The Twin StarsIn front of the little house was a pine tree and every night at

the time when the children went to bed, a bright star appearedover the top of the tree and looked in through the window. Thechildren were brother and sister. They were twins, and so theyalways had each other to play with.

“Now go to sleep,” the mother would say when she hadkissed them goodnight, but it was hard to go to sleep when sucha beautiful, radiant thing was shining in through the window ofthe little house.

“What do you suppose is in the star?” asked the sister.“I think there are daisies, honey, violets, butterflies and blue

birds,” answered the brother.“I think there are roses, robins, berries and hummingbirds,”

said the sister.“There must be trees and grass too and I am sure there are

pearls and diamonds.”“I can almost see them now,” declared the sister. “I wish we

could really see them. Tomorrow let us go and find the star.”When morning came, the star was gone, but they said, “It

was just behind the pine-tree, and so it must be on the bluemountain.”

The blue mountain was a long way off but it looked near.The twins thought they could walk to it in an hour. They walkedall day long. They went through the lonely woods, crossedbrooks, climbed hills and still could not find the radiant star thathad looked in through their window. The hour had come whentheir mother always put them to bed and kissed them and saidgoodnight, but now they had no mother, no goodnight kiss andno bed. They were tired and sleepy. They heard strange soundsin the forest and they were frightened. “I am so tired,” the sisterwhispered. “I am afraid a bear will come. I wish we could see thestar.”

The sky had grown dark and a star could be seen here andthere, but it was not their star. They went on till they could go nofarther. “We will lie down on the grass,” said the brother, “andcover ourselves up with leaves and go to sleep.”

Tired as they were, they did not have time to go to sleepbefore they heard a bear calling “Ugh! Ugh!” in the woods. Theysprang up and ran out of the woods. Just before they came tothe bottom of the hill, they saw right in front of them a beautifullittle lake. They were not frightened anymore, for there in thewater was something radiant and shining. “It is our own star,”said them, “and it has come down to us.”

They never thought of looking up into the sky over theirheads. It was enough for them that the star was in the water andso near them. But was it calling them? They thought so. “Come,”cried the brother, “take my hand, and we will go to the star.”

Then the spirit of the skies lifted them up gently and carriedthem away on a beautiful cloud.


The father and mother sat alone in the little house oneevening, looking sadly out of the window through which the twinshad looked. “There is the star that they loved,” the mother said.“I have often listened to them while they talked of it. It is risingover the pine-tree in front of the house.”

They sat and watched the star. It was brighter and moreradiant than ever and in it the father and mother saw the faces oftheir lost children. “Oh, take us too, good spirit of the skies!” theycried. The spirit heard them. When the next evening came, closebeside the star there was another star. In that were the fatherand mother. At last the parents and children were all very happyto be together again.Adopted from: http://www.sacred-texts.com/etc/bnm/bnm55.htm (JanuaryL 16, 2013)

On the day of the contest, the participants came. Some ofthem had fine chariots. Some had fine clothing, fine hairdos orgreat food. Some young men came in their track suits and ranalong the highway. People traveled the highway all day, but eachone, upon arrival at the end, complained to the king that therewas a large pile of rocks and debris left on the road at one spotand that this got in their way and hindered their travel.

At the end of the day, a lone traveler crossed the finish linewarily and walked over to the king. He was tired and dirty but headdressed the king with great respect and handed him a bag ofgold.

known such wealth.”“Oh yes,” said the king, “you’ve earned this gold, for you

won my contest. He who travels the road best is he who makesthe road smoother for others to follow.”Adopted from: http://varietyreading.carlsguides.com/forwards/kinghighway.php (March24, 2012)

The other children also jumped to attention. When John hadan idea, it was sure to be a good one.

“I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know the bigbox of corn Uncle Sam sent us for popping? Well, we can pop it

and put it into paper bags and Tom can take it round the housesto sell.”

When Mrs. Walter heard John’s idea, she too thought it wasa good one.

Very soon the children were busy popping the corn, whiletheir mother went out to buy the paper bags. When she cameback, she brought Tom with her.

In a short time, he started out on his new business andmuch sooner than could be expected, returned with an emptybasket.

Tucked into one of his mittens were two dollars. He hadnever earned so much money before in his life. When he foundthat it was all to be his, he was so delighted he could hardlyspeak, but his bright smiling face spoke for him.

After he had run home to take the money to his mother,John said, “We have enough corn left to send Tom out manymore times. May we do it again?”

“Yes,” said Mrs. Walter, “you may send him every Saturdaymorning if you pop the corn for him. John, will you agree to takecharge of the work?”

“Indeed I will,” replied John, and he kept his word. For manyweeks, every Saturday morning, no matter what plan was onfoot, no matter how good the coasting or skating, he ensuredthat all the corn was popped, the paper bags filled and arrangedin the basket before Tom arrived.

People began to watch for the “little pop-corn boy” andevery week he had at least a half dollar to take home and oftenmore. All this was because of John’s bright idea, and the way hecarried it out.Adapted from: http://www.rickwalton.com/folktale/cinder06.htm (March 26, 2010)

Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru dan jawaban:Cars cannot run without gasoline. Burning gasoline provides

the energy needed for the car to move, but how does thathappen? The engine converts the gasoline’s potential energy into(1) movement. It does this in several steps.1. Gasoline mixed with air is (2) pumped into a cylinder, which

is fitted with a piston that can move up and down inside.2. The piston moves up and (3) squeezes the fuel, making it

heat up.3. An electric spark makes hot fuel react with oxygen in the air

and explode. The reaction produces several gases, whichare very hot- the gasoline’s potential energy has become(4) heat energy. You know, hot gases (5) expand veryquickly and the expanding gases push on the piston, forcingit to (6) move down. The heat energy has now beenconverted to movement, or kinetic energy. The up and downmovement of the piston is converted (7) by gears to thespinning motion of the car’s wheels.

4. Finally, the piston rises again and (8) pushes out the usedgases ready to repeat the process.

Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru:Nitrogen makes up 78 percent of air, but it cannot be used

by animals or plants while it is a gas. Nitrogen in the air ischanged by lightning into nitrogen dioxide. It combines with dropsof rain to fall to the ground as nitric acid. Nitrogen is alsoconverted into usable compounds by nitrogen-fixing bacteria andplants such as lichen and algae. They change it into chemicalscalled nitrates. The nitrates are a form of nitrogen that can betaken up by the roots of plants. The plants are then eaten byanimals in turn. Some nitrogen is passed out in manure. Thismanure and animal remains then help feed the soil.

A. Retell the following texts using your own words.Do it in turns.

Contoh jawaban:1. You must be familiar with the term ‘photosynthesis’.

Photosynthesis is a process of making sugars in plantswhich uses energy from sunlight. Well, the process takesplace in the chloroplasts, the structures inside the tightlypacked palisade cells in the leaves of a plant. You know, inthe chloroplasts there is a green pigment called chlorophyll.


It is the chlorophyll which traps the sun’s energy. Later theplant uses the energy to make molecules of glucose fromwater and carbon dioxide. I tell you that the glucoseprovides energy for the plant. In the process, oxygen isreleased as a by-product.

2. You know Arizona, don’t you? Yes, it’s one of the statesin the U.S. which people call Arid Zona. In Indonesian itmeans Daerah Gersang or Kering and is termed as sunburnstate. You know, it is so hot in Arizona that we can boil anegg on our legs. So, one can just imagine the temperature.

The heat in Arizona is dry until October. The hotcondition doesn’t last all through the year, as duringChristmas it becomes so cool that frost forms.

