A Life Lesson
By Anonymous.

I lost my father when I was only nine years old. This was the biggest loss I have had. He was everything to me, his only
daughter. We were so close. I did not lose him to death though. I lost him in a much harder way: I lost my father to drugs.
He got addicted and started to ignore my brother and me.

One cool summer night, my brother, a couple of our friends, and I were watching Scary Movie 3 in the living room.
Around 9:30 pm, when I looked toward the kitchen, I saw orange and yellow flames reflecting off the door`s window. It
was a meth explosion caused by his careless actions under the influence of the drugs.

After the fire was out, I saw my dad run around to the backyard and jump into the pool. I knew then that he had gotten
burned. He ended up confined in the hospital. After he got better, they put him in jail for a month under drug charges. I
was so mad and hurt, and suffered from severe depression. It destroyed my health and my social life.

One day, one of my teachers stopped me in the hall to ask if I was okay. She asked if she could help me, if I would tell
her what was going on. So I did. She helped save me and lift me back up. After a while, I started to feel and do better.
She is now one of my greatest friends and mentors, and we talk daily. I could never repay her for everything she has
done for me.

Through my experiences, I learned never to do anything without thinking of how it will impact the people around me.

In the olden days, there were three brothers: Dan, Nor and Osten. They were the sons of King Ypper, who lived in
Uppsala in Sweden. The brothers went their separate ways, settling each in a different country.

Dan ruled only over the island of Zealand and the lesser isles. Jutland, Funen and Scania were their neighbour
countries. The Jutes were, at that time, at war with the German king. They built barriers along their southern
border, which was called Kovirke. But when the German king came with a mighty army, they sent messengers to
King Dan asking for his help.

Dan went to war against the Germans, and a great battle was fought before the wall. Most of the enemy fell, and the
rest fled. When the Jutes saw how brave King Dan was, they placed him upon a great stone, proclaiming him their
king. This stone has since been called Daneryge (ryge being a Jutish word for "large stone").

When the people of Funen and Scania heard of this, they also elected Dan their king. Dan now summoned the best men
in all the Kingdom, and he said to them, "This land is fair and fertile, yet it has one flaw: it lacks a name."

They answered him: "You are Dan, and therefore the land shall be called Danmark, and this name shall last for so
long as the world lasts."

Read the passage below and answer the questions!No matter what kind of lifestyle you lead, your shoes
will inevitably get dirty. Luckily, a simple cleaning will often remove excess dirt and grime, leaving them looking
brand new! How you clean them, however, depends on what they are made out of, what you have on hand, and
how much time you have
Remove and clean the laces. Un-lace your shoes and, with a soapy brush, scrub them on a washboard or
draining board. Then allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing them into your shoes. If your laces are real
scuzzy, however, you may need to buy new ones.
Remove and clean the insoles. With a slightly soapy mixture of warm water and liquid detergent, gently scrub
your insoles with a soft brush or rag. Afterward, soak up any excess soapy water with a sponge and allow them to air
dry completely before placing them back in your shoes.
Remove excess dirt. With a soft-bristle brush, such as a shoe brush or a toothbrush, scrub away the excess
debris on the outside of your shoes. You may need to use a toothpick or a Q-tip to get in those hard-to-reach
places.

Mix a cleaning solution. While there are many shoe-cleaning solutions on the market, a simple mixture of
warm water and a little liquid detergent will serve well to create a slightly soapy mixture in order to clean the
outside of your shoes.
Scrub your shoes. Apply a little of the cleaning solution to a sponge or soft cloth or brush and scrub the outside of
your shoes. This may require some effort and a few attempts, depending on the state of your shoes.
For tougher-stained areas, let the cleaning solution set for a few minutes, then scrub it away. Remove excess
solution. Put some warm water on another sponge or soft cloth or brush, and brush away the remaining
solution until it is no longer visible.
Air-dry your shoes. Place your shoes (and laces and insoles) in a moderately lit place at room temperature to air
dry. Do not put them somewhere hot (e.g. near a radiator) or in direct sunlight, as this may damage the shoes.
Putting your shoes in the dryer is not advisable, as the dryer can warp the soles of your shoes.

CAMERA
A camera is an optical instrument for recording images, which may be stored locally, transmitted to another
location, or both. The images may be individual still photographs or sequences of images constituting videos or
movies. The functioning of the camera is very similar to the functioning of the human eye.

