much as possible. My friend stayed in Kuta on arrival. He spent the first three days swimming
and surfing on Kuta beach. He visited some tour agents and selected two tours. The first one was
to Singaraja, the second was to Ubud.
On the day of the tour, he was ready. My friend and his group drove on through mountains.
Singaraja is a city of about 90 thousands people. It is a busy but quiet town. The street are lined
with trees and there are many old Dutch houses. Then they returned very late in the evening to
Kuta.
The second tour to Ubud was a very different tour. It was not to see the scenery but to see the

my friend watched young boys were carving away at big blocks of stone. The next stop was
Celuk, a center for silversmiths and goldensmiths. After that he stopped a little while for lunch at

My friend ten-day-stay ended very quickly beside his two tour, all his day was spent on the
beach. He went sailing or surfboarding every day. He was quiet satisfied.

Cinderella
Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived with her step mother
and two step sisters.
The step mother and sisters were conceited and bad tempered. They treated Cinderella very
badly. Her step mother made Cinderella do the hardest works in the house; such as scrubbing the
floor, cleaning the pot and pan and preparing the food for the family. The two step sisters, on the
other hand, did not work about the house. Their mother gave them many handsome dresses to
wear.
One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that the king’s son was going to
give at the palace. They were excited about this and spent so much time choosing the dresses
they would wear. At last, the day of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella
could not help crying after they had left.
“Why are crying, Cinderella?” a voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy godmother
standing beside her, “because I want so much to go to the ball” said Cinderella. “Well” said the
godmother,”you’ve been such a cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I am going to see
that you do go to the ball”.
Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and mice into a
coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderella’s raged dress with her wand, and
it became a beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. “Now,
Cinderella”, she said; “You must leave before midnight”. Then away she drove in her beautiful
coach.
Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and again with the
king’s son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she ran toward the door as quickly as she
could. In her hurry, one of her glass slipper was left behind.
A few days later, the king’ son proclaimed that he would marry the girl whose feet fitted
the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper but it was too small for them, no matter how
hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end, the king’s page let Cinderella try on the slipper.
She stuck out her foot and the page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly.
Finally, she was driven to the palace. The king’s son was overjoyed to see her again.
They were married and live happily ever after.

The Importance of Breakfast
Why is breakfast important? “Breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Prince and Dine like a
Pauper” It’s a well known phrase, but do you follow it?
Breakfast provides many benefits to our health and wellbeing. Breakfast provides the
body and brain with fuel after an overnight fast – that’s where its name originates, breaking the
fast! Without breakfast you are effectively running on empty, like trying to start the car with no
petrol!
Breakfast support cognitive function. Breakfast also restores glucose levels, an essential
carbohydrate that is needed for the brain to function. Breakfast provides energy, studies have
shown how eating breakfast can improve memory and concentration levels and it can also make
us happier as it can improve mood and lower stress levels.
Breakfast provides energy needs. People’s energy needs vary depending on activity levels
and life stage but typically men require more energy than women. Growing children require a lot
of energy, as an example boys aged 7-10 years should consume approximately 1970 kcals per
day, and girls aged 7-10 years should consume approximately 1740 kcals.

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been serious problem
for three reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimens and
experiments. Formalin in Biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually
used as a disinfectant or to preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservatives.
Of course when it is used for food preservative, it will be very dangerous to human’s body.
The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This condition
makes the people’s health is really in a threat. When the control is weak and the use formalin
was spread wide all over the Indonesian regions, and these days it has really happened, the
citizen's bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their
products which contain formalin and dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our
digestive system absorbs the substance that should be for the human and animal corpses?
Considering the reasons, we can make a conclusion that the use of formalin and other
preservatives is really a serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.

Example
Should Americans be forced to Public Transportation?
First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should we
all abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is
it as
king if every American should do so. It is asking weather some Americans should have to
take public transit some of the time, and I would say yes.
Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York there just isn’t
room for any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow, they need more people to
take public transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One bus can safely hold 40 people so
even at half capacity that’s nearly 20 cars’ worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly
20 parking spaces that don’t need to built.
There are a lot of people that can take with transit little inconvenience but simply don’t
because they never have in the past. If residents in areas with plenty of transit had to buy
transit passes as part of their property taxes then they would have little excuse not to bus
occasionally. QA number of universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition
feeds, forcing their students to take the bus. When given the change the majority of those
students have voted to keep these programs.
A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking
spaces in exchange for a discount on their rent would also be community car to several
apartment tenants that arrange a schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive
reviews.
So yes, I would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as Americans
whom are already forced to do so find that it works well for them.
Exercise
1. What does writer suggest?
A. Americans should learn to use public transportation
B. Americans should give up their car
C. Americans should be forced to use public transportation

2. The following is one of the writer’s suggestions in forcing people to use Public
Transportation ….
A. Make people buy transit passes as part of their property taxes
B. Banning the use of cars
C. Stop automobile productions
D. Fine people who do not use public transportation
E. Limit the number of gasoline
3. What is the purpose of the article?

