Set Fire to The Rain

I let it fall, my heart

And as it fell, you rose to claim it

It was dark and I was over

Until you kissed my lips and you saved me

My hands, they were strong, but my knees were far too weak

To stand in your arms without falling to your feet

But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew

All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true

And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win

But I set re to the rain

Watched it pour as I touched your face

Well, it burned while I cried

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

When laying with you I could stay there

Close my eyes, feel you here forever

You and me together, nothing is better

'Cause there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew

All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true

And the games you's play, you would always win, always win

But I set re to the rain

Watched it pour as I touched your face

Well, it burned while I cried

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

I set re to the rain

And I threw us into the ames

Well, I felt something die

'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time

Sometimes I wake up by the door

And heard you calling, must be waiting for you

Even that when we're already over

I can't help myself from looking for you

I set re to the rain

Watched it pour as I touch your face

Well, it burned while I cried

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

I set re to the rain

And I threw us into the ames

Well, I felt something die

'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh

Oh, no

Let it burn, oh

Let it burn

Let it burn.

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

Social media is a new phenomenon which has rst been open to the masses since the launch of platforms like XING and Myspace in the early 2000s. Since then, social networks offered a
playground for billions of people to share, exchange and discuss content and ideas. As the big players in the IT scene manage to set foot in even more remote regions of our earth, they accelerate
our world’s development to a global village by bringing access to social networks. Currently there are more than an estimated 2.62 billion people connected via different social networks, by
2021 the number will rise to over 3 billion, resembling over one third of the global population.

Too big a risk
Reports about the easing of restrictions in other countries are ever so tempting. Even in China where a second wave of COVID-19 infections is not ruled out, kindergartens have opened; likewise,
classes have started in Japan and Denmark with school staff taking temperatures at the door and with desks set further apart than usual.

In Australia, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced Friday a three-step plan for restarting economic and social life with July set as the nal “aspirational” target. In the rst phase to start
“soon”, weddings can have a maximum of 10 guests, cafes and restaurants can have up to 10 patrons with at least 4 square meters of space per person; but international travel is unlikely to
resume in the near future.

Last Friday Malaysia announced most businesses would be allowed to resume operations and childcare centres would open. However, parents remain fearful about taking chances. Therefore,
governments are assessing their own societies on when and how to go about relaxing restrictions.

In Indonesia as millions become deeply fearful about how to feed their families in the coming weeks, hopes are high that the economy can slowly resume. But however closely we may try to
imitate the disciplined measures in the above countries, there are already too many holes in the enforcement of the large-scale social restrictions (PSBB).

The national COVID-19 taskforce chief Doni Monardo said Wednesday that essential travel was now allowed, such as for medical personnel but he also described the presence of a military
of cer’s wife at his handover ceremony as “important”. So, what other interpretations could there be of what is “essential”?

Adapted fromhttps://www.thejakartapost.com/academia/2020/05/09/too- big-a-risk.html

The world is affected by the burden of virus 19 in many sectors, one of them is economy. Not only Indonesia is worried by the decrease of the economy situation but also other countries, such as
Malaysia and Australia, have tried to recover economy crisis by running and opening some more businesses.

  Princess Mandalika (The Story of Bau Nyale)

( Folklore from West Nusa Tenggara)

ONCE upon a time, there was a kingdom in Lombok. The king had a very beautiful daughter. Her name was Princess Mandalika. She was very beautiful; many young princes fell in love with her
and wanted to marry her. Princess Mandalika was a kind girl. She hated to make people sad. When those princes came to propose her, she was very confused.

The king then held a competition at Seger Kuta beach, Lombok. He asked the princes to take part in an archery competition. The rule was simple: whoever shot the target perfectly, he could be
the husband Princess Mandalika.

