There is a long-running debate on the benefits of homework. The purpose of homework is to

bridge the gap between children’s learning at school and at home, but just how relevant is it to

tertiary study and eventually the workforce. Homework, also allows teachers to track students’
progress, meaning that they can spot when a child is struggling with content or falling behind
the rest of the cohort. It also helps improving the memory. However, homework eats up the

Mobile phones seem to be everywhere now and the devices are now in the hands of many kids
and teenagers. However, are they really necessary at schools? While this is great for those
techno geeks, it does mean they offer far more of a distraction to kids than they used to.
Nowadays, children cannot only text and make calls with their mobiles, they can also play
game, surf the internet and listen to music. All these could interfere with children’s
concentration to learn if they play with them in class. Also, many, even though they are asked to
do so, forget to turn off their phones during the lessons, meaning they may start to beep, or play
music. This not only frustates and annoys other pupils but also prevents them from learning.
Nonetheless, if the children are in immediatedanger, they can use their phones to call not only
you but the emergency services. This is of great benefit and could potentially save your child’s
life. In addition, it allows you to keep track of their whereabouts. Children, especially teenagers,
can be elusive and can disappear with their friends for hours without notifying anyone. Letting
them have a mobile phone will allow you to know where they are.

I never thought that I would be teaching a class as a senior in high school. My teaching
experience has been incredible and I think I learned as much from the class as the students did.
There are some of many things I learned teaching an adult education class at a teacher collage.
When I was first offered the opportunity to teach an adult education class on teaching english
with technology, I thought it would be a great experience. I knew it would look good on my

would be. I never had to drag myself to class or felt like it was an appalling thing. Before I would
start class, especially for the first few times, I would get very nervous. But I began to really love

I thought that a one month TEFL course and the fact that I am a native speaker of English would
be enough to equip me to teach English. As I started to teach in Nepal, and later in India I slowly
learnt many lessons myself. The most important lesson I learnt was to be genuine and honest
with the students.
Teaching is not simply about entertaining the students, but guiding them honestly and directly
through the maze of learning ahead of them. As an English teacher we are imparting more than
just knowledge, we also impart wisdom. As we stand in front of a class day after day, the
children witness our behaviours both good and bad. The teacher has the task of showing them
how to learn effectively, and so the teacher must look to herself (I use this to mean both
genders) first and at the methods she employs indeveloping and prsenting both the lessons and
herself.

Since the 1970s, one theory that has been popular among schoolteachers and pervasive in
education research literature is the ideas of “learning styles”. The ideas is that students will
learn more if they are exposed to material through approaches that specifically match their
learning style. But in recent years, many academicians have criticized Learning Style saying
there is no evidence it improves students understanding.
Now comes a newly published study of 114 academics in higher education in the United
Kingdom. Their findings are very interesting. It was found while 58 % of the academics
surveyed believe Learning Styles to be beneficial-only 33 % actually used the pedagogical tool.

faculty.

63. Pay attention to the following text!
What is the benefit of tourism for local people? Well, Tourism is now a huge contributor to the
economies of most countries. Tourism industries can bring money, job vacancy and
advancement especially to developing regions. However, this money often goes into the pockets
of foreign investors, and only rarely benefits for local people.

11
 Tourism industries will not give much benefit for local people if, for example, multinational
hotel chains don’t care about the surrounding nature when they build new hotels. This can
cause many social, cultural and geographical problems. Some local people may get job and
money from that International hotel chain. However in case of missing that opportunity, some
of them still have their own environment.
Moreover, some facts show that tourists tend to go, visit and spend their money in restaurants,
bars and even luxury hotels of that multinational chains. They less go to such places; restaurant,
bar, hotel, shop which are owned by local people. This can prevent the local people’s business
from becoming even larger.
Most important thing, tours or excursions of tourism have little effect on nature. Even it can
disrupt or destroy ecosystems and environments, and if it does, the local people will get the
risk.
So the local government policies should be put in place to ensure that tourism will make the
benefit spreading widely. The policies should guarantee that tourism will not cause any harm to
any local people or places.
“Tourism industries will not give much benefit for local people if, for example, multinational
hotel chains don’t care about the surrounding nature ....”
This sentence shows ... relationship
a. conditional c. contrast
b. effect-cause d. cause-effect
A lot of work: a lot of energy and want
64. Pay attention to the following text! to play all of the time

