People should change their lifestyles in order to support our local farmers. There are
several ways we can do that. One of them is buying ad consuming fresh local groceries
as much as possible. T includes local vegetables, fruits, bread, etc.

The fruits and vegetables that we buy from a farmer market are the freshest and tastiest
ever. They are allowed ripen fully in the field and sold directly to us.

A lot of foods found in supermarkets are highly processed and grown using
pesticides and genetic modification. Many of them are irradiated or gassed in transit
which may bring negative effects on human health. However, local groceries are
minimally processed and our farmers grow nutritious products using sustainable farming
techniques.

Buying local groceries can also protect our environment. a few groceries are
distributed by areas with large amount of fuel that contributes to pollution and create
garbage from the packaging. Local groceries don’t need much transportation to get the
market, so they require less time and fuel to distribute.

So, from now on we should consume fresh local groceries to support our local
farmers because they contain less pesticide, are not genetically modified, and also help
reduce pollution.
6. What is the purpose of the text?

A. to persuade people to support local farmers by consuming fresh local groceries

B. to persuade people not to buy food from supermarket too often

C. to encourage people to plant their own vegetables

D. to explain how people can start living a healthy life

Mayura Park is the remains of the once existing Karang Asem Kingdom of Bali.
In the middle of a large pond is a structure called Balai Kambang, which at the time
functioned a legal court of justice as well as a half for important meetings. Curiously, its
architecture shows both Hindu as well as Islamic influences, whereas around that place
statues made of stone are found in a Moslem hajji form.

Mayura and Bale Kambang was built in 1743 by Balinese Hindu’s Dynasty;

Dear Sir or Madam,

Yesterday I moved to a house rented from your agency in Brighton Boulevard. To my

surprise, I found the house is not well maintained.

The master bedroom has no key. The air conditioner does not work. How could I use my
washing machine if the outlet is missing? The worst of all is that the main faucet has
broken that no water can flow. This makes me unable to wash, to cook and to do any other
things.

I had told Mr. David, one of your employees, about my problems but I got no response
from him. I also called your secretary Miss. Brown but again, there was no response.

I would appreciate if you send me a mechanic to have those problems fixed immediately.
Your faithfully

We Should Change the Payment System

Nowadays, the system of payment gradually changes. Most people use debit cards
instead of cash to make payment. They think it is more effective, efficient, easier, and
simpler. However, there are still arguments about the use of debit cards as a method of
payment.
Well, if you use the card, you will say that the card is so practical. You don’t need to
count how much you should pay. When paying in cash, people are afraid of making
mistakes in counting the banknote for both the payment and the change. With debit cards
the mistakes is made smaller.
Moreover, you should know that the debit cards are safer than money. Suppose you
bring a lot of money when travelling. If it is lost or stolen, you will be left with nothing
in your hands. However, if you bring a debit card, you can just phone the bank which
issues the card to block it.
On the other hand, people who disagree on the use of debit card will say that its use
is so limited. When you buy something in a traditional market, or a vendor, for example,
can you pay using a credit card? Of course not.
Another thing is that, if you want to use the card, you should make a purchase at
minimum amount. If you make less than the minimum transaction, you cannot make use
of the card.
For those reasons we think that credit cards are not fully effective as a means of
payment. We should trace the incoming and ongoing money in our account. Besides, we
have to control our habit of buying first, paying later habit. Otherwise, without being
realized we are charged a lot. You don’t have to use credit cards if not necessary.

SNAKES
Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizards (the
scaled group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but long time ago they had claws to help them slither along. Snakes are
not slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin is hard and glossy
to reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.
Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes are cold-
blooded, they need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in trees, some live-in water, but
most live in the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and in old logs.
A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizards, and mice and other snakes. The Anaconda can
eat small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs. Some snakes
are protected by scaring their enemies away like the Cobra. The flying snakes glide away from
danger. Their ribs spread apart and the skin stretches out. Its technique is just like the sugar gliders.
24. Paragraph four mainly talks about….
A. the snakes’ diet
B. the snakes’ behavior
C. the snakes’ types
D. the snakes’ habitat
E. the snakes’ protection

25. Since the snakes are cold-blooded, they….

A. like sucking the cool blood
B. avoid sun-bathing to their skins
C. never sun-bathe in the warm weather
D. live on the ground in deserted burrows
E. require the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies

A. They can fly away from danger.
B. They use their fangs for protection.
C. They can eat small crocodile.

A room air-conditioner is typically installed on a window and built to serve a single,

medium size room. Air conditioners of this type are divided in two by a slim metal operator,
such that one half projects from the room.
The portion is inside the room houses the evaporator and the cooling coils. A small fan
takes in air from the room, which first passes through a filter, and is then circulated through the
cooling coils. The cooled air is finally blown into the room by the fan.
Since cool air does not hold as much moisture as warm air, some of the water vapor in the
warm air condenses against the cooling coils during intake forming water droplets. This water
either drops into a pan at the bottom of the air conditioner or is disposed of by means of a small
pipe.
The air-conditioner monitors the ambient temperature in the room using a thermostat.
When the temperature of the room reaches the same level, or drops lower than the temperature
set on the thermostat, the cooling coils are disabled, leaving only the fan in operation. Once the
ambient room temperature exceeds the set thermostat, the cooling coils are once again engaged.

People generally use drugs for positive reasons but there are some people who use drugs
for recreation. Recreational drugs, eventhough illegal in most countries, are commonly found in
many places devoted to entertainment such as discotheques or pubs. Some people use drugs such as
marijuana and cocaine for relaxation, but recreational drugs use can lead to serious drugs problems.
Other people use drugs for different purposes. Some athletes, for example, consciously
take drugs commonly known as steroids to boost their performance. Generally, this is not a crime,
but the use of such drugs can disqualify athletes. World-renowned Canadian sprinter, Ben
Johnson, was accused of taking drugs during the Olympics. This charge was proven by means of a
blood test administered after the games. There are many other sports figures who have taken drugs for
similar purposes. Can you name athletes you know who have taken drugs?
People have different views concerning the benefits of recreational drug use. What one
person may think is wrong about the use of certain drugs may be considered acceptable to
another.

2012 Film Review. 2012 is Rpland Emmerich’s film which uses the Mayan Calender and other
end-of days prophecies for their doomsday scenario. It imagines the world coming to an end in
2012. 2012 film brings off a series of wonders. The movie hits its peak early on. It stars when
Cusack drives a limo through the streets of Los Angeles as freeway and skyscrapers crumble all
around him from the shock of a 10.5 earthquake. The preposterous flying sequence is equally
thrilling. The climax occurs aboard the giant ark. When an equipment malfunction almost
threatens the entire mission, unfortunately, the crucial sequence is not filmed or edited with the
requisite clarity. In 2012 film, Emmerich leaves us befuddled as to exactly what is happening to
whom. However, Emmerich’2012 deserves credit for offbeat casting. Cusack supplies his
trademark hangdog charm. McCarthy has perhaps his best role ever as Peet’s cocky. Danny
Glover lends dignity to the role of the tormented president. Chiwetel Ejiofor, as the chief
scientist, brings a moving sense of anguish to a stock role. Platt has fun playing the villain of the
piece, and Woody Harrelson also chews the scenery as a bug-eyed radio prophet trying to warn
his listeners about Armageddon.

36. Who is the writer of 2012’s film?

A. Adam Lambert
B. Danny Glover
C. Cusack
D. Roland Emmerich
E. Nick Everhart

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom. The king there only had one leg and one eye,
but he was very intelligent and kind.
One day the king was walking through the palace hallway and saw the portraits of his
ancestors. He thought that one that one day his children will walk in the same hallway and
remember all the ancestors through these portraits.
However, the king did not have his portrait painted use to his physical disabilities, he wasn’t sure
how his painting would turn out. So he invited many famous painters from his and other
kingdoms to the court.
All of the painters began to think that the king only has leg and one eye. How can his
picture be made very beautiful? It is not possible and if the picture does not turn out to look
beautiful then the king will get angry and punish them. So one by one, all started to make
excuses and politely declined to make a painting of the king.
But suddenly one painter raised his hand and said that he will make a very beautiful
portrait of the king and the king will surely like it. Finally, after taking a long time, he said that
the portrait was ready! When the painter presented the portrait, everyone in the court,
including the king, left stunned.
The painter made a portrait in which the king was sitting on the horse, on the one-leg side,
holding his bow and aiming the arrow with his one eye closed. The king was very pleased to see
that the printer has made a beautiful portrait. The king gave the painter a great reward.
