The condensed clouds fall as rain on the Mountains. So, the clouds that pass the Mountains don’t fall as rain in Arizona. The Southern part of Arizona is a desert and hence it is too hot in this region. In Phoenix, June seems to be very hot, with less humidity. People in Arizona experience monsoon storms during summer. The summer in Arizona has higher humidity levels, with wind and dust storms occurring during the season.

Contoh jawaban: Good morning, everybody. I’m going to explain what causes air to rise. There are ways in which the air can be forced to rise. This causes water droplets to condense. Let’s look at each of these one by one. First, air is heated from the ground. This tends to occur mainly in the tropics. Here the air in contact with the ground is warmer than the air above. This makes the air rise. As a result, huge thunder-clouds (called cumulonimbus clouds) form and rainfall can be very heavy. This rainfall is called convection rain. Second, the air is forced to cross a mountain barrier and consequently, forced to rise. If the mountains are sufficiently high and the air mass contains enough moisture, clouds will form. This makes rain fall on the windward side. This is the side closest to where the air mass is coming from. This rainfall is known as orographic rain, meaning, caused by the shape of the land. The air mass, now drier and warmer, will continue to flow down the other side of the mountains, the leeward side. Third, air rises as it enters an area of low pressure. As air rises, other air must replace it which, in turns, also rises. In fact, this is a complex process. As the air rises, it moves in a spiral, but if enough air enters an area of low pressure, clouds will form and rain may fall. That’s all about what causes air to rise. B.

Dengan perintah kegiatan yang sama Bapak/Ibu Guru dapat memberikan teks berikut. What Causes Air to Rise? There are ways where air can be forced to rise, thus causing water droplets to condense. We will look at each of these one by one. 1. The air is heated from the ground. This occurs mainly in the tropics, where the air in contact with the ground is warmer than the air above, so it will rise. As a result, sometimes huge thunder-clouds (called cumulonimbus clouds) form and associated rainfall can be very heavy. This type of rainfall is called convection rain. 2. The air is forced to cross a mountain barrier. As it crosses a mountain barrier, it is forced to rise. If the mountains are sufficiently high and the air mass contains enough moisture, clouds will form and rain will fall on the windward side (the side closest to where the air mass is coming from). This rainfall is known as orographic rain, meaning “caused by the shape of the land”. The air mass, now drier and warmer, will continue to flow down the other side of the mountains (the leeward side).

Arrange the following paragraphs to form a meaningful text. Read it in turns. Why is Our Blood Red?

1.

As well as red blood cells, our blood also contains white blood cells, which help to fight off diseases. All heart cells and nutrients are transmited in a pale yellow, thick liquid, called plasma. Other materials carried in the plasma, include a substance called fibrinogen, which helps the blood to clot when we suffer cuts.

2.

As well as transmitting oxygen and carbon dioxide, blood also transmits nutrients to the cells, so that they can perform their functions and for cell repair and growth. Waste products are carried back to the liver for removal.

3.

Our blood is red because of haemoglobin, which is contained in our red blood cells (red corpuscles). The function of these specialised cells is to carry oxygen from our lungs to wherever needed in the body. They are formed in our bone marrow and the haemoglobin in them, which is made of iron and protein, turn redder as it picks up oxygen. It loses this color as it deposits oxygen in other cells and picks up carbon dioxide to return to the lungs, which is why some of the veins in our hands and arms appear blue through our skin.

Contoh jawaban: How do Snakes Inject Their Venom? A venomous snake has saliva glands which produce poison for its prey. This is called snake’s venom. Snake venom is powerful enough to kill an elephant. About two hundred venomous snakes out of 412 species can be considered dangerous to humans. Two of these are African snakes called the boomslang and the bird snake. Their fangs are at the rear of their mouths, greatly enlarged and have grooves running down one side. Above these fangs are openings that lead to the venom-producing gland. When a rear-fanged snake bites, venom drips down the grooves into the bite made by the fangs. Cobras fangs are at the front of the mouth, one on each side of the upper jaw. A muscle surrounds the venom gland so that when the snake bites, the muscles press on the gland and force the venom down the fangs and through their tips. The spitting cobra can spray venom from its fangs the way water is squirted from a toy gun. Adopted from: Anonymous, Tell Me How?, London, Chancellor Press, 2010.

Dengan perintah kegiatan yang sama Bapak/Ibu Guru dapat memberikan soal berikut. Seasons occur regularly. We have probably noticed that it gets warmer during summer or dry season, while it gets colder in winter, or wet season. However do we know how these seasons change? Seasons occur and change every year. This happens because the Earth tilts back and forth as it goes around the Sun. During the Summer, Earth tilts toward the Sun. It makes half of Earth hotter. This condition is called Summer. During the other half of the year, Earth tilts away from the Sun. As a result, this makes the other half of Earth cooler. This cool condition is called Winter.

attached to one another. Ice crystals are also clear and colorless, while accumulated crystals combine to form snowflakes. Snow is visible to us due to the presence of light. Snow falls from the atmosphere and reaches ground. The ice crystals will enable light falling on them, to be reflected on the surface. There are multiple faces for crystals and, hence light also gets scattered. Visible light has various wavelengths of light that are visualized by us. When light falls on any object, part of the light will be absorbed and the other part will be reflected. The reflected part of light reaches our eyes and allows us recognize the colors. The light fallen on ice crystals, do not pass through the crystals for long distances, but tend to change directions. The light is also reflected at an angle on the interior of the ice. As snow exists as a collection of several snowflakes on the ground, the light that falls on them will not have a particular wavelength that is reflected with regularity. So, most of the light that falls on the snow will almost completely be reflected back. The light that is reflected by the snow will remain white most of the time, as the total light and not any one wavelength is reflected back.

Write an explanation text. Choose one of the following topics.

Contoh jawaban: Ageing is a result of the gradual failure of body cells and organs to replace and repair themselves. This is because there is a limit to the number of times each cell can divide. As body cells begin to near their limit, the rate at which they divide slows down. The new cells that are produced have defects, or do not carry out their usual task effectively. Organs may begin to fail, tissues change in structure and chemical reactions that power the body become less efficient. The blood supply to the brain may become ineffective. The brain cells become starved of oxygen and nutrients, leading to forgetfulness. For most old people memories bring great pleasure. Strangely though, recent events may have been forgotten, old people quite often remember events that took place in their childhood.

As the left half of the brain predominates, the right half of the body is more skilled and better equipped. We read, write, speak and work with the left half of our brain. This, of course makes most of us right-handed.

Rainbows appear during and immediately after local showers, when the Sun is shining and the air contains raindrops. The higher we are above the ground, the more of the rainbow arch we would see. Have you heard the saying: ‘There is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?’ The idea that a pot of gold can be found at the end of the rainbow started in Europe. It is said that angels put the gold there and only a naked man can get hold of it. Of course, this is just a myth. You may sometimes wonder if you could go under the arch of a rainbow.

A solar eclipse is an interesting natural phenomenon. Many people are interested to see it, but be careful with a solar eclipse! If we look at the sun directly during a solar eclipse, it can make us blind. Do you know how a solar eclipse occurs? Well, when the moon, moving in its orbit, passes exactly between the earth and the sun. A shadow of the moon tracks across the face of the earth.

The following text is for questions 17 to 20. Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to build up new cells and replace the worn out. However, the food we take must be changed into substances that can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion. The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva containing digestive juices which moisten the food so it can be swallowed easily. From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus–the food passage–into the stomach. Here the food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then, the food enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and moving the food onwards. In a few hours, the food changes into acids. The acids are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic branch projection from the intestine walls) and passed into bloodstream. 17. Where does the first digestive process take place? A. In the mouth. B. In the stomach. C. In the esophagus. D. On the muscular wall. E. In the small intestine. (Ujian Nasional 2010/2011)

18. Why can the food be swallowed easily? A. It has been digested. B. It is carried by the blood. C. It is moistened by saliva. D. It will pass the esophagus. E. It is already in the stomach. (Ujian Nasional 2010/2011)

19. What is digestion? A. The process of absorbing substances into the blood vessels. B. The passes of food through the esophagus into the stomach. C. The process of squeezing, mixing and moving of the food into the stomach. D. The process of distributing substances to the places where they are needed. E. The process of changing food into substances that can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. 20. “Food is needed to build up new cells and replace the worn out.” (Paragraph 1) The word ‘replace’ can be best replaced by ________. A. submerge B. substitute C. subtract D. subdue E. suffer II.

The road to Arum Village is widened. Father’s car is towed to the garage nearby. My house has been renovated for a month. Dad, our telephone line was checked this morning. You can’t use the printer at the moment because it is being fixed.

Question: 1. Where will the girl and the boy go? Questions 2 and 3 refers to the following dialog. Boy : It’s really annoying! Girl : Relax. Is there something bothering you? Boy : Yeah. I have repaired the printer, but it’s broken again. Girl : I suggest you bring the printer to Ayong. I think he can repair it. Boy : That’s a good idea, thanks. Questions: 2. What does the boy say to complain? 3. What does the girl suggest? Questions 4 and 5 refers to the following monolog. When the first symptoms of illness appear, the doctor uses a thermometer to check whether the patient has a ‘fever’. The average or ‘normal’ temperature of a healthy body is 37° Celsius. Some diseases make this temperature rise and this high temperature is called a ‘fever’. Fever is in fact a natural response, which helps the body to fight off infection. It makes the vital processes and organs of the body work faster. More hormones are produced as well as enzymes and blood cells, especially the white cells, which attack foreign bacteria and viruses in the bloodstream. The hormones and chemicals have to work much harder when the body is weak. The rate of blood circulation and respiration increase so that the body eliminates toxins and waste more quickly. Perspiration is also increased. It is important, however, to bring down a temperature whilst treating the cause, as it can destroy vital protein in the body. Adopted from: Anonymous, Tell Me Why?, London, Chancellor Press, 2010.

Why does Urine Smell like Ammonia? There are several reasons why urine smells like ammonia. As ammonia is mainly nitrogen, the most common cause of the smell is thus, eating foods with high concentrations of nitrogen: proteins, meats, eggs and the like, as well as a few vegetables like asparagus. Eating lots of these will cause a strong smell of ammonia in urine. Of course, urine itself does not smell; it is the concentration of various chemicals in it. When one is dehydrated, there is less water in one’s urine, this results in a darker yellow color and a stronger odor from all the concentrated chemicals. Sufficient amounts of water should be consumed each day to prevent highly concentrated urine.

