Genre (English Text Types)
1. RECOUNT
A recount is a piece of writing that tells events in a chronological sequence. A recount text is like a narrative text in that you have to write a story is real. The story maybe an event or a situation that took place on a particular day, and you are the narrator of the whole event. The order of the events is very important. (Teks yang melaporkan peristiwa, kejadian, atau kegiatan di waktu lampau sesuai dengan urutan waktu/ kronologis atau teks yang menceritakan ulang tentang sebuah kejadian yang pernah dialami oleh seseorang sehingga disebut juga cerita tentang pengalaman pribadi. Perbedaan jenis genre ini dengan narrative yaitu bahwa narrative lebih menekankan pada konflik dan penyelesaiannya, sedangkan genre berbentuk recount lebih menekankan pada cerita ulang sebuah kejadian yang pernah kita alami tanpa mementingkan konflik cerita dan penyelesaiannya. Misalnya cerita tentang kegiatan yang kita lakukan di masa liburan (pergi liburan ke rumah nenek) lalu kita ceritakan ulang kejadian tersebut di depan kelas, maka jenis cerita tersebut lebih cenderung ke recount)
Communicative purpose
To record or provide factual information or to give someone an account of an event happened in the past. (Melaporkan peristiwa, kejadian atau kegiatan)
Examples of recount texts
Article, police report, newspaper reports, historical accounts (laporan bersejarah), letters, journals, incident reports, biography, autobiography.
The organization of recount text
A recount text consists of 3 main parts: orientation, events and re-orientation.
Orientation (Pendahuluan, yaitu memberikan informasi tentang pengenalan tokoh, waktu, dan tempat)
This part presents the background information on the who, when, and where of the event
Events/sequence of events (Rentetan/rangkaian peristiwa yang terjadi yang disampaikan secara berurutan)
The events are presented in chronological order.
Re-orientation/conclusion (Penutup, ungkapan-ungkapan yang menunjukkan peristiwa atau kegiatan sudah selesai)
The event stars to end, and the writer may provide an opinion of what has happened.
Komentar pribadi akan peristiwa yang diutarakan/ ungkapan penilaian (jika ada).
Grammatical features related to recount texts

Read the following text carefully!
I, Milton Friedman was born on July 31, 1921, in Brooklyn, N.Y., the fourth and last child and first son of Sarah Ethel (Landau) and Jeno Saul Friedman. My parents were born in Carpatho-Ruthenia of the Soviet Union. They emigrated to the U.S. in their teens, meeting in New York. When I was a year old, my parents moved to Rahway, N.J., a small town about 20 miles from New York City.
I was awarded a competitive scholarship to Rutgers University. I graduated from Rutgers in 1932. I financed the rest of my college expenses by the usual mixture of waiting at tables, clerking in a retail store, occasional entrepreneurial ventures, and summer earnings. Shortly, however, I became interested in economics.
In economics, I had the good fortune to be exposed to two remarkable men: Arthur F. Burns and Homer Jones. Arthur Burns shaped my understanding of economic research, introduced me to the highest scientific standards, and became a guiding influence on my subsequent career. Homer Jones introduced me to rigorous economic theory, made economics exciting and relevant, and encouraged me to go on to graduate work. On his recommendation, the Chicago Economics Department offered me a tuition scholarship. As it happened, I was also offered a scholarship by Brown University in Applied Mathematics, but, by that time, I had definitely transferred my primary allegiance to economics. In 1976 I won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for my achievements in the fields of consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy. In 1977, at age 65,1 retired from the University of Chicago after teaching there for 30 years.

A tornado is a powerful, twisting wind storm. It is one of the most destructive storms on earth. A tornado is also called a waterspout.
A tornado is a long cloud which comes down from the sky. It is shaped like a funnel and consists of wind which whirls around and around extremely fast. In fact, the wind can reach a speed of more than 900 km per hour.
Most tornados form a long a front (boundary) between cool, dry air, and warm, humid air. Weather scientists are unable to know exactly when tornados will occur. Fortunately, the tornado is not usually very big and it does not long.

A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It usually causes great suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured or died. Some people are homeless and need medical care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour onto the surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a brief can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding land is flat and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood adjacent lowland.
In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away by water pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the pumps were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from to hand to be poured on the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks and neighborhoods before being controlled.

Read the following text carefully!
Antibiotic is a drug produced by certain microbes. Antibiotics destroy other microbes that damage human tissues. They are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, including gonorrhea, tonsillitis and tuberculosis. Antibiotics are sometimes called ‘wonder drugs’ because they can cure diseases such as meningitis, pneumonia and scarlet fever. But when the antibiotics are overused, or misused, these drugs make a person sensitive being attacked by a superbug.
Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous microbes. If a drug destroys too many harmless micro-organism, the pathogenic ones -the dangerous microbes- will have a greater chance to multiply. This situation often leads to the development of a new infection called superinfection. Extensive use of some antibiotics may damage organs and tissues. For example, streptomycin, which is used to treat tuberculosis, has caused kidney damage and deafness.
Resistance to antibiotics may be acquired by pathogenic microbes. The resistant microbes transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes and cause them to become resistant. During antibiotic treatment, non-resistant microbes are destroyed, but resistant types survive and multiply.
To avoid the side effect of antibiotics, you'd better not urge your doctor to prescribe antibiotics. Keep in mind that antibiotics are only useful for bacterial infections and have no effect on viruses, so they cannot be used for children pox, measles, and other viral diseases.
7. Which diseases cannot be cured by antibiotics?
A. Tonsillitis
B. Meningitis
C. Chicken pox
D. Tuberculosis
E. Scarlet fever
8. What are discussed in paragraph two and four?
A. Both paragraphs describe how antibiotics work.

C. Both paragraphs explain how antibiotics damage organs and tissue.
D. Paragraph two tells what causes the pathogenic microbes multiply and paragraph four tells how un-resistant microbes become resistant.
E. Paragraph two tells how antibiotics destroy harmless microbes and paragraph four describes how the pathogenic microbes transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes.
9. Choose one from the following which is not the effect of using antibiotics improperly?
A. Organs and tissues are damaged.
B. The pathogenic microbes multiply.
C. Harmless micro-organism are destroyed.
D. Pathogenic microbes become non-resistant.
E. New infection which is called superinfection develops.

The Houses of the Toraja
The ethnic groups in the mountain regions of southwest and central Sulawesi (Celebes) are known by the name of Toraja, which has come to mean "those who live upstream" or "those who live in the mountains". Their name is in fact derived from the word Raja, which in Sanskrit means "king". The society is hierarchically structured: the noblemen are called rengnge, the ordinary people to makaka, and the slaves to kaunan; birth determines which rank a person will occupy.
The distinctive features of the traditional houses (tongkonan) of the Toraja are the "buffalo horns", the roof design and the rich decoration on the walls. The buffalo is a symbol of status, courage, strength and fighting spirit.
Designed as a representation on the universe, the tongkonan is constructed in three parts: the upper world (the roof), the world of humans (the middle of the building), and the underworld (the space under the floor). The highly distinctive roofs constructed by the Toraja given rise to various ingenious interpretations. Certainly the roof is something of deep significance for the Toraja, and even today they build "modern" (in other words houses built with cement) houses with such roofs.

