Dear Mavis:
Please accept my heartiest congratulations on your recent selection for inclusion on the short-
list for the NY City Writers Prize.
I just heard the news today from Francis Goodspeed when she dropped into my office with the
marked up proofs for her latest collection of stories. As you can imagine, Fran was very excited
too!
I am so proud of you. As you know, I have been a longtime promoter of your work, and in my
mind it's about time they finally recognized your talent. In fact, I believe that your selection for
the NYCWP short-list is long overdue.
I have already read two of the other books that are short-listed and in my opinion they don't
hold a candle to your "No Turning Back". I will read the other three books nominated and let you
know what I think. Although, I could hardly be considered an objective reviewer on this one.
Once again Mavis, my sincere congratulations on your nomination. Just being nominated for
the NYCWP is an honor in itself. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you until they announce
the winner on March 1st.
Sincere best wishes,
Brad Merchant

BANDUNG: Thousand of people who had fled from their houses located on the slopes of
smoldering Mount Gamkomora on Halmahera Island, North Maluku Province, could return

Have you ever been to Bali? How did you go there? How long did you stay there? What did
you do there? Explain clearly.
Well, to tell your experience is the purpose of recount. Jadi, kalau kalian ingin menceritakan
pengalaman kalian kalian bisa menggunakan teks recount. Recount adalah jenis teks yang
menceritakan pengalaman seseorang, selain itu juga teks yang menceritakan biografi
seseorang secara detail.
Dalam recount ada tiga bagian penting. Yang pertama adalah Orientation, yaitu pendahuluan
yang berupa pengenalan tokoh. Biasanya berupa who, when, and where (siapa, kapan, dan
kapan suatu peristiwa terjadi. Yang kedua adalah event, yaitu kejadian atau peristiwa yang
terjadi secara berurutan. Dan yang terkahir adalah Re-orientation, yaitu menjelaskan
kesimpulan dari pengalaman yang diceritakan, apakah pengalaman tersebut menyedihkan,
membahagiakan, atau mungkin menakutkan.
Contoh:
My Day at the Beach
(Orientation)
Last week my friend and I were bored after three weeks of holidays, so we rode our bikes to
Smith Beach, which is only five kilometres from where I live. When we arrived at the beach,
we were surprised to see there was hardly anyone there. After having a quick dip in the
ocean, which was really cold, we realized one reason there were not many people there. It
was also quite windy.
(Events)
After we bought some hot chips at the takeaway store nearby, we rode our bikes down the
beach for a while, on the hard, damp part of the sand. We had the wind behind us and, before
we knew it, we were many miles down the beach. Before we made the long trip back, we
decided to paddle our feet in the water for a while, and then sit down for a rest. While we
were sitting on the beach, just chatting, it suddenly dawned on us that all the way back, we
would be riding into the strong wind.
(Re-orientation)
When we finally made it back home, we were both totally exhausted! But we learned some
good lessons that day.

Last week I took my five-year old son, Willy, to a musical instrument store in my
hometown. I wanted to buy him a set of junior drum because his drum teacher advised me to
buy him one. Will likes listening to music very much. He also likes asking me everything he
wants to know. Even his questions sometimes seem precocious for a boy of his age. He is
very inquisitive.
We went there by car. On the way, we saw a policeman standing near a traffic light
regulating the passing cars and other vehicles. He blew his whistle now and then.
Seeing the policeman blowing his whistle, Willy asked me at once, “Dad, why is the

briefings and press conferences, usually held by the United Nations officials for disaster
mitigation team chief, Alwi Shihab.
It was challenging to visit different refugee to find soft stories, human interest stories.
Then, I went back to the press center in between to cover the press conferences of the day.
It was heart breaking when I saw these survivors fight for food and secondhand clothing,
which they said were limited and inadequate. Emerging to a glaring, full noon, it was time to
go back to the press center to write stories and race against time, always fearing that the
internet connection would come crashing down.
And after everything was done, only then I remembered to eat. Most times, I only ate

a rubber worm and BOOM!
A big bass took off to the other side of the dock and I was sure the line was going to
break because his pulling was rubbing the line against sharp rocks. Three times I pulled him

on my belly, reached down and gripped him. However, I didn't have a good grip at first and I
let him down to the water for a few seconds to get a better grip. The next thing I knew he was

I distinctly remember having cried on my first day at primary school. My mother bought
me to school, handed me over to a teacher and was told to leave. She was not allowed to
accompany me, even she was not allowed to stand near the window. It really made me
worried.
Almost immediately after my mother left, I started to cry. Then, the guy sitting beside me
followed suit and soon a few of the children in the class were in tears. The teacher was not to
be compromised. She was obviously an old hand at handling cry babies. She knew exactly
what to do. She ignored us. Soon, we realized that we were not going to get our mother’s
back. So, we settled down to some serious coloring.
We were very happy about one thing though. We all could speak to the teacher freely.

My first Job
Being very short of money and wanting to do something useful, I applied for a teaching
post advertised at a school in a suburb of London and three days later a letter arrived,
summoning me to Croydon for an interview.
I went to Croydon by train and then I had to walk a dusty street at least a quarter of a
mile. As a result of this journey, I arrived on a hot June morning too desperate to feel
nervous.
When I arrived there, I met the headmaster himself. After asking me to sit down, he
proceeded to ask me a number of questions. I assumed that the headmaster and I obviously
had singularly little in common.
After the interview, we discussed about the subjects I should teach and asked the number
of students in my class. I was rather socked because the teaching set-up appalled me. He told
me that I had to split the class up into three groups and teach them in turn at three different
levels. Then he made me come to the thought of teaching algebra and geometry two subjects
at which I had been completely incompetent at school. But since I needed money, I took the
job.
This was my first job and it was the hardest job I ever had.

