Dear Betty,

I’m writing to you concerning of my last day in Yogyakarta. I just got back from Borobudur, the
wonderful temple I’ve ever seen. The weather is fine. We are now staying in a hotel. It’s not far
from Malioboro. We are treated well here. It has many excellent staff who serve the customers.

We plan to go around Malioboro after the children take a short nap. We want to enjoy having
“lesehan” there. It is a kind of restaurant but we sit on the ground.

Many kinds of local handicraft are sold along Malioboro streets. Both domestic and foreign
tourist are interested in them. I want to buy some as souvenir.
Don’t worry, I’ll also buy you the most interesting one.
Love
Dara

How a Geyser Forms
A geyser field is usually located in an area where there has been recent volcanic activity. There
can be hundreds of geysers in a geyser field. Their positions depend on the system of channels
underground.

Cold surface water seeps underground. It flows through cracks in nonporous rock (rock that does
not soak up water) and collects in channels of porous rock (rock that soaks up water). The water
is heated by hot rock, and it begins to expand and boil. Water at the top boils off or spills over.
This reduces the pressure and causes deeper water to boil much more violently, creating jets of
steam and fountains of hot water.

15. Tense that are used in the text above is .....

a. past tense
b. future tense

d. present tense

Answer: D