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon, without making physical contact with the object. In modern usage, the term generally refers to the use of aerial sensor technology to detect and classify objects on Earth (both on the surface, and in the atmosphere and ocean) by means of propagated signals (e.g. electromagnetic radiation emitted from aircraft or satellites).
There are two main types or remote sensing: passive remote sensing and active remote sensing. Passive sensors detect natural radiation that is emitted or reflected by the objects or surrounding area being observed. Reflected sunlight is the most common source of radiation measured by passive censors. Examples of passive remote sensors include film photography, infra-red, charge-coupled devices, and radiometers. Active collection, on the other hand, emits energy in order to scan objects and areas whereupon a sensor then detects and measures the radiation that is reflected or backscattered from the target. RADAR and LIDAR are examples of active remote sensing where the time delay between emission and return is measured, stabilizing the location, height, speed and direction of an object.
15. From the text we know that remote sensing…
A. Is a way to obtain information about an object or phenomenon
B. Does not difficult to do
C. Makes physical contact with the object
D. Does not make use of censors
E. Does not make use propagated signals
16. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. Active sensing is better than passive sensing
B. The energy in sunlight is important for remote sensing
C. Passive sensing is not as strong as active sensing
D. The source of energy radiated for sensing determines whether it is the active or passive type
E. Active remote sensing and passive remote sensing are equally useful for the development of knowledge and technology
17. Based on the text we can say that…
A. Remote sensing is expensive technology
B. Remote sensing is useful for transportation
C. We can apply the technology to study animals
D. Medical science can be improved through remote sensing
E. Remote sensing make it possible to collect information of an object in a dangerous area

Kapoposang is one of the largest of the Spermonde Islands, around 70 km northwest of Makassar, South Sulawesi. Kapoposang covers an area of around 50,000 hectares and is inhabited by around 100 families. Several other islands, both inhabited and uninhabited, lie near Kapoposang. The larger ones include Papandangan, Kondongbali, Suranti and Tambakulu.
Kapoposang and the nearby islands were declared a Nature Tourism Park by the Department of Forestry in 1999. Diving has been an important activity at Kapoposang since the mid 1990s. There were so few local divers at the time, and because of the distance from other well-known diving areas in Indonesia, Kapoposang has basically remained a secret.
The best time to visit Kapoposang is between April and November, when the seas are calm, the weather favorable, and the wind less fierce than in the other months. The trip takes two hours by speedboat; the ocean breezes help to cool your skin in the hot morning sun. As you approach Pulau Kapoposang, you see the deep blue water, which suddenly meets an expanse of coral reefs between extensive shallows with white sands in the seabed. Sea grass also grows lushly near the shore. The sea bed at Kapoposang has a unique composition; near the island are some quite shallow contours, and then suddenly steep underwater cliffs leading to seemingly endless depths. The water is very clear; you can expect underwater visibility of over 15 meters – ideal conditions for divers.
18. The text is about ....
A. Kapoposang and the surrounding islands
B. Kapoposang as a diving spot.
C. Kapoposang as a very popular tourist spot
D. Kapoposang as a secret area

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.
7. What is the writer’s intention? To ….. readers to do something good.
A. Inform
B. Explain
C. Describe
D. Entertain

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
E. Students can throw garbage away easily
10. What is the writer’s suggestion?

Should Ads be Banned from TV programs?
Thesis > I am writing to complain about ads on TV. There are so many ads, especially during my favorite programs. I think they should be stopped for a number of reasons.
Arguments > First, ads are a nuisance. They go on for a long time and there are so many. Sometimes there seems to be more ads than programs. Second, ads are a bad influence on people. They try to encourage people to buy unhealthy food like beers, soft drinks, candies, and chips. In other words, they make people want things they do not really need and cannot afford. Finally, ads play role in what programs people watch. That is because there are lots of ads in popular programs that a lot of people watch. Some programs which are not so popular get stopped because they do not attract enough ads, even though those programs may be someone’s favorite.
Recommendation > For those reasons, I think TV stations should stop showing ads. They interrupt programs. They are a bad influence on people and they sometimes put a stop to people’s favorite shows. I am sick of ads and now I mostly watch movie in cinema.

Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for skateboarders to skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active, energetic and adventurous pastime.
Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of skaters speeding up and down the footpaths. Toddlers can be trampled on and old ladies can be knocked down as they struggle home carrying their cat food from supermarkets.
Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young people’s health. It increases fitness, improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and ankles. Although it appears to be a solo sport, when groups practice together and compete to perform stunts or runs they form firm friendships.
Young people should be prevented from becoming overweight couch potatoes. If they are actively involved in skating, they do not smoke, take drugs or break laws for fun.
Kids will always seek thrills and excitement. They need to practice their 180s, 360s and Ollie’s free from restrictions. We must build skate parks in the suburbs so that streets are safe for small children and senior citizens and skaters have spaces where they can race, chase, speed, and soar towards the sun.

There are many arguments in favor of a boarding school education. Nevertheless, the boarding school is not always the best education institution for everyone.
At an early age interacting and communicating with people is very important for a child’s personal life and can be especially helpful for his/her future. In a boarding school, shy children can take advantage of interaction through communal activities. The boarding school also offers a great variety of activities such as arts, sports, and music that allow children to demonstrate and develop specialized skills in their free time.
Furthermore, the structured way of life and strict rules at the boarding school may help students to get used to a well ordered way of life. The manners and social skills will help them to become more responsible and confident, and to develop their talents in leadership. Professionally trained teachers and educators in the boarding school can offer excellent education without the parents’ constant supervision.
In spite of these good points, it is not advisable to send a child to a boarding school if he/she is a dependent learner. A boarding school usually demands that students learn independently. In addition, the boarding school should not be seen as a measure to solve inappropriate behavior or unsatisfactory study performance. Instead of improving, problematic children may close off their relationship with their peers and teachers.
In conclusion although a boarding school may provide good education to many children, it is not recommended for those who are strongly attached to their families. They may become frustrated and socially isolated.
(Soal UN SMA/MA IPA 2011/2012)
11. According to the writer, children in a boarding school can develop specialized skills in…

A. It is good for shy children
B. It gives good education for adults
C. Interacting and communicating with people is very important
D. It does not allow children demonstrate excellence and develop their skills
E. It is safe and makes children become responsible and develop talents in leadership
13. From the text, we can conclude that…
A. The boarding school can be very expensive
B. There are good and bad boarding schools
C. The boarding school is the solution to our educational problems
D. It’s not necessary to send children to a boarding school because the students can live independently

Is school uniform necessary?
Within a few past weeks, there was a interesting topic discussed by many students in Indonesia that is government plans to abandon the use of school uniform. I think school uniform is a must. There are some reasons why the school uniform must be implemented at school.
Firstly, school uniform is an identity. As in the army, we can differentiate between army, navy, air force and police squad just from the uniform they wear. School uniform is too. We can identify whether she/he is a kindergarten boy, an elementary school girls, a band of junior high school boys or a group of senior high school girls from their uniform.
Secondly, school uniform gives us such a feeling of togetherness. The students who come from rich families are nit too different from the students who come from the poor ones. The uniform will erase the gab between the rich and the poor. So, the learning atmosphere will not be disturb by inferiority feeling from the have not students because they can’t wear an expensive outfits.
I think the government should cancel the plan due to the social condition of our nations which is in collapse. School uniform is still badly needed to unify the students at school.

Respiratory System, in anatomy and physiology, are organs that deliver oxygen to the circulatory system for transport to all body cells. The respiratory and circulatory systems work together to deliver oxygen to cells and remove carbon dioxide in a two-phase process called respiration.
The first phase of respiration begins with breathing in, or inhalation. Inhalation brings air from outside the body into the lungs. Oxygen in the air moves from the lungs through blood vessels to the heart, which pumps the oxygen-rich blood to all parts of the body. Oxygen then moves from the bloodstream into cells, which completes the first phase of respiration. In the cells, oxygen is used in a separate energy-producing process called cellular respiration, which produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
The second phase of respiration begins with the movement of carbon dioxide from the cells to the bloodstream. The bloodstream carries carbon dioxide to the heart, which pumps the carbon dioxide-laden blood to the lungs.
In the lungs, breathing out or exhalation removes carbon dioxide from the body, thus completing the respiration cycle.