Let’s see why Arizona is so hot. It’s because theLaguna Mountains in California tend to block the coolmarine air that flow from the Pacific Ocean. The flow of air isinhibited to move eastwards to Yuma. These Mountains areknown to retain the heat. The weather pattern in places likeUtah, Nevada and Arizona have high pressures. These highair pressures make the air in Northes Arizona move ata latitude, in height. That’s why, Yuma in Arizona, situated ata higher altitude, experiences more heat and gets baked.

The level of precipitation is very low at this place due tothese Mountains. If any storms arise in the Pacific Oceanand move towards California, they move from west to east.The clouds that form, touch the Mountains and will beforcibly cooled and condensed further. The condensedclouds fall as rain on the Mountains. So, the clouds thatpass the Mountains don’t fall as rain in Arizona. TheSouthern part of Arizona is a desert and hence it is too hotin this region. In Phoenix, June seems to be very hot, withless humidity. People in Arizona experience monsoonstorms during summer. The summer in Arizona has higherhumidity levels, with wind and dust storms occurring duringthe season.

What Causes Air to Rise?

There are ways where air can be forced to rise, thuscausing water droplets to condense. We will look at each ofthese one by one.1. The air is heated from the ground. This occurs mainly in

the tropics, where the air in contact with the ground iswarmer than the air above, so it will rise. As a result,sometimes huge thunder-clouds (called cumulonimbusclouds) form and associated rainfall can be very heavy.This type of rainfall is called convection rain.

2. The air is forced to cross a mountain barrier. As itcrosses a mountain barrier, it is forced to rise. If themountains are sufficiently high and the air mass containsenough moisture, clouds will form and rain will fall on thewindward side (the side closest to where the air mass iscoming from). This rainfall is known as orographic rain,meaning “caused by the shape of the land”. The airmass, now drier and warmer, will continue to flow downthe other side of the mountains (the leeward side).

3. Air rises as it enters an area of low pressure. As air rises,other air must replace it which, in turn, also rises. This isa complex process. As the air rises, it moves ina spiral, but if enough air enters an area of low pressure,clouds will form and rain may fall.

Contoh jawaban:Good morning, everybody. I’m going to explain what causes

air to rise. There are ways in which the air can be forced to rise.This causes water droplets to condense. Let’s look at each ofthese one by one.

First, air is heated from the ground. This tends to occurmainly in the tropics. Here the air in contact with the ground iswarmer than the air above. This makes the air rise. Asa result, huge thunder-clouds (called cumulonimbus clouds)form and rainfall can be very heavy. This rainfall is calledconvection rain.

Second, the air is forced to cross a mountain barrier andconsequently, forced to rise. If the mountains are sufficientlyhigh and the air mass contains enough moisture, clouds willform. This makes rain fall on the windward side. This is theside closest to where the air mass is coming from. Thisrainfall is known as orographic rain, meaning, caused by theshape of the land. The air mass, now drier and warmer, willcontinue to flow down the other side of the mountains, theleeward side.

Third, air rises as it enters an area of low pressure. Asair rises, other air must replace it which, in turns, also rises. Infact, this is a complex process. As the air rises, it moves ina spiral, but if enough air enters an area of low pressure,clouds will form and rain may fall.

Why is Our Blood Red?

1. As well as red blood cells, our blood alsocontains white blood cells, which help to fight offdiseases. All heart cells and nutrients are transmitedin a pale yellow, thick liquid, called plasma. Othermaterials carried in the plasma, include a substancecalled fibrinogen, which helps the blood to clot whenwe suffer cuts.

3.

Adopted from: Anonymous, Tell Me Why?, London, Chancellor Press, 2010.

As well as transmitting oxygen and carbondioxide, blood also transmits nutrients to the cells,so that they can perform their functions and for cellrepair and growth. Waste products are carried backto the liver for removal.

Our blood is red because of haemoglobin,which is contained in our red blood cells (redcorpuscles). The function of these specialised cellsis to carry oxygen from our lungs to whereverneeded in the body. They are formed in our bonemarrow and the haemoglobin in them, which ismade of iron and protein, turn redder as it picks upoxygen. It loses this color as it deposits oxygen inother cells and picks up carbon dioxide to return tothe lungs, which is why some of the veins in ourhands and arms appear blue through our skin.

Contoh jawaban:How do Snakes Inject Their Venom?

A venomous snake has saliva glands which produce poisonfor its prey. This is called snake’s venom. Snake venom ispowerful enough to kill an elephant. About two hundredvenomous snakes out of 412 species can be considereddangerous to humans.

Two of these are African snakes called the boomslang andthe bird snake. Their fangs are at the rear of their mouths, greatlyenlarged and have grooves running down one side. Above thesefangs are openings that lead to the venom-producing gland.When a rear-fanged snake bites, venom drips down the groovesinto the bite made by the fangs. Cobras fangs are at the front ofthe mouth, one on each side of the upper jaw. A musclesurrounds the venom gland so that when the snake bites, themuscles press on the gland and force the venom down the fangsand through their tips. The spitting cobra can spray venom fromits fangs the way water is squirted from a toy gun.Adopted from: Anonymous, Tell Me How?, London, Chancellor Press, 2010.

Contoh jawaban:Ageing is a result of the gradual failure of body cells and

organs to replace and repair themselves. This is because there isa limit to the number of times each cell can divide. As body cellsbegin to near their limit, the rate at which they divide slows down.The new cells that are produced have defects, or do not carry outtheir usual task effectively. Organs may begin to fail, tissueschange in structure and chemical reactions that power the bodybecome less efficient. The blood supply to the brain may becomeineffective. The brain cells become starved of oxygen andnutrients, leading to forgetfulness. For most old people memoriesbring great pleasure. Strangely though, recent events may havebeen forgotten, old people quite often remember events that tookplace in their childhood.Adapted from: Anonymous, Tell Me How?, London, Chancellor Press, 2010.

B. Write an explanation text.Find references to support your writing.

Contoh jawaban:Why is Snow White?

Water in pure form is colorless. If there are any impuritiespresent, the color of water changes. Snow can also absorb thecolor of other objects. For example, in the case of glaciers deepinside an ice block, it appears blue in color. But, snow is slightlydifferent from ice. Snow is the collection of tiny ice crystals,

attached to one another. Ice crystals are also clear andcolorless, while accumulated crystals combine to formsnowflakes.

Snow is visible to us due to the presence of light. Snow fallsfrom the atmosphere and reaches ground. The ice crystals willenable light falling on them, to be reflected on the surface. Thereare multiple faces for crystals and, hence light also getsscattered. Visible light has various wavelengths of light that arevisualized by us. When light falls on any object, part of the lightwill be absorbed and the other part will be reflected. Thereflected part of light reaches our eyes and allows us recognizethe colors.

The light fallen on ice crystals, do not pass through thecrystals for long distances, but tend to change directions. Thelight is also reflected at an angle on the interior of the ice. Assnow exists as a collection of several snowflakes on the ground,the light that falls on them will not have a particular wavelengththat is reflected with regularity. So, most of the light that falls onthe snow will almost completely be reflected back. The light thatis reflected by the snow will remain white most of the time, as thetotal light and not any one wavelength is reflected back.Adopted from: http://www.knowswhy.com/why-is-snow-the-color-white/ (March 24, 2012)

As the left half of the brain predominates, the right half ofthe body is more skilled and better equipped. We read, write,speak and work with the left half of our brain.

Human body is made up of countless millions of cells.Food is needed to build up new cells and replace the wornout. However, the food we take must be changed intosubstances that can be carried in the blood to the placeswhere they are needed. This process is called digestion.

