READING STRATEGY
Example 1
The railroad was not the first institution to impose regularity on society, or to draw
attention to the importance of precise timekeeping. For as long as merchants have
set out their wares at daybreak and communal festivities have been celebrated,
people have been in rough agreement with their neighbors as to the time of day.
The value of this tradition is today more apparent than ever. Were it not for public
acceptance of a single yardstick of time, social life would be unbearably chaotic:
the massive daily transfers of goods, services, and information would proceed in
fits and starts; the very fabric of modern society would begin to unravel.
7
A. In modern society we must make more time for our neighbors.
B. The traditions of society are timeless.
C. An accepted way of measuring time is essential for the smooth functioning
of society.
D. Society judges people by the times at which they conduct certain activities.
The main idea of the passage is that societies need to agree about how time is
measured in order to function smoothly. Therefore, you should choose answer C.
Example 2
Hurricanes generally occur in the North Atlantic from May through November,
with the peak of the hurricane season in September; only rarely will they occur from
December through April in that part of the ocean. The main reason for the
occurrence of hurricanes during this period is that the temperature on the water’s
surface is at its warmest and the humidity of the air is at its highest.
Of the tropical storms that occur each year in the North Atlantic, only about five,
on the average, are powerful enough to be called hurricanes. To be classified as a
hurricane, a tropical storm must have winds reaching speeds of at least 117
kilometers per hour, but the winds are often much stronger than that; the winds of
intense hurricanes can easily surpass 240 kilometers (10) per hour.
8
D. What Happens from May through November
The main idea of the passage is hurricanes in one part of the world. Therefore, you
should choose answer D.
The best title for this passage main idea of the passage is Storms of the Northern
Atlantic. Therefore, you should choose answer B.
Example 3
Evangeline was set during the French and Indian War (1754–1763), when the
British forced French settlers from Nova Scotia; two lovers, Gabriel and
Evangeline, were separated by the British, and Evangeline devoted her lifetime to
the search for Gabriel. With its emphasis on sentimental, undying love, Evangeline
was immensely popular with the public.
In The Song of Hiawatha, Longfellow depicted the noble life of the American
Indian through the story of the brave Hiawatha and his beloved wife Minehaha. The
tear-inspiring poem follows Hiawatha through the tragedies and triumphs of life,
ending with the death of Minehaha and Hiawatha’s departure into the sunset in his
canoe. The Courtship of Miles Standish takes place during the early period of the
settlement of New (15) England, a period which was viewed as a time of honor and
romance. In this poem centered around a love triangle, Miles Standish asks his
friend John Alden to propose to Priscilla Mullins for him; John Alden ends up
marrying Priscilla Mullins himself, and it takes time for his friendship with Miles
Standish to recover. As with Longfellow’s other narrative poems, the emphasis on
high ideals and romance made the poem extremely popular.

4. Which of the following best describes the main idea of the passage?
The best title for this passage main idea of the passage is The popularity of
Longfellow’s poems results from his stress on the values of the people. Therefore,
you should choose answer C.

Passage Three
Passage Four
One of the big programming surprises of the 2002 summer TV series was
a show on the Fox Network called American Idol, a talent search that
highlighted several aspiring performers. The final episode of the show
12
garnered the biggest audience share among 18- to 49-year olds that the
network has ever had. Based on a British series called Pop Idol, American
Idol is another in a long list of shows that the United States has imported. In
fact, many popular U.S. TV shows originated overseas. These include the
quiz shows Who Wants to Be A Millionaire and The Weakest Link, both also
from Britain . Other examples include Survivor, imported from Sweden; Big
Brother , based on a Dutch series of the same name; and TLC's Trading
Spaces, based on the British series, Changing Rooms.

C. READING
B. One way if tackling obesity is to eat less but to eat more healthily. An
average man needed around 2,500 calories per day, while an average woman
requires around 2,000 per day. We should eat a balanced diet which consists
of a variety of foods in order to maintain a healthy weight. A healthy diet
should include approximately 35% fruit and vegetables; 35% carbohydrates,
such as bread, rice, potatoes and pasta (or other starchy food); around 15%
dairy products like milk and cheese; 10% proteins, for example met, fish, eggs
and beans; and only around 5% should be sweet foods- namely cakes or
biscuits- especially those that are high in fat and sugar.
31
READING FOR DETAIL
Reading for detail means
reading the text carefully to
extract important details
which help with
understanding the text.
D. Some people argue that foods that are high in fat, such as pizza and potato
chips, and those high in refined sugar, like chocolate and sweets, should be
taxed. This would make junk food too expensive for people to buy in large
quantities. In Denmark, there is now a tax on products that contain more than
2,3% of saturated fat. However, taxing fast food is difficulty because fast
food is difficult because fast food companies are rich and powerful.

