READING STRATEGY: SCANNING
If we want just one piece of information from a text (e.g. name, an address, the time of a TV
programme or a word we want to spell) we need to scan for it. This means looking through very
quickly without really reading the words. All we have to do is find the word(s) we want.
Look at the list below. Tick the things you would use scanning for :
reading instructions
finding a telephone number
finding out who a letter is from
reading a book
finding a street on a map
looking up the time of a bus
finding a plumber in yellow pages
finding a word in the dictionary
studying an agreement
checking that a cheque has been signed
4
Unit 1
There are ways for us to scan a reading passage

Ÿ Think about what we are scanning for.
Ÿ We can write the word that we scan and try to get a picture of it in our mind.
Ÿ Keep thinking about what we are looking for and let our eyes run over the page.
Ÿ Do not read the words. Do not read the sentences. Just look.
Ÿ If we do not find it first time, try again.
Ÿ Keep thinking about the words we want and keep our eyes moving quickly.
Ÿ If we do not do it quickly then we are not really scanning, we're stopping to read
the other words.
Ÿ We might need a lot of practice before we can scan well, but it will save our time in
the end.
Ÿ It is very useful for looking up all sorts of things.
Ÿ If we are not good at reading yet, we can still scan. Try finding words we know well,
like Liverpool or your own name, in a page of writing.
Look at the following shopping list to find out if you remembered to order bread:
Shopping list
Milk
Butter
Ice cream
Bread
Bananas
Broccoli
Rice
How many words did we read? Bread was the only word we needed to read. Example. Scan
below page for the answers to these questions. Work as quickly as you can.
1. How many parts are there in this table of content below?
2. Which part is signal-to-noise ratio available?
3. On what page can you read about the functional block description?
4. Which part of firmware and report belong to or available?
5. Does this content have an index?
5
Unit 1
Scanning an Index
Look for answers to these questions in the index on the page. Try to find the page number very
quickly. Ask your teacher or another student to time you. Write down exactly how many seconds
it takes to complete the page.
1. Edit an entry directory page_____

2. Installation page_____
3. Chart of characters page_____
4. Advanced operation page_____
5. Call log page_____
6. Dial a number from redial page_____

High February rainfall a Jakarta flood hazard

The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Tue, 02/02/2010 5:57 PM | Jakarta
The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) warned Tuesday that
Jakarta's February rainfall could reach 400 mm, well above the normal average of 273 mm. The
Head of Climate Analysis and Information Nuryadi said that the high level of rainfall could cause
inundations in Jakarta's low-lying areas. “People have to remain vigilant when the predicted
rainfall numbers are this high,” he told The Jakarta Post.
BMKG predicted chances of light to heavy rain in Jakarta both noon and night for the first
week of February. The current rainy season is expected to end in June 2010 for Jakarta and West
Java. (gzl)

Unit 1
Grammar Focus
(PART OF SPEECH)
The part of speech explains how a word is used in a sentence. It also known as word
classes.
Here are some of them;
Noun
Nouns are a person, place, thing, or idea. They can take on a myriad of roles in a sentence,
from the subject of it all to the object of an action. They are capitalized when they're the
official name of something or someone, called proper nouns in these cases.
Examples : pirate, Caribbean, ship, freedom, Captain Jack Sparrow.
I'm Balinese but living in Paris.
Pronoun
Pronouns stand in for nouns in a sentence. They are more generic versions of nouns that
refer only to people.
Examples : I, you, he, she, it, ours, them, who, which, anybody, ourselves.
Tom is smart. He always gets A.
Verb
Verbs are action words that tell what happens in a sentence. They can also show a sentence
subject's state of being (is, was). Verbs change form based on tense (present, past) and count
distinction (singular or plural).
Examples : sing, dance, believes, seemed, finish, eat, drink, be, became
The last time I learned English was forty years ago
They are my best friend.
14
Unit 1
Adjective
Adjectives describe nouns and pronouns. They specify which one, how much, what kind, and
more. Adjectives allow readers and listeners to use their senses to imagine something more
clearly.
Examples : hot, lazy, funny, unique, bright, beautiful, poor, smooth.
Jamilah is a smart student because she is diligent.
Adverbs
Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, and even other adverbs. They specify when, where, how,
and why something happened and to what extent or how often.
Examples : softly, lazily, often, only, hopefully, softly, sometimes, very.
I am usually busy.
Yesterday, I ate my lunch quickly.

Reading Strategy : Skimming
Skimming
Skimming is reading a text quickly to get a general idea of meaning. It can be contrasted with
scanning, which is reading in order to find specific information, e.g. figures or names.
Example
A learner taking a reading exam decides to approach text by looking at the title, introductions,
and any diagrams and sub-headings, then skim reading to get a clear general idea of what the
text is about.
Skimming is a specific reading skill which is common in reading newspapers, messages and e-
mails. It is important that learners understand that there is no need to read every word when
skimming, so often teachers set this as a timed task to encourage speed.
20
Unit 2
In order to get the gist of the reading text, students need to read:
1. The first paragraph, especially the thesis statement, about what the text is going to discuss
about
2. The conclusion, as the short collection of what have been discussed
3. Every main idea in every paragraph (commonly located in the first sentence or second
sentence).
It is also important to focus on the parts of reading text before starting to read to make prediction
what the text is all about.
1. Title
2. Heading and sub-headings
3. Pictures and illustration
4. Graphs
These parts will give clue to the reader that the text will discuss something relates to a particular
thing.
Look at the sample of a reading text and its information on the location where the main idea can
be found.
21
Unit 2
Task 4
Without reading the text, look at the heading of the text below and say what the text is going
to discuss
All About Fish
You can find fish in many different types of water. Fish can live in freshwater or
saltwater. Fish can also live in brackish water which is a mix between fresh water and salt
water. Fish do not breathe air and they do not have lungs. Instead of lungs, fish have gills.
Fish can be lots of different colors. They can be all colors of the rainbow.
Fish are cold-blooded animals. Their body temperature changes as the temperature
of the water changes.
Task 5.
Without reading the text, please look at the picture and make prediction what the text is all
about
The next time you visit a rocky seashore, stop to explore. As the ocean
tide rushes out, it leaves behind little ponds of seawater known as tide
pools. These pools are important because they shelter plants and
animals that cannot live in open air when the tide is low. Tide pools may
be home to small animals, such as hermit crabs or sea anemones. Sea
urchins, creatures that resemble giant pincushions, may also reside in
tide pools. Other members of a tide pool community may include
sponges and seaweeds, such as sea lettuce and Irish moss.
Task 6.
Read the introduction, the main ideas in each paragraph, and the conclusion. What can you
say about the text?
CELL PHONES IN SCHOOL
Who doesn't have a cell phone these days? The amazing thing about cell phones is that
they are no longer just used for calling or texting. They have become an indispensable multi-tool
wonder. Today's cell phone is cutting-edge technology at your fingertips. With this in mind,
should students be permitted to use cell phones in school? I believe they should not just be
permitted to use cell phones; they should be required to use them. Cell phones don't just allow
students to stay connected with family and friends, they are also an excellent learning resource,
and they encourage the responsible use of technology.
22
Unit 2
To begin with, cell phones make it possible for students to stay in touch with family and
friends. A student can call home and ask a family member to bring them a forgotten assignment
or lunch money or to come pick them up if they are sick. Also, cell phones allow parents to keep
track of their children's whereabouts before, during, and after school. And, of course, there's
always the possibility of a student needing to contact a parent because of a dangerous situation.
Thus, having a cell phone is like having a guardian angel. Students can also connect with friends,
but not just because it's a fun thing to do; my teacher asks us to text or email our friends when
they are absent to let them know what's going on in class and to inform them of any homework.
When used responsibly, a cell phone can be an excellent communication tool.
Also, cell phones – especially smart phones - are a fabulous learning resource. Students
can use tools such as the calculator, the map finder, and the calendar. I've used my cell phone in
Math and Geography and to keep track of my homework. My science teacher lets us use our
smart phones to do research when we are doing group work or working on a project. For
example, when we were studying ecology we did research on local jobs having to do with
protecting the environment. Plus there are lots of great learning websites – including essay-
writing websites – we can use to supplement the learning in class. Cell phones are a quick and
easy way to incorporate technology in the classroom.
Finally, cell phones encourage the responsible use of technology. Students can learn
when and how to use their cell phones to enhance their learning. They will become more
independent in their work and more motivated to learn. Students like being allowed to make
choices, and they understand consequences. If a student is texting when he/she should be
paying attention to the teacher, the teacher should take the cell phone temporarily away. No big
deal. Before a test, all cell phones should be placed on the teacher's desk. Again, no big deal. By
allowing the use of cell phones, students will feel like they are being treated like responsible
young adults, and they will appreciate that. If teachers are patient, understanding, and
consistent, students will surely become responsible users of technology.
In conclusion, people who oppose the use of cell phones in school do it because of the
disruptions and distractions cell phones can cause. But we must accept that we live in a world of
technology and that cell phones are an important and very useful part of that world. We miss out
if we fail to take advantage of the educational power of the cell phone. All in all, cell phones
improve communication, provide learning resources, and encourage appropriate use of
technology. Teachers and administrators must find ways to incorporate this excellent multi-tool
in our schools. As you've learned from this essay, it's really not that difficult. Let's make the most
of the day and age we are living in!