A. Defining the functions of public transportation
B. Arguing that Americans should not use public transportation
C. Suggesting American the ways to use public transportation
D. Asking for more public transportation
E. Suggesting that Americans should be forced to use public transportation
4. What is the function of the first paragraph?

A. Repeating the thesis or proposal
B. Stating the proposal

7. Personal Letter
 Definition
Personal Letter is a type of letter (or informal composition) that usually concerns
personal matters (rather than professional concerns) and is sent from one individual to
another. It's longer than a dashed-off note or invitation and is often handwritten and sent
through the mail.
1. Address Heading : This is the writer’s full address. Business letters usually have
preprinted, letterhead stationary which contains this information. An address heading is
optional for informal letters.
2. Date : This is the month, day and year that the letter is written on
3. Inside Address : The recipient’s full name and address. Generally, informal letters do
not include an inside address.
*Note: Refer to Addressing Persons of Title when writing letters to these people.
4. Attention : With formal letters, the "Attention: [full name of recipient]" is placed two
vertical spaces below the inside address.
5. Greeting : Also known as the “salutation,” this is the introductory phrase, “Dear [name
of recipient].” Either a comma or a colon can be used at the end of this phrase. Today, a
comma is more extensively used, with the exception of the use of a title (i.e. “Dear
Member:”) and not a proper name. In this case, the use of a colon would be more
appropriate.
*Note: Refer to Addressing Persons of Title when writing letters to these people.
6. Subject line : A word or phrase to indicate the main subject of the letter, which is
preceded by the word “Subject:” or “Re:” (Latin for “matter”). Subject lines may be
emphasized by underlining, using bold font or all capital letters. They can be
alternatively located directly below the "inside address," before the "greeting." Informal
or social letters rarely include a subject line.
7. Body : The complete text of the letter; the subject matter content.
8. Closing : This is the farewell phrase or word that precedes the signature and is
followed by a comma. Closing should reflect a type of farewell or goodbye as the writer
signs off. Examples: “Yours truly,” “Sincerely,” “Respectfully yours,” “Regards,” etc.
*Note: "Thank you," is not considered an appropriate closing for a formal or
business letter.
9. Signature : The signed name of the writer.
10. Identification Line : Formal or business letters include the full name of the writer
printed below the signed name (two vertical spaces below the Closing). It includes the
writer’s professional designations and title with the organization. Directly below that, the
name of the organization which the writer represents.
11. Postscript : Is a brief sentence or paragraph introduced by the initials, “P.S.” (post
scriptus) - Latin for “after having been written.” It implies that the writer, having
completed and signed the letter, had an after-thought. Although this is still commonly
used in informal letters, it is not widely accepted for use in formal or business letters.
12. Notation : Part of a formal or business letter consisting of brief words or

abbreviations as notations.

Dear Frank,   All the best to you for the New Year! How are things going in the Land
of the Rising Sun? I must say, I really envy you getting that Tokyo gig with the company.
Somehow they overlooked me on that one and I am forced to slug it out here through another
frigid and snowy Montreal winter.
Brrrr!   I heard through the grapevine that business is going well there. Rumor has it
that you guys are just about to close a big deal with the Japanese government for an M-750
Simulator. Great news! Good for the company and good for you. Keep up the great work!   
Did you hear about Margie Bronson suddenly leaving the company just before year-end?
It was a bit of a shock to say the least. She gave one week's notice and was gone. Nobody knows
for sure what's up with her but rumors have been flying fast and furious that she went through a
bit of a personal meltdown and has now gone underground to lick her wounds for a while.
There could be some truth to that since her long time relationship ended recently and
three months ago she was passed over for that director position that was up for grabs. I'll keep
you posted when we find out more.   As for me, I am quite busy these days on the
Branscombe Systems Project. We are entering Phase Two now, and that is expected to run for
three years, at least. Frank Schindler is Senior Project Manager and I am Team Leader of the
Embedded Systems Group. I am enjoying it so far. Whether I'll feel the same way in three years,
I'm not sure. By then I might be ready to join you in Japan.   
I'm still kicking butt in the squash court and am managing to get in two or three matches
per week. What about squash in Japan? Have you been able to play any over there? Are there
even any squash courts? I suppose since you are in Tokyo there must be some. Let me know.
  