Obesity can reduce life expectancy and lead to serious illness such as

this problem, some governments run
educational programs advertising
campaigns. These educate people about the
dangers of junk food and the
importance of a balanced diet. They also show
people how to find out about the nutritional values of food. Another
important way to tackle obesity is regular exercise, because the more
physical activity we have, the better we feel.

gadgets. There is circumstantial evidence linking a rise in attention
deficit disorder with increased use of video games, causing many
scientists to worry about children causing permanent harm to their
brains by spending too much time interacting with such gadgets.
Persistent use of high-tech gadgetry can lead to a slew of healt h

Video games are definitely fun and entertaining and are also
good for relieving tension. However, too much indulgence can lead to
addiction which, in turn, can have physical as well as psychological
effects on children. (by doralilacs)

What is an Entrepreneur?
Do you have a cool idea for a product? If so, you could be an entrepreneur. An
entrepreneur is someone who decides to create or run a business, even though he
or she might lose some money. Entrepreneurs are often creative, daring people,
and the businesses they operate are very important to communities. Let's find out
about some famous entrepreneurs, and learn how entrepreneurs get started.
Another famous entrepreneur was Madame CJ Walker. She was born in the
1860s, a time when African American women had few rights. In fact, almost
everyone in her family was a slave. When she realized there were no beauty
products available for African Americans, she decided to create her own. Madame
Walker's products were so popular, she wound up earning over a million dollars.
67
How do entrepreneurs get started?
Many great entrepreneurs get started with a process called brainstorming, where
people try to think of as many ideas as possible about products or services they
can create. Once they've decided on a great idea, they make a plan. This may
include creating a timeline of steps they want to take. It can also include involving
people who might be able to support the idea or business, either through money or
time.
Exercise 1
1. What is an entrepreneur?
a. A person who works for someone who owns a business
b. A person who decides to create or run a business
c. A person who buys a successful business
d. A person who teaches business at a college

Read this introduction to a meeting. Try to guess what the chairwoman mean by
the phrases in the bold.
1. Right ... I think we should start now. Robert, Alice ... could you ...? Robert ...?
Thanks.
2. OK, so, is everybody here? Who are we waiting for? Hmmm ... well, I think
we’ll have to make a start without them. We’ve got a lot to get through this
afternoon.
3. Right, well, as you know, the purpose of today’s meeting is to see where we are
with the marketing plan, and to work out what we still need to dobefore the
launch, which is now just six weeks away.
4. By the end of the meeting, we need to have a list of firm action points for the
next month. Hopefully we’ll then need only one more meeting next month to
tie up any remaining loose ends.
5. Did everyone get a copy of the agenda I sent round? OK, good.
6. As I say, we’ve got a lot to get through, so please let’s stick to the agenda. I’ve
set aside two hours for this meeting, and we really can’t afford to run over.
Ideally, we can cover everything in an hour and a half. Does that sound
reasonable?
8. So perhaps we can get the ball rolling by going through the list of action points
from the last meeting.

ADJECTIVES
Adjectives are used with nouns to make the meaning more specific. If you use the
noun ‘bear’ it can mean any animal of that species. As soon as you say ‘a large,
brown bear’ you have given two of its attributes (colour and size). A noun is said
to be modified by its adjectives.Adjectives have two main features:
a tall girl
green grass
Most adjectives can also go after a link verb such as be or seem; this is
known as their predicative use.
Any word that can go into both of these positions is a normal adjective. When
used predicatively (after a link verb), an adjective can either describe the subject
of a sentence,
72
ADJECTIVE ORDER
3. adjectives of colour.
73
beautiful old English half-timbered houses
Adjectives before a noun are not usually separated by and, unless they are
adjectives of colour.
Some adjectives can only be used predicatively (i.e. after a link verb such as be).
Many of the members of this group begin with a-:
The girls were asleep and were not aware of the noise.
There are some adjectives such as devoid (of), intent (on) that always have to have
a following phrase.Although attributive adjectives usually come before the noun
74
that they modify, there are some that can go immediately after the noun,
particularly when they are used with plural nouns, e.g. absent, present, involved,
concerned. When these adjectives are used in this position they may have a
different meaning from the one that they have when they come before the noun.
There are some set phrases which always have an adjective immediately
after the noun.
e.g.
a lion rampant
Adjectives, determiners, and other nouns can all be used to describe a noun more
specifically; that is, they can be used as modifiers. Nouns can also be modified by
prepositional groups (groups of words that begin with a preposition) and relative
clauses added after the noun. To make it simpler to talk about any modifying
word which comes in front of a noun, we can use the term premodifier.
75
my aunt’s house the elephant house
Those modifiers that come after the noun are called postmodifiers.
Exercise 5
8. He is a driver. (careful)
COMPARISON
The comparative form of an adjective is commonly used to compare two people,
things, or states, when you want to say that one thing has a larger or smaller
amount of a quality than another.
76
If the second part of the comparison is mentioned it follows than.
The superlative form is used for more than two people, things, or states, when one
thing has qualities that exceed all the others. Superlative adjectives have the in
front of them, but it can be omitted in predicative positions.
There are two ways in which the comparative and superlative forms of adjectives
are formed:
comparative superlative
You add the word more or most in front of the adjective. Adjectives with
three syllables or more use more or most in front of the adjective.

