The following text is for question number 6.

Thomas Matulessy, also known as Kapitan Pattimura or Ahmad Lussy or simply Pattimura, was an
Ambonese soldier and National Hero of Indonesia. Born on the island of Saparua, Pattimura joined
the British army after they took the Maluku islands from the Dutch colonials. When the islands were
returned to the Dutch in 1816, he was dismissed. Concerned that the Dutch would implement
 4

programs that limited his people, Pattimura led an armed rebellion that captured Fort Duurstede on 16
May 1817. Killing the inhabitants of the fortress and fighting off Dutch reinforcements, on 29 May he
was declared the leader of the Maluku people. After being betrayed by the King of Booi Pati Akoon,
he was captured by Dutch forces on 11 November and hanged the next month.
Pattimura has become a symbol of both Maluku and Indonesian independence, praised by President
Sukarno and declared a national hero by President Suharto. He has several namesakes both in the
capital of Maluku, Ambon, and in the rest of the Indonesian archipelago.

READING
The following text is for questions number 7-8.
The Proclamation of Indonesian Independence was read at 10.00 a.m. on Friday, 17 August 1945. The
document was signed by Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta, who were appointed president and vice-
president respectively the following day. The draft was prepared only a few hours earlier on the night
of 16 August 1945 by Sukarno, Hatta, and Soebardjo, at the house of Rear-Admiral Tadashi Maeda.
The wording of the proclamation had been discussed at length and had to balance both conflicting
internal Indonesian and Japanese interests. Sukarno drafted the final proclamation which balanced the
interests of both the members of the youth movement and the Japanese. The term ‘TRANSFER OF
POWER’ was used in Indonesian to satisfy Japanese interests to appear that it was an administrative
transfer of power, although the term used ‘pemindahan kekuasaan’ could be perceived to mean
political power. The wording ‘BY CAREFUL MEANS’ related to preventing conflict with members
of the youth movement. The wording ‘IN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME’ was used to meet the
needs of all Indonesians for independence.
Initially the proclamation was to be announced at Djakarta central square, but the military had been
sent to monitor the area, so the venue was changed to Sukarno's house at Pegangsaan Timur 56. The
proclamation was heard throughout the country because the text was secretly broadcast by Indonesian
radio personnel using the transmitters of the Jakarta Broadcasting Station.

It’s been too long since our last visit, and I thought I’d write to you to see how everything is. So, how
are you and the family doing? I remember precisely and perfectly Janice is just about to start
kindergarten, right? That must be exciting; she was always such a bright girl. And what grade is Silas
going into? 7th or 8th? He’s growing up so fast. They both are, really.
        My kids are getting ready for the school year as well. Galen just mentioned you guys the other
day while we were at the park. He remembered how Janice was throwing the pebbles last time and
asked when he’d get to play with her again. I really hope that I can tell him you’ll all be visiting soon.
You guys should drive up for a weekend out with us. There’s a new restaurant in town, and I think
you’d like it; it’s very simple and cozy.  
        We all miss you very much, Felyta, and the family is welcome to come visit any time at all. I

The following text is for question number 15.

The Great Wall of China is the largest and the longest wall to have ever built by humans. Several
walls were being built from as early as the 7th century BC by ancient Chinese states; selective
stretches were later joined together by Qin Shi Huang (220–206 BC), the first Emperor of China.
Little of the Qin wall remains. Later on, many successive dynasties have built and maintained
multiple stretches of border walls. The most well-known sections of the wall were built by the Ming
dynasty (1368–1644)
Collectively, the Great Wall stretches from Dandong in the east to Lop Lake in the west. The
construction materials  were mainly earth, wood, stones, sand, and bricks, used depending on
construction era and construction site with different climate and local materials. Its average height
ranges from 6 to 7 meters and the tallest part reaches around 14 meters. A comprehensive
archaeological survey, using advanced technologies, has concluded that the walls built by the Ming
dynasty measure 8,850 km. This is made up of 6,259 km sections of actual wall, 359 km of trenches
and 2,232 km of natural defensive barriers such as hills and rivers. The entire wall with all of its
branches measures out to be 21,196 km.

The following text is for questions number 16 to 17.

Studying is a dreaded word that many college students hate to hear, but how about doing it
internationally? Traveling the world is something many hope to do in life, so why not do it now while
in college?
Exposure to international countries will allow college students the incredible experience of traveling.
It also makes students aware of the way others work on a day-to-day basis. Students will also benefit
socially from studying abroad due to the independence traveling internationally brings someone.
Traveling abroad will make sure students will be more independent and mature than when they left.
This is due to the student getting out of their comfort zone and trying something new.
Studying abroad has many advantages. There is no substitution for “being there.” In the twenty-first
century we can experience things online but the only way to experience it fully is to travel.

The following text is for question number 18.

Smoking a cigarette may be a normal routine to some, but in reality, it is purely a harmful activity.
Ingesting smoke can be lethal, and can cause many diseases, such as cancer. But one common issue
that most smokers overlook is its impact on others. This is known as secondhand smoke, the smoke
produced from a cigarette or the smoke exhaled by a smoker. Secondhand smoke is a silent killer.
Smoking doesn't only affect people, but also the environment. I am fairly certain that every person in
this room has seen a cigarette butt lying somewhere, at some point in their lives. Whether it’s on the
curb of a neighborhood street, on the sandy beach, or in your favorite park, this litter can be found just
about anywhere. Most smokers don’t even believe that a cigarette butt is actually litter, but trust me, it
is.
I personally think that breathing clean and pure air is a basic right for any human being. Allowing
public smoking is taking away that right, and making the air we breathe in daily possibly harmful to
our well-being.
