The following text is for questions 1 and 2
Dear Dr. Hambali Sahali,
We would like to invite you and your staff to visit our school SMP Duta Bangsa, where we are
engaged in an exciting service learning project.
Service-learning is a teaching method that engages our students in solving problems within their
school and communities as an integral part of their academic studies. It is hoped that students master
important curriculum content by making meaningful connection between what they study and its real-
life applications. Besides, students become more effective citizens through acts of kindness, community
stewardship and civic action. This effort is made possible with support from Learn and Serve America,
a program of the corporation for National and Community Service.
May we suggest that you visit us on January 11, 2010 at 10 o’clock? This will give you an
opportunity to see our program in action. We have also invited our community partners, members of the
local media, and several families of students whom we serve. They are eager to talk to you about the
importance of investing in service-learning activities in our local community.
We have enclosed a one page profile of our program for your reference. I will contact your office
within the next two weeks to follow-up on this invitation. Again, we do hope you can join us on this
occasion.
Thank you very much for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Andy Sehatapi

The following text is for questions 3 to 6.

Antibiotic is a drug produced by certain microbes. Antibiotics destroy other microbes that
damage human tissues. They are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, including gonorrhea,
tonsillitis and tuberculosis. Antibiotics are sometimes called ‘wonder drugs’ because they can cure
diseases such as meningitis, pneumonia and scarlet fever. But when the antibiotics are overused, or
misused, these drugs make a person sensitive being attacked by a superbug.
Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous microbes. If a drug
destroys too many harmless micro-organisms, the pathogenic ones -the dangerous microbes-
will have a greater chance to multiply. This situation often leads to the development of a new
infection called superinfection. Extensive use of some antibiotics may damage organs and tissues. For
example, streptomycin, which is used to treat tuberculosis, has caused kidney damage and deafness.
Resistance to antibiotics may be acquired by pathogenic microbes. The resistant microbes
transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes and cause them to become resistant. During
antibiotic treatment, non-resistant microbes are destroyed, but resistant types survive and multiply.
To avoid the side effect of antibiotics, you'd better not urge your doctor to prescribe antibiotics.
Keep in mind that antibiotics are only useful for bacterial infections and have no effect on viruses, so
they cannot be used for children pox, measles, and other viral diseases.

The following text is for questions 10 and 11

Nine traditional Balinese dances have been recognized as part of the world’s intangible cultural
heritage following a UNESCO session in Namibia on Wednesday. Balinese dances included on the list
were the Barong Ket, Joged Bumbung, Legong Keraton, Topeng Sidhakarya, Baris Upacara, Sanghyang
Dedari and Rejang dances, as well as the Wayang Wong and Gambuh dance dramas.
“We are very pleased with the recognition; it enables Bali to receive protection in terms of traditional
dance preservation as well as economic benefits in the future,” said Bali Cultural Agency head Dewa Putu
Beratha on Wednesday night as quoted by Antara news agency. During the UNESCO session, Indonesia’s
proposal regarding the dances reportedly ranked 18th among a total of 35 countries. “The nine dances
represent Balinese dance as a whole based on their historical concept, function and style,” said Dewa.
According to Dewa, the Rejang, Sanghyang Dedari and Baris Upacara dances represented the Wali
dance, which is usually performed during processions. Meanwhile, the Topeng Sidhakarya dance and
Gambuh and Wayang Wong dance dramas are part of the Bebali dance, known as a semi-sacred and
ceremonial dancE. The Legong Keraton, Joged Bumbung and Barong Ket dances are a representation of
the Balih-Balihan dance that serves social and entertainment purposes.
The Wali dance is said to have originated between the eighth and 14th centuries. The Bebali dance and
Balih-Balihan dances are believed to have come from the 14th-19th century and 19th centuries,
respectively.
“The community has actively played an important role in preserving these traditional dances, especially
the Wali dancE. Meanwhile, the Bali provincial administration and its city and regency administrations
should increase their role in preserving the Bebali and Balih-Balihan dances during tourist events,” said
Dewa

London: Prince Harry underwent an HIV test today that was broadcasted live to raise awareness for
HIV/ AIDS. The test, which involved a pinprick an took about a minute, was performed at Guy’s and
St. Thomas’ Hospital in London. The 31-year-old prince tested negative for HIV.
Kensington Palace announced last month that Harry would be devoting a significant amount of his
charitable work to HIV awareness to carry on his mother’s legacy.
Harry told viewers watching the live broadcast, “We all shouldn’t be on the other side saying,
“You should get the test.” Everybody should get it.”
Harry, fifth in line to the British throne, will attend the International AIDS Conference in Durban,
South Africa, next week. He is scheduled to speak alongside Elton John and Sentebale’s other co-
founder, Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, at the event.

The following text is for questions 14 to 17.

Local or traditional languages are at risk of being lost when they are not taught to younger generations
anymore, while fluent speakers of the languages (usually the elderly) gradually die. It is our concern, as a
community, when local or traditional languages are no longer spoken or taught. Thus, there is a need to teach
children local or traditional languages. Here are four factors to consider why we should teach children local or
traditional languages.
First, language and culture are intertwined. Language is the vehicle in which family culture and values are
often transmitted. Learning a local or traditional language will help children learn about the culture and gain
more appreciation and respect for different cultures.
Second, local or traditional languages can strengthen family ties. Being able to communicate with
grandparents and extended family members in a home language can help bring a family closer together.
Besides, being able to speak a local or traditional language will help build a good relationship with the
community, especially the elderly people.

Third, teaching local or traditional languages to children may help preserve the languages since the
remaining fluent speakers of the language are generally the older members of the community. It may happen
that when the elderly pass on, the languages die with them.
Fourth, learning local or traditional languages can improve children’s communication abilities. Children
with multiple language skills can differentiate and identify what language to speak and with whom.
Teaching local or traditional languages to children is important to keep the languages from disappearing.
Parents or teachers at schools can start with simple ways of teaching such as by speaking the language regularly
and encouraging the children to respond and also being proud of speaking the local or traditional language.

The following text is for questions 18 to 20.
A laptop is a kind of computer unit which has the same function as a PC (personal computer), but it is
smaller, lighter and of different sizes. Nowadays, most people choose laptops for several reasons.
A laptop is a portable device. This portability is very helpful for our work, study and other activities. We
do not need complicated cable installation to activate a laptop, and with a laptop, we can do our work anytime
anywhere.
Moreover, a laptop allows us to access the internet in public places which provide free access called hot
spot areas. Some people like to use this facility to carry out their tasks.
Finally, a laptop consumes energy more efficiently than a PC does. This device uses a rechargeable
battery as a source of electric energy. So if we prefer using a laptop, it means that we support the government
program to save energy.
That’s why a laptop has become very popular recently.

question.
Meetings can waste a great deal of time.
But you can make your meeting run more
smoothly by following a few simple rules.
First, have an agenda. This will help keep
you focused on what is important. Next,
decide who needs to be involved. More
people means less efficient discussion.
Finally, keep the discussion moving.
Thank each speaker as he or she finishes
and move on to the next speaker. This
encourages people to make their remarks
brief. And don’t forget: What happens
after a meeting is more important than
what happens during the meeting. The
skills used then are more professional and
less procedural. So no matter how well
you run a meeting. It is the work that gets
done after the meeting this important.
