During our visit, my friends and I stud-
ied the OSIS administration, its archives, ac-

The following text is for questions 11 to 13.
Shifting to Digital
The Jakarta Post, 1 Nov 2017.
Indonesia's major department store
chains have begun to feel the pinch of the
rapidly growing trend of online shopping.
Many retailers have suffered a decline in
sales, forcing them to close some of their
outlets. PT Mitra Adi Perkasa (MAP), one of
the country’s major department store
chains, for example, has announced plans to
shut down three more Lotus department
stores in Jakarta. Previously, it closed two
outlets in Greater Jakarta. MAP will also stop
operations of its Debenhams outlet in Se-
nayan City shopping mall in South Jakarta at
year-end, having closed two outlets in Ke-
mang, South Jakarta, and Karawaci, Banten.
Similarly, publicly listed PT Matahari
Department Store closed its Manggarai and
Blok M stores last month. Meanwhile, retail
chain PT Ramayana Lestari Sentosa has
closed eight outlets across the country.
Similarly, publicly listed PT Matahari
Department Store closed its Manggarai and
Blok M stores last month. Meanwhile, retail
chain PT Ramayana Lestari Sentosa has
closed eight outlets across the country.
The trend, as a result of slowing con-
sumer goods sales growth, is in fact a global
phenomenon. It has been occurring in Ja-
pan, the United States and many other
countries. In Indonesia, sales growth at 55
fast moving consumer goods brick and mor-
tar retail outlet reached only 2,7 percent
year-to-date (ytd) as of September, com-
pared to a 10-11 percent increase in the
same period last year.
Although analysts largely attribute the
mass closure of retail outlets to sluggish
sales, we cannot deny the fact that online
marketplaces have started to replace tradi-
tional retail shops. Online transactions ac-
count for only about 2 percent of the coun-
try’s total retail sales so far, but their growth
is accelerating and eating up the market
share of offline retailers, thanks in part to

huge investments injected into the new
businesses.
With access to the internet multiplying,
particularly among the younger generation,
it comes as no surprise that online shopping
has won consumers’ hearts and minds.
Online shopping offers nearly unlimited
choices, as well as a simple and convenient
way of shopping as buyers only need to
open apps to find their sought-after goods
and settle their payments anytime, any-
where.
Forget traffic congestion or unfriendly
weather, which may discourage consumers
from going to shopping malls—not to men-
tion difficulties in finding a parking space.
Cheaper prices are another key reason
why buyers are shifting from offline to
online stores. The government will impose
taxes on goods and services sold online, but
prices will remain the comparative ad-
vantage of the digital market over its tradi-
tional counterpart.
Indonesia has also seen this digital wave dis-
rupt the conventional taxi industry, which has
triggered unrest. Other industries will soon feel
the disruption. The phenomenon is now creep-
ing into the financial services sector, especially
banking, amid growing interest in peer-to-peer
lending, an online lending service for both indi-
viduals and businesses.
No one can resist digitalization. Intact, the
world has entered a digital era, which has
changed the way people do business—unfor-
tunately, at the expense of thousands who
have become jobless.
As Indonesia's regulator, the government
needs to monitor this major shift, so that the
digital era can spur economic growth and cre-
ate new jobs.

Did you know that you can make a rocket
powered by water and air? Okay, it won't reach
the stars, but it should soar high up into the
air—and since it can’t get far, you can easily
find it and launch it again!
You will need:
Empty plastic bottle with push-pull cap and
large soda bottle.
Long, slim stick
Strong tape
Colored cardboard