The following text is for questions 160 to 163:

Two years ago John Smith accompanied, not only by his wife, but also by
his two children, set out from London to drive to Singapore. Along the Asian highway
(travel publication Ltd) is an account of his adventures.
The first part of the journey across Europe, described in a chapter called
“travelling hopefully” Was not difficult. Their problem did not begin until they reached
Turkey and began the long overland trip through Iran, Afghanistan, Nepal, Pakistan and
Burma.
The main difficulties were bad roads, and in some places, a shortage of
water. The car broke down many times and on two occasions had to be towed more than a
hundred miles to be nearest town. In Nepal, where the road was little more than a mountain
track, the car was involved in an accident and the family had to say 150 miles away in
Katmandu for a week while the damage was repaired.
The Smith took with them food and camping equipment. Although this
extra weight probably caused many problems of breakdowns, John Smith believed that he
was right to be prepared to eat and to sleep anywhere. “Good health,” he writes” is the most
important thing on a trip like this. You can not stay healthy unless you eat and sleep well.

extraordinary holiday.

Bread
Almost everyone eats bread daily, especially for breakfast. Bread making is not a
complicated task. You must have an oven, water, sugar, salt, flour and yeast. The basic
ingredient is flour comes from wheat. There are two kinds of flour which is soft, and the hard
one.
Hard flour, made by Winter wheat, is better choice for making bread. Bread using hard flour
produces better texture and taste. Luke warm water is added to the flour to make dough.
Yeast is a microscopic organism, the size may not be impressive but it is capable of
producing carbon dioxide. It is also easy to use. Powered yeast needs only be dissolved in
water to be used instantly. Yeast works best in the presence of sugar and warmth.
Besides, encouraging yeast to grow quickly in the dough, sugar is added to give flour to the
bread. Salt is added for the same purpose, to make the bread taste nice. However, it has the
reverse effect on yeast, unlike sugar. The next ingredient is oil, olive oil, com oil, peanut oil
and butter. It is essential for making the bread tender. After mixing with all these ingredients,
the flour are hard beaten before sent to the oven.

Next, put a piece of bread in the bowl with the eggs, milk and sugar. Turn over the bread.
Now, put some butter in the pan. Turn on the stove. When the pan is hot, take the bread out of
the bowl and put it into the pan. After you cook one side of the bread, cook the other side.
After you finish the first place of the bread, cook the other pieces. Now you have French
toast!
Teks di atas menerangkan tata cara membuat roti panggang.
Well, kedua teks tersebut memang membahas tentang cara membuat roti. Namun kalau kalian
perhatikan tata cara penulisannya berbeda. Teks yang pertama ditulis dengan menggunakan
uraian kalimat yang disusun sedemikian ilmiah. Contohnya kalimat “Yeast is a microscopic
organism, the size may not be impressive but it is capable of producing carbon dioxide”
(dilihat dari kata-katanya, kesannya science banget kan..) Teks yang kedua ditulis dengan
menggunakan kalimat perintah atau instruksi. Contohnya pada kalimat “After you read the
recipe, put everything on the counter”.

Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we’ll enter
the amazing world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what you’re eating.
Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grown in equatorial
regions, especially in places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree
produces a fruit about the size of a small pineapple, inside the fruit are the tree’s seeds, also
known as cocoa beans.
The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped to the
chocolate maker. The chocolate makers start by roasting the beans to bring out the flavour.
Different beans from different places have different qualities and flavour. So they are often
sorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix. Next, the roasted beans are winnowed.
Winnowing removes the meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then, the rubs are
blended. The blended rubs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called chocolate
liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of fat, and cacao beans are not
different, however, cacao beans are half fat which is why the ground ribs from liquid. It’s
pure bitter chocolate.

The sense of taste
The sense of taste is one of a person’s five senses. We taste with the help of taste buds in the
tongue.
There are four kinds of tastes: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other tastes are just mixtures
of two or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand taste-buds (or cells). These are
connected to the brain by special nerves which send the so-called ‘taste messages’.
When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste buds will pick up the
taste. The nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware of the taste. All
these happen in just a few seconds.
There are four kinds of taste buds, each of which is sensitive to only a particular taste.
These four groups are located in different part of tongue.
The taste – buds for salty and sweet tastes are found round the tip of the tongue and along it
sides. Sour tastes can be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The taste – buds for the
bitter tastes are found at the innermost edge of the tongue. There is taste – buds at the centre
of the tongue.
The sense of smell and sight can affect taste. The good smell of food increases its taste.
Similarly, attractive colors can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food does not
smell good or is dull – colored, it will look tasty and may not taste good at all.
Very hot cold sensations can make the taste – buds incentive. Food that is too hot or too cold,
when placed in the mouth, will have no taste at all.

How Earthquakes Happen
Earthquake is one of the most destroying natural disasters. Unluckily it often happens
in several regions. Recently a horrible earthquake has shaken West Sumatra. It has brought
great damages. Why did it occur? Do you know how an earthquake happens?
Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault.
This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves. It makes the ground shake. When
two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little. They don't
just slide smoothly. The rocks are still pushing against each other, but not moving. After a
while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that's built up. When the rocks break, the
earthquake occurs.
During the earthquake and afterward, the plates or blocks of rock start moving, and
they continue to move until they get stuck again. The spot underground where the rock breaks
is called the focus of the earthquake. The place right above the focus is called the epicenter of
the earthquake.
175. How does the earthquake happen?

D. Put in
E. Take place
How Day and Night Happen
The sun seems to rise in the morning, crosses the sky during the day and sets at night.
However the sun does not actually move around the earth. Earth's turning on its axis makes it
look as if the sun is moves.
The earth makes a complete turn on its axis for 24 hours. It is called as rotation. It
causes day and night. The earth also moves around the sun. It takes 365 days or a year. This
process is called revolution. The revolution process causes the changes of the season.

Making Paper from Woodchips

Wood chipping is a process used to obtain pulp and paper products from forest trees.
The wood chipping process begins when the trees are cut down in a selected area of the forest
called a coupe.
Next the tops and branches of the tress are cut out and then the logs are taken to the
mill. At the mill the bark of the logs is removed and the logs are taken to a chipper which cuts
them into small pieces called wood chips. The woodchips are then screened to remove dirt
and other impurities. At this stage, they are either exported in this form or changed into pulp
by chemicals and heat. The pulp is then bleached and the water content is removed. Finally
the pulp is rolled out to make paper.