The princes tried their best and they were great at archery. So, there was no a winner. Then they claimed to be the best and started ghting. Soon, the ghting was like a war, because the
princes brought their soldiers in the archery competition. Princess Mandalika was really worried. She did not want the war to hurt many people. Then, she got an idea.  "I can't be all your wives. I
don't want you to ght because of me. I want you all to have me, but not as your wives. I want to be someone that everybody can have. I want to be useful for you," said Princess Mandalika. The
king and other people on the beach did not understand what she meant. Suddenly, Princess Mandalika jumped to the sea. She was disappeared in the big chaos waves. People were screaming.
The princes tried to swim to nd her. But no one dared to jump in the sea because the waves were too high.

After several hours trying to search the princess, suddenly they found a lot of sea worms on the beach. The king then realized that his daughter had returned as sea worms. Later he named the
worms as nyale.

Because of their colorful and unique display, rainbows have generated countless legends and myths throughout history. Among the most popular is the Irish folklore that Leprechauns store their
pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. But the truth is, rainbows can be seen only if you are in the right place at the right time.
Rainbows can be seen when light passes through raindrops, says Kristin Calhoun, a research scientist at the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the scienti c agency
focusing in part on the conditions of weather.

When a person sees a rainbow, it’s really an optical illusion created by the refraction and re ection of light. An optical illusion is when you see something that appears to be something other
than what is really there. They’re not located at a speci c distance. The location is relative to the person.

When sunlight passes through raindrops, the light bends, or refracts, as it enters the droplet, and then re ects off the inside of the raindrop. This happens because the water is denser than the
air that surrounds it. As it exits the droplet, the light separates into wavelengths. Visible light is made up of various wavelengths, and each wavelength appears as a different color: red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Red light, for example, bends at a different angle than violet light.

This is why “the person on the ground sees each color at a different location and why rainbows look like a bow or an arc. Sometimes, however, rainbows can actually form an entire circle that you
can see in a plane with the right conditions.

Because rainbows are created by light via raindrops, the best time to catch a rainbow is when it’s sunny and raining. There is an even better chance when the sun is at a lower angle, so early or
later in the day. If you’re trying to spot one, the key is to face the rain and have your back to the sun.

Adapted from https://unfoldanswers.com/how-does-the-rainbow-occur/

 Based on paragraph 4, statement "Each color in rainbow bends at a similar angle", is included TRUE or FALSE?

said by the king. Nevertheless, Patih Sidopekso more believed to the king than his wife. And then dragged her to the edge of a muddy river. He was so angry there and wanted to kill his wife.
Because her husband did not trust her anymore, Sri Tanjung asked for a last request to him. She said that if he did not trust her any more, he might kill her and threw her body into the river. Sri
Tanjung also said that when the water turned to be clean it meant she was right. Nevertheless, if it did not change, the king was right.

Patih Sidopekso couldn’t stand his anger any longer and then he stabbed his wife with a knife. Then he threw his wife’s body into the river. Immediately the turbid river turned into clean and
diffused the fragrance. Seeing the incident, Patih Sidopekso regretted what he had done. He realized that his wife was innocent. Then he screamed loudly “Banyu …………… ….. …Wangi. Banyu
Wangi ….. “Since the incident happened, the river was called Banyuwangi.

How do you study when the test is coming? Do you start preparing for the test weeks or months before the test or leave things to the last hour? If you start studying weeks or months before the
test, it is great. However, if you study all the material in the last hour or minute, it is not good for you. This is called cramming.

Cramming is when students stay up all night until morning to study before a test or nish an assignment. This habit can lead to negative impacts, the rst being that disruptions in the regular
sleep cycle can cause temporary intellectual lapses. For most students, less sleep can make them could not focus on the class. Additionally, cramming can leave us with memory lapses as well.

Each person has a different sleeping schedule, so some of them often use a stimulant for cramming. An example stimulant, and the most common, is coffee. While delicious and bene cial, it
causes many problems in the long-term such as Caffeine Intoxication Syndrome, anxiety, panic, and headaches.

To sum up, cramming is not recommended because it disturbs a person’s sleep cycle which causes temporary intellectual lapses, and using stimulants for cramming gives them a bad effect on
their health.

