The following text is for questions 1 to 4

The government has decided to submit the draft of the bill against pornography and
pornographic acts. The bill states that anyone engaging in pornography is punishable by law.
This includes public acts such as spouses kissing and people sunbathing in bikini or
swimwear. As a consequence, the bill causes controversy.

The government argues that the bill is made to protect women’s right. Women have so far
been the object of exploitation in mass media and this only gives more benefits to the owner
of the business.

Woman activists, on the other hand, argue that the bill will limit women’s freedom. They
believe the bill will dictate what women should wear and on how to dress and behave. If they
fail following the rule they will get penalties between Rp50 million and Rp1 billion.

Nevertheless, I do support the bill against pornography and pornographic acts. I believe that
the bill can decrease the rampant pornography shown or written in mass media that gives bad
effects on young generations.

The following text is for questions 13 to 15

Most people agree that some form of family limitation or spacing is desirable for the good of
the family and society. But individuals and groups– especially religious groups–differ sharply
on the methods of birth control that they consider moral and acceptable.

Couples that practice birth control do so for various reasons. They may want to limit or space
their children or to have no children at all. Young couples often postpone having children so
that both partners can work full-time. Other couples space their children so they can give
each child as much attention as possible. Some women are advised by their doctors to avoid
pregnancy for health reasons. In many countries with rapidly growing populations, the
government encourages couples to limit the size of their families.

Even though birth control has gained in acceptance, opposition to the practice is continuous.
Some people fear that birth control encourages sexual relations outside marriage or that
government might impose birth control. Some religious groups oppose birth control on moral
grounds.

Some religious groups teach that artificial methods of birth control are immoral because they
separate the two purposes of intercourse in marriage–conjugal love and the procreation of
children. Although they oppose all artificial birth control, they consider natural family
planning acceptable.

THE PRINCESS DIARIES

Meg Cabot
Harper Collins
Young Adult
ISBN: 0380814021
304 pages

As the hilariously funny tale called The Princess Diaries begins, Mia Thermopolis is just a
regular high school freshman at Albert Einstein High School. Well, as regular as you can be
when you live in a loft in downtown New York with your flighty artist Mom. And as regular
as you can be when your best friend is Lilly, a punky and spunky militant who produces her
ownTV show.

As readers can guess from the title, this book takes the form of a diary, written by Mia. Over
the pan of a month, she relates her daily woes and embarrassments in heart breaking detail.
As with most teenaged girls, Mia thinks she is hopeless, looks-wise. She's tall --- 5’9" --- and
klutzy, and not so gifted in the chest department.

Then there is school. One of Mia’s biggest problems is the fact she is flunking Algebra and,
to make matters worse, her Mom has begun dating her teacher. Gross.

In the boy department, the cutest one in school has the locker next to hers, but doesn't even
know Mia exists, even as his snooty girlfriend Lana, a popular cheerleader, torments her. And
to top it off, Mia is developing some sort of weird crush on Michael, Lilly’s computer nerd
brother.

Then one day, Mia finds out she is a princess. Okay, I know that doesn’t sound bad to most
girls, but Mia hates the idea instantly. How does this fairy tale come true? Her father is ruler
of the principality of Genovia and since Mia is his only child, she is next in line to the throne.
Her dad sends in the big guns to convince Mia that being a princess is what she is meant to
do: her formidable grandmother comes to New York to give Mia "Princess Lessons". And as
the word spreads around Albert Einstein High School that Mia is royalty, her life just gets
more crazy.

The ending of The Princess Diaries is a twisty one and will leave you jonesing for more
stories of Mia and the rest of her friends.
