Almost everyone eats bread daily, especially for breakfast.

Bread making is not a complicated


task. You only need flour, water, yeast, sugar, salt, oil, butter, and an oven.
Choosing good flour is the step in making bread. There are two kinds of flour, soft and hard.
Hard flour, made of winter wheat, is a better choice for making bread because it produces
bread that has a better texture and taste.
Then, lukewarm water, yeast, sugar and salt are mixed with the flour to make dough. Yeast is
a microscopic organism that is capable of producing carbon dioxide. It can make the dough
rise or expand. Both sugar and salt give flavor to the bread so that it tastes nice. They,
however, have different effects on yeast. After that, oil (such as olive oil, corn oil, peanut oil)
and butter bare added because they are essential to make the bread tender. After mixing the
ingredients, the dough is sent to the oven.

there are many advertisements aired during some TV programmes. In my opinion,


advertisement should be stopped and not be aired for some reasons.

Firstly, advertisements are nuisance when people are watching. They are many advertisement
to relay and usually spend long time. Sometimes the duration for advertisements is even
longer than the program being watched.

Secondly, advertisement can give bad effects to the audiences. They try to promote people
to buy unhealthy products such as soft drinks, junk food, candies and chips.

When an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale struck the west coast of
Sumatra on Wednesday night, March 2016, thousands of residents of Sikakap district,
Mentawai Island, rushed to nearby hills. Everyone, including children and the elderly, had to
stay there all night. Having learned from a devastating tsunami in 2010 and previous drills
organized by the authorities, the residents took the prepared paths to higher ground located
a kilometer from North Pagai beach. Fortunately, the tremblor, slightly more intense but
further from the islands than that of 2010, caused no damage or loss of life.
However, fear remained after the residents arrived at the hill as no shelter or
telecommunication facilities to call for assistance were available. Further, the shelters that
had been readied after the 2010 tsunami were unusable.
Mentawai islands Disaster Management Agent lamented the lack of communication
facilities. She said when the earthquake occurred, she was on a boat heading to Padang, and
her phone was functioning but she couldn’t reach anyone on site. Several other facilities,
including tsunami-warning sirens were also out. Given the fact that Indonesia is the world’s
largest archipelago, it is prone to seismic upheaval because of its location on the Pacific as
the “Ring of Fire”, an arc of volcanoes and fault lines circling the Pacific Basin.
A local rights activist with the Alliance of Indigenous People (AMAN) said the
earthquake should be a wake-up call for the central government and local authorities to
better equip tsunami-prone areas. Meanwhile, the government praised the preparedness of
local residents. “What’s important is how people respond immediately by leaving houses and
buildings to seek higher ground. And all of that was put into practice last night by the
people in Mentawai Islands”. The risk of tsunamis is still an endemic in the archipelago, said
the government officer. Hence, to increase the budget for tsunami-mitigation efforts is
urgent.

smokers die because of diseases caused by smoking.

are six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a non-smoker. If we smoke twenty
cigarettes a day, the risk is nineteen times greater. Ninety five percent of people who suffer
from bronchitis are people who smoke. Smokers are two and half times more likely to die of
heart disease than non-smokers.
Additionally, children of smokers are more likely to develop bronchitis and pneumonia. In
one hour in a smoky room, a non-smoker breaths as much as substance causing cancer as if
