Dear Nan,
How are you? I’m doing well here. Last week I went to Batam Island for business. I’m so sorry could not
come to Jakarta because it was only a short visit. I only stayed for one night. My colleague picked me up at the
airport. Then, we continued our journey to the hotel. It was a very hot day. I remembered that I drank five
cold drinks in one hour. I also visited Nagoya, Batam Center and Galang Island. I didn’t forget to go shopping
there.
O.K. Nan. That’s enough for now. Don’t forget to write me soon.
Love,
Susan
Dear Susan,
It feels like such a long time since the last time I saw you. I know it’s only been several weeks since I saw you.
So far my summer has been great!
I spend all my weekends at the beach. I am getting a nice tan and you can no longer say I am paler than you. I
have been playing lots of volleyball, surfing and building a nice collection of sea shells. Just this past weekend, I
took second place in a sandcastle building contest!
I work on the weekdays. I drive an ice cream truck around and sell ice cream to the kids. It is so cool. It is a
combination of the two things I love most, ice cream and kids. The pay isn’t too great but I love the job so much.
I hope the summer has been going well for you, too. There’s only a month and a half left in summer vacation
and after that back to school. Would you like to meet up some time before school starts?
Your Friend,
John Austin

PT. Dian Taxi
Dear Sir,
I’d like to complain of your service to me as a customer. I think it is very important for your benefit.
Last Friday, November, 27, I took your taxi to go to my relative. I was very disappointed in the driver’s behavior.
He did not use the argometer. He charged me more than the normal fare. When I complained he spoke so rudely
that I felt ashamed. Fortunately, my relative helped me pay the charge.
I hope that this will attract your attention and make sure that it will not happen anymore.
Yours sincerely,
Jack Brown

10. DESCRIPTIVE TEXT (teks yg digunakan untuk menggambarkan tempat, orang, atau benda tertentu. Teks ini
hampir sama dgn teks report. Yg membedakan keduanya : deskriptif focus pd hal tertentu; Sedangkan report focus

Peanuts are important to everyday cooking in most regions of Indonesia. Sometimes the small nuts are balled
in sufficient water to enrich the stock of vegetable soup like the famous tamarind or sour-fruit flavored soap called
Sayur Asam. The still-crunchy texture and the nutty taste make an interesting combination in the vegetables.
Peanuts are also used to make various snacks. Plainly deep-fried with seasoning of some salt, they are mostly
sold in sachets at every small road-side shop, catering to school children and adults alike.
I live in Chinatown area or Pecinan in Semarang. It is a very crowded place. There are many kelenteng (temples)
here. One of them is Tay Kak Sie Temple in Gang Lombok which people visit regularly.
Not far from the temple, there is a popular tourist attraction which can only be found at night, Semawis night
market. The name Semawis is derived from a Javanese term which means everything is available here. Yes, we can really
find many kinds of things here, ranging from specialty foods, to Feng Shui consultation, to karaoke.
However, my favourite place that I always visit when I have a spare time is Pak Suharto’s workshop. The
workshop is next to the Chinatown gate students. In his workshop, he teaches his students to paint using Chinese ink.
The ink is made from pine wood. People come to Pak Suharto’s workshop to order paintings, too. I love watching Pak
Suharto drafting and painting his objects.
EASTER ISLAND
Easter Island is in the South Pacific, 3.700 km from the coast of Chile. On this Island, there are 600 large statues.
We don’t know who built them, but they are probably constructed between 1150 and 1500. We don’t really know
why they are there too.
A Norwegian explorer, Thor Heyerdahl, believed that they were built by people from South America. To prove
this, he made a simple raft and sailed there, all the way from Peru.
Archeologists think that the statues represent dead tribal leaders. We don’t know why the statues were left
alone on the island. Perhaps the builders were killed by a disease or war. Perhaps they used all the natural
resources on the island. There are many unanswered questions about Easter Island.

The earth receives heat from the sun and reflects some of this heat into space. Carbon dioxide and other
gases the air act as a blanket to hold onto some of this reflected heat. As a result, the Earth is warm. This is called
greenhouse effect.
The cutting down of forests and the burning of fuels cause the air to contain more of the gases that cause
greenhouse effect. When this happens, the greenhouse effect increases. There is a rise in temperature all over the
world, which is called global warming.
With the increasing of global warming, the ice in the North Pole will melt. This will cause the sea-levels to
rise. Plants and animals that are unable to adapt to the higher temperature will become extinct.
