I. Answer the questions based on the text below!

The government should be more serious

Sometimes when I pass some certain places in Jakarta, I often see piles of trash by the side of the
street or even by the river. This view is annoying. It makes our city look ugly and very dirty. If we walk near
the pile of trash, we could smell stinky odors coming from it.
Piles of trash bring the bacteria with them. Isn’t that very dangerous to our health if flies land on
our food?
However, many people live around this mountain-like heap of trash. Many children play nearby.
Also, a lot of women wash clothes and fruits and vegetables in the river which is contaminated by trash.
This is terrible. I think they don’t realize the danger, because they don’t have knowledge about healthy
living.
In my opinion, the government must take a regulation that prohibits people to build houses near
the trash disposal (dump site). Also, here should be special officers, like police officers, who watch and
catch people who throw trash on the ground or into the rivers. Moreover, if a big fine doesn’t make
people stop dropping litter carelessly, the government should put them in jail as a punishment.
Finally, I think the efforts to keep our environment clean and tidy need hard work from both the
citizens and the government.

II. Answer the questions based on the text below!

Damaged Roads
The number of damaged roads linking Jakarta with West Java has certainly provoked complaints
from locals and road users. Take for an example, the roads in Bekasi and Tangerang, which have been the
focus of the media.
The poor condition of these roads not only jeopardizes road safety, but also gives a squalid
impression. Moreover, the condition will get worse when it rains. The roads are transformed into water
pools or puddles, which can easily cause accidents if motorists are not careful.
No wonder if some people question why they are so many damaged roads and why repairs do not
seem to last long. The government should pay special attention to these problems.
In my opinion, the road should be repaired using the right sort of asphalt, stones and sand. Repairs
should be done carefully so that the roads can be prevented from constant damage. Otherwise, the
repairs would be useless.

The Shepherd’s Boy
There was once a young shepherd boy who tended his sheep at the foot of a mountain near a dark forest.
It was rather lonely for him all day, so he thought up a plan by which he could get a little company and some
excitements. He rushed down toward the village calling out, “Wolf! Wolf!”. Afterward the villagers came out to meet him
and some of them stayed with him for a considerable time.
This pleased the boy so much that a few days afterward he tried the same trick and the villagers came again to help.
But shortly after, a wolf actually did come out from the forest and began to worry the sheep. The boy cried out, “Wolf!
Wolf!” so much louder than before. But this time the villagers, who had been fooled twice before, thought the boy was
again deceiving them. Consequently, nobody came to help him.
So the wolf made a good meal of the boy’s flock and when the boy complained, the wise man of the village said: ”A
liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.”

was soon sputtered and drowned in the water, and his poor dead body floating about on the surface.

Why do the Moon and the Sun never appear together?
Long, long ago, the Sun and the Moon lived happily together in the sky. They always appeared together during the
day and night.
One day, the Sun shone brightly so that it almost burned the Moon. The sunlight hurt the Moon’s eyes very much.
This made the Moon blind.
The Moon left the Sun although the Sun had apologized to the Moon.
The Sun loved the Moon very much, so he chased her. He chased and chased through the years and centuries but has
never caught the Moon.
That’s why the Sun shines during the day and at night the Moon appears. They will never reunite again.

“Ost. Of Brownies”
Bisa Saja was choosen as the first single of the album and theme song of Brownies, since the lyrics reflect the
story in the movie.
Budjana of GIGI, demonstrates his skills in playing acoustic guitar in Cinta Terakhir. Three other brand new
songs, Dilema, Jangan Bilang Pacarku, dan Semua Orang Berhak Mendapat Rasa Bahagia, give supporting nuances to
the flow of the movie. GIGI composed them by imagining how the scenes would look like based on the screenplay.
When Hanung Bramantyo (the director) and Dewa Budjana of GIGI chatted, Budjana expressed his interest in
making a soundtrack album. Then, he recommended a few GIGI songs, which the producer accepted because of the
chemistry they created with the movie.
Since GIGI could provide a variety of colors to add all kinds of musical nuances to enrich the movie, the
producer deemed it unnecessary to find other musicians to complete the Ost. of Brownies.
Armand Maulana (vocal), I Gede Dewa Budjana (guitar), Thomas Ramadhan (bass), and Gusti Erhandy (drums-
stand-in player for Budhy Haryono) put a lot of effort into this album. As a result, they’ve created a perfect blend of a
movie and songs that makes Brownies tastier.
It’s always fun to have a piece of brownies in your mouth. But having it on your stereo is more entertaining. No
movie is perfect without a musical score and Ost. of Brownies has proved it excellently.

