Dear Tantri,
Nowadays, its difficult to find a true friend like you. I sometimes think I am very
lucky to get you as my friend. Without you, my life would have been very boring.
I still remember the first day of school when we were young. You called
 me and gave me a seat. That moment is not easy to forget. It is the beginning of
our long friendship. You even often shared some of your food when my mother
forgot to give me pocket money. You also lent me a dictionary when I forgot to
bring it. Its almost 15 years we have been shared problems and fun together.
Now, youre not here anymore. I would like to thank you for being there for me
for the ups and downs of my life.

Its time for us to be apart. You have to move to Surabaya. I just want to say that
you are my best friend. It is difficult for me to say goodbye. I dont want you to
leave me but I know that moving to Surabaya is very important for your future. I
only hope that you will get everything that you dream of in your new city. One
thing that I want to tell you, please dont forget me. Keep in touch. Send me an
email and tell your activities there. Dont make the distance break our
relationship.

It is hard for me to stay away from you. I cant wait to meet you soon.

Someone that I admire most is my mother. She is my idol. In my opinion, my

mother is not only beautiful but also kind. In addition, she is a good housewife.
Her beauty comes from her good looking physical appearance. She is average in
height. Her straight, black hair is shiny. Furthermore, the color of her eyes is like honey.

people. For example, whenever there are sick people in our neighborhood, she will give
them a visit. She often gives food and drink to the unfortunate people. She pays the
school fee of some orphans in the surroundings. And something that impresses me
 more is she doesnt like other people to know whenever she does good deed.
In addition, my mother is a good housewife. She takes care of her family well. For

The following text is for questions 23 to 26.

When I was seven years old, I was given a small wallet to keep my pocket money
in. I felt so happy and put it in my hip pocket.
One day, during the break time at school, I discovered that my wallet was
missing. I checked it but I could not find it. There was some money in the wallet and
without it I could not buy anything to eat. I was close to tears. It was not because of
losing my precious wallet but because I might get scolded by my parents. Anyhow I
went hungry that day.
In the class I could not concentrate well to study at all. I kept thinking about how
I lost my wallet and what my parents would react. How was I going to explain the
loss? I did not know whether someone had taken it from my pocket or it had merely
fallen out. I hoped that someone would find and return it to me.
When I told my mother about my loss, she was angry. She told me that it would
not have happend if I had been careful. When my father came home, I got another
anger. Then he told me that there would not be any more wallets for me until I got
older.
Luckily, I still got pocket money from my parents. I am glad to say that I never
lost anything again. I had learned to be more careful. It is not pleasant to lose something
and then get scolded for losing it. (Adapted from www.englishdaily626.com)

Bunaken is one of the very amazing places I have ever visited. It is located in
North Sulawesi. This sea park consists of 5 islands and 2 coastal areas, Bunaken Island,
Manado Tua Island, Siladen Island, Mantehage Island, Nain Island, Molas Coast -
Tiwoho, and Arakan-Wawontulap Coast. Bunaken Island, where once I spent my
holiday, is the most popular. This 8 km wide island is located at the Bay of Manado.
This area represents the tropical ecosystem of Indonesia because it has any kind of
tropical water ecosystems, such as mangroves, seagrasses, seaweeds, and reefs.
I am always amazed with the diversity of rare aquatic organism species in this
place, such as dugong, dolphin, etc. Because of its high biodiversity, Bunaken can
attract many tourists. It has 20 diving spots with the depth varying up to 1344 m. These
spots are the most often visited by the divers and the submarine panorama lovers. I
have tried one of them and I found it really thrilling. Furthermore, there are underwater
great walls or hanging walls of giant corals that stand vertically and curve up in this
area. They become the food source for fishes in the water around the Bunaken Island.
Besides the charming submarine park, the islands in this area present the natural
atmosphere. It is something which makes me enjoy staying. There are many cottages,
resorts, and diving centers that offer accommodation and diving services. Water pool,
hot shower, and restaurants are also provided.

I was 12 years old when my family and I moved to a new neighborhood. I was
starting my 6th grade in a new school, with new people and no friends. I was a quiet
and shy person, so I never hung out with the other neighborhood kids. Before school
had started, I had met a few people who were in the same grade as me. After that initial
meeting, I never saw them again until the first day of school.
For the first day of school, I asked my mom to do my hair that morning so it
would look nice. She did my hair in my regular hairstyle, 5 ponytails with the barrettes
on the end. I arrived to school and went into my new classroom. Everyone stopped
their conversation to turn and look at me. I looked around the classroom and noticed
that all the females either had their hair in one ponytail or had it pressed and curled
into a style. My hair was styled like the 3rd or 4th graders at that school. I was so

you brought me some novels although I knew you didnt like reading such kind of
books. Furthermore, you always helped me with my tasks whenever I found difficulties
in my maths problems. You are very brilliant in maths. I really thank you very much
for all those things you have done to me.

