Read the text carefully to answer the questions from 1 to 4
The growth of industry during the 1800s gave an influence on agriculture revolution.
Inventors found ways to make machine do farm work. There are machines that plough the
land and the others destroy weeds, pick up the crop and so on.
Before the invention of the tractor, farm machines were almost run by animals. Farm
tractors are far more efficient and powerful than animals. They do not require as much care
as animals. Besides, tractors can work all day without a rest.
The farm tractor is the most useful single piece of farm equipment. It can pull
ploughs, seeders, cultivators, and many other kinds farm machines.

When ancient people went from one place to another, they walked. When they had a
heavy load to move, they carried it. Then people learned to train animals to carry packs. The
oxen, the donkey and the camel were trained to be the beast of burden in the middle East. In
the Arctic, the dog and the reindeer were used. In India, humped cattle and elephants were
the burden carriers. The horse, a common transport animal today, was one of the last
animals to be trained.
Nowadays, wheeled vehicles for land transportation such as buses, trucks, cars, and
motorcycles are generally used. People can also go from one place to another by train. The
railway carriages are pulled by a diesel locomotive or high-speed electric locomotive. In early
19th century. the carriages were pulled by a steam locomotive.
People who want to travel may choose to go by train or by bus. They may prefer the
first-class compartments to the third-class ones because of the services. The first-class
passengers are served better than the third-class passengers. The facilities provided are also
different. Air conditioners are equipped in the first-class compartments but not in the third
class. For the better services they get, they have to pay the fare higher of course.
In big cities, city buses become people’s choice. Not all buses put the same fare into
effect. Distance does not a matter, but services provided are considered to determine it. The
better services given, the more the fare has to be paid. For example, BUSWAY as inner city
bus that serves a route from Blok M to Kota put the tariff higher than other inner city buses
because of its punctuality and comfortable shelters for passengers.
11. “Not all buses put the same fare into effect. Distance does not a matter, but services provided are

When foreigners think about Miami, Florida, they usually think of The United States.
As we know, Miami is not in our beloved country. It is far away from Jakarta. Let us take an
imaginary trip to Miami, Florida, in the United States.
The gateway to the United States for most Americans who travel by plane is Miami.
This city is beautiful, situated on the southeastern coast of the state of Florida. Miami itself is
not on the ocean, but on a large bay called Biscayne Bay. Its wide streets are lined with
palms, and its white cements houses are covered with bougainvillea. Across the bay is its
neighbour, Miami Beach, which can be reached by road over a long causeway.

Dear Kenzi,
Thank you for your second letter. It is very interesting to read about the
farming tools used by the farmers in your village.
Now I would like to tell you about the tools that the farmers in my area
use. Most farmers here use tractors till and loosen the soil. They help us do the
tilling work quickly. To make holes in the ground we also use a machine called a
seed drill. It is also used to drop seeds into the holes and their fertilizer. For
larger rice fields we plant seeds by airplane. We also use the airplane to spray
chemicals on to the rice fields. When harvesting period comes, we use a
combine. It can cut the rice and separate the rice kernels from the stalks. This
machine can harvest more grain than 200 people working by hand.
Well, that is all for now. I am looking forward to receiving your other letters.
Sincerely,

In 1956, a Brazilian scientist imported some special bees into Brazil from Africa. The
African bees were the same size as ordinary bees, but they were much stronger and
dangerous. A sting from one of these bees can kill a man or even a buffalo very quickly.
The scientist imported the bees because he wanted to breed a new type of bees,
using the African bees and ordinary European bees. He wanted to combine the strength of
the African bees with the safety of the European bees. Unfortunately, in 1957, 26 queen bees
escaped and began to breed in the jungles of Brazil. They spread very quickly. And since that
time they have been moving slowly northwards, covering 300 to 400 kilometers a year. Over
200 people have died after being stung by the killer bees, and thousands of animals have
also died. By March 1978, the killer bees had reached Venezuela and in1980 they arrived in
Panama.
The scientists from many different countries had tried hard to find ways of stopping them.
If they couldn’t be stopped, the Americans and Asians, like the Brazilians, they would have to
learn how to live with the new and dangerous visitors.

Ahmad is a beekeeper. He learned about bee keeping from his father. He earns
money from his bees. His bees produce honey. Everyday people come to his apiary. He
shows them the beehives and lets them taste the honey. Then, they buy it from him.
How do bees produce honey? First, a bee takes nectar from a flower. The bee carries
it to its hive. In the hive, the nectar is given to worker bees. Then, the worker bees put it into
a cell of the honeycomb. The worker bees fan the nectar with their wings and the breeze will
ripen the nectar. When the nectar has ripened, it turns into honey. Finally, the bees cover
each cell with wax until it is ready to use. The bees only eat half of the honey they make.
Ahmad collects the leftovers.

Computers are machines that handle information automatically. They can perform calculation and process data.
Computers can work with numbers to solve the problems in a few second. Computers are widely used in places
such as banks, offices, and companies. Computers work like calculators, but most calculators can do only one thing
at a time. We tell them what to do by pressing various buttons. To do the same work, we can give a series of
instructions to a computer program. If we set up a program, the computer can provide other information such as
lists, numbers, letters, words, or even graphs of pictures. Once we provide a program, the computer can do all these
works automatically without further help or instruction.
A computer stores and handles numbers. The numbers may be mathematical formulas or column of
figures. The numbers may also be codes that stand for letters of the alphabet, word, or instructions to the
computer.

The zombie's fate is even worse than that of a vampire or werewolf. The vampire returns to his loved
ones. He may be recognized. The werewolf may be wounded and regain human form. But the zombie is
a mindless automaton (robot), doomed to live out a twilight existence of brutish toil (animal-like labor). A
zombie can eat, move, hear, even speak, but he has no memory of his past or knowledge of his present
condition. He may pass by his own home or gaze into the eyes of his loved ones without a glimmer of
recognition.
Neither ghost nor person, the zombie is said to be trapped, possibly forever, in that "misty zone that
divides life from death". The vampire is the living dead, the zombie is merely the walking dead - a body
without soul or mind raised from the grave and given an appearance of life through sorcery. He is the
creature of the sorcerer, who uses him as a slave.
From 'The Book of Great Mysteries (compilation of fictions)' edited by Colin Wilson and Christopher
Evans

There are many criteria of an ideal English teacher. In my opinion, an ideal English teacher is a teacher who has capability,
responsibility, and good personality.
By his or her capability, he or she will be able to transfer the knowledge successfully. The capability involves
capability of delivering knowledge, pronouncing well, transferring original English culture, and making good relationship with the
students.
He/she also has to have responsibility, especially to be responsible for the truth or accuracy of knowledge and information
related to English. It won't make the students get misinformation, such as in pronunciation, structure and the English culture.
He or she should also be responsible in giving score.
The third criterion of an ideal teacher is he or she should have good personality. By his or her good personality,
he or she will be a model for his or her students. He or she must be able to perform his or her role as the facilitator in learning
process. If he or she can do them well, he or she will be respected by his or her students for not only his or her expertise
but also his or her good manner or personality.
The three criterions must be owned by an English teacher who wants to be an ideal teacher.