Sound Recordings and Reproduction
A general statement to position the reader > Sound recordings and reproduction are two separate processes used to record, store, and play back sounds. Sound recordings use microphones to pick up sound waves in the air. The pressure changes associated with the waves are converted into electrical signals, which can be coded and stored for future access. Sound reproduction, or playback, uses additional devices to retrieve the stored information and convert it back into electrical signals. The signals are then sent to a loudspeaker, which converts them back into sound.
A sequenced explanation of why or how something occurs > To record sound, a microphone changes the acoustic energy of sound waves in the air into electrical signals. Inside a microphone is a thin, flat, metallic surface, called a diaphragm, that is suspended in a magnetic field. When a sound wave reaches the microphone, the air pressure changes around the diaphragm, causing the diaphragm to move. This movement within a magnetic field creates an electrical signal. The signal is then transferred to a storage medium, such as a cassette tape, a compact disc (CD), or a phonograph record. To reproduce sound, a playing device-such as a CD player, cassette deck, or phonograph accesses the stored data. The playing device reads the data and converts the information back into electric energy.
The electrical signal is send to a loudspeaker, which has a diaphragm housed in a magnetic field in much the same way as a microphone’s diaphragm is housed.
The electrical signal creates a disturbance in the magnetic field. These resultant variations in the magnetic field cause the diaphragm to move. As the diaphragm moves, it pushes out and pulls in, creating changes ia air pressure to recreate the sound that was originally recorded.
Closing > Sound recordings and reproduction form the foundation of many industries, including entertainment, communications, and multimedia businesses. Recording and reproduction of sound allow people to play their favorite music, whether it was recorded yerterday or many years ago. Radio networks rely on sound recording and reproduction for storing news and other types of programming. Television and motion pictures combine images with music, speech, and sound effects to provide the viewer with enriched experience. Computer programs, multimedia software, and video games also use sound to make programs more engaging.

.............. How Desert Remains Dry
.............. These are three possible reason why desert remain dry. These are high mountain barrier, cold ocean current and high pressure system.
.............. Mountain Barrier
When warm air passes over the ocean it pick up moisture in the form of water vapor and this moist air travels over mountain ranges. When begins to rise, the air cool and this causes the water vapor to condense into droplets which falls as rain. When the air reaches the other side of the mountain barrier, it has lost all moisture and so the other side of the mountain remains dry.
................. Cold Ocean Current
Air passing over old ocean current is cooled and therefore is unable to pick up and hold much moisture. When this cold air mass reaches the warm desert, any moisture in the air is evaporated and so does not fall as rain and so the desert remains dry.
.................. High Pressure System
In a high pressure system, the air is dry and moving downwards. As this system moves over the land, it draws in moisture from the land surface. Consequently, the moisture does not fall as rain and so the desert remains dry.

The sense of taste is one of a person's five senses. We taste with the help of taste-buds in the tongue.
There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other tastes are just mixtures of two or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand taste-buds (or cells). These are connected to the brain by special nerves which send the so-called 'tastes messages.
When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste-buds will pick up the taste. The nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware of the taste. All this happens in just a few seconds.
There are four kinds of taste-buds, each of which is sensitive to only a particular taste. These four groups are located in different parts of the tongue.
The taste-buds for salty and sweet tastes are found round the tip of the tongue and along its sides. Sour tastes can be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The taste-buds of the bitter taste are found at the innermost edge of the tongue. There are taste-buds at the centre of the tongue.
The senses of smell and sight can affect taste. The good smell of food increases its taste. Similarly, attractive colours can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food does not smell good or is dull-coloured, it will look tasty and may not taste good at all.
Very hot or cold sensations can make the taste-buds insensitive. Food that is too hot or too cold, when placed in the mouth, will have no tastes at all.

Why do Volcanoes Erupt?
A volcanic eruption occurs when hot, liquid rock from far beneath the earth’s surface bursts outward through an opening in the earth’s crust. A volcano that is eruption is said to be ‘active’. An ‘ extinct’ volcano is one which will not erupt again.
There are active volcanoes in many parts of the world, both on land and under the ocean. As gases in the liquid rock or ‘magma’ build up pressure, they force the magma upward through the vent of the volcano.
The magma bursts through an opening in the surface of the earth called a crater, together with ash, smoke, and steam. The magma is now called lava. The lava oozes down the outside of the volcano, where it cools and hardens in layers to from the volcano’s ‘cone’.

Rain always comes from clouds. But where do clouds come from? How does all the water get into the sky?
Think about your bathroom. There is hot water in your bath. Steam goes up from the hot water. The steam makes small clouds in the bathroom. These warm clouds meet the cold walls and windows, and then we see small drops of water on the walls and windows.
The word is like your bathroom. The water in the oceans is warm when the sun shines on it. Some of this water goes up into the sky and makes clouds. The wind carries the clouds for hundreds of kilometers. The clouds meet the cold air in the sky, then we’ll see drop of water. The drops of water are rain.

Facsimile, often called fax, is a way of transmitting texts and pictures over telephone lines. News services often use facsimile to send news, stories, and photographs to news¬paper and television stations. Banks, law firms, and other businesses use facsimile to send copies of documents to clients and other organizations.
A device called a facsimile machine is used for trans¬mitting and receiving images. Facsimile machines resemble small photocopiers. However, they are equipped with a telephone or are connected to one. To send a document, the user inserts it into the machine and dials the telephone number of the receiving fax machine. After the connection is made, an electronic scanner on the transmitting machine moves across the page and converts the image into a set of electric signals. These signals travel over the telephone line to the receiving fax machine. That machine converts the electric signals back into an image of the original document and then prints a copy.
Some business people use small desktop fax machines or portable models at home or when they travel. A personal computer can also be used to send and receive documents if it is equipped with a special electronic circuit board called a fax board.

Read the following text carefully!
All planes need air pressure under their wings to stay up in the air. As they move forward, the higher air pressure under¬neath their wings pushes them upward and gives them lift.
The smooth, streamlined shape of the plane allows the air to flow easily over its surface. This helps to reduce the drag caused by the air pushing against the plane and allows it to move rapidly through the air.
Planes move forward using engines. This movement is called thrust. Moving forward keeps a stream of moving air passing over the wings. If the engines fail, the plane will begin to descend very quickly.
The air above the wing moves faster, so it is at a lower pressure than the air under the wing.
The air under the wing moves more slowly and is slightly squashed, so it is at a higher pressure than the air above the wing.
23. What does the text describe?
A. How the wings of a plane work.
B. How the plane moves forward.

Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate for? In this article we’ll enter the amazing world for chocolate so you can understand exactly what you’re eating.
Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions, especially in place such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of small pine apple. Inside the fruit are the tree’s seeds, also known as cacao beans.
The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out the flavor. Different beans from different place have different qualities and flavor, so they are often sorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix. Next, the roasted beans are winnowed. Winnowing removes the meat nib of the cacao beans bean from its shell. Then, the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of fat, and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground nibs from liquid. It’s pure bitter chocolate.

Hacking: Pro and Contra?
Do you know what a hacker is? Well, a hacker is a person who enjoys (1) . . . . . the details of programmable systems on computers and they like to stretch the (2) . . . . . . of the systems. And you know what, the (3) . . . . they do in the computers are called ‘hacking’.
So, what’s the problem with ‘hacking and its hackers’? Well, the problem is whether ‘hacking and its hackers’ is legal or illegal? What I mean is that (4) . . . . in the world have many different views about hacking and the hackers. Some of them (5) . . . . . sides, but many object.
To get back to what I was saying previously, let us see the positive points of a hacker, shall we? Although in most places breaking into computer systems is considered illegal, I believe that hackers don’t do anything illegal because they only want to (6) . . . . . and try the systems. I (7) . . . . . to say that a hacker likes finding the strengths and the weaknesses of a computer system. They feel proud if they can (8) . . . . . the weaknesses. So I don’t really see the (9) . . . . . in this case. In addition, these hackers sometimes help the police catch the ‘white collar criminals’, such as bank robbers, money launderers, credit card (10) . . . . . . For example, in 2000, the U.S. hackers caught some Singaporean hackers who made ‘Virus Love’ to break up the programs of the U.S. National Security system.
Nevertheless, those who object to the good points of a hacker say that hacking is a crime. The reason is that some hackers use their (11) . . . . skills to break into banks and other vital institutions where they can get money, destroy information, and the worst thing is they can get secret information and sell it to another country. This is a treachery.
Take for example, in 1994, The U.S. government broke a (12) . . . . of computer hackers out of Majorca, Spain. These hackers were responsible for accessing and eliminating 190,000 telephone credit card numbers over computer bulletin boards in America and Europe. Seeing this fact, I don’t blame those who think negatively about hackers.
To put the whole thing in a nut shell, I personally think that hackers are not bad people with their brilliant skills. However, they could be bad because of money orientation to get the wealth. That’s just the point.

