Bapak/Ibu Guru tentu sudah memahami bahwa Pemerintah telah menetapkan buku-buku yang
layak dipakai di dalam proses belajar mengajar. Buku-buku (BSE) itu dapat diunduh melalui internet
oleh siapa saja dan tidak dipungut biaya. Siapa pun bisa menggunakannya. Namun ternyata, itu saja
belum cukup. Siswa masih memerlukan bahan latihan agar kompetensi mereka benar-benar terukur.
Kenyataannya tidak banyak buku latihan yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan siswa dan guru. Salah satu
buku yang selalu ditunggu kehadirannya adalah buku PR Bahasa Inggris yang dilengkapi Pegangan
Guru (PG).
Buku PR Bahasa Inggris sudah terbit dalam beberapa edisi. Bapak/Ibu Guru yang sudah
menggunakan buku latihan ini beserta PG-nya mengakui kebergunaan materi yang ada dalam buku
ini pada saat mengajar. Mereka merasa sangat terbantu dengan adanya buku PR Bahasa Inggris
karena materinya selalu aktual dan mendukung tercapainya kompetensi. Dengan demikian, siswa
mempunyai banyak kesempatan berlatih mengembangkan kemampuan mereka, baik secara lisan
(spoken) maupun tertulis (written).
Kali ini buku PR Bahasa Inggris yang juga dilengkapi PG kembali hadir dengan beberapa
peningkatan mutu. Perubahan itu atas masukan Bapak/Ibu Guru yang sudah menggunakan buku
latihan ini. Salah satunya adalah disediakannya materi akhir unit di buku siswa (disebut Assessment)
dan juga di Pegangan Guru (disebut Review). Materi akhir unit di buku Pegangan Guru (Review)
tidak ada di buku siswa. Dengan demikian, Bapak/Ibu Guru dapat memberi bentuk latihan akhir unit
yang berbeda dengan yang ada di buku siswa. Kedua materi itu belum ada di buku Pegangan Guru
PR Bahasa Inggris edisi sebelumnya.
Penyusun sangat berharap buku latihan ini sesuai dengan keinginan Bapak/Ibu Guru. Buku ini
juga kami harapkan benar-benar dapat membantu siswa meningkatkan kompetensi mereka dan
membantu Bapak/Ibu Guru menciptakan generasi penerus yang cerdas.
Penyusun tetap mengharapkan masukan Bapak/Ibu Guru guna penyempurnaan dan
pengembangan buku latihan ini.

1.1 Expressions

Asking for and Giving Certainty

Read the dialogs and study the explanation.

Are you sure this is


the bookstore we
are looking for? I’m sure. It’s at
Jalan Diponegoro
number 15, right?
Just like what my
brother said.

It is an African bird,
you know . . . .
2

Is that so?

Absolutely. I’ve read an article


about that bird in my encyclopedia.
An ostrich is a bird but it can’t fly.
I see. However, it can run very fast.

Look at the bold-typed sentences in the dialogs above. In dialog 1, Ade and Amelia are
looking for a bookstore. Amelia asked her brother before about the bookstore. When they
finally find it, Ade asks Amelia, “Are you sure this is the bookstore we are looking for?”
It means he is uncertain about the bookstore. He uses such an expression to ask for
certainty. Then, Amelia answers, “I’m sure” to show her certainty.
In dialog 2, Bagas tells Indra that an ostrich is an African bird. Indra says, “Is that so?” to ask
for Bagas’ certainty. Then, Bagas shows his certainty by saying, “Absolutely.”
In summary, “Are you sure this is the bookstore we are looking for?” and “Is that so?”
are the expressions of asking for certainty while “I’m sure.” and “Absolutely.” are the
expressions of showing certainty.

36 UNIT 1 Report
Here are some other expressions you can use to ask for and give certainty.

Asking for Certainty Giving Certainty


Are you certain? I’m quite sure.
Are you sure? I’ve no doubt about . . . .
Is that so? You bet!/Of course./Sure./Absolutely!
Is it confirmed? I’m positive./It’s possible.
Do you?/Will you?/Can you? That sounds good/perfect.
What if . . .? O.K./No problem.
Will it be O.K. if . . .? Fine. Go ahead.
How about this/that one? I’m definitely sure./I’m absolutely certain.
How about these/those ones? Sure, I’m certain.
No doubt about it./Without doubt.