Based on the text, please decide whether these statements are true or false

A. Consuming caffeine in a controlled amount will help us to avoid cramming.

B. Over time, cramming can result to death if its not treated well 

C. Not to be someone who postpone things we should do will help us to avoid cramming.

Culture shock is the feeling of disorientation experienced by someone when they are suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture and way of life. It can be caused by a range of things such as
unfamiliar greetings, hand gestures, food. This unfamiliarity can lead to symptoms such as confusion, anxiety, frustration, loneliness, and homesickness. It can even lead to physical symptoms
such as insomnia, or colds and stomach bugs due to unfamiliar foods and bacteria.  There are four different culture shock stages to the process – honeymoon, negotiation, adjustment and
adaptation. Read on to nd out more about each stage.

The Honeymoon Stage is the rst stage of culture shock, and it can often last for several weeks or even months. This is the euphoric phase when you’re fascinated by all the exciting and different
aspects of your new life – from the sights and smells to the pace of life and cultural habits. During this phase, you’re quick to identify similarities between the new culture and your own, and you
nd the locals hospitable and friendly. You may even nd things that would be a nuisance back home, such as a traf c jam, amusing and charming in your new location.

Next is the negotiation stage which is characterized by frustration and anxiety. This usually hits around the three-month mark, although it can be earlier for some individuals. As the excitement
gradually disappears you are continually faced with dif culties or uncomfortable situations that may offend or make you feel disconnected.  Maybe you can’t remember the way back to your new
home because the street signs are confusing, or you can’t fathom how and what to order in a restaurant. At this point, you also start to miss your friends and family back home.
Around 6 months, you will reach adjustment stage. This is the stage where life gradually starts to get better and routine sets in. You begin to become more familiar with the local way of life, food
and customs. By this point you may have made a few friends or learnt some of the languages, helping you to adjust and better understand the local culture.

Finally, you reach the adaptation stage; sometimes know as the bicultural stage. You now feel comfortable in your new country and better integrated – you have successfully adapted to your new
way of life. You no longer feel isolated and lonely and are used to your new daily activities and friends. When coming back to your place, you may experience re-entry shock.

Adapted from https://www.now-health.com/en/blog/culture-shock-stages/ 

What can we infer from the text?

A. Honeymoon stage is when someone feels happy moving to new places.

B. Adaptation stage is when someone wants to go back to his/ her origin.

C. Culture shock happens because of confusion, anxiety, and loneliness.

D. Negotiation stages may come around 6 months after moving to new places.

E. Adjustment stage means that someone has already felt bicultural.

Castle on the Hill

When I was six years old I broke my leg

I was running from my brother and his friends

And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down

I was younger then, take me back to when I

Found my heart and broke it here

Made friends and lost them through the years

And I've not seen the roaring elds in so long, I know I've grown

But I can't wait to go home

I'm on my way

Driving at ninety down those country lanes

Singing to ""Tiny Dancer""

And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real

We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes

Running from the law through the back elds and getting drunk with my friends

Had my rst kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did it right

But I was younger then, take me back to when

We found weekend jobs, when we got paid

We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight

Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we've grown

But I can't wait to go home

I'm on my way

Driving at ninety down those country lanes

Singing to ""Tiny Dancer""

And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real

We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

Over the castle on the hill

Over the castle on the hill

One friend left to sell clothes

One works down by the coast

One had two kids but lives alone

One's brother overdosed

One's already on his second wife

One's just barely getting by

But these people raised me and I can't wait to go home

And I'm on my way, I still remember

This old country lanes

When we did not know the answers

And I miss the way you make me feel, it's real

We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

cannons made with the latest technology at that time. Sultan Mehmed II or commonly known as Muhammad Al Fatih has many good reasons to conquer Constantinople. The following is the
background of the conquest of Constantinople, namely: The Ottoman dynasty wanted to control international trade activities in the Constantinople area, Muhammad Al Fatih wanted to
overthrow the domination of Byzantium by East Rome in the Middle East, Af rming the power of Islamic in uence in the international world. The Battle of Constantinople 1453 took place on
land, sea and underground.  The peak moment of the conquest of Constantinople occurred when Al-Fatih decided to move the Ottoman warships overland to avoid the underwater chains
installed by Roman Byzantium. In just one night, about 70 ships were able to enter the area of the Golden Horn strait and carry out a total attack on the heart of the defense of Constantinople.
On May 29, 1453, Al-Fatih with the Ottoman troops were able to conquer Constantinople as a whole.