Unit 3
READING STRATEGY: FINDING FACTS AND OPINION
WHAT IS A FACT?
A fact generally refers to something that is true. Fact is statement that can be verified
objectively or proven. That is, a fact is something that can be proven to be true.
WHAT IS AN OPINION?
An opinion refers to a personal belief. It relates to how someone feels about something.
Others may agree or disagree with an opinion, but they cannot prove or disprove it. This is
what defines it as opinion.
THE LANGUAGE OF FACT AND OPINION: SIGNAL WORDS AND PHRASES

Let's now take a look at some examples of those signal words and phrases being used in the
sentence fragments that often precede a statement of fact or opinion:
FACT
● The annual report confirms…
● Scientists have recently discovered…
● According to the results of the tests…
● The investigation demonstrated…
OPINION
● He claimed that…
● It is the officer's view that…
● The report argues that…
● Many scientists suspect that…
If something is true, or it really happened, it is a fact.

If something is what someone thinks or believes, it is an opinion.
39
Unit 3
Task 3
As you read Marco's letter from Uncle Ben, think about what parts are fact and what parts
are opinion.
Marco got a letter from his Uncle Ben, the airplane pilot. Uncle Ben has traveled all over
the world.
Dear Marco,
This is my third time visiting Paris, and I think it is one of the most beautiful
cities in the world. Paris, as I'm sure you know, is the capital of France. Today I walked
along the Avenue des Champs-Elysees, which is the most famous street in Paris. I think
it may be the most famous street in the world. It is lined with beautiful trees, fountains,
and flowers. There are shops, theaters, and restaurants, and many sidewalk cafes.
I had a wonderful lunch at one of the sidewalk cafes. The pastry I had for dessert
was especially delicious. Paris is known for its fine French cooking. I noticed on the café
menu that they serve one of the most popular French dishes, which is escargot. Snails, in
other words! I don't think I'll be trying that while I am here, though.
When you think of Paris, you probably think of the Eiffel Tower. Anyone visiting
Paris has to see the Eiffel Tower. You can see the top of the Eiffel Tower from anywhere in
the city. It is almost 1000 feet tall. When it was built, it was the tallest building in the
world. You can walk up the stairs to the top, or you can take an elevator. From the top you
can look out across all of Paris. It is an amazing sight!
Tomorrow I am going to the Louvre Museum. It is one of the largest museums in
the world. Once it was the French King's palace. Now, it is home to some of the most
famous artworks in the world. I look forward to seeing the “Mona Lisa” painting. Have
you seen pictures of it? It was painted over 500 years ago! There have been many poems
and songs written about this painting. The woman in the painting has a little half-smile.
To me, that makes it seem like she has a secret that she isn't going to tell.
Yours truly,
Uncle Ben

Speaking : Telephone English Phrases

Let's learn some essential telephone vocabulary.
When someone calls you, the phone makes a sound – we say the phone is ringing. If you're
available, you pick up the telephone or answer the telephone, in order to talk to the
person.
If there's nobody to answer the phone, then the caller will have to leave a message on an
answering machine or voicemail. Later, you can call back or return the call.
When you want to make a phone call, you start by dialing the number. Let's imagine
that you call your friend, but she's already on the phone with someone else. You'll hear a
busy signal - a beeping sound that tells you the other person is currently using the
phone.
Sometimes, when you call a company, they put you on hold. This is when you wait for
your call to be answered - usually while listening to music.
Finally, when you're finished with the conversation, you hang up.
43
Unit 3
Now, let's learn some useful English phrases for talking on the phone.
A. Formal Telephone Conversation

message?
Fred : Yes. Can you ask him to give me a call? My number is 909-345-8955.
Receptionist : Could you repeat that, please?
Fred : Certainly. That's 909 345-8955.
Receptionist : OK. I'll make sure Mr. Parkins gets your message.
Fred : Thank you. Goodbye.
Receptionist : Goodbye.
B. Informal Telephone Conversation
Jeny : Hello?
Ryan : Hi Jeny, It's Ryan. How's it going?
Jeny : Pretty good, thanks. How about you?
Ryan : I'm fine. Sure, glad it's Friday. Hey, is Peter there?
Jeny : Yeah, hold on, I'll get him. Peter! Ryan's on the phone.
Peter : Hey Ryan, what's up?
Ryan : Not much. Are you up for going fishing this weekend?
Peter : What? There's a lot of background noise – I can barely hear you.
Ryan : Sorry about that – I'm at the train station. I was wondering if you wanted to go
fishing this weekend. I'm heading up to Mountain Lake with some friends early
tomorrow morning.
Peter : hmm, hang on a sec, let me just check with my wife to make sure we have no other
plans.

Unit 3
GRAMMAR FOCUS: PREPOSITIONS AND DETERMINERS

PREPOSITIONS are very common words, especially in English. They link a word to
another part of the sentence and tell us what the relationship is, for example in space or time.
Meanwhile DETERMINERS are words that make the reference of nouns more specific. Yes!
It is to identify 'noun' in sentence/s.
Let's discuss them one by one!
Prepositions
There are at least three prepositions which are common for English users to show 'place' and
'time'. They are IN, ON, and AT. Although they are common, the beginner learners always
find it hard to decide which one to use in a sentence.
Here is the use of those three prepositions of places:

AT IN ON
(point) (enclosed space/area) (surface)
at the corner in Malang on the wall
at the bus stop in a car on the ceiling
at the end of the road in the garden on the floor
at school in a box on the cover
at the crossroads in a box on the carpet
Note that we use at for a more specific place, such as specific locations in a city.
Now, look at the difference in using the prepositions of time:
We have class at 12.30 PM at + specific time on the clock

AT I made an appointment at 10 AM at + night
The owl does not sleep at night
My idol birthday is in September in + specific month

He was born in 1992 in + specific year
IN Jae has work in the morning
Han attends the class in the afternoon
I study hard in the evening
We see the band concert on Sunday on + specific day

ON
She got married on August 17, 2021 on + specific date
46
Unit 3
Determiners
The most common determiners for English learners are A, AN, and THE. They are also called
as articles. To show you the difference in use, the articles are categorized into two:
a. Indefinite article (A/AN)

We use the indefinite article with singular noun when the listeners/readers do not know
exactly which one we are referring to.
My mom works in an office the listener has no idea which office it is
The people are searching for a 7-year-old girl the girl's identity is unknown
We use a before a consonant sound:

A hospital; a computer; a university
We use an before a vowel sound:
An orange; an umbrella; an hour
b. Definite article (THE)

We use THE in front of noun/s when we believe that our listeners/readers know exactly what
we are referring to.
I went to Togamas and I finally bought the book I want.
The new student in our class lives in our neighborhood.
You know the house on the corner? I live there.