The first digestive process takes place in the mouth.The food we eat is broken up into small pieces by the actionof teeth, mixed with saliva containing digestive juices whichmoisten the food so it can be swallowed easily.

From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus–thefood passage–into the stomach. Here the food is mixed withthe juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for severalhours. Then, the food enters the small intestine. All the timethe muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing andmoving the food onwards.

In a few hours, the food changes into acids. The acidsare soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic branchprojection from the intestine walls) and passed intobloodstream.

Celsius. Some diseases make this temperature rise and this hightemperature is called a ‘fever’.

Fever is in fact a natural response, which helps the body tofight off infection. It makes the vital processes and organs of thebody work faster. More hormones are produced as well asenzymes and blood cells, especially the white cells, which attackforeign bacteria and viruses in the bloodstream. The hormonesand chemicals have to work much harder when the body is weak.The rate of blood circulation and respiration increase so that thebody eliminates toxins and waste more quickly. Perspiration isalso increased. It is important, however, to bring downa temperature whilst treating the cause, as it can destroy vitalprotein in the body.Adopted from: Anonymous, Tell Me Why?, London, Chancellor Press, 2010.

Why does Urine Smell like Ammonia?

There are several reasons why urine smells like ammonia.As ammonia is mainly nitrogen, the most common cause of thesmell is thus, eating foods with high concentrations of nitrogen:proteins, meats, eggs and the like, as well as a few vegetableslike asparagus. Eating lots of these will cause a strong smell ofammonia in urine.

Of course, urine itself does not smell; it is the concentrationof various chemicals in it. When one is dehydrated, there is lesswater in one’s urine, this results in a darker yellow color anda stronger odor from all the concentrated chemicals. Sufficientamounts of water should be consumed each day to preventhighly concentrated urine.

Contoh jawaban:

Why do Muscles Ache After Exercise?

When you exercise your muscles contract and producean acid known as lactic acid. This acid acts like a ‘poison’. Theeffect of this lactic acid is to make you tired, by making musclesfeel tired. If the acid is removed from a tired muscle, it stopsfeeling tired and can go right to work again.

So, feeling tired after muscular exercise is really the result ofa kind of internal ‘poisoning’ that goes on in the body. But thebody needs this feeling of tiredness so that it will want to rest.During rest the joints of the body replace the supplies oflubricants they have used up.Adopted from: Anonymous, Tell Me Why?, London: Chancellor Press, 2010.

10. Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru:A group of alumni, highly established in their

careers, got together to visit their old universityprofessor. Conversation soon turned into complaintsabout stress at work and in life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went tothe kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee anda variety of cups–porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, plainlooking, expensive looking and telling them to helpthemselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand,the professor said, “If you notice, all the expensivelooking cups are taken, leaving behind the plain lookingones. While it is normal for you to want only the best foryourselves, that is the source of your problems andstress. Be assured that the cup itself does not add qualityto the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive andprobably, even hides what we drink.”

All the alumni looked at their own cups andglanced at the others’. “What all of you really wanted wascoffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the bestcups and then you began eyeing each other’s cups,” theprofessor continued talking, “now consider this: life is thecoffee while the jobs, money and society status are thecups. They are just tools to hold and contain life and thetype of cup we have does not define, nor change thequality of our life. Sometimes, by concentrating on onlythe cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God provided us.”

Teks yang diperdengarkan Bapak/Ibu Guru:Questions 14 and 15 refer to the following monolog.

Let me tell you how hurricanes form. Hurricanes are themost violent storms on Earth. They are also known astyphoons or cyclones, depending on where they occur. Thescientific term for all these storms is tropical cyclone. Onlytropical cyclones that form over the Atlantic Ocean oreastern Pacific Ocean are called “hurricanes.” Whatever theyare called, tropical cyclones all form the same way.

Tropical cyclones are like giant engines that use warm,moist air as fuel. That is why, they form only over warmocean waters near the equator. The warm, moist air over theocean rises upward from near the surface. Because this airmoves up and away from the surface, there is less air leftnear the surface. Another way to explain, is when the warmair rises, an area of lower air pressure is created below.

Air from surrounding areas with higher air pressurepushes in to the low pressure area. That “new” air thenbecomes warm and moist and rises, too. As the warm aircontinues to rise, the surrounding air swirls in to take itsplace. As the warmed, moist air rises and cools off, the waterin the air forms clouds. The whole system of clouds and windspins and grows, fed by the ocean’s heat and waterevaporating from the surface.Adopted from: http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/hurricanes/ (January 28, 2013)

Teks yang dibacakan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru:A few people have to live near a volcano for various

reasons. Actually, living near a volcano has positive andnegative sides. Let me tell you about them.

The positive side of living near a volcano is that thesoil is fertile. Besides, a lot of volcanic products can beused in everyday life. Sulphur, for example, can be usedas an ingredient for matches or medicine. Meanwhile, thefiner volcanic deposits, such as gravel and sand found inrivers, can be used in building materials. More than that,the thermal energy from volcanoes can be used togenerate electric power.

Now, let’s discuss the negative side of living neara volcano. An eruption is very dangerous. When a volcanoerupts, lava and other materials destroy habitats andcrops. Of course, this causes great losses and couldharm, or even kill people living there.

Considering the facts above, we should live far awayfrom a volcano.Adapted from:– http://dancinghockeygirl.blogspot.com/2009/10/pros-of-living-near-

According to advertisements, these drinks are good for us. Whatare actually the pros and cons of consuming energy drinks?

On the positive side, energy drinks provide us with quickbursts of energy when needed. Therefore, people often report anincrease in mental alertness after they drink energy drinks.Perhaps too much physical energy can reflect a positive effect onmental awareness. The other benefit of drinking energy drinks isthat they are nourishing. Vitamins and minerals in these drinkscould have positive effects on the body.

Apart from their advantages, drinking energy drinks also hasnegative effects. We can get addicted to them. Moreover, theycontain excessive sugar and calories which can lead to

A. Compose a discussion text based on the followingdata.Then, present it in class.

Contoh jawaban:Several people are interested in taking out life insurance.

However, others think that life insurance is of poor value. Now,let’s take a look at both sides.

On one side, taking out life insurance provides us a senseof security. We don’t have to think much about the payments forillness treatments, since the insurance company will beresponsible for settlements. Not only that. When we die, theinsurance company provides a sum of money to our survivors.Of course it can lessen their burdens.

On the other side, life insurance is considered unnecessary.It can be costly, especially if we suffer from bad health orparticipate in ‘high-risk’ activities. Then while taking out lifeinsurance, we have a contract for a set period of time. It meansthat we have to pay a sum of money for the period. The othernegative side of life insurance is we can outlive our insuranceterm and don’t receive any financial benefits. Also, we will notget better returns compared to that of a regular saving orinvestment account unless we die.

Based on the pros and cons I’ve mentioned before, weshould consider carefully, before taking out life insurance.

Contoh jawaban (a discussion text):Do you follow a study club? Why do you like to follow it? You

know, following study clubs have advantages and disadvantages.I had interviewed friends, to get their opinions and now I’ll tell youabout them.

Most of them stated that following study clubs isadvantageous. By following a study club, we can solve problemsdealing with our studies. We can ask other friends about subjectsor lessons we don’t understand. More than that, we can makemore friends. Study club members usually have closerelationships. More friends, more happiness, right? Not only that.By following a study club, we can gain many new experiencesand they will be unforgettable.

