Text for questions 30 to 33
Love is the fundamental aspect of our daily life. Our activities are colored with love and
love is the blood of our relation with Gods creatures. It is not easy to define what love is all about
because love concern many aspects; surely we can never describe what we exactly mean by love. In
our daily lives we can divide love into several categories.
We can differentiate between the love we have for our parents, our brothers and sisters, our
best friends, our lover and of course our love to the Creator. When a man and a woman make up
their minds to go through this life together, we know that they are in love. When a brother brings
home a sweet doll for his younger sister, we call that love. Even, when a mother is getting angry at
her child, she does it because she loves him. Love is one of the mysteries in our lives. In Love, we
not only find passion, truth and belief, but also hate and hurt as well.
Although love is indescribable, it is something that we can touch with our feeling and
hearts. Sometimes we say that we love someone but actually what we feel is only admiration. It is
said that when we want to get close to someone all the time and we are willing to do everything for
that person without anything in return, we love that person.
However, I personally believe that love is more than that. Even if the above definition is
close enough to the love we have for our lover, it is greater than any definition in this world.
30. What is the thesis statement of the text?
a. Love is fundamental aspect of life that can divide into several categories
b. In Love, we not only find passion but also hate and hurt as well
c. Love is describable that can touch with our feeling and heart
d. Love is just the blood of our relation with Gods creatures
e. Love is needed by man and woman who want to go through life together
31. Love is one of mysteries in our live because .
a. it has a greater meaning than any definition in this world
b. Love can make us want to get close to someone and do everything
c. It makes a brother brings home sweet dolls for his sister
d. in love we not only find truth and belief but also hate and hurt as well.
e. It makes us giving an admiration to someone we love
32. Sometimes we say that we love someone but actually what we feel is only admiration
(line 14-15, paragraph-3)
The word admiration means .
a. delighted
b. happy
c. believe
d. excitement
e. esteem
33. The writer suggests that we should
a. believe that love is more greater than any definition in this world
b. believe that love is only of those definitions

c. not think that love is more than those definitions

d. consider that love is the blood of our relation to Gods creatures
e.

not consider that love is only can touch with feeling and heart

Nowadays, the video game industry is developing rapidly. It becomes a multi-billion dollar
industry. Video games have become an important part not only in the childrens life but also the
adults. Nevertheless, there is an argument whether video games bring good or bad influences on
children.
People who have a pro argument claim that video games give a lot of benefits. Playing
video games is a good way to kill childrens boredom. It can refresh the childrens mind after a
tiring school day. Moreover, they also argue that video games can trigger children to be more
creative because the games provide challenging ways to win. In other words, they believe that video
games can actually sharpen a humans brain.
Conversely, some people believe that video games make children lazy. They argue that
playing video games is addictive. As a consequence, most of the children prefer playing video
games to studying. These children find it hard to concentrate on their study because they want to

play video games. In addition, most of the video games often expose too much violence. Two years
ago in USA, for example, a student shot his teacher and some of his friends. Newspapers said that
