Travelling by Air

Nowadays people become busier and busier. Some times they have to do some important
businesses as in many different towns on the same day. To over come this, we need the fastest
means of transportation. The best choice is to travel by air.

Garuda Airlines, Sempati Air, Merpati Nusantara Airlines and Buroq are some of the
Indonesian Airlines each offer the best facilities to the passangers.

Travelling by air makes us feel that the world is getting narrower and narrower. We need
less time to each teach our destination than to travel on the road.

You have only to buy a ticket first before. If you travel by plane, you can get the ticket in
the ticket agencies which are easy to get now.

The worst thing in travelling by air is that the plane can not reach any towns located within
short distance. Towns within short distance do not have plane routes. Small towns do not have

major news event, like a flight to the moon. We depend very much on radio for news and
information as well as for entertainment. Radio has become the constant companion of millions
of people. Lost of people own radios.

Radio gives people enjoyment in many ways. The average listener spends about one hour
each day with his radio. Sometimes he listens to music, football match, wayang, and sandiwara
(a kind of play). Even the grocers, greengrocers, and the barbers spend ten hours each day with
their radios. Many people depend on radio for news of what is happening around the world.

Radio was first used to communicate with ship at sea. This is still an important use. Because
of radio, ships can keep in touch with one another, and when necessary, call for help. Aeroplanes
use radios to keep in touch with ground.

Radio stations can broadcast farther at night-time than they can in daytime because the
ionosphere is higher at night than during the day. The sky waves that the station sends out to
the earth at a point is farther away from the station than it is in daylight.

A radio broadcasting station is an exciting place. Programmes must be broadcast precisely

on schedule. To make this possible, the people who work in the station must be alert and
observant. These people are vitally concerned with the people about them, and they may work
closely with celebrities and other people who make the news.

The Geographical condition of the world

The area of our earth surface is about 500 million square kilometers. It consists of lands and
water. How many continents does our earth have ? It has five continents namely .Europe, Asia,
America, Africa and Australia. Our earth has also three oceans. They are Hindia, Pacific and
Atlantic oceans.
European countries usually have four seasons, namely : spring, summer, autumn and winter.
In spring it looks green every where because the leaves of the trees begin to grow in this season.
But many parts of European countries look more beautiful while the flowers are blooming. In
these places the scenes are colorful.
In summer it is sunny almost the whole day. Most European people usually get recreation in
this season. They like to go to the beaches to enjoy sun bathing, surfing, skiing, swimming and
bathing in the sea.
In autumn the leaves of the trees fall down to the ground. The scenes are dominated by the
dry leaves every where. The wind usually blows hard in this season. Some times the strong wind
because any damage.
In winter it looks white every where because most of European areas are covered with snow.
During this season people there prefer wearing thick clothes like sweaters, coats and jackets
because the weather is very cold. Many places especially the highlands, become ski areas.
Of course, those situations are very different from the conditions in some Asian countries
like Indonesia. Indonesia has only two seasons, the dry and wet seasons. In the dry season it is
usually hot the whole day. It comes from April to October, while the wet season comes from
October to April. Most parts of Indonesia get rain during the wet or rainy season. But the down

Fishes live in water and have fins which help them to swim. Most fishes have slimy skins
covered with scales which are very small and can hardly be seen.
Fishes breathe through gills. These look like a comb and lie on each side of the head. Fishes
take in water all the time. The water flows in through the mouth, over the gills and out through
the sides of the head. When a fish takes in water, it is not drinking but breathing. The gills
absorb oxygen from the water.

A forest is an area that is full of trees. We can find in the islands of Indonesia. They spread
along the islands of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Irian and other islands in Indonesia. They are
very important for our lives.
Forests give us many kinds of export commodities such as timber, rattans, as well as rubber.
Forests also protect us from danger of floods. In the rainy season the roots of the trees in the
forest absorb the rain water and store it under the ground. In the dry season the water will come
out and it is very useful for us for reservoir and irrigation. If there are no forests, the rain water
cannot be stored, there will be erosion of the soil and we will suffer from terrible floods.

Forests also help us to purify the air of pollution. The trees of the forests need carbon
dioxide from the air and send the oxygen out into the air, which make the air fresh and pure. The
fresh and pure air is needed for our health.