.......................... However, for every plus there is a minus. For one thing, you might have a job, but unless it is very well paid, you will not be able to afford many of the things that there are to do, because living in s city is often very expensive.
........................... It is particularly difficult to find good, cheap accommodation. What is more, public transport is sometimes crowded and dirty, particularly in the rush hour, and even the parks can become very crowded, especially on Sundays when it seems that every city dweller is looking for some open space and green grass. Last of all, despite all the crowds, it is still possible to feel very lonely in a city.
............................. In conclusion, I think that city life can be particularly appealing to young people, who like the excitement of the city and don’t mind the noise and pollution. However, many people, when they get older, and particularly when they have young children, often prefer the peace and fresh air of the countryside.

Read the following text carefully!
In this modern era, the use of credit cards has developed into such a certain degree that credit cards have become a life style as a means of payment. However, the advantages and disadvantages of having credit cards have long become an endless debate.
Credit cards have many advantages as a means of payment. The most practical benefit of this magical plastic card is that the cardholders don’t need to carry cash. The card is useful especially when suddenly you have to do some shopping and you don’t have enough money with you. With credit cards, you can pay for things in an emergency without having to wait for your end-of-month paycheck. Your credit cards enable you to get cash in advance from an authorized bank or from an ATM.
Yet, with all its benefits, having a credit card involves some risks. It is likely to happen that cardholders tend to spend more money than he or she should, or can afford to. Who isn’t lured by the “buy-now-pay-later” concept? Actually, when you use a credit card, you buy on credit, which means that you have to pay interest. And like all other bank loans, your debts will swiftly add up when you fail to make the regular monthly payments. Another risk of using credit cards is being overcharged.
Needless to say, credit cards give great conveniences on shoppers. On the other hand, using credit cards is a terrible trap to those who cannot control their spendthrift habits.
1. In paragraph 2, the author presents some evidence that credit cards have many advantages as a means of payment while in paragraph 4 the author . . .

A. The cardholders do not know how to spend money
B. The cardholders can loan cash from an ATM
C. We can spend money as much as we want
D. The cardholders don’t need to carry cash
E. The cardholders can buy all things on credit

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work
You have to consider a number of factors when deciding whether or not to get a job. The important thing is to arm yourself with as much information as possible, so you can figure out what choice makes the most sense for you.
If you are considering working part-time, schedule a meeting with your school counselor to discuss this move. Talk to your counselor about why you want to work and what type of position you’re seeking. Simply explaining your goals to someone else can help you make decisions and figure out your priorities.
Schoolwork, including homework and studying for tests, should always be your top priority. “The activities and courses students choose vary considerably, so it’s important for young people to keep their individual situations clearly in mind,” says Brad McGowan, director of the Career Centre at Newton North High School in Massachusetts. Further, McGowan cautions students who do decide to work: “If you are rushing through your assignment or not studying enough for tests because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job.” He adds, “Students should always let their employers know what their time limits are.” If you are being pressured to work more hours than you can handle, you need to find a new place to work. You also need to make sure that a job won’t prevent you from getting enough rest.

Should Performance enhancing drugs be accepted in sports?
The issue of using drugs to enhance athlete’s performance is controversial . those who agree to the use of drugs in enhancing performance say that most top players in all sports take drugs to train harder and feel no pain during play. The trainers, sports doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists and managers of the big names make sure banned substances are taken at the safest and most efficient levels. The main effect of banning such substances has returned performers and their coaches into liars and cheaters.
On the other hand, some still believe that performance enhancing drugs in sport should be banned. Performance enhancing drugs are not only prohibited because they violate the spirit of sport but because they can damage the health of athletes.
I think the idea of allowing them in sports could lead to a situation whereby sportsmen and women are used as human guinea pigs for a constant flow of new, unregulated substances.
8. What argument is given by those who disagree with the use of performance enhancing drugs?
A. Athletes health is badly affected.
B. Gunea pigs are awfully needed.
C. Athletes consume more drugs.
D. Athletes obey the rules.
E. Athletes perform better.
9. According to the proponents of proponents of performance enhancing drugs, the effect of banning them is that performers become…
A. Losers
B. Winners
C. Cheaters
D. Hooligans
E. Supporters
10. How does the writer feel about the performance enhancing drugs?
A. Neutral

Read the following text carefully!
Nuclear power is generated by using uranium, which is a metal mined in various parts of the world. The first large-scale nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall in Cumbria, England, in 1956.
Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power plant for engines. Nuclear power produces around 11% of the world’s energy needed, and produces huge amounts of energy. It causes no pollution as you’d get when burning fossil fuels.
The advantages of nuclear are as follows:
1. It costs about the same as coal, so it’s not expensive to make
2. It doesn’t produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it doesn’t contribute to the greenhouse effect.
3. It produces huge amounts of energy from small amount of uranium.
4. It produces small amounts of waste.
5. It is reliable
On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried for many years to allow the radioactivity to die away. Furthermore, although it is reliable, a lot of money has to be spent on safety because if it does go wrong, a nuclear accident can be a major disaster.
People are increasingly concerned about this. In the 1990’s nuclear power was the fastest growing source of power in many parts of the world. In 2005, it was the 2nd slowest-growing.
11. The text discusses …..
A. Nuclear in general
B. Nuclear biggest station

The government has just published a report which suggest that television is partly responsible for the serious increase in crime over the last ten years. The exposure of violence or pornography harmfully effects on children.
Many people who are alive today know what it is like to live in a world without television. Television as we know is only about forty years old. Yet it is so much a part of our lives that it seems as if it had always existed.
Some people think that the years before the invention of television were a better time. They claim that families talked more and did more things together. More books were read. People used their imaginations more fully. People got more outdoor exercises.
But others disagree. They claim that television is a powerful educational tool. It informs us of what is going on in the world, from a famine in Africa to a local politics and fashion. It helps us understand how people live, work, and struggle.
In 1961, Newton Minow, a government official, called prime-time schedules “ a vast wasteland.” Television is credited with being a great teacher, but it is also blamed for the poor reading and writing skills of our population. Television gets praised for helping us understand the people of the world. But it has been accused of helping to destroy family life. Television keeps us informed about the political issues of the day.

Read the following text carefully!
Death penalty for serious criminals has been discussed by our experts. Those who agree say that death penalty will scare the criminals off. However, those who disagree say that it is inhuman, not effective and we cannot correct the wrong sentence after the criminal die.
In Switzerland, this penalty does not exist. Most people argue that the possibly of making the wrong decision is always there although it is true that spending life behind the bars is not easy either. Also, every person should have a chance for rehabilitation. In this way he or she can start all over again in another life style.
Those who agree argue that there is no use to feed the terrorists in prison with their money. When they get out, they will create a lot of trouble by blackmailing and killing people. So, who says that jails will stop them from being bad guys ?

There are several positive and negative impacts of internet on education. One of the positive impacts of internet to education is when you are curious about something. You can find out any information to feed your “ learning hunger” immediately from internet. If you are curious about the ants in your backyard or if you want to know more about dinosaurs or any other prehistoric animals, there is abundant of information at your fingertips and you can improve your knowledge.