Showing Amazement

Read the dialogs and study the explanation.


1. Dita and Mela are enjoying their holiday at Lake Toba.
Dita : What a beautiful and large lake it is! I wonder how long we will take to wade
across the lake.
Mela : Around a week, maybe?
Dita : Well, . . . I don’t know.
2. Irma is spending her holiday at her cousin’s house, Dandi. Then, Dandi takes Irma
around his town. Both of them are at a mall now.
Irma : Wow, terrific! I really love this mall. I can find everything I want here.
Dandi : So, aren’t there any malls like this in your town?
Irma : Unh . . . unh . . . . We can only find a dead mall who has very few customers.
You know, my town isn’t as big as yours.

Note:
● ‘Unh . . . unh . . . ’ means ‘no’.
● ‘Dead mall’ means a mall that has a few visitors and isn’t interesting anymore.

Look at the bold-typed sentences in the dialogs.


To show amazement, in dialog 1, Dita says, “What a beautiful and large lake it is!” while in
dialog 2, Irma says, “Wow, terrific!”
Here are some other expressions to show amazement that you can use in your daily
conversations.

Showing Amazement

Amazing! Wow, fabulous! How beautiful!


Fantastic! Terrific! How easy!
Incredible! Perfect! Perfect!
What a day! What a . . .!*) Unbelievable!

Hello, everybody. In this occasion, I’d like to tell you about supermarkets in general. I’m
sure all of you have been familiar with that term. Um . . ., how many times in a month do you
usually go there? I assume that you go there more than once or twice, don’t you?
We can find supermarkets in every town. They come with aisles of different kinds of
food and products. For example, you can find fifteen to twenty different kinds of cheese in
the dairy section. You can find many different brands of toilet tissue in the paper products
section. You will also find the frozen food section that has everything from cans of frozen
apple juice to bags of mixed vegetables and frozen pizza.

Well, many supermarkets also have a big health care products aisle. This section is like
a small drugstore, with different brands of medicines, shampoo, toothpaste and other health
care items.
Some supermarkets even sell something else, such as magazines, books, shoes,
underwear, gardening tools and other household products. Here you can also use your card in
money machines to take money out of your bank.
You know, shoppers in many supermarkets can buy snacks and cold drinks from vending
machines. Well, in some places, tired and hungry shoppers can sit down and enjoy a fresh
cup of coffee and a doughnut at a supermarket snack bar or coffee shop. Therefore, it is
obvious that supermarkets with their variety of products and services are more popular today.
Well, I think that’s all about supermarkets.

46 UNIT 1 Report
The text is called a report text in written form.
A report text describes the way things are, with reference to a range of natural,
man-made and social phenomenon in our environment. It may contain descriptions, but it
often does more than describing phenomenon (a thing, event or situation). It also
classifies information. It has a logical sequence of facts that are stated without any
personal involvement (personal opinion) from the writer. In informational report, the tense
is timeless present. It means, the action always happens in the way in which it is
described, e.g. Human needs oxygen to breathe. You can find informational report in
textbooks, research assignments, lectures, reference articles, etc.

The structure of a report text is:


● general classification. It tells what the phenomenon under discussion is.
● description. It tells what the phenomenon under discussion is like in terms of parts;
qualities; habits or behaviors (if living) and uses (if non-natural).

The significant features of a report text are:


● focus on generic participants,
● use of the simple present tense to indicate ‘timeless’ nature of information,
● no temporal sequence, e.g. at first, and then, after that and finally,
● noun phrases are used rather than personal pronouns and the use of personal
pronouns is limited,
● some reports use technical vocabulary or scientific terms, e.g. species, oxygen, etc,
● using verbs of being and having (are, is, am, have, has) rather than action verbs
(sell, buy, use, take, etc.), and
● descriptive language is used (factual rather than imaginative e.g. language for
describing color, shape, size, body parts, habits, behaviors, functions, uses, etc.).