36

Explanations

Another cause of ammonia smelling urine could be from a bacterial infection, in the kidneys the urinary tract, or infection of the bladder and is most commonly found in women, simply because of the positioning of anatomical features. Urinary tract infections lead to even stronger smelling urine than concentrated ammonia and it smells much more foul, though there is a distinct ammonia odor. Women also tend to get ammonia smelling urine after menopause. This could occur because of diet changes for weight control and water drinking is often minimized at this time, so it is important to drink lots of water during this period. Other issues could be serious liver or kidney damage or disease, so it is very important to consult a doctor, if there are any other accompanying symptoms, which could include burning sensations, itching, redness or rash, fever, or chills and the odorous urine lasts for more than a few days. Adopted from: http://www.knowswhy.com/why-does-urine-smell-like-ammonia/ (March 24, 2012)

16. The A. B. C. D. E.

text is about ________. an explanation about urine a description of what urine is the causes of ammonia smelling urine the reason why people consume proteins an explanation about bacteria that cause infections

17. “In fact, urine doesn’t smell.” The statement is the main idea of paragraph ________. A. one B. two C. three D. four E. five 18. “ . . . , and it smells much more foul, even though there is a distinct ammonia odor.” (Paragraph 3) The underlined word is closest in meaning to ________. A. definite B. strong C. far enough D. clearly equal E. alike 19. Which food and vegetables may cause urine to smell like ammonia, if they are consumed excessively? A. Meat, eggs and asparagus. B. Meat, asparagus and beans. C. Eggs, meat and carrots. D. Meat, eggs and beans. E. Asparagus and beans. 20. The following statements are reasons of ammonia smelling urine, EXCEPT ________. A. serious liver or kidney damages or diseases B. eating meats and eggs that have high concentrations of nitrogen C. a bacterial infection, in the urinary tract, or in the bladder D. the lack of water consumption that causes highly concentrated urine E. urinary tract infections which mostly occur in men, lead to even more strongly smelling urine II.

Esai

Contoh jawaban: Why do Muscles Ache After Exercise? When you exercise your muscles contract and produce an acid known as lactic acid. This acid acts like a ‘poison’. The effect of this lactic acid is to make you tired, by making muscles feel tired. If the acid is removed from a tired muscle, it stops feeling tired and can go right to work again. So, feeling tired after muscular exercise is really the result of a kind of internal ‘poisoning’ that goes on in the body. But the body needs this feeling of tiredness so that it will want to rest. During rest the joints of the body replace the supplies of lubricants they have used up. Adopted from: Anonymous, Tell Me Why?, London: Chancellor Press, 2010.

Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru: A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress at work and in life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups–porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, plain looking, expensive looking and telling them to help themselves to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “If you notice, all the expensive looking cups are taken, leaving behind the plain looking ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself does not add quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and probably, even hides what we drink.” All the alumni looked at their own cups and glanced at the others’. “What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and then you began eyeing each other’s cups,” the professor continued talking, “now consider this: life is the coffee while the jobs, money and society status are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by concentrating on only the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God provided us.” Adopted from: http://www.rogerknapp.com/inspire/godcoffee.htm (February 11, 2012)

Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru: Have you ever wondered how snow falls? A cloud is a mixture of air and very tiny droplets of water. When the droplets of water get very cold, they turn to ice. Ice particles start very small. They travel through the air and more water freezes on them to form ice crystals. When the ice crystals are big enough, they merge, to become snow flakes. When the snow flakes are heavy enough, they fall to the ground. That is how the snow falls and people then realise how cold it is. Adopted from: Thomas Bye, On Location: Reading and Writing for Success in the Content Areas, New York, McGraw-Hill, 2005.

Narrator:

Which picture best describes the monolog?

Jawaban: D PART IV Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru: Questions 12 and 13 refer to the following monolog. There was a poor bricklayer named Hadi. One day, Hadi found a treasure map. He told his family that he would go find that treasure. At first, his family forbade him, but then they let him go. He insisted that he didn’t want to live in poverty. Hadi left his home early in the morning and went down the road as shown on the map. Then, he arrived at a thick forest where he met a ranger named Rino. Rino told him that it would be dangerous for him to pass the thick forest alone. So, he decided to accompany him. Hadi was very happy because he had a friend to chat with during his journey. The next day, Hadi and Rino arrived at a high stony hill. They had to pass the hill if they wanted to find the treasure. Not long after that, a stone cutter named Toni greeted them. Hadi and Rino knew that Toni had to know the passage very well, so they invited him to join. He agreed and went with them.

The three of them arrived at a vast sea the following day. There was no boat they could use to cross the sea until a fisherman named Herman offered his help. Then, the four men crossed the sea together and arrived at a small island. They met an old man who told them that they had actually found the treasure. The old man explained that the treasure they were looking for was FRIENDSHIP. They had different backgrounds, but they traveled together. They helped each other sincerely. Knowing the four men were blank, the old man invited them into his house. He served his most delicious food and gave each of them a lump of gold. “You know, friendship is as priceless as gold. So, you must preserve it,” said the man. Narrator: 12. How many characters are there in the story? 13. What can you learn from the story? 12. Jawaban: D 13. Jawaban: A Teks yang diperdengarkan Bapak/Ibu Guru: Questions 14 and 15 refer to the following monolog. Let me tell you how hurricanes form. Hurricanes are the most violent storms on Earth. They are also known as typhoons or cyclones, depending on where they occur. The scientific term for all these storms is tropical cyclone. Only tropical cyclones that form over the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific Ocean are called “hurricanes.” Whatever they are called, tropical cyclones all form the same way. Tropical cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. That is why, they form only over warm ocean waters near the equator. The warm, moist air over the ocean rises upward from near the surface. Because this air moves up and away from the surface, there is less air left near the surface. Another way to explain, is when the warm air rises, an area of lower air pressure is created below. Air from surrounding areas with higher air pressure pushes in to the low pressure area. That “new” air then becomes warm and moist and rises, too. As the warm air continues to rise, the surrounding air swirls in to take its place. As the warmed, moist air rises and cools off, the water in the air forms clouds. The whole system of clouds and wind spins and grows, fed by the ocean’s heat and water evaporating from the surface.

Look at the boy! He is poor. Yes. He has to work hard to survive. You’re right. Do you think he has a good education? I’m not sure. Is there any possibility that he could become a great man one day? If he has a good education and good luck, anything is possible. Nobody knows what the future is. There is a man who once sold newspapers but has a business in renting expensive cars now. Yes, that’s right. A poor boy may become a great man one day. Where would you like to go next holiday? I would like to go to my uncle’s house. You know, he lives near a coastal area. Is your uncle’s a fisherman? Yes. When I was there, I helped him catch fish. It seems interesting. Actually I am very curious about people’s lives near coastal areas. May I go with you? Sure, but you must ask your parents’ permission. O.K. You know, I just won a modeling contest. Publishers have asked me to be a model for their magazines and I accepted the offers. What do you think? I support your decision, unless it interrupts your studies. You can do it after school. Anyway, have you asked mom and dad’s permission? I have and they support me. That’s good. One thing you should remember, never ignore your studies.

Teks yang dibacakan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru: A few people have to live near a volcano for various reasons. Actually, living near a volcano has positive and negative sides. Let me tell you about them. The positive side of living near a volcano is that the soil is fertile. Besides, a lot of volcanic products can be used in everyday life. Sulphur, for example, can be used as an ingredient for matches or medicine. Meanwhile, the finer volcanic deposits, such as gravel and sand found in rivers, can be used in building materials. More than that, the thermal energy from volcanoes can be used to generate electric power. Now, let’s discuss the negative side of living near a volcano. An eruption is very dangerous. When a volcano erupts, lava and other materials destroy habitats and crops. Of course, this causes great losses and could harm, or even kill people living there. Considering the facts above, we should live far away from a volcano.

Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru dan jawaban: Humans, as a natural part of the animal kingdom, have interacted with the animals around them for the entirety of their (1) existence. People around the world seem to have tamed many sorts of animals as companions and pets, from goldfish and birds to monkeys and reptiles. The (2) isolation of these instances suggests that it is an intrinsic human quality to tame animals beyond the role of hunting. Despite the vast popularity of pet ownership, the question still remains as to whether the practice should be (3) continued. Keeping pets is considered positive. It shows our love and affection for animals. Pet owners treat their pets very well. They will (4) feed and provide shelters for their pets. They assume that their pets will not survive without being looked after, since in nature only the strongest survive. By keeping animals as pets, the weak animals can be protected from danger. On the other side, keeping pets is considered a violation of animals (5) rights. Living creatures deserve the basic rights which captivity denies even though they may have no moral comprehension. It is up to human beings to (6) ensure that these rights are maintained. To sum up, we are supposed to set animals free to roam their (7) habitats. However, if we decide on keeping them, we have to be (8) responsible. We should treat them well and avoid animal violations.

Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru: There are many energy drinks advertised these days. According to advertisements, these drinks are good for us. What are actually the pros and cons of consuming energy drinks? On the positive side, energy drinks provide us with quick bursts of energy when needed. Therefore, people often report an increase in mental alertness after they drink energy drinks. Perhaps too much physical energy can reflect a positive effect on mental awareness. The other benefit of drinking energy drinks is that they are nourishing. Vitamins and minerals in these drinks could have positive effects on the body. Apart from their advantages, drinking energy drinks also has negative effects. We can get addicted to them. Moreover, they contain excessive sugar and calories which can lead to

becoming overweight. Children, pregnant women and those with health problems should not drink them, as these drinks may cause serious health problems. Last but not least, the negative side of energy drinks is that they are rather expensive. Adapted from: http://slapenergydrink.com/energy-drinks-pros-and-cons (March 15, 2012)

Compose a discussion text based on the following data. Then, present it in class.

Contoh jawaban: Several people are interested in taking out life insurance. However, others think that life insurance is of poor value. Now, let’s take a look at both sides. On one side, taking out life insurance provides us a sense of security. We don’t have to think much about the payments for illness treatments, since the insurance company will be responsible for settlements. Not only that. When we die, the insurance company provides a sum of money to our survivors. Of course it can lessen their burdens. On the other side, life insurance is considered unnecessary. It can be costly, especially if we suffer from bad health or participate in ‘high-risk’ activities. Then while taking out life insurance, we have a contract for a set period of time. It means that we have to pay a sum of money for the period. The other negative side of life insurance is we can outlive our insurance term and don’t receive any financial benefits. Also, we will not get better returns compared to that of a regular saving or investment account unless we die. Based on the pros and cons I’ve mentioned before, we should consider carefully, before taking out life insurance. B.