Oniomania (compulsive shopping, or what's more commonly referred to as shopping addiction) is perhaps the most socially acceptable addiction. Think about it. We are surrounded by
advertising that tells us that buying will make us happy. We are encouraged by politicians to spend as a way of boosting the economy. And, for some of us, there is an allure of wanting what
everyone else seems to have. Consumerism, by our own intentions or not (or some combination), has become a measure of social worth.

Shopping addiction is a behavioral addiction that involves compulsive buying as a way to feel good and avoid negative feelings, such as anxiety and depression. Like other behavioral addictions,
shopping addiction can take over as a preoccupation that leads to problems in other areas of your life. Usually beginning in one's late teens and early adulthood, shopping addiction often co-
occurs with other disorders, including mood and anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, eating disorders, other impulse control disorders, and personality disorders.

So, what is the difference between normal shopping, occasional splurges, and shopping addiction? As with all addictions, what sets shopping addiction apart from other types of shopping is that
the behavior becomes the person’s main way of coping with stress, to the point where they continue to shop excessively even when it is clearly having a negative impact on other areas of their
life.

As with other addictions, money problems can develop and relationships can become damaged, yet people with shopping addiction (sometimes called "shopaholics") feel unable to stop or even
control their spending. People with shopping addiction tend to be more materialistic than other shoppers and try to prop themselves up by seeking status through material objects and seeking
approval from others. They engage in fantasy more than other people, and—as with other people with addictions—have a hard time resisting their impulses.

As a result, they are more susceptible to marketing and advertising messages that surround us on a daily basis.

Company (VOC) which broke out in that year. The original fort, Jum Pandan (allegedly named after the pandanus trees growing in the vicinity), gave its name to the city Ujung Pandang, another
name for the city of Makassar.

The stone for the construction of the fort was taken from the karst mountains in Maros, the limestone from Selayar and the timber from Tanete and Bantaeng. Following the Java War of 1825–
1830, Javanese prince, and now national hero, Diponegoro was imprisoned in the fort following his exile to Makassar in 1830 until his death in 1855. It was also used as a Japanese prisoner of
war camp in World War II.

A ood is an over ow of water that submerges land that is usually dry. In the sense of " owing water", the word may also be applied to the in ow of the tide. Floods are an area of study of the
discipline hydrology and are of signi cant concern in agriculture, civil engineering and public health. Human changes to the environment often increase the intensity and frequency of ooding, for
example land use changes such as deforestation and removal of wetlands, changes in waterway course such as with levees, and larger environmental issues such as climate change and sea
level rise. There are many different ways oods can occur, these can be put into 3 different groups. They are ash oods, storm surges, and dam failures.

Flash oods happen very fast and with little or no warning. This type of ood is more dangerous and deadly due to the fact that the water rises very quickly and there’s usually a high ow
pushing many things with it. Causes for this are heavy rainfall intensi cation and the vegetation and the physical features of the area. Urban areas are most effected with ash oods due to the
fact that they do not have as much natural drainage and because of the high amounts of impermeable surfaces. Flash oods happens many times in a river because water can ow downhill onto
the river and over ll it, making it ood.

Storm surges is the rising of sea levels, this happens because of high winds and with pressure changes and sometimes high tides. They happen because the friction between the air and the
water creates a drag. Extreme low-pressure systems and also tropical cyclones can create storm surges.

Dams are made to stop water from over owing in an area. But sometimes the dam is built and unpredictably the water is surpassing the maximum the dam can hold, this releases a sudden burst
of water which can cause ash oods and destroy many things because of how powerful the water is after the sudden burst and that it may ow downstream to a town.

