The glorious Idul Fitri day may be over but the holiday atmosphere is still high in the
air. As an addition to the annual mudik custom, many people use his national holiday as an
opportunity to explore some unfamiliar places and embark on a family holiday.
Approaching the end of the Muslim festive season, travel search site, Wego, has
recently revealed insights into Indonesian travel trends for this year’s Idul Fitri. Wego
Indonesia managing director Graham Hills said that Indonesians searched for domestic trips
is greater in numbers this year.
“Domestic travel trends more than tripled this year. Yogyakarta took over from last
year’s top destination of Bandung for hotel searches, and the city features as one of the most
notable movers this year, increasing 78 percent over 2014,” Hills explained.
He also said that even though Bali featured as the number one domestic destination
for the past two years, this year the island only occupied the fourth position with flight
searches to Yogyakarta escalating by 342 percent.
Regarding accommodation options, Indonesians tended to seek higher ranked
properties, while taking advantage of cheaper airfares. In 2014, more than half of Wego’s
Indonesian users sought three-star accommodation listings, but surprisingly this year we’ve
seen a shift toward higher rated hotels. Domestic airfare searches rallied in mid-June, and

Announcement
To all students of Merdeka Vocational School, Art Contest and Exhibition will be started
on Monday, 22 August 2016.
The students must register themselves in student council room by Friday, 19 August 2016
at 2 p.m.

41. What is the topic of the announcement ?

Questions no 42 to 45 refer to the following text.

Toronto is one of the largest cities in Canada. It is located in the province of Ontario. The special
feature of Toronto is their downtown area that is located underground. It covers about twelve
square kilometers with many shops and buildings. There are five major shopping centers and a
convention center with hotels. A subway and underground passageways connect these buildings
with each other and the street above.

The city’s architectural design is up to date and suits the weather in Toronto since the temperature
fluctuates widely from summer to winter by as much as 40 degrees celcius within a year. This
underground area has also helped to keep business in the city center instead of moving out to the
suburbs, which is happening in many other cities. We think that makes Toronto a special place.

42. What is the benefit of reading this information for people who visit the city for the first
time?
43. What is the main idea of paragraph one?
44. What is so special about Toronto as a city?
45. How can visitors travel from one place to the others in Toronto?
