    Exercise of Hortatory Text – 2

    Part A: Read the following text. Then, match each problem with each solution.

    The number of damaged roads connecting Jakarta with West Java has certainly
    given cause for complaints from local road users. Take, for example, the roads in
    Bekasi, which have often bee the focus of the media.
    The poor condition of these roads not only jeopardies road safety, but is also an
    eyesore and puts a squalid stamp on surroundings.
    The situation gets worse when it rains. The roads are transformed into puddles
    which may cause accidents if motorists are not careful.
    It would be best to examine why those roads are in such a poor condition and
    why repairs do not seem to last long.

    PROBLEM ANSWER* SOLUTION


    1. The local government does not pay A. The road should be repaired using
    attention to the damaged roads. … good quality asphalt, the right sort
    of stones, and sand.
    2. The roads are not repaired using B. The repairs should be done
    good quality asphalt, stones, and … carefully to prevent constant
    sand. damage
    3. The repairs are not done carefully. C. The local government should pay
    … special attention to the damaged
    roads
    *put A, B or C in the column named ANSWER

    Part B: Make a recommendation to complete the text below by listing the problem and
    solution in the table provided. After listing down the problem and solution on the
    table. Write down the solution as a form of recommendation in the black spaces at the
    end of the text.

    After a long stressful day at the office, Jakarta citizens still have to face traffic jams
    when they are going home, for no apparent reasons.
    One can witness how traffic jams have affected not only conventional roads but
    also the toll roads so that road users have to queue up before they enter freeways.
    From my observation, this congestion is the result of the presence of too many
    private cars and the operation of public transport vehicles that are no longer
    roadworthy.