However, there is an argument against it. Did you know what it is? Yeah. Following a study club means that we have time for a chitchat. If we can’t manage time, we will spend it on uselessly. Based on the different arguments, I can conclude that following a study club has many benefits. If the reason is about time for a chitchat and other useless activities, we can minimize them, right?

Green sources of energy are crucial for fighting the climate crisis. Geothermal heating and cooling systems can (4) ________ a lot of money. It is usual to save up to 70% on heating bills, compared to using traditional heating systems. Geothermal energy is reliable, meaning there are little to no fluctuations of energy flow.

Contoh jawaban: Organic Farming Arguments for and against organic farming are largely anecdotal and left to personal opinions. Here are a few arguments. Organic farming is good for the environment. Numerous surveys have evaluated the environmental impact of various farming methods. From these, a general consensus is that organic farms do not use synthetic pesticides which can harm local wildlife. Organic farming is good for food consumers. The harmful effects of pesticide exposure are well documented. Even when they are used accordingly, they still end up in the bodies of


45

farmers and food consumers. Organic techniques do not expose consumers to dangerous organophosphate pesticides and other dangerous chemicals. Perhaps the single best argument against organic food is that it is just too costly. On average, consumers pay 50% more for organic products and up to 100% more for organic meat and dairy products. To sum up, organic farming is a good way of farming. It is safe for the environment and consumers. Adapted from: http://altmed.creighton.edu/OrganicFood/perceived_pros_and_cons.htm (March 16, 2012)

In this modern era many people like consuming frozen food. What are the advantages and disadvantages? Let’s discuss it. On one hand, frozen food is fast and easy. Cooking has always been time consuming. That’s why, cooking with readymade products is becoming more and more popular. Besides that, frozen food is still nutritious since the product is picked and frozen at the peak of its ripeness. On the other hand, frozen food has disadvantages. Frozen food is first blanched or boiled in order to sterilize it. This process breaks down some water-soluble nutrients and the real problem with frozen food is the chemicals, preservatives and amount of salt that is packed into them. We all know that salt is an enemy when it comes to dieting and to our heart health. Adopted from: http://www.3fatchicks.com/frozen-diet-foods-pros-and-cons-to-consider/ (March 15, 2012)

Contoh jawaban: In this modern era, almost everyone wants everything simple. They like practical packages, including food. There are many kinds of foods, like tinned foods. Actually, there are pros and cons of tinned foods. Let me tell you about them. On the positive side, tinned foods are stored easily. Compared to fresh foods, tinned foods have longer shelf-life. Not only that. They are more economical. Furthermore, the packaging can be recycled. However, tinned foods have negative sides too. Nutrients, especially vitamin C and potassium, are lost during the canning process. Moreover, salt or sugar is often added to the food, used as preservatives. Finally, the negative side of tinned foods is that, their taste and texture are not always as good as fresh foods. So, what will you choose now?

Terracing is one way to prevent erosion or farmland runoff. It is making slopes into steps so that rain cannot run down a hill carrying away the soil. Like other methods, it has arguments for and against. Let’s discuss the two sides. One of the reasons why people choose terracing is that it prevents water from running down hills. More than that, it increases water infiltration and root development. On the contrary, terracing has disadvantages. It could become expensive and require heavy equipment. Not only that. It may hinder more modern or authomatic farming practices. Adapted from: http://forest.mtu.edu/pcforestry/resources/studentprojects/AdamB/ Rain%20Erosion.html (March 15, 2012)

The following text is for questions 11 to 14. Many people like consuming seafood, especially fish. Actually, there are advantages and disadvantages. People should consume seafood because it is nutritious. Most of the domestic fish such as tuna, salmon and cod are good sources of protein, B vitamins, potassium, magnesium, selenium and other minerals. This is a versatile protein food source that is also relatively low in fat. Salmon and whitefish have the highest Omega-3 fatty acid content. This type of fat is very good for cardiovascular, brain and joints. On the contrary, there are arguments against seafood. According to the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network, more than 2 per cent of Americans report an allergy to fish and shellfish. Some of the reactions can be severe and/or lethal. Besides that, bigger fish have more chance of contamination by mercury and other toxins such polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The ones to avoid or eat sparingly are swordfish, tilefish, king mackerel, blue fin tuna, domesticated shark and marlin. Moreover, undercooked or raw fish can contain many kinds of parasites (including tapeworms). From the arguments above, we should be careful when consuming seafood. If we want to consume seafood, be sure the seafood is commercially deep frozen and/or heated to at least 140 degrees to kill tapeworms and other parasites. Also, it’s important for pregnant women, babies, young children and immunity-compromised persons to avoid these types of fish.

The following text is for questions 16 to 20. One promotion method people can consider, is through the Internet. Internet promotion has advantages and disadvantages. Internet promotion presents the advantage of a smaller budget and storage costs, when compared to printing brochures, producing television or radio advertisements or managing a call center. It presents a fast and cost effective option for penetrating new markets. Besides that, e-mail makes business communications instant. It makes it easier for customers to maintain contact and readily facilitates repeat purchasing. The net result is that, a small business can gain significant competitive advantage in a given market. Furthermore, Internet promotion also provides the advantage of endurance. Whereas participation at a trade fair or conference loses sales impact, once it is over. An advertisement in a newspaper or business magazine may quickly lose its sales generating value within a day or two, or as soon as the next issue is released. Internet promotion is often timeless. Apart from the dates and sometimes prices, much of your website contents remain valid years later. However, Internet promotion is not without its risks and weaknesses. With millions of businesses selling the same products and services, competing with more established businesses can be frustrating and a costly venture for small businesses. Another notable disadvantage is that it may be difficult for the businesspersons and consumers to thoroughly evaluate the legitimacy of a transaction. Small businesses are particularly vulnerable to theft, using stolen credit cards and stolen information to do online transactions. Then, another disadvantage is that the customers and businesspersons are isolated. There is little personal contact between customer and salesperson prior to and after the sales transaction. Thus, the prospect for repeat sales may diminish. From all indications, it appears that the advantages of Internet promotion far exceed the disadvantages. With adequate knowledge,entrepreneurs can benefit significantly from Internet promotions, especially small business owners. Adopted from: http://www.patantconsult.com/articles/advantages-and-disadvantagesof-internet-promotion.htm (March 15, 2012)

Pros and cons of entrepreneurship. 17. Compared to other media of promotion, how is Internet promotion? A. It is more interesting. B. It is more expensive. C. It is more exclusive. D. It is cheaper and longer. E. It is more difficult and more challenging.

18. What can we conclude from paragraph two and five? A. Both paragraphs discuss the advantages of Internet promotion. B. Both paragraphs discuss the disadvantages of Internet promotion. C. Paragraph 2 tells about argument for, while paragraph 5 tells about argument against. D. Paragraph 2 tells about argument against, while paragraph 5 tells about argument for. E. Paragraph 2 tells about argument for, while paragraph 5 tells about the writer’s conclusion. 19. Which of the following statements is NOT the disadvantage of Internet promotion? A.

Tape Script for Review Unit III Version B Question 1 refers to the following dialog. Girl : You know, there will be an audition for Indonesian Idol in the town hall. Boy : Do you mean Indonesian Idol which is broadcast on TV? Girl : Yes. I will join it. In your opinion, is it possible for me to pass the audition? Boy : I think so. Your voice is beautiful. Question: 1. What is the girl going to join? Question 2 refers to the following dialog. Girl : It seems that you like reading books about great men. Boy : Yes, I do. Girl : Why? Boy : I am very curious about the keys to their success. Question: 2. What does the boy want to know about some great men? Question 3 refers to the following dialog. Boy : Ugh . . . news about corruption again. It upsets me. Girl : Sure. There are many corruptors in this country. What do you think? Boy : I think they deserve very hard punishment, otherwise they will make our country collapse. Girl : I think so. Question: 3. What is the dialog about? Questions 4 and 5 refer to the following monolog. The decision about whether to live on, or off campus is very important. It could affect your entire college career. Both situations have advantages and disadvantages and which one you choose depends a lot on what is suitable for you. On-campus housing is generally more convenient than offcampus housing. It’s easier to get to class, especially early in the morning. Students who live on campus are also closer to facilities, such as the library and gym. On the other hand, in a dorm, you usually have to share a room, while off-campus housing can be more private and less noisy. Cafeteria food is another disadvantage of on-campus housing. Students on special diets will often find it difficult to live in a dormitory than to live in a rooming house or apartment where they can cook for themselves. Adopted from: Cheryl Pavlik and Margaret Keenan Segal, Interactions 2, New York, McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2007.

Questions: 4. What is the monolog about? 5. Why is living in on-campus housing more convenient?

The following text is for questions 11 to 14. When you attend university, you have to make many decisions, the most important being, where to live. Two popular options are living with family or relatives, or renting a dorm on your own, or with a roommate. These living situations differ in many important ways including price, convenience and amount of independence. Living with a family or relative is very different from living on your own. First of all, it is less expensive and much easier than renting a dorm. Second, when you live with a family or relative, you can minimize living costs. You usually eat with them, so you don’t have to cook for yourself. In contrast, in your own dorm, you have to do all the cooking. Finally, you probably wouldn’t be lonely because there are people to interact with. On the other hand, if you value independence, you would probably prefer to be on your own, in a dorm. When you rent a dorm, you are free to do what you want or when you want. No one will complain if you want to watch television in the middle of the night, or eat breakfast at eleven in the morning. You may also find it easier to study without any interruption. When you’re deciding where to live, the differences between living in a dorm and living with a family or relative should be considered carefully. There is no right answer for everyone. Both living situations have advantages and disadvantages. You are the only one who can decide which would suit you best. Adopted from: Cheryl Pavlik and Margaret Keenan Segal, Interactions 2, New York, McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2007.

They will remind us to be thrifty. B. We should not live with other people. C. We will be careful when buying something. D. We should not share foods with a roommate. E. We usually eat with them and don’t have to cook ourselves. 13. What is the main idea of paragraph three? A. Advantages of living with family or relatives. B.

