Dear Bagus,
How's everything with you? I'm good, Last week I went to Medan for business. I'm so sorry I could not stop by your house because it
was only a short visit. I only stayed for one night. My colleague picked me up from the airport. Then, we continued our journey to
the hotel. It was a very hot day that made me drinking two bottles of water at once. Then, I had a meeting with my prominent client
at night.
I browsed the city in the following day before I left. Medan is a great city.
The people are polite and the foods are awesome, especially sup sumsum sapi. T also bought teri bajak, Sidikalang coffee, durian
pancakes, Sihobuk peanuts, and lemang as souvenirs.
That's for now. Please pass my
greetings to your lovely family. Write me soon,
Your pal,
Salsabilla

Plastic waste is fast becoming a widely recognized problem. While it is an important material for our economy, providing multiple
benefits to modern-day living, plastic can take thousands of years to biodegrade. It takes up valuable space in landfill sites and is
polluting the natural environment, having a significant impact on our oceans.

Plastic is everywhere. It is strong, light, cheap, and very versatile. The majority of plastic waste does not get reused or recycled and
experts believe that 506 of plastic is single-use, meaning it is used once before being discarded. Single-use plastic includes plastic
water bottles, plastic packaging, plastic grocery bags, etc.

While getting rid of plastic waste is the primary environmental problem, the production process is a leading cause of carbon
emissions contributing to global warming. It takes alot of energy and resources to make plastic, with more than 906 being produced
from fossil fuel resources. Experts believe that if current trends continue, in 30 years 206 of global oil consumption and 154 of
global carbon emissions will be associated with plastic production. Creating bottled water takes 2000 times the energy than it does
to produce tap water.

Creating a 'circular economy' is based on the notion of maintaining the value of products, materials, and resources within the
economy for as long as possible, conseguently minimizing the generation of waste that is produced. This concept helps to shape an
essential part of the EU's plans to develop a sustainable and more resource-efficient economy, with plastics forming one of the top
five priority areas to be addressed.

What do you think about recycling plastic?

a. It is efficient, but there is no technology available to recycle plastic waste.

b. It is not efficient since the government prohibits recycling plastic waste.

c. It is not efficient because it takes huge amount of energy, higher than producing it.
d. It depends on the method that we use to recycle.

e. It is efficient and good for our environment.

Why do Cell Phones Endanger Our Health and Lives?

We carry our smartphone wherever we go. We have it at school, work, and while out shopping and running errands. Some people
even carry their cell phones into the bathroom (not recommended! Cell phones harbor viruses and bacteria like E. coli that can
make us sick. So, we have to clean it freguentily, at least once daily to remove dirt, dust, and germs. We can use alcohol-based
wipes that are safe to use on electronics and wipe down our smartphone.

What will happen if we use our phones too often? We must understand that it harms our health. Looking down at your smartphone
while texting and browsing strains neck muscles and may lead to knots or spasms. It may even lead to nerve pain that radiates to
the back, shoulders, or down the arms. Let's use our time more effectively.

Shorter wavelength blue light that is emitted by cell phones, lights, and computer, tablet, and TV screens causes damaging health
effects. Exposure to this wavelength of light disrupts circadian rhythms. Exposure to blue light after the sun goes down interferes
with sleep. Blue light may contribute to heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and other health conditions. Let's minimize our exposure
to unnecessary light, including smartphone screens, after dark.

Do you know why cell phones endanger our lives? Look around you. You may notice many people read messages or text other while
walking or driving. It is very dangerous to text while driving. Texting while driving distracts you from what's happening on the road.
It just takes a few seconds of inattention to lead to an accident. In 2015, nearly 3,500 people were killed and approximately 391,000
people were injured in car accidents involving distracted drivers. Some states have laws that ban cell phone use while driving. Other
states reguire hands-free use of cell phones while driving.Why do Cell Phones Endanger Our Health and Lives?

Before You Go (by Lewis Capaldi)

I fell by the wayside like everyone else

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you
But I was just kidding myself
Our every moment, I start to replace
"Cause now that they're gone
All I hear were the words that I needed to say When you hurt under the surface Like troubled water running cold Well, time can heal
but this won't

So, before you go

Was there something I could've said to make your heartbeat better?
If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather So, before you go
Was there something I could've said to make it all stop hurting? It kills me how your mind could make you feel so worthless

So, before you go

Was never the right time whenever you called
Went hittle by little by little until there was nothing atall
Our every moment, I start to replay
But all I can think about is seeing that look on your face

Why do Cell Phones Endanger Our Health and Lives?

We carry our smartphone wherever we go. We have it at school, work, and while out shopping and running errands. Some people
even carry their cell phones into the bathroom (not recommended! Cell phones harbor viruses and bacteria like E. coli that can
make us sick. So, we have to clean it freguentily, at least once daily to remove dirt, dust, and germs. We can use alcohol-based
wipes that are safe to use on electronics and wipe down our smartphone.

What will happen if we use our phones too often? We must understand that it harms our health. Looking down at your smartphone
while texting and browsing strains neck muscles and may lead to knots or spasms. It may even lead to nerve pain that radiates to
the back, shoulders, or down the arms. Let's use our time more effectively.

Shorter wavelength blue light that is emitted by cell phones, lights, and computer, tablet, and TV screens causes damaging health
effects. Exposure to this wavelength of light disrupts circadian rhythms. Exposure to blue light after the sun goes down interferes
with sleep. Blue light may contribute to heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and other health conditions. Let's minimize our exposure
to unnecessary light, including smartphone screens, after dark.

Do you know why cell phones endanger our lives? Look around you. You may notice many people read messages or text other while
walking or driving. It is very dangerous to text while driving. Texting while driving distracts you from what's happening on the road.
It just takes a few seconds of inattention to lead to an accident. In 2015, nearly 3,500 people were killed and approximately 391,000
people were injured in car accidents involving distracted drivers. Some states have laws that ban cell phone use while driving. Other
states reguire hands-free use of cell phones while driving.

What is the topic of the text?

a. Risks caused by cell phones

b. The definition of a cell phone

c. Steps to use cell phones accordingly

d. The reasons why people need cell phones
