B. Reading Section: What is Electricity?

Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence
and motion of matter that has a property of electric charge. Electricity is related
to magnetism, both being part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as
described by Maxwell's equations. Various common phenomena are related to
electricity, including lightning, static electricity, electric heating, and electric
discharges and also many others.
The presence of an electric charge, which can be either positive or
negative, produces an electric field. The movement of electric charges is
an electric current and produces a magnetic field.
When a charge is placed in a location with a non-zero electric field, a force
will act on it. The magnitude of this force is given by Coulomb's law. If the charge
moves, the electric field would be doing work on the electric charge. Thus we can
speak of electric potential at a certain point in space, which is equal to the work
done by an external agent in carrying a unit of positive charge from an arbitrarily

4
chosen reference point to that point without any acceleration and is typically
measured in volts.
Electricity is at the heart of many modern technologies, being used for:
electric power. Here the electricity deals with electric current which is used to
energize equipment. It can also be used for electronics. Here the electricity deals
with electrical circuits which involve active electrical components such as vacuum
tubes, transistors, diodes and integrated circuits, and associated passive
interconnection technologies.
Electrical phenomena have been studied since antiquity, though progress
in theoretical understanding remained slow until the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries. The theory of electromagnetism was developed in the 19th century, and
by the end of that century electricity was being put to industrial and residential use
by electrical engineers. The rapid expansion in electrical technology at this time
transformed industry and society, becoming a driving force for the Second
Industrial Revolution. Electricity's extraordinary versatility means it can be put to
almost limitless set of applications which include transport, heating, lighting, and
communications, and also computation. Electrical power is now the backbone of
modern industrial society.

Answer the following questions based on the passage above!

1) What is electricity?
2) What are various common phenomena which are related to electricity?
3) What can be produced by electric field?
4) When a charge is placed in a location with a non-zero electric field, what
will act on it?
5) Why do you say that electricity is at the heart of many modern
technologies?

C. Writing Section: Friendly Letters

5
 Almost everybody need to write letters for one or more purposes. A son
sends a letter to his parents in hometown asking for some money, a businessman
in New York writes a business letter to his partner in Indonesia and so on.
Therefore, whatever is the subject that a student majors in, he or she should study
how to write a letter, i.e., how to write friendly letters, social notes and business
letters. No Matter what kind of letter you write, you should remember that
you have to make your letter clear. When your letter is read, you will not be there
to explain what you mean. In order not to leave out important details in a business
letter, plan what you are going to say and how you are going to say it.
Furthermore, if you will think about what you are going to say before you write a
friendly letter, then you can avoid many careless errors that often interfere with
clarity. You also have to write an attractive letter. Take
pride in the appearance of your letter. A letter represents you. If you send a neat
and clearly written letter, the receiver will respect you as a considerate person. On
the other hand, if you mail a messy letter, then your reader’s opinion will drop
accordingly. Especially is this true in the business world. Many times a
businessman receives letters from people whom he has never met and never will
meet. The writer is judged entirely by his letter. If a businessman receives a
messy, illegible letter, he naturally assumes that the writer either doesn’t know
any better or doesn’t care enough to take the time to make the letter readable and
attractive. Next, you also have to use
correct English punctuation, and spelling. A letter filled with errors in writing will
not only lead the reader to believe that you are uneducated but will also mar the
clear expression of your ideas. Run-on sentences, mistakes in usage like “he
done” or “for Joe and I,” and misspelled words like “dosen’t” or “truble” will
never make a good impression upon your reader. Remember that you
have to be yourself. Above all else, be natural. Don’t make your letters sound like
an English teacher or a clever friend of yours. Moreover, don’t be a slavish
imitator of models of letters in textbooks. Originality is always better than
imitation. There are few better ways of reflecting your personality than a letter
written by you, in your own style, saying what you want to say.