Info for teachers:


There are several steps to make a report text as follow.
1. Choose a subject for your report.
2. Make a list of questions about your subject that require facts for answers.
3. Research your subject. You can obtain information by using your school or local
library, searching the Internet, interviewing people and reading newspapers or
magazines.
4. Write the answers based on the information you have found during your research.
5. Organize your notes into the order in which you want to present your informational
report.
6. Write your first draft as an outline. It means writing the topic sentences and
putting a list of supporting points to make a paragraph.
7. Check that your draft contains facts, describes your subject, gives details about
your subject, uses a new paragraph to introduce new information, uses the
timeless present tense and uses the technical language related to the subject.
8. Use the informational report scaffold (general structure), which consists of general
classification and description to write your finished piece of text.
9. Read your final result to check for any mistake and revise it.
10. Publish or present your report.

The pattern number 4 is different from the patterns number 1, 2 and 3. In number 4, both
comes after the subject and before the verb. In numbers 1, 2 and 3, both comes after the
verb. Notice the parallel structure in the examples. The same grammatical form (nouns,
verbs, adjectives, adverbs) should follow each word of the pair (both . . . and . . .).

● . . . both + adverb + and + adverb + . . .
● . . . both + adjective + and + adjective +. . .
● . . . both + verb + and + verb + . . .

Info:
● When two subjects are connected by not only . . . but also . . ., the subject that is
closer to the verb determines whether the verb is singular or plural.
● Two subjects connected by both . . . and . . . take a plural verb.
Examples:
1. Not only Radit but also Nova is at school now.
2. Both Radit and Nova are at school now.

Retell the text using your own words.
A beach is gently a sloping strip of land bordering an ocean or other
body of water. It is formed by the action of rivers, waves, currents, tides
and wind. They are usually covered with sand.
Beaches change shape from day to day and season to season.
Waves, tides, currents and the wind sometimes broaden a beach by
depositing sand and sometimes narrow a beach by carrying sand away.
Beaches along the ocean are divided into a foreshore and a
backshore. The steepest part of the foreshore is called the beach face.
Some beaches consist primarily of materials derived from one kind of
rock, which may give the beach a distinctive color. Coral or limestone
produces white sand, and quartz usually produces yellowish sand.
Sands formed from volcanic rock are black.

body of water. You know, the action of rivers, waves, currents, tides and wind form a beach. One
thing for sure, beaches are usually covered with sand.
Well, beaches change shapes from time to time. It’s all because of the movement of waves,
tides, currents and the wind. Those things both broaden a beach by depositing sand and narrow it
by carrying sand away.
I’ll tell you. There are two kinds of beaches, . . .a foreshore and a backshore. On the
foreshore, the steepest part is called the beach face.
Let’s talk about the beach composition. Well, some beaches consist primarily of materials
derived from one kind of rock. For example, coral or limestone produces white sand, quartz often
produces yellowish sand volcanic rock gives black color. No wonder, there are some beaches to
have different color with the others.
Well then, that’s all I can tell you about beaches. Thanks for listening.

● Underground railways are also called subways, metros or even just tubes.
● Here are three kinds, open-cut, cut-and-cover, and tube.
● Open-cut subways are built by digging rectangular ditches in streets like much of New York’s
subway.
● Cut-and-cover subways are when an open-cut subway is covered again with a road or
pavement.
● Tubes are deep, round tunnels created by boring through the ground, like most of London’s
lines.
● Underground railways avoid people from the heavy traffic found in city centers.

Hello, friends. In this occasion, let me tell you about underground railways. Um, have you ever
seen how an underground railway looks like? Well, . . . it looks like this. It is under ground and it is
usually found in urban areas. Sometimes, people call it subway, metro or just tube. There are three
kinds of underground railway. First of all, it is open-cut subway. It is built by digging rectangular

A. Read the text with proper pronunciation and intonation.

A ballroom is a large room inside a building. The designated purpose of which is holding
formal dances is called balls. Traditionally, most balls were held in private residences; many
mansions contain one or more ballrooms. In other large houses, a large room such as the main
drawing room, long gallery or hall may double as a ballroom, but a good ballroom should have the
right type of floor.
Ballrooms are generally quite large, and may have ceilings higher than other rooms in the
same building. The large amount of space for dancing, as well as the highly formal tone of events
have given rise to ballroom dancing. The largest balls are now nearly always held in public
buildings, and many hotels have a ballroom. They are also designed large to help the sound of
orchestras carry throughout the whole room.

