Mari kita perhatikan dengan saksama rumusan di bawah ini.
Ubah Rutinitas + Lawan Kebosanan = Prestasi

Barangkali rumusan tersebut terlalu sederhana untuk menggambarkan kunci meraih kesuksesan belajar. Namun, kesederhanaan rumusan itu justru memudahkan kita untuk menerapkannya dalam berbagai konteks, tidak terkecuali dalam kegiatan belajar. Sudah menjadi keniscayaan bahwa belajar semestinya memberikan pengalaman bermakna bagi peserta didik. Oleh karena itu, strategi pembelajaran harus terus dikembangkan. Guru, sebagai pendidik, berpeluang untuk menyusun strategi pembelajaran yang lebih baik. Pembelajaran yang bermakna dapat diawali dengan penciptaan kondisi belajar yang nyaman. Jika peserta didik merasa nyaman ketika belajar, mereka akan termotivasi untuk belajar dengan baik. Salah satunya dengan menata ruang belajar sesuai aspirasi peserta didik. Belajar sebenarnya aktivitas yang menyenangkan. Belajar tidak sebatas menghafalkan materi yang tertulis dalam buku. Peserta didik perlu diajak mengenal lebih jauh suatu hal dengan bimbingan pendidik. Setapak demi setapak cakrawala peserta didik menjadi terang benderang oleh sinar ilmu pengetahuan. Proses belajar tadi merupakan pengalaman berharga yang membangun kepribadian mereka. Nah, menjadi tugas pendidik untuk membantu peserta didik memaknai setiap pengalaman belajarnya. Yakinkan mereka bahwa tidak ada yang sia-sia dari proses belajar yang mereka lalui. Jadi, mereka perlu menjalaninya dengan sungguh-sungguh. Aktivitas belajar kadang-kadang menjebak peserta didik dan pendidik dalam rutinitas. Ketika rutinitas terbentuk, rasa bosan akan segera menyerang. Tentu sudah terbayangkan akibat yang akan dialami, bukan? Inilah tantangan yang dihadapi pendidik. Sebagai pendidik, guru dituntut untuk dapat mengubah kegiatan pembelajaran yang membosankan menjadi suatu kegiatan yang menarik. Jika perlu, ubahlah aktivitas pembelajaran menjadi petualangan yang mengasyikkan. Dengan mengadakan inovasi pembelajaran, peserta didik akan terdorong untuk mengintegrasikan berbagai informasi yang diterima menjadi pengetahuan dan kemampuan (kompetensi). Mereka dapat mengekspresikan kemampuan, mengemukakan pendapat, atau mengajukan pertanyaan. Pengalaman belajar tadi dapat diperoleh jika peserta didik mampu mengaitkan berbagai fenomena kehidupan dengan aneka konsep yang diajarkan di ruang kelas. Guna mencapai pembelajaran seperti itu, suatu sarana belajar yang tepat sangat diperlukan. Sebagai sarana pembelajaran aktif, buku PG PR menawarkan skenario pembelajaran yang akan membangun pemahaman pengetahuan peserta didik baik melalui kegiatan belajar mandiri maupun bimbingan orang lain. Tentu saja kegiatan pembelajaran tersebut mengacu pada tuntutan ketercapaian kompetensi siswa. Walaupun peserta didik dimotivasi untuk merumuskan sendiri pengetahuannya, buku PG PR juga memberikan materi pokok yang harus dipelajari. Ini sebagai pijakan dasar mereka dalam mempelajari suatu materi. Inti materi disajikan secara ringkas dan lengkap sesuai tuntutan kurikulum. Dengan demikian, fokus belajar peserta didik tetap terjaga. Ketercapaian kompetensi peserta didik juga dapat diukur menggunakan buku PG PR melalui soal latihan yang bervariasi dalam setiap unitnya. Soal-soal dalam buku ini disusun dengan mengindahkan pola soal yang lazim digunakan dalam ulangan umum. Oleh karena itu, peserta didik dapat berlatih menyelesaikan soal-soal tersebut sehingga siap menghadapi ulangan nanti. Berbagai kegatan variasi dan Reading Materials dalam PG PR menjadi amunisi pendidik untuk melawan perangkap rutinitas pembelajaran yang bermuara pada kebosanan. Semua keunggulan tadi mengukuhkan posisi buku PG PR sebagai mitra pendidik dalam menciptakan pembelajaran yang aktif, atraktif, dan bermakna. Klaten, Desember 2009 Penyusun

Spoken Text
Read the following monolog. Have you heard the story of a tiger and a hare? Now, let me tell you the story. Once upon a time there lived a tiger named Blind Fury. He was the king of the forest. He ordered that each day an animal should be brought to him as his prey. Of course, it made the number of animals decrease. Therefore, the animals held a council to solve the problem. Can you guess what the result of the animals meeting is? Well, a hare named Tiny Trick said that he had an idea to get rid of Blind Furry. The idea was that Tiny Trick would come at twelve; although, the usual breakfast of Blind Fury was nine.
43
The next day, Tiny Trick arrived at Blind Furys cave at twelve. Blind Fury was angry at him. He asked why Tiny Trick came late. Did you know what Tiny Tricks answer was? He replied that there was another king like Blind Fury in the well that asked him to be his prey. Luckily, Tiny Trick could escape from him and met Blind Fury. Blind Fury was very anxious to see the king. That was why, he asked Tiny Trick to show him the king. Happily, Tiny Trick led Blind Fury to the well. Arriving at the well, Blind Fury found his own shadow in it. He thought it was another tiger who would be his rival. He leapt into the well and was drowned. The animals were happy and they praised Tiny Trick as their hero.

The text above is a narrative in spoken form or monolog. It is an example of fables (imaginative stories about animals), i.e. a tiger and a hare.
Written Text
Read the following text. The Tiger and the Hare A tiger named Blind Fury became the king of a forest. He made a law that every day an animal should appease his hunger by falling a prey to him. At this rate, in the course of a few months, a great number of animals had been eaten up; the beasts that remained held a council. A hare among them, named Tiny Trick, observed, I have a stratagem whereby I can get rid of Blind Fury if you would let me take my chance with him tomorrow. They agreed. The usual breakfast hour of Blind Fury was nine; but Tiny Trick trudged on, and came to him at twelve. Hullo, you impudent little wretch! What keeps you so long from our presence? said Blind Fury. May it please, Your Majesty, said Tiny Trick, in a well by the road I have traveled there is another king like your majesty. He said I should not go without appeasing his hunger. It was with difficulty I could obtain permission of him to see your majesty for a moment and return. Lead the way to the well, said Blind Fury. Yes, Your Majesty, said Tiny Trick. When Blind Fury came to the well, he found his own shadow reflected in it, and, fancying that it was another tiger, a rival, leapt into it and was drowned. The beasts of the forest praised Tiny Trick as the savior of the state. It happens that little folks did great things for the public good.

The Singer and the Dolphin Arion was one of the most famous singers in the ancient world. On one occasion he won an important festival in Sicily, and as his prize he received so many jewels and golden cups that he was obliged to hire a ship to carry them all home to Corinth. Unfortunately, this huge treasure made the sailors very jealous, and in order to have it for themselves, they attacked the singer and were about to throw him overboard. Arion did not put up a struggle; instead he asked only that he was allowed to sing one last song. His wish was granted and the sailors were so enchanted by his voice that they were hardly aware of what happened next. At the first notes of his song, a dolphin swam alongside, attracted by the beautiful music. Immediately, Arion jumped overboard onto the dolphins back and was carried back across the sea. When the ship finally reached port in Corinth, the wicked sailors began to tell everyone that there had been a storm, during which the famous singer had been lost at sea. They were struck dumb with amazement; however, when Arion arrived with a company of soldiers to arrest them. In memory of this event, a statue of a young man on the back of a dolphin was erected in the port of Corinth. This statue is still there today.