A camera may work with the light of the visible spectrum or with other portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. A
still camera is an optical device which creates a single image of an object or scene and records it on an electronic
sensor or photographic film. All cameras use the same basic design: light enters an enclosed box through a
converging lens and an image is recorded on a light-sensitive medium.

A shutter mechanism controls the length of time that light can enter the camera. A display, often a liquid crystal
display (LCD), permits the user to view scene to be recorded and settings such as ISO speed, control the
exposure, and the shutter speed.

A movie camera or a video camera operates similarly to a still camera, except it records a series of static images in
rapid succession, commonly at a rate of 24 frames per second. When the images are combined and displayed in
order, the illusion of motion is achieved.

13. What is the purpose of the text?


A.To persuade the readers to buy a camera.
B. To expose the readers to the use of a camera.
C. To inform the readers the function of a camera.
D. To explain to readers why a camera is important.
E. To describe to the readers about a camera in general.

14. From the text, what do we learn about the illusion of motion?
A. It happens when images are combined and displayed in order at a high speed.
B. It is the result of displaying images taken by a still camera or video camera.
C. It is the effect of combining images at a high speed using a still camera.
D. It is achieved when the recorded images are displayed in order.
E. It happens when a movie camera or a video camera is operated.

15. What are discussed in paragraph 2 and paragraph 4?


A. Both paragraphs tell about the different features and operation between a still camera and a movie camera.
B. Unlike the former that informs about camera features, the latter tells about the work of a camera.
C. Paragraph 2 tells about the work of a still camera, and paragraph 4 informs about the display of a movie camera.

Read the passage below and answer the question.


Bullying is the use of force or coercion to abuse or intimidate others. The behaviour can be habitual and involve an
imbalance of social or physical power. It can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion and
may be directed repeatedly towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or
ability. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a "target".

Bullying can occur in any context in which human being interact with each other. This includes school, church, family,
the workplace, home, and neighborhoods.

Bullying is absolutely wrong for several reasons. First, nobody wants to get bullied. Imagine if you or your family
member is one who is being bullied. What do you think will happen to him/her?
Nobody wants to live his /her life like a frightened rabbit, right?

Second, the victims can make a revenge by telling their parents, teachers or even your principal about what you
have done to them, and surely, you will be in a very, very big trouble.

Finally, bullying can result in very serious consequences. Maybe it is done for fun, but the victims can consider it as a
deep traumatic experience that can lead to depression, or even suicide. When that happens, surely you will forever
be regretful.

From the facts above, it is clear that bullying is wrong, and it only brings negative impacts.

Teenagers Really Need a Mobile Phone?
Nowadays, mobile phones are becoming an extremely popular electronic for people. They are also becoming more
technologically sophisticated; most can take and share pictures and videos and connect to the Internet for web
surfing. Many teenagers are cell phone owners, however. It is debatable whether a teenager actually needs a mobile
phone, but mostly they will say that a phone was essential to their happiness and social standing. There are however
positive and negative sides for teenagers having a mobile phone.

One of the reasons of letting a teenager have a mobile phone is because one way of making a teenager do exactly
what you want is by using a combination between bribery and blackmail. They will do what you want easily if you
offer to put more data on their mobile phone. The second reason is that mobile phones can also be an excellent way
of staying in touch with a teenager when they are away from home. Third, many cell phones enable teenagers to
access the internet. By using this feature, teenagers can obtain answers to questions very quickly and easily. The
last, if a teenager has a mobile phone, they can use it to call for help in a risky situation for some reason. In such a
condition, having a cell phone handy could be a lifesaver.

In spite of having some advantages, letting teenagers have a mobile phone has also some disadvantages. First,
cheating can be done more easily by using mobile phones since students can search or text the answers under their
desks during tests. Second, mobile phones can be very distracting from some important activities in a child’s life
such as studying, doing homework, or even crossing the street. Third, adult contents which can be accessed easily is
also an issue for parents to consider before giving a mobile phone for their child.

We need to be wise to use such a sophisticated technology in our lives. As parents, we can set guidelines for our children
on when they are able to use their cell phones or give a suitable phone for their age so that we can get more advantages
from purchasing a mobile phone for our children.

21. What does the text inform the readers about bad effect of mobile phones for teenagers?
8

A. It costs a lot of money to have a mobile phone.


B. It can make the teenagers dishonest in doing the test.
C. It can encourage them to do some important activities.
D. It can make the teenagers understand an issue happening in the world.
E. It will make the teenagers easy to communicate with everybody during the lesson.