The following text is for questions 16 to 20. If you’re considering a job as a television reporter, you may already know that there are advantages and disadvantages. It’s important to look at both sides before determining whether this is truly the job for you. This kind of television journalism job also offers excitement and fun. To be on a case, investigating a story and searching for the truth can be exhilarating and exciting. Moreover, the pay depends on what level of reporting you’re at. Obviously, more popular faces will get paid more because more people tune in to watch the reporter. Making a name for yourself can really kickstart your career and help it become very benefical for you. This is also a great stepping stone into other types of journalism, from writing jobs to news shows to talk shows. There’s also the benefit of really being able to help solve cases and ensure that the public is informed – depending upon what type of television reporter job you secure. To realize you’re doing a good thing is very rewarding in any job. Not only is television reporting a very demanding job, but it can come with extremely long hours. This means less time with family and loved ones, which can obviously put strain on relationships. In some cases, television reporting can also be dangerous. If you’re chasing stories that are related to crimes, there’s always the risk of injury, or death. Another con is that television reporting comes with its own set of discriminations. Individuals who are considered nice looking and attractive will have a higher chance of succeeding, because the public would rather tune in to watch an attractive person report the news. All in all, you need to look at your own desire and determine whether it’s truly important to you to pursue this industry.

Why is a television reporter susceptible with discrimination sometimes? A. There is not enough promotion to get a better position. B. The salary is lower than other professions. C. The salary depends on someone’s skills. D. Men are preferable to women in a reporting job. E. Attractive individuals will have a higher chance of succeeding.

air that flows from the Pacific Ocean. The flow of air is inhibited to move eastwards to Yuma. These Mountains were known to keep the heat in them. The weather pattern in the summer causes places like Utah, Nevada and Arizona to have high pressures. This high air pressures make the air in North Arizona move at latitudes, in height. Due to this reason, a place called Yuma in Arizona, which is situated at a higher altitude, experiences more heat and gets almost baked.

Jawaban: A Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru: Questions 14 and 15 refer to the following monolog. Once upon a time, at the edge of the sea, there was a rock, older than Time itself. Only The Unicorn used to go there, to watch the sea at sunset and soothe its sadness with the song of the sea. It always arrived lonely, as each night-time fell, it left even lonelier and sadder. Only the moonlight reflecting from its mythical horn lightened the darkness and its sadness. One day, at twilight, the sea gathered all of its waves at the foot of the rock. The watching Unicorn was puzzled. It had never seen so much foam in one place before and then, out of the sparkling foam, “She’ was born!” With a body of foam and a soul made of light, ‘She’ climbed the rock with steps of dreams and shadows. The Unicorn looked deep into her sea-like eyes and found true happiness. ‘She’ was its beloved! Since then, that ancient rock had been pummeled and crushed by the pounding waves of Time, and spread afar, throughout the seas of the world. We call that crushed ancient rock ‘sand’ and imagine that it knows only of the footprints trodden into it; though soon forgetting them, as the sea wipes away the bare-foot traces, but, in every grain of sand a memory remains, of the golden summer when The Unicorn found its true love!

Dad, would you please buy me a modem? I need it to find articles for my assignments. You can go to the Internet café nearby, right?

Arrange the following paragraphs to form a meaningful story. Wendy’s Summer Vacation 1.

So the next day Wendy and mother went down the street to see the lady. Her name was Mrs. Martin. She and Wendy seemed to like each other right away. Wendy told her she would visit her three days a week. On her first visit, Mrs. Martin told her that there was a trunk in the upstairs closet that had dolls in it and also a dollhouse.

2.

Wendy would miss her visits with Mrs. Martin, but she promised that she would see her as often as she could.

3.

Wendy was sitting by her bedroom window wondering what she was going to do for summer vacation. Just then her mother came into the room. “What’s the matter Wendy? Why are you so sad?” Her mother asked.

4.

Wendy had great fun playing with all the dolls and the dollhouse. It was furnished and decorated for all that lived in it. She loved going to Mrs. Martin’s.

5.

“Mommy, I can’t think of what to do this summer. I know I can play outside and go swimming in Grandma’s pool, but what else I can do?”

6.

Later that year, Wendy went to visit Mrs. Martin so she could pick out her kitten. She took the brown, fluffy female kitten. She named her “Summer” because that’s when she met her very best friend.

7.

When summer was about over, Mrs. Martin told her that one of her cats was going to have kittens and as soon as they were ready, she could pick one out for her own.

8.

Her mom thought, then she said, “I have an idea. There is a really nice lady living down the street, who is a friend of mine. She lives alone with her four cats. Her family lives far away. I think it would be nice if you would visit her once in a while this summer.”

Retell the story in Task A using your own words.

Contoh jawaban: Let me tell you my story. It happened in my philosophy class. One day my professor brought some items to the class. I could see there were a large empty mayonnaise jar, rocks about 5 cm in diameter, a box of pebbles and of sand. At first, without saying anything, he picked up the empty jar and proceeded to fill it with the rocks. Then he asked us whether the jar was full. We agreed that it was full. Then, my professor opened the box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar slightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the empty spaces between the rocks. Again, the professor asked, whether the jar was full. We agreed it was. We were quite amused to listen to these silly questions. Finally, my professor opened the box of sand and poured it into the jar. Obviously, the sand completely filled the remaining empty spaces. We felt quite puzzled about what the professor’s explanation would be. Soon after, the professor explained that what he had just done reflected our lives. He said that the rocks were important aspects. They were our families, friends, partners, health, children––anything that was so important to us that if it were lost, we would be almost destroyed. The professor then added that the pebbles were the other important matters like our jobs, our houses or car. Meanwhile, the sand, in his opinion, was everything else, the small stuff. Everyone appeared enthusiastic, listening to the professor’s explanation. The professor then continued that, had we put the sand into the jar first, there would have been no room for the pebbles or the rocks and like our life, if we spent all of our energy and time on the small stuff, then we would never have room for the things that were important to us. Before he closed the class, the professor reminded us to pay attention to the things that were critical to our happiness. Spend your time with others and do the most important things first. D.

Contoh jawaban: Let me tell you about unconditional love. One day, a young man and woman fell in love. However, the woman’s parents weren’t happy with their relationship, for the young man came from a poor family. So the young man decided not only to court the woman, but to court her parents as well. In time, the parents saw that he was a good man and was worthy of their daughter’s hand.

The man was a soldier. Soon, war broke out and he was sent overseas for a year. The week before he left, the man knelt on one knee and asked his lady love, “Will you marry me?” The young woman wiped a tear, said yes, and they were engaged. They agreed that when he got back in one year, they would get married. However, tragedy struck. A few days after he left, the girl had a major vehicular accident. It was a head-on collision. When she woke up in the hospital, she saw her father and mother crying. Immediately, she knew there was something wrong. Guess, what happened to the young lady? She later found out that she suffered brain injury. The part of her brain that controlled her face muscles was damaged. Her once lovely face was now disfigured. She cried as she saw herself in the mirror. “Yesterday, I was beautiful. Today, I’m a monster.” Her body was also covered with so many ugly wounds. Right there and then, she decided to release her fiancé from their promise. She knew he wouldn’t want her anymore. She would forget about him and never see him again. For one year, the soldier wrote many letters—but she wouldn’t answer. He phoned her many times but she wouldn’t return his calls. But after one year, the mother walked into her room and announced, “He’s back from the war.” The girl shouted, “No! Please don’t tell him about me. Don’t tell him I’m here!” The mother said, “He’s getting married,” and handed her a wedding invitation. The girl’s heart sank. She knew she still loved him—but she had to forget him now. With great sadness, she opened the wedding invitation and saw her name on it! Confused, she asked, “What is this?” That was when the young man entered her room with a bouquet of flowers. He knelt beside her and asked, “Will you marry me?” The girl covered her face with her hands and said, “I’m ugly!” The man said, “Without your permission, your mother sent me your photos. When I saw your photos, I realized that nothing has changed. You’re still the person I fell in love with. You’re still as beautiful as ever because I love you!” Adopted from: http://academictips.org/blogs/category/inspirational-stories/ (March 30, 2012)

Read aloud the text. Then, answer the questions that follow. A young and successful executive was driving down a neighborhood street, going a little too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down, after he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into his luxurious car’s side door! He slammed on the brakes and reversed his Jaguar to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, shouting to the first kid he saw, “What was that all about and who are you? See what you’ve just done! That’s a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do that?” The young boy was apologetic. “Please, Sir, I’m sorry, but I didn’t know what else to do,” he pleaded. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop.” With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. “That’s my brother,” he said. “He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I couldn’t lift him up.” Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.” Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. “Thank you and may God bless you,” the grateful child told the stranger.

They promised they would sing to him and lighten his labors. He paid no attention to their requests, but gave the tree a second and a third blow with his axe. When he reached the hollow of the tree, he found a hive full of honey. He tasted the honeycomb and then threw down his axe, because he considered the tree sacred, he took great care of it.

Write a short story that contains a good moral value.

Contoh jawaban: Long ago, there lived a little boy named Sammy. He was a good boy. He was good at his studies, obedient to his parents, more intelligent than the other boys in his class and kind to everyone. Adults, as well as those junior to Sammy loved him very much. But that aroused jealousy in many other boys who longed to be as loved as Sammy. There was another boy named Timmy who studied in the same class as Sammy. Unlike Sammy, he was not good at studies and always liked to play during school hours. He misbehaved with his parents, bullied his classmates and even ill-treated Sammy. He always tried to put Sammy down and belittle him before other kids in the class, but no matter what he did, Sammy’s grades kept getting better and better. Whether at studies, or in sports, or from his classmates, Sammy kept getting accolades from everywhere. On his eighth birthday, Sammy received a nice pen as a gift from his parents. He brought it to school so that he could use it to write down notes from the lectures that the teachers gave in class. This was a very beautiful pen and it could help one write very fast. When Timmy saw it, he was very jealous of Sammy. He asked Sammy, “Hey, where did you get that? Did you buy it?” “My parents gave it to me as a birthday gift.” replied Sammy. Timmy was overwhelmed with anger and jealousy. The bad boy that he was, he rarely got any presents from his parents. He decided to steal Sammy’s pen. During recess, when everyone had gone out from the class, Timmy opened Sammy’s bag and took his pen. Then he hid it in his bag and went out to have his tiffin. When Sammy came back and could not find his pen, he informed his class teacher about it. There was a hunt for the missing pen and the class teacher ordered the class monitor to search the bag of every child inside the class. The missing pen was soon found in Timmy’s bag and the furious teacher asked the errant boy, “Now Timmy, what do you have to say about it?” Timmy was in tears. He had nothing to say. When Sammy saw Timmy cry, he took pity on the boy. The kind boy that he was, he had no ill-feeling against his classmate. He requested his class teacher not to take any action against Timmy, now that his stolen pen was found. This opened Timmy’s eyes. He could now see what a good boy Sammy was. He apologized to his teacher and Sammy. From that day, he became friends with Sammy and gradually changed himself to be as good as Sammy. Everyone began to love Timmy and Sammy was proud of his new friend. Despite being hurt by Timmy, Sammy only gave him love in return. This is how we should also treat our enemies. Who knows? One day, our behaviour may just change them for the better. From the story, we can learn that we should not harm someone even if he harms us. We should be good to all.