But after a short distance, he stopped again, bleary-eyed, his tongue hanging out. Please, please listen! If you dont help me, Ill never reach market alive. But without even a glance, the horse haughtily replied, Rubbish! Come on, youll manage this time too! But this time, after a few tottering steps, the donkey dropped dead to the ground. The donkeys master, who had lingered to pick mushrooms, ran up when he saw the animal fall. Id have done better to help the donkey when he was alive, said the horse to himself. A little more weight wouldnt have done me any harm. Now, Im frightened of collapsing myself under a double load! But feeling sorry too late did nothing to lighten his load. I cant go much further! moaned the donkey. Im much weaker today! I can hardly stand and unless I can get rid of some of this weight, I wont be able to go on. Couldnt you take some of my load? Once upon a time an old carter kept a horse and a donkey in the same stable. He was equally fond of both his animals, but as he used the horse to pull his trap, he gave it better food and more attention than he did to the donkey. However, the donkey, knowing he was not so precious as his stable mate, ate straw instead of corn and hay, without complaining. When the horse heard this, he looked the donkey up and down in disdain, for he considered himself much superior, and said, Our master gave you the heavy load because he knows that donkeys are beasts of burden. Their loads ought to be heavier than those of noble horses! Poor thing! he said. He served me well for so many years. His load must have been too heavy. Then, he turned to the horse, Come here! Youll have to carry your companions load too now! And he hoisted the donkeys sacks onto the horses back. Even when both animals carried sacks to market, the donkeys was the heavier load, for the carter did not want to overwork his noble horse; though, he had no such feelings about the donkey. As time went by, the horse grew more handsome and robust, while the donkey became thin and weak. One day, on their way to market, the donkey was carrying his usual heavy load, while the horse had only two lightweight sacks tied to the saddle.

The Peacock and the Tortoise On a cloudy day, a peacock was dancing on a lawn by the side of a lake. A tortoise, in the lake, addressed the peacock thus said, Sir Peacock, how I should like to be with you dancing there! Sir Tortoise, said the peacock, I do not think you would be safe if you were to leave the water, and to come to dance with me. Further, your short legs and heavy appearance would not enable you to cut a good figure at dancing. I see, said the tortoise, you are very proud of your fine feathers and gait; but you must remember, that my shell is also as beautifully colored; and that was my gait; though, not so quick and graceful, is yet slow and steady. The peacock replied, I am very sorry to have displeased you, Sir Tortoise; but, if you wish to come and dance with me, unmindful of the danger of leaving the water, you are welcome. The tortoise came out of the lake, and stood by the side of the peacock, in his own awkward manner; and the two were preparing to dance together. Just then a hunter, who was passing by the pond, observing the scene, approached the animals. The peacock flew up a tree, and safely perched on its top; but the tortoise, before he could reach the pond, was laid on his back and killed by the hunter. The peacock cried mournfully, Sir Tortoise, you now see how dangerous it is to get into difficulties from which we cannot easily escape.

The hen said that the woman would kill him if he didnt lay eggs. Then, one night, finding the hutch door, he escaped. Once again he was all alone. He fled as far away as he could, and at dawn, he found himself in a thick bed of reeds. There was plenty of food, and the duckling began to feel a little happier; though, he was lonely.

Winter came and the water in the reed bed froze. The poor duckling left home to seek food in the snow. He dropped exhausted to the ground, but a farmer found him and put him in his big jacket pocket. He would give the ugly duckling to his children. The duckling was showered with kindly care at the farmers house. In this way, the ugly duckling was able to survive in the bitterly cold winter. However, by springtime, he had grown so big that the farmer decided to let him free. When he saw himself mirrored in the water, he was very surprised. He had changed into a good swan. Finally, he could make friends and live together with other swans.

Contoh jawaban: The Thirsty Ant A thirsty ant was scurrying desperately around. It looked for something to drink, but it could find nothing. It thought that it would die. Suddenly, a drop of water fell from above and saved its life. In truth, it was a tear. It was filled with all the magical virtues which were born from suffering. After that, the ant discovered that it was suddenly able to understand and speak perfectly the language of men. One day the ant went into a grain store. There, it saw a little girl. The girl was sitting on the floor, crying. Why are you so sad? asked the ant. Ive been imprisoned by an ogre. He will only set me free when I have made three heaps of grain, barley and rye, out of this huge mountain of seed where they are all mixed together. That will take a month! exclaimed the ant. If I havent finished by tomorrow, the ogre will eat me for his supper, the girl cried. Please do not weep. Well help you. And the ant fetched all his companions and they set to work. The next morning the ogre found that the task was done. Thus it was that a tear saved a little girls life.

This text is for questions 4 and 5. A peasant left a jug of milk with a neighbor for safekeeping. When he reclaimed the jug, the milk had disappeared. Angry words led to a lawsuit, and the judge decreed that the neighbor should pay for the milk, even though the latter claimed that the flies had consumed it. You should have struck them dead, said the judge. What? replied the peasant, You grant me permission to kill flies? Yes indeed, responded the judge. You have my permission to kill them anywhere you find them. In that moment the peasant saw a fly on the judges cheek. He stepped up to him and gave him a slap, saying, I bet that cursed fly is one of those who drank up the milk! Because of the permission he had granted to the peasant, the judge could do nothing about the slap.

Now, Mantu had an elephant of his very own. His name was Opie. He was just a baby and Mantu loved him very much. Mantu whispered to Opies ear that someday he would become the biggest, strongest and bravest elephant in the jungle. The other elephants heard this. They began to laugh and made rude noises with their trunks. Were so big and tall, but youre so small. Youre nothing at all, said one of the big elephants. Mantu looked up at the huge elephant with a mischievous glint in his eye. Youre so tall and can see far away. We can see what is happening down here in the jungle. In fact, we would be the first to see any slithering snakes that may be a danger. After hearing the word snakes, the elephants screeched and off they went thundering in fright.

They lived in the jungle and were feared by all the animals, because they had large red combs on their heads. They also said that these combs were full of fire. All the animals there were very much afraid of fire, so the cock and the hen ruled the jungle. If ever one of the animals displeased them, they said, If you do not do what I want, I will burn you with my comb. Do you not see that it is red-hot? One day the old mother leopard came home and found that the fire in her kitchen had gone out. She said to her little cub, Run to the cocks house and ask him to give you a few glowing bits of charcoal to make our fire. The cub went obediently, but he found the cock and the hen both sound asleep. He was afraid to wake them. The mother leopard said, Take a little dry grass and creep up softly to the cock and light the grass from his comb. But the cub was afraid to go alone, so his mother went with him. They crept up to the sleeping cock and hen, and gently put the dry grass against their combs. However, it did not light, and the grass was not even scorched. The mother leopard put out her paw and touched them. The combs were quite cold; although, they looked red-hot. Then she knew that the cock and hen had been telling lies all these years. She roared with laughter and woke them up, and she said, Now I know that you didnt tell us the truth. Your combs are quite cold. There is no fire in them.

In a tiny village in Trinidad there lived an old woman who made the most delicious sweets. People would come from all around just to buy her candies at the villages market.
One day, while walking to market, the old lady stubbed her toe on a stone and dropped her gourd to the ground. The gourd split open and her coconut cakes spilled everywhere. Oh, look at this trouble here, she said. I cant believe what trouble Ive got. Now Ill have to go right back home! Monkey was sitting in a tree above the road and saw and heard everything. As the old woman left he began to grow curious about her trouble. He scurried down the tree and went to the trouble sprawled across the road. He tasted one of the coconut cakes and exclaimed, This trouble is most delicious! I shall go buy some more for myself! Monkey marched right into town and went to the nearest merchant. Id like to buy some trouble, he said. The merchant looked strangely at the little creature and asked, Do you know what trouble is? Yes, yes, Monkey said impatiently. Give me all you have and be quick about it. The shopkeeper shook his head with a little smile and soon brought out a large bag. Monkey paid for it and left. As he dragged the bag down the road, he began to grow tired. My my, but this trouble is heavy. And what strange sounds it makes. He eventually came to a clearing and decided to open the bag and enjoy his treat. Licking his lips, he loosened the top of the bag. Suddenly a fierce bear burst from the bag. Poor Monkey ran up the nearest tree and sat on a high branch, shaking with fear as the bear chased him. He grew hungrier and hungrier and eventually picked a strange fruit from above his head. He stuffed it in his mouth, not knowing that he was in a pepper tree. Oh! How that pepper burned his poor little mouth. And he could not go get water until the bear left the tree. Eventually the bear did leave and Monkey was able to run to a nearby pond to cool his burning tongue. And to this day Monkey stays high up in the treetops, far away from trouble.

If we go the same way, that fox will surely eat us. Oh, dont be such a worry wart, snapped the biggest duck. Once there were two ducks that always walked along the same road each day to go to the pond. As they went along, one of the ducks quacked to the other, Why dont we go on a different path today? There are lots of other roads that lead to the pond. The next day the ducks took another road to the pond because they were both still in shock over what the fox had done to them the day before. No, no, no. I have always gone this way and I am not about to change my ways, said the bigger duck. So they both had gone the same way that they always had, and there was the fox waiting for them with a sack in his paw. As soon as the ducks walked by, the fox pounced on them. The ducks ran screaming back to their house. As the ducks walked along they came upon a very sly fox. Hello, ladies. How are you doing? Oh, we are just on our way to the pond, the ducks continued to waddle quickly to the pond.

Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah karena tidak sesuai dengan konteks kalimat. Pengumuman tersebut berisi pemberitahuan bahwa ada seorang siswa yang sakit demam berdarah dan dirawat di rumah sakit. Hal itu diketahui dari kalimat One of our classmates, Tito, has got a dengue fever. He has been hospitalized for about two days.. Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah karena tidak sesuai dengan isi pengumuman. Teks tersebut merupakan brosur yang menawarkan usaha hunian (real estate). Hal itu disimpulkan dari kalimat ketiga paragraf satu It provides high quality, long-term solutions for occupiers in India. serta kalimat pertama paragraf dua Alpha has bespoken real estate operational solutions for leading international companies.. Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah karena hanya merupakan pendukung brosur. Dalam paragraf ketiga dinyatakan The company also invests in office, mixed use/residential, hotels and serviced apartments and has extensive experience developing, owning and operating business parks, shopping centers and other commercial properties..

Kalimat kedua paragraf satu adalah Surprisingly, he was wearing a hot thick raincoat that he could not take off.. Jadi, yang dikenakan Singa adalah sebuah jas hujan yang tebal (a thick raincoat). Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah karena tidak sesuai dengan isi teks. Saat Harimau bertanya mengapa Singa memakai jas hujan yang tebal tersebut, Singa menjawab, I really dont remember why I put it on. I guess I just thought it might all of a sudden rain.. Jadi, alasan Singa memakai jas hujan yang tebal adalah karena ia mengira bahwa hujan akan turun secara tibatiba. Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah. (A) artinya ia berpikir bahwa hari sangat panas, (B) artinya ia ingin menunjukkan jas hujan tersebut kepada temantemannya, dan (D) artinya ia sangat bangga mengenakan jas hujan tersebut. Paragraf lima berbunyi Do not worry at all my friend, Tiger explained, you simply cut off some of your sleeves and pants.. Kalimat-kalimat tersebut merupakan saran Harimau untuk memecahkan masalah yang dihadapi Singa, yaitu tidak dapat melepaskan jas hujan yang dikenakannya.

Kata darted artinya bergerak dengan tiba-tiba dan cepat (move suddenly and quickly).

yang lezat yang ia pikir bernama trouble. Hal itu diketahui dari kalimat kedua paragraf lima He tasted one of the coconut cakes and exclaimed, This trouble is most delicious! I shall go buy some more for myself!. Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah karena tidak sesuai dengan isi teks. Saat kera meminta trouble pada penjaga toko, penjaga toko memberikan sebuah kotak besar berisi beruang buas. Beruang tersebut mengejar sang kera saat kera membuka tutup kotak. Jadi, trouble yang benar-benar diperoleh kera adalah dikejar beruang yang buas. Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah. Pernyataan yang tidak sesuai dengan teks adalah (A) yang artinya wanita tersebut menjatuhkan labu manisnya dengan sengaja. Hal itu tidak sesuai dengan kalimat pertama paragraf dua One day, while walking to market, the old lady stubbed her toe on a stone and dropped her gourd to the ground.. Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah karena sesuai dengan teks; (B) sesuai dengan kalimat kedua paragraf lima, (C) sesuai dengan kalimat pertama paragraf sembilan, dan (D) sesuai dengan kalimat-kalimat pada paragraf tiga belas.

Text 1 The Parrot There was once a grocer who had a beautiful parrot with green feathers. It hung in a cage at his shop door. It was a very shrewd, sensible bird and very observing. But it was a female, and as such could not hold its tongue. It proclaimed aloud all that it knew, announcing to everyone who entered the shop the little circumstances which had fallen under its observation. One day the parrot observed its master sanding the sugar. Presently in came a woman and asked for some brown sugar. Sand in the sugar! Sand in the sugar! vociferated the bird, and the customer pocketed her money and rushed out of the shop. The indignant grocer rushed to the cage and shook it well. You abominable bird, if you tell tales again, I will wring your neck! And again he shook the cage till the poor creature was all ruffled, and a cloud of its feathers was flying about the shop. Next day it saw its master mixing cocoa powder with brick dust. Presently in came a customer for cocoa powder. Brick dust in the cocoa! cried the parrot, eagerly and repeatedly, till the astonished customer believed it, and went away without his cocoa. A repetition of the shaking of the cage ensued, with a warning that such another instance of tale-telling should certainly be punished with death. The parrot made internal resolutions never to speak again. Presently, however, it observed its master making shop butter of lard colored with a little turmeric. In came a lady and asked for butter. Nice fresh butter, maam, fresh from the dairy, said the shopman. Lard in the butter! Lard in the butter! said the parrot. You scoundrel, you! exclaimed the shopman, rushing at the cage. Opening it, drawing forth the luckless bird, and wringing its neck, he cast it into the ash pit. But the parrot the was not quite dead, and after lying quiet for a few minutes, she lifted up her head and saw a dead cat in the pit. Halloo! called the parrot. What is the matter with you, Tom? No answer, for the vital spark of heavenly flame had quitted the mortal frame of the poor cat. Dead! sighed the parrot. Poor Tom! He too must have been afflicted with the love of truth. Ah, me! The parrot sat up and tried her wings. They are sound. Great is truth in my own country, but in this dingy England it is at a discount, and lies are at a premium. Then spreading her wings, the parrot flew away. But whether she ever reached her own land, where truth was regarded with veneration, I have not heard. No, the parrot flew twice round the world in search of it, and could not find it. I wonder whether the parrot has found it now!

Text 2 Tortoise and Eagle The Tortoise and the Eagle very rarely met, for Eagle was at home in the clouds and Tortoise was at home on the ground. One day, though, Eagle heard how generous and kind Tortoise was and decided to pay him a visit. Tortoise was indeed kind and generous, for he invited Eagle in and fed him a most lavish meal. Eagle gorged on the delicious food and ate for several hours. In fact, the meal was so delicious that Eagle came back again and again, eating like a glutton each time. And every time he flew off he would laugh to himself, Ha ha! I have shared Tortoises hospitality, but he can never reach my tree to share mine! Eagle was so greedy that soon the other animals began to speak of it. One day Frog went to Tortoise to offer him his advice. Tortoise, said Frog, Eagle is taking advantage of your generosity. Every time he leaves your home he laughs to himself and says, Ha ha! I have shared Tortoises hospitality, but he can never reach my tree to share mine! Then Frog told him what to do. The next time Eagle came to visit, Tortoise said, Please, brother, let me give you a gourd full of food to take home to your wife and children. Eagle was quick to accept this gift and waited impatiently while Tortoise went off to collect it. In the kitchen, where Eagle couldnt see, Tortoise climbed into the gourd and his wife helped to pile food on top of him. When they were done, he was no longer visible, and the gourd appeared to be overflowing with tasty treats. Eagle took the gourd home and dumped the contents out on his floor. Out rolled Tortoise who said, Hello, Eagle. I thought it would be a nice change to visit you. I look forward to sharing a meal with you. Eagle was furious and said, You will be the only meal here, Tortoise! But as he tried to peck the little creature, he only managed to hurt his own beak on Tortoises hard shell. I see what kind of friend you are, Eagle, to threaten to eat me, said Tortoise. I think it would be best for you to take me home now. Ill throw you to the ground and watch you smash into little pieces, screamed the bird, and flew off into the sky with Tortoise in his claws. Unfortunately for Eagle, Tortoise had clamped onto his leg with an unbreakable grip and wouldnt let go. Eagle tried to fling him off but couldnt. He shrieked and begged. Oh please, please, Tortoise! Let go of my leg! Tortoise simply replied, I will be happy to do so when you have returned me to my home. Eagle tried and tried to throw Tortoise off, but in the end, he had no choice but to return him to his home. Once there, Tortoise released his hold and calmly walked to his door. Before going back in, he turned to Eagle and said, Friendship requires the contribution of two people. I welcome you into my home and you welcome me. Instead, you have chosen to abuse this hospitality. You need not return here anymore. And then he went inside, leaving Eagle to think about his selfishness.

