line graph sets out the earnings[da1] of clothing exports of three countries in millions of dollars

between 1999 and 2003. Mainly two countries ran into [da2] the increase of exporting the
clothing, while another had come down [da3] in millions of dollars for it in a period of five years.

Colombia started at above 400 million dollars in 1999. The revenue of the fashion industry
climbed gradually, exceeded Japan’s clothing exports in 2000, and reached the highest income
at 700 million dollars in 2002.

In the last year of the period, Colombia’s clothing exports experienced a brief decline to finish as
the country with the highest income at just above 600 million dollars.

Although it experienced a slight decrease in the last year of the period, Colombia’s clothing
exports were the highest of all in 2003 with around 600 million dollars in sales.

In 1999, Myanmar had the lowest amount of the clothing exports at only about 10 million dollars.
From 1999 onwards, the exports of Myanmar increased sharply to peak at above 900 million
dollars in sales in 2001. The trend then reversed as the sales plunged in the next year, to reach
its lowest point at around 300 million of dollars in exports. The sales then gradually picked up to
finish at just above 400 million of dollars in exports, returning Myanmar’s position as country
with the lowest export of all.
 Besides [da4] a significant decline from 2001 to 2002 at above 300 million dollars, Myanmar saw
the greatest rise in a period of five year, peaked at more than 900 million dollars in 2001 and
ended 400 million dollars in 2003.

Japan, the highest exporter for clothing that almost reached 600 million dollars in 1999.

In 1999, Japan was the highest clothing exporter of three countries with the number of sales just
under 600 millions of dollars. This number was higher than Colombia and Myanmar whose
exports were only under 500 millions and 100 millions of dollars, respectively. Over the period,
aside from a slight increase in 2000 to 2001 and a peak at 600 millions of dollars, Japan’s
clothing exports experienced a steady decline to finish at just under 500 millions of exports in
2003.

experienced a gently [da6] decline in two periods, from 1999 to 2000 at a bit above 500 million
dollars and from 2001 to 2003 reaching the lowest export earnings at below 500 million dollars,
although from 2000-2001 the country export of clothing bounced back to the better earns at 600
million dollars. (buat penjelasan secara kronologis dan linear)

Task 2:

Do the following writing question

Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school
programmes (for example working for a charity, improving the neighborhood or teaching sports
to younger children).

To what extent do you agree or disagree? (write your answer in 250-300 words)

Do you love me? I could love you.

Unpaid community service as a part of compulsory activities for students in high school is
uncommon in Indonesia. However, this idea could be beneficial for them in practicing their soft
competencies. Students as the future leaders are expected not only mastering the knowledge
delivered in the class by teachers, but also requiring to possess a variety of experience that can
help them improve the communication skills as one of the soft competencies.

For instance, one of the programs is working for a charity in which there will be a situation that
may show the students unlucky people. Their empathy can be better by meeting diverse people
and understanding others. Moreover, the program could improve their communication skills and
teamwork because the programs necessitate the coordination among the students. Another
example of program is teaching sports to younger children. The students’ leadership will be
sharpened by leading and managing others in good manner. It could be challenging for the
students, but it is valuable for their future. Moreover, the programs can make the students feel
providing impact on their societies.

Indeed, the time allocation and type of the programs must be proportional and proper for the
students because they are still obligate to learn in the classroom. The school have to involve
parents and committee to decide what programs are suitable for them and how long the
programs will take. Parents and committee have a role to provide the information about students
that can leverage the quality of programs.

In conclusion, the unpaid community service as a part of compulsory activities for students in
high school conveys a fruitful and meaningful for the students because the activities can
improve their soft competencies.

Sample Answer

programmes (for example working for a charity, improving the neighborhood or teaching sports
to younger children).

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is argued that volunteering should be made part of the school curriculum. This essay agrees
with that suggestion completely because of the benefits it brings to pupils. The essay will first
look at how voluntary work can help students develop soft skills (1) and then discuss how these
extracurricular activities are valued by universities and employers (2).