How is the light used in photosynthesis? The light used in photosynthesis is
absorbed by a green pigment called chlorophyll. Each food-making cell in a plant leaf
contains chlorophyll in small bodies called cchloroplasts. In chloroplast, light energy
causes water drawn form the soil to split into hydrogen and oxygen.
What are the steps of photosynthesis process? Let me tell you the process of
photosynthesis, in a series of complicated steps. The hydrogen combining with carbon
dioxide from the air forms a simple sugar. Oxygen from the water molecules is given
off in the process. From sugar together with nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus from the
soil-green plants can make starch, fat, protein, vitamins and other complex compounds
which are essential for life. Photosynthesis provides the chemical energy that is needed
to produce these compounds.

Petroleum products, such as gasoline, kerosene, home heating oil, residual fuel oil and
lubricating oil, come from one source. Crude oil is found below the earth surface as well as
under large bodies of water, from of few hundred feet below the surface to as deep as 25,000
feet in to the earth interior. Crude oil is obtained by drilling a hole through the earth, but
sometimes more dry holes are drilled than those producing oil. Pressure at the source, or
pumping, forces the crude oil to the surface
Crude oil wells flow at varying rates from ten to thousands of barrels per hour. Petroleum
products vary grated in physical appearance; thick, transparent or opaque. Their chemical
compositions are made up of only two elements: carbon and hydrogen, which form
compounds called hydrocarbons. Other chemical elements found in the union with the
hydrocarbons are also found, but these are of such minute quantities that they are disregarded.
The various petroleum products are refined from the crude oil by heating and condensing
the vapors of crude oil. These products are called light oil such as gasoline, kerosene, and
distillate oil.

Facsimile
Facsimile, often called fax, is away of transmitting texts and pictures over telephone
lines. News services often use facsimile to send news, stories, and photographs to newspaper
and television stations. Banks, law firms and other businesses use facsimile to send copies of
document, to clients and other organization.
A device called a facsimile machine is used for transmitting and receiving images.
Facsimile machines resemble small photocopiers. However, they are equipped with a
telephone or are connected to one. To send a document, the user inserts it into the machine
and dials the telephone number of the receiving fax machine. After the connection is made,
an electronic scanner on the transmitting machine moves across the page and converts the
image a set of electric signals. These signals travel over the telephone line to the receiving
fax machine. That machine converts the electric signals back into an image of the original
document and then prints a copy.
Some business people use small desktop fax machines or portable models at home or
when they travel. A personal computer can also be used to send and receive documents if it is
equipped with a special electronic circuit board called a fax board.
192. What is the main information in the second paragraph?

ANALYTICAL EXPOSITION
An analytical exposition is a piece of writing that try to convince the readers to agrre withy
the writer’s view point by analyzing the certain issue within the text
Communicative purpose:
To put forward a viewpoint about something
Example of analytical exposition text
Newspapers, editorials, debates, speeches
Generic structure:
 Thesis : introduces topic and indicates writer’s position it also outlines
the writer’s arguments
 Arguments: support the thesis by presenting a series of arguments
 Reiteration: restates the writer’s point of view
1. Gambaran umum
3. Informasi rinci tersurat/tersirat
4. Makna kata/frasa
HORTATORY EXPOSITION
A hortatory exposition is is a piece of writing that persuades the readers to accept the writer’s
point of view by showing the information in the global way.
COMMUNICATIVE PURPOSE
To persuade the reader to agree with the writer
GENERIC STRUCTURE
 THESIS
 ARGUMENTS
 RECOMMENDATION
Analytical VS Hortatory Exposition
Dear students…..
Bingung cara membedakan teks analytical exposition dan hortatory exposition? Don’t worry
it’s so easy. Study the followings ya…
Sebelum kita mengetahui perbedaan teks analytical dan hortatory, mari kita mengenal
persamaan dari kedua teks ini. Teks exposition dibagi menjadi dua bagian yaitu analytical
exposition dan hortatory exposition. Exposition adalah jenis teks yang berisi tentang
argumen-argumen tentang suatu topik. Dalam menulis teks ini, penulis perlu mencari sumber
informasi agar argumen yang dikemukakan cukup kuat untuk mempengaruhi pembaca atau
pendengar.
Dalam kehidupan sehari-hari kita bisa menemukan teks exposition dalam diskusi, pidato,
iklan, surat, dsb. Contohnya, ada seorang teman yang merokok, kita bisa saja memberikan
pendapat kita bahwa merokok itu tidak baik. So the thesis is “Smoking is not good for your
health”. Kemudian kita akan memberikan alasan-alasan mengapa merokok itu tidak baik, so
we tell the arguments that support our thesis. The social function of exposition is to persuade
the reader or listener.
So the difference is…..
Study the text organization of analytical exposition below.
Ada 3 tahapan dalam teks analytical, yaitu:
1. Thesis, berisi tentang suatu pernyataan tentang permasalahan tertentu. Biasanya
diawali dengan kalimat I personally think, In my opinion, I believe, dll.
2. Arguments, berisi tentang alasan-alasan untuk medukung Thesis yang dikemukakan.
Diawali dengan kata, atau f rase First, Second, Furthermore, In addition, The last,
dll.
3. Reiteration, berisi tentang simpulan dari Thesis, dan Arguments yang dikemukakan.
Kata-kata yang digunakan biasanya In my conclusion, Based on the arguments
above, dll
Perbedaan Analytical Exposition dan Hortatory Exposition terletak di paragraf
terakhir. Dalam penulisan Hortatory juga ada 3 bagian, yaitu:
1. Thesis, berisi tentang suatu pernyataan tentang permasalahan tertentu. Biasanya
diawali dengan kalimat I personally think, In my opinion, I believe, dll.
2. Arguments, berisi tentang alasan-alasan untuk medukung Thesis yang dikemukakan.
Diawali dengan kata, atau f rase First, Second, Furthermore, In addition, The last,
dll.
3. Recommendation, berisi tentang saran dari penulis atas Thesis dan Arguments yang
dikemukakan. Biasanya ada kata-kata should, should not, ought to, ought not to,
dll.
For example:

