hold a friendly match with Taruna High School in Perjuangan Sports Center.
How about watching them after school?
Dian : I’m afraid I can’t. You know we will have an English test tomorrow, so I
want to spend the whole evening studying English. I’m far behind the
others in English, so I need to catch up. I don’t want to get a poor grade
tomorrow.
Doni : Well, okay. I understand. Or, maybe you want me to come by your house
after the match and help you study?
Dian : No, thank you. Don’t bother. I can manage myself. I’ve got enough books
that can help me.
Doni : Well, good luck, my friend!

Activity 5
Read the following text. Find out the cause and its effects. Remember that one
cause can have several effects.

POVERTY
Poverty has serious effects for all of the society but they are felt most profoundly
by children who are raised among it. Not only does poverty have an effect on a
child’s health—low birth weights, mental and physical disabilities from lack of
nutrition in the womb, etc.—but on their ability to thrive independently in the world.

The children of poverty are more likely to miss school and eventually drop out
altogether to start work or due to lack of interest. They also carry much more stress
than their middle-class peers. That stress may be compacted with the inclusion of
other family stresses prevalent in poverty-stricken families. These can include
violence, drug and alcohol abuse, depression, job loss, eviction, the incarceration of
one or more of the guardians, and even witnessing death.

Total homelessness—extreme poverty—often leads to death due to improper

nutrition, lack of immunization or medicine, or complications with addiction.
Homeless women, in particular, are at a high risk of miscarriages and infant mortality
when homelessness keeps them from accessing adequate prenatal care.