HOW TO TAKE NOTES IN ENGLISH
There are two common English expressions using the word 'notes'. We often say 'to make
notes' or 'to take notes' but what's the difference between the two?
The phrases are often used interchangeably but there is a slight difference between the
two. We generally use 'take notes' for talking about when we write at the time something is
happening, such as a lecture or an event. So we could say: “I took notes while he was speaking so I
could look at them later.” 'Make notes' is usually used for talking about when we write
51
Unit 4
information in a short form to organise our thoughts about reference material or something we
are preparing for. For example: “I made notes about the information in my course book so I
could write an essay.”
Today, we're talking about 'taking notes'. Taking notes is a very personal thing and varies
from person to person, but there are some techniques we all have in common. It's not possible to
write down everything a person is saying as he or she is saying it. Very few people could type fast
enough, and even if they could, they wouldn't be listening properly if they were concentrating on
typing.
The first thing to consider when taking notes is
the layout. Make sure to leave plenty of space to add to
notes after the event. You can either leave space between
the lines you are writing on, or divide the page into two
columns and only write on one side. Make sure you get to
the event early so you can get a seat where you can hear
well. You're not going to be able to take notes if you can't
hear what's going on!
Next, think about what you are going to write. Write down just the most important
words: dates, times, names and key words to describe
feelings and actions. Don't bother with I/you/he/she
and ignore most of the prepositions. If it's quicker to
draw a picture, arrow or diagram, do that instead of
writing the word. You can use titles and subtitles to
organise your information, as it will help you find things
later. Use underlining, boxes and symbols to link pieces
of information in your mind and on the page. Remember to make the most of abbreviations.
Some words and common phrases have standard abbreviations, for example: 'eg.', 'tbc', 'ie.'. It's
fine to invent your own too. Think of the most common words related to the subject you are
taking notes on and make an abbreviation for each one. Just make sure you will remember them
later!
It's very important to focus on keeping up with the event rather than your writing. Make
sure that your attention is always on the speaker rather than your notes. If you aren't able to
write down something, just get one key word and move on to what the speaker is saying now.
Look at your notes soon after the event. There's no point in taking notes if you don't do anything
with them. Make sure to look at them after the event then go through and fill in any details you

were unable to write down at the time. Experiment with these ideas and find a style of taking
notes that suits you. Having a system that works is really important and a personal thing for all of
us.
Reading Exercise 1
Are these sentences true or false?
1. Some students write their lecturer's explanation about today's discussion is a form of
note-taking.
2. We should not leave any space blank when taking notes.
3. In note-taking, we can use abbreviations as much as we want.
4. When taking notes, we have to focus on the notes in order to make it clearer and
readable.
5. We can review our notes after the event by adding some details and missing things.
READING STRATEGY: FINDING TOPIC SENTENCES

Going straight to the main idea of each paragraph significantly increases your reading speed.
This main idea is the paragraph's topic sentence. You don't have to read as much to get a firmer
grasp of the author's fundamental ideas if you can find and understand a paragraph's topic
sentence. The question is: How do you recognize the main idea in a paragraph amid all the
details?
Understanding topic sentences

The topic sentence describes the subject of the paragraph and its main idea. If you can develop a
nose for locating topic sentences, you can get the main idea from paragraphs quickly and thereby
improve your reading speed and comprehension.
Typically, the topic sentence comes first in a paragraph, and the remaining sentences elaborate
on the topic sentence. In the following paragraph, for example, the topic sentence makes a
simple assertion, and evidence for its truth follows on the heels of the topic sentence:
“Rainfall has been increasing steadily in Yoknapatawpha County since 1995. In that year, annual
rainfall was 32 inches. By 2008, it was 40 inches, with an increase each year between 1995 and
2008, except for 1999, when the annual rainfall level fell to 29 inches.”
53
Unit 4
But sometimes the topic sentence isn't the first sentence in the paragraph. Sometimes it's buried
deeper. In this paragraph, the second sentence is the topic sentence:
“Looking at rainfall in Yoknapatawpha County since 1995, a clear trend is evident. Except for
1999, when the annual rainfall level fell to 29 inches, rainfall has increased steadily since 1995.
Between that year and 2008, rainfall rose from 32 to 40 inches annually.”
The author of the following paragraph is a bit of a windbag and takes his time getting to the main
idea. In this paragraph, the topic sentence is the last sentence:
“Is it getting wetter or drier in Yoknapatawpha County? A quick look at the record gives a clear
answer. Between 1995 and 2008, rainfall rose from 32 to 40 inches annually (although in 1999 it
dipped to 29 inches). From this information, it's plain to see that rainfall in the county has
increased steadily since 1995.”
Locating the topic sentence

Because the topic sentence can be located anywhere, how can you spot the topic sentence and
get to the main idea in a paragraph? Here's how:
Ÿ Read the first sentence carefully. Three times out of five, the topic sentence is the
first sentence.
Ÿ Consider what basic property or characteristic the paragraph describes.
This attribute is the paragraph's main idea, so the sentence that expresses it is your
topic sentence.
Ÿ Think about the paragraph's purpose. The paragraph most likely wants to
impart a particular piece of information. If you can figure out what that piece is, you
know the paragraph's topic and can find the sentence that presents it.
Reading Exercise 2
Read the paragraphs. Write the number of the topic sentence next to the correct paragraph.
Write TS where the sentence goes in the paragraph.
Topic sentences
1. I lived in a small town when I was a child.

2. When I have my own children, I want to move to a small town.
3. The town I live in is very small.
4. There are two main advantages of living in a small town.
54
Unit 4
Paragraph A : Topic sentence ____

First, you know everyone and everyone knows you. This helps you to feel safe, and it is friendlier.
Secondly, it is quiet and there are fewer cars. This means there is less pollution than in a big town
or city.
Paragraph B : Topic sentence ____

I don't want my children to live in a big city because a big city is not as friendly or as safe as a
village. I want to move to the village where my grandparents live. The children can play in the
street there and everyone knows each other.
Paragraph C : Topic sentence ____

It was a very nice place to live then. Now it is much bigger than before. More people live there and
some big businesses opened offices there. My parents still live there but they say it was better in
the past.
Paragraph D : Topic sentence ____

There are only a few food shops and one school here. Most people go to the big city to go shopping
for clothes and gifts. There is a doctor but there isn't a hospital. Again, you need to go to the city if
you need the hospital. However, our town is very nice and it has a beautiful park.
Reading Exercise 3
Read the paragraph and tick (√) the best topic sentence.
Topic sentences: Paragraph:

� A: Japan is a very beautiful country. ___________________ It produces many
� B: Japan, for e�ample, makes cars, such as Toyotas and Nissans, which it sells all

Reading Strategy: Finding Main Idea
Reading is the key to open the door of knowledge and information. When reading, readers can
find a lot of information that they didn't know before. However, there are many skills in reading,
and readers must understand and apply these skills in order to easily grasp the information. One
of many reading techniques is to find the main idea of the article.
The technique for positioning the main idea of a paragraph is to know how the paragraph is
designed. The paragraph consists of sentences that convey information about the subject.
Authors usually introduce the topic of the paragraph in the first sentence of the paragraph. This
is called a "topic sentence". The main sentence states the main idea; the other sentences are
supporting details, providing more information, rephrasing, clarification and examples to help
readers understand the main idea.
The topic sentence of a paragraph can be in the first sentence or in the last sentence. The topic
sentence can also be the first and last sentence of the paragraph: "sandwich." The second main
sentence of the "sandwich" paragraph also serves as the closing sentence.
67
Unit 5
Pay attention to the location of each topic sentence.

The topic sentence is underlined.
Hurricanes
Hurricanes, which are also called cyclones, exert tremendous power. These violent storms are
often a hundred miles in diameter, and their winds can reach velocities” of seventy-five miles per
hour or more. Furthermore, the strong winds and heavy rainfall that accompany them can
completely destroy a small town in a couple of hours. The energy that is released by a hurricane
in one day exceeds the total energy consumed by humankind throughout the world in one year.
Famous School “failure”

Albert Einstein, one of the world's geniuses, failed his university entrance examination on his
attempt. William Faulkner, one of America's noted writers, never finished college because he
could not pass hid English courses. Sir Winston Churchill, who is considered one of the masters
of the English language, had to have special tutoring in English during elementary school. These
examples show that failure in school does not always predict failure in life.
Synonyms
Synonyms, words that have the same basic meaning, do not always have the same emotional
meaning. For example, the words 'stingy” and “frugal” both mean “careful with money.”
However, to call a person stingy is an insult, while the word frugal has a much more positive
connotation. Similarly, a person wants to be slender but not skinny, and aggressive not pushy.
Therefore, you should be careful in choosing words because many so-called synonyms are not
really synonymous at all.
Reading Task : Locate the main idea!
Passage 1
So You Have Allergies?
You're feeling wretched: You're sneezing, your eyes are watery and you have a runny nose. You
might recognize these symptoms as those of allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever, but are
they? Many of the symptoms we experience that we believe to be allergies may in fact just be a
cold, or some other non-allergic reaction to an irritant. But how do you know for sure?
There are many forms and types of allergies, and allergic rhinitis is considered to be the
68
Unit 5
granddaddy of them all—responsible for the greatest misery in the most people. It usually shows
up before age 20. But it can develop at any age, even in babyhood. Today, allergic rhinitis affects
over 15% of Canadians. A third of them are children.
Hay fever used to be considered nothing more than an annoyance, not really worth treating
seriously and certainly not capable of inflicting much of an economic and physical toll. But today
we know that allergic rhinitis is associated with several other respiratory illnesses, including
asthma, and that it can significantly affect your ability to work or study. In fact, it's estimated
that people with allergic rhinitis miss more than 400,000 days of work and school each
year—and suffer through over three million days of restricted activity.
Unfortunately, most of us, even those of us who do have allergies, underestimate the
consequences. A national survey conducted by the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and
Immunology found that while 94% of allergy sufferers reported that allergies affected their
quality of life—including work productivity, sleep, concentration, and even sex—just half of
them considered the disease to be a serious medical condition. Nearly two-thirds hadn't seen a
doctor the last time their symptoms flared up.
The main idea of the passage is
(A) consequences of allergic rhinitis according to a survey

