Dear Tantri,
Nowadays, it’s difficult to find a true friend like you. I sometimes think I am
very lucky to get you as my friend. Without you, my life would have been very
boring. I still remember the first day of school when we were young. You called
me and gave me a seat. That moment is not easy to forget. It is the beginning of
our long friendship. You even often shared some of your food when my mother
forgot to give me pocket money. You also lent me a dictionary when I forgot to
bring it. It’s almost 15 years we have been shared problems and fun together.
Now, you’re not here anymore. I would like to thank you for being there for me
for the ups and downs of my life.
It’s time for us to be apart. You have to move to Surabaya. I just want to say that
you are my best friend. It is difficult for me to say goodbye. I don’t want you to
leave me but I know that moving to Surabaya is very important for your future.
I only hope that you will get everything that you dream of in your new city. One
thing that I want to tell you, please don’t forget me. Keep in touch. Send me an
email and tell your activities there. Don’t make the distance break our
relationship.

It is hard for me to stay away from you. I can’t wait to meet you soon.

The following text is for questions 20 to 23.

When I was seven years old, I was given a small wallet to keep my pocket
money in. I felt so happy and put it in my hip pocket.
One day, during the break time at school, I discovered that my wallet was
missing. I checked it but I could not find it. There was some money in the wallet and
without it I could not buy anything to eat. I was close to tears. It was not because of
losing my precious wallet but because I might get scolded by my parents. Anyhow I
went hungry that day.
In the class I could not concentrate well to study at all. I kept thinking about
how I lost my wallet and what my parents would react. How was I going to explain
the loss? I did not know whether someone had taken it from my pocket or it had
merely fallen out. I hoped that someone would find and return it to me.
When I told my mother about my loss, she was angry. She told me that it would
not have happend if I had been careful. When my father came home, I got another
anger. Then he told me that there would not be any more wallets for me until I got
older.
Luckily, I still got pocket money from my parents. I am glad to say that I never
lost anything again. I had learned to be more careful. It is not pleasant to lose
something and then get scolded for losing it. (Adapted from

pity on the farmer. He gave him a goose and said “ I don’t have any expensive thing
to give you and hope this goose will help you to ease your hardship.” A week later to
his surprise the farmer found an egg in his yard. It was not an ordinary egg. It was a
golden egg. He was suddenly filled with joy.
Thereafter, his livelihood had rapidly improved but the farmer had forgotten his
earlier hardship. He became lazy, arrogant and spendthrift. Strangely, the goose only
