The following text is for questions 1 to 5.

It was the dawn of science and technology. Anything seemed possible even the creation of life itself.
Victor Frankenstein becomes obsessed with this idea and works relentlessly to prove his theories; but
the glory he imagined becomes a living nightmare - not only for him, but for hos friends and family too.

Mary Shelley’s gothic horror story-frankenstein - was first published in 1818 and has been the
inspiration behind numerous stage productions and films - many of which strayed a long way away from
her original masterpiece. Classical comic presenting a full-colored graphic remains true to this classic
tale, bringing the original story to life which has never been created before.

This graphic novel is available in two versions: Original Text and Quick Text editions. The Original Text
stays faithful to Shelley's original text, while the Quick Text brings the story up to date by presenting the
text into a more simplified style so that the tale is accessible to all readers.

The quick Text edition will allow you to soak up a general feeling for characters and locations, while the
Original Text version will help you easily slip into the language in which the novel was written.

Even if you're not studying the original, this graphic novel is worth buying. It's a great story, and should
be one that everyone has the chance to read. Now, thanks to this release, even those who don't
particularly like to read too much are given the chance to find this tale and hopefully it may encourage
them to search out the original book too.

As with the previous classical comics, the presentation is first class. The best grade glossy paper really
helps to set this graphic novel head and shoulders above the usual comic book releases on the market.
Not only, that you also get a pretty comprehensive biography of Shelley; Mary Shelley's family Tree; a
feature that explains what life was like in the year of the book's release; and a brief

‘Laskar Pelangi’: The Audacity of Hope

This is a movie adapted from a best-selling Indonesian novel. It took 40 days of filming on Belitung
Island, Bangka-Belitung province. Involving 12 local actors, it reportedly cost Rp8 billion. With all the
efforts of transforming Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Warrior) into a moving picture, will it satisfy readers’
imaginations?

Laskar Pelangi, the novel, was written by Andrea Hirata in 2005, based on his own experiences. It is
about an inspiring teacher and her 10 students in the poverty-stricken Kampung Gantong in Belitung.
The poor condition of their school building does not dampen their high spirits and hopes for a better
future.

Two years later, the novel became a phenomenon in Indonesia literature. With its humanistic touch,
Laskar Pelangi has sold more than 500,000 copies and has won the position of Must-Read Novel in every
corner of the nation’s bookshops and media review pages. It has finally overcome the domination of
teen-lit, chick-lit and even religious novels, the popular theme of today.

Andrea entrusted the fi lming of the story to the respected figures in the film industry, Mira Lesmana
and Riza, as producer and film director. In July 2007, Mira and Riri started the per-production, which
took a year to finish. Together with the scriptwriter Salman Aristo they decided to create a different

The following text is for questions 8 to 10.

My family of three went to see an early screening of the new Disney movie, ”Brave” yesterday, so I
thought I would write a quick “mommy” review of the movie.

Disney definitely breaks the standard “Disney Princess” mold with this movie as Princess Merida is a fun,
outgoing and wild girl that for once is not in search for the love of a prince. The characters in the movie
are entertaining and I loved the way that the Scottish culture comes out in the movie. I found myself
wishing for more music though, which is one of the things that I truly love about past Disney movies. I
would compare this movie more with “Shrek” than a movie like “Tangled”.

As to the age of the kids that would like this movie I would have to say maybe 5 years old and up. The
movie is not quite engaging enough for very young viewers, which was a little disappointing for our
three years old. There were parts of the movie that our daughter enjoyed, but it is engaging enough for
younger viewers in the audience and made them cry, so be forewarned of this if you are bringing
children under the age of five years old.

I’ve always been a big fan Disney movies so on a 5-star scale I would rate this 4-star movie. It’s definitely
not a favourite, but I give it four star for the relationship that build between Merida and her mother. I
think this offers a great lesson to appreciate your family and truly listen to each others need and
concerns.

8. What does the writer think of the music in “Brave”?

A. Too much

B. Too little

C. Wild enough

D. Demonstrative

E. Very beautiful

9. What does the reviewer think of the movie?

A. It is definitely not the favourite

B. It has a good music composition

C. It is the same as the other Disney movies

D. It does not have any lesson for the children

E. It gives a bad impression of a mom and a daughter

10. How does the writer feel about the movie?

A. Amazed

B. Frustrated

C. Appreciative

D. Disappointed

E. Not worthy enough