(B) sneezing, watery eyes and a runny nose are the symptoms of allergic rhinitis
(C) the danger of allergic rhinitis
(D) The symptoms, and effects of allergic rhinitis
Passage 2
Sweat: It's Good for What Ails You
If you are someone who needs serious incentive before putting on your sneakers and working
up a sweat, it's time to listen up. Exercise is one of the most effective prevention and treatment
strategies you can do against many common ailments.
In fact, many health experts now advise everyone to be active at least 30 minutes every day, from
light activities, such as walking, to more intensive workouts, such as aerobics. For conditions
like arthritis, depression, diabetes, heart disease and many more, exercise is simply good
medicine. If you have one of these conditions, even the thought of exercise might seem daunting,
but give it a try—you won't regret it.
69
Unit 5
The main idea of passage 2 is

(A) Exercise is simply good medicine for arthritis and depression
(B) Exercise is one of the most effective prevention and treatment strategies against many
common ailments.
(C) serious incentive before putting on sneakers and working up a sweat
(D) Everybody should get a sweat
Passage 3
Eating Right to Age Well
As you age, your energy needs change. Your body requires fewer calories, but at the same time,
it needs more of certain nutrients—nutrients that researchers are discovering may actually slow
the aging process.
While aging is inevitable, many of the degenerative changes that prevail past middle age are
not—if preventive steps are taken. Medical research confirms that good nutrition can prevent, or
at least slow down, certain debilitating conditions such as osteoporosis, diabetes, and heart
disease. In fact, one report estimates that one-third to one-half of the health problems of people
over the age of 65 are related to diet.

(A) One-third to one-half of the health problems of people over the age of 65 are related to
diet
(B) the effect of nutrition on age
(C) Good nutrition can prevent or slow down certain debilitating conditions
(D) old people should eat good nutrition
Passage 4
Be Kind to Your Container Plants
Almost anyone who has grown container plantings has experienced the frustration of planters
that look great for the first couple of weeks, but then start to decline. Not to worry. With a little
understanding of how plants grow in containers, what to use for soil, and how to feed and water
properly, you'll have the tools to keep your container plants looking great throughout their
growing lifetimes.
70
Unit 5
Potting Soils
Unlike plants growing in the ground, container plants don't have the luxury of endless soil
in which to stretch out their roots. Containers only hold a small volume of soil in a defined
space. And we often further reduce this available space by putting a number of plants in each
container.
Success with container plantings, whether you're planting in window boxes or in old work
boots, begins from the ground up. Garden soils or purchased topsoils intended for garden
beds aren't appropriate for containers: they are too heavy, and tend to drain slowly, so roots
confined to small spaces run the risk of rotting and dying. Additionally, the gardener who fills
large planters with soil from a garden bed will find the planters excessively heavy to move.

(A) The soil used in container plantings.
(B) The management of container plantings
(C) The effects of container for plants
(D) The endurance of container plantings at homes

READING STRATEGY: MIND MAPPING
What is a mind map?

A mind map is a diagram, a graphic
organizer that helps students visualize
what they're reading and detect
connections between individual pieces
of information. In a classic mind map,
you'll always find the subject
prominently placed in the centre of the
map canvas, with all notes, ideas, and
keywords arranged around the centre
in a radiant structure.
86
Unit 6
Mind mapping is a particular technique that requires the following key elements to be
effective:
Ÿ A central image, to stimulate memory, associations and thought processes

Ÿ Curvilinear branches, emanating from the central image, to depict the basic ordering ideas
(BOIs)
Ÿ A (theoretically infinite) network of smaller branches to depict ideas stemming from the
BOIs at different levels of detail
Ÿ Conscious use of colour to separate ideas by topic A single keyword for each branch
A. Read the article below and make a mind map in the form of a phrase!
The Negative Impact of Social Media on our lives
Our daily lives revolve around technology and most of us can't imagine going a day without
logging on the internet or using our mobile phones. Social networking has become a norm in our
society, with websites like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and many more holding a unique and
vital role in our daily lives. The idea behind social networking is to enable us to hold better
contact with friends and family, advertise establishments, artists or products and connect with
new people. Social networking has without a doubt contributed to many positive things, but is it
also affecting us negatively? Here's a list of a few negative aspects that come with active social
networking behavior.
87
Unit 6
Addiction to Social Media

A number of behaviors associated with excessive use of social media have lately become the
subject of much discussion and research. That said, a social networking addict could be
considered someone who uses social media excessively to a point where it interferes with other
daily activities. Such as constantly checking Facebook status updates or “stalking” people's
profiles on Facebook, for hours on end A Facebook Addict
A research team headed by Wilhelm Hoffmann of Chicago University concluded in 2012 that
twitter is harder to resist than cigarettes and alcohol. Other researchers have also linked anxiety,
sleep deprivation, depression and some psychological disorders to people who spend too much
time online.
Constant Comparison with others

Let's face it, we all look at each other's social networking sites, admiring clothes, lifestyles and
even relationships. More than often wishing that our lives were as great as others. But when it
comes down to it, people mostly tend to share only the glittering highlights from their lives,
deliberately leaving out the dull ones. We usually don't post about our boring nights at home,
rocky relationships or lack of financial stability. However this is not taken into consideration
when people start comparing their lives to others and instead end up feeling miserable which
can at times even lead to low self-esteem, and depression.
Making “Friends” online

Although social networking helps us to connect with new people, it has also impacted how
people make friends these days. Instead of meeting face-to-face, people nowadays are happy to
scroll through an endless list of bite-sized snippets of personal information, or interact through
comments, or even chat with multiple people simultaneously. We are trading a great deal of
physical interaction with a very superficial and sometimes shallow form of interaction. Many
people who are best friends on Facebook are unable to carry out a face to face conversation
amiably. And then there are those who instead of sharing their thoughts and problems with their
'real' friends, spend endless time chatting over the internet.
Distraction
One of the major cons of social networking is the distraction it causes in everyday lives. Many of
us can't go an hour without checking for updates and this can cause us to get distracted from
what's really important in life. Instead of focusing on work, school and family, we spend majority
88
Unit 6
of our time online looking for the next juicy status update, headline or photograph. Social
networking is supposed to help individuals learn and grow. Instead, every time we are on a social
site, we feel unproductive and distracted. It is fast changing from a platform where we
communicate with others into a platform where we advertise oneself to others.
Cyber Bullying/ Hate Speech

A majority of kids, teens and even adults will experience cyber bullying in one form or another.
On social networking sites people can post whatever they want without facing any serious
consequences. Much of this information shared is often untrue and rarely controlled by the
social media sites. Such rumors can spread rapidly and often cause many people to gang up and
attack one person. A very good example is the Instagram incident that sparked riots and rage
among teens in Sweden last year. Also a lot of people will say things on the internet they would
never say face to face. They will relentlessly bully someone saying horrible things that they would
never have said in a face to face interaction. Parents of bullied kids are often unaware of their
kids predicament. Some parents find out when the situation has already escalated and it's too
late to help their kids. Social Media has given people a new platform to post hateful comments
and even threats. Discussions on some social sites can at times turn nasty, and in some cases
journalists, writers have been victimized and threatened due to their different views in
controversial topics.
Social networking has also opened up new doors for predators. They can pose as whoever they
want and talk to whoever they wish to. They can read through someone's profile find out what
interests them and hence build a connection with that person. This can be dangerous especially
if someone posts a lot of personal information, allowing the predator to track them down. Young
people are mostly vulnerable and are easily lured into such traps.
Obviously social networking sites are here to stay and already they have changed the way we
experience, think, interact, share opinions, make friends and even vote. But it's time we
reconsidered some of our rapidly shaping social-networking habits before we lose ourselves in
this mayhem. (Adapted from Elizabeth Koikai, The Negative Impact of Social Media on Our
Lives)