However, there is an argument against it. Did you knowwhat it is? Yeah. Following a study club means that we havetime for a chitchat. If we can’t manage time, we will spend it onuselessly.

Based on the different arguments, I can conclude thatfollowing a study club has many benefits. If the reason is abouttime for a chitchat and other useless activities, we can minimizethem, right?

Arguments for and against organic farming are largelyanecdotal and left to personal opinions. Here are a few arguments.

Organic farming is good for the environment. Numeroussurveys have evaluated the environmental impact of variousfarming methods. From these, a general consensus is thatorganic farms do not use synthetic pesticides which can harmlocal wildlife.

Organic farming is good for food consumers. The harmfuleffects of pesticide exposure are well documented. Even whenthey are used accordingly, they still end up in the bodies of

Perhaps the single best argument against organic food isthat it is just too costly. On average, consumers pay 50% morefor organic products and up to 100% more for organic meat anddairy products.

To sum up, organic farming is a good way of farming. It issafe for the environment and consumers.Adapted from: http://altmed.creighton.edu/OrganicFood/perceived_pros_and_cons.htm(March 16, 2012)

On the other hand, frozen food has disadvantages. Frozenfood is first blanched or boiled in order to sterilize it.

The following text is for questions 11 to 14.Many people like consuming seafood, especially fish. Actually,

there are advantages and disadvantages.People should consume seafood because it is nutritious.

Most of the domestic fish such as tuna, salmon and cod aregood sources of protein, B vitamins, potassium, magnesium,selenium and other minerals. This is a versatile protein foodsource that is also relatively low in fat. Salmon and whitefishhave the highest Omega-3 fatty acid content. This type of fat isvery good for cardiovascular, brain and joints.

On the contrary, there are arguments against seafood.According to the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network, morethan 2 per cent of Americans report an allergy to fish andshellfish. Some of the reactions can be severe and/or lethal.

Besides that, bigger fish have more chance ofcontamination by mercury and other toxins such polychlorinatedbiphenyls (PCBs). The ones to avoid or eat sparingly areswordfish, tilefish, king mackerel, blue fin tuna, domesticatedshark and marlin.

Moreover, undercooked or raw fish can contain many kindsof parasites (including tapeworms).

From the arguments above, we should be careful whenconsuming seafood. If we want to consume seafood, be sure theseafood is commercially deep frozen and/or heated to at least140 degrees to kill tapeworms and other parasites. Also, it’simportant for pregnant women, babies, young children andimmunity-compromised persons to avoid these types of fish.Adopted from: http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/fitness/the-pros-and-cons-of-seafood.html (March 15, 2012)

The following text is for questions 16 to 20.One promotion method people can consider, is through the

Internet. Internet promotion has advantages and disadvantages.Internet promotion presents the advantage of a smaller

budget and storage costs, when compared to printing brochures,producing television or radio advertisements or managing a callcenter. It presents a fast and cost effective option for penetratingnew markets.

Besides that, e-mail makes business communicationsinstant. It makes it easier for customers to maintain contact andreadily facilitates repeat purchasing. The net result is that,a small business can gain significant competitive advantage ina given market.

Furthermore, Internet promotion also provides theadvantage of endurance. Whereas participation at a trade fair orconference loses sales impact, once it is over. An advertisementin a newspaper or business magazine may quickly lose its salesgenerating value within a day or two, or as soon as the nextissue is released. Internet promotion is often timeless. Apartfrom the dates and sometimes prices, much of your websitecontents remain valid years later.

However, Internet promotion is not without its risks andweaknesses. With millions of businesses selling the sameproducts and services, competing with more establishedbusinesses can be frustrating and a costly venture for smallbusinesses.

Another notable disadvantage is that it may be difficult forthe businesspersons and consumers to thoroughly evaluate thelegitimacy of a transaction. Small businesses are particularlyvulnerable to theft, using stolen credit cards and stoleninformation to do online transactions.

Then, another disadvantage is that the customers andbusinesspersons are isolated. There is little personal contactbetween customer and salesperson prior to and after the salestransaction. Thus, the prospect for repeat sales may diminish.

From all indications, it appears that the advantages ofInternet promotion far exceed the disadvantages. With adequateknowledge,entrepreneurs can benefit significantly from Internetpromotions, especially small business owners.Adopted from: http://www.patantconsult.com/articles/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-internet-promotion.htm (March 15, 2012)

Arizona is called Arid Zona by some people. Arizona isconsidered as a neighbor of the east side and is termedsunburn state. It is so hot in Arizona that it is usually saidthat you can boil an egg on your leg.

The heat in Arizona is dry and it is not hot all throughthe year. It appears that it is hot in Arizona until October andduring the Christmas it is so cool that frost forms. TheLaguna Mountains in California tend to block the cool marine

air that flows from the Pacific Ocean. The flow of air isinhibited to move eastwards to Yuma. These Mountains wereknown to keep the heat in them. The weather pattern in thesummer causes places like Utah, Nevada and Arizona tohave high pressures. This high air pressures make the air inNorth Arizona move at latitudes, in height. Due to thisreason, a place called Yuma in Arizona, which is situated ata higher altitude, experiences more heat and gets almostbaked.Adopted from: http://www.knowswhy.com/why-is-arizona-so-hot/ (January 29,2013)

Once upon a time, at the edge of the sea, there wasa rock, older than Time itself. Only The Unicorn used to gothere, to watch the sea at sunset and soothe its sadnesswith the song of the sea. It always arrived lonely, as eachnight-time fell, it left even lonelier and sadder. Only themoonlight reflecting from its mythical horn lightened thedarkness and its sadness.

One day, at twilight, the sea gathered all of its waves atthe foot of the rock. The watching Unicorn was puzzled. Ithad never seen so much foam in one place before and then,out of the sparkling foam, “She’ was born!”

With a body of foam and a soul made of light, ‘She’climbed the rock with steps of dreams and shadows. TheUnicorn looked deep into her sea-like eyes and found truehappiness. ‘She’ was its beloved!

Since then, that ancient rock had been pummeled andcrushed by the pounding waves of Time, and spread afar,throughout the seas of the world.

We call that crushed ancient rock ‘sand’ and imaginethat it knows only of the footprints trodden into it; though soonforgetting them, as the sea wipes away the bare-foot traces,but, in every grain of sand a memory remains, of the goldensummer when The Unicorn found its true love!Adopted from: http://short-stories.org.uk/talespinners/talespinners/sand.htm(January 29, 2013)

Contoh jawaban:Let me tell you my story. It happened in my philosophy

class. One day my professor brought some items to the class.I could see there were a large empty mayonnaise jar, rocksabout 5 cm in diameter, a box of pebbles and of sand.

At first, without saying anything, he picked up the empty jarand proceeded to fill it with the rocks. Then he asked us whetherthe jar was full. We agreed that it was full.

Then, my professor opened the box of pebbles and pouredthem into the jar. He shook the jar slightly. The pebbles, ofcourse, rolled into the empty spaces between the rocks. Again,the professor asked, whether the jar was full. We agreed it was.We were quite amused to listen to these silly questions.

Finally, my professor opened the box of sand and poured itinto the jar. Obviously, the sand completely filled the remainingempty spaces. We felt quite puzzled about what the professor’sexplanation would be.

Soon after, the professor explained that what he had justdone reflected our lives. He said that the rocks were importantaspects. They were our families, friends, partners, health,children––anything that was so important to us that if it were lost,we would be almost destroyed.

The professor then added that the pebbles were the otherimportant matters like our jobs, our houses or car. Meanwhile,the sand, in his opinion, was everything else, the small stuff.Everyone appeared enthusiastic, listening to the professor’sexplanation.