The peacock received both of them very kindly in his arbor. “I have long wished to meet you,” said the blackbird. “Many have told me of your beauty and of your grace. I find that they did not tell me half.” He stroked the peacock’s coat lovingly as he praised him. The dove was silent. At last they bade the peacock goodbye, the blackbird making many low bows. As they started home, the blackbird said, “I hope I may never meet that stupid peacock again. I cannot bear him. Did you notice his feet? I felt like laughing every time I looked at them. His voice makes me shudder. What can anyone see to praise that bird?” “I did not notice his feet nor his voice,” said the dove. “He has a noble form and his dress is very beautiful. The rainbow and the flowers are not more beautiful.” The blackbird turned away in shame. He wished to hear fault about the peacock, but the dove gave it only the highest praise. Adopted from: http://www.rickwalton.com/folktale/50fabl26.htm (August 10, 2011)

Questions: 4. What can we conclude about the dove’s character? 5. What did the blackbird do to the peacock?

The Miserly Beggar The king was to pass by a beggar’s hut and the man was beside himself with excitement, not because he was about to see the king but because the king was known to part with expensive jewels and huge sums of money when moved by compassion. He saw the king’s chariot just as a kindly man was filling his begging bowl with uncooked rice. Pushing the man aside, he ran into the street, shouting praises of the king and the royal family. The chariot stopped and the king beckoned to the beggar. “Who are you?” he asked. “One of the most unfortunate of your subjects,” said the beggar. “Poverty sits on my doorstep and follows me about like a dog. I haven’t eaten since yesterday afternoon!” “Have you got nothing for your king, except a tale of woe?” said the ruler, putting out his hand. “Give me something.” The miserly beggar, astonished, carefully picked up 5 grains of rice from his bowl and laid them on the king’s outstretched palm. The king drove away. The beggar’s disappointment was great. He raved and ranted, and cursed the king again and again for his miserliness. Finally, his anger spent, he went on his rounds. When he returned home in the evening, he found a bag of rice on the floor. “Some generous soul has been here,” he thought and took out a handful of rice from the bag. To his astonishment there was a small piece of gold in it. He realized then that the bag had been sent by the king. He emptied the rice on the floor, feeling sure there would be more gold pieces in it, and he was right. He found 5, one for each grain of rice he had given the king.

Contoh jawaban: A terrifying cat had come to live in the big house. Every time the mice went into the kitchen for a nibble, the cat would send them scampering. “We’ll starve!” they shouted, and decided to have a council meeting. One by one the mice spoke, but no one could think of a plan. Finally, a boastful mouse stepped forward and proclaimed his idea to be best. He explained, in detail, how a small bell attached to the cat’s collar would warn them all of his approach. Putting himself on his own back for the excellent idea, he sat down. The oldest mouse stood up and said, “You are a very clever fellow to think of a plan like that! But, now tell us, are you brave enough to put the bell on the cat?” Adopted from: http://www.storyarts.org/library/aesops/stories/miceincouncil.html (May 28, 2009)

Questions 1 to 3 refer to the following dialog. Girl : Hey, you look gloomy. What’s wrong with you? Boy : Well, I’ve lost my biology paper. You know, it’s due date today. Girl : Where did you put it? Boy : I don’t remember. Girl : Well, that’s your problem then. You’re too forgetful and careless. It has happened a couple of times that you lost something, right. Boy : Yeah, I admit that it is my weakness. Girl : In my opinion, it’s time for you to change. List everything you have done, or to be done. Add notes of where you keep, or put anything. Don’t forget to put everything in its proper place. Boy : Thanks for your advice. I’ll try that. Questions: 1. How is the boy’s feeling? 2. What happened to the boy? 3. What should the boy do about it? Questions 4 and 5 refer to the following monolog. One day, a frog decided to investigate a barn. He was hopping around a farmyard. However, being somewhat careless, and maybe a little too curious, he ended up falling into a pail half-filled with fresh milk. The frog attempted to reach the top of the pail, but he found that the sides of the pail were too high and steep to reach. Then, he tried to stretch his back legs to push off the bottom of the pail, but found it too deep. Even though it seemed impossible for him to get out of the pail, he was determined not to give up. He continued to struggle. He kicked and squirmed and kicked and squirmed, until at last, all his churning about in the milk had turned the milk into a big hunk of butter. The butter was now solid enough for him to climb onto and get out of the pail! Adopted from: http://allaboutfrogs.org/stories/butter.html (November 20, 2011)

Questions: 4. What happened to the frog when he investigated the barn? 5. What can you learn from the story?

The following text is for questions 16 to 20. There was once a little girl who had a bad temper. Her mother gave her a bag of nails and told her that every time she lost her temper, she must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. On the first day the girl had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as she learned to control her anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled. She discovered it was easier to control her temper than to drive nails into the fence. Finally, the day came when the girl didn’t lose her temper at all. She told her mother about it and her mother suggested that she should now extract one nail for each day that she was able to control her temper. The days passed and the young girl was finally able to tell her mother that all the nails have been extracted. The mother took her daughter by the hand and led her to the fence. She said, “You have done well, my daughter, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like these.”

We should think about getting a better solution. C. We shouldn’t make rude comments to other people. D. We should control our temper, otherwise we will hurt other’s feelings. E. We should not judge others from their appearance. 20. Arrange the following sentences to form a meaningful paragraph. (1) All the trees and houses were swept away but a boulder, which he once had been cutting, as a stone cutter, was unmoved and unchanged. (2) One sunny day, after working very hard, he sat in the shade and fell asleep. (3) “How powerful the sun is,” he thought, “I would rather be the sun than the king.” (4) The stone cutter, now a cloud, was amazed because the rock was powerful. “Only a stone cutter could change the rock, with his skills. How I wish I were a stonecutter.” He murmured. (5) At once, he became the sun. He shone at the earth too strongly. But no matter how hard he shone, he could not see through the clouds. (6) Once upon a time, there lived a stone cutter in a small village. He worked hard all day long, cutting hard stones, to make the shapes ordered by his customers. (7) During his sound sleep, he dreamt about becoming a king. The stone cutter, now the king, was going in a palanquin. The sun shone brightly at that time. Thus, the king felt uncomfortable and hot in the palanquin. (8) No sooner had he said those words that he found himself sitting on a stone with hard and rough hands. He picked up his tools and set to work on the boulder, happily. (9) Then, the stone cutter wished to be the clouds. Suddenly, he found himself turn into a huge dark cloud and poured rain onto the fields and caused floods. Adapted from: http://www.kidsgen.com/short_stories/stone_cutter.htm (September 4, 2012)

Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru: Do you know the movie entitled The Possession? The movie is about a young girl who buys an antique box at a yard sale, unaware that inside the box lives a malicious ancient spirit. The girl’s father teams up with his ex-wife to work hard and find a way to end the curse upon their child. The movie stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan, from Eat, Pray, Love, Natasha Calis, Kyra Sedgwick, Madison Davenport and others. The movie belongs to the horror movie category. You know, I usually dislike horror movies, but love them at the same time. Dislike it, because I can’t control myself from screaming and close my eyes during horror scenes. Love it, because horror movies always leave me in suspense. In my opinion, The Possession starts real slow. The first 40 minutes were boring, with nothing really scary, but too obvious and predictable. At first, I thought this movie was going to suck, but it turned out so good after the first 40 minutes. I closed my eyes so many times . . . and held my breath. I almost jumped from my chair. The only annoying thing about this movie was the transition from each scene. There were lots of fade out-fade in transitions. It’s like an amateur editing the movie. Seriously, fade out-fade in transition for a 94 minutes movie? That’s intolerable. Apart from the negative side, the acting of the casts is superb. I didn’t find any flaws from the casts. Natasha Calis is amazing; I love her. The way she acts as the possessed girl is just amazing. The way she cries, screams and acting all scared were very convincing. She’s going to be a big star! The casts truly save the whole movie for I think the story isn’t really interesting. So, if you’re looking for a good horror movie for weekend, I recommend you see this movie. Not really scary, but scary enough to make you close your eyes during some scenes.

evil betrayed posh choice to play

In my opinion, the movie gives Snow White an unresolved and franchise-friendly romantic choice between the Huntsman and a charming prince named William, played by Sam Claflin. Unlike Julia Roberts’s feebly evasive version, this movie does at least tackle head-on the Queen’s sexual jealousy and Theron has an interesting steely coldness at first. However, she is soon reduced to screeching like a villainess in that all-purpose Bardspeak accent. Snow White, her stepdaughter, leads a revolution against the queen’s misrule and has the power to cure the people’s physical ailments. Like other Snow White movies, this movie also presents seven dwarves. The dwarves are badass forest brigands played by British character actors, but with a Narnia touch. It all becomes very drawn out and like Mirror Mirror, tries to fix what isn’t broken: the poignant clarity of Snow White being betrayed by a non-mother and then having to be a quasi-mother to seven dwarves. That is evidently far too babyish and needs to be sexed up, or rather teen-abstinenced up. The result is tangled and overblown. So, if you’re curious about this movie, get the DVD soon. At least, you could see Kirsten Stewart’s acting, outside Twillight. Adapted from: http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2012/may/31/snow-white-and-huntsmanreview (January 20, 2013)

Contoh jawaban: Do you like seeing action movies? If you do, you must see an Indonesian movie entitled The Raid: Redemption. The Raid: Redemption which is directed by Gareth Evans resembles the best of the ’80s cult action movies. It brings back the star of Merantau, Iko Uwais. The action in The Raid: Redemption starts early and never really relents. Uwais fights his way through one room full of bad guys, one after another. Meanwhile, the building’s occupants make tough life-or-death decisions, choosing whether to help the police or stay out of the way. There are a few tense, twisty suspense sequences, as the gangsters hunt the heroes. However, for the most part, The Raid: Redemption’s plot is not complicated. Of course the ‘story’ is not what most people will look for from The Raid: Redemption. The emphasis here is speed. The fight choreography is quick, designed to make viewers gasp and then cheer. The only real knock against the film is that there’s no real variation in tone or plot from start to finish. Adopted from: http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-raid-redemption,71283 (March 24, 2012)

Retell the text in Task A using your own words.