22. What is discussed in paragraph 2 and 3?


A. Both paragraphs talk about functions of mobile phones.
B. Both paragraphs deal with the side effect of using mobile phones.
C. Paragraph 2 deals with mobile phone features; paragraph 3 discusses its function.
D. Paragraph 2 discusses the merits of mobile phones; paragraph 3 discusses the drawbacks of mobile
phones.

phones.

Once upon a time there lived two pigeons. They were husband and wife. They spend their day
looking for food. In the evening they would come and rest on their favourite tree in the forest.
One evening the wife returned home early. As usual she was waiting for her husband, when
suddenly it started raining. She started to worry. “Where are you my dear? You never get so late,”
she whispered to herself.
Just then she saw a bird-catcher coming towards her. In a cage he had a pigeon. It was her
husband. “Oh no, what shall I do now? I wish I can help my husband,” she said. She desperately
tried to distract the bird-catcher by flapping her wings, but all in vain.
Soon, it stopped raining. “Brrr! It is so cold,” said the bird-catcher. His clothes were wet. He
decided to sit under the same tree where the two pigeons lived.
The poor wife sat by her husband’s cage. And she started to cry. The husband said, “Do not feel
sad, dear. We now have a guest. This man is shivering and hungry. He needs your help.” Hearing
this, the wife flew around getting dry twigs. She made a fire for the bird-catcher. Then she looked
at the bird-catcher and said, “You are our guest. Since I have no food to offer, I will jump into this
fire. In few minutes I will be well cooked, and you can eat me.”
By now. The bird-catcher was overwhelmed by the hospitality of the humble pigeon couple.
He at once stopped the wife jumping into the fire.
He opened the cage and set the husband free. “I have been cruel and selfish. I will never trap any bird in
my net again,” said the bird-catcher and went away. The two pigeons were happy to be reunited.

The sun is an enormously large sphere of burning gases. It is the largest and most observable
object in the solar system and makes up about 98% of the total amount of matter within the
system. The diameter of the sun is so large that it would take 109 earths to span it and its volume
is so large that it could hold over 1.3 million earths. The sun has three main parts. It has a core, a
corona and a photosphere. There are large storm areas on the sun where massive clouds of

The sun radiates energy into space. The sun`s energy provides heat and light. The energy produced
in the sun`s core takes about a million years to rise to the surface. Over 700 million tons of
hydrogen gas is converted into burnt helium every second. As this happens, more than 5 million
tons of pure energy is released. Billions of years from now, the sun will burn all its fuel and
collapse. In the meantime, it will continue to be the source of energy for all life on earth.

The sun is a star. It is classified as a G2 star or yellow dwarf. The classes are O, B, A, F, G, K and M; O
stars are the hottest; M the coolest.

Read the passage below and answer the questions!


It is important to know how people in Jakarta satisfy the need for clean water. They use ground
water, the governmental water supply PAM (Perusahaan Air Minum) and public Hydrants. The
number of the population in Jakarta is 8.5 million but only 41% of them have accessed to clean
water from PAM, while the rest still depend on ground water. The shallow ground water is used in
hotels, offices, factories, and areas of residences. There will not be any problem if they do not use
the water more than the resource`s capacity.

Men are granted a large amount of colorless liquid called water. Life will not exist without water.
There are a lot of domestic purposes such as drinking, preparation of food and beverages,
bathing, cleansing, and watering the lawns and gardens and secondarily in industrial processes,
commercial products disposal of wastes in sewers, firefighting, street sprinkling, swimming pools,
and public fountains. For most of the purposes above the quality of water must be good. There
are a lot of sources of water supply such as underground and surface water. Ground water
resources are near at hand and systems are cheap to install, for example by setting pump or
digging a well. The surface water is obtained from large lake or river nearby, consequently it will
be very expensive to get the water because the supply depends on the amount of water in large
reservoirs, from which long pipes are needed to pump the water into the houses. Ground water is
generally clear, cold, colorless, and cleaner than surface water in some regions.