_____________ Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix
I absolutely love the Harry Potter series, and all of the books will always hold a special place in my heart.
I have to stay that of all the books, however, this was not my favourite.
When the series began it was as much of a “feel good” experience as a huge mug of hot cocoa. The stories were bright, fast-paced, intriguing, and ultimately satisfying.
Order of the Phoenix is a different kind of book. In some instances this works . . . you feel a whole new level of intensity and excitement by the time you get to the end. I was truly moved by the last page. Other times the book just has a slightly dreary, depressing feel. The galloping face of the other books has slowed to a trot here, and parts of it do seem long, as if we were reading all about Harry “just hanging out” instead of having his usual adventures. Reading in detail about Harry cleaning up an old house, for example – housekeeping is still housekeeping, magical or no, and I’m not very interested in doing it or reading about other people doing it.
A few other changes in this book – the “real” world comes much more into play rather than the fantasy universe of the previous books, and Harry has apparently been taken off his meds. I know that he had a lot to be grumpy in this book, especially with being a teenager and tall, but the sudden change in his character seemed too drastic. He goes from being warm-hearted, considerate person to someone who will bite his best friend’s heads off over nothing. It just seemed like it didn’t fit with his character, like he turned into a walking cliché of the “angry teen” overnight.
The real story seemed to happen in the last 1/3 of the book and this part I loved. I actually liked the ending ( andyes, I cried!0 as sad as it was. It packed a punch and it made me care about the story even more. Still a really good book, with some editing it would have been great.

Breaking and Entering is an unusual film. Will and Sandy are two architects working on a major urban renewal project in the King's Cross section in London. The area is unsafe and ready for such a project. Will and Sandy move their offices into a nearby vacant warehouse.

Laskar Pelangi’: The Audacity of Hope
This is a movie adapted from a best-selling Indonesian novel. It took 40 days of filming on Belitung Island, Bangka-Belitung province. Involving 12 local actors, it reportedly cost Rp 8 billion. With all the efforts of transforming Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Warrior) into a moving picture, will it satisfy readers’ imaginations?
Laskar Pelangi, the novel, was written by Andrea Hirata in 2005, based on his own experiences. It is about an inspiring teacher and her 10 students in the poverty-stricken Kampung Gantong in Belitung. The poor condition of their school building does not dampen their high spirits and hopes for a better future.
Two years later, the novel became a phenomenon in Indonesian literature. With its humanistic touch, Laskar Pelangi has sold more than 500,000 copies and has won the position of Must-Read Novel in every corner of the nation’s bookshops and media review pages. It has finally overcome the domination of teen-lit, chick-lit and even religious novels, the popular theme of today.
Andrea entrusted the filming of the story to the respected figures in the film industry, Mira Lesmana and Riza, as producer and film director. In July 2007, Mira and Riri started the pre-production, which took a year to finish. Together with the scriptwriter Salman Aristo they decided to create a different scenario for the film.

Read the following text carefully!
“Bisa Saja” is chosen as the first single of the album and theme song of BROWNIES, since the lyric reflects the story in the movie. Bujana of GIGI demonstrates his skills in playing acoustic guitar in “Cinta Terakhir”. Three other brand new songs “Dilema”, “Jangan Bilang Pacarku” and “Semua Orang Berhak Mendapat Rasa bahagia”, give supporting nuances to the movie flow as Gigi composed them by imaging how scenes would like based on the screenplay.
When Hanung Bramantyo, the director, and Dewa Budjana of GIGI chatted, Budjana expressed his interest in making a soundtrack album. Then, he recommended a few of GIGI songs, which the producer accepted because of the chemistry they created with the movie. Since GIGI can provide a variety of colours to add all kinds of musical nuances to enrich the movie, the producer deemed it necessary to find other musicians to complete Ost of Brownies.
Armand Maulana (Vocalist), I Gede Dewa Budjana (guitarist), Thomas Ramdhan (Bass player) and Gusti Erhandy (drum-stand-in player for Budhi haryono) put a lot of effort into his album. As a result, they’ve created perfect band of movie and songs that makes BROWNIES tastier.

Harry Potter, the Prisoner of the Azkaban
For most children, summer vacation is something to look forward to. But not for the 13 years old boy, Harry Potter. He was forced to spend his summers with his Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and Dudley Dursley who detested him. The Ill treatment and the unpleasant insulting words forced Harry “accidentally” to cast spells in the non-magic world. It caused Aunt Marge (sister of Aunt Petunia) to inflate like a monstrous balloon. This actually violated against the rules of wizards which strictly forbade students to cast spells in the world of“Muggles” (non-magic-world). Realizing for what he had done, Harry ran away from Dursley’s home into the darkness of the night with his heavy trunk and his owl Hedwig.
Suddenly Harry was picked up by a triple-decker, violently purple-bus to spend the rest weeks of his summer in a friendly inn called the Leaky Cauldron. In the Leaky Cauldron, Harry read a poster announcing that Sirius Black – an enigmatic convict from the witch-craft and wizardly prison of Azkaban was on the loose.
Sirius Black had escaped from Azkaban prison and was searching for Harry. Black was believed to be responsible for leading lord Voldermort to Harry’s parents and ultimately to their murder.
Harry Potter felt that his life was in danger. He returned to Hogwart and the three pals were back for the third term at Hogwadt. The school was buzzing with the news of the escaping prisoner of Azkaban. The ominous Azkaban guards-the Dementors- were posted at the school to protect the students from Black, but they seemed more interested in probing Harry’s mind than searching for the prisoner.
A confrontation between Harry and Black was inevitably, but when they finally did, the young wizard was shocked by the revelations about his parents that caused him to question exactly who his friends really were. He never realized that Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban to protect him from Lord Voldermort’s evil plan and that Ron, one of his best friend betrayed him. He was actually a servant of Lord Valdermort. Unfortunately, he ran away after hid secret was revealed.
I like this film because it kept me wanting to watch next actions, and next actions and so on. The film is definitely a worth seeing film! I recommended this film all ages.

Elliptical Construction
Elliptical atau Elipsis adalah penghilangan kata atau sejumlah kata dari suatu kalimat yang bertujuan agar kalimat menjadi lebih pendek dan lebih baik susunannya. Susunan Elipsis sering digunakan banyak orang, baik dalam percakapan maupun dalam bentuk tulisan. Semua ini ditujukan untuk menyingkat kalimat dan memperindah susunan kalimat namun tidak berubah makna dan arti sama sekali. Bayangkan kalau kita membaca sebuah buku dan buku itu berisi kalimat-kalimat yang tidak perlu. Tentu kita akan bosan membacanya. Oleh karena itu, maka Susunan Elipsis ini penting untuk dipelajari.
1.POSITIVE ELLIPTIC
Apabila dalam sebuah kalimat positif kita mendapati predikat yang sama, maka kita sebaiknya menggunakan kata "too" atau "so" yang artinya "juga":
Perhatikan cara menggabungkan beberapa kalimat di bawah ini agar menjadi lebih singkat dan tersusun rapi, namun tidak merubah arti sama sekali.