Contoh jawaban: Have you seen another Kirsten Stewart’s movie adapted from a famous fairy tale? Right, the movie is entitled Snow White and the Huntsman, directed by Rupert Sanders. This movie was realeased a few months after Mirror Mirror, another version of Snow White. In this latest version, Snow White is like a cross between Aslan and Joan of Arc. It’s very different from the jovialness of Julia Roberts in Mirror Mirror, but both have a similar basic problem. In Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart plays Snow White, the heroine. Another actress supporting this movie is Charlize Theron as the sexy evil queen with headgear modelled on the Disney animation. Meanwhile, Chris Hemsworth plays the huntsman, who is now a full-blown romantic lead, a hunky-stubbly protector with an accent like Russell Crowe in Robin Hood.

The early 1980s were difficult times in Britain. They were the hard times when Margaret Thatcher became the country’s first woman prime minister in 1979. By the time she quit in 1990, the Russians had fondly dubbed her The Iron Lady and Britain had changed irrevocably. Much of the drama and trauma that the nation underwent during her tenure in the 1980s is glossed over by director Phyllida Lloyd’s venture in this movie. The movie merely skims the surface of all that Britain underwent; instead it chooses to focus on the personality of Thatcher. There is no complexity or counterpoint on offer. Luckily, director Lloyd has Meryl Streep in the protagonist’s part. Streep’s magnetic performance makes up for the script’s shallowness. Streep and her long-standing makeup man J. Roy Helland earned Oscars for their work in the film. They almost make us believe, as if we are watching the real Thatcher in action. Streep not only captures the walk, the gait, the voice and the diction of the former British Prime Minister, but also the transformation into Thatcher’s personality that comes with her growing confidence in the job. The early hesitancy is replaced with authority and arrogance. The sharp physical contrast between Thatcher as Prime Minister and the frail, faltering Thatcher of later years, who keeps talking to her dead husband, is stunning. As a movie, The Iron Lady would have been dumped in the category of less-than-satisfying biopics. However, Streep and Helland have not only ensured that the movie engages the regular viewers, but have also made it a ‘must-watch’ in every acting workshop.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is based on the fantasy novel of CS Lewis. In this film, the youngest of the kids Edmund and Lucy go back to Narnia accompanied by their intolerable cousin Eustace. Thus, Skander Keynes and Georgie Henley start their adventure on the high seas and Dark Island. This movie gives you all the fun that you expect from a Narnia movie. The mean Eustace will be seen finding his noble side and thus giving you another moral lesson. The special effects used in the movie are watch worthy and will transport you to the fairy tale world. It keeps your interest level intact with appealing 3D effects and fire dragons. However, one will be surprised to see the reluctant Eustace turning out to be a true hero at the end. He fights fearlessly against the wicked creatures and sea serpents. However, Aslan and the mean White Witch were not seen much in action, probably due to their growing age. This in no way affects the thrill of watching the movie at the weekend. Adopted from: http://www.realbollywood.com/news/2010/12/review-the-chroniclesnarnia-3-mesmerizing-journey.html (March 2, 2011)

Much like actors in early films, star Jean Dujardin performs marvelously. A challenging role, to say the least, Dujardin never pushes himself too far and we always know exactly how he feels and what’s going through his mind. What’s more, the French actor looks as though he’s been ripped straight out of the era, looking perfectly natural wearing a tailcoat tuxedo and sporting a pencil-thin moustache. He sells the drama, makes us laugh and is, in short, perfect as George Valentin. Despite its flaws, The Artist really is a delightful film. A love letter to an age of cinema has gone by, it aims to reflect and recapture the spirit of some of the earliest films and does succeed in that regard. The movie isn’t revolutionary and doesn’t aim to create a whole new wave of silent filmmaking, but it is a fun diversion.

Contoh jawaban: Movie Review: The Artist By Eric Eisenberg The movie industry abandoned black-and-white silent films 80 years ago. However, the spirit of the film in the past is back with writer/director Michel Hazanavicius’s The Artist. Set in the late 1920s, the story centers on George Valentin (Jean Dujardin), a famous movie star who is truly on top of the world. His movies are some of the biggest in Hollywood and he is constantly surrounded by fans who heap praise upon him. One day, by pure chance, he meets a young background actor named Peppy Miller (Berenica Bejo), with whom he has an instant connection. Ignoring the warnings from a powerful producer (John Goodman) that talkies are becoming the big thing, George refuses to change his act. He watches his career sink lower and lower as Peppy rides the talkie wave and grows bigger and bigger. While the presentation and performances are terrific, The Aritst’s derivative story prevents it from being a great film. The story of the silent film actor being pushed aside to make way for talkies is hardly new. As a result, the whole thing smells of Michel Hazanavicius first deciding that he wanted to make a silent film and then finding the simplest story to tell in that format. This reverse engineering sadly dampens the film and while you can still have fun and feel for the main character, it’s never going to reach the heights audiences expect.

Questions 4 and 5 refer to the following monolog. Let me give you a review about a movie entitled Mama. You know something is up when what looks like a cheapie fright flick is produced by Guillermo Del Toro and boasts an Oscarnominated actress in Jessica Chastain. Mama, directed by Andrés Muschietti, doesn’t live up to its potential, but the film knows how to creep you out. Two sisters, Victoria, played by Megan Charpentier, and Lilly, by Isabelle Nélisse, considered dead for five years, are found in the wilderness. The feral girls are taken in by their uncle Lucas, played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and his raven-haired girlfriend Annabel, by Chastain, who try to solve the mystery of how they survive and why they still seem to be haunted by a menacing ghost they call “Mama.” To get a taste of the film’s eerie essence, check out the acclaimed short of the same title, it’s on You Tube, that director Andrés Muschietti and his producer sister, Barbara, crafted in 2008. The feature-length Mama – which Neil Cross wrote with the Muschiettis – can’t hide its stretch marks. However, Chastain digs deep, going beyond the call of scream-queen duty to find the passion that gives horror a pulse.

Questions 4 and 5 refer to the following monolog. Although it is an old movie, Pasir Berbisik or Whispering Sands is one of the best Indonesian movies. Let’s review it. Directed by Nan Achnas, Indonesia’s most prominent woman director, Pasir Berbisik has an enchanted, dreamlike atmosphere. It took East Java desert as its setting. The widescreen landscape shots of shifting sands and swirling dust storms are both gorgeous and haunting. The film is filled with the mythological beliefs of residents of the village where it is set and the way figures emerge, ghostlike, from the dust and sand that constantly blows across the land to give them a mystical presence. The heart of the story is the relationship between a woman named Berlian and her daughter, Daya. An intriguing mix of other worldly visions and real-world turmoil, Pasir Berbisik haunts the viewer with images that linger in the mind long after the film ends.

Gie is a film adapted from a book entitled Catatan Seorang Demonstran (Notes of a Demonstrator), a collection of journal entries by Soe Hok Gie. The film tells the life story of the famous young, Indonesian-Chinese activist named Gie. The movie starts from Gie’s teenage life during high school. Some scenes show the critical nature of Gie and the fact that he always expresses his opinion since he was young. Also, several scenes show his interest in languages and books. He spends his free time by reading, or writing articles and he always writes in his journal every day. His critical behavior reaches a peak when he enters University of Indonesia, Facully of Letters, majoring in History. There is revolution at that time. Gie then decides to establish a new organization with his friends named “MAPALA”. Gie also writes articles about Indonesia’s government for several newspapers, such as Kompas and Sinar Harapan. The film not only tells Gie’s life as an activist. There are also several scenes focused on Gie’s private life, with the role of fictional characters intended to dramatize the story. All of them can be played by Nicholas Saputra as the main character. The film’s duration prevented director Riri Riza from being able to deliver a complete picture of Gie. Some parts seem unclear, such as Gie’s father’s silent and reclusive characteristics. Gie himself doesn’t seem as outspoken as we would expect from a young activist. Overall, this movie is about Soe Hok Gie’s path of life. This is a good movie for anyone who wants to know more, or recall the figure of Soe Hok Gie—a young famous activist in the 60’s.

The following text is for questions 16 to 20. Review: Hugo By Manohla Dargis Hugo, an enchantment from Martin Scorsese, is the 3-D children’s movie that you might expect from the director of Raging Bull and Goodfellas. It’s serious, beautiful, wise to the absurdity of life and in the embrace of a piercing longing. The movie is based on the book The Invention of Hugo Cabret, but is also very much an expression of the filmmaker’s love for the movies. Gracefully adapted by John Logan, the movie involves a lonely, melancholic orphan, Hugo (Asa Butterfield), who in the early 1930s tends to all the clocks in a Parisian train station. Seemingly abandoned by his uncle, the station’s official timekeeper (Ray Winstone), Hugo lives alone, deep in the station’s interior, in a dark, dusty, secret apartment that was built for employees. There he sleeps and naturally dreams, mostly of fixing a delicate automaton that his dead father, a clockmaker (Jude Law), found once upon a time. The automaton is all that remains of a happy past. Hugo is the tale of a boy, one of fiction’s sentimental orphans. While you can guess what happens, it’s the getting there—how the clock is wound—that surprises and often delights. Waves of melancholy wash over the story. There is something poignant and paradoxical about Mr. Scorsese’s honoring a film pioneer in digital (and in 3-D, no less), yet these moving pictures left for a time and entered once again through the love of the audience.

Maybe it’s one of your favorite songs. Now, let’s see someone’s review about the song. It is not a new argument for money concerns to get in the way of delivering the highest quality popular music. However, there is something about Jessie J’s laidback vibe that makes us want to listen again and nod our heads in agreement. The sound is soulful and surprisingly restrained. There is depth and verses to mull over in your head. From a marketing standpoint, it seems wise to have Price Tag as the first Jessie J’s single with a major push in the US. Price Tag will sit comfortably next to hits by either Bruno Mars or Katy Perry. Pop radio is already snatching up the song and you will soon be singing, “forget about the price tag” in the car.

