Dear Fredy,
It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew
your mother was ill, for your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as
he at that time did not seem to think the illness was very serious, the news of
your mother’s death came to me as a shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt
sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for
you always thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it
also as a personal loss to myself, for your mother was always very kind to me.
Her death must be a terrible grief to your father, too. Please assure him of my
sincere sympathy.
Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”,
and in such sorrows we are always alone. However, it is not more words
when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.
Jean

I strongly believe that mobile phones are necessary. My reasons for this belief are that
these phones are convenient for business people who travel a lot, and they are handy for
emergencies.
To begin with, mobile phones are necessary in the case of emergencies. For instance, if you fall
down a set of stairs in a building and are badly injured and can’t reach a pay phone, it is handy to
have one to use. Or, if your car breaks down in the middle of the night in a strange
neighbourhood, it would be dangerous to leave it in search of a public phone booth.
My other main reason is that mobile phones are convenient for business people. For example, if
you are out of the state or even overseas and you have to contact a client to do some important
work, it is useful to have one to use. By using a mobile phone, important information can be
received. People can’t stay in an office all day waiting for their phone to ring. Some people have
to go and do jobs or they will go out of business. You can even send faxes or messages and use
the internet with your mobile. In conclusion,
I believe that mobile phones have now become a necessary part of every day life. Instant
communication will ensure that information can be passed on with a simple press of a button.
Whether this is to do with business or personal information or emergencies, it goes to show that
they are necessary in the new millennium.
26. How many reasons are used to support the writer’s opinion?
A. One reason
B. Two reasons
C. Three reasons
D. Four reasons
E. Five reasons
27. Why are mobile phones very convenient for bussines people?
A. They can contact clients.
B. They can do some important works.
C. They can run bussines by staying in and out office.
D. They can receive some important information.
E. They can send some data and surf Internet.

temporary houses for 400 families displaced by the recent strong earthquake that hit Sigi District,
Central Sulawesi Province.
Second Assistant Secretary of Sigi District Government Iskandar Nontji informed that the
temporary houses for 100 families will be constructed by Bank Mandiri in the South Sibayala
area of Dolo Sub-district. Meanwhile, Bank BNI will erect the temporary shelters for 300
families in Jonoge Village of Sigi Biromaru Sub-district that severely suffered from soil

government will facilitate all related parties to sign a letter of agreement.
“We are going to provide a letter of agreement that will be signed by all related parties to
avoid any unexpected eventuality in the future,” he explained.
Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new
cells and replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into
substances that can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is
called digestion.
The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into
small pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth.
Saliva contains digestive juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.
From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here,
the food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the
food enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing,
mixing and moving the food onwards.
In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic
branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.