Smoking in restaurants
Smoking in restaurants is just not on. It must not be allowed because it is rude, harmful to
others and dangerous for the smokers.
Firstly, smoking in a restaurant is impolite. The smell of the smoke affects all people and can
turn them off their food. People pay to taste good food and not to be put off by foul smelling
smoke.
Another reason smoking should not be allowed in restaurant is the harm it can do to others.
Passive smoking that is breathing in smoke made by a smoker can lead to asthma attacks and
even cancer.
Finally, smoking is dangerous and a health risk to the smokers. Cigarettes cause heart and
lung disease and people should not smoke anywhere, not just in restaurants.
Therefore, smoking in restaurants is impolite, harmful to others and a health risk to the
smokers and should not be allowed in any restaurants.
Text 2
Is it important to know what your kids are watching? Of course yes. Television can expose
things you have tried to protect them from, especially violence, pornography, consumerism,
etc.
A study demonstrated that spending too much time on watching TV during the day or
bedtime often causes bedtime disruption, stress, and short of sleep duration.
Another research found that there is a significant relationship between the amount of time
spent for watching television during adolescence and early adulthood, and the possibility of
being aggressive.
Meanwhile, many studies have identified a relationship between kids who watch TV a lot and
being inactive and overweight.
Considering some facts mentioned above, protect your children with the following tips:
1. Limit television viewing to 1 – 2 hours each day
2. Do not allow your children to have a TV set in their bedrooms
3. Review the rating of TV shows that your children watch
4. Watch television with your children and discuss what is happening the show
Kedua teks di atas hampir sama, perbedaannya hanya ada di paragraf terakhir. Coba
perhatikan paragraf terakhir pada teks 1 yang hanya berisi simpulan tidak ada saran. Memang
ada kata “shouldn’t be allowed in the restaurants”, namun itu bukan saran melainkan
penguatan dari thesis. Perhatikan lagi thesisnya “It must be allowed because…” Bandingkan
dengan paragraf terakhir pada teks kedua yang berisi saran melalui empat tips yang harus
dilakukan to protect the children. Clear right?
The Importance of Reading

I personally think that reading is a very important activity in our life. Why do I say
so? Firstly, by reading we can get a lot of knowledge about many things in the world such as
Science, technology. Sports, arts, culture, etc written in books, magazine, newspaper, etc.
Secondly, by reading we can get a lot of news and information about something happening in
any parts of the world which can we see directly.
Another reason, reading can give us pleasure too. When we are tired, we read books,
newspaper or magazine on the entertainment column such as comedy, short story, quiz, etc.
To make us relaxed.
The last, reading can also take us to other parts of the world. By reading a book about
Irian Jaya we may feel we’re really sitting in the jungles not at home in our rooms.
From the facts above, it’s obvious that everyone needs to read to get knowledge, information
and also entertainment 0r in summary we can say reading is truly important in our life.

Learning English
Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix pleasure
with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to your English
progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why we use songs in
language learning.
Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the last
song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both enjoyable and
sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the idea that songs work on
our short-and-long term memory.
Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of
repetition, which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that they are
effective makes them many times more motivating than other text. Although usually simple,
some songs can be quite complex syntactically, lexically and poetically, and can be analyzed
in the same way as any other literary sample.
Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most pop songs
and probably many other types don’t have precise people, place or time reference.
In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage harmony
within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools in sustaining
culture, religion, patriotism and yeas, even revolution.
Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs such as
studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension, translating songs, learning
vocabulary, spelling and culture.
From the elaboration above, it can be concluded that learning through music and songs,
learning English can be enjoyable and fun.

Dust Bin
To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, a number of dust bins should be increased.

When we look at classrooms, school corridors and school yard, there are paper
mineral water cups, straws, and napkins here and there. The condition of uncleanliness and
discomfort really hinders learning and teaching environment. Litters thrown carelessly cause
disease, especially empty plastic cup or glasses. They can be filled out with water coming
from the rain. This can be placed for dengue mosquitoes to spread out. Besides, these
rubbish can deteriorate the scene. Well painted wall and green school yard do not mean
anything litters are scattered everywhere.
Anyway I notice that most of the students in our school have responsibilities for the
school environment. They put their litters on the proper places. But some are not diligent
enough to find the dust bins. The numbers of dust binds in our schools are not enough. Ore
dust bins should be put beside each of steps, outside of the classrooms, and some more also
the corridors. Probably one dust bin should be in every ten meters. So when students want to
throw away their litters, they can find the dust bins easily.
When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, we do not have problems of freak
and discomfort any more. Our school will be very clean and become a nice place to study.

211. What is the writer’s intention? To…. readers to do something good.
a) inform
b) explain
c) describe
d) entertain
e) persuade
212. According to the writer, more dust bins….. in every ten meters.
a) should be decorated
b) should be painted
c) should be placed
d) are unnecessary
e) are not required
213. What is the writer’s argument on a sufficient number of dust bins?
a) They can prevent litters
b) They can save janitor’s energy
c) Students are asked to clean them
d) They make school environment neat
e) Students can throw garbage away easily
214. What is the writer’s suggestion?
a) To buy more dustbins
b) To hire more gardeners
c) To use dustbins efficiently
d) To ask parents to give more dustbins
e) To ask students to clean the school yard