READING
PRE-READING ACTIVITY
Take a look at the picture and the text below! What can you infer about the old
man?
INFERENCE
When we use inference in reading, we’re “reading between the lines.” We’re
drawing conclusions from the information in a reading passage when the
information being offered is not explicitly stated. This is often the case in fiction.
The author shows a character crying, for instance, and we know what that means.
The author does not have to state: Tess was sad. Nonfiction reading often requires
88
inferences, as well. Ideas are presented and arguments are made, but it is up to us
to draw conclusions from those ideas and arguments.
Making inferences while reading results from a process, one that we, as adults, may
not even be aware of. It starts with a simple reading of the text during which we
look for all the specific details that the author has provided. Once the details are
gathered, they can be assessed to see what understanding they offer us.
INFERENCE QUESTIONS
The Inference Question asks you to answer the question by making a conclusion
from a specific statement contained in the reading. Inference questions usually use
the words implied, inferred, likely or maybe. The answer to this question is
implicit in the reading, and all you have to do is draw conclusions from the
information.

EXAMPLE 1:
London grew up beside the Thames, being founded at a point where the river could
be forded or crossed, Julius Caesar, hoping to conquer Britain, crossed the Thames
in 54 B.C., and Danish pirates often entered the river in later centuries. However,
when times grew more peaceful, the Thames became a London thoroughfare. State
barges carried kings and queens to and from Greenwich Palace and Westminster
Palace. Prisoners were also taken in boats in Traitor’s Gate in the Tower of London.
● It is implied in the passage that if London grew up beside Thames and the
Thames became a London thoroughfare, then the Thames is in ...
a. Ireland
b. America
c. England
d. Germany
The question asks about the country where the Thames are located. In the question
there are two instructions taken from the above reading, namely London grew up
beside the Thames and the Thames became a London thoroughfare. The purpose of
the two information is that London is next to Thames and Thames becomes a road
to London.
EXAMPLE 2:
There was once a small boy named Zack Jamelson, who lived in the village of
Jamaville, in the state of Georgina. Young Jamelson was judged by some of the
villagers to be a little foolish, but he was as clever as any other boy. His friend,
90
George Johnson, liked him very much. In fact, George judged Zack as the most
sensible friend he had ever met.
The question mentioned that some residents considered Jamelson a fool. The word
"some" of course means "not everyone". That way, we can conclude that only a few
people consider Jamelson a fool, while other residents don't think of it that way.
That way, the right answer is D. Other villagers didn't judge him as a little foolish.
2) It can be inferred from the passage that if George Johnson like him very much
and in fact, George judged Zack as the most sensible friend he had ever met, then
it means...
From that question, we know that George Johnson really likes him (Zack Jamelson)
and regards Zack as the most understanding friend he has ever had. This is a
personal advantage Zack recognized by George. Such an opinion would certainly
91
be obtained if the two of them were close friends. So, the right answer is A. They
were best friend.