In order to have clean water supplies people should conserve the water. It can be conserved in
many ways, including measurement and recording of all purpose water consumption, holding
flood water in oversize reservoirs, desalting seawater, guarding of ground water against the
intrusion of sea water, and reducing evaporations in reservoirs using large ground water reservoir

Isaac Newton was a shy and quiet boy growing up on a farm in England a long time ago. He was
not a very exceptional student. He enjoyed spending much of his time making contraptions,
such as a windmill used to grind grains, a clock which was powered by water and other various
inventions. As a result, he did very poorly at school. His teacher described him as ‘idle’ and
‘inattentive’. Nobody paid much attention to him. Nobody that was, except the school bully.
One day the bully punched Isaac in the stomach. That hurt him and that got Isaac very mad. He
pulled himself up immediately and fought back. Isaac pushed the bully onto the ground and
rubbed his face in the mud. All the other kids hated the bully, came and cheered for Isaac.
Isaac had taught the bully a lesson, but he wasn’t satisfied with that. Now that he knew he could
fight better than the bully, he wanted to prove that he could do anything better than the bully. He
started paying attention at school and studied hard. He was soon top of his class, proving he was
smarter than the bully too.
Isaac Newton kept on studying and when he was old enough, he became a maths professor at

My First Experience
By Faricharahma

Last year, when I was eighteen years old, my eldest brother bought a new city car. I wanted to
know how to drive it. I tried to persuade him to teach me to drive his car, but was not surprised
when he refused my request. He promised that he would teach me how to drive in three or four
years, but I still whined and whimpered. Finally, after a lot of whining, and way before the allotted
number of years, my brother finally granted my request and offered to teach me how to drive.
Three days later, my brother and I went to the field so I could start my lessons. My brother
patiently instructed me through the steps. I was very nervous because that was my first time to
drive.

After a week`s lesson, my family and I visited my grandmother in Bandung, about four hours from
our place. I was alone at home and realised that I had an opportunity to drive the car on my own.
I drove confidently for about 6 km, but then I got nervous and I lost control of the car. The street I
was driving on was so narrow that one single momentary lapse caused the car to crash against
the wall. I had to call my brother to tell him about the accident. I imagined my brother would be
angry because I hadn`t asked for his permission, but the reality was exactly the opposite: my
brother was concerned and not angry at all. He told me how to repair the situation and I
promised I would never ever take his car without permission anymore.

Read the passage below and answer the question!


Drug users are actually ill people who need to be helped. Rehabilitation is one of the main things
that they should get. Instead of punishing and stacking them in prisons which are getting full, the
government should provide rehabilitation for them.

Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the drugs.
Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out of a trap, which they might
accidentally step on. They then, can start a normal life again. On the other hand, if we only arrest
drug users and send them to jail, it does not solve the problem because the drug users will still be
addicts unless being properly treated. Jails will be filled up with drug users. Moreover, the users will
still be users after released from prison. They, then, will be arrested again.

Providing rehabilitating programs for drug users and forcing them to participate on the programs
is better than only arresting them and doing nothing on their illness. Moreover, the prison will
not be so full and packed up with users. Only drug dealers, traffickers, and wholesalers should be
imprisoned instead.

The World Wide Web, the WWW or the Web refers to an information space where documents and
other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), interlinked by hypertext
links, and can be accessed via the Internet. It was invented by the English scientist Tim Berners-Lee
in 1989. After doing his A Levels at Emanuel School, he went to Queen’s College, Oxford University,
where he received a first-class degree in physics. He wrote the first web browser computer
program in 1990. The World Wide Web has been central to the development of the Information
Age and is the primary tool billions of people use to interact on the Internet.

Web pages are primarily text documents formatted and annotated with Hypertext Markup
Language (HTML). In addition to formatted text, web pages may contain images, video, audio, and
software components that are rendered in the user`s web browser as coherent pages of
multimedia content. Embedded hyperlinks permit users to navigate between web pages. Multiple
web pages with a common domain name make up a website. Website content can largely be
provided by the publisher or by users who contribute content online.

Recently, many people have criticized today`s misuse of the web. The inventor of the World Wide
Web, Tim Berners-Lee himself has warned of the dangers of the Internet. According to him, the web
has become a tool in the hand of the powerful to get what they want. For example, he warns that fake
news is disseminated not only to generate a lot of money but also to attempt to manipulate people`s
opinion . Another worry was the gross invasion of privacy. Tim Berners-Lee is also concerned about
governments` misuse of the Internet to collect personal data to manipulate or oppress people.

Donating to charity is a major mood-booster. The knowledge that you’re helping others is hugely
empowering and, in turn, can make you feel happier and more fulfilled. Research has identified a
link between making a donation to charity and increased activity in the area of the brain that
registers pleasure - proving that as the old adage goes, it really is far better to give than to receive.