Read the following monolog. Let me tell you my experience during an earthquake last week. When the earthquake happened, I was in my car. I was driving home from my vacation to Bali. Suddenly, my car lurched to one side, to the left. I thought I got a flat tire. I did not know that it was an earthquake. I knew it was an earthquake when I saw some telephone and electricity poles falling down to the ground, like matchsticks. Then, I saw a lot of rocks tumbling across the road. I was trapped by the rocks. Even I could not move my car at all. There were rocks everywhere. There was nothing I could do but left the car and walked a long way to my house, in the town. When I reached my town, I was so surprised that there was almost nothing left. The earthquake made a lot of damage to my town. Although nothing was left, I thanked God that nobody was seriously injured.

Read the following text. My Bad Holiday I went to my uncles house in Batam last month on the long holiday. I stayed with Uncle Antasena and Aunt Firda and their son Seno. They live in a small house in the center of the city called Nagoya. I liked the house, but I didnt like the area much because it was very noisy. My uncle and aunt were very nice. We visited Batam Center, Waterfront City and Nongsa Beach. The weather was hot all day long. Unfortunately, Seno and I disagreed on most things. He played loud music when I wanted to sleep. When his best friend came to stay, I had to sleep on the floor. When we went to a place called Galang Island, Seno didnt want to go to the ex Vietnam camp, he wanted to go fishing on the Melur beach. So, I went to the ex-Vietnam camp on my own. I didnt enjoy it. I cant say I would like to go back to my uncles house. It wasnt a nice holiday at all.

When I was in junior high school, I was not a very diligent student. In fact, I was quite lazy. I hated all the subjects that I took at school, especially science. For me science was very difficult. It was hard for me to remember the chemical processes, physics calculations, and biological processes. Once, my teacher grounded me in the library because I had not done my Biology homework. The teacher asked me to read several books and make a summary about them. When I was browsing the shelves, I found a book entitled The Inventors of Medicine. I thought, O.K., this is a start. I took it out, then began reading it. I learned from the book about Edward Jenner. He was an English doctor who found the cure for smallpox. The next one was Louis Pasteur. His interest in bacteria led him to discover the treatments for rabies and anthrax. Just like Pasteur, Robert Kochs experiments on bacteria also proved that tuberculosis can spread to others by contact. Finally, there was Alexander Flemming, a British bacteriologist who found penicillin, the first antibiotic. After I read the book, I realized that science is useful for humankind. By studying, we can discover things that can help humankind. Therefore, since that moment, I managed to change my behavior and study harder.

My Holiday in Australia Last Sunday I had a holiday in Australia. I visited a marine park called Sea World, which is at surfers Paradise near Brisbane. Its Australias largest marine park. Truly, I had a wonderful day there. The first thing I saw was the Oceanarium. It is a place where visitors can watch all kinds of fish and animals underwater. There were huge turtles, sharks and beautiful tropical fish. The most exciting thing was watching a man feeding the sharks. He wore a special diving suit. Then, I watched the performing animals. The show was in a big outdoor swimming pool. There were killer whales, dolphins and sea lions, and they did all kinds of fantastic things in the water. One of the girls in the show rode about the pool on the back of a big turtle. After the show I had lunch. There were several big restaurants at the park and I had lunch in a restaurant that was shaped like a ship! Then, I watched a wonderful water-ski show which was held on a lake. There were lots of things to do at the park. There was lake cruising, a train ride, a big water slide, swimming pools and an incredible roller coaster called the corkscrewbecause it goes through three loops upside down.

Contoh jawaban: East Java provincial government has continued to extend assistance to 43 poor families in Karangpatihan village in Ponorogo regency, whose children suffer mental health problems as a result of malnutrition. Village chief Daud Cahoyono said on Tuesday that rice, clean water, cattle and well-drilling machines had poured into the village since news about their condition made headlines last week. Administration data reveals that the village has 111 inhabitants aged between five and 40 years old with mental disabilities. Local media have referred to Karangpatihan as the village of idiots following the findings. Last week local government institutions, mass organizations and private donors dropped food supplies and clean water in the village. Daud said, however, the assistance would be short-lived as the root problems remained unaddressed. He said the village had long been deprived of health services and infrastructure required to help the villagers develop their economy.

Dear Doni, How was your holiday? Did you have a great time? Well, I did. I wrote this card because I wanted to share my experience. Last holiday my sister and I visited my uncle in Jakarta. We stayed there for five days. Quite long, isnt it? We really had a great time during the visit. Everything is unforgettable. However, the most amazing experience is when my uncle took me and my brother to Fatahillah Museum. This is one of the historical buildings in Jakarta. This building is located in Jakartas old town. It has old designs and architecture. No wonder, it was built in 1627 by the Dutch East Indies Company during the Dutch occupation in Indonesia. At that era, it was used as a governor headquarter or city hall as well as a military camp in Batavia. As a military camp, this building has underground prison cells. You know what! During the 17th and 18th centuries it had been used to isolate both criminals and indigenous people who opposed the Dutch colonial. Besides that, we can see many things that are used by the Dutch colonial authorities. Its really useful to broaden my history knowledge. Well, I hope you can go there sometime and see the building by yourself. You wont feel regretted. All right, thats my story. Hope to hear from you soon. Your friend, Eka

As I was about to pick the ball up, I saw a snake slithering towards the bushes. I gave a loud shout and all the others crowded around me. Steve told Ridwan that there was a snake in the garden. Ridwan ran to his house and told his father. His father came out of the house with a stick and a bag. He told us to stay clear of the bushes. Then, he shook the bushes to make the snake come out of hiding. After a while, the snake poked its head out from under the bushes. Ridwans father quickly pressed it down with the stick. Then, using his other hand he picked the snake up by its head and quickly put it inside the bag. He put the bag in his car. I didnt know where he would bring it, but surely I felt relieved of what he had done.

Muara labuh is a 4 hour bus trip from Padang and is a rice farming village. In year 2000 I helped harvest the rice and burn the rice fields at night for one particular family who look upon me as the 13th member of their family now as I have visited them 3 times in the past 5 years. Another area is Painan about 2 hours south of Padang by bus.

I know I have to do something for tomorrow. Or if not for tomorrow, I can do what can do today and not tomorrow or any other day.

Text 3 Im moving into a new home this weekend, so I decided to do some shopping to furnish the place. I went to an appliance store not too far from my house, and I first bought a refrigerator for the kitchen. You really cant live without one because you have to keep your food cold or frozen so it doesnt spoil. Then, I bought a washer and dryer to clean and dry my clothes. I dont want to go to a laundromat to do this every week like I used to do. Next, I bought a dishwasher. I probably dont need one because I could wash my dishes by hand, but having a dishwasher can make life easier. You simply put the dishes inside, add some dishwashing detergent, and turn the machine on. Finally, I picked up a microwave oven. If Im in a hurry and dont have time to cook, I can throw something in the microwave and heat it up quickly. I havent purchased everything I need to furnish my new place, but I think I have the basic appliances to make life more comfortable for now.

Text 4 This morning I went to the post office to take care of some business. First, I bought a sheet of postage stamps to some mail letters that were sitting on my desk. Then, I wanted to send a package to a business associate with some fragile items, so I packaged everything in bubble wrap and enclosed a letter describing the contents. The man at the counter weighed the box, and I had to fill out a form indicating the contents of the box and its value. Finally, I sent a certified letter to a colleague, and he will have to sign for it when it arrives. Certified letters are used to prove that the other person received it. I also have a number of international friends with whom I correspond regularly. Postage for overseas mail costs more than local postage rates, but you can always cut down on postage by sending a postcard instead of a regular letter.

Contoh jawaban: One day, Sandra the Milkmaid was on the way to market. She was carrying her milk in a pail on her head. As she went along, she began calculating what she would do with the money that she would get for the milk. Ill buy some hens from Farmer Harris, said she, and surely they will lay eggs each morning. After twenty days, the eggs will be hatched. It means I will have many chicks. Soon, the chicks will grow into hens and roosters, which I will sell them to market. Then, with the money that I get from the sale of these chickens, Ill buy myself a finest beautiful dress and some jewelries. Next, I will go to the palace to see the princess and introduce myself with respect. Wont all the young men come up and speak to me? Every girl who knows me will be that jealous, but I dont care. I shall just look at her and toss my head like this. Suddenly, as she spoke to herself, she tossed her head back. The pail fell off, and all the milk was spilt! She cried. All what she had dreamt of just faded away. Poor Sandra!

