Analytical Text 2
To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, a number of dust bins should be increased. When we look at
classrooms, school corridors and school yard, there are paper mineral water cups, straws, and napkins here and there.
The condition of uncleanliness and discomfort really hinders learning and teaching environment. Litters thrown
carelessly cause disease, especially empty plastic cup or glasses. They can be filled out with water coming from the
rain. This can be placed for dengue mosquitoes to spread out. Besides, these rubbish can deteriorate the scene. Well
painted wall and green school yard do not mean anything litters are scattered everywhere. Anyway I notice that most
of the students in our school have responsibilities for the school environment. They put their litters on the proper
places. But some are not diligent enough to find the dust bins. The numbers of dust binds in our schools are not
enough. Ore dust bins should be put beside each of steps, outside of the classrooms, and some more also the
corridors. Probably one dust bin should be in every ten meters. So when students want to throw away their litters,
they can find the dust bins easily. When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, we do not have problems of
freak and discomfort any more. Our school will be very clean and become a nice place to study.

Analytical Text 3
School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. The uniform of a school may differ
from others. Why should schools use uniforms? Below are some reasons.
First of all, Notre Dame’s Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998 concerning school uniforms. Their
findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms have no direct effect on “substance abuse, behavioral
problems or attendance.” It also claimed a negative effect on student achievements for those students considered
‘pro-school’.
Secondly, uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of belonging to a particular community. As
such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic standards, which is why a uniform is often adopted by
schools which are being reopened with a fresh start after being classified as failing.
Finally, uniform acts as a social leveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes of the school and of each
other. In institutions without uniform students are often competitive and worry endlessly about their appearance and
the clothes they should wear. Pupils without expensive designer clothes and trainers may be singled out as social
outcasts, or stigmatized as being from poor backgrounds. For these reasons many parents prefer uniforms as they
save them money on buying clothes for school wear.
Considering the findings, schools should implement the uniform as their identity. The government should also
publish some kind of rule which makes uniform compulsory for schools.
11. What is the text about?
a. The school rules
b. The school identity
c. What we should wear at school
d. The importance of school uniform
e. The equally among students
12. In institutions without uniform students, one will be regarded poor because he/she ………..
a. does not wear a school uniform
b. cannot afford to buy a school uniform
c. wears no expensive designer clothes
 d. possess a bad academic record
e. has a bad attitude at school
13. “As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic standards ……” (Paragraph 3). What does
the it word refer?
a. Community
b. School ethos
c. Research finding
d. A study
e. Uniform
14. The last paragraph is about ……..
a. The writer’s suggestion
b. The writer’s arguments
c. The writer’s reasons
d. The writer’s general statement
e. The writer’s thesis
15. “…. Substance abuse, behavioral problems or attendance.” (Paragraph 2). The antonym of “attendance”

Faraday studied the magnetic field around a conductor carrying a DC electric current. While conducting these
studies, Faraday established the basis for the electromagnetic field concept in physics, subsequently enlarged upon
by James Maxwell. He similarly discovered electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and laws of electrolysis. He
established that magnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an underlying relationship between the two
phenomenA. His inventions of electromagnetic rotary devices formed the foundation of electric motor technology,
and it was largely due to his efforts that electricity became viable for use in technology.
As a chemist, Michael Faraday discovered benzene, investigated the clathrate hydrate of chlorine, invented an early
form of the Bunsen burner and the system of oxidation numbers, and popularized terminology such as anode,
cathode, electrode, and ion.
Although Faraday received little formal education and knew little of higher mathematics, such as calculus, he was
one of the most influential scientists in history. Historians of science refer to him as the best experimentalist in the
history of science. The SI unit of capacitance, the farad, is named after him, as is the Faraday constant, the charge on
a mole of electrons (about 96,485 coulombs). Faraday’s law of induction states that magnetic flux changing in time
creates a proportional electromotive force.
Faraday was the first and foremost Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, a
position to which he was appointed for life.
Albert Einstein kept a photograph of Faraday on his study wall alongside pictures of Isaac Newton and James Clerk
Maxwell.
Faraday was highly religious. He was a member of the Sandemanian Church, a Christian sect founded in 1730 that
demanded total faith and commitment. Biographers have noted that a strong sense of the unity of God and nature
pervaded Faraday’s life and work.
20. What was Michael Faraday expert?
a. science, history and religion
b. chemistry, electricity and calculus
c. electronic, technology and religion
d. chemistry, physic and mathematics
e. physic, technology and photography
21. Which of the following statements closely relates to Michael Faraday?
a. Michael Faraday dedicated his life in science and religion.
b. Michael Faraday was downhearted his life in science.
c. Michael Faraday concentrated his life in technology.
d. Michael Faraday was one of successful scientists.
e. Michael Faraday poured his science in technology.
22. Based on the first paragraph, we conclude that ….
a. Faraday and James found the similar electromagnetic
b. Faraday found the electromagnetic induction
c. James discovered a DC electric current
d. James invented the motor technology
e. Faraday found the motor technology

life, or a substantial part of it, seeking (at least in its classic version) to reconstruct his/her personal
development within a given historical, social and cultural framework. While autobiography on the one hand
claims to be non-fictional (factual) in that it proposes to tell the story of a ‘real’ person, it is inevitably
constructive, or imaginative, in nature and as a form of textual ‘self-fashioning’ ultimately resists a clear
distinction from its fictional relatives (autofiction, autobiographical novel), leaving the generic borderlines
blurred.

antiquity.
