The following text is for questions 1 and 2
Dear Dr. Hambali Sahali,
We would like to invite you and your staff to visit our school SMP Duta Bangsa, where we are
engaged in an exciting service learning project.
Service-learning is a teaching method that engages our students in solving problems within their
school and communities as an integral part of their academic studies. It is hoped that students master
important curriculum content by making meaningful connection between what they study and its real-
life applications. Besides, students become more effective citizens through acts of kindness, community
stewardship and civic action. This effort is made possible with support from Learn and Serve America,
a program of the corporation for National and Community Service.
May we suggest that you visit us on January 11, 2010 at 10 o’clock? This will give you an
opportunity to see our program in action. We have also invited our community partners, members of the
local media, and several families of students whom we serve. They are eager to talk to you about the
importance of investing in service-learning activities in our local community.
We have enclosed a one page profile of our program for your reference. I will contact your office
within the next two weeks to follow-up on this invitation. Again, we do hope you can join us on this
occasion.
Thank you very much for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Andy Sehatapi

Fight Song - Rachel Platten

Sumber: http://www.minelyrics.com/rachel-platten

Like a small boat Wrecking balls inside my brain

In the ocean I will scream them loud tonight
Sending big waves Can you hear my voice this time
Into motion This is my fight song
Like how a single word Take back my life song
Can make a heart open Prove I’m alright song
I might only have one match My power’s turned on
but I can make an explosion Starting right now I’ll be strong
And all those things I didn’t say I’ll play my fight song
Wrecking balls inside my brain And I don’t really care if nobody else believes
I will scream them loud tonight Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me
Can you hear my voice this time A lot of fight left in me

Losing friends and I’m chasing sleep This is my fight song
Everybody’s worried about me Take back my life song
In too deep Prove I’m alright song
Say I’m in too deep My power’s turned on
And it’s been two years Starting right now I’ll be strong
I miss my home I’ll play my fight song
But there’s a fire burning in my bones And I don’t really care if nobody else believes
And I still believe Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me
Yeah I still believe Now I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me
And all those things I didn’t say

HIV/ AIDS. The test, which involved a pinprick an took about a minute, was performed at Guy’s and
St. Thomas’ Hospital in London. The 31-year-old prince tested negative for HIV.
Kensington Palace announced last month that Harry would be devoting a significant amount of his
charitable work to HIV awareness to carry on his mother’s legacy.
Harry told viewers watching the live broadcast, “We all shouldn’t be on the other side saying,
“You should get the test.” Everybody should get it.”
Harry, fifth in line to the British throne, will attend the International AIDS Conference in Durban,
South Africa, next week. He is scheduled to speak alongside Elton John and Sentebale’s other co-

The following text is for questions 14 to 17.

Local or traditional languages are at risk of being lost when they are not taught to younger
generations anymore, while fluent speakers of the languages (usually the elderly) gradually die. It is our
concern, as a community, when local or traditional languages are no longer spoken or taught. Thus,
there is a need to teach children local or traditional languages. Here are four factors to consider why we
should teach children local or traditional languages.

First, language and culture are intertwined. Language is the vehicle in which family culture and
values are often transmitted. Learning a local or traditional language will help children learn about the
culture and gain more appreciation and respect for different cultures.
Second, local or traditional languages can strengthen family ties. Being able to communicate with
grandparents and extended family members in a home language can help bring a family closer together.
Besides, being able to speak a local or traditional language will help build a good relationship with the
community, especially the elderly people.
Third, teaching local or traditional languages to children may help preserve the languages since the
remaining fluent speakers of the language are generally the older members of the community. It may
happen that when the elderly pass on, the languages die with them.
Fourth, learning local or traditional languages can improve children’s communication abilities.
Children with multiple language skills can differentiate and identify what language to speak and with
whom.
Teaching local or traditional languages to children is important to keep the languages from
disappearing. Parents or teachers at schools can start with simple ways of teaching such as by speaking
the language regularly and encouraging the children to respond and also being proud of speaking the
local or traditional language.

The following text is for questions 18 to 20.

A laptop is a kind of computer unit which has the same function as a PC (personal computer), but it
is smaller, lighter and of different sizes. Nowadays, most people choose laptops for several reasons.
A laptop is a portable device. This portability is very helpful for our work, study and other
activities. We do not need complicated cable installation to activate a laptop, and with a laptop, we can
do our work anytime anywhere.
Moreover, a laptop allows us to access the internet in public places which provide free access
called hot spot areas. Some people like to use this facility to carry out their tasks.
Finally, a laptop consumes energy more efficiently than a PC does. This device uses a rechargeable
battery as a source of electric energy. So if we prefer using a laptop, it means that we support the
government program to save energy.
That’s why a laptop has become very popular recently.

When we had a holiday last year, my
family and I went to a place at the seaside
and borrowed a boat from one of our
friends. We sailed and spent all day on the
sea.
When the sea was rough, we sailed
on a small lake near the sea instead. There
were not many fish in the lake, but in the
sea we caught a lot of fish with a hook,
line and small pieces of bread.
When the weather was fine, we
collected pieces of dried wood and fired
or grilled our fish over them on the beach.