Hotels
People sometimes need hotels if they travel far from homes. They sometimes need hotels
when they arrive in cities late at night and they do not have any relatives there.
Hotels are places that provide lodging and usually meals and various personal services for the
public. A good hotel provides many comforts and conveniences. Hotels with hundreds of rooms are
common. People can find the advertisements of hotels in newspapers, brochures, the Internet and
magazines.
Downtown hotels survive and prosper because of two important factors. First, business
travelers wish to stay close to the offices or industrial plants they plan to visit. Second, the location
of the airport is close to the hotels. As the pace of jet travel grows, hotels spring up near airports.
Some travelers stay at airport inns when their flights are delayed. To save time, business
executives often select airport hotels for meetings or conferences. Once the plane lands, the hotel
is only minutes away.

after school?
house because I have to
pick up my little sister.
I see.
But, I can come to

Great! I’ll evening after I do my
wait. homework.

The words “because” and “after” are called subordinating conjunctions.


Subordinating conjunctions are words that introduce adverb clauses. We use subordinating
conjunctions to join dependent clauses with independent (main) clauses.

100 UNIT 2 Procedure


There are many subordinating conjunctions. Before, after and when are subordinating
conjunctions that show time. Meanwhile, because is a subordinating conjunction that shows
cause and effect.
● After means later in time.
● Before means earlier than.
● When means at or during the time that.
● Because means for the reason that.
Patterns:

Subject + verb + . . . + before/after/when/because + subject + verb + . . . .

Before/After/When/Because + subject + verb + , + subject + verb + . . . .

Examples:
1. I always take a bath after I make my bed in the morning.
2. We can’t understand our teacher’s explanation because he speaks too fast.
3. Before the first class begins, the students usually have a talk outside their classroom.
4. When you called me last night, I was sleeping.

Coordinating Conjunctions: And, But, Or

Read the dialog and understand the explanation.

What do you think of


my new jacket? I think it’s beautiful,
but old fashioned.

Perhaps you’re
right, but I like it.

The word but is a coordinating


conjunction. Coordinating conjunctions are
used to connect words or phrases that have
the same grammatical function in
a sentence.

The other coordinating conjunctions are and, or. Here are their functions.
● And is used to connect words of the same part of speech, phrases or clauses.
● But is used to link words that have different or contrasting meanings.
● Or is used to show a choice.
Examples:
1. The rich man has many houses and cars.
2. The watch is beautiful but cheap.
3. Do you want to eat fried rice or fried noodles?

Conditional Sentences Type 1

Read the dialog and understand the explanation.

What will you do if


you win the contest? If I win the contest,
I will treat you for lunch.

The sentence “If I win the contest, I will


treat you for lunch.” is a conditional
sentence type 1.
Conditional sentences type 1 (or if
clauses type 1) are used for talking
about possibilities in the present or in the
future.
Patterns:

If + subject + verb base, subject + will + verb base

Subject + will + verb base + if + subject + verb base

Examples:
1. If you share your problem with me, I will try to help.
2. If I have spare time, I will show you how to make this handicraft.
3. Our headmaster will punish us if we skip school.

How to Make the Bird of Paradise Napkin
5 Fold the right corner diagonally towards you–laying it down along the centerline of the
triangle, making a new tip pointing towards you. An iron can make this important fold
a whole lot easier.
9 This bird’s almost ready to fly, but first you must give it some feathers. While holding the
base firmly to keep your folds together, pull up the four ‘flaps’ created by the napkin’s
corners.
1 Lay the napkin face down in front of you.
3 Fold the napkin in half diagonally, creating a triangle.
6 Do the same with the left corner, fold it diagonally toward you and press it down next to the
previous fold.
8 Fold the triangle in half by bringing the center seam towards you and allowing the ends to
fall.
4 Orient the triangle so the open tip is facing away from you.
10 Pretty cool fold, isn’t it? This fold can be difficult if you don’t use an iron or have a fairly stiff
napkin, so be prepared to put a few minutes into making each one.
2 Fold the napkin in quarters.
7 Fold the two “wings” that you have just made in folds 5 and 6 under so that you have your
original triangle shape back. Once again, an iron can make a world of difference.