Education should not be limited to strictly academic pursuits and those in education should also
develop life skills, such as teamwork, empathy and self-discipline, and one of the best ways to
hone these aptitudes is through community service. Serving those less fortunate than ourselves
teaches us many lessons including how to work with people from other backgrounds and the
value of hard work. For example, I personally volunteered to spend 6 weeks in Africa teaching
disadvantaged children and this led to a much higher work ethic when I returned to my studies.

Deduktif - general to specific - abstract to concrete/operational

Why, how, what, when, where,

Many colleges and companies are also increasingly looking for this type of experience. Most
school leavers have the same grades and charitable works can help set you apart from the herd.
For example, Cambridge and Oxford receive thousands of applications from straight-A students
every year and can only accept a small percentage of applicants. What you have done outside the
classroom is often the thing that differentiates you from everyone else and gets you that coveted
spot.
In conclusion, teenagers should be made to partake in unpaid work as part of their schooling
because it will help them learn things they wouldn’t ordinarily learn from their teachers and it
will also boost their chances of getting into third level education.

In winter, the sales of food tend to be higher than in Summer. Soup is sold around 50 bowls a
day in winter, twice higher than those of in summer with just around half of its sales in winter.
The sales of salad in winter and summer are the same with approximately 25 items sold each
day. Lastly, ice cream

The bar graph compares the number of selected foods sold on day-to-day sales for two seasons
at the Vista Café. The graph gives information about the average daily sales of five items
bought by the customer in Winter and Summer.

All in all, the ordered foods at the café in summer were similar in average, with iced coffee the
favourite one and soup as well as salad at the least. While in winter, the iced coffee is the least
favourite item at the Vista Café. The best-selling food is hot coffee followed by soup in the
second favoured choice and ice cream as well as salad as the next preferred food by the
customers.

Overall, the daily average sales in winter is higher than those in summer, especially for
hot coffee and soup. While in terms of item category, beverage outsells food especially
in winter with hot coffee as its top item sold.
In summer, the most popular item was the ice coffee with exactly 40 orders that is remarkably
different in winter about 2 sales. Then, the Vista café could sell the ice cream with
approximately 35 items and hot coffee with exactly 30 servings, followed by soup and salad with
around 25 sales.

Whereas, at the Vista café in winter, hot coffee was in the best choice for customers with just
over 70 items and followed by soup with exactly 50 sales. Ice cream and salad are the next best
foods with just around 25 items for each of them.

The bar chart sets out the comparison of generous Britons in giving money for the donation
based in percentage on their age ranges in the years 1990 and 2010. Jelaskan range umur

The bar charts include people from various age groups, including 18-25, 35-50, and >65 years
old.

Generally, all age ranges in 1990 had provided more funds compared to 2010. In terms of age
groups, the percentage of older people giving donations is higher than those of younger people.

In 1990, the 36-50 age group possessed the funds with just over 40% of population, followed by
the group ranges of 26-35, 51-65, and over 65 years old with just over 30%, around 33% and
exactly 35% of the population. The youngest group had the lowest percentage with just over
15% in 1990.

On the other hand, the 51-65 age group was the highest percentage of charity for others in 2010
with nearly 40%. The older and younger age were the same percentage at precisely 35%.
Then, the size of the 18-25 and 26-35 age group provided funds for the donation at about 5%
and nearly 25% of the population in 2020.
In some countries, an increasing number of people are suffering from health problems as
a result of eating too much fast food. It is, therefore, necessary for governments to
impose a higher tax on this kind of food.

Do you agree or disagree?

The number of people suffering the diseases caused by consuming fast foods is growing in
some countries. To deal with it, the government plans to create policy by raising the tax on fast
foods. The following arguments will provide the disagreements of the plans because the
problems are not solely affected by the junk foods. The arguments are explaining the other
possible factors of triggering the health problems and providing some preventive actions to
minimize the effects.

Junk food is not the main factor of the health issues experienced by the population. As
we know to get a healthy life, other factors such as exercises and enough sleep are crucial.
People who consume fast food but sleep well and exercise regularly can still have a healthy
body. Raising tax will not solve the problem, but worsen the situation as now people who might
be able to sleep well and exercise more because they can afford their meals have to look for
alternatives which can be more expensive.