Momotaro, the Peach Boy
Once upon a time there lived an old man an old woman in the country of Okayama. The old man went everyday into the mountains to cut wood, while his wife would go to the river to wash
clothes.

One day, while the old woman was down at the river washing clothes, a big peach came oating down the river! It looked so delicious; she decided to take it home for her and her husband to eat.
When the old man came back to their home, the old woman cut the peach open, and to their surprise, there was a small boy inside! They decided to call him Momotaro, which means ‘peach boy’.

The old couple raised Momotaro to be big and strong. One day, he decided to go and defeat the ogres living on Ogre Island that were pillaging the land. The old woman xed him some delicious
millet dumplings, known as kibi-dango, for his long journey to the island. On the way, a monkey, a dog, and a pheasant joined him, giving them a dumpling each in return for their help in ghting
the ogres.

Upon reaching the Ogre Island, Momotaro and his companions found that the gate was locked to the Ogre’s fort. The pheasant ew inside, and grabbed a key to let the others in. Once inside,
they fought the evil ogres. The pheasant pecked their eyes, the dog bit their legs and the monkey jumped on their backs, clawing at the beasts. Finally, the ogres cried for mercy! They gave the
strong Momotaro all of their treasure, and he returned to his village triumphantly. Momotaro and the old couple lived happily ever after.

Consumer Behavior: How People Make Buying Decisions
 

Consumer behaviour is the study of knowing how individual customers, groups or organisations select, buy, use and dispose of ideas, goods and services to satisfy their needs and desires. It
refers to the actions of the consumers in the marketplace and the underlying motives for those actions. Let’s take a look at the stages of the consumer buying journey.

Often the rst step of the buying journey involves identifying a problem or a need. Sometimes, your customers need might be as simple as wanting to be an early adopter, someone who enjoys
being ‘ rst’ to have or use a particular product.

The next step is searching for a solution on how to solve the problem. Let’s take that new mobile phone you are thinking of buying. If your old phone has broken down, you can either research
repair shops or you can start looking at new models. Consumers conduct searches internally or externally. An internal search means that the consumer falls back on their personal experiences
(I’m an Apple fan) while external search relies on anecdotes from friends and family and probably the internet (your mum tells you to buy an android because they are better).

The third step in the consumer buying journey is all about comparing different brands and products, evaluating alternatives. After researching a product and building knowledge your customer
may decide to research alternative products available in the market. 

Then comes “the actual purchase decision”.  At this stage, the buyer has nished evaluating the alternatives and is ready to make a decision. This is the magical moment of truth when the
consumer selects a brand to purchase. In the evaluation phase, purchase intentions are developed after the buyer ranks the brand according to all options available to them.

(Adapted from: https://rebelconnect.com.au/marketing/consumer-buying-behaviour/ , retrieved on Dec 19th, 2020)

Based on the above text, write the truth value (true/false) on each of the following statements.

A. After evaluating a product, costumer decides a  product to purchase.

B. Need recognition is the very rst step in the consumer buying journey.

C. Customer decides to buy a product without comparing different brands.

The Legend of the Three Sisters

Long, long ago, the mystical land of Gondwana was beautiful, peaceful and untouched. In Gondwana, there lived Tyawan, a Clever Man of the Gundungurra people. He had three daughters
called Meenhi, Wimlah and Gunnedoo, whom he treasured above all else.

In a deep hole in the valley there lived a Bunyip, a huge evil creature who loved to feast on human esh, particularly that of young girls and women. Its cry was harsh and horrible as if the only
safe thing to do was running away as quickly as possible. Everyone feared the Bunyip.

As everyone needed to pass its hole, it was important to creep very quietly so that it was not disturbed.

When Tyawan had to pass the hole, he would leave his daughters safely on the cliff above behind a rocky wall – just in case!

One day, waving goodbye to his daughters, he descended the cliff steps down towards the path near the Bunyip’s hole. While the girls were waiting and chatting on top of the cliff, a huge
centipede suddenly appeared. Startled, Meenhi screamed, jumped up, picked up a stone and threw it at the centipede.