Mr. and Mrs. Brown Bird lived in a jungle in Papua. Mr. Brown always
complained about his feathers. He thought they were ugly. He was jealous with his
friend, Mr. Green Bird. "I want to have beautiful feathers like Mr. Green Bird. His
feathers are not brown like mine. They are very beautiful," said Mr. Brown Bird to his
wife.
"Honey, you have to be grateful with your feathers. With feathers like these,
humans are not interested in us. So, they will not hunt for us," said Mrs. Brown Bird.
Mr. Brown Bird then went to the God of Jungle. "I want to have beautiful feathers like
Mr. Green Bird's feathers, said Mr. Brown Bird. "Don't worry. I can make your wish
come true. Just choose one color." "Hmm I don't know. How about red? Yellow?
Green? I'm confused." The God of Jungle was upset. "Choose now!" Mr. Brown Bird
then looks up to the sky. He had an idea. "Aha! I know which color to choose. I don't
want one color of my feathers. I want many colors. I want my feathers to be colorful
like the rainbow in the sky." Not longer after that, Mr. Brown Bird's feathers were
colorful.
When he went home, his wife did not recognize him. "Honey, it's me. I'm your
husband." "No, my husband is not like you! His feathers are brown!" said Mrs. brown
Bird. Mr. Brown Bird tried very hard to convince his wife that he was really her
husband. "You are very stupid, my husband. With color like these, humans will
 hunt for you. What if they also take our children? Now, please go away! Our lives are
in danger if you are still here," said Mrs. Brown Bird. She was crying. Mr. Brown Bird
was very sad. He thought he just made a very big mistake. He then left his house. His
name then changed into Cendrawasih. It meant a bird of paradise.

The first time I took a ferry was when I took a ferry to cross from Butterworth
to Penang Island. My family and I went to Penang for a holiday.
We arrived at the Ferry Terminal just as the sun was setting. My father paid
the fare at one of the toll-booths and we were brought into a lane. We had to stop
behind a row of cars to wait for the arrival of the next ferry.
Presently a light yellow ferry arrived. Cars and motorcycles sped out of it.
Then, the green light came for us to board. My father carefully drove the car onto the
lower deck of the ferry. It was an exciting new experience for me. I noticed the words
"Pulau Undan" on a wall of the ferry.
As soon as the ferry was filled with cars and motorcycles on the lower deck, it
left the terminal and proceeded towards the island. I stood at the front end of the ferry
and watched the water whirl and twirl as the ferry cut through it. My sister and I
climbed up the stairs to the upper deck. It was filled with passengers who either sat on
the seats there or loitered around the area. Soon the short ride ended. We hurried back
down to the lower deck and got into our car when we saw Penang Island loom closer
and closer.
Finally the ferry docked and my father followed the row of cars out of the ferry.
The car bumped a bit on the uneven ramp but soon we were on Penang itself.
My first experience of taking a ferry was over. (Taken from

There were two brothers who

lived in a village by the sea. The
elder was called Chi Hua and the younger Chi Ming.
When their father died, Chi Hua took all the family property for himself. His
brother had nothing. Chi Ming was poor and worked hard every day to collect firewood
to make a living. One night, he had a dream. In this dream, an old man, the god of
stone, came to him and said I want to help you because you are honest and hard-
working. If you climb to the top of the mountain behind your village, you will find a
stone gate there. Open the gate and go inside. There are many fairies living there. Ask
them for anything you want and they will give it to you. Dont be greedy, however.
Ask for a magic grindstone. Whatever you want, it will make for you.
The next day, Chi Ming climbed the mountain carrying a basket of food with him.
When he arrived at the stone gate, he went inside and found many fairies. Knowing
that they did not have enough food to eat, he gave them the basket of food and they
were very pleased. The fairies gave him the grindstone. Chi Ming thanked them and
carried it away with him. From that day on, everything he wanted was given to him by
the magic grindstone.
Not long afterwards, his elder brother, Chi Hua, heard Chi Mings good fortune.
While Chi Ming was sleeping, he crept into the house and stole the magic grindstone. He
sailed away in a little boat with the magic grindstone. Everyone needs salt.
Ill ask the grindstone to give me as much salt as I want. Ill soon become a rich man,
he said.
He then asked the grindstone for the salt. All right, said the grindstone. It started
grinding away and the boat was soon filled with salt. There was salt everywhere. Chi
Hua was so greedy that he did not want to tell the grindstone to stop. Finally, the boat
sank under the weight of the salt and Chi Hua was drowned.