Even if fast food is bad, raising taxes will make the problem worse because the root is addition
or dependency on this food. When people are addicted to this kind of food, they will still pay no
matter how expensive the item is. Hence, instead of addressing a health problem, levying tax
will create another problem, that is economic problem.

People's health is influenced by how they live in daily activities, such as what they drink, how
they do exercises, how long they sleep and what food they eat. By judging merely from the
consumed food is a mistake. People can get sick when they have less sleep and seldom
drink mineral water. For instance, you have a busy day and decide to stay up late. The next
morning you are tired because of it and aggravated by having less drink.

Some programs can be done to mitigate the effect of junk food for health.

Then exercise should be done regularly to maintain physical and mental health.

There are some programs that can be done to minimize the effect of junk foods for health.
Starting by managing the diet as the hardest part is the first essential step because people have
a tendency to eat or drink everything they love. Then, scheduling the regular exercises can
increase the metabolism of the body and keep the spirit spiritually healthy. Finally, choosing fun
activities can boost your mood and improve your mind. For instance, you can eat fast food once
a month and do some fun exercise twice a week.

Thus, it can be concluded that raising the fast food tax will not change the situation in which the
number of health problems rise. There must be other positive day-to-day activities done by
people to improve their health.
The two maps compare the development of Shipsmouth in the years 1997 and 2010. It can be
seen from the maps that Shipsmouth has been improved and extended, with much more public
transportations, tall buildings and entertainment sites.

Firstly, there was no apartment for living in 1995, but then the trees in the northwest of the map
had been cut down to build the apartment blocks. The previous factory near the lake has been
demolished and replaced by a shipping centre in which between it and the old station, the
football stadium was constructed. More trees have been cut down to build the airport in the
southeast. The obvious change is the house near the airport has been knocked down to
establish the wonderful skyscrapers.

Another major change to the area in 2010 was the replacement of the church into a pub.
Furthermore, the station has been extended to the north and the function of the roadway in
1995 in front of the city centre was changed to be a sidewalk for pedestrians in 2010.
 TASK 2

Currently the fresh graduates of senior high school in some countries are driven to work or
travel for a year before entering the university. Indeed, this circumstance is not only providing
them benefits but also placing them in drawbacks. (outline sebutkan di awal)

Principally, the benefits of having trips and working could help youths to more relax and enrich
their skills. Vacation could increase young people’s mood before having a tough time studying in
university. This relaxed mind when starting the class could determine the success for the whole
semester. Moreover, when youths decide to work, the possibility to gain experience related to
their next study will be inevitable. In office, youths have to face some problems that can develop
their decision making and communication skills. How they conveying their arguments to solve
the difficulties and socializing with diverse people could trigger the young people to be more
independent and have good leadership. For instance, in a meeting with the board of directors,
we have to do elevator pitch to make our explanation brief but understandable.

On the other hand, some unexpected drawbacks should be dealt with by the fresh graduates
when deciding to work or travel. First, Money could be the best distraction for young people.
Youths have a tendency not to continue their education because they work and can afford
their desired things. Moreover, having long trips for a year does not give the youths any useful
experience rather than spending much money. Vacationers must pay for hotels, transportation,
foods, drinks and gifts in which all of them entail a lot of money.

Moreover, vacation does not equal educational experiences as many journeys only focuses on
having fun, not information.

Not all vacation builds expertise or curriculum vitae. A gap year that can enrich students
experience and build their resume is the one that is aimed at building skills and mastery such as
a part time job. Students who use their gap year for vacation tend to only spend their money on
entertainment without educational purpose. This tendency occurs among many students. For
instance, students who go to Bali tend to only have experiences of enjoying the place without
learning the language and culture of Indonesia at all.

In conclusion, two sides of the same coin are present in this situation and the youths have to
deliberate the possible outcomes. One side could assist them to pursue and prepare the next
journey in the university, while another side is the high walls that are challenging to be passed
through. There are always opportunities and challenges.

In conclusion, a gap year can make students more refreshed and skillful before entering
university or the professional world, but this activity might backfire if the focus is on earning
money and getting entertained. Hence, a gap year needs to be planned carefully.
 TASK 1

The diagrams illustrate the two processes of honey production by involving bees and honey
farmers. The initial stage described in the left diagram shows the stages of generating the
honey by the bees, while another one in the right diagram illustrates the steps conducted by the
beekeepers to gain and sell the honey.