2. How to Create a Password on Computer


Password is very important to protect our computer, especially the files in it. It’s not
difficult to create a password. I’ll tell you how to create a Windows XP password.
Steps:
● Click on the “Start” button, on the Windows taskbar.
● Click on “Control Panel”. If “Control Panel” is not visible, try clicking on “Settings”, then
“Control Panel”.
● Find “User Accounts” and click on that option.
● Choose an account from the list on the bottom.
● Select the second option, which will be “Create a Password”.
● Type in a new password and then type it again on the second line. Passwords are capital
sensitive, so if your password is ArFikn, the A and the F needs to be capitalized when you
log in.
● Put a password hint on the third line. This hint will remind you what your password is. But
because it’s visible to everyone that goes on the computer (on the log in screen), don’t be
too obvious if it’s a family computer.
● Click on “Create Password”. Log off or restart the computer for it to work.

Hello, everyone. I’m going to tell you about drought. Do you know what it is? Well, . . . a drought
is an extended period of months or years when a region notes a deficiency in its water supply.
Generally, this occurs when a region receives consistently below average precipitation.
Drought can have a substantial impact on the ecosystem and agriculture of the certain region.
Although it can persist for several years, even a short drought can also cause significant damage
and harm the local economy. This global phenomenon has a widespread impact on agriculture.
The United Nations estimates that an area of fertile soil in the size of Ukraine is lost every year
because of drought, deforestation and climate instability. Lengthy periods of drought have triggered
mass migration in Africa in this last decade and in various other parts of the world for thousands of
years.

A. Read the text.
Identify its text structure.
Ecosystem
An ecosystem is a community of living things interacting with each other and their
surroundings. It can be anything from a piece of rotting wood to a huge swamp.
In every ecosystem, each organism depends on the others. When vegetation colonizes an
area, the first plants to grow there are small and simple, such as mosses and lichens. Grass and
sedges appear next. The simple plants stabilize the soil so that bigger and more complex plants
can move in. This is called vegetation succession.
Rainforest ecosystems cover only 8% of the world’s plant and animal species.
Green plants are autothrops, or producers, which means they make their own food. Animals
are heterotrophs, or consumers, which means they get their food from other living things. Primary
consumers are herbivores that eat plants. Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat herbivores
or each other.
Farming has a huge effect on natural ecosystems. It reduces the number of species
dramatically.

Tsunami
A tsunami is a series of waves created when a body of water, such as an ocean, is rapidly
displaced.
Earthquakes, mass movements above or below water, some volcanic eruptions and other
underwater explosions, landslides, underwater earthquakes, large asteroid impacts and detonation
of nuclear weapons at sea all have the potential to generate a tsunami. Due to the volumes of
water and energy involved, the effects of tsunami can be devastating. Since meteorites are small,
they will not generate tsunami.
The Greek historian Thucydides was the first to relate tsunami to submarine quakes, but
understanding of the nature of tsunami remained slim until the 20th century and is the subject of
ongoing research. Many early geological, geographic, oceanographic texts refer to “seismic sea
waves”. These are now referred to as “tsunami(s)”.
Some meteorological storm conditions, deep depressions causing cyclones or hurricanes, can
generate a storm surge which can be several meters above normal tide levels. This is due to the
low atmospheric pressure within the center of the depression. As these storm surges come ashore,
the surge can resemble a tsunami. Inundating vast areas of land are not always tsunami.