We can also find many kinds of fauna and flora in the forests. Animals and plants need
forests to live. To ensure the continued existed of the animal and plants in the forest, we have to
protect it from destruction. Realizing that the forest gives us a lot of important things, we should
keep our forest safe. Our forest is our environment.

COMPUTERS

Computers are machines that handle information automatically. They can perform
calculation and process data. Computers can work with numbers to solve problems in a few
seconds. Computers can remember a great deal of information and make practically no
mistakes. That is why computers are widely used in places such as banks, offices and
companies.
Computers work like calculators. But most calculators can do only one thing at a time. We
tell them what to do by pressing various buttons. To do the same work, we can give a series of
instructions to a computer. We call this a computer program. If we set up a program, the
computers can provide other information, such as a list, number, letters, words or even graphs
or pictures. Once we provide a program, the computers can do all this work automatically
without further help or instruction.

A computers stores and handles numbers. The numbers may be mathematical formulas or
columns of figures. The numbers may also be codes that stand for letters of the alphabet, word
or instructions to the computers.

My family like the sea very much. When we go on holidays, we always go to the seaside and
borrow a boat from one of our friends. Then we row, sail and fish on the sea all day long.
Sometimes we have races against other boats.

When the sea is rough, we row and sail on a small lake near the sea instead. We are very
careful on this lake because there are a lot of sharp rocks there, and the water is shallow. We do
not want to damage our friend's boat.

30
 There are not many fish is the lake, but in the sea we sometimes catch a lot of fish with a
hook, line and a small leces of bread. When the weather is fine, we row to the land at lunch time,
collect pieces of dry wood and fry or girl our fish over them on the beach.

There is an island about a mile from our friend's house, and we often row or sail too it. The
water is very clean there, and there is a beautiful beach with while sand and rock. We often
bathe there.

Indonesian Life

The Indonesian society consists of rural and urban society. Rural society lives in villages.
They usually make their livings by farming. Some make their livings by working in home
industries. Home industries are usually small-scale industries, so they don’t need many workers.
There are many kinds of jobs people can do in cities. Cities are the center of big industries.
Most government offices are also centered in cities. Therefore, most people in the village want to
move to cities.

The villagers move to cities in great numbers to get jobs. Some get what they want, but
most of them don’t. They who have skills or good education can become government civil
servants or employees of informal sectors, such as, food sellers, porters, and house servants.

As the cities are densely populated, the demand for daily needs increases sharply. This
condition motivates the growth of trade and new merchants. Life in a city is a competition. It is a
hard life. Everyone must work to earn a living.

1. How do the villagers make their living? (B) they no longer like farming

Wildlife

The earth has many kinds or species of animals. Part of the wildlife kingdom has already
been lost, and a great many species are threatened. The cheetah is nearly extinct in Asia and so
are whooping cranes in North America. There are about 600 animal species that are in danger of
becoming extinct, or dying off. Once an animal species is gone, it cannot be recreated.
Elephants hunted for their ivory tusks are protected in Kenya, where big-game hunting is
forbidden by law. Rhinoceroses, crocodiles, monkeys, sharks and whales are also protected. And
so are parrots, eagles and birds of beautiful feathers.

Uncontrolled killing, for profit or sport, was once the chief cause of extinction. Today laws
regulate hunting and fishing in many countries. As populations grow, more forests are cleaned,
and wildlife habitats are lost. New dams may threaten the existence of certain kinds of fish. The
construction of highways may cause animals to lose their sources of food.

Conserving other natural resources helps to protect wildlife. If we use less paper, fewer
trees will be cut down. If we use less electricity, fewer dams will be built. We can also help
conserve wildlife by obeying hunting and fishing laws, planting bushes and shrubs to provide
food and shelter for wildlife.

1. Hunting elephants for their ivory ... by (B) is forbidden (D) is encouraged
law.

(A) is allowed (C)is punished 2. More wildlife habitats will be lost if....

CAMPING

Last weekend the girl scouts and the boy scouts had a ‘Persami’ activity outside their school.
They left for the woods at five in the morning. After a long drive they arrived at the woods and
found a good camping site.
“Let’s set up our tents here,” said the leader. Then they started to work. They needed a
pole, some rope and nails for each tent. In a short time the tents are ready and they put a small
flag on top of each tent.
The girls made a fire and cooked their lunch while the boys were busy working. As soon as
the lunch was ready, they immediately started to eat. Of course it was a very simple dish but a
very good lunch for them.
After a little rest, the leader blew his whistle and all the girl scouts and the boy scouts
gathered around to start their ‘Persami’ program.

