Welcome Cell is a leading cellular telecomunication operator, based in Indonesia. Established in
1993, the company provides GSM cellular services nationally through its own nationwide dual
band network and internationally through 341 international roaming partners in 180 countries.
The total number of customer in 2010 was 107.02 million, consisting of 2.19 million post paid
and 104.83 million prepaid customers. Respectively at the end of 2010, the company had
approximately 43% of shares in the total wireless market. The company offers 2 pre-paid cards
(SIMPATIK and Joker card) and the post-paid HOLLA card service.
Question 1.
What can we conclude about Welcome Cell?
A. It's old
B. It's small
C. It's modern
D. It's popular.
Tips: Baca soal dulu. Lihat pilihan jawaban. Cocokkan pilihan jawaban dengan teks yang ada.
Eliminasi jawaban satu per satu. Jika meragukan, biarkan dulu.
Hilangkan option B karena tidak sesuai dengan teks. Melihat sekup Welcome Cell yang
international, dan juga kata "leading" pada kalimat pertama, sudah pasti perusahaan itu tidak
"small".
Hilangkan option C karena tidak ada penyebutan kata "modern" maupun sinonimnya.
Jika dilihat dari option yang tersisa, popular lebih tepat karena tersirat dari number of customer
dan negara yang disebutkan juga banyak. Usianya yang mendekati 20 tahun sepertinya belum
bisa dijadikan patokan bahwa itu perusahaan tua atau "old"
Question 2
When did the company have 43% of shares in the total wireless market?
A. 1993
B. 1994
C. 2010
D. 2011
Sudah dicetak tebal ya, kenapa jawabannya jadi C. Inget WHEN artinya KAPAN dan simply cari
tulisan di pertanyaan itu di teksnya.
Question 3
How does Welcome Cell provide GSM cellular service internationally?
A. Through its product
B. Through its customers
C. Through its nationwide
D. Through its roaming partners
Sudah digarisbawahi ya, kenapa jawabannya D. Sudah jelas di teks. How itu artinya bagaimana.

Levi Strauss came to the United States from Bavaria as teenager. After spending several years in
New York, he made a journey to California when the gold rush was at its peak. He got the idea to
sell tents to the gold miners, but they were not interested. He recycled the brown canvas cloth int
sturdy pants which became a great demand in mining camps. Later he began making work pants
in the blue cotton fabric imported from France, called "Serge de Nimes", known in America as
"Denim".
Along with Jacob Davis, a tailor from Nevada, Strauss patented a pattern of copper rivets to
strengthen the stress point on pants, especially the pocket. They first became known as waist
overalls, then "Levis". They became so popular that Strauss concentrated most of his effort on the
manufacture and sales of the durable work pants.

A. Strauss once lived in France

kurang signifikan.

B. The history of gold rush
C. The favorite work pants
D. The early business of Levi
Yang paling tepat D. Option A dan B itu nggak dibahas. Yang C ada statementnya tapi kurang
representatif terhadap keseluruhan paragraf, karena cuma kalimat di tengah - tengah yang