boarding school education
There are many arguments in favor of a boarding school education. Nevertheless, the
boarding school is not always the best education institution for everyone.
At an early age interacting and communicating with people is very important for a child’s
personal life and can be especially helpful for his/her future. In a boarding school, shy
children can take advantage of interaction through communal activities. The boarding school
also offers a great variety of activities such as arts, sports, and music that allow children to
demonstrate and develop specialized skills in their free time.
Furthermore, the structured way of life and strict rules at the boarding school may helps
students to get used to a well ordered way of life. The manners and social skills will help
them to become more responsible and confident, and to develop their talents in leadership.
Professionally trained teachers and educators in the boarding school can offer excellent
education without the parents’ constant supervision.
In spite of these good points, it is not advisable to send a child to a boarding school if he/she
is a dependent learner. A boarding school usually demands that student learn independently.
In addition, the boarding school should not be seen as a measure to solve inappropriate
behavior or unsatisfactory study performance. Instead of improving, problematic children
may close off their relationship with their peers and teachers.
In conclusion although a boarding school may provide good education to many children, it is
not recommended for those who are strongly attached to their families. They may become
frustrated and socially isolated.
215. According to the writer, children in a boarding school can develop specialized skills
in…
a. Entrepreneurship
b. Community service
c. Reading
d. Drama
e. Music
216. Why do parents send their children to boarding school? Because…

a. It is good for shy children
b. It gives good education for adults
c. Interacting and communicating with people is very important

Students’ cheating
Students’ cheating is one of the biggest problems faced by teachers nowadays.
Despite the fact that teachers advise their students not to do dishonest acts during tests, some
students still do cheating. There are many kinds of cheating that students do during the test or
examination, such as looking other students’ work, put some notes under their clothes, write
notes or formulas on their desks make hand signals or go to rest rooms to get the answers
from their friends.
In my view, students who do cheating are committing a crime. It is a sort of taking something
illegally. This crime causes negative results to the students. Students who always cheat
deteriorate their mental capacity. Cheating acts also create dependence. They weaken their
self confidence. Instead of preparing for the coming test, they are busy to organize notes on a
piece of paper. If this awful habit continues, the students will lose their opportunity to
develop their intellectual and mind.
Therefore, school should consider cheating as a very serious problem. School board and
administration should go hand to overcome this matter. Honesty must be put in school’s
vision. Harsh punishment must be applied to students who commit this crime.

1
Being on time is a beautiful social ethic and one of great importance, as it creates
efficiency in systems and implies respect for one another. However, it is one of the many
values that a school must inculcate into its students over time.
2
Discipline is not something that must be slapped onto a child like handcuffs.
3
Inner discipline, one that comes from within due to an understanding of the set rules
and regulations, is the highest form of behaviour. Most excellent schools try to instill this
with a loving environment.
4
Why, even adults arrive late to meetings, work, etc–admittedly shamefaced. Here, we
are talking about children.
5
Latecomers should not be shut out. They can be given warnings, most of which are
enough to make them want to reach school on time. If this fails, talk to the parents.
5
By closing its gates, the school is behaving cruelly and coldly–treatment to which we
prefer not to expose our children.
6
Every school has a responsibility to implement educational concepts in the
appropriate context, not just those schools that follow international standards and are
generally unaffordable for the majority.
7
Good schools create competitive students who can organise themselves effectively in
society so that everyone gets a quality life as a result of ethics and values imbibed into
students for as long as 12 years
8
Children are precious, and are dependent on adults for guidance and we must not take
advantage of this. Understanding them is the key, and to this end, both parents and schools
must work hand in hand without playing the blame game.

C. Creating good school environment
D. Implementing educational concepts
E. Creating competitive students

134Should Americans be Forced to Use Public Transportation?
by Jack Davis
First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should we all
abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is it
asking if every American should do so. It is asking whether some Americans should have to
take public transit some of the time, and I would say yes.
Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York there just isn’t
room for any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow, they need more people
to take public transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One bus can safely hold 40 people, so
even at half capacity that’s nearly 20 cars’ worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20
parking spaces that don’t need to be built.
There are a lot of people that can take public transit with little inconvenience but simply don’t
because they never have in the past. If residents in areas with plenty of transit had to buy
transit passes as part of their property taxes then they would have little excuse not to bus
occasionally. A number of universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition fees,
forcing their students to take the bus. When given the chance the majority of those students
have voted to keep these programs.
A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking spaces in
exchange for a discount on their rent would also be forcing people to use public transit. This
is already being done with the assignment of one community car to several apartment tenants
that arrange a schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive reviews.
So yes, I would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as Americans
whom are already forced to do so find that it works well for them.
227. What does the writer suggest?

a. Americans should learn to use public transportations
b. American should give up their cars
c. Americans should be forced to use public transportations
d. The government should limit the number of cars
e. The government should charge extra taxes for those who uses cars
228. The following is one of the writer’s suggestions in forcing people to use public
transportation....
a. Make people buy transit passes as part of their property taxes
b. Banning the use of cars
c. Stop automobiles productions
d. Fine people who do not use public transportations
e. Limit the number of gasoline
229. In the article you find the word transit a few times. What does it means?
A. Stop
B. Transportation
C. Exit
D. Entrance
E. Bus stop

Is Smoking Good For Us?
Before we smoke, it is better to look at the fact of smoking effects, not only for
smokers but also for non smokers. About 50 thousand people die every year in Britain as the
direct result of smoking. This is the seven times as many as deaths in road accidents. Nearly a
quarter of smokers die because of diseases caused by smoking.
Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five cigarettes a day,
we are six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a non- smoker. If we smoke twenty
cigarettes a day, the risk is nineteen times greater. Ninety five percent of people who suffer
from bronchitis are people who smoke. Smokers are two and half times more likely to die of
heart disease than non- smokers
Additionally, children of smokers are more likely to develop bronchitis and pneumonia. In
one hour in a smoky room, a non-smoker breathes as much as substance causing cancer as if
he had smoked fifteen cigarettes.
Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because they do make much money from
smoking habit. Smoking, however, is not good for everybody else

a. A report of deaths caused by smoking
b. The effects of smoking for people
c. A calculation of how many cigarettes that may cause cancer
d. Information of the effect of smoking to non smokers
e. The result of smoking habit for tobacco companies
231. What is the effect of smoking to non smoker?
A. It makes non-smokers healthy
B. It makes non-smokers have a good life
C. It risks non-smokers’ health
D. It causes so much fun
E. It results in a better lung function
232. This is the seven times as many as deaths in road accidents (p.1)
The underlined word refers to ….
A. the accident
B. the smokers