The professor then continued that, had we put the sand intothe jar first, there would have been no room for the pebbles orthe rocks and like our life, if we spent all of our energy and timeon the small stuff, then we would never have room for the thingsthat were important to us.

Before he closed the class, the professor reminded us topay attention to the things that were critical to our happiness.Spend your time with others and do the most important thingsfirst.

II. Write a short story that contains a good moral value.

Contoh jawaban:Long ago, there lived a little boy named Sammy. He was

a good boy. He was good at his studies, obedient to his parents,more intelligent than the other boys in his class and kind toeveryone. Adults, as well as those junior to Sammy loved himvery much. But that aroused jealousy in many other boys wholonged to be as loved as Sammy.

There was another boy named Timmy who studied in thesame class as Sammy. Unlike Sammy, he was not good atstudies and always liked to play during school hours. Hemisbehaved with his parents, bullied his classmates and evenill-treated Sammy. He always tried to put Sammy down andbelittle him before other kids in the class, but no matter what hedid, Sammy’s grades kept getting better and better. Whether atstudies, or in sports, or from his classmates, Sammy kept gettingaccolades from everywhere.

On his eighth birthday, Sammy received a nice pen as a giftfrom his parents. He brought it to school so that he could use itto write down notes from the lectures that the teachers gave inclass. This was a very beautiful pen and it could help one writevery fast. When Timmy saw it, he was very jealous of Sammy.He asked Sammy, “Hey, where did you get that? Did you buy it?”

“My parents gave it to me as a birthday gift.” replied Sammy.Timmy was overwhelmed with anger and jealousy. The bad

boy that he was, he rarely got any presents from his parents. Hedecided to steal Sammy’s pen. During recess, when everyonehad gone out from the class, Timmy opened Sammy’s bag andtook his pen. Then he hid it in his bag and went out to have histiffin.

When Sammy came back and could not find his pen, heinformed his class teacher about it. There was a hunt for themissing pen and the class teacher ordered the class monitor tosearch the bag of every child inside the class. The missing penwas soon found in Timmy’s bag and the furious teacher askedthe errant boy, “Now Timmy, what do you have to say about it?”

Timmy was in tears. He had nothing to say.When Sammy saw Timmy cry, he took pity on the boy. The

kind boy that he was, he had no ill-feeling against his classmate.He requested his class teacher not to take any action againstTimmy, now that his stolen pen was found.

This opened Timmy’s eyes. He could now see what a goodboy Sammy was. He apologized to his teacher and Sammy. Fromthat day, he became friends with Sammy and gradually changedhimself to be as good as Sammy. Everyone began to love Timmyand Sammy was proud of his new friend.

Despite being hurt by Timmy, Sammy only gave him love inreturn. This is how we should also treat our enemies. Whoknows? One day, our behaviour may just change them for thebetter.

From the story, we can learn that we should not harmsomeone even if he harms us. We should be good to all.Adopted from: http://www.kidsgen.com/moral_stories/be_good_to_your_enemies.htm(March 12, 2011)

Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru:Do you know the movie entitled The Possession? The movie

is about a young girl who buys an antique box at a yard sale,unaware that inside the box lives a malicious ancient spirit. Thegirl’s father teams up with his ex-wife to work hard and find a wayto end the curse upon their child. The movie stars Jeffrey DeanMorgan, from Eat, Pray, Love, Natasha Calis, Kyra Sedgwick,Madison Davenport and others.

The movie belongs to the horror movie category. You know,I usually dislike horror movies, but love them at the same time.Dislike it, because I can’t control myself from screaming andclose my eyes during horror scenes. Love it, because horrormovies always leave me in suspense.

In my opinion, The Possession starts real slow. The first 40minutes were boring, with nothing really scary, but too obviousand predictable. At first, I thought this movie was going to suck,but it turned out so good after the first 40 minutes. I closed myeyes so many times . . . and held my breath. I almost jumpedfrom my chair.

The only annoying thing about this movie was the transitionfrom each scene. There were lots of fade out-fade in transitions.It’s like an amateur editing the movie. Seriously, fade out-fade intransition for a 94 minutes movie? That’s intolerable.

Apart from the negative side, the acting of the casts issuperb. I didn’t find any flaws from the casts. Natasha Calis isamazing; I love her. The way she acts as the possessed girl isjust amazing. The way she cries, screams and acting all scaredwere very convincing. She’s going to be a big star! The caststruly save the whole movie for I think the story isn’t reallyinteresting.

So, if you’re looking for a good horror movie for weekend, I recommend you see this movie. Not really scary, but scaryenough to make you close your eyes during some scenes.Adapted from: http://anonymousdailyadventure.blogspot.com /2012/12/movie-review-possession.html (January 20, 2013)

Contoh jawaban:Have you seen another Kirsten Stewart’s movie adapted

from a famous fairy tale? Right, the movie is entitled Snow Whiteand the Huntsman, directed by Rupert Sanders. This movie wasrealeased a few months after Mirror Mirror, another version ofSnow White. In this latest version, Snow White is like a crossbetween Aslan and Joan of Arc. It’s very different from thejovialness of Julia Roberts in Mirror Mirror, but both havea similar basic problem.

In Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart playsSnow White, the heroine. Another actress supporting this movieis Charlize Theron as the sexy evil queen with headgearmodelled on the Disney animation. Meanwhile, Chris Hemsworthplays the huntsman, who is now a full-blown romantic lead,a hunky-stubbly protector with an accent like Russell Crowe inRobin Hood.

In my opinion, the movie gives Snow White an unresolvedand franchise-friendly romantic choice between the Huntsmanand a charming prince named William, played by Sam Claflin.Unlike Julia Roberts’s feebly evasive version, this movie does atleast tackle head-on the Queen’s sexual jealousy and Theronhas an interesting steely coldness at first. However, she is soonreduced to screeching like a villainess in that all-purpose

the people’s physical ailments.Like other Snow White movies, this movie also presents

seven dwarves. The dwarves are badass forest brigands playedby British character actors, but with a Narnia touch. It allbecomes very drawn out and like Mirror Mirror, tries to fix whatisn’t broken: the poignant clarity of Snow White being betrayedby a non-mother and then having to be a quasi-mother to sevendwarves. That is evidently far too babyish and needs to be sexedup, or rather teen-abstinenced up. The result is tangled andoverblown.

So, if you’re curious about this movie, get the DVD soon. Atleast, you could see Kirsten Stewart’s acting, outside Twillight.Adapted from: http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2012/may/31/snow-white-and-huntsman-review (January 20, 2013)

C. What is your favorite movie?Try to review the movie orally, in class.

Contoh jawaban:Do you like seeing action movies? If you do, you must see

an Indonesian movie entitled The Raid: Redemption.The Raid: Redemption which is directed by Gareth Evans

resembles the best of the ’80s cult action movies. It brings backthe star of Merantau, Iko Uwais. The action in The Raid:Redemption starts early and never really relents. Uwais fights hisway through one room full of bad guys, one after another.Meanwhile, the building’s occupants make tough life-or-deathdecisions, choosing whether to help the police or stay out of theway. There are a few tense, twisty suspense sequences, as thegangsters hunt the heroes. However, for the most part, The Raid:Redemption’s plot is not complicated.

Of course the ‘story’ is not what most people will look forfrom The Raid: Redemption. The emphasis here is speed. Thefight choreography is quick, designed to make viewers gasp andthen cheer. The only real knock against the film is that there’s noreal variation in tone or plot from start to finish.Adopted from: http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-raid-redemption,71283 (March 24,2012)

Review: The Iron LadyBy Avijit Ghosh

The early 1980s were difficult times in Britain. They werethe hard times when Margaret Thatcher became the country’sfirst woman prime minister in 1979. By the time she quit in1990, the Russians had fondly dubbed her The Iron Lady andBritain had changed irrevocably.