Now, read the following explanation to strengthen your understanding about

invitation letters.
An invitation is a type of letter which is written to invite a guest to a particular event or
celebration. The present and the future tenses are used within the invitation letter. The former
conveys information about the event and the latter ensures that the guest is going to attend.
Invitation is categorized differently. Some categorize it into a formal and informal invitation
while others categorize it into a business and friendly invitation. The purposes of writing the
invitation determine the types of the letters. For example, an invitation letter inviting peers or
clients to an event hosted by the company or inviting persons for an important meeting is a
formal letter. Those letters are categorized as business invitation letters and are written in a
formal tone. Invitation letters sent to friends and family members can be less formal. This type of
letter is sent for a social function such as such as birthday, marriage, baby shower ceremonies,
etc.
a. Friendly Invitation Letter
A friendly invitation letter usually follows the following format
To Carla and family Name of the invitee

My birthday falls on 22nd April and I am counting
Message containing the name
the days of happiness. I am waiting for my friends
of the event, the purpose,

at least 3-5 parts of speech, preposition, connectors, noun phrase, and verb phrase!
Linda Walsh
Bakso Bakar Pak Man is located in the middle of Malang city. It's a tiny Meatball
restaurant on a busy corner in a mixed commercial and residential area northeast of
the town. They have been serving Indonesian meatballs since the 80s, as I understand
it, and during that time, the place has been continuously owned and operated by the
same extended family. Since my wife is born and raised in Malang, I felt I had a familial
obligation to visit the phenomenal place. Ah, the burdens of family. Their specialty is
the grilled meatball or known as Bakso Bakar. Hot and messy, they are insanely
delicious. Pak Man serves them plain, or you can request as many chilies as you want
along with the sauce with the meatballs. It also comes with tofu, free noodles, and
mouth-watering soup. It opens at around 09.00 a.m. and usually closes before dawn.
The locals love this place. When I visited, the line was out the door, hoping it was not
yet sold out.

READING STRATEGY: SCANNING
Scanning is a reading technique you use when you look up a word

in the telephone book or dictionary.
ᵜ You use it when you want to find specific information quickly.

ᵜ You search for key words or ideas and ignore unrelated
information to find an answer.
ᵜ Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page
seeking specific words and phrases.
ᵜ When scanning, look for the author's use of organizers such as
numbers, letters, steps, or the words, first, second, or next.
ᵜ Look for words that are bold faced, italics, or in a different font
size, style, or color. Sometimes the author will put key ideas in
the margin.
ᵜ You might need a lot of practice to scan well, but it will save you
time.
ᵜ It is useful for looking up all sorts of things.
STEPS FOR SCANNING:

ü Think about what you are scanning for.
ü If needed, write them down.
ü Keep thinking about what you are looking for and let your eyes run over the page.
ü Don't read slowly, just look for the answer.
ü If you don't find it, try again.
ü Keep thinking about the words you want and moving your eyes quickly.
ü If you don't do it quickly, then you are not scanning, but stopping to read the other words.

The Pros and Cons of Online Shopping
These days, it seems like everything is going digital. From news articles and recipes to yoga
tutorials, you can find almost everything on the internet.
150
Unit 10
Many people find this way of life more convenient, because they can complete their daily chores
from the comfort of their own home. I think that is why some people like to shop for their clothes
online. With the click of a button, you can order anything you want, and have it delivered directly
to your front door. For someone with a busy lifestyle, this seems ideal.
Firstly, online shopping can be far less stressful than hitting the high-street shops. There are no
huge crowds of people or tediously long queues. With online shopping, it is just you and your
computer. It is like you have the whole shop to yourself. Secondly, online stores don't have
opening and closing times. This is perfect for anyone with a busy schedule – like office workers
who work long hours, or teenagers with several hobbies to squeeze into the weekend. If you want
to, you can even place an online shopping order at three o'clock in the morning.
In the bustling modern world, there are clearly many advantages to online shopping. However,
in my experience, there are also several cons. With online shopping, you can not try before you
buy, and that is a definite disadvantage for me. Often, when my new clothes arrive, I find they
don't fit very well. It is always annoying when a dress is a little too big, or when sleeves are
awkwardly short. Sometimes, the clothes are not what I was expecting. A piece of clothing might
look great in photos online, but quite different in real life. A blue jumper might turn out to be
green, whilst other times the material of a blouse will feel cheap and scratchy.
In these scenarios, you want to return the item, but here lies the biggest problem with online
shopping. You have to pay for your order's delivery, and for an item to be returned to the
warehouse! These charges are often very expensive, which suddenly makes online shopping
seem a little less convenient. That's why I don't choose to shop online very frequently. For now, I
will continue to find the time for a trip to a real shop, where I know exactly what I'm buying!
C. Do the following sentences belong to nominal sentences?
1. An apple has sweet taste.

READING STRATEGY
Q Facts are true and opinions tell what you think about something.
Q “It is Tuesday” may be a fact. However, if you think Tuesday is the best day of the
week—that is your opinion.
Q Opinions are statements of someone's belief. When you say, "I believe (that) ... ", "I
think (that)... ", “In my opinion, ….”, or “in my view, …….”, you are expressing
your opinion.
Q People can disagree with opinions, but facts are true statements that no one can
disagree with. Example: “That film was three hours long”.
Q Writers use facts to support their opinions and to show why they hold their beliefs.
Before going through the text, have a look at the table below to get deep understanding of both
fact and opinion.

Ladies and gentlemen welcome on board Garuda Indonesia. Before take-off, let us enlighten you
with these safety aspects of this aircraft. Please ensure that your seat is upright, your personal
video screen, tray table and footrest are folded away, and window blind is raised. Your seat belt is
fastened by inserting the metal loop into the buckle. To remove the belt, simply lift the metal
catch and remove the metal loop. Your seat belt should be fastened when the seat belt sign is lit
and whenever you are seated or asleep. Do not leave any cabin baggage at the emergency exits or
in the aisle. All cabin baggage should be securely kept in the compartment above you or under
the seat in front of you. Do take a moment to identify the emergency exits closest to you. There
are path lights along the aisle that will lead you to an emergency exit. For a water landing, there is
a life vest located beside or beneath your seat. Place it over your head and bring the two straps
together. Now tighten by pulling these straps. Only inflate your life vest just before leaving the

GRAMMAR FOCUS: The Structure of Contextualised Language
In learning sentences above, we need 'verbal processes' which deliver our powerful impression
of experience. Verbs as processes are taken from the perspective of functional grammar by
Michael Halliday in the 1960s. Functional grammar is designed to explain how the language is
used in a variety of context. Language is understood in different uses of context of two distinctive
meanings (ideational and interpersonal).
Ideational is meant 'to understand the environment' and interpersonal is intended 'to act on the
others in it'. Combined with these two different types of meaning above is the third component,
so-called 'the textual'. Thus, there are three ways to understand language (ideational,
interpersonal, and textual). The three components of functional grammar are called
'metafunctions'. Therefore, the metafunctions of functional grammar will firstly lead us to
identify language experiences, including our minds, event descriptions, mental states, and
entities involved in them. Secondly, when interacting with others, we establish and maintain
relation with them, affect their behaviour, deliver our points of view on things, and adapt their
viewpoints. Thirdly, in a way of using language, we accommodate meaningful messages by
qualifying the message for other messages around them and with the broader context in which
we are speaking with others or writing sentences to other people.
This part begins with verbal processes which are divided into three strands:
The three strands will be partly focused on 'doing' verbs as 'material' and 'behavioural'
processes. Materials processes use 'verbs' to start with doing things with what happen in the
external, material world of our experience. Then, behavioural processes use 'verbs' to refer to
psychological and physical behaviour.
171
Unit 11
This focus is suited to the language use of travel announcements at an airport because the
announcements at an airport both before and after flight take-offs use language as 'imperative'.
Imperatives are verbs used to give orders, commands, warning or instructions, and (if
you use "please") to make a request. It is one of the three moods of an English verb (indicative,
imperative and subjunctive).
For example:
1. Smoking in the lavatories will activate the smoke detectors
Verb as material
Smoking in the lavatories will activate the smoke detectors
2. Do not leave any cabin baggage at the emergency exits or in the aisle.
Verb as behavioural
Do not leave any cabin baggage at the emergency exits or in the aisle
Language Description
Example 1 shows the verb is as material process. It is when cigarette is burned and smoke is sent
into the air in lavatories and detected by smoke detectors, the detectors will be activated.
Example 2 describes the verb is as behavioural process. There is a sign not to leave any cabin
baggage at the emergency exits or in the aisle due to disturbance. The disturbance is a situation
that creates physical interruption and people may be prevented from continuing or working in
the normal way.
Grammar Exercise
Do this exercise for your grammar work to:

1. create the table for one to three sentences of 'verb as material' and 'verb as behavioural';
2. find a verb in the announcements above that describe either 'verb as material' or 'verb as
behavioural', and
3. describe the sentence (either 'verb as material' or 'verb as behavioural') in the similar
way of being described in Language Description.