Having the power to improve the lives of others is, to many people, a privilege, and one that comes
with its own sense of obligation. Acting on these powerful feelings of responsibility is a great way
to reinforce our own personal values and feel like we’re living in a way that is true to our own
ethical beliefs.

Sharing the experience of donating to charity with your children shows them from a young age
that they can make positive changes in the world. Children naturally love to help others, so
nurturing their innate generosity is likely to mean that they grow up with a greater appreciation of
what they have, and will carry on supporting charity in years to come.

and could even bring about a family-wide effort to back a charity or charities that have special

Tom Thumb

Once, a farmer and his wife had their first child after many years of marriage. The boy was as
small as his father`s thumb. The queen of fairies came and named him Tom Thumb.

One day, while Tom`s mother was making pudding, Tom, who was playing nearby, slipped inside
the bowl and was drowned in the batter. He started kicking and thrashing to save himself. The
movement in the pudding scared his mother, who was unable to see Tom inside. She gave the
batter away to a beggar, who later discovered little Tom inside. Tom came back from the beggar`s
house and told his parents all that had happened and his mother felt very sorry for what she had
done.

A few days later, a raven picked up little Tom and dropped him in the sea. A magnificent fish
swallowed him. After a while, some fishermen caught the fish and gave it to King Arthur`s servants.
When the servants cut the fish, they were surprised to see Tom inside and presented him to King
Arthur. The king was delighted and kept Tom who entertained everyone with his funny tricks. Later,
Tom was knighted and became Sir Thomas Thumb.

One day, the queen of fairies took Tom to fairyland but by the time he returned, King Arthur and
all his knights had died. Tom stayed with the new king in his palace and continued to entertain
everyone with his tricks for a long time to come.

Read the passage below and answer the questions!

Sometimes when I pass some places in Jakarta, I often see piles of trash on the sides of streets or
even on the bank of rivers. This view is annoying. It makes our city look ugly and very dirty. If we
walk near the pile of trash, we can 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, some women wash clothes, fruits, and vegetables in the river contaminated by trash. This is
terrible. I think they don`t realize the danger because they don`t have sufficient knowledge about
healthy living. In my opinion, the government must make a regulation that prohibits people from
building houses near the trash disposal (dump site). Also, there should be special officers, like
police officers, who watch and catch people who litter the ground or the rivers.

Moreover, if a big fine doesn`t make them stop dropping litter carelessly, the government should
put them in jail as a penalty. Finally, I think the efforts to keep our environment clean and tidy need
hard work from both the citizens and the government.

Read the passage below and answer the questions!

Check the bottom of the bottle. You will see a number between 1 and 7. If your bottle can`t be
recycled by your local recycling center, try reusing it or turning it into a craft project.
Take the cap off. Some recycling centers won`t accept bottle caps. If this is the case, you can either
discard it, find a place that does accept bottle caps, or turn the bottle cap into a craft project.
Rinse the bottle with water. Fill the bottle partway with water and put the cap on. Shake the
bottle to slosh the water around. Open the bottle again and pour the water out. If the bottle is still
dirty inside, you may need to do this a second or third time. The bottle doesn`t need to be
perfectly clean, but there should be no residue inside it.
If this is a water bottle, then you can skip this step.
If your recycling center accepts bottle caps, then put the cap back on the bottle
Remove the label and plastic seal, if necessary. Some places don`t care if there is a label or
plastic seal on the bottle, while others do care (especially if they are buying the bottles back based
on weight). If you plan on reusing the bottle for a craft project, you may want to remove the label
as well for a cleaner finish.

Repeat the process for the other bottles. It is usually a good idea to recycle several bottles all at
once, especially if you are planning on taking them to a recycling center. This will save you a few
trips.

Javan Hawk Eagle

Javan Hawk Eagles are medium-sized eagles that are endemic to the island of Java in Indonesia.
They are currently endangered, due to habitat destruction, illegal poaching, and capture for the pet
trade.

They have a dark brown back and chestnut coloring along the sides of the head and the nape. The
throat is cream-colored with a dark stripe. The wings are dark brown, while the long tail is gray-
brown with four black bands.

As their name indicates, they are endemic to the island of Java. Limited to remaining patches of
forest, they are scarce within their range. There are an estimated 600 to 900 individuals over 14,500
km2. They often soar above the treetops when the weather is clear. They usually occur from 500 to
1,000 meters above sea level.

