Consider Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to complain about an article in last Monday’s newspaper, “School fails low-income children.” As the head teacher in one of the largest Junior High Schools, I feel strongly that the article does not describe our school. My school has children from many different economic backgrounds, but a large percentage come from lower-income families. Nevertheless, our tests show that the children do well and benefit from the excellent work our teachers do. Last year, our school moved from the 24th to 5th place according to the official assessment by the government. This is clearly not the “failure” that the article suggests. I would strongly recommend that more careful research should be conducted in the future so that newspaper will more realistically describe the true situation in our school. Yours sincerely, Joan Gonzales 3. What does the letter tells you about? a. Different economic background of students b. Achievement of low-income children c. Complain about the result of the unreal research d. The percentage of the official assessment e. The failure of low-income students in study 4.

It has become a new lifestyle for people in modern city since 21st century. Even though there are still many people who prefer buying their daily needs in a market to shopping online, shopping online for certain people has more advantages than its drawbacks. There are strong arguments in favour of online shopping. For some people, particularly working people, they argue that the existence of online shop is very utilitarian in their life. That is because they do not have to go to a market which they may spend much time. Moreover, online shop has offered many types of goods that customers can buy, so they have many preferences to select the best ones. Furthermore, nowadays, there have been many online shops which put some buyer testimonies on their websites. If customers feel worried about the quality of the goods, they can see and read some testimonies concerning the quality of the goods. Therefore, with the presence of testimony, customers can easily determine whether the quality of goods is decent or not. In conclusion, online shopping has advantages and merits for many people. Thus, people can utilize online shopping as a new lifestyle due to its benefits. 6. Based on the text, which of the following statements is the reason why people choose online shopping? a.

Clean water, which is produced by two private operators- PAM Lyonnaise Jaya (Palyja) and Astra Air Jakarta - currently totals 18.7 m3 per second. However, by 2025, demand for clean water will reach 41.3 m3/second as the population of Jakarta is estimated to grow to 14.6 million people from 9.6 million currently (the unofficial figure is possibly much higher). It has been reported that city-owned property developer Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) and city-owned developer Pembangunan Jaya will acquire a combined 100 percent stake in Palyja. If the Jakarta administration has a direct stake in the city water operators, it will increase public supervision on the local clean water industry. PAM Lyonnase Jaya, which manages the clean water supply in the west side of Jakarta, is a private water operator that is partly controlled by Astra International through its subsidiary Astratel Nusantara. Palyja has been active in Jakarta for about 16 years. However, last year, a lawsuit was filled demanding that the court will annual the agreement between city water operator pam Jaya and Palyja and Aetra Air Jakarta (Aetra) claiming that public access to affordable clean water has been hindered. Based on the information from the World Bank, Indonesia plans to achieve universal clean water access by 2019 but almost half of the population still do not have access to clean water at present.

In Indonesia, agriculture should be the priority of development because of some good reasons. First of all, the agriculture’s contribution in the beginning of the development of the country was the highest of all sectors. At present, almost half of the total Indonesian labors are working in the agriculture sector, but the contribution of the agriculture sector does not reach 30 percent. Second, the agriculture sector is expected to fulfil the need of food in the country. As the number of population increases in an alarming rate each year, food supply must also increase, but the agriculture production per capita never increases more than one percent each year and in some extreme cases, it is even stagnant. Last but not least, without agricultural development, the growth of the industrial sector will be hampered because the growth that comes from industry will bring a wider gap into the internal economy in that country. In turn, this gap will create serious poverty problems, wider inequality of income distribution and increase unemployment. 21. What does the text mainly talk about? a.

As our skin dries, it loses flexibility and the pressure of everyday use causes it to crack. These cracks can be painful but they’re also a giant beacon for infections. It’s important to treat cracked skin before you end up with a much more serious health problem. The first thing to do to treat your cracked skin is start checking for signs of infection.



Secondly, soak your skin with a disinfectant. Start treatment of basic cracks by soaking your skin. Disinfectant will help cut down on chances for the cracks to become infected. Thirdly, gently exfoliate. Using a clean washcloth, gently rub the affected area. This will remove dead skin cells and allows the products you’ll place on your skin to absorb better. Next, give your skin a final rinse and then apply a layer of moisturizer. After that, if you have time, such as if you can treat your skin overnight or on a weekend, wet dressings may help heal the skin and can at least provide you with greater comfort.