Questions
1. Why is the song “Bisa Saja” chosen as the theme song?
2. Who is the director of “Brownies”?
3. What is the purpose of giving a soundtrack to the movie?
4. Why do the producer unnecessary to find other musicians to complete ost of Brownies?

Treasure Seekers
Peter, john and Rose brought with them some tools to explore a cave. As they slowly walked deeper into the cave,
it was getting darker and cooler inside. Rose was getting uneasy and asked Peter, “Why don’t you switch on your
torch.” “Oh yeah,” replied Peter.
When he switched on the torchlight they found a huge gray object appeared right in front of them. They were
astonished and frightened. John went up and carefully examined the object he said, “It’s a stone casket,” Rose replied.
“Why don’t we see what’s inside.” Everyone agreed.
Peter and John used crowbars to force open the stone cover while Rose, using all her might to push the cover to the
side and suddenly it slipped and fall on the floor with a loud “BANG!”
All of them got a rude shock and took a few steps backward. Peter who was holding the torch shone it against the
internal of the casket. All of them nearly fell on the ground because a preserved corpse was found inside the casket.
They saw plenty of jewelers and even exotic paintings buried with the corpse.
While they were examining the contents, Rose felt a jolt on the ground and realized something was not right. She
shouted, “SCRAM!”. She was the first one to rush to the exit followed by Peter. John was the last one and before he
reached the exit it was completely sealed off by falling rocks and was trapped.
What suddenly occurred was too much for John to handle and he said to himself that he was going to die there. He
knelt down and solemnly prayed to the deceased that if he ever got out of the cave alive, he would keep this place a
secret, never returned to disturb it and promised to offer thank giving to the spirit.
After a while he saw a glow worm flew out from the coffin towards the opposite direction of the blocked exit. John
followed the glow worm step by step. About some distance away he saw some dim light coming from the end of the
cave. He immediately removed some rocks and to his surprise it was another exit. The dim light was the moonlight
outside the cave.

There are three possible reasons why desert remain dry. There are high mountain barriers,
cold ocean current and high pressure systems.
When warm air passes over the ocean it picks up moisture in the form of water vapor. As
this moist air travels over the land, it rises to pass over mountain ranges. When it begins to rise,
the air cools and this causes the water vapor to condense into droplets which fall as rain. When
the air reaches the other side of the mountain barrier, it has lost all its moisture and so the other of
the mountain remains dry.
Air passing over cold ocean currents is cooled and therefore is unable to pick up and hold
much moisture. When this cold air mass reaches the warm desert, any moisture in the air is
evaporated and so does not fall as rain and so the desert remain dry.
In a high pressure system, the air is dry and is moving downwards. As this system moves
over the land it draws in moisture does not fall as rain and so the desert remains dry.

1. What are three possible reasons why desert remain dry?

2. According to “high mountain barriers” reasons, when does the rain fall?
3. Why has the moisture of air lost after reaching the other side of mountain?
4. According to “cold ocean current” reason, when is the air moisture evaporated?

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 they are an important source of information.
Here are some reasons why we should have advertisement in newspapers and magazines.
One reason is ads give us information about what is new in the market. This is an easy way of
shopping. Another reason is that advertisements promote 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 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. People may also find the ads
not very interesting. 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 to make the ads eye-catching.
Ads also take up a lot of room in the papers and I don’t think I find some of them interesting.
In summary, although ads provide people with information, they cost a lot of money to
print. Therefore I think we should not have printed advertisement.