DISCOVERING THE KOMODO LIZARD

Two fishermen tied their boat up, hurried out of the boat and ran down the streets of their
hometown.
‘We saw a dragon on Komodo Island,’ they shouted. ‘We saw a dragon !’

A man heard their shouts. He was an American named Douglas Burden. Burden was a
naturalist. A naturalist is a person who tries to learn as mush as he can about things that live. He
believed what the two men said but there was only one way to find out. He had to go to Komodo
Island himself and brought back one of the dragons for people to see.

So Douglas Burden and some friends sailed halfway around the world to the tiny island off
the coast of Indonesia. When they reached the island they were afraid that the traps and cages
they had with tem would not be strong enough to hold the dragons.

There were dragons on the island. They weren’t the same dragons people see in picture
books and in children’s stories, but they looked more like dragons than any other animal Burden
had ever seen. They were really large lizards-some of them three metres long and as heavy as
two men. Their legs were short and thick and on their feet were sharp claws like knives although
they did not breathe fire like the dragons in story books, the lizards had yellow forked tongues
that moved quickly in and out of their mouths.
It was difficult and dangerous to catch the lizard.

Sometimes the lizards attacked the men. Sometimes the men had to kill the lizards to save
themselves.

Finally, Burden and his friends caught two live Komodos and put them in cages on their ship.
Then they sailed back to America.

When the two dragons were put into the Brooklyn Zoo in New York City, people came from
all over America to see them. Burden was pleased that so many people had a chance to see two
live dragons.

That was more than 45 years ago. Today there are no more live dragons anywhere in the
world except on the tiny island of Komodo. They still live there.

1. How many lizards did the men manage (B) Two (D)Four
to catch alive ?

All living things on the earth belong to the plant or the animal family. The plant family get
their food and water from the soil. They also need sunlight to grow. Some of them live in water
and get their food from the water. There are many thousands of plants.
We can divide plants into two groups. There are the plants without stems, roots or leaves.
These are the algae and the mosses. Both kinds of plants need a lot of water. So, algae is usually
found in water and moss is found in wet places.
The other group is the plants with stems. They consist of all the fruit trees, flower plants,
vegetables and all the timber trees. These plants have roots, stems and leaves.
The plants with stems can be divided into the flowering plants and the non-flowering plants.
The flowering plants have a fruit with a seed inside the flower. Some seed are flat like wings and

35
are carried by the wind. Some seeds have fleshy fruits which animals eat and pass out. Some
seeds are collected and distributed by man. In this way plants grow once again from seeds.
The non-flowering plants have spores growing on the leaves. When they are dry are carried
by the wind. Those spores that fall on wet soil start to grow again. These are some of the ways
that plants live and multiply.

Dear Wirtomo,

Thank you for your second letter. It is interesting to read about

the farming tools used by farmers in your village.
Unlike the farmers in your village, most farmers in my country use
machines to help them work. The machines are very useful since most
farms are very big. They use tractors to plow the land. Another
machine is a seed drill; it makes holes in the ground, then it drops
seeds into them. It may even drop a small amount of fertilizer with
each seed. Farmers with very large farms sometimes use planes to
plant seed. They also use planes to spray chemical onto the rice
fields. When harvest time comes they also use a machine called a
‘combine’ to cut the rice. It also separates the rice kernels from the
stalks. You know that a ‘combine’ can harvest more grain than 200 46
people working by hand.
1.Most farmers in Australia use ... to plow land.

(A) Tractors (B) airplanes (C) combines (D) seeds drills

2.The following are what farmers use a seed drill for except.....

(A) making holes (C) plowing land

(B) dropping fertilizer (D) dropping seeds to plant

3.“.... then it drops seed into them”. (paragraph 2)

What does the underlined word refer to ?....

Earthquakes can cause landslides. The shaking loosens rock and soil on the sides of mountains and hills. The
soil and rock slides down. It can bury towns and neighborhoods.