Acid Rain
All rain is slightly acidic, but air pollution can turn rain into harmful acid rain.
Chemicals from burning fossil fuels in power stations and vehicles exhausts build up in the
atmosphere. They combine with water to form acid rain.
When acid rain falls on forests and in lakes, it can cause serious damages to local
ecosystems. It can harm and kill plants and fish. Acid rain can cause trees to grow more slowly, or
even die. Acid rain can build up in lakes and poison plant life. It also dissolves stone and corrodes

Rock Music
Rock music is part of popular music today. It is played and listened in almost every
countries in the world. Rock and roll was the name given to the music that developed in the early
1950’s. It is believed that the term rock and roll was first used by a disk jockey, Alan Freed.
In 1955, records of a young singer from Tennessee, Elvis Presley, were heard across the
US. After he appeared on nation-wide television, Elvis Presley’s singing and performing style
came to mean rock and roll all over the world. Then, came Bill Haley and The Comets. Rock
mainly became the music of the young. They understood its beat and sound as well as its lyrics.
The 1970’s were the time of big developments in the rock industry. Rock became a very big
business, earned more money annually than any other form of entertainment including the film
industry.

The Chinese Influence in Indonesian Visual Art
Chinese culture played a truly significant role in the development of visual art in Indonesia;
although, not as strong as the Hindu, Buddhist or Muslim influences. Many Chinese culture
forms of artistic expressions were adapted and assimilated into indigenous forms. The Chinese
influence was restricted to an adapted form.
The architectural elements in some temples for example, reveal Chinese influence. It is
identical to the original models found in mainland China. In Gianyar Bali, strong links between
the Chinese and local people are evidenced by the Chinese-style roofing on the palace that was
rebuilt at the end of the last century. In Cirebon, Chinese designs were copied by local ceramics
and paintings. Chinese influence also occurs in textile, furniture and household objects.

The Amazing Night Flyers
Did you know that a bat is a mammal? A bat has fur or hair on its body. A baby bat is born live.
The babies nurse from their mom. Bats have arms, hands and feet. They are warm-blooded.
Bats produce high-pitched sounds. These sounds cannot be heard by humans or other
animals. The sound waves bounce off the food they hunt, such as insects, then back to the bats,
telling the bats where the food is.
Most bats sleep during the day, hanging upside down in caves or other dark places. Many
bats find trees to be the perfect place to roost and spend time taking care of their babies. Some
bats actually live under big leaves. By using camouflage they can hide from harm and danger.

PG PR Bahasa Inggris Kelas IX Semester 1 203


There are other bats that roost under the bark of trees, while still others just hang from the
branches.
Bats are very helpful animals. They help farmers to control the insect population, reseed cut
forests, and pollinate plants that provide food for humans. People learn about sonar from bats.
Bats are different from birds. Birds are hatched from eggs. Birds have feathers, not fur or
hair. Babies are fed from mom’s mouth. They have wings, but no hands and fingers.
So, are bats and birds different? Yes, they are. A bat is the only mammal that can truly fly
even though it is not a bird! Aren’t bats really amazing?

Astronaut
The word astronaut comes from the Greek, astron meaning ‘star’ and nautes meaning
sailor. Astronauts are the men and women who pilot, navigate and fly in spacecraft. Russian
‘star sailors’ are called cosmonauts, kosmos means ‘universe’.
The first space flight was made in 1961 by the Russian, Yuri Gagarin. It lasted almost just
over 89 minutes. The first woman in space was also Russian, Valentina Tereshkova. In 1963,
her flight lasted almost three days. The first ‘space walk’ was made by another Russian, Aleksei
Leonove, in 1965, though he was still tethered by a line to his space craft. It was nineteen years
later, in 1984, that the American Bruce McCandless made the first, independent excursion in
space. The oldest of all the space travelers so far is the American Karl Henize, who was fifty-
eight during his flight in 1985.
Astronauts have to undergo extensive training before they are allowed into space. As there
is no gravity in space, they have to become accustomed to the sensation of weightlessness and
to learn how to walk and to eat and to drink when their food could be floating along in front of
them. Some people who have wanted to become astronauts have been unable to do so because
weightlessness has made them ill.