Contoh jawaban: Once upon a time, on the coast of Java in an area called Tanjung Perak, lived a variety of sea animals. You know, they lived in peace and harmony. Only an octopus, called Cumi, could not get along with the other sea creatures. You know why? Cumi was very cruel. One day Cumi went to the house of a fish named Suro. He told Suro that one of the crocodiles, Boyo, would soon attack Suro. I tell you that . . . Suro and Boyo were close friends and kind to each other. Of course, Suro did not believe Cumi. Finally, Cumi went to the house of Boyo. This time Cumi was successful. Boyo got very upset with Suro. He swam hurriedly to Suros house. You know, Boyo was a very strong creature. He attacked Suro and wounded him. At first, Suro was still calm and did not fight back, but he knew that Boyo would never stop attacking him. So, Suro fought Boyo bravely until the sea turned red with their blood.

In the place where they fought was built the city called Suroboyo. Suroboyo is a Javanese word derived from Suro and Boyo. Suro means brave and Boyo means danger. Suroboyo, therefore, means brave in danger. In Indonesian language Suroboyo is pronounced and spelled Surabaya.

Write a narrative. You may choose your own topic.
Contoh jawaban: Sweet Porridge There was a poor but good little girl who lived with her mother. They had nothing to eat. One day, the child went into the forest, and there an aged woman who was aware of her sorrow met her. She gifted her with a little pot, which when she said, Cook, little pot, cook, would cook good, sweet porridge, and when she said, Stop, little pot, it ceased to cook. The girl took the pot home to her mother, and soon they got free from their poverty and hunger, and ate sweet porridge as often as they wanted. One day, when the girl had gone out, her mother said, Cook, little pot, cook. And it did cook and she ate till she was satisfied, and then she wanted the pot to stop cooking, but did not know the word. So it went on cooking and the porridge rose over the edge, and still it cooked on until the kitchen and whole house were full, and then the next house, and then the whole street, just as if it wanted to satisfy the hunger of the whole world, and there was the greatest distress, but no one knew how to stop it. At last when only one single house remained, the child came home and just said, Stop, little pot, and it stopped and gave up cooking, and whomsoever wished to return to the town had to eat his way back!

B. Esai Contoh jawaban: The Boat that Went Both on Land and on Water There was once a great kingdom whose king had a daughter to marry off. A bit proud she was, but more beautiful than any. The king
was in no hurry to find her a husband. He loved to have her with him for she was as quick as a warbler, as straight as an arrow, and as sunny as an Easter day. He didnt look forward to letting any young man have her, not even a kings son. Anyway, thought he, where will I ever find a real match for her? Shes my daughter, after all, the daughter of a great king. But in time, the queen, the dishwasher, the minister and the cobbler, in fact everyone in the castle and in the streets, began reminding the king at every turn that this daughter of his was his only child. He had to get her marriednot to a prince, perhaps, if he couldnt think of a suitable one, but at least to a capable lad who could one day govern the kingdom. Is that what you want? cried the king one morning, as his minister brought the subject up for the umpteenth time. Is that your wish? You want a capable lad? All right, at the stroke of noon, have it announced with a flourish of trumpets that Ill give my daughter to anyone who takes wood from my forest and builds me a boat that goes both on land and on water. Yes, Ill say, to anyone who comes asking for her riding a boat like that! To himself he said, A lot of water will flow under the bridges before any mothers son brings me a boat you can sail over fields and waves. These fools wont pester me any more with their nonsense about having to get my girl married!

Text 1 Telaga Warna Long long ago there was a kingdom in West Java. The kingdom was ruled by a king. People called their king His Majesty Prabu. Prabu was a kind and wise king. No wonder if that country was prosperous. Theres no hunger in this kingdom. It was a very happy condition. But it was a pity that Prabu and his queen hadnt got any children. It made the royal couple very very sad. Some old men and women who was respected by Prabu suggested that the king adopt a child. But Prabu and the queen didnt agree. No, thank you. But for us, our own daughter or son is better than adopted children. The queen was very sad. She often cried. That was why Prabu decided to go. He went to the jungle. There he prayed to God. Every day he begged for a child. His dream come true. A few months later, the queen got pregnant. All people in the kingdom felt happy. They sent many presents to the palace to express their happiness. Nine months later a princess was born. People sent their presents again as a gift to the little princess. This baby grew as a beautiful teenager then. Prabu and Queen loved their daughter so much. They gave whatever she wanted. It made Princess a very spoiled girl. When her wish couldnt be realized, she became very angry. She even said bad things often. A true princess wouldnt do that. Even though the princess behaved badly, her parents loved her, so did the people in that kingdom. Day by day, the princess grew more beautiful. No girls couldnt compare with her. In a few days, Princess would be 17 years old. So, people of that kingdom went to palace. They brought many presents for her. Their presents were very beautiful. Prabu collected the presents. There were really many presents. Then, Prabu stored them in a building. Some times he could take them to give to his people. Prabu only took some gold and jewels. Then, she brought them to the goldsmith. Please make a beautiful necklace for my daughter, said Prabu. My pleasure, Your Majesty, the goldsmith replied. The goldsmith worked with all his heart and his ability. He wanted to create the most beautiful necklace in the world because he loved his princess. The birthday came. People gathered in the palace field. When Prabu and queen appeared, people welcomed them happily. Prabu and his wife waved to their beloved people. Cheers were louder and louder when the princess appeared with her fabulous pretty face. Everybody admired her beauty. Prabu got up from his chair. A lady gave him a small and glamorous pillow. A wonderful necklace was on it. Prabu took that necklace. My beloved daughter, today I give this necklace to you. This necklace is a gift from people in this country. They love you so much. They presented it for you to express their happiness, because you have been growing to a woman. Please, wear this necklace, said Prabu. Princess accepted the necklace. She looked at the necklace in a glance. I dont want to accept it! Its ugly! shouted the princess. Then, she threw the necklace. The beautiful necklace was broken. The gold and jewels were spread out on the floor.
193
Everybody couldnt say anything. They never thought that their beloved princess would did such a cruel thing. Nobody spoke. In their silence people heard the queen crying. Every woman felt sad and began crying too. Then, everybody was crying. Then, there was a miracle. Earth was crying. Suddenly, from the underground, a spring emerged. It made a pool of water. The place was getting full. Soon the place became a big lake. The lake sank all of the kingdom. Nowadays the water on that lake is not as full as before. There is only a small lake now. People called the lake Talaga Warna. It means Lake of Color. Its located in Puncak, West Java. On a bright day, the lake is full of color. So beautiful and amazing. These colors come from shadows of forests, plants, flowers and sky around the lake. But some people said that the colors are from the princess necklace, which spreads at the bottom of the lake.
Text 2 The Story of Kelana Sakti Once upon a time in North Sumatra, there was a kingdom named Purnama. The king was King Indra Sakti. He was a wise king. All of his people lived prosperous and happy. The king and the queen had a baby boy. He was the prince of the palace. In Purnama kingdom, there was a small village. Kelana Sakti and his parents lived there. Kelana Sakti was a nice boy. He was diligent and always helped his parents. One day, there was bad news from the kingdom. King Indra Sakti was terribly ill. All the palace healers tried to heal him, but did not succeed. The King was getting weaker and weaker everyday. So, he called all his family and the palace commander, Panglima Badau, to meet him. My wife, please forgive all my mistakes. I cannot live any longer. Please take care of our son. Make him the king when he is adult, said the king to the queen. Then, he continued, Panglima Badau, I trust this kingdom to you. You are the king until my son is adult. Please train him and teach him how to be a good king. Not long after that, King Indra Sakti died. Panglima Badau then became the king. He really enjoyed his time as a king. He often had parties and neglected the people. Soon, the kingdom was in a mess and the king only had fun in his parties. To pay all his parties, Panglima Badau asked his people to pay expensive taxes. Soldiers went to peoples house to collect the money, and that was including Kelana Saktis house. Because Kelanas parents didnt have any, the soldiers brought them and sent them to jail. Kelana Sakti asked them not to bring his parents, but a soldier was angry at him and hit him. Kelana Sakti was unconscious. When he was awake, he was inside an old mans house. Where am I? Where are my parents? Dont worry. You are in my house. You are safe here. Your parents are in the palace. The king sent them to jail, said the old man. Since then, Kelana Sakti lived with the old man. He learned many things from him, especially martial arts. When Kelana Sakti was adult, he completely changed. He was a man with great skills of martial arts. It was time for him to go to the palace and freed his parents. The old man gave him the blessings and asked him to be careful. So, Kelana Sakti fought bravely against the soldiers. He won. Then, the last one was fighting against Panglima Badau himself. Again he won the fight and freed everybody in jail. Then, he sent Panglima Badau to jail. The prince was so thankful to Kelana Sakti. The prince then asked Kelana Sakti to be the palace commander.