Earthquakes can cause huge waves called tsunamis. Rock slipping along a fault under the ocean causes a
tsunami. The sudden movement of the rock sends a shockwave through the water above it. It makes powerful
waves of water on the ocean’s surface. The waves spread out across the ocean. When the waves reach
shallow water near land they get bigger and taller. Tsunami waves can be 50 feet (15 meters) high! When a
huge tsunami hits shore it causes terrible floods. The floods wash away cars and damage buildings. Many
people can die when a tsunami hits land. (Encarta Encyclopedia, 2005)

TIGERS

50
Tigers are members of the cat family. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, and house cats are also members of
the cat family. Tigers are the largest cats, and the only cats with stripes. They live in large forests in
southern and southeastern Asia.

A tiger’s short fur is usually colored dark orange with black stripes. Each tiger has different stripes, and you can
use them to tell tigers apart. The stripes make a tiger stand out if you see them in the open. In the forests where
tigers live, however, the stripes make them almost invisible.

Like house cats, tigers have soft pads on the bottoms of their paws. These pads allow tigers to move silently
through the forest. Tigers have long, sharp claws at the ends of their feet. They pull the claws in until they need
them. When needed, the claws pop out like knives.

Their big, yellow eyes give tigers sharp sight to help find prey. Tigers see as well as people during the day, and
much better than people at night. They also hear very well. They can turn their ears toward sounds.

Tigers have explosive speed. They have strong muscles and long legs that help them move extremely fast over
short distances. Their long tails give them balance while running fast. Powerful jaws and sharp teeth help tigers
grab and kill prey once they catch it.

Some tigers in zoos and circuses are white with blue eyes. People bred these tigers because white tigers fetch
more money from tourists. In the wild, white tigers are very rare. Zoos no longer breed tigers to be white.

11. What are the differences of a tiger and a cat?

b. a tiger has stripes but a cat doesn’t

Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali was born in 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky. His parents named him Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr.
They named their son after a Kentucky statesman who had fought against slavery in the 1800s.

Young Cassius Clay quickly made his mark in the boxing ring. He turned professional after winning a gold
medal in the Olympic games in 1960. Four years later, he knocked out Sonny Liston to earn his first world
heavyweight champion title.

After winning the title, Clay converted to Islam. This religion follows the teachings of the prophet Muhammad.
When Clay converted, he took a new name, Muhammad Ali.

52
In 1974, Ali won the world heavyweight title again by beating George Foreman. Then he defended a challenge
by former heavyweight champion Joe Frazier in a fight Ali called “The Thrilla in Manila.” This was a 15-round
fight in the capital city of the Philippines. Ali won that fight.

Ali defended his heavyweight title six more times before he lost to Leon Spinks in February 1978. But Ali came
back to beat Spinks and regain the title seven months later.

Ali retired in 1981 with a record of 56 wins and 5 losses. He won fame for his graceful footwork, powerful jabs,
and confident boasts about his boxing skill. He proclaimed that he was “The Greatest,” and many sports fans
agreed.

Harry Potter

Maybe you haven’t read Harry Potter’s adventures. If not, then let’s quickly introduce him.

Harry Potter is an unhappy 11-year-old. He lives with his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon Dursley and their
awful son Dudley.

Harry doesn’t know it, but he’s a wizard! His mother was a witch and his father was a wizard. Both died fighting
the evil wizard Voldemort when Harry was just a baby. Harry was hidden with the unmagical Dursleys to protect
him from Voldemort.

Harry’s adventures begin when he is accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There, he meets
adults like Headmaster Albus Dumbledore and Groundskeeper Rubeus Hagrid. He also befriends schoolmates
like Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, and meets rivals like Draco Malfoy. He learns magic and how to play

novels have been translated into more than 30 languages and have sold millions and millions of copies. The
arrival of a new Harry Potter book is a worldwide event!

The Hare And The Tortoise

A hare can run very fast, but a tortoise moves very slowly.

86
 One morning a hare said to a tortoise, “You are a slow animal. I can run faster
than you.”

“You are absolutely right”, answered the tortoise. “I can’t run as fast as you,
but I can beat you in a race.”

“Impossible!” said the hare angrily. “You can never beat me! Let race to that
tree and see who wins.”

The tortoise began walking slowly towards the tree. He couldn’t go fast, but
he didn’t stop walking. The hare didn’t run. He just sat and laughed loudly.

“I don’t have to hurry, I can sleep first!” he said. The hare lay down on the
grass and went to sleep.

The tortoise continued walking steadily toward the tree. When he was close
to the tree, he saw that the hare was sleeping soundly.

win.” When he arrived at the tree, the tortoise was already there.