The friendly letter is informal, casual and personal. It is the kind of letter
you write to your family and friends. Although there are no rigid, inflexible rules
for writing friendly letters, you should learn to follow a few accepted practices.
You have to choose stationary and ink that are appropriate for friendly letters. Use
letter stationary, preferably white or lightly tinted. Writing on paper that is gaudy
or that reeks with perfume is considered poor taste. Do not write a letter of any
kind on lined paper. Instead of using a pencil, you should always write in ink,
which is much easier to read and is more attractive on the page. Use blue, black,
or blue-black ink. If you like green, purple, or red ink, use it for writing to only
your closest friends; never use it for writing to a new acquaintance or someone
else that you do not know very well. It is all right to type friendly letters, but be
sure to sign your name in ink. If you type your letter, do not strike over letters or

8
make messy erasures on your paper. Whether you type or use longhand, always be
neat.
You also have to observe standard practices regarding the arrangement of
the pages of a friendly letter. You should arrange your letters so that your reader
can easily follow your train of thought. Pay special attention to the margins, page,
order, and spacing. Be sure to have even margins on both sides of the page. Don’t
run lines or afterthoughts up and down the margins. If you must add something
you forgot to include, use a postscript (P.S.). Also remember that margins at the
top and bottom of the page are just as important as those at the sides. If you use
folded stationary and if your letter is more than two pages long, use the page order
of a book. Write the second page on the back of the first page. If your letter is
only two pages long, however, write your second page on the third page of your
stationary. Before mailing the letter, check to see that each page is in the proper
order. Always have at least two lines of your last paragraph on the last page of
your letter. Never finish your last paragraph on one page and then put the closing
and signature on the next.
You have to learn the proper form for the five parts of a friendly letter. The
parts of the friendly letter are the heading, solution, body, closing, and signature.
The form below shows where these parts are placed upon the page.

Sender’s Address

Attention:
The first line of the sender’s address is your street address, number of your
rural route, or your post office box number. The second line has the name of your
town, followed by the postal zone number if there is one, and the name of your
state. A comma is placed after the zone number, between the town and the state.
The third line gives the month, day, and year that the letter is written: a comma
comes after the day of the month.
Example: 4801 Live Oak Street Jalan Padi 2 Blok A No.11
Dallas 4, Texas Perumahan Pusri Sako Kenten, Palembang
March 6, 2019 March 10, 2019
The rules for the sender’s address and the date are, of course, flexible
depending upon the person to whom you are writing. For instance, if you are
writing to your father, who is away for a few days on business, then certainly you
would not need to give him your home address, and “Tuesday morning” or
“Friday night” might enough for the date. You give your complete address and the
exact date when you are not sure that the receiver knows this information. If you
prefer, you may put your address and the date at the end of the letter --- in the
lower left-hand corner of the page.

Since, in the mind of some readers, abbreviations give the impression of

careless haste, it is better not to use abbreviations. If you do use them, however,
be consistent by abbreviating the word Street as well as the name of the state.

10
 Your salutation greets the reader. The usual form is the word Dear
followed by the name of the person to whom you are writing. A comma comes
after the salutation, examples:
- Dear George,
- Dear Augusta,
- Dear Sis,
- Dear Mr. Nelson,
The body is the letter itself. Be sure to divide your letter into paragraphs,
making clear indentions of the first line. If you type your letter, you have to
double space below the salutation, between paragraphs, and before the closing.
Among the many appropriate closings for a friendly letter are: Sincerely
yours, Sincerely, Love, with love, affectionately. Do not use formal phrases such
as Very truly yours or respectfully yours, which are found in business letters.
Notice that only the first word of the closing is capitalized. Whether you type your
letter or write it in longhand, always sign your name below the closing. Write
legibly, and do not trail off into the space reserved for the right margin.
You have to address the envelope correctly. Place your own name and
address in the upper left-hand corner of the envelope. Do not give yourself a title
such as Miss or Mr. You do, however, always use a title like Mr., Mrs., Miss, Dr,
before the name of the person to whom you are writing. (Notice that Miss, which
is not an abbreviation, is never followed by a period.) Place his or her name and
address on the lower half of the envelope, about midway between the ends. Do not
use such abbreviations as St., Ave., Rd., on the envelope, and do not abbreviate
the name of the state. You may write the name of the state on a separate line.