Reading text: Study skills tips

• Many studies about language learning ask the
question: What makes a good language learner?
There are some things that good language
learners do and some things they don't do. Here
are some of the most useful suggestions from
studies.
• Don't be afraid of making mistakes. People often
get things wrong. Good language learners notice their mistakes and learn from them.
175
Unit 12
• Do group activities. People use language to communicate with other people. A good
language learner always looks for opportunities to talk with other students.
• Make notes during every class. Notes help you to remember new language. Look at your
notes when you do your homework.
• Use a dictionary. Good language learners often use dictionaries to check the meaning of
words they don't know. They also make their own vocabulary lists.
• Think in the language you're learning outside the classroom. When you're shopping or
walking down the street, remember useful words and phrases. Sometimes, when you're at
home, say new words to practice your pronunciation.
• Do extra practice. Test and improve your language, reading and listening skills with self-
study material. You can find a lot of this online.
• Imagine yourself speaking in the language. Many good language learners can see and hear
themselves speaking in the language. This helps their motivation.
• Enjoy the process. Good language learners have fun with the language. Watch a TV series
or film, listen to songs, play video games or read a book. It's never too late to become a
good language learner.
Task 1
According to the text, are the sentences true or false?

Answer
1. Good language learners don't make mistakes. True False
2. It's a good idea to talk with other students. True False
3. Take notes only before an exam. True False
4. Good language learners write down the words and expressions they learn. True False
5. Think of language you know when you are outside the classroom. True False
6. Don't take tests outside of class – it's very stressful. True False
Task 2
Write the noun forms of the verbs. For example, 'imagination' is the noun
form of the verb 'imagine'.

READING STRATEGY: FINDING TOPIC SENTENCES

In formal academic English, paragraphs have three main parts.
TOPIC SENTENCE
Every good paragraph has ONE topic sentence, which gives the general topic of the whole
paragraph. The topic sentence in a paragraph states the main idea of the paragraph. While it is
usually at the beginning of the paragraph, it also can be in the middle or end of it.
Example 1:
Forest Gump is a very touching movie. It shows that it is possible to enjoy life without
being stingy, materialistic or ruthless. It helps us to realize that there are many people among us
that were born with various defects. That fact makes me think how fortunate I am to be totally
healthy. The movie also contains a love story between Forrest Gump and a girl who does not
think of him as a serious partner because of his defect; however, they eventually get married.
Moreover, we see love between mother and son where Forest's mom even slept with the school
principal in order to give the son a chance of going to a normal school. All those things make me
think of this movie as a very moving story.
177
Unit 12
ACTIVITY 1
• work in groups in 10 minutes
• read the following paragraphs
• underline the best topic sentence for the paragraphs
1. The best trip my family ever took was to Papuma, Jember. We drove along the roads for 6
hours. I didn't think it would be very interesting, but I was wrong. We saw the beautiful
beach with the crystal clear waters and white sand combinations that people dream of on
vacations. The scenery and atmosphere can be enjoyed more completely at a restaurant
which provides Indonesian and Papuma food, a variety of baked fish.
2. No matter how you slice it, there are only 24 hours in a day. To be successful at university,
students need to learn good time-management skills. The first skill is not taking on more
than you can handle. If you are a working part-time, have a family and are involved in a
community organisation, then taking a full course-load at university will be too much.
Another time management skill is reasonably estimating the time required to perform
each of the tasks at hand. For example, deeply reading a chapter from a course text cannot
be completed in between television programmes. Finally, actuallydoingwhat needs to
be done seems obvious, but is a very difficult skill. You may find that cleaning out your
wardrobe becomes vital when you are avoiding study. Procrastination is a time
manager's enemy. By learning time management skills your university study will be
successful and most importantly enjoyable.
3. The heart weighs about 11 ounces and is the size of a clenched fist. The heart of a man
performs at about 60 to 80 beats a minute. In a year it beats some 40 million times. At
each beat it takes in nearly a quarter of a pint of blood; in a single day it pumps 2,200
gallons of blood, and in the course of a single lifetime about 56 million gallons. Is there
any other engine capable of carrying on such heavy work over such a long period of time
without needing to be repaired? Obviously the human heart is a small yet highly efficient
piece of equipment.
4. Many people think poetry is old-fashioned and uninteresting. They don't realize that
every time they hear a song sung, they are hearing poetry in the form of song lyrics. Just
like many written poems, many song lyrics use rhythm, rhyme, and literary imagery. It
turns out that poetry isn't old-fashioned; it's as modern as the latest hit song!
178
Unit 12
5. Sometimes it is hard to fall asleep. Maybe you are not sleepy, or maybe you are thinking
about what happened during the day. You can also lie awake if a big event, like a test or a
party, is happening the next day. There are several things you can do to try and fall asleep.
You can try counting sheep, or just counting, which will keep your mind busy with a
repetitious activity. Sometimes listening to soft music or gentle sounds, like rain, helps.
You can even try telling yourself a story, which may distract your mind enough that you
will be asleep in no time

Unit 12
6. _______________________________________________. To illustrate, last

semester I was taking an organic chemistry class. About four weeks into the class, I began
preparing for our scheduled midterm exam which was worth 35% of our overall grade. The
midterm exam covered a lot of important concepts, but I was not 100% confident that I
would score well. Therefore, I joined a group to prepare for the exam. During our three
hour study session, we prepared a specific study guide with sample test questions plus
answers. Then we verbally tested each other all the mock test questions that we had
prepared. Participating in this group study definitely helped me understand the organic
chemistry content because I scored a 97% on the test which was higher than the 81% I
received on the previous test for which I had studied alone.
A. Chemistry class was a lot harder than I thought it would be.
B. I prepare for tests by making mock questions to see if I can accurately recall the
information.
C. Group study is more beneficial than individual study because students can understand
the course better.
D. I usually score well on most of my tests in college.
7. _____________________________________________________Last year,
for instance, I had a friend who started bicycling. To get started, he bought a mountain bike
for 2.500.000. After that he purchased bicycle pants, shoes, shirts, and a helmet, all of
which totaled more than 1.000.000. However, as I runner, I purchased some necessary
equipment and running apparel such as watch 250.000, shorts 100.000, shoes 200.000,
and socks 50.000 which is a lot less expensive than the bicycling gear that my friend had to
buy.
A. Bicycles can be more expensive that most people think.
B. Running shoes cost around 200.000 a pair.
C. Running is a better form of exercise than bicycling because it is much cheaper.
D. Bicycle helmets should be worn at all times.
8. ________________________________________________________. I
work in a marketing agency, to illustrate, and the first thing in the morning after we show
up for work, my team and I collaborate to figure out what projects we need to begin for our
many clients. At that early meeting, our team delegated specific tasks to each group
member. On that day, Tomas did not arrive to work until 9:30 AM, but he was supposed to
181
Unit 12
show up at 8:00 AM. Thus, he missed the first 90 minutes of our team meeting, and, after
he showed up, we had to spend a lot of time catching him up on his assigned tasks.
Workers, like Tomas, who consistently show up late should be fired because they cannot be
depended on.
A. An important quality of a good co-worker is punctuality, and showing up to work in a
timely fashion is a must.
B. Teams often delegate tasks to each participant in order for the group to function well.
C. Some workers may show up late from time to time when they are going to their jobs.
D. An important attribute of a good co-coworker is that he or she gets along well with
others.
9. ________________________________________________. On the one hand,
group study is beneficial because students can consult with each other to have a deeper
knowledge of the class content. For example, a couple of years ago, I was preparing for a
biology exam. To get ready for the exam, I decided to study with four other students.
Because I was able to study with my classmates, I was able to get a deep understanding of
cell division in plants. On the other hand, group study can create some problems. To
illustrate, during my group study for my biology exam, sometimes we talked about
personal and unrelated matters instead of focusing on our discussion of cell division. As a
result, we spent about three hours preparing for our exam on cell division. I am sure that
we could have finished our study within a 90 minute time frame had we not spent so much
time chit chatting.
A. Group study is the most beneficial method of study in that I stay more alert since I have
others to keep me focused.
B. A disadvantage to group study is distractions as members may digress from the purpose
of the study session by talking about trivial matters.
C. I do not prefer group study because it causes too many distractions which cause me to
lose focus from my studies.
D. Group study has advantages and disadvantages for students who choose this method of
exam preparation.
10.____________________________________________. First of all, the woman