my visa. I am scheduled to leave in just three days. I am ever so excited, but so sad to
be leaving you. This is actually what Ill tell you, my best friend.

usually played badminton or climbed a mountain together, etc. One thing which is
very important in my life is that you always helped solve my problems. As you

I realized you were very kind when you were always on my side and patiently helped
take care of my father two days before he passed away. You stayed in the hospital
outside the ICCU room in which my father should have a specific treatment. You
brought food and drink, too. And this makes me feel that you are really my best
friend. The friendliness of your sister, Tanti, and your little brother, Fajar, always
makes me remember you and your family. The kindness of your parents makes me
feel as if I were part of your family. And now I have to leave you and our country for
the sake of my future.

I wish you all the best for the future. You already have my email address, and I will
send you my new address and new cell phone number as soon as I have them. Please

The following text is for questions 20 to 22.

Deer have horns, right? But long time ago, deer did not have any horns.
Instead, dogs had horns. How did the deer get the horns? Here is the story.
It was a very hot day. A couple of deer went to a river to drink. They were
 husband and wife. After arriving in the lake, they immediately drank some water.
Suddenly, the wife saw an animal coming. My husband, who is he? Wow! He
is very handsome with his horns, said the female deer. Oh, thats my friend. He is a
dog. By the way, did you say he is more handsome than me? asked the male deer. He
was jealous. Of course not, you are still more handsome than he is. But I have to
admit that his horns are beautiful. If you have those horns, I think you will look very
attractive. Ok, then, I have an idea how to take the horns from the dog. Just wait
here.
Hi, how are you? asked the male deer to the dog. Im just fine, answered the
dog. How about you? Not really good. You see my wife over there? She thinks that
I cannot run fast like other male deer. Do you mind if we have a running race? I really
want to practice, said the male deer. Dont worry, my friend. Lets have the running
race now.
After that, the running match began. The male deer won. Then, he tried to cheer
the dog up. Well, dont be sad. You cannot run fast because you have your horns on
your head. What if you let me wear the horns, asked the male deer. OK, but please
wear the horns carefully. I dont want them to be broken. Dont worry. I will be very
careful, replied the male deer. And then he immediately put the horns on his head.
Wow? My wife is right. I really look great with these horns, said the male deer to
himself. Then, they started the running race again. The male deer ran as fast as he

bang on the back of the car. I felt my body shaking. Soon I realized that I had been

I was so afraid that something terrible happened to my fathers car. I stopped
the car, got out and checked the left side of the car. I found the door damaged due

insurance company. I was unsure so that I called my father. A few minutes later he

Geckos are small to middle size lizards. Lizards are reptiles. There are 1196
different kinds of geckos. They live in many warm countries. Some kinds of geckos
go into people's houses. People are often happy to have them because geckos eat
 many insects.
Unlike most lizards, geckos have voices. A gecko sounds a little like a bird or
a frog. In some languages these lizards have names that sound like their calls, for
example, both English and Indonesian call one kind gecko (gek KO) and tokay (to-
KAY). Another kind of gecko, with a different sound, is called chicak (CHEE chak).
Geckos have no eyelids. Instead, they have a clear membrane (skin) over their
eyes. They lick the membrane clean with their tongues. Like most lizards, they can
regenerate their tail if they need to.
Many kinds of geckos can walk on walls, windows and ceilings. They can do
this because they have special toe pads. A microscope can show that each toe pad is
made of thousands of hair-like structures. Each of these structures branches into many
smaller ends.

Turtles used to live on the land, they say, until the time a clever turtle was caught
by some hunters. They brought him to their village and placed the turtle before the
chief, who said, "How shall we cook him?"

break your shell with sticks," they said. "That'll never work," said the turtle, "Why
don't you throw me in the water and drown me?!" "An excellent idea," said the chief.
They took the turtle to the river and threw him into the water to drown him.
They were congratulating themselves on their success in drowning the turtle,
when two little green eyes poked up in the water and the laughing turtle said, "Don't

That was my first day at senior high school. That was the first flag ceremony in

for the next few days. Some new students came late so that they got a punishment
before they could enter the gate.
After the flag ceremony, I immediately went to the classroom. I felt an awkward
situation in the classroom. I didnt know anyone of them. It seemed that no one was
my junior high schoolmate. I decided to sit in the front row. There was still an empty
seat. Then, someone came and sat beside me. She was Putri. She was more talkative
than me. She helped me to melt the situation. She was very funny, too. I was so happy
to have her as my new classmate.
I was enjoying my conversation with Putri when suddenly my seniors came to the
classroom. They appointed me to come to the front and asked me to introduce myself.
I was shocked. I stood up and started to introduce myself. After I had introduced
