My first time experience in Bali

At 55 I have just gone to Bali for the first time with my husband. We stayed in Seminyak and had a
wonderful time. We took Jetstar in economy over and were in 2nd last row and even then by time off
plane purchasing VOA and Immigration took about 1 hour - wasn't too bad. Departing last night, Jetstar
was late by one hour but we had paid to go Business class so it was not that bad. We sat in Premier
Lounge - not a great selection of food or wine (wine is my thing) but it was enjoyable anyway. Of course,
new airport is underway and things may be different once that is up and running. We didn't get sick or
robbed or bitten. Yes, footpaths are broken and or missing and some smells but that didn't 16deter  us.
People were friendly and so polite. The weather was just fantastic. When asked to take what looked like
post cards we politely said "no thank you " and that was the last of it. Bintang beer mostly $2.50 very
cheap and was the food and we ate in good restaurants - La Lucciola, Breeze, Sardine, Sarong and Metis.
As we had breakfast supplied at The Samaya we didn't need lunch and we were given fruit salad by the
pool and afternoon tea so only dinner was required. We enjoyed Sarong in particular. We used hand
sanitizer and luckily for us we didn't get the dreaded dire - rear. A driver took us to Ubud and Jimbaran
Bay and through Kuta. Mostly this was a relaxing one week there. Manicures, pedicures, hair, massage
were so cheap - roughly $8 - we had these done at Body Works in Seminyak. I also had Wendy the
dressmaker come to our hotel and made me skirts which I was very happy with. This morning in Sydney
airport, it took us just 30 minutes to be off the plane and into a taxi. Jetstar made up time flying home -
only 5 hours and 10 minutes. It was all a breeze. Bali had never been on my to do list, but I will be going
back that is for sure. Sumber: https://www.tripadvisor.com 

What happened when they were about to leave for Bali?

A. They needed to cancel their trip.

B. They needed to put their trip off.

C. The plane crashed.

D. The adverse weather prompted the plane to delay.

E. The plane was late for an hour.

Jawbaan: E

Pembahasan:

Pada bagian awal teks terdapat kalimat “… and even then by time off plane purchasing VOA and
Immigration took about 1 hour - wasn't too bad” yang artinya ketika mereka akan berangkat ke Bali
dengan pesawat, keberangkatannya harus tertunda selama 1 jam, maka jawaban E yang tepat.

HOW TO CREATE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT

process is largely the same for both the website and the app.

Click "Sign Up for Free" or tap "Sign Up". This will begin the account creation process.

· For business accounts, there are two different options, each of which has different cost structures and
benefits. Standard accounts are free, but customers must route through PayPal in order to check out.
Pro accounts cost $30 per month, but you get to full control over how you want to design the checkout
process.

· The Standard free business account is the same as the old PayPal Premier account. This account is best
suited for users who do lots of buying and selling on eBay.

Enter your email address and create a password. Make sure that you create a strong password so that
nobody else can access your financial information.
· Make sure that you enter a valid email address, as you'll need to use it to verify your account.

Fill out the form with your personal information. You'll need to enter your legal name, address, and
phone number. All of this information is required in order to create your account.

Enter your credit or debit card (optional). After entering your personal information, you'll be prompted
to enter your credit or debit card. You can enter this now or later, but you'll need to at some point if you
want to verify your PayPal account.

Enter your bank account information (optional). You'll need a bank account linked if you plan on
receiving money and want to be able to transfer it to your bank. You don't have to do this now if you
don't want to. Just click "I'll link my bank later" to skip it for now. You'll be prompted to confirm that you
want to skip the process.

Apply for PayPal credit (optional). Before you're taken to your account's Summary page, PayPal will
prompt you to sign up for a line of credit. This is optional, and you should read all of the terms carefully
before applying. If you'd rather not apply for credit, click "No thanks".

Text for questions number 7-8

The Real Reason Why TV Is Bad for the Kids

"Books are good for children." "TV is bad for children." Everyone seems to know this. In the same way
that we know that we should be eating lots of fruits and vegetables and limiting sweets, we all know
that kids should spend a lot of time with books and relatively little time with TV.

But why? Can't kids learn just as much from TV as they do from books? There is no doubt that TV can be
educational. But one of the unforeseen consequences of TV viewing is reducing how much parents talk
with their children. And diminished parent-child interaction can have negative effects on children,
especially when they are young.

In a recent study of toddlers and pre-schoolers, we observed mothers and their children while they read
books, watched a pro-social TV program, or played with toys. We found TV viewing suppressed both the
amount and quality of mother-child communication. That is, moms made relatively few comments to
their children while co-viewing. When they did speak, their comments were often unrelated to what
their child said, thereby creating an unproductive exchange that could hinder children's opportunity for
learning.