Text 3 The Kings Son and the Painted Lion A King, whose only son was fond of martial exercises, had a dream. He was warned that his son would be killed by a lion. Afraid the dream will come true, he built for his son a pleasant palace and adorned its walls for his amusement with all kinds of life-sized animals, among which was the picture of a lion. When the young Prince saw this, his grief at being thus confined burst out a fresh, and, standing near the lion, he said: O you most detestable of animals! Through a lying dream of my fathers, which he saw in his sleep, I am shut up on your account in this palace as if I had been a girl. What shall I now do to you? With these words he stretched out his hands toward a thorn-tree, meaning to cut a stick from its branches so that he might beat the lion. However, one of the trees prickles pierced his finger and caused great pain and inflammation. It made the young Prince fell down in a fainting fit. A violent fever suddenly set in, from which he died not many days later.

Text 4 The Legend of Lake Batur A long time ago, there lived on the island of Bali a giantlike creature named Kbo Iwo. The people of Bali used to say that Kbo Iwo was everything, a destroyer as well as a creator. He was satisfied with the meal, but this meant for the Balinese people enough food for a thousand men. Difficulties arose when for the first time the barns were almost empty and the new harvest was still a long way off.This made Kbo Iwo wild with great anger. In his hunger, he destroyed all the houses and even all the temples. It made the Balinese turn to rage. So, they came together to plan steps to oppose this powerful giant by using his stupidity. They asked Kbo Iwo to build them a very deep well, and rebuild all the houses and temples he had destroyed. After they fed Kbo Iwo, he began to dig a deep hole. One day he had eaten too much, he fell asleep in the hole. The oldest man in the village gave a sign, and the villagers began to throw the limestone they had collected before into the hole. The limestone made the water inside the hole boiling. Kbo Iwo was buried alive. Then the water in the well rose higher and higher until at last it overfl owed and formed Lake Batur. The mound of earth dug by Kbo Iwo is known as Mount Batur.

Text 5 Running For His Life One day a cheetah went hunting by himself in the woods. He spotted a rabbit in the underbrush and chased him out into the open. The rabbit darted this way and that. The cheetah followed. The rabbit ran, with the cheetah at his heels, around trees and through an open field. When the cheetah began to tire of the chase, the rabbit, with one last burst of energy, dashed into the thicket and escaped to safety. As the cheetah turned back for home, a tiger who had seen the chase jeered at him, saying, Some hunter you are! You let that rabbit get the best of you! You forget, replied the tired cheetah, about the rabbits strife! I was only running for my supper. He was running for his life!

Text 6 Antlers A handsome stag with majestic antlers admired himself in a lake. As he looked at his reflection he thought, My antlers are beautiful! But these spindly legs of mine are so skinny I wish I could hide them in shame. Just then a hunters arrow whizzed by and the stag bounded into the woods. As he ran, his beautiful antlers caught and snagged on the branches of a low-growing tree. Struggling, he finally pulled himself free. If it werent for the exquisite speed of his legs, he would surely have been captured. After that, when he gazed at his spindly legs, his pride would swell. In times of danger, he thought, they serve me well.

Adam Malik was born on July 22, 1917 in Pematang Siantar, North Sumatra. He got his elementary education in a Dutch-run primary school and then a religious school. You know what? He had actively participated in the Indonesian national movement from an early age. When he was only seventeen, he was elected Chairman of the Partai Indonesia in Pematang Siantar and Medan, both in North Sumatra. Quite young to be a leader, wasnt he? Then, Adam Malik decided to leave Sumatra for Java. Later on December 13, 1937 he founded the Antara press bureau. You know, it is now known as the Antara News Agency, the official Indonesian news agency. Adam Malik had important roles in the events leading up to Indonesias Declaration of Independence. Let me tell you. Adam Malik had stunning careers. Some of them were the duties of a diplomat, as an ambassador to the Soviet Union and Poland, as Foreign Affairs Minister, as President of the United Nations General Assembly, as the Chairmanship of the Peoples Consultative Assembly or MPR, and as a vice president. In 1982, Adam Malik received the Dag Hammarskjld Award from the United Nations. Unfortunately, he had to end his devotion to his beloved country. He passed away on 5 September 1984 in Bandung, West Java. Because of his service, he has been recognized as one of our National Heroes.

The bold-typed sentence in dialog 2 is called an indirect speech. It retells what someone has said. In an indirect speech, you retell what someone has said by saying, for example Mr. Jasson said, Ms. Julia replied, the boy answered, etc. Moreover, you have to change certain things as follows. 1. Pronouns When you change a direct speech into an indirect one, you have to modify the pronouns in order to adjust the subject of that indirect speech. Example: Direct Speech David said, Ervan wants to send you an e-mail. Indirect Speech David said that Ervan wanted to send me an e-mail. 2. Adverbs of Time Adverbs of time should also be adjusted to make the statement clear. Example: Direct Speech Bagus said, I met Ms. Aulia in a Padang restaurant yesterday. Indirect Speech Bagus said that he had met Ms. Aulia in a Padang restaurant the day before. Here are the changes of adverbs of time. here these (days) today next (week) last week 3. o o o o o there this (evening) those (days) now yesterday (two weeks) ago the following (week) tomorrow the week before/the previous week o o o o that (evening) then (two weeks) before the following day
Tenses You also have to modify the tenses because the time setting of direct and indirect speech is different. Study the explanation below. Direct Speech Simple Present Riza said, I use my computer. Simple Past Riza said, I used my computer. Simple Perfect Riza said, I have used my computer. Present Continuous Riza said, I am going to use my computer. Simple Future Riza said, I will use my computer. Indirect Speech Simple Past Riza said that she used her computer. Past Perfect Riza said that she had used her computer.

Teks yang dibacakan guru: Our national anthem is Indonesia Raya meaning Indonesia the Great. The song was composed in 1928. The colonial policy of those days was divide and rule. It was a policy that deliberately aggravated language, ethnic, cultural and religious differences among the people. The birth of Indonesia Raya marked the beginning of Indonesian nationalist movements. The song was first introduced by its composer, Wage Rudolf Supratman. This occured at the second All Indonesian Youth Congress on October 28, 1928 in Batavia, now Jakarta. It was the moment when Indonesian youth of different ethnic, language, religious and cultural backgrounds gathered. They resolutely pledged allegiance to: One native land, Indonesia. One nation, the Indonesian nation. One unifying language, the Indonesian language. Soon the song, calling for the unity of Indonesia, became popular. It was echoed at Indonesian political rallies, where people stood in solemn observance. The song aroused national consciousness among the people throughout the archipelago.

Her name in Indonesian means Grace born out of a dream. At a young age, Anggun Cipta Sasmi decided to follow in her father, Darto Singos footsteps, and become an entertainer. During her early years, she was influenced by rock sounds of native Javanese artists and the rock & roll icon, Elvis Presley. She began performing at the age of 7 and recorded her first album two years later. By the time Anggun was 17, she was a successful national rock star. Anggun Cipta Sasmi began to feel unsatisfied with her success in Asia and, at 19, she left Indonesia in hopes of breaking through in the European music charts. With her first husband, she moved to London and then Paris, where she met music producer Erick Benzi. He was the one who had produced music for stars such as Celine Dion, and Johnny Hallyday, a popular French singer. Benzi was quite impressed by Angguns talent and immediately offered her to work with him on her new album. He persuaded her to move away from her original rock influences and experiment with a more sensual and romantic sound. Angguns smooth new style would prove an immediate success in France. Her first French album, Au Nom de la Lune (titled Anggun for Indonesia and Japanese market and Snow On The Sahara in other 13 countries including the US) not only skyrocketed Anggun to fame in France, the album was also a major hit in her native country, Indonesia. Her second album Desirs Contraires (Chrysalis in foreign and US markets) proved to be a worldwide hit as well.