 You also have to make the content of your friendly letters lively and
interesting. The most important things for you to remember when writing friendly
letters are to be yourself and to say what you mean. Certainly this book cannot tell
you what to say in your letters. After all, a friendly letter is like a conversation,
and your letters should be filled with lovely, original comments that reflect your
interests and personality. There are, however, several “do s” and “don’t s” that
you should keep in mind as you write friendly letters.
Next, you also have to write about those things that will interest your
reader. Just as a good speaker considers his audience, a good letter writer
remembers the interests of the person to whom he is writing. Your friend Bill may
enjoy hearing about your recent hunting trip; whereas your Aunt Martha may be
more interested in canning strawberries. If you are writing to your grandmother,
she will probably want to know the news about your family and the progress
you’re making at school. When you are corresponding with friends of your own
age, write about what you and they usually talk about when you are together. In
short, make the content of your letter appropriate to the receiver.
The letter should be specific. Generalizations are always dull. A sentence
like “School is about the same” is never so interesting as one with specific details,
such as “At school, Miss McMahan is still harping about our errors in spelling,
and Jerry Cates keeps on making up different excuses for dragging in late to math
class every morning.” Telling in detail about a definite incident at home is always
more interesting than a lazy comment like “The family is fine.”
Talking about mutual friends is always interesting and appropriate. Do not,
however, make sarcastic remarks or repeat malicious gossip. Instead, look at your
friends’ good characteristics as you speak of what they say, where they go, and
what they do.
Don’t ask too many questions. Don’t start your letter with a series of
questions like “How goes it with you? Are you still going out with Larry? Has
your father started teaching you to drive yet? Are you and he still arguing about
money? What have you been doing lately? Why don’t you write to me more
often?” (The answer to the last question is rather obvious.) The person to whom

12
you write wants a letter from you, not a nosy questionnaire.
Write a strong last paragraph. When you plan a composition, you
often save the most important point until the last; and when you write a letter, you
should make the last paragraph especially interesting. Don’t suddenly stop with
I’ve got to go eat now, No more news, or I’ll see you in my dreams. Instead, you
might suggest that your friend plan to visit in your home or that you may have
other interesting news to report in your next letter, after the ball game on Friday or
the dance on Saturday. Or you might make reference to something you would like
to hear about when your friend answers your letter.

D. Structure and Grammar Section

The sentences can be classified based on its function.
They are: 1) Declarative Sentences; 2) Imperative Sentences; 3) Exclamatory
Sentences; and 4) Interrogative Sentences.
Declarative sentence is a sentence that gives information or ideas to the
readers. Declarative sentence is ended with a simple period, for examples:
1. The course starts at seven in the morning.
2. It’s raining today.
3. TV announcer is reading hot issues for today.
4. He is very discipline.
5. My daughter is drawing a yellow duck.
Imperative sentence is a sentence that gives commands or requests or
expresses a desire or wish. It is punctuated with a simple period or they can be
exclamations requiring an exclamation mark, for example:
1. Stop!
2. Switch on the light.
3. Open the door.
4. Please open your book on page 215.
5. Call me as soon as possible.
Exclamatory sentence is a sentence that expresses strong emotion.
Exclamatory sentence ends in an exclamation mark, for examples:

13
 1. What a beautiful long dress she has!
2. How lovely she is!
Interrogative sentence is a sentence that asks a question and end in a
question mark, for examples:
1. Are you okay?
2. Is it the restaurant?
3. Are you a student or a teacher?
4. What do you want to have for breakfast?
5. You are a student, aren’t you?

The sentences can also be classified based on its clause structure. They
are: 1) Simple Sentences; 2) Compound Sentences; 3) Complex Sentences; and 4)
Compound-complex Sentence.
Simple sentence has only one independent clause. A simple sentence has
one unit of the subject and one unit of the predicate, for examples:
1. My father plays golf with his friends.
2. James and Jonathan completed their assignment.
3. The students are studying English now.
Compound sentence has at least two independent clauses which are
connected with the help of coordinating conjunctions such as and, for, but, nor,
yet, so, or. If there is no conjunction, you can use semi-colon.  The following are
examples of compound sentences.
1. I walked quickly, but I missed the train.
2. My mother prepares the main course, and my father prepares for the
dessert.
3. There was lightning outside so I closed the window.
4. There was landslide in the city; the police immediately close the main
street to disaster location.

A complex sentence has one independent clause and one or more

dependent clauses. A subordinating conjunction or relative conjunction connects

14
these clauses. The dependent clauses can be adverbial clauses (when it answers
the questions, “when, where, why, how), noun clauses (when it answers the
question, “what”) or adjective clauses (when it answers the questions, “who,
whom, which). The subordinating conjunctions that connect the dependent clause
with the independent clause can be words like although, though, since, therefore,
whenever, wherever, when, which, so that, until, after, before, because, if, and so
on. The following are examples of complex sentences.
1. My father feels sleepy whenever he watches TV.
2. His motor cycle stopped at the main hall of crematorium, which was white
and big.
3. When your parents give some advice to you, listen carefully.
4. I use my umbrella because it is raining.