Review Text
My dearest students…
Salah satu teks yang mudah dibedakan dibandingkan teks lainnya adalah teks review. Dalam
bahasa Indonesia kalian pasti pernah denger atau baca resensi buku, film, atau kaset. Nah,
dalam bahasa Inggris kalian akan mempelajari juga resensi tersebut, cuma.. namanya diganti
jadi review. Mudah kan? Yup.. review teks adalah teks yang membahas mengenai resensi

Contoh:
Cinta (Dian Sastrowardoyo) is a beautiful, smart and confident seventeen year old. Born in a
loving family, surrounded by caring and supporting friends. Cinta seems to have everything
in the world. She has four best friends, Milly (Sissy Pricillia), Karmen (Adinia Wirasti), Alya
(Ladya Cheryl), and Maura(Titi Kamal) who always protect her. She’s also the object of
Borne’s affection, the most eligible boyfriend at school.
But things are starting to change when Cinta meets Rangga (Nicholas saputra), a cool and
arrogant boy whose presence is never taken into account at school. The unpredictable
character of Rangga has disturbed Cinta. It creates a new and unfamiliar sensation which
leads Cinta into a new and strange world. The next thing she knows, she has fallen in love
with someone who has a very different character and comes from a very different world.
Bit by bit, Cinta starts to change. She becomes a new person, a stranger to her friends and
even to herself. She doesn’t understand what has happened, let alone her friends.

Breaking and Entering is unusual film. Will and Sandy are architects working on a
major urban renewal project in the King’s Cross section in London. The area is unsafe and
ready for such s project. Will and Sandy move their offices into a nearby vacant warehouse.
Will has to deal with constant burglaries at his new office. One night, he saw Miro trying to
break into the building. He chased Miro to his rundown apartment block and watched him
return home to his mother, Amira, a Bosnian immigrant who makes a living tailoring clothes.
Soon, Will ‘meet’ Amira and they begin an affair. And Amira learns that Will holds the key
of her son’s future. How far will this mother go to protect her son? Breaking and Entering is a
very interesting film, but it is almost entirely character driven. This is not a bad thing
although in the film we are exposed to a story or action driven.
Anthony Minghella, the director, creates some of the most believable interesting
characters these actors have ever played. It is almost painful to watch them on their journey.
Each of the characters makes decisions affecting how their lives will play out, or change and
these decisions and actions affect the story. The characters aren’t reacting to the story. They
are changing.

“Mission: Impossible 2”
When I saw the original Brian de Palma “Mission: Impossible” in 1996, I found the plot
confusing but the action sequences thrilling – and I especially enjoyed the Prague locations
(because I know the city so well). In the case of “M:i 2”, there is very little plot, but – thanks
to director John Woo (“Broken Arrow” and “Face/Off”) - the action scenes are even more
explosive and even more visceral with some superb stunts and a pounding soundtrack. I could
have done without the repeated use of a particular prosthetics trick, but the thrilling final bike
chase sequence is vintage Woo and worth the admission price alone. This time round, we
have a very different Tom Cruise as Impossible Missions Force agent Ethan Hunt: he looks
different, with his long hair flaying all over the place; he fights differently, displaying flying
drop kicks at every opportunity; and he feels differently, almost immediately falling in love.
Cruise can act, as we know from “Magnolia”, but here his thespian talents are not really
needed. However, the guy did do virtually all his own stunts and he was co-producer, so I
suppose he deserves his rumoured 30% share of the profits. I would like to have seen half
British half Zimbabwean Thandie Newton (“Beloved”), as both the agent and the villain’s
love interest, given a more physically resourceful role and the great Anthony Hopkins is
sadly underused – although he does have the best lines – as the head of the IMF. At least the
Scottish Dougray Scott is suitably chilling as the renegade with an original use for his cigar
cutter. The critics have been pretty cynical about this movie – “More Tom foolery with Mr
Cruise” and “Cruising on empty” were just two of the British headlines – but, when I saw the
film on its opening weekend at the largest cinema in London (the Empire Leicester Square),
every performance that evening was sold out and, at the end of my showing, the audience
actually applauded. Sure, it’s a triumph of style over performance – but what style. And, if
you’ve had a tough week at work (as I had), it’s a terrific antidote.
236. What makes “Mission Impossible 2” more interesting than the first?
A. The action is more explosive.
B. The place is so amazing.
C. The changing of the actor.
D. The difference stuntman.
E. The tickets were sold out.
237. What is the purpose of the writer writing the text?

A. To explain the difference between “Miision Imposible I and II”
B. To tell about the “Mission Impossible II”.
C. To review the movie “Mission Impossible II”.
D. To argue about the comparison.
E. To entertain the audience of the movie.

Music and Lyrics Movie Review
Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant) is a washed-up 80’s pop star who’s been reduced to working the
nostalgia circuit at county fairs and amusement parks. The charismatic and talented musician
gets a chance at a comeback when reigning diva Cora Corman (Haley Bennett) invites him to
write and record a duet with her, but there’s a problem--Alex hasn’t written a song in years,
he’s never written lyrics, and he has to come up with a hit in a matter of days, enter Sophie
Fisher (Drew Barrymore), Alex’s attractively quirky lady, whose flair for words strikes a
chord with the struggling songwriter. On the rebound from a bad relationship, Sophie is
reluctant to collaborate with anyone, especially commitment-phobia Alex. As their chemistry
heats up at the piano and under it, Alex and Sophie will have to face their fears--and the
music--if they want to find the love and success they both deserve.

