There are a lot of discussions as to whether children should be given homework or not.
Some people claim that children to enough work in school already. They also argue that
children have hobbies that they want to do after school, such as sports or music. A further
point they make is that a lot of homework is pointless and doesn't help the child learn at all.
However, there are also strong arguments against this point of view. Parents and teachers
argue that it is important to find out whether children can work on their own without the
support from the teacher. They say that the evening is a good time for children to sit down
and think about what they have learned in school.
Furthermore they claim that the school day is too short to get anything done that needs
doing and it makes sense to send home tasks like independent reading or further writing
tasks that don't need teacher's support.
On balance, I think that some homework is a good idea but that it should only given at the
weekend when children have more time.

The following text is for questions 33 and 34.

‘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 scenario for the film.

Song by: Rob Thomas
All day staring at the celling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voice telling me
That I should (38)… some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on (39)…. like I’m headed for a breakdown
And I don’t know why
But I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell
I know right now you can’t tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you’ll see
A different side of me
I’m not crazy, I’m just a little impaired
I know right now you don’t care
But soon enough you’re gonna think of me
And how I used to be me
I’m talking to myself in public
Dodging glances (40)…. the train
And I know, I know they’ve all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I’ve lost my mind