READING EXERCISES
Instruction:
Passage 1
However, in December 2006, the Constitutional Court struck down the law
creating the anti-corruption court on the grounds that it was not created as part of
The Law on the Courts. The Constitutional Court gave parliament three years to
amend the law and properly constitute the anti-corruption Court under The Law on
the Courts, but allowed the anti- corruption courts to continue to function in the
meantime. The parliament set itself a deadline of March 2009 to pass the new law.
This was the extended to September many legislators have been arrested by the
95
KPK and convicted in the anti- corruption court, leading some to question if the
parliament lacks motivation to pass this law.
The KPK constituently gets convictions in corruption cases, showing what can
be done with clean courts, professional investigation, and effective persecutors. But
this kind of successful cooperation is certainly an exception. Their consistent
convictions raise the bar for the police, the attorney general`s office and the
courts. Indonesia needs coordinated bold leadership if it is to get out of the
corruption quagmire. Better coordination between police and prosecutors is
essential. They should have both the technology and the legal means to obtain wire
taps and recordings the way the KPK does to obtain convictions in corruption cases.
1. The idiom “raise the bar” in paragraph 3 has the same meaning with ...
a. Set the higher standard
b. Add the list duties
c. Provide new objectives
d. Hive more responsibility
96
d. It coordinates the different functions of investigation and persecution
7. According to the passage, what is NOT the element needed to create a clean
government?
a. Bond and honest leadership
b. Reliable and professional ad hoc judges on courts
c. The amendment of Constitutional Court
d. None
97
Passage 2
TI defines corruption as the use of public office for private gain. Decisions
are made not for public benefit but for private interests. Costs incurred are high and
prestigious projects are favored over cost-efficient development projects. Access to
basic social and economic rights such as education, medical care, adequate shelter
and clean water are jeopardized. The environment is threatened and human rights
abuse flourishes. When corruption increases, regimes become more secretive, less
tolerant of dissent and more fearful of the loss of power.
98
brought into the picture as one of the primary aims of each chapter is to raise public
awareness. TI does not believe in broadcasting names or attacking individuals but
on building systems that combat corruption.
To stamp out graft, there are some who believe that the penalties and
consequences that will befall the culprits if found guilty of corruption should be
made known to all. At the same time, a sense of outrage must be developed in
people so that they get angry at corruption because it is about injustice, dishonesty
99
and the impoverishment of many for the benefit of a few. Nurturing such an attitude
can only begin at home. If what makes a person incorruptible are the values he holds
on to -- personal, ethical and religious -- then the home exerts a mighty influence
on inculcating these values in individuals.
Graft must be stamped out. It is insidious and evil and in time to come, will
affect every level of society. It is time for people to stand up and act in a concerted
manner to rid society of this menace. Otherwise there is every possibility that
corruption becomes a way of life undermining justice and fair play and all that is
good in society.

4. What inference can be drawn if countries are not willing to have a TI chapter
set up in their region ?
5. One of the most powerful 'tools' that can ensure success in the efforts of TI
is…..
a. One

STRUCTURE AND LANGUAGE FOCUS
ADVERBS
An adverb is a word that modifies (describes) a verb, an adjective, another adverb,
or even a whole sentence. Adverbs often end in -ly, but some (such as fast) look
exactly the same as their adjective counterparts.
Examples:
102
Adverbs and Verbs
One of the things adverbs do is modify verbs. This means that they describe the
way an action is happening.
The adverbs in each of the sentences above answer the question “in what manner?
How does Phillip sing?” Loudly. “How does my cat wait?” Impatiently. “How will
I consider your suggestion?” Seriously. Adverbs can answer other types of
questions about how an action was performed. They can also tell you “when” and
“where”.
However, there is one type of verb that doesn’t mix well with adverbs. Linking
verbs, such as feel, smell, sound, seem, and appear, typically need adjectives, not
adverbs. A very common example of this type of mixup is:
Because “feel” is a verb, it seems to call for an adverb rather than an adjective. But
“feel” isn’t just any verb; it’s a linking verb. An adverb would describe how you
perform the action of feeling—an adjective describes what you feel. “I feel badly”
means that you are bad at feeling things. If you’re trying to read Braille through
thick leather gloves, then it might make sense for you to say “I feel badly.” But if
you’re trying to say that you are experiencing negative emotions, “I feel bad” is
the correct phrase.
103
Adverbs and Adjectives
Adverbs can also modify adjectives and other adverbs. Often, the purpose of the
adverb is to add a degree of intensity to the adjective.
The adverb almost is modifying the adverb always, and they’re both modifying
right.
You can use an adverb to describe another adverb. In fact, if you wanted to, you
could use several.
The problem is that it often produces weak and clunky sentences like the one
above, so be careful not to overdo it.
104
accordingly. Sentence adverbs don’t describe one particular thing in the sentence—
instead, they describe a general feeling about all of the information in the sentence.
At one time, the use of the word hopefully as a sentence adverb (e.g., Hopefully,
I’ll get this job) was condemned. People continued to use it though, and many
style guides and dictionaries now accept it. There are still plenty of readers out
there who hate it though, so it’s a good idea to avoid using it in formal writing.