believes that shortening the final exam week would place unnecessary stress on students.
Right now, students have 5 days for final exams, and only 1 exam occurs on each day.
However, according to her, changing that schedule would force students to have to take 2-3
182
Unit 12
exams on each day of finals which is too much. Second of all, changing the final exam week
to only two days, the woman asserts, would make it harder for professors to get all their
grading done before having to submit their grades at the end of the semester. Currently,
like students, professors only have to administer 1 final exam during each day of finals, so
they have plenty of time to grade their exams and papers, concludes the woman.
A. Students would have to take too many exams on each day of final exam week if it were
compressed to two days.
B. In the listening passage, the woman believes that shortening final week has two
negative consequences.
C. According to the woman, shortening final exam week would put too much pressure on
professors.
D. Final week will undergo some changes in order to make it better for both students and
faculty.

WRITING
GRAMMAR FOCUS: Verbal sentences and Nominal Sentences

In the previous meetings, you have learnt about noun, noun phrase, and pronoun which
are utilized as subject in a sentence. Besides, verb or verb phrases have been discussed in detail.
Subject and verb are words required to form a sentence. In other words, a group of words is
called a sentence if they consist of minimally subject and verb.
Sentences containing only 'be' as the main verb and usually followed with adjective,
noun (phrase), and adverb are called nominal sentences, while verbal sentences do not use 'be'
as the main verb or 'be' is used followed by the other main verbs. Study the sentences below:
(1) Mr. M. Zainuddin is the rector of UIN MALIKI Malang.
(2) Mr. M. Zainuddin is speaking in Arabic
(3) Mr. M. Zainuddin is interesting.
(4) Mr. M. Zainuddin speaks in three languages: Arabic, English, and Mandarin.
If you have a closer look at the examples, you can recognize that sentence 1 and sentence 3 belong
to nominal sentences. The verb 'is' as 'be' in sentence 1 is not followed by the other main verb, but
it is followed with the rector of UIN MALIKI Malang as the noun phrase. Similarly, the verb 'is' in
sentence 3 is not followed with verb and it is not Present Continuous Tense. It is Simple Present
Tense, for the word “interesting” is adjective not verb. Meanwhile, sentence 2 and sentence 4
belong to verbal sentences. The verb 'is' in sentence 2 is followed with the main verb 'speaking'
which belong to main verb in Present Continuous Tense. The word 'speaks' in sentence 3 is the
main verb. This sentence belongs Simple Present Tense.
To understand more about verbal sentences and nominal sentences, the following table
will show you which verbs belong to verbal sentences or nominal sentences.

Unit 13
Reading Strategy
Finding the Main Idea
The main idea of a passage or reading text is the central

thought or message. The term main idea refers to the point or
thought being expressed. It tells what the passage is about. It
tells you more about the topic and the writer's idea about the
topic. The other sentences are details that support the main
idea.
Tips in finding the main idea in a reading activity:
1. Main ideas are often found at the beginning of paragraphs. The first sentence often
explains the subject being discussed in the passage.
2. Main ideas are also found in the concluding sentence of a paragraph. The main idea can
be expressed as a summation of the information in the paragraph as well as a link to the
information in the next paragraph.
Task 3
Read the following paragraph and underline the stated main idea.
1. The rules of conduct during an examination are clear. No books, calculators or papers are
allowed in the test room. Proctors will not allow anyone with such items to take the test.
Anyone caught cheating will be asked to leave the room. His or her test sheet will be taken.
The incident will be reported to the proper authority. At the end of the test period, all
materials will be returned to the proctor. Failure to abide by these rules will result in a
failing grade for this test.
2. History is anything that happened in the past. One hundred years ago is in the past. One
minute ago is in the past. Both times are a part of history. We cannot remember everything
that happened in the past, but we do remember important events, or things that
happened. Some history is hard to find out about. Many things occurred, or happened
long before man was even around. Other things occurred before man knew how to write.
As man developed a system of writing, it became easier to know what happened because
he often recorded, or wrote down, the event. People could read about the event if they were
not there to see it happen. By studying history we can learn about what happened in the
past and think about how to do things in the future!
196
Unit 13
3. Language is the mean of communication. Mostly groups of society have their own
languages. Some of them appear the top global languages. Most people in the world hear
about English, Arabic, and Mandarin. However English is the most global spoken
language. Then if a man wants to catch a global goal, he has to master English.
4. Reading is important to transform knowledge and technology. By reading, one knows the
world. He or she will understand what he doesn't see by himself or herself. The lines of the
paragraphs in an article contain pieces of knowledge. The knowledge is needed to improve
the quality of human's life. Technology transformation from other country can only be
done by reading a lot various sources of literature. Valuable books in libraries and
bookstores mean nothing if they are not read.

Unit 14
The City Mouse and the Country Mouse

Once a little mouse who lived in the country invited a little Mouse from the city to visit him.
When the little City Mouse sat down to dinner, he was surprised to find that the Country Mouse
had nothing to eat except barley and grain.
“Really,” he said, “you do not live well at all; you should see
how I live! I have all sorts of fine things to eat every day. You
must come to visit me and see how nice it is to live in the city.”
The little Country Mouse was glad to do this, and after a while
he went to the city to visit his friend.
The very first place that the City Mouse took the Country
Mouse to see was the kitchen cupboard of the house where he
lived. There, on the lowest shelf, behind some stone jars, stood
a big paper bag of brown sugar. The little City Mouse gnawed a
hole in the bag and invited his friend to nibble for himself. The
two little mice nibbled and nibbled, and the Country Mouse thought he had never tasted
anything so delicious in his life. He was just thinking how lucky the City Mouse was, when
suddenly the door opened with a bang, and in came the cook to get some flour.
“Run!” whispered the City Mouse. And they ran as fast as they could to the little hole where they
had come in. The little Country Mouse was shaking all over when
they got safely away, but the little City Mouse said, “That is nothing;
she will soon go away and then we can go back.”
After the cook had gone away and shut the door they stole softly
back, and this time the City Mouse had
something new to show: he took the little
Country Mouse into a corner on the top
shelf, where a big jar of dried prunes stood
open. After much tugging and pulling they
got a large, dried prune out of the jar on to the shelf and began to nibble
at it. This was even better than the brown sugar. The little Country
Mouse liked the taste
209
Unit 14
so much that he could hardly nibble fast enough. But all at once, in the midst of their eating, there
came a scratching at the door and a sharp, loud MIAOUW!
“What is that?” said the Country Mouse. The City Mouse just whispered, “Sh!” and ran as fast as
he could to the hole.
The Country Mouse ran after, you may be sure, as fast as HE could. As soon as they were out of
danger the City Mouse said, “That was the old Cat; she is the best mouser in town, –if she once
gets you, you are lost.”
“This is very terrible,” said the little Country Mouse; “let us not go back to the cupboard again.”
“No,” said the City Mouse, “I will take you to the cellar; there is something especial there.”
So, the City Mouse took his little friend down the cellar stairs and into a big cupboard where
there were many shelves. On the shelves were jars of butter, and cheeses in bags and out of bags.
Overhead hung bunches of sausages, and there were spicy apples
in barrels standing about. It smelled so good that it went to the
little Country Mouse's head. He ran along the shelf and nibbled at
a cheese here, and a bit of butter there, until he saw an especially
rich, very delicious-smelling piece of cheese on a queer little stand
in a corner. He was just on the point of putting his teeth into the
cheese when the City Mouse saw him.
“Stop! stop!” cried the City Mouse. “That is a trap!”
The little Country Mouse stopped and said, “What is a trap?”
“That thing is a trap,” said the little City Mouse. “The minute you touch the cheese with your
teeth something comes down on your head hard, and you're dead.”
The little Country Mouse looked at the trap, and he looked at the cheese, and he looked at the
little City Mouse. “If you'll excuse me,” he said, “I think I will go home. I'd rather have barley and
grain to eat and eat it in peace and comfort, than have brown sugar and dried prunes and cheese,
–and be frightened to death all the time!”
So, the little Country Mouse went back to his home, and there he stayed all the rest of his life.