I have to go now and attend to family duties. Jonathon needs some help with his
homework and Angie wants me to fix something in the kitchen. You single guys traveling the
world sure are lucky!   Keep me posted whenever you can. I really enjoy receiving your
letters and getting the details of your life in Japan.   
Your squash buddy,

Dave

Have we wondered how we get chocolate from? Well this time we will enter the amazing
world of chocolate so we can understand exactly we are eating.
Chocolate starts a tree called cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions, especially
in place such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the
size of a small pine apple. In side the fruits are the tree’s seeds. They are also known as coco
beans.
Next, the beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun. After that they are
shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts processing by roasting the beans to
bring out the flavour. Different beans from different places have different qualities and flavour.
So they are often shorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix.
The next process is winnowing. The roasted beans are winnowed to remove the meat nib
of the cacao bean from its shell. Then the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are grounded to
make it liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter.
All seeds contain some amount of fat and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao
beans are half fat, which is why they ground nibs from liquid. It is pure bitter chocolate.
Question
All human beings eat food and make use of the chemical energy in it, so do all other animals.
Perhaps you wonder where all that chemical energy comes from. Why doesn’t the food all get
used up?
The answer is that new food is being grown as fast as old food is used to. It is the green
plants that form the new food. Animals either eat the plants or eat other animals that have eaten
plants.
The green substance of plants is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll can absorb sunlight. When it does
so, it changes the energy of the sun into chemical energy. The chemical energy present in sunlit
chlorophyll is used to combine dioxide in the air with water from the soil. Starch and other
complicated compounds are formed. These are high in chemical energy obtained from the sunlit
chlorophyll.
They make up the food on which mankind and all other animals live. In the process of
forming this food, some oxygen atoms are left over. These are given off into the air by the plants.
The whole process is called photosynthesis.
Thus, plants use sunlight to from food and oxygen to from carbon dioxide and water again.
Plants change the sun’s energy into chemical energy. And animals change the animal energy into
kinetic and heat energy.

Jellyfish
Have you ever heard about jellyfish? Does it have same meaning with “jelly” and “fish”??
According from the main word, “jelly is one of the food which is made from the jelly grass; or
we can describe that jelly is one of the form of something. And fish is one of the animal which
lives in the water which can swim, has tail, gills and vertebrate animal. And the jellyfish is not a
fish exactly, it is an invertebrate animal which does not have back bone on it. Although it does
not have bones but it can act and swim as fast as the wave.
It lives in the water especially in the sea which taste sour. Jellyfish has a stomach, a mouth
but remember that it does not have a head. How can it adapt and defend itself from the enemy?
The answer is,, it has a special nervous system for sensing the world around it. The body of it is
almost entirely made of water so don’t be shocked if you see the jellyfish like water.
There are some kinds of jellyfish; they are a jellyfish which can live in the darkness and in
the salt water. For the jellyfish in the darkness, it has a light by itself. The usage of is for the
defending in the sea. The enemy will feel scary after knowing it. It live in the deep ocean without
the sunlight anymore. That is why it has own light on its body. Next about the jellyfish which
lives in the salt water, it can be seen in the ocean and also almost in the sea of the world. It looks
so beautiful and easy for looking by our eyes. But we have to remember when we swim in the
sea, we have to be careful because there are some dangerous jellyfish around you. Talking about
them between jellyfish in the darkness and jellyfish in the salt water , they have same body
structure but the difference is for jellyfish in the darkness has own light so will glow in the dark
but jellyfish in the salt water does not have it.
Question
The Incas used to be a large empire of 990.000 km² in Peru of South America. Their city was

freedom.
Boys and girls were to life of obedience and tradition. They began working in their ayllu or
family groups. The rule was Ama sua, ama llulla, ama sheklla, which means, "Do not steal, do
not lie, do not be lazy."
Despite this difficult way of live, the Incas were very skillful. They constructed drainage
system and underground water reservoirs. Their buildings were made from huge stones. These
were cut to flit perfectly together so that no mortar was needed. Their rope bridges were so
strong that even a horse could gallop across them!
The Incas had no written language. Information was recorded on knotted strings called
quipus. These were also used as calculators. Strong and healthy young boys were chosen as
chasquis or couriers to carry messages from one place to another.

Question
Indonesia has embarked on the task of counting its islands in order to better protect its
territory and marine resources. It hopes to locate and name an additional 1,700 islands in time for
the UN Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names in August. Indonesia wants to
claim sovereignty and fishing rights in the waters surrounding the islands, many of which its
neighbors also claim.
The Indonesian government says illegal fishing in its waters is costing billions of dollars in
lost revenue each year. A fisheries spokeswoman told the BBC: "Sixty per cent of islands in
Indonesia don't have a name or officially have legal status, so they can easily be taken or claimed
by another country."
Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago. At the last UN conference on geographical
names in 2012, Indonesia registered 13,466 islands. A law in 1996 estimated that the number of
islands was 17,508. The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea defines an island as, "a naturally
formed area of land, surrounded by water, which is still exposed at high tide".
A spokesman from Indonesia's Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries explained the scale
of the task the counting team had. He said: "We have to visit every one of these islands, and then
we note the coordinates, the name, the meaning of the name, the history of the land and describe
the landscape and its geographical history…all that in great detail."

2. Kalimat Langsung dan Tidak Langsung (Direct and Indirect Speech)
 Definition
Direct speech repeats, or quotes, the exact words spoken. When we use direct speech in
writing, we place the words spoken between quotation marks (" ") and there is no change
in these words. We may be reporting something that's being said NOW (for example a
telephone conversation), or telling someone later about a previous conversation.
Reported or indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change
the tense of the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may
use the word 'that' to introduce the reported words. Inverted commas are not used.
