will make us much healthier.

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.

There are many reasons for both sides of the question, "Should we have printed advertisement'?"
Many people have strong views and feel that ads are nothing more than useless junk mail, while other
people feel it is important source information.
There are some reasons why we should have advertisement in newspaper and magazines. One
reason is ads give us information about what is available. Looking at ads we can find out what is on sale
and what is new in the market. This is an easy way of shopping. Another reason is that advertisement
promotes business. When shop owners compete against each other the buyer saves money, more people
come to their shops and they sell more goods.
On the other hand, some people argue that ads should not be put in newspapers and magazines
for these various reasons. Firstly, ads cost the shopkeepers a lot of money to print onto paper. Also some
people don't like finding junk mail in their letter boxes. Ads also influence people to buy items they don't
need and can't really afford. Ads use up a lot of space and a lot of effort has to be made the ads eye-
catching.
After looking at both sides of issue, I think we should not have advertisements because they cost
a lot of money and take up a lot of room in the papers. I don't think I find some of them interesting. I
mainly disagree because it's junk mail.

The Importance of Playgrounds
Playing outside is not just about letting off steam. It is a vital part of childhood that helps children
develop physical strength, coordination and balance. It can also provide opportunities for children to
learn and develop.
Playgrounds give social skills. When children play with other children, they learn to
communicate, share, collaborate and empathize with others.
Playgrounds also give some imagination and creativity. It is believed that playing outside is open-
ended and children need to be creative about what and how games are played.
Beside two reasons above, playgrounds can remote children’s thinking and problem solving
skills. As children are introduced risks and they tackle new challenges, they learn about having ego,
persistence, and perseverance and the success those attributes can bring.

Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix pleasure with
learning when you listen to a song and use it to improve your English. Some underlying reasons can be
drawn to support the idea why we use songs in language learning.
Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” phenomenon. The phenomenon 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 literary sample
for learning languages.
Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most pop songs and
probably many other types do not 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 years, 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.
19. What does the text tell you about? 21. According to the text above, which of the

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been serious problem for three
reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimens and experiments.
Formalin in Biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant or
to preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservatives. Of course when it is used for food
preservative, it will be very dangerous to human’s body.
The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This condition makes the
people’s health is really in a threat. When the control is weak and the use formalin was spread wide all
over the Indonesian regions, and these days it has really happened, the citizen's bodies will be badly
contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their products which contain formalin and
dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our digestive system absorbs the substance that should be
for the human and animal corpses?
Considering the reasons, we can make a conclusion that the use of formalin and other
preservatives is really a serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.

The following text is for number 38 to 40
I personally think that reading is a very important activity in our life. Why do I say so? Firstly, by
reading we can get a lot of knowledge about many things in the world such as Science, technology. Sports,
arts, culture, etc. written in either books, magazine, newspaper, etc.
Secondly, by reading we can get a lot of news and information about something happening in any
parts of the world which can we see directly.
Another reason, reading can give us pleasure too. When we are tired, we read books, newspaper or
magazine on the entertainment column such as comedy, short story, quiz, etc. To make us relaxed.
The last, reading can also take us to other parts of the world. By reading a book about Irian Jaya we
may feel we’re really sitting in the jungles not at home in our rooms.
From the facts above, it’s obvious that everyone needs to read to get knowledge, information and also
entertainment. Or in summary we can say reading is truly important in our life.