The Woman in Black shares the same experience as being in a haunted house. There’s some tension between jump scares, but ultimately, you know there’s no real risk of danger. The Woman in Black is about Arthur Kipps, a young lawyer (Daniel Radcliffe) visiting a remote village to collect paperwork from a deceased woman’s house. As he arrives, the locals give him the cold shoulder and he quickly discovers the suspiciously spooky mansion, is indeed haunted. The scorned woman is horrifying the local community, taking the lives of their children from time to time. As Arthur spends more time in the house, it becomes clear that the locals aren’t crazy and there’s some spooky stuff going on at the wealthy estate. I’m sure everyone is wondering about Radcliffe’s performance, but he’s not the star of the film. The estate is the spotlight in The Woman in Black. It really is the one and only scary aspect of this film. The rundown house on an island oozes atmosphere and one would have to be bearing with courage, or filled with stupidity, to venture around the home alone investigating noises, like Arthur did. Some will dispute that this film has an excellent classic vibe, proving a horror movie can be done well without violence. There’s tension, suspense, a few well-placed jump scares and you have no idea what’s going to happen next. Adopted from: http://www.ugo.com/movies/the-woman-in-black-review (March 29, 2012)

The following text is for questions 16 to 20. Review: John Carter By Chris Tookey Andrew Stanton’s two animated hits, Finding Nemo and Wall-E, gave him the right to fail–a privilege he exercises to the full with this year’s first mega-disaster, John Carter 3D. Handsome, muscular war veteran John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) is prospecting for gold in Arizona. He is doing a wretched impersonation of John Wayne when he finds himself transported to a densely populated Mars–called Barsoom by its inhabitants. Here, he encounters Tharks, 12ft-tall green aliens with tusks, who ride Thoats, huge eight-legged hamsters. The Tharks admire Mr. Carter’s superpower–he’s able to jump really, really high, which makes him a cert for a couple of gold medals in any Martian Olympics. In the absence of such a sporting event, Carter becomes reluctantly involved in a war between the human tribes of Mars. The red-skinned Heliumites are led by peace-loving King Tardos Mors (Ciaran Hinds) and his daughter, a brilliant scientist turned warrior princess. Most strikingly, the hero does practically everything Daniel Craig did in Cowboys & Aliens: wake up on a desert with an amulet, discover new powers and suffer troubling flashbacks about a dead woman he couldn’t protect. More than £160 million was spent on the movie, and the Utah scenery and special effects are reasonably impressive. But a couple of quid should have been spent on making the plot halfway plausible–and at least a tiny bit comprehensible. The scale is epic and the visuals expensive, but the human element is missing, along with narrative skills and even the tiniest trace of humour. Without these, this science fiction never stood an earthly.

Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru: Hi, everybody. I’m going to review a laptop which I think is worth buying. We all know that today tablet PC’s are very dominant in the market. Most people carry their tablets wherever and whenever they go. However, this condition doesn’t discourage Avionindo, a famous laptop producer, to launch its slimmest and lightest laptop, named W1N 007. It only weighs 0.8 kilograms. It has a 14inch screen, very smooth keyboard, 2GB DDR3 memory, 329GB HDD and long lasting battery. The weakness is that it only uses a dual core processor. In some cases, it affects its speed. As a conclusion, despite of its little weakness, W1N 007 is the best choice for you who need a slim and light laptop for doing your jobs. Adopted from: http://fcpltab.wordpress.com/category/reviews/page/2/ (March 24, 2012)

Bapak/Ibu Guru membacakan teks listening berikut. Teks yang dibacakan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru: Hi, today I’m going to review a book entitled The Last Olympian written by Rick Riordan. This book is about the final battle against Kronos. Well, Kronos is going to take over Mount Olympus in New York. Guess who’s going to stop him. Percy and his gang! It’s up to him and the rest of his friends to stop Kronos from taking over New York and let me tell you, it’s one epic battle against him. The author pushes his ability to the limit as he explains the battle scenes in so much detail. However, the part that really shines, is the part with Luke and Percy, that was so emotional and entertaining, that it was so good. Also, I like how the author introduces the mix of Greek Mythology with something modern, he does this so well too. So my final response is that it is good and definitely worth to wait, so read it and good luck on your quest! Adopted from: http://fcpltab.wordpress.com/category/reviews/page/2/ (March 24, 2012)

This book is filled with questions and answers about sunlight, time and seasons. Thirty-one questions about time and seasons are asked and answered in this book.

Tell the class the review of a book you like.

Contoh jawaban: Let me give you a review of the book I have just read. The title is Shadow of the Hegemon and it was written by Orson Scott Card. Well, in the beginning of the novel, the members of Ender’s army return to Earth where they are all kidnapped, except for Bean. The kidnapper is Achilles, who wants to use the Battle School graduates to help him dominate the world. Bean convinces Peter to reveal Achilles as the perpetrator of the kidnappings and each of the kidnapped children is rescued except for Petra. Achilles has Petra’s plan for war between India and Burma when in reality he is secretly working for China. In the end, Bean, with the help of Peter, foils Achilles’ plan and saves Petra. Peter is then given the title of Hegemon to rule the world. Shadow of the Hegemon is a good book because it is filled with action and adventure and simultaneously has characters that are very real and easy to relate to.

Jawaban: 1. A book entitled The Moneyless Man, Kisah Nyata Setahun Hidup Tanpa Uang. 2. Gandhi. 3. He decided to live a year without money. 4. The culture of cooperation and mutual help existed strongly. 5. They feel confortable. 6. Because they compete against each other in an attempt to get as much money as they can. 7. He had created an environmentally friendly house for him to live in. 8. He wants peacefulness, not conflict; he wants friendship, not fights. He wants to see people make peace with the planet, ourselves and all the other species that inhabit it. 9. It refers to the readers. 10. It is destruction.

Writing Style: The research behind the book is vast as it uses other biographies, commentaries and press reports. Detail is a positive aspect of this book and very frequently historical personalities have been quoted in the book. The chronology is brilliant and chapters, though lengthy, either describe stages of Gandhi’s personal growth or focus on important historical events like Dandi March, Noncooperation movement, Independence, etc. Gandhi’s images in the book have a certain emotional touch to them. My Thoughts: The book is a brilliant lesson in understanding Gandhi and how he influenced India’s freedom struggle. It is disappointing that the principles which freed a nation are not practiced anymore. Gandhi is the perfect role model for an honest and simple life. Religious and cultural differences have always been our weakness, but one man dared to overlook all such differences; the result is before our eyes. Of course such principles should be gradually realized through thoughts and action; blind acceptance will just make us weak. Gandhi found solutions to most social problems and these solutions hold, even in today’s industrialized world. Only self-discovery can help us truly appreciate the man who confronted an Empire, his own divided people, his adversaries and most of all, his self.

Rajmohan Gandhi Karan Mehta

Summary: Mohandas is a biographical description of Mohandas Gandhi, well known as Mahatma Gandhi. It observes Mohandas grow from a timid child in Gujarat to a man who goes against all odds while adhering to his principles of non-violence, self-dependence, simplicity and equality to bring about revolutions, first in South Africa and then in India. It starts with the boy Mohandas’ family and social ties, his experiences as a 13 year old husband, his difficulty in accepting religious norms and his ambition to study in England after his father’s demise. As a young man studying law in England, he zealously develops simplicity in life, a zeal he would retain for the rest of his life. A job search takes him to South Africa where he starts Satyagraha and wins Rights for Indians there. Coming back to India as a well-known reformer, he popularizes his principles and wins the hearts of millions, uniting them despite religious and political differences. Till his assassination in 1948, he tried to bring peace between India and Pakistan. Social/Historical Context: The development and meaning of Gandhi’s principles are in focus. This simple man tore through all kinds of differences, helped alleviate poverty and outcastes, found a way, the charkha, to make millions self-dependent. Simplicity and non-violence can go a long way even today with the Neta Raj replacing the Empire. Gandhi won over various politicians and leaders with his principles and dedication to the Indian cause and this serves as an inspiring lesson to many who have similar ideals.

When Chris finds a wallet on the street, he tries to return it to its owner. In trouble at home and school, he is struggling to do the right thing. However, as circumstances slowly start unraveling and his whole life appears heading down the drain, Chris realizes that the person who owns the wallet looks a lot like him and has a life he would do almost anything for. What if he switched identities? What if he became someone else? This book is very interesting. I think it is very good! I think the book ends unexpectedly. I was reading the book and before I knew it, I was finished and I thought there may be more story left, but it is still a really great book.

Contoh jawaban: Lion Fables Written and illustrated by Jan Ormerod Paperback Reviewed by Maureen Pugh This book contains both Aesop’s fable “The Lion and the Mouse”, as well as the Malaysian fable “The Hare’s Revenge”. The stories are retold and illustrated by award-willing author and illustrator Jan Ormerod. “The Lion and the Mouse” is about the familiar tale of a little mouse, who captured by the self-acclaimed “King of the Beasts”, bargains for its life with an offer of friendship and aid should the lion ever need him. Amused by the offer, the lion lets the mouse go, never thinking he actually will need the aid of such a small creature. Yet in only a matter of days, the lion is captured in a hunter’s net. The mouse sets the lion free by nibbling the rope in two, and the lion is humbled and grateful. The Malaysian fable “The Hare’s Revenge” is a bit darker. In this tale, the lion is a “bully and a fool” who boasts and rages about how strong and brave he is. His poor neighbor, the hare, can stand it no longer and decides to get his revenge. He tells the lion about another lion who has declared that he is the King of the woods. The hare leads the boastful lion to the new lion’s “hiding place” at the bottom of a well. Tricked by his own reflection, the enraged lion flings himself down the well never to be seen again. The illustrations of both stories are dramatic, with the lion’s head sometimes taking up the whole page. Jan Ormerod is able to depict the different backgrounds–arid desert and lush Malaysian countryside–with minimal brushstrokes. The illustrations instead focus on the animals and are quite striking and expressive. Between the two stories is a page that has teacher’s notes, with some interesting tips on how to talk to children about the stories. Although they are designed for classroom use, the suggestions would be of interest to parents teaching their own children as well.

Questions 4 and 5 refer to the following monolog. I’m going to review Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson. This book is about a girl named Matilda. She lives in Philadelphia. In that place, the yellow fever is going around. Many people were dying from it. It reached a point where nobody could go outside and if there was a certain color flag on the door, that would mean that a member of the family house has yellow fever. Matilda’s mom catches yellow fever and Matilda goes away with her grandpa. So this book is about surviving until the frost comes and the germs will die. So you will have to read the whole book to find out, whether Matilda or her mother will survive the yellow fever! Adopted from: http://fcpltab.wordpress.com/category/reviews/page/2/ (March 24, 2012)

Questions: 4. What is the sign that someone has yellow fewer? 5. Who goes away with Matilda?

The following text is for questions 6 to 9. The 7 Professors of the Far North

: 2 (dua) : ....

