The Proclamation of Indonesian Independence was read at 10.00 a.m. on Friday, 17 August 1945. The
document was signed by Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta, who were appointed president and vice-president
respectively the following day. The draft was prepared only a few hours earlier on the night of 16 August 1945 by
Sukarno, Hatta, and Soebardjo, at the house of Rear-Admiral Tadashi Maeda.
The wording of the proclamation had been discussed at length and had to balance both conflicting internal
Indonesian and Japanese interests. Sukarno drafted the final proclamation which balanced the interests of both the
members of the youth movement and the Japanese. The term ‘TRANSFER OF POWER’ was used in Indonesian to
satisfy Japanese interests to appear that it was an administrative transfer of power, although the term used
‘pemindahan kekuasaan’ could be perceived to mean political power. The wording ‘BY CAREFUL MEANS’
related to preventing conflict with members of the youth movement. The wording ‘IN THE SHORTEST
POSSIBLE TIME’ was used to meet the needs of all Indonesians for independence.
Initially the proclamation was to be announced at Djakarta Central Square, but the military had been sent to
monitor the area, so the venue was changed to Sukarno's house at Pegangsaan Timur 56. The proclamation was
heard throughout the country because the text was secretly broadcast by Indonesian radio personnel using the
transmitters of the Jakarta Broadcasting Station.

Hello Felyta!
It’s been too long since our last visit, and I thought I’d write to you to see how everything is. So, how are you
and the family doing? I remember precisely and perfectly Janice is just about to start kindergarten, right? That must
be exciting; she was always such a bright girl. And what grade is Silas going into? 7th or 8th? He’s growing up so
fast. They both are, really.
My kids are getting ready for the school year as well. Galen just mentioned you guys the other day while we
were at the park. He remembered how Janice was throwing the pebbles last time and asked when he’d get to play
with her again. I really hope that I can tell him you’ll all be visiting soon. You guys should drive up for a weekend
out with us. There’s a new restaurant in town, and I think you’d like it; it’s very simple and cozy.
We all miss you very much, Felyta, and the family is welcome to come visit any time at all. I hope all is well
with everyone. Please send hellos from all of us to your family. Talk to you soon.

The Great Wall of China is the largest and the longest wall to have ever built by humans. Several walls were
being built from as early as the 7th century BC by ancient Chinese states; selective stretches were later joined
together by Qin Shi Huang (220–206 BC), the first Emperor of China. Little of the Qin wall remains. Later on,
many successive dynasties have built and maintained multiple stretches of border walls. The most well-known
sections of the wall were built by the Ming dynasty (1368–1644)
Collectively, the Great Wall stretches from Dandong in the east to Lop Lake in the west. The construction
materials were mainly earth, wood, stones, sand, and bricks, used depending on construction era and construction
site with different climate and local materials. Its average height ranges from 6 to 7 meters and the tallest part
reaches around 14 meters. A comprehensive archaeological survey, using advanced technologies, has concluded
that the wall built by the Ming Dynasty measure 8,850 km. This is made up of 6,259 km sections of actual wall,
359 km of trenches and 2,232 km of natural defensive barriers such as hills and rivers. The entire wall with all of its

Read the text below and answer questions 24 and 25.

Smoking a cigarette may be a normal routine to some, but in reality, it is purely a harmful activity. Ingesting
smoke can be lethal, and can cause many diseases, such as cancer. But one common issue that most smokers
overlook is its impact on others. This is known as secondhand smoke, the smoke produced from a cigarette or the
smoke exhaled by a smoker. Secondhand smoke is a silent killer.
Smoking doesn't only affect people, but also the environment. I am fairly certain that every person in this
room has seen a cigarette butt lying somewhere at some point in their lives. Whether it’s on the curb of a
neighbourhood street, on the sandy beach, or in your favorite park, this litter can be found just about anywhere.
Most smokers don’t even believe that a cigarette butt is actually litter, but trust me, it is.
I personally think that breathing clean and pure air is a basic right for any human being. Allowing public
smoking is taking away that right and making the air we breathe in daily possibly harmful to our well-being.

24. “Smoking doesn't only affect people, but also the

environment.”

From the sentence above we can say that people and

environment … by smoking.
A. are affected
B. were affected
C. will be affected
D. have been affected

25. What does the writer mean by stating “Allowing

public smoking is taking away that right and
making the air we breathe in daily possibly harmful
to our well-being”?
A. The writer wants people stop smoking.
B. The writer wants public areas to be free from
smoking.
C. The writer decides to take a breath in a certain
area.
D. The writer is eager to smoke at home.

The following text is for questions 26 to 28.

Trees and plants are also living beings. They need food, water and air to survive. It is interesting to know
how they take their food.
Plants get their food both from the earth and the air. If you look at their roots, they are like fine fibres. We
call them root hairs. They absorb water and minerals and transport them upwards to the leaves through the trunk
and the branches.
Chlorophyll in the leaves prepares the food like a machine. It converts the carbon dioxide taken from the air
and water from the ground into sugar with the help of sunlight. This chemical reaction is called photosynthesis.
Sugar is further converted into starch and is stored in the plant. The minerals are converted by chemical
processes into proteins, juice, oil, and other edible materials. The plants use these materials as their food for
growth.

26. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?

A. The process of how the plants take their food is
interesting.
B. Chlorophyll in the leaves prepares the food like
a machine.
