Dear Frodi,
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 mere words when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.
Your sincere friend,
Jean
Arti
Kepada Frodi ,
Sungguh kesedihan yang saya dengar pagi ini tentang kehilangan besar Anda. Aku tahu ibumu sakit, karena kakakmu memberitahuku beberapa minggu yang lalu. Namun, karena dia pada waktu itu tampaknya tidak berpikir penyakitnya sangat serius, berita kematian ibumu datang kepada saya sebagai kejutan. Anda memiliki simpati yang tulus dan sepenuh hati, teman baik saya, dalam kesedihan Anda. Saya tahu Anda akan merasakannya dalam-dalam, karena Anda selalu begitu memikirkan ibu Anda dan sangat mencintainya. Saya merasakannya juga sebagai kerugian pribadi bagi diri saya sendiri, karena ibumu selalu sangat baik kepada saya. Kematiannya pasti sangat menyedihkan bagi ayahmu juga. Tolong yakinkan dia akan simpati tulus saya.
Kata-kata, saya tahu, adalah selimut yang buruk. “Hati tahu kesedihannya sendiri”, dan dalam kesedihan seperti itu kita selalu sendirian. Namun, itu bukan kata-kata belaka ketika saya mengatakan bahwa saya merasa bersama Anda dalam kesedihan Anda.
Temanmu yang tulus,
Jean

Dear Susan,
It feels like such a long time since the last time I saw you. I know it’s only been several weeks since I saw you. So far my summer has been great!
I spend my all my weekends at the beach. I am getting a nice tan and you can no longer say I am paler than you. I have been playing lots of volleyball, surfing and building a nice collection of sea shells. Just this past week-end I took second place in a sandcastle building contest!
On the weekdays I work. I drive an ice cream truck around and sell ice cream to the kids. It is so cool. It is a combination of the two things I love most, ice cream and kids. The pay isn’t too great but I love the job so much.
I hope the summer’s been going well for you too. There’s only a month and a half left in summer vacation and after that it’s back to school. Would you like to meet up some time before school starts?
Your friend,

Saya menghabiskan akhir pekan saya di pantai. Saya mendapatkan cokelat yang bagus dan Anda tidak bisa lagi mengatakan saya lebih pucat daripada Anda. Saya telah bermain banyak bola voli, berselancar dan membangun koleksi kerang laut yang bagus. Baru-baru ini di akhir minggu lalu saya menempati posisi kedua dalam kontes membangun istana pasir!
Di hari kerja saya bekerja. Saya mengendarai truk es krim dan menjual es krim kepada anak-anak. Itu sangat keren. Ini adalah kombinasi dari dua hal yang paling saya sukai, es krim dan anak-anak. Bayarannya tidak terlalu besar tetapi saya sangat menyukai pekerjaan itu.
Saya harap musim panas juga berjalan baik untuk Anda. Tinggal satu setengah bulan lagi di liburan musim panas dan setelah itu kembali ke sekolah. Apakah Anda ingin bertemu beberapa saat sebelum sekolah dimulai?

Learning English


Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix pleasure with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to your English progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why we use songs in language learning.

Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the last song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both enjoyable and sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the idea that songs work on our short-and-long term memory.

Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of repetition, which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that they are effective makes them many times more motivating than other text. Although usually simple, some songs can be quite complex syntactically, lexically and poetically, and can be analyzed in the same way as any other literary sample. 

Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most pop songs and probably many other types don’t have precise people, place or time reference.

In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage harmony within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools in sustaining culture, religion, patriotism and yeas, even revolution.

Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs such as studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension, translating songs, learning vocabulary, spelling and culture.

From the elaboration above, it can be concluded that learning through music and songs, learning English can be enjoyable and fun.

Dust Bin

To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, a number of dust bins should be increased.
When we look at classrooms, school corridors and school yard, there are paper mineral water cups, straws, and napkins here and there.  The condition of uncleanliness and discomfort really hinders learning and teaching environment. Litters thrown carelessly cause disease, especially empty plastic cup or glasses.  They can be filled out with water coming from the rain.  This can be placed for dengue mosquitoes to spread out.  Besides, these rubbish can deteriorate the scene.  Well painted wall and green school yard do not mean anything litters are scattered everywhere.

Anyway I notice that most of the students in our school have responsibilities for the school environment.  They put their litters on the proper places.  But some are not diligent enough to find the dust bins.  The numbers of dust binds in our schools are not enough.   Ore dust bins should be put beside each of steps, outside of the classrooms, and some more also the corridors.  Probably one dust bin should be in every ten meters.  So when students want to throw away their litters, they can find the dust bins easily.

When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, we do not have problems of freak and discomfort any more.  Our school will be very clean and become a nice place to study.

a.       should be decorated 
b.      should be painted 
c.       should be placed 
d.      are unnecessary 
e.       are not required
 
21.      What is the writer’s argument on a sufficient number of dust bins? 
a.       They can prevent litters 
b.      They can save janitor’s energy 
c.       Students are asked to clean them 
d.      They make school environment neat

The text is for questions 1 to 4.

Integrated Pest Management
There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly used may cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen and applied carefully so that they don't affect the ecological balance and environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in agriculture and livestock.
23.    Which of the following is not directly affected by pesticides used?
A. Plants
B. Ecology
C. Animals.
D. Environment.
E. Human Beings

A. The fourth paragraph supports the idea stated in paragraph two.

School Uniform, Another Good Lesson
School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. The uniform of a school may differ from others. Why should schools use uniforms? Below are some reasons.
 First of all, Notre Dame’s Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998 concerning school uniforms. Their findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms have no direct effect on “substance abuse, behavioral problems or attendance.” It also claimed a negative effect on student achievements for those students considered ‘pro-school’. 
Secondly, uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of belonging to a particular community. As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic standards, which is why a uniform is often adopted by schools which are being reopened with a fresh start after being classified as failing.
Finally, uniform acts as a social leveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes of the school and of each other. In institutions without uniform students are often competitive and worry endlessly about their appearance and the clothes they should wear. Pupils without expensive designer clothes and trainers may be singled out as social outcasts, or stigmatized as being from poor backgrounds. For these reasons many parents prefer uniforms as they save them money on buying clothes for school wear. Considering the findings, schools should implement the uniform as their identity. The government should also publish some kind of rule which makes uniform compulsory for schools.