“The little Old Lady who was Not Afraid of Anything” by Linda Williams is a great
Halloween story, although it doesn’t have the word “Halloween” anywhere in the texts. A
brave old lady walks home through a dark forest. She comes across two big shoes, a pair of
pants, a shirt, two gloves and a hat. Each time, the little old lady tells them she is not afraid of
anything. Then, after a scary orange pumpkin head appears, the old lady runs all way at
home. Once at time, she overcomes her fear and finds a happy solution. The items that have
tried to scare her become a scarecrow in the little old ladies garden. The picture book makes
good use of attention-grabbing sound words, such as “clomp, clomp”, “shake, shake”, and
“clap, clap”. Megan Lodi’s lively and detailed illustrations show the old lady’s emotions and
complement the story well. It is a good picture book for reading aloud to children in

The story to ‘Kung Fu Panda
The story to ‘Kung Fu Panda’ is nothing really new, but it is told so well as to actually
pack an emotional punch. And it never comes off as laughable, which in lesser hands could
easily have happened. Speaking of laughs, there are many to be had here as well. ‘Kung Fu
Panda’ works on just about every level a family movie can.
The cast features Jack Black as Po the Panda. The furious five, the most feared group of
warriors in all of China, consists of Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Mantis
(Seth Roger), Viper (Lucy Liu), and Crane (David Cross). Their master is Shifu (Dustin
Hoffman), a fur ball creature who is a legendary teacher of Kung Fu. Escaped from prison
and on hi way to claim the Dragon Scroll, which will make him the all powerful Dragon
Warrior, is the good gone bad Tai Lung (Ian McShane). But first, he’ll have to muscle his
way around 400 pounds of panda to get to it.
‘Kung Fu Panda’ is a damn good time at the movies. This was the movie that Dreamworks
Animation so desperately needed after the disappointing ‘Shrek The Third’. With gorgeous
animation, spectacular action, a great cast and dramatic weight of an Akira Kurosawa film,
Kung Fu Panda is one of the favorite movies of the year.
244. Which of the following quality does not describe the movie?
A. Funny
B. Touching
C. Stunning movie picture
D. Excellent actors
E. Unexciting

Nuclear power is generated by using uranium, which is a metal mined in various parts
of the world. The first large scale nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall in
Cumbria, England, in 1956.
Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power plant for engines. Nuclear
power produces around 11% of the world’s energy needed, and produces huge amounts of
energy. It causes no pollution as you’d get when burning fossil fuel.
The advantages of nuclear are as follows:
1. It costs about the same as coal, so it’s not expensive to make.
2. It doesn’t produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it doesn’t contribute to the greenhouse
effect.
3. It produces huge amounts of energy from small amount of uranium.
4. It produces small amounts of waste.
5. It is reliable.
On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and
buried for many years to allow the radioactivity to die away. Furthermore, although it is
reliable, a lot of money has to be spent on safety because if it does go wrong, a nuclear
accident can be a major disaster.
People are increasingly concerned about this. In the 1990’s nuclear power was the
fastest growing source of power in many parts of the world. In 2005, it was the 2nd slowest
growing.
248. The text discusses….

A. nuclear in general
B. nuclear biggest station
C. the danger of radioactive
D. the disadvantages of nuclear power
E. the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power
249. The opposite of dangerous is … (Paragraph 4)
A. vile D. calm
B. dull E. safe
C. tiny
250. Why is nuclear power very dangerous?
Because….
A. its radioactive lasts long
B. uranium is renewable
C. it is reliable
D. it is cheap
E. it is safe
251. Which statement is TRUE about nuclear?
A. It is reliable
B. It is costly to make
C. It causes air pollution
D. It affects the greenhouse
E. It produces small amounts of energy

ADOPTION
Adoption is the process by which people take a child who was not born to them
and raise him or her as a member of their family. By law, adopted children differ from
foster children. An adopted child has all the legal rights of a member of the family that
raises him or her. A foster child does not.
Parents place their children up for adoptions for many reasons. Some parents feel
they cannot adequately care for their off springs because of health or economic
conditions. Some others, especially unwed parent, may not want to raise a child.
But there are couples who cannot have children of their own. Adoption gives
them opportunity to. raise a family. They can get one from an adoption agency if they
have all the requirements asked.
State laws prohibit adoption agencies from revealing the identity of the natural
parents to the adoptive parents. These laws also forbid agencies from disclosing the
identity of the adoptive parents to the natural parents. In some states, the law pennits
adopted persons who are at least 18 years old to see their birth certificates including the
natural parents' names.
On the contrary, many adopted people worked to change the laws. They argue
that people have a right to know their identity. They said that keeping secret their
adoptions records violate their right. .
On the other hand, many people feel adoption records should be kept secret. If
not, natural parents might change their minds years later and take the child away from
the parents who raised him or her.
Some experts advice that a child should know of the adoptions by the age of 6 or 7
surveys have shown that most adopted children develop normally.
252. Which of the following is not the reason why parents place their child up for adoption?
A. He or she is from a poor family.
B. His or her parents do not love them.
C. His or her parents are not in good health.
D. His or her parents do not want to raise him/her.
E. His or her parents cannot afford to give good education.
253. An adoptive child has no
right.... A to receive
inheritance
B. to get adequate love and care C to know his/her adoption record
D. to live with his/her natural parents
E. to be well treated as member of a family
254. The writer's purpose in writing the text above is....
A. to tell readers how to adopt a child
B. to describe people who adopt a child
C. to explain to readers how an adopted child raised
D. to persuade people to have a foster or to adopt a child
E. to inform readers the reasons and problems of adopting a child
255. Which of the following is the most improbable reason why adopted children want to
have/known their adoptive records?
A. They want to know their natural parents.
B. They want to know why they are adopted.
C. They want to know their status in adoptive
parents.
D. They want to pay back their adoptive
parents expenditure.
E. 'They want to know why their parents place
them up for adoption.
There are a lot of discussions as to whether children should be given homework or

not.
Some people claim that children do 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 be
given at the weekend when children have more time.
256. How do we compare the second and the fourth paragraph?