Much of the drama and trauma that the nation underwentduring her tenure in the 1980s is glossed over by directorPhyllida Lloyd’s venture in this movie. The movie merelyskims the surface of all that Britain underwent; instead itchooses to focus on the personality of Thatcher. There is nocomplexity or counterpoint on offer.

Luckily, director Lloyd has Meryl Streep in theprotagonist’s part. Streep’s magnetic performance makes upfor the script’s shallowness. Streep and her long-standingmakeup man J. Roy Helland earned Oscars for their work inthe film. They almost make us believe, as if we are watchingthe real Thatcher in action.

Streep not only captures the walk, the gait, the voice andthe diction of the former British Prime Minister, but also thetransformation into Thatcher’s personality that comes with hergrowing confidence in the job. The early hesitancy is replacedwith authority and arrogance. The sharp physical contrastbetween Thatcher as Prime Minister and the frail, falteringThatcher of later years, who keeps talking to her deadhusband, is stunning.

As a movie, The Iron Lady would have been dumped inthe category of less-than-satisfying biopics. However, Streepand Helland have not only ensured that the movie engagesthe regular viewers, but have also made it a ‘must-watch’ inevery acting workshop.Adopted from: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/english/The-Iron-Lady/movie-review/12097279.cms (March 24, 2012)

Jawaban:● prime minister = perdana menteri● irrevocably = dengan tidak dapat dibatalkan atau

ditarik kembali● tenure = masa jabatan● venture = perbuatan yang mengandung risiko

atau bahaya, spekulasi● shallowness = kedangkalan● gait = gaya berjalan, berjalan dengan

langkah cepat● hesitancy = keragu-raguan● frail = lemah● faltering = yang bimbang /terhuyung● stunning = menarik perhatian

B. Answer the questions based on the text in Task A.1. What is being reviewed in the text?2. Who directs The Iron Lady?3. How is Meryl Streep’s performance in the movie?4. What is the reviewer’s opinion about the movie?5. “They almost make us believe . . . .” (Paragraph 3)

Who does ‘they’ refer to?

Jawaban:1. A movie entitled The Iron Lady.2. Phyllida Lloyd.3. She acts well. She not only captures the walk, the gait,

the voice and the diction of the former British PrimeMinister, but also the transformation into Thatcher’spersonality that comes with her growing confidence in thejob.

4. As a movie, The Iron Lady would have been dumped inthe category of less-than-satisfying biopics. However,Streep and Helland have not only ensured that the movieengages the regular viewers, but have also made ita ‘must-watch’ in every acting workshop.

Contoh jawaban:Movie Review: The Artist

By Eric Eisenberg

The movie industry abandoned black-and-white silent films80 years ago. However, the spirit of the film in the past is backwith writer/director Michel Hazanavicius’s The Artist.

Set in the late 1920s, the story centers on George Valentin(Jean Dujardin), a famous movie star who is truly on top of theworld. His movies are some of the biggest in Hollywood and he isconstantly surrounded by fans who heap praise upon him. Oneday, by pure chance, he meets a young background actor namedPeppy Miller (Berenica Bejo), with whom he has an instantconnection. Ignoring the warnings from a powerful producer(John Goodman) that talkies are becoming the big thing, Georgerefuses to change his act. He watches his career sink lower andlower as Peppy rides the talkie wave and grows bigger andbigger.

While the presentation and performances are terrific, TheAritst’s derivative story prevents it from being a great film. Thestory of the silent film actor being pushed aside to make way fortalkies is hardly new. As a result, the whole thing smells ofMichel Hazanavicius first deciding that he wanted to makea silent film and then finding the simplest story to tell in thatformat. This reverse engineering sadly dampens the film andwhile you can still have fun and feel for the main character, it’snever going to reach the heights audiences expect.

Much like actors in early films, star Jean Dujardin performsmarvelously. A challenging role, to say the least, Dujardin neverpushes himself too far and we always know exactly how he feelsand what’s going through his mind. What’s more, the Frenchactor looks as though he’s been ripped straight out of the era,looking perfectly natural wearing a tailcoat tuxedo and sportinga pencil-thin moustache. He sells the drama, makes us laughand is, in short, perfect as George Valentin.

Despite its flaws, The Artist really is a delightful film. A loveletter to an age of cinema has gone by, it aims to reflect andrecapture the spirit of some of the earliest films and doessucceed in that regard. The movie isn’t revolutionary and doesn’taim to create a whole new wave of silent filmmaking, but it isa fun diversion.Adopted from: http://www.cinemablend.com/reviews/The-Artist-5569.html (March 27,2012)

Questions 4 and 5 refer to the following monolog.Let me give you a review about a movie entitled Mama. You

know something is up when what looks like a cheapie fright flickis produced by Guillermo Del Toro and boasts an Oscar-nominated actress in Jessica Chastain. Mama, directed byAndrés Muschietti, doesn’t live up to its potential, but the filmknows how to creep you out.

Two sisters, Victoria, played by Megan Charpentier, andLilly, by Isabelle Nélisse, considered dead for five years, arefound in the wilderness. The feral girls are taken in by their uncleLucas, played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and his raven-hairedgirlfriend Annabel, by Chastain, who try to solve the mystery ofhow they survive and why they still seem to be haunted bya menacing ghost they call “Mama.”

To get a taste of the film’s eerie essence, check out theacclaimed short of the same title, it’s on You Tube, that directorAndrés Muschietti and his producer sister, Barbara, crafted in2008. The feature-length Mama – which Neil Cross wrote withthe Muschiettis – can’t hide its stretch marks. However, Chastaindigs deep, going beyond the call of scream-queen duty to findthe passion that gives horror a pulse.Adopted from: Peter Travers, http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/reviews/mama-20130117 (January 20, 2013)

The film is filled with the mythological beliefs of residents ofthe village where it is set and the way figures emerge, ghostlike,from the dust and sand that constantly blows across the land togive them a mystical presence. The heart of the story is therelationship between a woman named Berlian and her daughter,Daya. An intriguing mix of other worldly visions and real-worldturmoil, Pasir Berbisik haunts the viewer with images that lingerin the mind long after the film ends.Adopted from: http://movies.msn.com/movies/movie-critic-reviews/pasir-berbisik/(April 2, 2012)

Movie Review: GieBy Ayesa Vawandia

Gie is a film adapted from a book entitled Catatan SeorangDemonstran (Notes of a Demonstrator), a collection of journalentries by Soe Hok Gie. The film tells the life story of the famousyoung, Indonesian-Chinese activist named Gie.

The movie starts from Gie’s teenage life during high school.Some scenes show the critical nature of Gie and the fact that healways expresses his opinion since he was young. Also, severalscenes show his interest in languages and books. He spends hisfree time by reading, or writing articles and he always writes inhis journal every day. His critical behavior reaches a peak whenhe enters University of Indonesia, Facully of Letters, majoring inHistory. There is revolution at that time. Gie then decides toestablish a new organization with his friends named “MAPALA”.Gie also writes articles about Indonesia’s government for severalnewspapers, such as Kompas and Sinar Harapan.

The film not only tells Gie’s life as an activist. There are alsoseveral scenes focused on Gie’s private life, with the role offictional characters intended to dramatize the story. All of themcan be played by Nicholas Saputra as the main character.