Many people who are looking to get a pet dog get a puppy. There are many reasons why people
get puppies. After all, puppies are cute, friendly, and playful. But even though puppies make
good pets, there are good reasons why you should consider getting an adult dog instead.
When you get a puppy, you have to teach it how to behave. You have to make sure that the
puppy is housebroken so that it does not go to the bathroom inside the house. You have to teach
the puppy not to jump up on your guests or chew on your shoes. You have to train the puppy to
walk on a leash. This is a lot of work.
On the other hand, when you get an adult dog, there is a good chance that it will already know
how to do all of the previously mentioned things. Many adult dogs have already been
housebroken. Many adult dogs will not jump on or chew things that you do not want them to
jump on or chew. Many adult dogs will be able to walk on a leash without pulling you to the
other side of the street.
Puppies also have a lot of energy and want to play all of the time. This can be fun, but you might
not want to play as much as your puppy does. Puppies will not always sleep through the night
or let you relax as you watch television.
On the other hand, most adult dogs will wait on you to play. What is more, they will sleep when
you are sleeping and are happy to watch television on the couch right beside you.
There is one last reason why you should get an adult dog instead of a puppy. When most people
go to the pound to get a dog, they get a puppy. This means that many adult dogs spend a lot of
time in the pound, and some never find good homes. So if you are looking to get a dog for a pet,
you should think about getting an adult dog. They are good pets who need good homes.
The author apparently thinks that puppies are ....
a. not as cute as adult dogs c. bad pets because they take too much work to own
b. not as playful as adult dogs d. friendly, playful, and a lot of work
65. Pay attention to the following text!
Corruption is common everywhere in the world, even in the United States. It’s just a matter of
intensity. However, it is quite shocking when one reliable survey claims Jakarta as the most
corrupt place in Indonesia.
The survey has made me sad, actually, because I stay and earn a living here in the capital. As
most people know, Tanjung Priok port smuggling is not a new thing at all. Entrepreneurs who
want to minimize their tax payments tend to do such a thing more often. They even bribe the
officials.

12
 Well, I think the measures taken so far to overcome the problem by punishing the corruptors is
still not far enough. We have to prevent the younger generations from getting a bad mentality
caused by corruption.
I believe we should start at the earliest stages in school and I think everyone should be involved
in the effort to eradicate corruption. We must not make any distinction.
“They even bribe the officials”.
What is the antonym of the word “bribe”?
a. Induce. d. Restore.
b. Corrupt. e. Harm.
c. Persuade.

67. Pay attention to the following text!
Do you know that most schools and colleges strongly recommend students to have computers
to help them achieve better results of learning. With computer connected to internet, students
can learn English online. They can make reports easily by using word processing software.
They can play game to get of boredom. However, a computer can also give negative impacts for
a student.
One thing that makes a computer useful is that students can use it to finish some assignments
from schools. By connecting to internet, they can easily surf and find any materials related to
their lessons and assignments. They have unlimited resources from all over the worlds. Online
libraries are open. A lot of book are free to download and read online. Finding friends from
related field of study is not difficult anymore. They can work together to boost their best
achievement. What more benefit is they can do all of that just by sitting on the a chair of their
rooms. What amazing world it is, isn’t?
Although a computer has many benefits, it should be considered deeply. A computer certainly
does not promote students to do and move more. A computer make students have less physical
activities. Even not few of them forget to have lunch while they are playing certain game. They
just sit in front of monitors. They are caught up in the mystique of the smart machines. In short,
students who usually work with computers tend to have a few physical activities and exercises.
So what should students do? Should they avoid using computers? Of course “No”. Computer will
make even greater benefits if physical activities are also promoted to done by the students.
“Students are caught up in the mystique of the smart machines.” It means that ....
a. computer will make even greater benefit if physical activities are also promoted to be
done by the students
b. computers can also give negative impacts for a student
c. students who usually work with computers tend to have a few physical activities and
exercises
d. students who usually work with computers can search many things

Nuclear Power Plant
Nuclear power is generated by using uranium which is a metal mined in various part of the
world. The advantages of nuclear plant are as follow: It costs about the same coal, so it is not
expensive to make. It does not produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it does not contribute to
the greenhouse effect. It produces huge amounts of energy from small amount of uranium. It
produces small amount of waste. It is reliable.

15
On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried for
many years to allow the radioactivity to die away. Furthermore, although it is reliable, a lot of
money has to be spent on safety because it if does go wrong, a nuclear accident can be a majr
accident.