Contoh jawaban: Sir Alexander Fleming is famous as the discoverer of the antibiotic substance lysozyme and for isolating the antibiotic substance penicillin from the fungus Penicillium notatum. Fleming was born in Ayrshire, Scotland. He attended St Marys Hospital medical school in London until World War I broke out. He participated in a battlefield hospital with many of his colleagues in the fronts of France. Being exposed to the horrid medical infections by the dying soldiers, he returned to St. Marys after the war. He went there with renewed energy in searching for an improved antiseptic. Both of Flemings discoveries happened entirely by accident during the 1920s. The first, lysozyme, was discovered after mucus from his nose dropped into a bacterium laced Petri dish (he sneezed). A few days later, it was noted that bacteria where the mucus had fallen had been destroyed. Flemings labs were usually in disarray, which led to be to his advantage. In September 1928, he was sorting through the many idle experiments strewn about his lab. He inspected each specimen before discarding it and noticed an interesting fungal colony had grown as a contaminant on one of the agar plates streaked with the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. Fleming inspected the Petri dish further and found that the bacterial colonies around the fungus were transparent because their cells were lysing. Lysis is the breakdown of cells, and in this case, potentially harmful bacteria. The importance was immediately recognized, however the discovery was still underestimated, initially used to clean his glassware. Fleming issued a publication about penicillin in the British Journal of Experimental Pathology in 1929. For his achievements, Fleming was knighted in 1944 and shared the Nobel prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1945 with Florey and Ernst Boris Chain.

A. Choose A, B, C or D for the correct answer. Read the text and answer questions 1 to 3. The Caka period in Indonesia witnessed the introduction of the Sanskrit language and the Pallawa script by the Indian Prince Aji Caka (78 AD). The Devanagari script of the Sanskrit language was also used, as shown in ancient stone and copper inscriptions (paracasthies) which have been unearthed. The language and script were adapted and called the Kawi language and included words and phrases derived from Javanese. Early trade relations were established between South India and Indonesia. Sumatra was then named Swarna Dwipa or the island of gold, Java was called Java Dwipa or the rice island, and a Hindu kingdom of Crivijaya in Sumatra and Nalanda in South India were not confined to religious and cultural exchanges. They later developed diplomatic relations, and even covered a wide range of trade. The influx of Indian settlers continued during the period from the first to the seventh century AD. Peacefully and gradually the Hindu religion spread throughout the archipelago. It was adopted by all layers of the people of Java, but limited to the upper classes on the other islands.

the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy, Muhammad Ali remains a magical figure, known and loved throughout the world. Ali brought new speed and grace to his sport, and his charm and wit changed forever what we expect a champion to be. His accomplishments in the ring were the stuff of legend: two fights with Sonny Liston, where he proclaimed himself The Greatest and proved he was; three ambitious wars with Joe Frazier; the stunning victory over George Foreman in Zaire; and dethroning Leon Spinks to become heavyweight champion for the third time. But there was always far more to Muhammad Ali than what took place in a boxing ring. His early embrace of the Nation of Islam and his insistence on being called Muhammad Ali instead of his slave name, Cassius Clay, introduced a new era in black pride. His refusal to be inducted into the United States army anticipated the growing antiwar movement of the 1960s. And his willingness to stage his fights in different countries such as Kinshasa, Zaire; Manila, Philippines; and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, signaled a shift away from super power dominances toward a growing awareness of the importance of the third world. Today Ali is a deeply religious man who causes feeling of love and respect wherever he travels. 8. From the text, we know that Muhammad Ali . A. is a boxer B. is not a boxer anymore C. still plays boxing so far D. never played boxing well

Maria Yosephine Catharina Maramis was born in Kema, a small port city in North Sulawesi, on December 1, 1872. Her ambitions were to promote the womens rights, so they can take care of their family and educate their children. Maria became an orphan when she was six years old. Since then, with her two siblings, she was raised by her uncle and aunt Ezam Rotinsulu in Airmadidi. Marias education only reached elementary school. At that time, Minahasan girls were not permitted to study more than elementary level. They only stayed at home and helped their parents until it was time to get married. Marias uncle was an esteemed person. He was very well-known. The introduction and relationship between Maria and Reverend Ten Hoeven, whom she met through her uncle, expanded Marias knowledge. Since then, Maria aspired to advance the women of Minahasa. This aspiration was further cultivated when she married an HIS Manado teacher in 1890. With the help of her husband, Yoseph Frederik Calusung Walanda, and several other scholars, Maria started an organization in July 1917. This organization was named Percintaan Ibu Kepada Anak TurunannyaPIKAT (The Love of a Mother Toward Her Children). The purpose of this organization was to teach women with elementary school level education family matters, like cooking, sewing, taking care of babies, hand crafting and others. Maria thought that women were very important in the family, and they were responsible for the future of their children. The PIKAT organization was accepted by society and in a short period of time, branches of the organization were established in Sangir Talaud, Gorontalo, Poso, Ujung Pandang, Bogor, Malang, Surabaya, Bandung, Cimahi and Magelang. There were also branches in Kalimantan, Balikpapan, Sangusangu and Kotaraja. Maria Walanda Maramis died in 1924, and was buried in Maumbi, North Sulawesi.

Contoh jawaban: The mayor, Jaime Lerner, along with the council, began developing the world-famous system in Curitiba, Brazil in 1971. Mr. Lerner had grown up in Curitiba and knew that the street was an important part of city life for the residents. He made many of the streets into pedestrian areas, with no access for cars. The council put in flowers, lights and kiosks where people could sell food and other products. To encourage shoppers to use the new areas, the mayor gave away free paper so that local children could paint pictures in the street.

Text 1 In 1996 the US gymnastic team started the competition well and after the first stage was in third place behind Russia and Rumania. Then, in the floor exercises, Kerri Strug scored 9.825 a very high score and enough to put the US in second place. The US womens team had never beaten the Russians. Now, at the start of the final day, they were leading. The floor exercises were still continuing and the vaultKerris best eventwas still to come. In the vault, the first two members of the US team received only average marks. Meanwhile, the Russians were performing excellent routines in the floor exercises. Then disaster struck the US team. Dominique Moceanu did her two vaults and fell both times. Now it was all up to Kerri, who was the last of her team to go. She tried the very difficult Yurchenko vault but she fell on her first attempt. One fall in the finals is quite rare but this now made it three in a row for the US team! As Kerri walked away, everyone could see that she was limping. She knew that she should withdraw from the competition. But she also knew that if she didnt make the second vault and score well, the US team would lose its lead. Showing great courage and determination, she decided to go for it. Even though her ankle was causing her terrible pain with every step, she ran hard towards the vault. She hit the board, flew through the air, and landed perfectly. She held her position for a couple of secondslong enough for the vault to count as a clean vaultand then collapsed to the floor in agony. Then came the score9.712. It was enough to keep the US team in the lead. They had won for the first time ever! By now Kerri couldnt even walk because of the terrible pain in her ankle. Bela Karolyi, her coach, carried her up to collect her team gold medal. By attempting that second vault, she effectively put herself out of the Individual and All-Around events. For her courage and unselfishness, Kerri Strug won the praise and admiration of people around the world.
Text 2 Jim Thorpe was one of the greatest American football players and athletics all-rounders of all time. He was born around I 888 in Oklahoma. His original Native American name was Wa-tho-huck (Bright Path). His parents were of Sauk and Fox ancestry. At the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden, Thorpe won gold medals in both the pentathlon and the decathlon events. Then, early in 1913 1913, a Massachusetts reporter discovered that Thorpe had played semi-professional baseball in North Carolina in 1909 and 1910. At that time the Olympic Games were open only to amateur athletes, that is, athletes who had never played any sport for money. The US Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) confronted Thorpe about these findings. In a letter to the AAU, Thorpe admitted that he had played baseball saying, I did not play for the money but because I liked to play ball. It was later found that he had received perhaps as little as $2 per game. In a letter to the AAU, Thorpe wrote, I was not very wise to the ways of the world. I hope I will be partly excused by the fact that I was an Indian schoolboy and did not know what I was doing! Nevertheless, the AAU stripped him of his two medals.
251
After the Olympics, Thorpe enjoyed a long and very successful career in professional baseball. He died in 1 953. For years, many people lobbied for Thorpe to be reinstated as Olympic champion. They argued that the distinction between amateur and professional was no longer applicable. Finally, in 1982, International Olympic Committee restored Thorpes Olympic title and his status as an amateur. However, officially, even today, he is only listed as a co-winner.

And the men of the village tried to cheer the potter. Queer boys often become great men, they said. And one old man said, Leave the boy alone. We shall see whether he is a wise man or a fool.