Review: HugoBy Manohla Dargis

Hugo, an enchantment from Martin Scorsese, is the 3-Dchildren’s movie that you might expect from the director ofRaging Bull and Goodfellas. It’s serious, beautiful, wise to theabsurdity of life and in the embrace of a piercing longing. Themovie is based on the book The Invention of Hugo Cabret, but isalso very much an expression of the filmmaker’s love for themovies.

Gracefully adapted by John Logan, the movie involvesa lonely, melancholic orphan, Hugo (Asa Butterfield), who in theearly 1930s tends to all the clocks in a Parisian train station.Seemingly abandoned by his uncle, the station’s officialtimekeeper (Ray Winstone), Hugo lives alone, deep in the station’sinterior, in a dark, dusty, secret apartment that was built foremployees. There he sleeps and naturally dreams, mostly of fixinga delicate automaton that his dead father, a clockmaker (JudeLaw), found once upon a time. The automaton is all that remainsof a happy past.

Hugo is the tale of a boy, one of fiction’s sentimentalorphans. While you can guess what happens, it’s the gettingthere—how the clock is wound—that surprises and oftendelights. Waves of melancholy wash over the story.

There is something poignant and paradoxical aboutMr. Scorsese’s honoring a film pioneer in digital (and in 3-D, noless), yet these moving pictures left for a time and entered onceagain through the love of the audience.Adopted from: http://movies.nytimes.com/2011/11/23/movies/martin-scorseses-hugo-with-ben-kingsley-and-sacha-baron-cohen-review.html?adxnnl=1&pagewanted=all&adxnnlx= 1332562174-MbiGw1O/s9UoHkqDgeKoKQ (March 24, 2012)

17. Where does Hugo live?A. On the street.B. In an apartment.C. In an orphanage.D. In his uncle’s house.E. In the station’s inferior.

18. What is Hugo’s dream?A. To be an adventurer.B. To make some clocks.C. To fix a delicate automaton.D. To be a machine repairman.E. To be an employee in a train station.

It is not a new argument for money concerns to get in theway of delivering the highest quality popular music. However,there is something about Jessie J’s laidback vibe that makes uswant to listen again and nod our heads in agreement. The soundis soulful and surprisingly restrained. There is depth and versesto mull over in your head.

From a marketing standpoint, it seems wise to have PriceTag as the first Jessie J’s single with a major push in the US.Price Tag will sit comfortably next to hits by either Bruno Mars orKaty Perry. Pop radio is already snatching up the song and youwill soon be singing, “forget about the price tag” in the car.Adopted from: http://top40.about.com/od/singles/gr/Jessie-J-Price-Tag-Featuring-B-O-B.htm (April 2, 2012)

Review: The Woman in BlackBy Gregg Katzman

The Woman in Black shares the sameexperience as being in a haunted house. There’s some tensionbetween jump scares, but ultimately, you know there’s no realrisk of danger.

The Woman in Black is about Arthur Kipps, a young lawyer(Daniel Radcliffe) visiting a remote village to collect paperworkfrom a deceased woman’s house. As he arrives, the locals givehim the cold shoulder and he quickly discovers the suspiciouslyspooky mansion, is indeed haunted. The scorned woman ishorrifying the local community, taking the lives of their childrenfrom time to time. As Arthur spends more time in the house, itbecomes clear that the locals aren’t crazy and there’s somespooky stuff going on at the wealthy estate.

I’m sure everyone is wondering about Radcliffe’sperformance, but he’s not the star of the film. The estate is thespotlight in The Woman in Black. It really is the one and onlyscary aspect of this film. The rundown house on an island oozesatmosphere and one would have to be bearing with courage,or filled with stupidity, to venture around the home aloneinvestigating noises, like Arthur did.

Some will dispute that this film has an excellent classicvibe, proving a horror movie can be done well withoutviolence. There’s tension, suspense, a few well-placed jumpscares and you have no idea what’s going to happen next. Adopted from: http://www.ugo.com/movies/the-woman-in-black-review (March 29, 2012)

Review: John CarterBy Chris Tookey

Andrew Stanton’s two animated hits, Finding Nemo andWall-E, gave him the right to fail–a privilege he exercises to thefull with this year’s first mega-disaster, John Carter 3D.

Handsome, muscular war veteran John Carter (TaylorKitsch) is prospecting for gold in Arizona. He is doing a wretchedimpersonation of John Wayne when he finds himself transportedto a densely populated Mars–called Barsoom by its inhabitants.Here, he encounters Tharks, 12ft-tall green aliens with tusks,who ride Thoats, huge eight-legged hamsters. The Tharks admireMr. Carter’s superpower–he’s able to jump really, really high,which makes him a cert for a couple of gold medals in anyMartian Olympics.

In the absence of such a sporting event, Carter becomesreluctantly involved in a war between the human tribes of Mars.The red-skinned Heliumites are led by peace-loving King TardosMors (Ciaran Hinds) and his daughter, a brilliant scientist turnedwarrior princess.

Most strikingly, the hero does practically everything DanielCraig did in Cowboys & Aliens: wake up on a desert withan amulet, discover new powers and suffer troubling flashbacksabout a dead woman he couldn’t protect.

More than £160 million was spent on the movie, and theUtah scenery and special effects are reasonably impressive. Buta couple of quid should have been spent on making the plothalfway plausible–and at least a tiny bit comprehensible.

The scale is epic and the visuals expensive, but the humanelement is missing, along with narrative skills and even thetiniest trace of humour. Without these, this science fiction neverstood an earthly.Adopted from: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2112402/John-Carter-film-review-Lame-heroes-ghastly-script-albino-space-wombats.html (March 29, 2012)

16. What does John Carter do in Arizona?A. He looks for his relatives.B. He joins an Olympics.C. He works there.D. He prospects for gold.E. He prospects for mining.

17. What do Tharks ride on?A. Huge hamsters. B. Huge scorpions.C. Huge horses. D. Huge sharks.E. Huge birds.

18. Why do the Tharks admire Mr. Carter’ssuperpower?A. He can run fast.B. He can walk fast.C. He can beat the aliens.D. He can fly very highly.E. He can jump very highly.

Teks yang dibacakan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru:Hi, today I’m going to review a book entitled The Last

Olympian written by Rick Riordan. This book is about thefinal battle against Kronos. Well, Kronos is going to takeover Mount Olympus in New York. Guess who’s going tostop him. Percy and his gang! It’s up to him and the rest ofhis friends to stop Kronos from taking over New York andlet me tell you, it’s one epic battle against him. The authorpushes his ability to the limit as he explains the battlescenes in so much detail. However, the part that reallyshines, is the part with Luke and Percy, that was soemotional and entertaining, that it was so good. Also, I likehow the author introduces the mix of Greek Mythologywith something modern, he does this so well too.

MohandasAuthor : Rajmohan GandhiReviewed by : Karan Mehta

Summary: Mohandas is a biographical description ofMohandas Gandhi, well known as Mahatma Gandhi. Itobserves Mohandas grow from a timid child in Gujarat toa man who goes against all odds while adhering to hisprinciples of non-violence, self-dependence, simplicity andequality to bring about revolutions, first in South Africa andthen in India. It starts with the boy Mohandas’ family andsocial ties, his experiences as a 13 year old husband, hisdifficulty in accepting religious norms and his ambition tostudy in England after his father’s demise. As a young manstudying law in England, he zealously develops simplicity inlife, a zeal he would retain for the rest of his life. A jobsearch takes him to South Africa where he startsSatyagraha and wins Rights for Indians there. Comingback to India as a well-known reformer, he popularizes hisprinciples and wins the hearts of millions, uniting themdespite religious and political differences. Till hisassassination in 1948, he tried to bring peace betweenIndia and Pakistan.

