Everybody should change their way of life to reduce global warming. There are several things that
we can do. One of them is by buying and consuming fresh local groceries as much as possible. It of
course includes local vegetables, fruits, bread, etc.
Local groceries don’t need much transportation to get it into the market. It of course means, the
amount of carbon dioxide produced is less than the groceries from other region. Therefore, by buying local
groceries we are helping reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced.
Consuming fresh groceries instead of frozen ones are healthier for us. Furthermore, fresh food or
groceries means no requirements for it to be freeze up. It means that no electricity is needed and saving
energy means reducing carbon dioxide and money.
So, from now on we should consume fresh local groceries to reduce global warming.

ANALYTICAL EXPOSITION
Learning English
Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix pleasure with
learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to your English progress. Some
underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why we use songs in language learning.
Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the last song
we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both enjoyable and sometimes
unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the idea that songs work on our short-and-long
term memory.
Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of repetition,
which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that they are effective makes them
many times more motivating than other text. Although usually simple, some songs can be quite
complex syntactically, lexically and poetically, and can be analyzed in the same way as any other
literary sample.
Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most pop songs
and probably many other types don’t have precise people, place or time reference.
In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage harmony within
oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools in sustaining culture, religion,
patriotism and yeas, even revolution.
Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs such as studying
grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension, translating songs, learning vocabulary,
spelling, and culture.
From the elaboration above, it can be concluded that learning through music and songs,
learning English can be enjoyable and fun

Smoking in Restaurant
Smoking in restaurants is just not on. It must not be allowed because it is rude, harmful to
others and dangerous for the smokers.
Firstly, smoking in a restaurant is impolite. The smell of the smoke affects all people and can
turn them off their food. People pay to taste good food and not to be put off by foul smelling smoke.
Another reason smoking should not be allowed in restaurant is the harm it can do to others.
Passive smoking that is breathing in smoke made by a smoker can lead to asthma attacks and even
cancer.
Finally, smoking is dangerous and a health risk to the smokers. Cigarettes cause heart and
lung disease and people should not smoke anywhere, not just in restaurants.
Therefore, smoking in restaurants is impolite, harmful to others and a health risk to the
smokers and should not be allowed in any restaurants.

Dust Bin
To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, a number of dust bins should be increased.
When we look at classrooms, school corridors and school yard, there are paper mineral water cups,
straws, and napkins here and there. The condition of uncleanliness and discomfort really hinders
learning and teaching environment. Litters thrown carelessly cause disease, especially empty plastic
cup or glasses. They can be filled out with water coming from the rain. This can be placed for dengue
mosquitoes to spread out. Besides, these rubbish can deteriorate the scene. Well painted wall and
green school yard do not mean anything litters are scattered everywhere.
Anyway I notice that most of the students in our school have responsibilities for the school
environment. They put their litters on the proper places. But some are not diligent enough to find the
dust bins. The numbers of dust binds in our schools are not enough. More dust bins should be put
beside each of steps, outside of the classrooms, and some more also the corridors. Probably one dust
bin should be in every ten meters. So when students want to throw away their litters, they can find
the dust bins easily.
When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, we do not have problems of freak and
discomfort any more. Our school will be very clean and become a nice place to study.
10. According to the writer, more dust bins….. in every ten meters.
A. should be placed
B. are not required
C. should be painted
D. are unnecessary
E. should be decorated
13. Besides, these rubbish can deteriorate the scene .(Paragraph 2).
What is the Antonym of underlined word….
A. Destroy
B. Improve
C. Minimize
D. Reduce
E. Worsen

People read for different reasons and purposes. Newsreader, for example, read for a living and
students read for learning. Others read for knowledge and some read for enjoyment and pleasure.
Newsreaders are specially trained to read the news accurately, carefully, and distinctively.
Students have to read textbooks in order to absorb the contents in their memories for examination.
Businessmen, politicians, scientist, and lecturers read for knowledge, others read to kill time, or for
enjoyment and pleasure.
Nevertheless, good books are not cheap. One way to minimize the cost is by exchanging
books with friends. The other way is by going to book rentals or borrowing books from libraries.
Sometimes, there are many book exhibitions held in big cities. Some publishers take these
kinds of event as an opportunity to offer huge discounts. Books lovers can take this opportunity to
get many books at a low cost.