A Campaign of the importance of Reading
Reading habits among Indonesians are
poor because many people haven't realized
the importance of reading. Furthermore, we
are lack of campaigns of the importance of
reading.
Reading is important to transform
knowledge and technology. By reading, one
knows the world. He/she will understand what
he/she doesn't see himself/herself. The lines of
the paragraphs in an article contain pieces of
knowledge. The knowledge is needed to im-
prove the quality of humans’ lives. Technology
transformation from other countries can only
be done by reading a lot various sources of lit-
erature. Valuable books in libraries and
bookstores are useless if they are not read.
Realizing the importance of reading will
make someone motivated to read. When we
know that something is very important be-
cause it can give us valuable information, we
will try to get or do the thing. For example, a
businessman, who always follows latest infor-
mation or news, will know what to do in his
business.
He will make a good decision in a transac-
tion. Most people in all developed countries
have realized the importance of reading and
they have good reading habits. In bus and train
stations, vehicles, waiting roams, parks, we see
people reading. They enjoy reading which gives
them valuable knowledge and inspiration.
Good understanding towards the im-
portance of reading can be achieved by well-
organized and effective campaigns. To plant
understanding in a generation's mind is not an
easy job. It heads a hard attempt from all Com-
ponents of the nation, especially the govern-
ment. A serious campaign which is organized

The following text is for questions 28 to 31.
The Widow and Her Little Maidens
In a pretty little house, there once lived a
neat old widow who wore the cleanest caps
and finest kerchief you ever saw in your life,
she was very fond of washing, scrubbing, bak-
ing and sewing! Everybody who knew her used
to say that she was the most hard-working lady
they had ever seen and an example to the
whole village.
This good woman had two little girls
whom she was always trying to make as clean
and neat as herself. She taught them how to
knead bread, cook rice and meals. She also
taught them to spin fine thread on their spin-
ning wheels. Every morning, the moment the
big brown cockerel in the yard gave its first
crow, she would get out of the bed, go to the
room where the little girls slept and shake
them until they woke up.
“Get up! Get up!” she would say. “Don't
you hear the cockerel crowing outside? The
sun will be shining over the hill in a moment.
Nobody in this house must stay in bed when
once the cockerel has crowed!”
The little girls were always dreadfully
sleepy and did not want to wake up in the least.
However, the bustling old woman would stand
over them, till they got out of bed, yawning and
blinking their eyes. Then she would start her
household chores, telling them to wash and
dress and follow her into the kitchen as quickly
as they could.
One of the things the little girls had to do
was to feed the poultry-the big brown cockerel
among the others. It was rather a greedy bird
and always ate a lot of the scraps and corn that
were thrown on the ground. The old lady
would stand at the kitchen door to watch the

Ver. 1
feeding, and the more the cockerel ate, the
better she was pleased.
“is it not a fine bird?" she would say to the
little girls. “Be sure and give it the best bits of
food. If it doesn’t crow, we will always be over-
sleeping, for there will be nobody to wake us in
the morning!"
Then the little girts would look at each
other under their eyelashes and pout. For they
both hated the brown bird which tried to wake
everybody at sunrise when it would be so
much nicer to sleep on until eight or nine
o'clock.
At last, one day, when the cockerel
seemed to have crowed even earlier than
usual, they decided they could stand it no
longer. They waited until their mother had
gone to market ... then they got rid of it.
The lady arrived home and found that her
dear bird was missing. She searched for the
cockerel everywhere while the girls also pre-
tended as much so that their mother might not
suspect them.
The lady missed the cockerel very much.
When they went to bed, however, the girls told
each other how glad they had got rid of the
horrid bird at last.
“Now.” they said to each other, “we shall
have a little peace. How lovely it will be to
sleep as long as we want to, with no crowing to
wake our mother in the morning!”
They cuddled down into their pillows and
fell asleep. However, in the middle of the night
or so it seemed to them, the old lady came to
their bedside in her nightcap, carrying a lighted
candle!
“Get up! Get up!” she said to them all in a
bustle. “We have no cockerel to wake us now
and it will never do to oversleep! The dawn has
not broken yet ... I know! But it will break pres-
ently and without the crowing in the yard, we
shall not even know that day has come. Get up!
Get up! Follow me into the kitchen as quickly
as possible!”
LOGO INSTITUSI
How sad and disappointed those little
maidens were! However, they were obliged to
do as their mother told them. So, they woke up
and stalled scrubbing and washing and spin-
ning by candle light, sleepier than they had
ever been in their lives.