Moms who read books to their children, however, not only talked significantly more but also used a very
high-quality form of communication that included asking questions, labelling objects, affirming their
child, and responding to their child's statements or questions with relevant information. It is important
to note that the increased quantity and quality of communication was not due to the fact that moms
were reading the words on the pages. Instead, this difference reflected the communication that
occurred above and beyond the actual reading that the mother did with the child.
Playing with toys also elicited a high amount of communication, including some high-quality forms of
interaction. Although not better than books, toy playing was significantly better than shared TV viewing
at encouraging communication.

With these results in mind, let's consider the child who spends a good chunk of the day watching TV.
From this perspective, the problem is not necessarily what content, either good or bad, the child has
experienced (of course content does make a difference too). Instead, the problem is what this child is
missing. Young children who watch lots of TV may be missing out on valuable - even crucial - interactions
with parents during a critical point in their development. Parent-child interaction, even with children
who can't yet speak, is vital to children's healthy development.

The American Academy of Pediatrics just released their updated TV guidelines for children ages 2 and
under. In their statement, they discourage all TV viewing for children in this age group. Part of the
justification for their recommendation is that TV viewing reduces parent-child communication.

Some parents may believe that they can't offer their children the kinds of educational experiences that
TV provides. But they are wrong. Children learn the best from real people, especially people who are
important to them. When parents talk with their children, they not only promote their language
development but also teach their children that they are valued and important. Reading books and
turning off the TV can facilitate these positive interactions.

Text for questions number 9-10

A volcano is an opening in the Earth’s surface where molten rock can escape from underneath. The
Earth’s surface is made up of tectonic plates, which are spreading apart, crunching into each other, or
sliding beside one another. Volcanoes are typically found at the fault lines between these plates. There
can be active volcanoes, which are currently, or have recently erupted. There are also dormant
volcanoes, which haven’t erupted recently, and extinct volcanoes, which will never erupt again.

There are 4 major types of volcanoes:

Cinder Cone Volcanoes

These are the simplest type of volcano. They occur when particles and blobs of lava are ejected from a
volcanic vent. The lava is blown violently into the air, and the pieces rain down around the vent. Over
time, this builds up a circular or oval-shaped cone, with a bowl-shaped crater at the top. Cinder cone
volcanoes rarely grow larger than about 1,000 feet above their surroundings.

Composite Volcanoes

Composite volcanoes, or strato volcanoes make up some of the world’s most memorable mountains:
Mount Rainier, Mount Fuji, and Mount Cotopaxi, for example. These volcanoes have a conduit system
inside them that channels magma from deep within the Earth to the surface. They can have clusters of
vents, with lava breaking through walls, or issuing from fissures on the sides of the mountain. With all
this material coming out, they can grow thousands of meters tall. As we’ve seen with the famous Mount
Saint Helens, composite volcanoes can explode violently.

Shield Volcanoes
These are large, broad volcanoes that look like shields from above – hence the name. The lava that
pours out of shield volcanoes is thin, so it can travel for great distances down the shallow slopes of the
volcano. These volcanoes build up slowly over time, with hundreds of eruptions, creating many layers.
They’re not likely to explode catastrophically. Perhaps the best-known shield volcanoes are the ones
that make up the Hawaiian Islands, especially Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea.

Lava Domes

Volcanic or lava domes are created by small masses of lava which are too viscous (thick) to flow very far.
Unlike shield volcanoes, with low-viscosity lava, the magma from volcanic domes just piles up over and
around the vent. The dome grows by expansion of the lava within, and the mountain forms from
material spilling off the sides of the growing dome. Lava domes can explode violently, releasing a huge
amount of hot rock and ash.

Text for question number 15-17

Ibn Sina's first appointment was that of physician to the emir, Nuh II, who owed him his recovery from a
15… illness (997). Ibn Sina's chief reward for this service was access to the royal library of the Samanids,
well-known patrons of scholarship and scholars. When the library was destroyed by fire not long after,
the enemies of Ibn Sina accused him of burning it, in order for ever to conceal the sources of his
knowledge. Meanwhile, he assisted his father in his financial labors, but still found time to write some of
his earliest works.

When Ibn Sina was 22 years old, he lost his father. The Samanid dynasty came to its end in December
1004. Ibn Sina seems to have declined the offers of Mahmud of Ghazni, and proceeded westwards to
Urgench in modern Turkmenistan, where the vizier, regarded as a friend of scholars, gave him a small
monthly stipend. The pay was small, however, so Ibn Sina wandered from place to place 16… the
districts of Nishapur and Merv to the borders of Khorasan, seeking an opening for his talents. Qabus, the
generous ruler of Tabaristan, himself a poet and a scholar, with whom Ibn Sina had expected to find
asylum, was on about that date (1012) starved to death by his troops who had revolted. Ibn Sina himself
was at this time stricken by a severe illness. Finally, at Gorgan, near the Caspian Sea, Ibn Sina met with a
friend, who bought a dwelling near his own house in which Ibnu Sina 17... on logic and astronomy.
Several of Ibn Sina's treatises were written for this patron; and the commencement of his Canon of
Medicine also dates from his stay in Hyrcania.