Passage: Exploring The Ghibli Studio Museum
The Studio Ghibli Museum in Mitaka of

West Tokyo was designed by none other than
Hayao Miyazaki. Miyazaki is the famed director
behind the films My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited
Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Princess
Mononoke, and more. This museum is not a
typical museum filled with glass display
cases—it is a “portal to the storybook world”
where you can immerse yourself in the world
Miyazaki himself created.
Today I am so excited because I am going to visit the studio Ghibli Museum in Mitaka with
my friend. I am wearing a t-shirt from my favourite film “My Neighbor Totoro”. At the moment,
the studio is crowded. Visiting this museum takes some planning because purchasing Ghibli
Museum tickets is not easy. Tickets are perennially in high demand and visitors can only enter
the museum via making an advanced booking at an allotted time, but the trouble is worth the
trip.
My friend and I are approaching the entrance and
looking the Totoro at the "box office." It is a charming place
for a photo-op, but it is not a place to buy ticket for the Studio
Ghibli Museum. We are taking a picture before getting in to
the museum. Inside the Museum, we are exploring freely any
path around the facility. There are three floors of exhibits,
including a theatre, cafe, gift shop, and a rooftop garden.
Before reaching the rooftop garden, we are passing a room
with a life-size plush cat bus from the movie My Neighbor
Totoro, but only children aged 12 and under can play and climb there.
Right now, we are going around to the garden where a giant robot from Laputa: Castle in
the Sky is looming over us. Laputa is also my favourite film. I am so delighted to see it and feel
216
Unit 14
like being in Laputa's movie at the moment. We cannot believe that

we have spent five hours walking around this museum. Once you go
inside the museum, you can stay until the Ghibli Museum closes.
The Ghibli Museum's hours are from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm every
day except Tuesdays.
Our last stop is the Ghibli Museum's shop and the Straw Hat
Café. We are buying some desserts and drinks. Then we are
spending time in the Saturn
Theatre to shop some souvenirs for an hour. I am buying
some pop-up postcards and Ghibli chopstick and my friend
is buying the Ghibli Museum Shop tote bag and ornamental
stand in Silhouette design. It is a tiring day but we really
enjoyed the trip.

Preparation task
A Travel Guide to Bangkok

Whether you're traveling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you're likely to spend at
least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it's also an
exciting city with plenty of things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay
Where to stay
The Khao San Road was
a famous traveller spot
even before Leonardo di
Caprio's character in the
film The Beach stayed
there. But it's noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For
something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alternative
place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where every day Bangkok people eat, work and live.
It's not as convenient as the main tourist sites, but it has a Skytrain station so you can be at the
Grand Palace in 20 minutes.
223
Unit 15
How to get around

Bangkok's traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you
can easily take a taxi – if you want to spend
hours stuck in traffic jams – but there are two
much better ways to get around the city. To
explore the temples and historical sites, catch
an express boat river taxi or a longtail boat
along the Chao Phraya River and the canals.
For the modern part of the city, the Skytrain is
a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the shopping malls and nightlife of Sukhumvit, and
the famous Chatuchak street market.
Where to eat
The simple answer is everywhere! Thai
street food is among the best in the world,
and for around $5 you can eat a filling and
delicious meal. Some food stands have
little plastic seats where you can sit and
eat and they cook the same dish over and
over, like fried chicken on rice or Pad Thai
noodles. Head for Chinatown – Yaowarat
Street – and choose whatever looks most interesting from the many excellent Chinese and Thai
restaurants and food stands.
What to do
After you've seen the main sites like the Giant
Buddha at the temple of Wat Pho and the
spectacular Grand Palace, and shopped at
Chatuchak market, check out the snake farm and
watch the live snake show. You can even touch a
snake yourself if you want to!
224
Unit 15
Task 1
Match the Bangkok landmarks and places with the descriptions.
1. ……………………………… a place that you might see in the film The Beach
2. ……………………………… a place where local Thai people go
3. ……………………………… an alternative route through the city
4. ……………………………… a place to go for shopping and bars
5. ……………………………… a place to go for food
6. ……………………………… an important sightseeing spots
Task 2
Task 3
Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question.
On Women's Rights to Vote (1873)

"Fellow people in this here world": I stand before you tonight
under indictment for the alleged crime of having voted at the last
presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote. It
shall be my work this evening to prove to you that me thus voting,
I not only committed no crime, but instead, simply exercised my
citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by
the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny.
225
Unit 15
The preamble of the Federal Constitution says: "We, the people of the United States, in
order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquillity, provide for
the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to
ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of
America."
It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens;
nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who
formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the
blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of
ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole
people - women as well as men. And it is a downright
mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the
use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government -
the ballot.
For any state to make sex a qualification that

must ever result in the disfranchisement of one entire
half of the people, is to pass a bill of attainder, or, an ex
post facto law, and is therefore a violation of the
supreme law of the land. By it the blessings of liberty
are forever withheld from women and their female
posterity.
To them this government has no just powers derived from the consent of the governed. To
them this government is not a democracy. It is not a republic. It is an odious aristocracy; a
hateful oligarchy of sex; the most hateful aristocracy ever established on the face of the globe; an
oligarchy of wealth, where the rich govern the poor. An
oligarchy of learning, where the educated govern the
ignorant, or even an oligarchy of race, where the Saxon
rules the African, might be endured; but this oligarchy
of sex, which makes father, brothers, husband, sons, the
oligarchs over the mother and sisters, the wife and
daughters, of every household - which ordains all men
sovereigns, all women subjects, carries dissension, discord, and rebellion into every home of the
nation.
226
Unit 15
Webster, Worcester, and Bouvier all define a citizen to be a person in the United States,
entitled to vote and hold office. The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons?
And I hardly believe any of our opponents will have the hardihood to say they are not. Being
persons, then, women are citizens; and no state has a right to make any law, or to enforce any old
law, that shall abridge their privileges or immunities. Hence, every discrimination against
women in the constitutions and laws of the several states is today null and void."
1. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of what the speaker is wanting
to communicate in the first paragraph?
A. She is wanting to explain that she was under indictment for the alleged crime of having
voted in the election as she had no lawful right to vote as a women
B. She is wanting to prove that by voting she had simply exercised her citizen's rights and had
not committed a crime.
C. She wanted to outline the rights that she was entitled to as a citizen which were guaranteed
by the National Constitution.
2. The phrase "exercised my citizen's rights" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to:
A. to have done research to establish what her rights were as a citizen
B. to have brought attention to her citizen's rights
C. to put to use her personal rights which belonged to her by virtue of citizenship
3. The word 'preamble' in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to:

A. an introduction
B. an explanation
C. a preliminary or preparatory statement
4. All of the following are true about the speaker's interpretation of the Federal Constitution
EXCEPT:
A. the Constitution was formed to secure liberty to half of the citizens of the U.S.A
B. the Constitution was designed to protect the rights and liberty of all the citizens of the
U.S.A and not just men
C. It is unfair to suggest that women can enjoy their liberty when they don't even have the
right to vote.
227
Unit 15
5. In paragraph 5 the speaker is implying which of the following?

A. These women may have strong views about racism, sexism and the aristocratic oligarchy
that governs. They may also resent that men are treated as sovereigns and women as
subjects
B. The government has not been elected taking into account the viewpoints of the female
citizens of the U.S.A.
C. The population of the U.S.A has no trust in the government and the manner in which it uses
its powers.
6. The word 'oligarchy' in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to:

A. a superpower
B. a small group of people having control over a country or organisation
C. a group of aristocrats who abuse their power
7. In the last sentence of the passage what does the writer mean by 'null and void'?
A. having no validity or legal force; unenforceable
B. of no interest or importance; not relevant
C. not compatible with modern thinking or ideas