They eat small mammals, birds, snakes, and lizards. Mammals are their preferred prey, which
includes tree shrews, squirrels, bats, rats, and other rodents. They usually hunt from a perch, but
have been observed swooping down to catch prey on a tree or on the ground.

The breeding season is from May to August. The nest is placed in a large tree in undisturbed forest.
One egg is laid and incubated for 47 to 48 days. Pairs breed every two years since juveniles may
remain close to the nest for a year after they fledge.

Read the passage below and answer the questions!


A lack of understanding of the cultural norms and practices of our business acquaintances can
result in unfair judgements, misunderstandings and breakdowns in communication. Here are three
basic areas of differences in the business etiquette around the world that could help stand you in
good stead when you next find yourself working with someone from a different culture.

Many Continental Europeans and Latin Americans prefer to be addressed with a title, for example
Mr or Ms and their surname when meeting someone in a business context for the first time,
Americans, and increasingly the British, now tend to prefer using their first names. The best thing
to do is to listen and observe how your conversation partner addresses you and, if you are still
unsure, do not be afraid to ask them how they would like to be addressed.

In a piece of research done on smiles across cultures, the researchers found that smiling individuals
were considered more intelligent than non-smiling people in countries such as Germany,
Switzerland, China and Malaysia. However, in countries like Russia, Japan, South Korea and Iran,
pictures of smiling faces were rated as less intelligent than the non-smiling ones. Meanwhile, in
countries like India, Argentina and the Maldives, smiling was associated with dishonesty. Yet in
countries like the United States, Australia and Britain, smiling is often interpreted as a sign of
openness, friendship and respect, and is frequently used to break the ice.

An American or British person might be looking their client in the eye to show that they are paying
full attention to what is being said, but if that client is from Japan or Korea, they might find the
direct eye contact awkward or even disrespectful. In parts of South America and Africa, prolonged
eye contact could also be seen as challenging authority. In the Middle East, eye contact across
genders is considered inappropriate, although eye contact within a gender could signify honesty
and truthfulness.

rather than something that we use to pigeonhole the individuals of an entire nation.

Beggars have become a big problem to us today. They come as a street musician, street boys,
“sick” people, “mosque-building-donation” collectors, “lost” people, or just beggars. As their
number is getting bigger, the municipal government feels the need to set a regulation to ban
beggars. Many people support this.

They say that begging makes people lazy and bad survivors. They are like parasites. Criminals take
advantage of their existence. Car drivers are strong-armed in crossroads, motorbikes are seized,
trucks are hijacked, etc. A man in a rural area takes them to the city with his truck in the morning
8

and pick them up in the afternoon. They have made an agreement to share what they get. Some
children are reported to have been kidnapped not for ransom. They are forced to be beggars.

Some people, however, say that we must help beggars. They become beggars because they have
no choice. What they get every day is only enough for buying food. Being a beggar is better than
being a thief or a robber. So it is a high time to apply their religious teaching to care for others. In
addition, what they do is to help the government to check crime-rates.

Despite the controversy of their existence, beggars continue to color the life of urban people.

The Jakarta-based Human Rights Working Group (HRWG) hopes the upcoming meeting between
the Indonesian government and a United Nations committee on migrant workers will provide
momentum for the country to revise its regulations on the protection of migrant workers’ rights.

HRWG program manager Daniel Awigra said the committee may push countries, including
Indonesia, to align their laws with universal standards, as cited in the International Convention on
the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families.

"In our report submitted to the committee, we urge the committee to recommend that the
government [heed] the convention in the revision of the 2004 Law on the Protection of Indonesian
Migrant Workers," Daniel said in a statement on Thursday.

He added that the revision had been deliberated at the House of Representatives. The latest draft,
however, still favored private recruitment agencies and lacked tight standards in the recruitment
process, he said.

The UN committee will hold a dialogue for the first time with Indonesia from Sep. 4 to 6 in Geneva,
Switzerland, regarding the government’s progress in implementing the multilateral convention on
migrant worker protection. In April, Indonesia sent an initial report to the committee as a requirement
for countries that have ratified the convention. (kuk/bbs)

Something Feels Different.
By Just Keep Falling

Something felt different. I explained it to my mom after I got out of the pool that summer. She said
it was just the water and we decided to ignore it. But after two weeks, the feeling was still there. It
felt tingly and it made walking feel strange. At least, that`s how my entire left side felt.

