The gardens of the Bali water palace in Tirtagangga were designed and constructed in
1948 by Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut Karangasem (1887 – 1966), who was the last Raja (King)

with ponds and many sculptures.
The complex on the lowest level has two large ponds and a water tower. At the second
complex (middle level) of the Bali water palace are the swimming pools.

Eucalyptus is a species of flowering trees.
This plant has bark that is either smooth, fibrous,
hard or stringy. The leaves have oil glands. The
sepals and petals are fused to form a "cap" over
the stamens. The fruit is a woody capsule.
Most species of Eucalyptus are native to
Australia, and every state and territory has
representative species. About three-quarters of
Australian forests are eucalypt forests. Wildfire is a
feature of the Australian landscape and many
eucalypt species are adapted to fire, and resprout after fire or have seeds which survive
fire.
A few species are native to islands north of Australia and a smaller number are only
found outside the continent. Eucalypts have been grown in plantations in many other
countries because they are fast growing and have valuable timber. They can also be used
for pulpwood, for honey production or essential oils. In some countries, however, they have
been removed because they are highly flammable.
Eucalypts vary in size and habit from shrubs to tall trees. Trees usually have a single
main stem or trunk but many eucalypts are mallees (multistemmed) from ground level and
rarely taller than 10 m.

Text for questions number 38 – 39.

A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused
by reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light in water droplets. It
causes a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of
a multicoloured circular arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always
appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.
Rainbows can be full circles. However, the observer normally
sees only an arc formed by illuminated droplets above the ground,
and centered on a line from the sun to the observer's eye.
In a primary rainbow, the arc shows red on the outer part and
violet on the inner side. This rainbow is caused by light being refracted when entering a droplet
of water, then reflected inside on the back of the droplet and refracted again when leaving it.
In a double rainbow, a second arc is seen outside the primary arc, and has the order of
its colours reversed, with red on the inner side of the arc. This is caused by the light being
reflected twice on the inside of the droplet before leaving it.

A. explain a general description of rainbows
B. describe a beautiful rainbow on Earth
C. show how beautiful the rainbow is
D. tell about the types of rainbows