The stone missed the centipede, but rolled over the edge of the cliff and, picking up speed, crashed into the valley below. The sound echoed all around the mountains. Birds, animals and even
fairies stopped still as the rocks behind the three sisters, shook and split open, leaving them perched together on a thin ledge.

The Bunyip, angry at being awakened, roared and dragged himself through the split to see the terri ed sisters cowering on the ledge. His evil eyes widened in delight at the feast before him.

Tyawan looked up and saw the Bunyip reaching for his daughters, so he pointed his magic bone at the girls and immediately turned them to stone. They would be safe there until the Bunyip had
gone and then Tyawan would change them back to their former selves.

But the Bunyip, angered at being deprived of his prey, chased Tyawan through the forest and up a mountain where he found himself trapped. So Tyawan used his magic bone again and changed
himself into a Lyre Bird and glided away. Everyone was safe. But then, in dismay, Tyawan realised that he had dropped his bone whilst changing.

After the Bunyip had gone back to his deep dark pool, Tyawan glided down to the forest oor and searched and searched for his magic bone ... where he can still be seen to this day, in the shape
of the Lyre bird, scratching and searching the forest oors of the Blue Mountains, looking for his bone, calling to his daughters above and feeding on insects whilst he searches.

The Three Sisters stand silently watching him from their ledge, hoping and hoping that one day their father will nd his magic bone and be able turn them back to Aboriginal girls.

Butter y Lovers 

(From China)

Long time ago in China, girls were expected to stay at home and learnt household work while the boys went to school,  but a girl named Zhu conceived a desire to study but her father did not
want to ght against tradition. He was con dent that no school would admit a girl even Zhu’s family was wealthy.

Zhu disguised herself as a boy and managed to get a school in the city of Hangzhou, where her aunt lived. 

There was a boy named Liang in her class. The two became good friends. As the years passed they became inseparable companions.  Zhu realized that she was in love. She wanted to stay with
Liang the rest of her life.

After nishing school, Liang lost no time in taking up a job, and when he had saved enough to get married he hastened to Zhu’s house. Zhu saw him coming, and was overjoyed.  “I’m your friend,
as you can see I’m a girl. Unable to restrain herself she rushed out, I cannot live without you!"

Liang was dazed but it soon recovered and caught Zhu in a warm embrace. Zhu took him to her father who listened attentively to what Liang had to say, but when the young man asked for Zhu’s
hand, he shook his head. He told Liang that Zhu had already been promised to another man, a wealthy merchant. Nothing that Liang said could make Zhu’s father change his mind. Liang left,
shattered. On the way, he collapsed and died.

When Zhu learnt of Liang’s death, she lost all desire to continue living. She pretended to agree to the marriage arranged for her on one condition that the wedding procession passed by Liang’s
grave. As the wedding procession near, Zhu jumped down from her palanquin and rushing to Liang’s grave threw herself on it, sobbing uncontrollably. Zhu leapt into it. When Zhu’s relatives
reached the grave and peered into it, all they saw at rst was an empty cof n. Then out ew two butter ies, dancing as if they could not believe they were together.

In 1914, Europe was a tinderbox of tension and military rivalry. The spark for war could have been many incidents; but, as it happened the assassination of an Austrian Archduke – Franz
Ferdinand by a Serb provoked widespread declarations of war and the ful lment of treaties which led to the horrendous con ict of the First World War.

The war was to last four years and cost the lives of millions of men and women from all corners of the world. The First World War also led to profound social change. After the First World War,
there was increased recognition for the role of women in society, with many countries giving women the vote. There was also greater emphasis placed on the role of the working class, who had
fought and died in the war, and now wanted a better peace. In 1918/19 there was global u pandemic which killed nearly 50 million people (many young adults) but such was the carnage of the
First World War, it had only a limited effect on changing the world as many governments downplayed its impact.