Newspapers
I’ve once heard someone who said that “All I know is what I read in newspapers.” This is
an uncommon expression, but I’m sure it is true that newspapers are important sources of
information. Many people begin their day by reading the papers. In this way they learn what is
going on in the world. However, sometimes they don’t have time to read the news carefully and
must be satisfied with a quick look at the front page; at other times they may be in such a hurry
that they only have time to glance at the headlines.
There are newspapers to satisfy every reader. In big cities there are many types of papers,
with several different editions every day. Some years ago, in small towns there were fewer
newspapers and perhaps only one edition each day, but now the situation is different. In some
areas, the papers are printed weekly.
Most newspapers have several sections, especially on Sunday when the edition is larger than
usual. There are, in addition to the front page with the most important news, the sports section, the
society page, the comics, the amusement section, the business page and the editorial.
Another type of publication which helps people keep informed is a magazine. Some
magazines are published weekly; others are issued monthly. There are news magazines and
magazines for special interests such as photography, sport, art and music. Some are primarily
for men, others for women, and there is a selection of children magazines too.

Tornado
A tornado is defined by the Glossary of Meteorology as “a violently rotating column of air,
in contact with the ground, either pendant from a cumuliform cloud or underneath a cumuliform
cloud, and often visible as a funnel cloud . . . .”. In practice, for a vortex to be classified as
a tornado, it must be in contact with both the ground and the cloud base. Scientists have not yet
created a complete definition of the word. There is disagreement as to whether separate
touchdowns of the same funnel constitute separate tornadoes.
A tornado is not necessarily visible. However, the intense low pressure caused by the high
wind speeds and rapid rotation due to cyclostrophic balance usually causes water vapor in the
air to become visible as a condensation funnel. The tornado is the vortex of wind. It is not the
condensation cloud.
Occasionally, several tornadoes are spawned from the same large-scale storm system.
If there is no break in activity, this is considered a tornado outbreak; although, there are various
definitions. A period of several successive days with tornado outbreaks in the same general area
which is spawned by multiple weather systems is a tornado outbreak sequence, occasionally
called an extended tornado outbreak.

Earth’s Atmosphere
Earth’s atmosphere extends about 6,000 miles (9,600 kilometers) above the surface of
Earth, where we live. Most of our weather comes from winds, temperature changes and water
vapor in the layer nearest Earth’s surface. This layer is called the troposphere. Most of the
clouds you see in the sky are floating in the troposphere.
The stratosphere is the layer above the troposphere. Jet airplanes fly in the stratosphere
because there are few clouds. Earth’s ozone layer is in the stratosphere. The ozone layer
absorbs harmful rays from the Sun. These harmful rays would probably destroy life if they
reached Earth’s surface.
The atmosphere gets thinner and thinner in the next layers up, the mesosphere and
thermosphere. The top layer of Earth’s atmosphere is the exosphere. The atmosphere ends
here, about 6,000 miles (9,600 kilometers) above Earth’s surface.

UFO
An unidentified flying object (UFO) is any light or object seen in the sky that can’t be
explained.
Hundreds of UFO sightings are reported every year. More than nine-tenths of them are later
identified as ordinary objects. They might be planes, satellites or planets. They might be
balloons, kites, clouds, or birds. Some are deliberate fakes. But some UFOs remain unidentified.
So some people believe that they come from other planets. Some even claim to have met aliens
and been brought aboard their spacecraft. It is indeed possible that intelligent life might exist
somewhere beyond the solar system. But no one has ever produced proof of visitors from outer
space. No photograph of a spaceship has ever been accepted as genuine.

What is the Significance of Rabbits’ Large Ears?
A rabbit is a small fury mammal with a short tail and pointed ears. Rabbits live in burrows in
the ground. Each burrow is the home of a single family. The first fossils which can be attributed
to this family came from North America, but now they are found in every part of the world.
Compared to its small body, rabbit has large-sized ears.
A rabbit is a weak and timid animal and is always surrounded by many enemies. Therefore,
nature has gifted it with large ears to help it to hear even the fun of drop sound. The large area
of the ear catches almost every sound wave produced in the air and transfers them into the inner
ear. This makes the rabbit to detect its enemies in time and run to safety zones.
You must have noticed that a rabbit washes its ears by repeatedly licking its forepaws and
rubbing them over the surface of its ears. It does this in order to keep its ears clean, and also to
take into its mouth natural oil which surrounds the ear surface. This oil is important in forming
vitamin D which is necessary for the growth of healthy bones. If the rabbit is not allowed to form
this, it will develop rickets.

Plants
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 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 non-flowering plants have spores growing on the leaves. When they are dry, they 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.