(= He is busy and I am too)

(= Alex buys a new car and so does Henry)
5. Jack went to Bali yesterday. William went to Bali yesterday.
(= Jack went to Bali yesterday and William did too)
(= Jack went to Bali yesterday and so did William)
2. NEGATIVE ELLIPTIC
Apabila dalam sebuah kalimat negatif kita mendapati predikat yang sama, maka kita sebaiknya menggunakan kata "either" atau "neither" yang artinya "juga tidak":
1. Ed doesn't like mango. George doesn't like mango.
(= Ed doesn't like mango and George doesn't either)
(= Ed doesn't like mango and neither does George )
2. My father won't come there. I won't come there.
(= My father won't come there and I won't either)
(= My father won't come there and neither will I)

3. CONTRARY ELLIPTIC

QUESTION TAG
Question Tag adalah pertanyaan pendek yang ada di akhir kalimat. Dalam bahasa Indonesia, mungkin kita sering mendengar orang berkata, kamu terlambat, kan?. Nah kata "kan?" di sini disebut dengan question tag dalam bahasa Inggris.
Pada topic ini kita akan membahas tentang:
Positive Statement
Negative Statement
Imperative Statement
1. Positive Statement
Rumus: (+) statement, (-) tag?
A. Menggunakan Kata Bantu (Auxiliary)
Examples:
You are the new secretary, aren't you?
George can swim well, can't he?
I am going to go to the cinema with you, aren't I?
Susie has phoned you, hasn't she?
Catatan penting:
Jika kita dapat melihat adanya kata Bantu (is, am, are, was, were, do, does, did, has, have, had, will, would, can, could, shall, should, may, might, atau must), maka gunakan saja kata Bantu tersebut sebagai tagnya.
Tag negative harus dibentuk dengan singkatan. Pengguaan not yang terpisah dari kata bantunya tidak umum dalam Question tag.
Jika subjek kalimatnya I, dan kata bantunya am, maka tagnya adalah aren't I? bukan "amn't I" sebab penyingkatan ini tidak standard dalam bahasa Inggris.
Berhati-hatilah dengan penyingkatan kata Bantu. Perhatikan contoh kalimat-kalimat berikut ini:
• She's afraid to stay alone, isn't she?
• She's called the police, hasn't she?
Pada kalimat pertama, she's = she is, sebab diikuti oleh kata sifat, sedangkan pada kalimat kedua she's = she has, sebab diikuti oleh kata kerja bentuk ke-3 (Present Perfect Tense)
B. Tanpa Kata Bantu (Auxiliary)
Examples:
They invited you to their party, didn't they?
She read the novel, didn't she?
She reads the novel, doesn't she?
Somebody knocked at the door, didn't they?
You think I will be fired, don't you?
I believe you will pass the exam, won't you?
Catatan penting:
Jika tidak ada auxiliary (kata Bantu) di dalam kalimat statement-nya, maka gunakan do, does, atau did, tergantung dari tenses-nya.
Berhati-hati dengan kata kerja Irregular Verbs, terutama yang memiliki bentuk yang sama seperti contoh kalimat no. 2 dan 3 di atas.
Somebody/someone, anybody/anyone, everybody/everyone, these/those dianggap menjadi "they" dalam tagnya.
Something, anything, everything, this/that dianggap menjadi "it" dalam tagnya.
Jika statement-nya terdiri dari induk dan anak kalimat, maka tag-nya diambil dari induk kalimatnya (contoh kalimat ke-5), kecuali jika induk kalimatnya dimulai dengan I, maka tag-nya diambil dari anak kalimatnya (contoh kalimat ke-6). Hal ini sangat masuk akal kita, kan tidak lucu kalau kita bertanya pada diri kita sendiri. (Saya percaya kamu akan lulus ujian, ya kan? - tetapi ya kan-nya ditujukan pada diri sendiri)
2. Negative Statement
Negative statement jauh lebih mudah dibandingkan dengan positive statement karena kita sudah melihat adanya kata Bantu di dalam statement-nya. Kita tinggal memindahkan kata Bantu tersebut ke dalam tagnya.
Negative statement biasanya sering dipakai untuk meminta tolong atau meminta informasi tentang sesuatu/seseorang.
Rumus: (-) Statement, (+) tag
Examples:
There isn't any news, is there?
My parents won't go to Bali with you, will they?
Nobody wants to go with you, do they?
Everybody does not bring their homework, do they?
You never come to her dormitory, do you?
Catatan penting:
Nobody, nothing dianggap negative
Nobody dianggap menjadi they dalam tagnya dan nothing dianggap menjadi it dalam tagnya.
Hati-hati jangan sampai terlena dengan kata Bantu yang nampak dalam statement-nya. Perhatikan contoh kalimat no. 3 dan 4. Kata kerjanya seolah-olah adalah tunggal dan seharusnya menggunakan does, namun mengapa tag-nya menggunakan do? Sebab nobody dan everybody dianggap they dalam tag-nya.
Never, seldom, barely, little, few, dll dianggap negative (contoh kalimat no. 5)
Namun ingat, a few, dan a little dianggap positive.
3. Imperative Statement
Imperative statement biasanya digunakan untuk meminta dan menyuruh orang lain untuk mengerjakan sesuatu. Ada juga yang berfungsi untuk melarang dan mengajak orang lain.
Tag yang digunakan adalah:
Will you, won't you, would you, could you, can you, dll yang sejenis. Penggunaannya tergantung dari situasi kalimatnya dan tingkat kesopanan statement yang disampaikan. Misalnya kalau meminta orang lain untuk mengerjakan sesuatu, lebih baik gunakan would you atau sejenisnya, dan menyuruh seseorang dengan nada marah, maka can you akan lebih cocok digunakan daripada would you.
Sedangkan untuk let's, tag yang digunakan adalah shall we?
Contoh:
Sit down, would you?
Let's do it again, shall we?
Don't disturb me, can't you?
Catatan penting:
Penggunaan tag di atas sama penggunaanya dan dapat digantikan dengan please.
Contoh:
Sit down, please?
Let's do it again, please?
Don't disturb me, please?
4. Ellipsis Question Tag
Berhati-hatilah dengan penggunaan Question tag, khususnya jika kita tidak dapat melihat adanya subjek kalimat dalam statement-nya. Untuk itu, kita perlu memahami dan mencermati bahwa subjek kalimat statement-nya sebenarnya ada, namun hilang (ellipsis). Perhatikan contoh kalimat-kalimat berikut ini:
Nice day, isn't it?
Difficult, aren't they?
Talking about me, aren't you?
Fine, aren't you?
Preferences
Preference adalah suatu bentuk pernyataan yang menyatakan perasaan lebih suka dari yang lainnnya. Dalam Bahasa Indonesia, ungkapan ini tidak begitu sulit, dimana kita cukup mengucapkan "Lebih Suka dari", namun dalam Bahasa Inggris, ada beberapa bentuk yangdapat digunakan untuk menyatakan pernyataan di atas, diantaranya adalah:
1. Prefer
Rumus:
Prefer + to infinitive
Prefer + nouns + to + nouns
Prefer + V-ing + to + V-ing
Contoh:
They prefer to stay home (Dia lebih suka tinggal di rumah)
My mother prefers lemon to orange juice (Ibu saya lebih suka jus lemon daripada jus jeruk)
She prefers swimming to dancing
2. Would rather
Rumus:
Would rather + bare infinitives (kata kerja tanpa to)
Would rather + bare infinitives + than + bare infinitives
Would rather + bare infinitives + nouns + than + bare infinitives + nouns
Contoh:
I would rather study now (Saya lebih baik belajar sekarang)
She would rather stay home than go shopping (Dia lebih baik tinggal di rumah saja daripada berbelanja)
You'd rather speak English than French
3. Would prefer
Rumus:
Would prefer + to infinitives + rather than + bare infinitives
Would prefer + to infinitives + nouns + rather than + bare infinitives + nouns
Contoh:
They would prefer to sing rather than dance. (Mereka lebih baik bernyanyi saja daripada menari)
You'd prefer to play ball rather than take a sleep. (Kamu lebih baik bermain bola daripada tidur)
4. Like
Rumus:
Like + nouns / V-ing + better than + nouns / V-ing
Contoh:
I like singing a song better than playing a guitar (Saya lebih suka bernyanyi daripada bermain gitar)
I like coffee better than tea. (Saya lebih suka kopi daripada teh)
5. Had better
Rumus:
Had better + bare infinitives
Had better + not + bare infinitives (bentuk negative)
Contoh:
You had better study hard (Kamu lebih baik belajar yang giat)
You had better not work on Sundays (Kamu lebih baik tidak usah bekerja pada hari Minggu)
Relative pronouns/ Relative clauses/ Adjective clauses

Bentuk induk dan anak kalimat mempunyai aturan yang satu sama lain saling mempengaruhi dan membentuk pengertian tersendiri. Melihat bentuk tensesnya, conditional sentence dibedakan menjadi tiga type, yaitu:
Type I = Future conditional
Type II = Present conditional
Type III = Past conditional
1. Type I = Future Conditional
Future conditional adalah kalimat pengandaian yang menyatakan bahwa harapan pada main clause masih sangat mungkin dicapai apabila syarat pada subordinate clause dapat dipenuhi pada waktu yang akan datang.