This book follows three young people, Zara, Sam and Ben, as they attempt to find their uncle and his friends after being kidnapped. It leads them onto an icy adventure in the north pole, with lots of action and excitement. The main characters are Sam, Zara and Ben, who are spending their holidays together with Zara and Ben’s Uncle Alexander in Edinburgh. Other important characters in the book are professor Murdo, an eccentric and power crazed professor who is obsessed with genetic engineering, Marcia Slick, who has been subjected to a course of treatment by her parents, but never wanted it and 5 other academics, friends of Alexander, who are kidnapped along with him. The story goes that Alexander and the5 professors, along with professor Murdo, set up a research facility and university upon the isolated and hard to reach island of Nordbergen, in the Arctic sea. However, Murdo’s ambition soon got the better of him, and he left all the other professors stranded when they refused to cooperate with him. Many years later, he kidnaps the other 6 professors and takes them to his secret hideaway. It is up to Zara, Sam and Ben to find them before it is too late. The book is worth a look, but is probably better suited for younger readers and to me some of the aspects of the book seemed a little unoriginal.

Seminar promotion

Dear Ms. Jeanne, Would you like to learn how to be more successful and make more money? Well, that’s a silly question. Of course you would. The point is, you’d like to do it without spending thousands on a bloated seminar that’s going to tell you about training your mind and changing your life. You don’t need a seminar to change your life; you need someone to give you real-world advice on building your business and becoming successful! That’s what I’m offering. My seminar, Property Business Explosion, is a real-world look at the business of property. Who wants to spend a few thousand bucks on a weekend at an expensive hotel talking about philosophy and training to walk on hot coals? If you want philosophy, read Shakespeare! I link you up with a few dozen other professionals in property and present sound intelligent ideas that you can put into action today! That’s what you need to increase your success, and that’s what you get. In addition, you’ll receive some books and CDs that you can take with you and use both to aid and chart your success. It’s all part of the Business Explosion plan: addressing real-world issues in no-nonsense terms and changing the way you think to change your business! Attending Property Business Explosion costs only Rp300,000. That’s much less than many of the big, competing seminars. So you’ll get more for your money and take away more knowledge that you can apply immediately. If you’d like more information, just reply to this e-mail and I’ll send you a complete information kit. Take this opportunity to build your career! I look forward to meeting you.

: : :

Number of Stars :

Marcus Sedgwick 9–10, 11–12, Adult Historical Fiction, Mystery, Realistic, Science-Fiction Four Stars

What an excellent book this turned out to be! Marcus Sedgwick, being one of my favorite authors has done it again! His style of writing is superb and I enjoy reading his works. The Foreshadowing is about a 17–year–old girl named Sasha living in WW1. Trying to pursue her dreams of becoming a nurse, she discovers she has the ability to see the future, and know when someone is about to die. As the war begins, Sasha gets the opportunity to work in a hospital, caring and aiding the young wounded soldiers of the war. Though the more she is around these soldiers, the more deaths she sees. As these deaths come to pass, she begins to worry about herself. No one will believe her so called “stories”. Then, her brother joins the army, and she begins to see visions of her brother’s own death and Sasha decides that she has to do something about it while there is still time, for her brother’s life and her own. Will she be able to save her brother in time? This book was very well constructed and stayed true to the time period of which it was written. That style of writing wasn’t laid on too thick which made it easier to read. I was quite happy with the strength of all of the characters, and their determined personalities made this book quite a page turner. It is a quick read for an avid reader like myself and one of the best historical fictions I’ve ever read. The only problem I had with the book was that I was expecting a more complex and twisted ending, though the ending was good, I thought there could have been something more complicated involved. So in the end, it’s a great book and I recommend it to the historical fiction lovers.

16. What is the purpose of the text? A. To tell the readers about past events. B. To entertain the readers. C. To describe a particular thing. D. To analyze and evaluate a creative work. E. To persuade the readers to do something. 17. What is the genre of the story? A. A historical fiction. B. C. Action. D. E. Romance.

An adventure. Non-fiction.

18. What is special about Sasha? A. She can heal people’s sickness. B. She can influence people to obey her. C. She knows when someone is going to die. D. She can go to everywhere she likes quickly. E. She knows when someone has evil purpose to her. 19. “It is a quick read for an avid reader like myself.” (Last paragraph) The synonym of ‘avid’ is ________. A. very smart B. so bored C. very ignorant D. very interested E. unenthusiastic 20. What does the reviewer say about the ending of the book? A. It was hanging. B. It was confusing. C. It was fascinating. D. It was good, but not complicated enough. E. It was twisted, but not really understandable. II.

Contoh jawaban: From Darkness Won (Blood of Kings, Book 3) By Jill Williamson Review by Christian Miles The adventure has ended! Readers have fallen in love with Achan and Vrell. This is the final tale Achan and Vrell embark on one last journey, an epic battle, and take the final stand to push back Darkness or perish. This is it, the final book of the Blood of Kings trilogy. Achan and Vrell have come far. They’ve fought Black Knights in Darkness, freed prisoners from icy cells, escaped the wrath of a bloodthirsty usurper . . . but now they’ve found themselves in the midst of a war. Everything hangs in the balance, and if the Crown Prince cannot take the throne at Armonguard, Darkness will consume all the land. Our final foray into the land of Er’rets couldn’t have been better. I don’t know how she did it, but somehow Jill Williamson managed to write the perfect last book to her Blood of Kings trilogy, tying up every loose end with flair. From Darkness Won had me up until 3 a.m. reading. It bonded to my hands the moment I picked it up, refusing to be put down until the last page fell. Five stars and a standing ovation are in order, I think. Very highly recommended. Adopted from: http://novelteen.wordpress.com/ (March 24, 2012)

Freeman Dyson’s exploration of science and technology at the end of the 20th century is provocative and brilliant. Whether he’s debating the best method of averting Earth-bound comets or envisioning humanity’s postbiological future in deep space, Dyson’s intelligence and direct writing style will grip you. “Imagined Worlds” contains excellent chapters on the anatomy of scientific progress, genetic engineering, the digital revolution and near-future astronomy. Dyson excels in critical science writing that inspires and invigorates. Adopted from: http://mactonnies.com/scitech.html (March 27, 2012)

re: information request

Dear Mr. McAdam, With reference to your last e-mail regarding the current situation with the Skipton Airport Project, I can confirm the following: We successfully completed stage 2 on Monday and at present we are preparing to start stage 3. On the whole, the project is going well. We have not encountered any problems with the machinery, but there are still some minor issues with the delivery system. As was pointed out at our last meeting, the problem with the delivery system is due to the software. It is a very common software issue and we just need time to correct the code. Rest assured that this issue is being looked into and we are confident that it will be resolved by the end of the month. Please accept my apologies for not receiving a copy of the updated Project Report earlier. Please find attached a copy of the report below: Concerning your question about the post-installation support package, I can confirm that we provide both remote and call-out site support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This covers remote monitoring, a service every 3 months, service engineer visits and the cost of all parts and labor. With regards to your request to extend the period of post-installation support from 6 months to 12 months, may I suggest that we discuss this matter at the next project update meeting? I hope that these answer your questions. If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me on my cell phone, 07340 7602133. I look forward to hearing from you.

At the age of 16 each person is tested to see which faction they are best suited for, but each person is given the freedom of choice to choose where he or she would like to spend adulthood. If Beatrice should choose to leave her faction, however, she will rarely, if ever see her family again. When she is tested, she finds that she does not fit easily into any faction and therefore has mixed results. She can truly choose any faction she wants. The choice she makes surprises everyone and she worries she has made a mistake. Can she survive initiation in order to feel she is a true member of her faction?

Contoh jawaban: Borderlands of Science by Charles Sheffield is an arresting guide to physics, chemistry and biology written by a seasoned science fiction writer. Borderlands, while a fun factual adventure for readers of any persuasion, is especially good reading for aspiring writers. Sheffield’s prose is brisk and conversational, and his book successfully balances the seriousness of science with the sheer fun it can be when translated to the medium of fiction. Borderlands is a compulsively readable refresher course comparable to the popular science works of Carl Sagan and Isaac Asimov. Adopted from: http://mactonnies.com/scitech.html (March 27, 2012)

There are about 100 species of wild tulip, growing right across Asia. Tulips come in most colours, but blue. Reds and yellows are common, but they vary from white to deep purple. There are over 4,000 garden varieties. Adopted from: John Farndon, 1000 Facts on Plants, Essex, Miles Kelly Publishing, 2002.

The point on the surface immediately above the earthquake is called its ‘epicenter’ and is thescene of the greatest destruction. The shock waves travel out from the epicenter in the same way that ripples spread when you drop a stone into a pool. Earthquakes can be so violent that buildings topple, people are killed and huge craters open in the ground. They often trigger tidal waves and landslides. Adopted from: P. Durkin, V. Ferguson, G.

Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru: North of Mt. Batur, overlooking the Petanu River, is Goa Gajah, the site of an intriguing archeological mystery. The man-made caves found here date from the eighth century and feature Buddhist inscriptions and carvings, even though Buddhists are not known to have ever lived in Bali. Above the entrance to the cave is a giant head, with floppy ears, thought by many to be an elephant of which there is also no record in Bali. This is a special place, especially if you can avoid the crowds. Adopted from: http://www.bali1.com/bali-island/bali-destinations.htm (April 4, 2011)

An earthquake is the movement of the Earth’s crust which makes the ground shake or quake. Earth quakes usually occur when the plates of the Earth’s crust grind against each other. This causes tension in the rocks and when the tension becomes too great, the plates shift and split. These movements cause shock waves, which start deep underground.

Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru: An amphibian is an animal with a bony skeleton and skin without scales, hair or feathers. The usual kinds of amphibians are frogs, toads, newts and salamanders. When a frog hatches from its egg, it does not look like its parents. It has a round body and a long tail and is called a tadpole. As tadpoles grow, their bodies change and they begin to look like their parents. When amphibians are born, they breathe through gills like a fish, but as they grow up, they develop lungs and can live on land. Amphibians eat plants when they are tadpoles but start eating other animals and insects as they grow. Adult amphibians eat many kinds of animals such as worms and slugs and insects. Larger amphibians eat mice. Adopted from: Sally Hewitt, et al, Explore and Learn the Natural World Vol. 3, Nashville, The Southwestern Company, 2000.

Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru: Once, there was a man passing through a jungle. Feeling tired, he stopped and spread a cloth under a tree. He placed his bag full of caps near him and lay down with a cap on his head. The man had a sound sleep for one hour. When he got up, he was startled to find all his caps in the bag were missing. He was puzzled as to where they could have gone. He then noticed several monkeys sitting on the branches of a tree, each wearing a cap on its head. They had evidently done that to imitate him. He tried to get his caps back. Unfortunately, the monkeys only imitated whatever he did, instead of returning his caps. He then realized that monkeys were great imitators. So, he took off his cap and threw it on the ground and so did the monkeys. Quickly, he stood up and gathered the caps, put them back into his bag and went away. Narrator : Which picture shows what the monkeys took from the man? Jawaban: A