A. Both paragraphs argue that homework is necessary for students.
B. Unlike the fourth paragraph, the second paragraph argues that homework is unnecessary.
C. The second paragraph supports that students need homework, but the fourth paragraph
does not.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Home Office

Everybody like home sweet home however making office at home is possible and
recommend. Of course, home office will have both advantage and disadvantage. Therefore it
is wise to consider the strengths and weaknesses to have a home office.
Some people will agree that having office at home will make benefit. It saves time. We need
no commuting which occasionally takes a long time. Besides we are free to set the work
schedule. Having home office will save money as we need not to purchase or lease of office
space from rent companies. What make it more flexible is that we can set part or all parts of
our home just as a real office. What we need is only a wireless router to cover all parts of our
house with Internet. We can run our business wherever part of house we want, from living
room, bed room, veranda, etc even we can make sell or purchase by online shopping for
things we need. Furthermore working at home might reduce stress, effort and time and divert
it to other more productive things because while working, we are close to our families.
However making home as office also has some disadvantages. For some people,
keeping the schedule is hard in flexible time. Such people type will get harder if they are
working just from home. There will no clear border between working and breaking. Working
just from home also reduces the possibility to meet new people. It is true that computer and
Internet connection possibly relate people every time and everywhere but we will interact
with them in a dimension which is not real face.
So considering carefully what we actually need in running our business is very
recommended before choosing to have office at home or not.

During the twentieth century the world has witnessed the inventions of many
amazing things. Television is a great invention, but there are arguments for and against
whether it is the best invention of the twentieth century
Television was invented in the1920s and first came to Australia in 1956. It has
played an important role in communicating news. We can learn instantly about what is
happening in the world because of television. Also, television has provided people with
entertainment in their own homes. People in isolated areas can still feel the other part of the
world because of television. For these reasons I feel that television could be considered the
best invention of the twentieth century.
On the other hand, there are other inventions that could be considered better than
television. Some might argue that computer should be awarded the distinction of being the
best invention because computer has made life easier. Others might argue that medical
inventions such as heart pacemakers are best inventions because they help to save live.
It can be seen that there are reasons for and against television being considered the
best invention of the twentieth century. After looking at both sides I still believe it is the best
invention.

Death penalty
Death penalty for serious criminals has been discussed by our experts. Those who agree say
that death penalty will scare the criminals off. However, those who disagree say that it is
inhuman not effective and we can not correct the wrong sentence after the criminals die.
In Switzerland, this penalty does not exist. Most people argue that the possibility of making
the wrong decision is always there although it is true that spending life behind the bars is not
easy either. Also every person should have a chance for rehabilitation. In this way he or she
can start all over again in another life style.
Those argue that there is no use to feed the terrorists in prison with their money. When they
get out, they will create a lot of troubles by blackmailing and killing people. So, who says
that jails will stop them from being guys?

wonder if those people are worthy of feeling.

Mangrove Trees
A mangrove is a tropical marine tree or shrub of the genus Rhizhopora. Mangroves have
special aerial roots and salt-filtering tap roots that enable them to thrive in brackish water
(brackish water is salty, but not as salty as sea water).
There are several species of mangroves trees found all over the world. Some prefer more
salinity, while others like to be very close to a large fresh water source (such as a river).
Some prefer areas that are sheltered from waves. Some species have their roots covered with
sea water everyday during high tide. Other species grow on dry land, but are still part of the
ecosystem.
Mangroves need to keep their trunk and leaves above the surface of the water. Yet they
also need to be firmly attached to the ground so they are not moved by waves. There are three
types of mangrove roots that play an important role for it:
(1) support roots which directly pierce the soil.
(2) level-growing roots which twist upwards and downwards; with the upward twists
emerging on the water surface.
(3) level growing roots whose downward twists (sub-roots) appear on the water surface.
Any part of a root that appears above the water flows oxygen to the plant under water
surface. As the soil begins to build up, these roots produce additional roots that become
embedded in the soil.
274. The main idea of the text is….
A. Mangroves grow on dry land.

E. The parts of the plant under the water should have enough salt.
Blueberries, cranberries, and huckleberries-like dark-skinned bunch grapes-contain

resveratrol, a potential anticancer agent. That's a new finding from preliminary data from
ARS collaborative studies with Rutgers University-New Jersey and AgCanada, Kentville,
Nova Scotia. Resveratrol protects dark-skinned bunch grapes from fungal diseases and
provides health benefits to consumers, including protection from cardiovascular disease.
The compound's anticancer potential warranted its examination in other fruits.
Using gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric procedures, the scientists measured the
resveratrol content of 30 whole fruit samples of blueberry, cranberry, huckleberry, and
related plants representing 5 families and 10 species of Vaccinium . fruit. They found that
several samples contained varying amounts of the compound. Analysis of extracts of the skin,
juice/pulp, and seed of muscadine grapes showed that its concentration in fruit skin was
highest. Levels in the juice/pulp were much lower than in either skin or seeds. Researchers
are continuing to analyze more Vaccinium and muscadine samples. Future research goals
will· include enhancing production of resveratrol in selected species.

The following text is for questions 285 to 287.

The White Pellican The white pelican is one of the most successful fish eating birds. The
success is largely due to its command hunting behaviour. A group, perhaps two dozens birds,
will gather in a curved are some distance offshore, beating the water furiously with their
wings, driving the fish before them. When the water is shallow enough for the birds to reach
the fish, the formation breaks up as each bird dip its bill into the water to scoop up its meal.
As the bird lifts its head, the water drains from its bill leaving the fish which are then
swallowed. Pelicans are among the oldest group of birds. Fossil of this genus have been
founded dating back 40 millions years.

to fly to the sky until the parakeets were free. The hunter was surprised when he saw the
parakeets were flying. He saw there was one parakeet left in the net. He moved quickly.
"Gotcha!" he caught the parakeet king. And then the hunter went home. He put the parakeet
king in a birdcage. In the jungle, all the parakeets were sad because their king was locked in a
birdcage. They set a plan to free their king. All the parakeets flew to the hunter's house. With
their beaks, the parakeets pecked the birdcage. Slow but sure, the birdcage was destroyed.