I was 11 when all this happened. When we went to the doctors, they didn`t know what was wrong.
They did so many tests and it took so long for the tests and the diagnosis. At first, the doctors said
it was a disease called ADEM. They gave me steroids and sent me off.

Two years later, two months before my birthday, it returned. When it came back, everyone was
appalled. They didn`t know what else could possibly be wrong with a young girl like me. When they
did more tests, they found out that I had a disease called MS. I had to get daily shots. I got them
on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Through this, my best friends showed their true colours. They came to see me. I got cards and
flowers sent to me. They prayed for me at games and claimed that they had won them for me. One
day, one of my best friends told me that she had written about me. She said she wanted to give
me a healthy body. I wanted to cry.

Yes, I still have to get shots on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but I am learning to live with it.
Yes, they do leave unsightly red marks, sometimes even bruises, but I`m fine with those as well.
Yes, I may sometimes need to take a leave off school and lose touch with all that`s happening
there, but I`ve discovered that I can do without the drama. All that`s important is that I know that
my friends and family will always be there for me.

I am so lucky to have them.

Read the passage below and answer the question!


TORNADOS AND HURRICANES

Hurricanes and tornadoes are both stormy atmospheric systems that have the potential to cause
destruction. They are caused by instability in atmospheric conditions. Hurricanes are found near
the tropical zone, over warm waters in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. Tornadoes have been
spotted in all continents except Antarctica. A large number have been seen in the United States.
5

A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone with sustained winds that exceed 74 mph and
accompanied by rain, thunder and lightning. It is a rotating column of air ranging in width from a
few yards to more than a mile and whirling at destructively high speeds range from 40 mph to
110 mph. In extreme cases, tornadoes have also reached a speed of 300 mph. Hurricanes develop
over ocean water warmer than 26.5 oC. Thus, hurricanes weaken rapidly over land and over cold
waters which cannot provide enough heat or moisture to sustain this storm.

Tornadoes are produced in regions of large temperature gradient. Therefore, tornadoes typically
occur over land where the sun`s heat can produce the required temperature gradient while tropical
cyclones are an oceanic phenomenon. Hurricanes lose momentum after land fall because the
required moisture is not available on land.

Hurricanes and Tornadoes turn clockwise in the Southern hemisphere and counter clockwise in the
northern hemisphere.

Read the passage below and answer the question!


Home schooling is an education system which provides child`s main education programme at home. Home
schooling takes the place of full-time school attendance and it usually meets state requirements for
compulsory education. Although home schooling could achieve the objectives of compulsory education,
there are some points that should be noticed from the home schooling.

First, the idea of taking our children`s education on home schooling can be a bit intimidating. Since our
country is so large and the people are from so many different kinds of backgrounds, students need some
kind of social glue to make them stick together and to give them a sense of unity in spite of all the
differences. They will not get such a unity when they are in home schooling. They will get the sense of unity
when they are in the compulsory public school since it is the easiest and best place to make this glue.

Then, the home schooling may not be able to prepare children to fit into the mass society, which means,
among other things, believing what most people believe and liking what most people like. Or it may not be
able to help children to find a set of values with which they could resist and reject at least many of the
values of the mass society.

Recognizing the lack of home schooling in the case of children`s socialization opportunity, we should afford
them abundant social opportunities. We can have active home school support groups. We can hold
ongoing park days, meetings at the zoo, the science museum, book clubs, history clubs, language clubs,
home school scouting troops and many more options to provide them opportunities to socialize with
others.
Adapted from: http://www.idebate.org

17. What does the text primary talk about?


A. The negative impacts of home schooling.
B. The sense of unity that the children get from public schools.
C. The missing point of home schooling on the society`s set of values.
D. Alternative options to provide children with opportunities to socialize.
E. The ways of home schooling achieve the objectives of compulsory education.

18. What should we afford in providing children’s socialization opportunity?


A. Hold ongoing park days.
B. Have school scouting troops.
C. Have active school support groups.
D. Hold speech contest at the language clubs.
E. Hold poetry competition at the book clubs.

19. What might be the impact of the text on the readers?


A. The readers will object to the existence of home-schooling system.
B. The readers do not trust home schooling as an alternative schooling.
C. The readers will send their children only to the compulsory public schools.
D. The readers know how to overcome the problems concerning with home schooling.
E. The readers will take their children to places like parks, zoos, museums and clubs.