There are many reasons for keeping dogs as pets in the city area, but many people feel that
keeping pet dogs should not be allowed in the city. Dogs are often not taken care properly. They are
kept in small backyards and rarely taken for walks. They are left in the yard all day by themselves
while the family is at work. Very little attention is given to the dog and it is not a very good life for it.
It is no wonder why these dogs bark and disturb the neighbors and become a nuisance to the
community.
On the other hand, not all people treat their dogs this way and why should the people receive
a lot of pleasure and enjoyment from dog's suffer? Dogs can make a lonely person's life happy or make
wonderful playmate. It can also teach a child responsibility as they not only get to lay with the dog,
but also need to exercise, feed, and care for the dog
I feel that we should be allowed to keep dogs in the city, because if it is taken care of
properly, dogs can be a great source of pleasure. As a child I used to enjoy playing and taking care of
my pet. There is not greater loyalty a person can get than from a well-cared dog.

Being on time is a beautiful social ethic and one of great importance, as it creates efficiency in
system and implies respect for one another. However, it is one the many values that is not easy for
our students to learn.
Inner discipline, one that comes from an understanding of the set rules and regulation, is the
highest form behavior. Most excellent school try to instill this with a loving environment. Why, even
adults arrive late to meeting, work, etc. Here, we do not agree that late comers should be shut out.
They can be given warnings, most of which are enough to make them try their best to reach the
school on time latter .If this fails, invite the parent to school.
By closing the gates, the school is behaving cruelly, to which we prefer not to expose our
children. Every school has responsibility to implant good educational principle, but It should be in
appropriate ways. Good schools create competitive students who can organize themselves effectively
in society, so that everyone gets a quality life as a result of the ethics and values learned for as long as
12 years.
Children are precious and dependent on the adult for guidance. Understanding them is the
key, and to this end, both parents and schools must work hand in hand without playing the blame
game.

Nuclear power is the controlled use of nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is energy in uranium that can
be released by nuclear reaction in a machine is called a nuclear reactor. This energy is made into
electricity, which can be used to power machine and heat home. 14% of the world’s electricity came
from nuclear power. But, the use of nuclear power cause some hazard.
There are three separate sources of hazard in the process of supplying energy by nuclear power.
First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of manufacture at the power station. Although
the power stations themselves are solidly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials
are not. There the normally only two methods of transport available, namely road or rail.
Unfortunately, both of these involve close contact with the general public, since the routes are sure to
pass near, or even thought, heavily populated areas.
Next, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power station produced wastes that in most cases
will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes non-radioactive,
and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientist have invited. For example
they may be buried under ground, or dropped into abandoned mines, or sunk in the sea. However,
these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily crack the containers
open.
Finally, there is the problem of accidental exposure due to a leak or an explosion at the power
station. As with the other two hazards, this is not every likely, so it does not provide a serious
objection to the nuclear program. Nevertheless, it can happen.
Separately, these there types of risks are not a great cause for concern. On the whole though, the
probability of disaster is still high.
There is no best way to ideal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly used may
cause many problems. I think combining different management operation is the most effective way to
controls pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides my build up as residues in the environment and in the soil
which absorbs the chemical. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and stronger
ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects the
ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen and
applied carefully so that they don’t affect the ecological balance and environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more affective option to fight pest in
agriculture and livestock.
57. What can you say about paragraph two and four?
a. The fourth paragraph supports the idea stated in paragraph two.
b. Both paragraph tell about the disadvantages of using pesticides.
c. Both paragraphs tell about how pesticides affect the quality of farm products.
d. The statement in paragraph is contrary to the statement in paragraph four.
e. The second paragraph tells about the effects of using pesticides on animals mentioned in
paragraph four.