Social/Historical Context: The development andmeaning of Gandhi’s principles are in focus. This simpleman tore through all kinds of differences, helped alleviatepoverty and outcastes, found a way, the charkha, to makemillions self-dependent. Simplicity and non-violence can goa long way even today with the Neta Raj replacing theEmpire. Gandhi won over various politicians and leaderswith his principles and dedication to the Indian cause andthis serves as an inspiring lesson to many who have similarideals.

Jawaban:1. C 2. D 3. B 4. E 5. D

C. Read the text and answer the questions.

Jawaban:1. A book entitled The Moneyless Man, Kisah Nyata Setahun

get as much money as they can.7. He had created an environmentally friendly house for him to

live in.8. He wants peacefulness, not conflict; he wants friendship,

not fights. He wants to see people make peace with theplanet, ourselves and all the other species that inhabit it.

9. It refers to the readers.10. It is destruction.

Writing Style: The research behind the book is vast asit uses other biographies, commentaries and press reports.Detail is a positive aspect of this book and very frequentlyhistorical personalities have been quoted in the book. Thechronology is brilliant and chapters, though lengthy, eitherdescribe stages of Gandhi’s personal growth or focuson important historical events like Dandi March, Non-cooperation movement, Independence, etc. Gandhi’s imagesin the book have a certain emotional touch to them.

My Thoughts: The book is a brilliant lesson inunderstanding Gandhi and how he influenced India’s freedomstruggle. It is disappointing that the principles which freeda nation are not practiced anymore. Gandhi is the perfect rolemodel for an honest and simple life. Religious and culturaldifferences have always been our weakness, but one mandared to overlook all such differences; the result is before oureyes. Of course such principles should be gradually realizedthrough thoughts and action; blind acceptance will just makeus weak. Gandhi found solutions to most social problems andthese solutions hold, even in today’s industrialized world.Only self-discovery can help us truly appreciate the man whoconfronted an Empire, his own divided people, hisadversaries and most of all, his self.Adopted from: http://www.book-review-circle.com/Mohandas-Rajmohan-Gandhi.html (March 21, 2012)

Lion FablesWritten and illustrated by Jan OrmerodPaperbackReviewed by Maureen Pugh

This book contains both Aesop’s fable “The Lion and theMouse”, as well as the Malaysian fable “The Hare’s Revenge”. Thestories are retold and illustrated by award-willing author andillustrator Jan Ormerod. “The Lion and the Mouse” is about thefamiliar tale of a little mouse, who captured by the self-acclaimed“King of the Beasts”, bargains for its life with an offer offriendship and aid should the lion ever need him. Amused by theoffer, the lion lets the mouse go, never thinking he actually willneed the aid of such a small creature. Yet in only a matter ofdays, the lion is captured in a hunter’s net. The mouse sets thelion free by nibbling the rope in two, and the lion is humbled andgrateful.

The Malaysian fable “The Hare’s Revenge” is a bit darker.In this tale, the lion is a “bully and a fool” who boasts and ragesabout how strong and brave he is. His poor neighbor, the hare,can stand it no longer and decides to get his revenge. He tellsthe lion about another lion who has declared that he is the Kingof the woods. The hare leads the boastful lion to the new lion’s“hiding place” at the bottom of a well. Tricked by his ownreflection, the enraged lion flings himself down the well never tobe seen again.

The illustrations of both stories are dramatic, with the lion’shead sometimes taking up the whole page. Jan Ormerod is ableto depict the different backgrounds–arid desert and lushMalaysian countryside–with minimal brushstrokes. Theillustrations instead focus on the animals and are quite strikingand expressive.

Between the two stories is a page that has teacher’s notes,with some interesting tips on how to talk to children about thestories. Although they are designed for classroom use, thesuggestions would be of interest to parents teaching their ownchildren as well.Adopted from: http://blog.languagelizard.com/2011/08/13/bilingual-book-review-lion-fables/ (March 28, 2012)

The ForeshadowingAuthor : Marcus SedgwickGrade Level : 9–10, 11–12, AdultGenre(s) : Historical Fiction, Mystery, Realistic,

Science-FictionNumber of Stars : Four Stars

What an excellent book this turned out to be! MarcusSedgwick, being one of my favorite authors has done it again!His style of writing is superb and I enjoy reading his works.

The Foreshadowing is about a 17–year–old girl named Sashaliving in WW1. Trying to pursue her dreams of becoming a nurse,she discovers she has the ability to see the future, and know whensomeone is about to die. As the war begins, Sasha gets theopportunity to work in a hospital, caring and aiding the youngwounded soldiers of the war. Though the more she is around thesesoldiers, the more deaths she sees. As these deaths come topass, she begins to worry about herself. No one will believe her socalled “stories”. Then, her brother joins the army, and she beginsto see visions of her brother’s own death and Sasha decides thatshe has to do something about it while there is still time, for herbrother’s life and her own. Will she be able to save her brother intime?

This book was very well constructed and stayed true to thetime period of which it was written. That style of writing wasn’tlaid on too thick which made it easier to read. I was quite happywith the strength of all of the characters, and their determinedpersonalities made this book quite a page turner. It is a quickread for an avid reader like myself and one of the best historicalfictions I’ve ever read. The only problem I had with the book wasthat I was expecting a more complex and twisted ending, thoughthe ending was good, I thought there could have been somethingmore complicated involved. So in the end, it’s a great book andI recommend it to the historical fiction lovers.Adopted from: Severa, http://fcpltab.wordpress.com/category/reviews/page/2/(March 24, 2012)

From Darkness Won (Blood of Kings, Book 3)By Jill Williamson

Review by Christian Miles

The adventure has ended! Readers have fallen in love withAchan and Vrell. This is the final tale Achan and Vrell embark onone last journey, an epic battle, and take the final stand to pushback Darkness or perish.

This is it, the final book of the Blood of Kings trilogy.Achan and Vrell have come far. They’ve fought Black

Knights in Darkness, freed prisoners from icy cells, escaped thewrath of a bloodthirsty usurper . . . but now they’ve foundthemselves in the midst of a war. Everything hangs in thebalance, and if the Crown Prince cannot take the throne atArmonguard, Darkness will consume all the land.

Our final foray into the land of Er’rets couldn’t have beenbetter. I don’t know how she did it, but somehow Jill Williamsonmanaged to write the perfect last book to her Blood of Kingstrilogy, tying up every loose end with flair. From Darkness Won hadme up until 3 a.m. reading. It bonded to my hands the momentI picked it up, refusing to be put down until the last page fell. Fivestars and a standing ovation are in order, I think.

Very highly recommended.Adopted from: http://novelteen.wordpress.com/ (March 24, 2012)

An earthquake is the movement of the Earth’s crust whichmakes the ground shake or quake.

Earth quakes usually occur when the plates of theEarth’s crust grind against each other. This causes tension inthe rocks and when the tension becomes too great, theplates shift and split. These movements cause shock waves,which start deep underground.

The point on the surface immediately above theearthquake is called its ‘epicenter’ and is thescene of thegreatest destruction. The shock waves travel out from theepicenter in the same way that ripples spread when you dropa stone into a pool.

Earthquakes can be so violent that buildings topple,people are killed and huge craters open in the ground. Theyoften trigger tidal waves and landslides.Adopted from: P. Durkin, V. Ferguson, G. Sperring, Text Types Book 5 for PrimarySchools, Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2006.