2. Type II = Present Conditional
Present conditional adalah bentuk kalimat pengandaian yang menyatakan bahwa harapan pada main clause tidak mungkin lagi dicapai karena syarat pada subordinate clause tidak dapat dipenuhi pada saat ini.

Simile, metaphor
A simile is a figure of speech that says that one thing is like another different thing. We can use similes to make descriptions more emphatic or vivid. We often use the words as...as and like with similes. A simile compares two things using the word like or as (sama atau menyamakan seseorang atau sesuatu dengan yang lainnya)
Common patterns for similes are :
S + V/Be + AS + adjective + AS + something
It felt as hard as rock.
She looked as gentle as a lamb.
His skin was as cold as ice.
S + V/Be + LIKE + something
These cookies taste like garbage.
He had a temper (that was) like a volcano.
My love is like a red, red rose.
Her hair was like silk
He eats like a pig.
He smokes like a chimney.
They fought like cats and dogs.
My father grumbles like a bear in the mornings
Here are some more examples of well known similes:
[Be] AS adjective AS something meaning
as blind as a bat completely blind
as cold as ice very cold
as flat as a pancake completely flat
as gentle as a lamb very gentle
as light as a feather very light
as old as the hills very old
as sharp as a knife very sharp
as strong as a bull very strong
as white as snow pure white
as wise as an owl very wise
[Be] LIKE something possible meaning (depending on context)
like a rose beautiful
like a volcano explosive
like garbage disgusting
like an animal inhuman
like spaghetti entangled
like dewdrops sweet and pure
like golddust precious
like a tip very untidy (tip = garbage dump)
like a dream wonderful, incredible
[Verb] LIKE something Meaning
to drink like a fish to drink a lot
to eat like a bird to eat very little
to eat like a horse to eat a lot
to eat like a pig to eat impolitely
to fight like cats and dogs to fight fiercely
to sing like an angel to sing beautifully
to sleep like a log to sleep well and soundly
to smoke like a chimney to smoke heavily, all the time
to soar like an eagle to fly high and free
to work like a dog to work very hard
The above patterns of simile are the most common, but there are others made with adverbs or words such as than and as if, for example:
He ran as fast as the wind.
He is larger than life.
They ran as if for their lives.
Similes are often found (and they sometimes originate) in poetry and other literature. Here are a few examples:
A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle - Irina Dunn
Dawn breaks open like a wound that bleeds afresh - Wilfred Owen
Death has many times invited me: it was like the salt invisible in the waves - Pablo Neruda
Guiltless forever, like a tree - Robert Browning
Happy as pigs in mud - David Eddings
Popular songs, using of simile :
A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle - U2
Cheaper than a hot dog with no mustard - Beastie Boys
It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog - The Beatles
Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan
A metaphor also compares two things, but it does not use the word like or as (Kiasan atau mengkiaskan seseorang atau sesuatu dengan yang lainnya) Metaphor is different with simile pattern. Metaphor does not need “Like or As”. Metaphors help us to express our understanding of the world around us. They add colour, vivid imagery and perhaps emotion to a sentence.
Examples :
The sky was dark and angry.
His lightning reflexes saved his life.
His sunny face was just what I wanted to see.
The sky cannot be literally angry and no-one can have reflexes as fast as lightning; a sunny face helps us to think of the warmth of the sun and we transfer this to the character of this person. These words (metaphors) are used to express our understanding or our interpretation of the world around us as clearly as possible.
More Examples of Metaphor :
He's a tiger when he's angry
My father is a bear in the mornings.
Life is a journey, travel it well
Her eyes were filled with pain and I couldn't look at her.
Taking this job is a gamble but I hope it works out well in the end.
The ocean of his mind was awash with new ideas.
I don't want to go out with him. He's so wet!
Homonyms, homophones and homographs
Homonyms, homophones and homographs can bring confusion to even adults and teachers! Vocabulary Spelling City can help anyone master these word groups. For clarity, we've brought them all together on one page. It makes it easier to learn the difference among the three types of words using the definitions and homonyms, homophones and homographs examples below.
Homonyms Homophones Homographs
multiple meaning words Words that sound alike Same spelling,
different pronunciation,
different meanings
the spruce tree...
to spruce up... addition for math
edition of a book desert = abandon
desert = area of land
suit yourself...
wore a suit... I want to go
I like it too
One plus one is two bass = fish
bass = instrument
weigh on the scale...
scale the wall... capitol building
state capital close = nearby
close = to shut
the price is fair...
go to the fair... pick a flower
bake with flour bow = to bend down
bow = ribbon
Homonyms
Homonyms, or multiple meaning words, are words that share the same spelling and the same pronunciation but have different meanings. For example, bear.
A bear (the animal) can bear (tolerate) very cold temperatures.
The driver turned left (opposite of right) and left (departed from) the main road.
Homophones, also known as sound-alike words, are words that are pronounced identically although they have different spellings and meanings. These words are a very common source of confusion when writing. Common examples of sets of homophones include: to, too, and two; they're and their; bee and be; sun and son; which and witch; and plain and plane. Vocabulary Spelling City is a particularly useful tool for learning to correctly use and spell the sound alike words.
Homographs
Homographs are words that are spelled the same, but have different meanings and different pronunciations. Some examples of homographs are:
bass as in fish vs bass as in music,
bow as in arrow vs bow as in bending or taking a bow at the end of a performance,
close as in next to vs close as in shut the door,
desert as in dry climate vs desert as in leaving alone.

An Excursion to Bogor Botanic Garden
All right, everybody, I’ll tell you about this great place.
On Friday 16 March we went to Bogor Botanic Garden. We went there by bus and we arrived at that famous garden at 10 o’clock.
Arriving at the garden, we were divided into two groups. Group A followed Mrs. Nina and Group B followed Mr. Ahmad. I was in group A. Well, first we went to the odd tropical plants and Mrs. Nina read us some of the information. Then, we looked at all the lovely plants. After that, we went to a little spot near the Raffles cemetery and had morning tea. Next, we did some sketching and then we met group B at the information center to have our lunch.
Soon, it was time for us to go to the orchid section while Group B did some research on flowers. Uhm…A lady led us to the orchid section. Then, she explained about many kinds of orchid.
Next, we had a look at the Indonesian orchid. Wow, we saw many kinds of Indonesian orchids. They were all beautiful. Later, we took a look at the American, European and Asian orchid’s section. It was interesting. Soon after we had finished our observations, we went back outside and met group B. Then, we got on the bus and returned to school. We really enjoyed the trip to Bogor Botanic Garden.

The Legend of Minos, King of Crete
Once upon a time there lived a very famous king, named the King of Crete. He had a stepson which was half bull and half man. He ordered Daedalus, a craftsman from Athens, to build a labyrinth in order to house the monster. When Daedalus finished his work, he wanted to leave Crete. But the king would not let him go.
Daedalus finally escaped through the air by using wings fixed to his body with wax. He also made wings for his son, Icarus and made him fly behind himself. But the son was so glad and excited that he soon went too high. As he flew nearer to the sun, it got warmer and warmer until at last the wax melted and his body fell down into the sea near Troy. The sea is now called the Icarian Sea.
Descriptive Text, Hal. 31
Let me tell you a friend of mine that I really want him to be my boy friend. His name is Robert Kedindang. I think he is the most perfect boy I have ever known.
He has tall, straight and muscular body. His skin is fair. He is younger than his age. He is now 17 but like 14 year-old boy. Robert is so cool and cute.
Don’t you want to know his traits? He is very independent and can be reliable well. Then, ehmm...he is so tidy, friendly and so creative. He is so exclusive. If only he were a film star, I guess he suits to be a hero in every movie.
One thing I don’t like about him is that when he is angry, he just says no words.
Yap! The other thing I always remember is that he is so scared of roach. He always runs away when he sees a roach. He thinks roach is very disgusting.