Since the publication of Marx’s  Communist Manifesto, there had been sporadic Communist revolutions in European countries, but nothing had really succeeded. But in October 1917, the
Bolshevik revolution, led by Lenin, brought about a radical new form of government with worldwide implications. Lenin was a fervent Marxist and wasted little time in implementing his version
of a ‘dictatorship of the Proletariat’.

Communist Russia divided the world. It was seen by some as an alternative to the inequities of Capitalism and by others as an embodiment of totalitarianism and lack of freedom. The Soviet
Union transformed the lives of Russian people – it led to economic growth, but also increased political repression. The ideology of the Soviet Union also led to a prolonged ‘Cold War’ – with an
ideological divide between western democracy and Soviet Communism.

Carved into a canyon in Arabah, Jordan, Petra was made famous by the third  Indiana Jones  lm when he went to nd the Holy Grail. The site was “discovered” in 1812 by a Swiss explorer who
followed some local tribesmen there; prior to that, it had been forgotten to the Western world. Though its founding is unknown, it appears this place had settlers as early as the 6th century BC.
Under Roman rule, the site declined rapidly and was abandoned by the late 4th century. In 1985, Petra became a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was recently named one of the New Seven

Is Social Media bad for Teenagers?

Social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok and many others have become nearly inescapable facets of modern life, particularly for teenagers. Social media is becoming more than
just a part of their world, but it’s becoming their world. Teenagers are spending more time online, usually on a social media platform like Facebook or Twitter. Most teenagers have smart phones
where they are on social media networks all throughout the day now. They are constantly texting, tweeting, and posting pictures via Snapchat and Instagram. However, hyper-connected to
social media could be bad for them.

Using social media too much is not good for teenagers because social media in this era has become a place to bully someone. Now, bullying has moved, not only in the schools or in the other
places but also in online social media as an online bullying place. If teenagers are getting bullied, they cannot get away from it. The people will continue to bully them back via social media.

Today, teenagers use social media as their life online from the time they wake up until they back to sleep via their smart phone. A new study has found that teenagers who engage with social
media during the night could disturb their sleep and increase the risk of anxiety and depression. Teenagers are so enthusiastic in using social media. They will wake up at night and log in their
social media, just to make sure that they don’t miss out any text or post.

Another impact of social media for teenagers is, teenagers are being more comfortable doing online than doing something physically. A separate study by the National Citizen Service found that,
rather than talking to their parents, girls are more comfort on social media when they are worried. The survey also has notion that girls are more often stress than boys – an average of twice a
week.

Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and many others are basically created to connect everyone around the world, so they can interact and communicate each other. However, too
much exposure of social media can also be bad especially for teenagers. As it mentioned above, I believe social media could become media for bullying, risk them of anxiety and depression, and
risk their real-life social interaction. Therefore, social media are dangerous for teenagers’ health both mentally and emotionally.

The ancient Olympic Games were primarily a part of a religious festival in honor of Zeus, the father of the Greek gods and goddesses. The festival and the games were held in Olympia, a rural
sanctuary site (model shown here, courtesy of the British Museum) in the western Peloponnesos.

The Greeks that came to the Sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia shared the same religious beliefs and spoke the same language. The athletes were all male citizens of the city-states from every
corner of the Greek world, coming from as far away as Iberia (Spain) in the west and the Black Sea (Turkey) in the east.

The sanctuary was named in antiquity after  Mt. Olympos  the highest mountain in mainland Greece. In Greek mythology, Mt. Olympos was the home of the greatest of the Greek gods and
goddesses.

The ancient Olympic Games began in the year 776 BC, when Koroibos, a cook from the nearby city of Elis, won the stadion race, a foot race 600 feet long. The stadion track at Olympia is shown
here. According to some literary traditions, this was the only athletic event of the games for the rst 13 Olympic festivals or until 724 BC. From 776 BC, the Games were held in Olympia every
four years for almost 12 centuries.

Contrary evidence, both literary and archaeological, suggests that the games may have existed at Olympia much earlier than this date, perhaps as early as the 10th or 9th century BC.

risk their real-life social interaction. Therefore, social media are dangerous for teenagers’ health both mentally and emotionally.