fort_belgica.html,downloaded 23th December 2020
Fort Belgica is located in Bandaneira,
Banda Islands, Central Maluku district, Maluku
Province, Indonesia. The atmosphere of coloni-
alism history in the archipelago can be felt
since tourists arrive on the island of Banda. Not
only when tourists smell very strong nutmeg
on this island, but also when they visit Fort Bel-
gica. Being in the fort that holds a million sto-
ries of the early arrival of VOC, as if to invite us
to return to visit Bandaneira situation in the
17th century.
Despite nearly 400 years old, the fortress
is still well maintained. No graffiti appears on
the walls of the fortress that reach tens of cen-
timeters thickness as often occurs in several
historic buildings in many places in Indonesia.
In addition, the appearance of this fortress Still
looks sturdy and resilient.
From the outside of the building, many
say that Fort Belgica which was built in 1611
physically resembles the Pentagon building in
Washington DC, USA. In fact, this fortress has a
nickname as the Indonesian Pentagon due to
the design of the fortress which was the former
headquarters of the VOC's pentagonal shaped
building.
Another distinctive feature-of this early
modern era-style fortress is the existence of
bastions in the building. Bastion is a crack in
the wall of the fort which functions as a place
to put the canon's mouth. Mostly, these basti-
ons face the sea.
Visitors will see how this fortress does not
only leave many bastions and the giant walls,
but also a few cannons who never used by the
VOC to dispel the ‘rebellions’ of local residents
and several sultanates of North Maluku, Sula-
wesi and at that time (between the end of the
16th century and early 19th century).
Furthermore, if visitors see the fortress,
the structure of the fort consists of two layers
or floors. Then, in the middle of the fortress is
a wide-open space for prisoners. In the middle
of the open space are two secret wells in
square shape which are said to connect the for-
tress to the harbour and Fort Nassau located
on the waterfront.
Still in the same source, on each side of
the fortress is a tower. To reach the top of the
tower, the stairs is available with an almost up-
right position and a narrow outlet. From the
top of the tower, visitors can enjoy panorama
of areas in Banda Islands, ranging from the blue
waters of the Gulf of Banda, beautiful sunset,
peak of Gunung Api-a volcanic mountain in
Bandaneira to a height of 667 meters above
sea level-and hundreds of thick nutmeg trees
on the island of Banda Big. Taking
a walk around the fortress is a very pleasant ac-
tivity while imagining the colonial period.

HELSINKI (AP) — Norwegian rescue officials
said Sunday the wreckage of a Russian helicop-
ter that crashed with eight people onboard off
the Arctic Archipelago of Svalbard has been lo-
cated on the seabed.
The Joint Rescue Coordination Center for
northern Norway said that the Mi-8 helicopter,
which went down Thursday near the Svalbard
settlement of Barents burg, is around two kilo-
meters (one mile) east of Cape Here at a depth
of nearly 210 meters.
A Norwegian remote-controlled subma-
rine was involved in the search, which will now
focus on the chopper’s passengers.

Yevgeny Saidov, head of the Russian
emergencies ministry's special group at the
LOGO INSTITUSI
site, told news agency TASS that Russian re-
motely controlled underwater vehicles would
join the operation to survey the Mi-8 crash site.
The helicopter had been en route to Bar-
entsburg, a coal-mining town of about 500
people, from the Russian settlement of Pyra-
miden, carrying five crew members and three
staff members from Russia's Arctic and Antarc-
tic Research Institute.
Under an international 1920 treaty, Nor-
way has sovereignty over Svalbard, which is
800 kilometers (500 miles) north of its main-
land. Other signatory countries of the treaty
have rights to exploit its natural resources at
the archipelago, known also with its earlier
name Spitzbergen.