Everything was touched with a pink and golden light, and deep shadows lay on the banana gardens and forests in the distance. However, the boy saw none of these things. He was footsore and weary and miserable. He sat down on a fallen log, tired out with his long day. Suddenly a lion came out on to the clearing. What are you doing here all alone? he said severely. I am very miserable, said the boy, and I have come into the forest to think, for I do not know whether I am a wise man or a fool.

Is that all you think about? said the lion. Yes, answered the boy, I think about it night and day. Then you are a fool, said the lion decidedly. Wise men think about things that benefit the country. And he walked away. An antelope came bounding out on the clearing and stopped to stare at the boy. What are you doing here? he asked. I am very miserable, answered the boy, I dont know whether I am a wise man or a fool. Do you ever eat anything? said the antelope. Yes, said the boy, my mother cooks twice a day, and I eat. Do you ever thank her? said the antelope. No, I have never thought of that, answered the boy. Then you are a fool, said the antelope. Wise men are always grateful. And he bounded off into the forest again.

Jalan Kartika number 78 Bandung Dear Cousin Freda, How are you getting on? The week break has arrived. It has been rainy weather here for quite some time now. But yesterday the weather was fine. So, mother decided to bring us to a circus that was in town. It seemed the circus was from India. I must tell you what happened over there yesterday. I think you will enjoy reading this. When we reached the circus grounds, we saw that the place was already very crowded. Children were running about everywhere gripping balloons and pink fairy floss in great big clouds. Giant-sized Mickey and Minnie swayed about the place nodding at everyone in their paths. Then, mother decided to watch the animal show. This was in a huge enclosed tent. We bought our tickets and quickly got to our seats. Then, the show began. Lions and their keepers performed first. The lions hopped on one box to another whenever the keeper clapped. After that, the trampoline jumpers came and walked on tight ropes. Finally, it was the elephant show. I dont think I am ever going to forget the attractions in the circus. It was really a memorable experience. Yours sincerely, Amanda

Read the text and answer questions 32 to 35. An eagle was chasing after a hare for her dinner. The poor little hare did not know what to do. So, when he came across a beetle, the only other animal he saw, he begged him for help. The beetle stood between the hare and the eagle and asked for the eagle to spare this hares life. The eagle brushed off the beetle. In her opinion the beetle had nothing important to say because he was so small. Then, the eagle ate the hare right in front of the beetle.
260
From that point on the beetle hunted out the eagles nests, climbed into them and pushed her eggs out to the ground so that they would break. The eagle went to Zeus for help. Zeus allowed the eagle to make a nest on his lap so that he could protect the eggs himself. The wily beetle made a gross dung pellet, flew over Zeus head and dropped it on him. Without thinking Zeus stood up to brush the pellet off and let the nest fall to the ground, breaking all of the eggs. Since that day, the eagle does not nest during the beetle season.

The two, feeling excited that they had reached the top, jumped with joy. They could now rest in the cool, morning mist; perhaps, even help themselves to a sandwich and a cup of hot coffee. The forest around them was quiet too quiet. The waters of the reservoir below were blue and calm. The sun was not up yet, but there was the faint light of dawn. Joe stepped carefully over patches of fallen leaves and twigs which were wet and, therefore, slippery.
261
Suddenly, he halted. He was staring at something and Mavis became frightened. It was easy to know when Mavis was scared because her eyes would open large and round and her jaw would drop. Her fear of their being trapped in the forest had got the better of her. She was about to scream when Joe looked back and smiled. His wide grin had a pleasant effect of instantly dissolving the fear in Mavis, who moved cautiously down the path to where Joe was. There was a group of hikers about thirty meters down the slope making their way to where they were to reach the summit too, obviously. In the faint light, Mavis spotted a cousin of hers in that group of young people. She let out a shrill Hi! and sat on the patch of wet leaves and twigs, feeling relieved.

Mengapa
Guru Membutuhkan
Buku Ini?
Pertanyaan di atas, mungkin kurang pas. Barangkall pertanyaan yang tepat adalah 'Apakah guru masih membutuhkan buku ini?' Pertanyaan berikutnya mung kin 'Ada apa dengan buku ini?' atau 'Apa manfaat buku ini?' Mungkin masih banyak lagi pertanyaan yang mengemuka berkaitan dengan buku ini. Pertanyaan-pertanyaan di atas dapat dlpahami mengingat saat ini semua siswa SMP telah mempunyai buku teks dari pemerintah, yaitu Buku Sekolah Elektronik (BSE). Justru karena itulah, buku ini kami susun. Lho, kok aneh? BSE yang dibagikan kepada siswa, baik yang melalui dana APBD atau program BOS merupakan buku teks yang secara kualitas materi sangat bag us. Buku tersebut sudah diuji kelayakannya dalam penilalan yang dlselenggarakan oleh BSNP. Sesuai dengan program pemerinlah, seluruh sekolah dl Indonesia hendaknya menggunakan BSE. Sudah selayaknya kita mendukung program tersebut. Sebagai bentuk dukungan terhadap program pemerintah, kita hendaknya mengoptimalkan pemanfaatan BSE. Bagalmana caranya? Sejak diterapkannya Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan (KTSP), peran guru mulai bergeser. Guru tidak lagi berperan menentukan apa yang akan dipelajari, tetapi lebih sebagai fasilitator yang memfasilitasi bagaimana menyediakan dan memperkaya pengalaman belajar siswa. Di balik peran baru itu, terdapat sejumlah tuntutan yang kalau dlbual /ist-nya bisa panjang sekali. Dalam perannya sebagai fasilitalor, guru dituntut untuk merancang kegiatan pembelajaran guna memfasilitasi siswa agar lebih aktif berperan dalam proses pembelajaran. Dengan kata lain, guru dituntut untuk memberi peluang seluas-Iuasnya kepada slswa agar aktif secara positif dan edukatif ketika proses pembelajaran berlangsung. Dengan begitu, kemampuan slswa akan leblh berkembang dan belajar akan lebih bermakna. Tuntutan inilah yang tidak seluruhnya terakomodasi oleh BSE. Apa solusinya? Buku inilah solusinya. Buku ini disusun sebagai jembatan untuk menghubungkan kebutuhan guru dengan BSE. Sebagai jembatan, buku ini diramu sedemikian rupa agar mampu memberi altematif pembelajaran, sekaligus membantu meringankan beban guru dalam keglatan belajar mengajar. Sesuai dengan semangat KTSP, tentu saja materi dalam buku ini masih bisa dikembang kan lagi sesuai kondisi sekolah dan daerah setempat. Apa keistimewaan buku ini? Buku yang sekarang ada di tangan Bapakllbu ini menyajikan alternatif pembelajaran yang mungkin sangat berguna sebagai persiapan mengajar. Selain itu, buku Inl telah kaml lengkapi dengan silabus. Harapan kami buku inl akan benar-benar membantu Bapakllbu dalam kegiatan pembelajaran. Lebih jauh ke dalam, kami telah menyertakan kegiatan-kegiatan variasi dalam buku ini. Kami menyajikan kegiatan-kegiatan variasi itu dengan tujuan agar guru lebih leluasa mengajar dan membekali para siswa kompetensi. Dengan kegiatan-kegiatan variasi yang cukup banyak ini, guru tidak perlu repot menyiapkan kegiatan-kegiatan yang masih diperlukan. Ditambah lagi adanya Reading Materials yang ada di akhir setiap unit. Bapakllbu jelas akan semakin terbantu. Bapakllbu tinggal memanfaatkan semua itu di dalam pembelajaran. Tidak itu saja. Untuk menguji tingkat kompetensi siswa, kami menyajikan soal-soal yang mencakup empat keterampilan berbahasa - listening, speaking, reading dan writing - yang cukup banyak. Soal-soal tersebut tertuang dalam Review (khusus di Buku Pegangan Guru), Assessment (ada di buku siswa dan di Buku Pegangan Guru), Latihan Ulangan Tengah Semester, dan latihan Ujian Nasional yang sangal berguna bagi siswa dalam mempersiapkan diri menghadapi Ujian Nasional kelak. Mengapa disajikan soal yang begitu banyak? Tujuannya adalah agar kemampuan siswa lebih lerlaUh dan berkembang. Dalam PG inl, soar-seal lersebul juga diberi pembahasan seperlunya yang bisa dikembangkan guru lebih lanjut. Dengan formula tersebut inl kami sangat berharap, buku Ini diharapkan dapat membantu tugas Bapakllbu Guru sebagai ujung tombak pendidikan di Indonesia. Di langan Bapakllbu-Iah nasib generasi muda berada. Majulah pendidlkan di Indonesia.