Firstly, in a honeycomb, the queen bee lays eggs that will hatch out in the next three weeks into
the bees. They then fly leaving the hive to collect nectar from flowers and back to the hive to
gather the nectar that eventually becomes honey. The cycle continues with the queen bee
laying an egg in the honeycomb made from the nectar.

Afterwards, a bee farmer chooses the best honeycomb that possesses much honey from the
hive to be extracted utilizing a machine. The next process requires the bee farmer to ensure the
honey hygiene by boiling it in a hot stove. Finally, the honey is poured into the packages that
can be distributed and sold to shops and customers.

ITB itu lebih baik dari UI : yes

UI itu tidak lebih baik dari ITB : no

Nowadays technology, such as the internet, handphone, and laptop, is rapidly utilized in
educational institutions. Teachers and students can gain the benefits when technology is widely
employed in the process of educating. While some argue that disadvantages of technology in
education are inevitable

The Internet, as technology, obviously breaks the limitation of information access which now
creates the possibility for everyone searching for everything they need for learning. Moreover,
teachers and students can conduct online classes without requiring them to meet in the same
place. This technology also accelerates the innovation in education by emphasizing the learning
goals and assists the teachers create the interesting activities for the students in the class. For
instance, the pandemic forces the education institutions to conduct all learning activities using
Zoom as an online meeting platform and utilizes videos and websites that can improve the
quality of teaching process. (masukan agree/disagree). This essay agrees that the benefit is
significant for education as many classroom practices such as lecturers can be made more
effective by the use of teleconference applications.

On the other hand, technology could be distractions for students during the class activities.
Handphones could be addictive for students because there are social media that attract them
every time. Additionally, information provided on the internet is not always reliable and valid that
misleads the students’ comprehension about the materials. For example, it is quite often the
students access their social media while the teacher is presenting the materials. Then, when
they get confused, they choose to understand them by reading articles on the internet without
checking the sources.(masukan agree/disagree) In line with the statement above, this essay
confirms the negative effect to be valid as many people rely too much on search engines tool
such as Google when looking for information.
It can be concluded that technology offers people the benefits by providing limitless information
and developing exciting activities (p2). Although the problems, such as the distractions and the
validity, must be considered (p3), the wise use of technology could bring greater positive
impacts for the teachers and the students in the learning activities.

Task 2

Cyber security when everything is uploaded online

Digital literacy to ensure students know the healthy amount of computer use

Digital natives, normal for students nowadays to rely much on technology because they have
been introduced to the device since childhood.

Ketergantungan pada yang bisa diandalkan, bisa digunakan, bisa diperbantukan

Crazy for you because you are attractive

The students’ dependency on technology is increasing over the period of time (conditions). This
essay sets out the most attractive technology, namely computers, for the students and argues
that there is a necessity to provide solutions for this situation. (problems dan solutions tidak
jelaskan di awal)

The addiction to computers harms the students’ physical (and mental) health because of the
duration. The emitting lights produced by the monitor could damage the eyes if the students are
careless about the distance and brightness of the monitor. Besides, sitting too long on the chair
while using the computer could hurt the students’ back bone. There was a case in which a
student loved to play games on the computer. The distance between the monitor and his eyes
was too close that eventually made him have to wear glasses.

(problem hanya satu, padahal dimintanya adalah problems (plural).

If the students are consciously aware that their habit of using computers must be balanced by
other activities to reduce the risks, they will stop using it. Firstly, the screen must be adjusted
based on the brightness of the room and put it in the proper and safe distance. In addition, after
sitting on the chair for about two hours, they need to do small exercises. For instance, a student
who has been using the computer for two hours, she has to walk for just 5 minutes.

(pembahasaan solusi kurang kuat, solusi belum tercemin expected resultnys, baru
prosedurnya).

Therefore, the students’ reliance on technology, especially the use of computers, can affect their
physical health, such as the eyes and the backbone. These issues can be solved by doing small
exercises and customizing the brightness and the distance of the monitor. These solutions can
minimize the jeopardies of the excessive use of the computers.