Newsworthy Event
Seven people were killed in a collision between a bus, a car and a truck at 10:35 p.m. on Jalan Sultan last night.
Backgroud Event
The dead were all passengers in the car. Police believe the car may have been trying to overtake the bus when it was struck by a truck coming from the opposite direction. The driver of the car may not have been using his lights, as the truck driver said he did not see the car approaching.
Sources
The police said the car should not have been trying to pass the bus, since overtaking is not allowed on Jalan Sultan. In addition, the police reported that the car–a small Japanese car–should not have been carrying more than five people. The names of the victims are not yet known.

Report Text, Hal. 50
Whales are sea-livings mammals. They therefore breathe air but cannot survive on land. Some species are very large indeed and the blue whale, which can exceed 30 meters in length, is the largest animal to have lived on earth. Superficially, the whale looks rather like a fish, but there are important differences in its external structure; its tail consists of a pair of broad, flat horizontal paddles (the tail of a fish is vertical) and it has a single nostril on top of its large, broad head. The skin is smooth and shiny and beneath it lies a layer of fat (blubber). It can be up to 30 meters in thickness and serves heat and body fluids.

Cars should be banned
Thesis
Cars should be banned in the city. As we all know, cars create pollution, and cause a lot of road deaths and other accidents.
Argument 1
Firstly, cars, as we all know, contribution to the most of the pollution in the world. Cars emit a deadly gas that causes illness such as bronchritis, lung cancer, and ‘triggers’ off asthma. Some of these illnesses are so bad that people can die from them.
Argument 2
secondly, the city is very busy. Pedestrians wander everywhere and cars commonly hit pedestrians in the city, which causes them to die. Cars today are our roads biggest killers.
Argument 3
Thirdly, cars are very noisy. If you live in the city, you may find it hard to sleep at night, or concentrate on your homework, and especially talk to someone.
Reiteration
in conclusion, cars should be banned from the city for the reason listed.

Corruption
Thesis
Do you know what the meaning of corruption is? What is the relation between money and corruption? Well, corruption is common everywhere in the world, even in the United States. It’s just a matter of intensity. However, it is quite shocking when one reliable survey claims Jakarta as the most corrupt place in Indonesia.
Argument 1
The survey has made me sad, actually, because I stay and earn a living here in the capital. As most people know, Tanjung Priok port smuggling is not a new thing at all. Entrepreneurs who want to minimize their tax payments tend to do such a thing more often. They even bribe the officials.
Argument 2
Well, I think the measures taken so far to overcome the problem by punishing the corruptors is still not far enough. We have to prevent the younger generations from getting a bad mentality caused by corruption.
Recommendation
I believe we should start at the earliest stages in school and I think everyone should be involved in the effort to eradicate corruption. We must not make any distinction.

Making Paper from Woodchips
Do you have any paper in your bag? It may seem like a silly question but do you know how to make paper? What is paper made of ? Right. And how about ‘wood chipping’? Have you ever heard about it? Well, wood chipping is a process used to obtain pulp and paper products from forest trees.
First of all, the tops and branches of the trees are cut out and then the logs are taken to the mill. At the mill, the bark of the logs is removed and the logs are taken to a chipper which cuts them into small pieces called woodchips. The woodchips are then screened to remove dirt and other impurities. Hmm…, at this stage they are either exported in this form or changed into the pulp by chemicals and heat. Oh, I almost forgot, the pulp is then bleached and the water content is removed. Finally, the pulp is rolled out to make paper.
Considering the complexity of making paper, let’s appreciate any paper on our hands. Use it more effectively. Thank you for listening. Bye.

Hacking: Pro and Contra?
Do you know what a hacker is? Well, a hacker is a person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems on computers and they like to stretch the capability of the systems. And you know what, the activities they do in the computers are called ‘hacking’.
So, what’s the problem with ‘hacking and its hackers’? Well, the problem is whether ‘hacking and its hackers’ is legal or illegal? What I mean is that people in the world have many different views about hacking and the hackers. Some of them take sides, but many object.
To get back to what I was saying previously, let us see the positive points of a hacker, shall we? Although in most places breaking into computer systems is considered illegal, I believe that hackers don’t do anything illegal because they only want to know and try the systems. I dare to say that a hacker likes finding the strengths and the weaknesses of a computer system. They feel proud if they can find the weaknesses. So I don’t really see the crimes in this case. In addition, these hackers sometimes help the police catch the ‘white collar criminals’, such as bank robbers, money launderers, credit card forgers. For example, in 2000, the U.S. hackers caught some Singaporean hackers who made ‘Virus Love’ to break up the programs of the U.S. National Security system.
Nevertheless, those who object to the good points of a hacker say that hacking is a crime. The reason is that some hackers use their brilliant skills to break into banks and other vital institutions where they can get money, destroy information, and the worst thing is they can get secret information and sell it to another country. This is a treachery.
Take for example, in 1994, The U.S. government broke a conspiracy of computer hackers out of Majorca, Spain. These hackers were responsible for accessing and eliminating 190,000 telephone credit card numbers over computer bulletin boards in America and Europe. Seeing this fact, I don’t blame those who think negatively about hackers.
To put the whole thing in a nut shell, I personally think that hackers are not bad people with their brilliant skills. However, they could be bad because of money orientation to get the wealth. That’s just the point.
Regular and Irregular Verbs
Kata kerja atau verba akan mengalami perubahan bentuk sesuai dengan tenses dalam kalimat. Ada dua jenis perubahan bentuk kata kerja yaitu regular verbs (kata kerja teratur) dan irregular verbs (kata kerja tidak teratur). Perubahan kata kerja dalam suatu kalimat tergantung dari tenses yang digunakan.

Kata kerja teratur (regular verbs) adalah kata kerja yang bentuk kedua (past) dan ketiganya (past participle) ditambah dengan akhiran –ed. Atau jika kata kerja itu berakhiran dengan huruf e maka tinggal ditambah akhiran –d saja.
Sedangkan kata kerja tidak teratur (irregular verbs) adalah kata kerja yang bentuk kedua dan ketiganya berubah atau sama sekali tidak berubah. Kata kerja ini tidak memerlukan penambahan –ed atau –d pada akhir kata.
Bentuk irregular verbs dibagi menjadi tiga kelompok sebagai berikut.
(1) Kata kerja yang bentuk kedua dan ketiganya tidak berubah dari bentuk pertamanya, misalnya kata bet, bid, cut, dan hurt, bentuk keduanya dan ketiganya juga bet, bid, cut, dan hurt.
(2) Kata kerja yang bentuk kedua dan ketiganya sama tetapi berbeda dengan bentuk pertamanya, misalnya kata bleed, bentuk kedua dan ketiganya adalah bled, dan kata cling bentuk kedua dan ketiganya adalah clung.
(3) Kata kerja yang bentuk pertama, bentuk kedua, dan bentuk ketiganya tidak sama. Sebagai contoh misalnya take menjadi bentuk keduanya took dan bentuk ketiganya taken, arise bentuk keduanya arose dan bentuk ketiganya arisen, dan sebagainya.
Selain itu, terdapat juga kata kerja yang dapat dikelompokkan menjadi regular verbs sekaligus irregular verbs, misalnya kata kerja awake yang bentuk kedua dan ketiganya bisa awaked atau awoke, kata kerja leap yang bentuk kedua dan ketiganya bisa leaped atau leapt, dan sebagainya.
