All plants need water to grow. They get this water from the soil.

In some places nature supplies

all the water that is needed. But in other places people must find ways to supplement nature’s supply. The
system of supplying water to ensure proper growth of plants and to increase the field of crops is called
irrigation.

the world’s farmland is irrigated. But the irrigated land supplies a large percentage of the world’s food

I was watching All Jazeera the other evening and there was a whole program dedicated
(ditujukan) to corruption in Indonesia.

The chinese invented paper almost 2000 years ago. Origami, the art of paper folding, is just as old. It

vehicles and servant, as well as paper money, as part of Chinese funeral rites (ritual). These colored paper
symbols are still burned at Buddhist funeral so the dead person can live in earthly comfort in the next
world.
In the 7 century A.D. paper folding was brought to japan. The japanese developed many of China's
art dan craft into their own forms expression. They found new methods of folding paper into pretty forms

Governor Sutiyoso has launched his mass rapid transportation plan. This includes monorail, subway,
water transportation, and Busway. Among the public transportation plan, Busway has been put into effect.
The air conditioned bus fleet (armada) with their special roads have been operated since last year. Now
more routes are being constructed to cover the five mayoralties. In fact, the existence of Busway makes
pros and cons.
Some people consider Busway can solve a traffic problem faced by the metropolitan city. Every day
millions of people commute (bepergian) from their houses to their respective work places. This badly
needs adequate public transportation. If fifty persons go to their officer by cars, they need fifty cars
roaming on the street. This number of cars can be replaced by only one Busway. Consequently, with
reduced vehicles the streets are less congested (kepadatan). Therefore, I can decline (mengurangi) traffic
jams. Apart (selain) from reducing traffic jams, Busway eases Jakarta inhabitants to go to their
workplace or other destination. For this reason more access on Busway is being accomplished. Other
Busway roads. Have been constructed, such as, Kota-Kalideres, and Kota-Polugadung. This definitely
make easier for people who go for recreation to the zoo.
 Besides reducing traffic jam and comforting passengers, Busway can minimize air pollution. As
stated, Busway can replace other vehicles in a great number. It apparently (kelihatannya) declines the
danger of pollution. Less vehicles means less carbon monoxide coming out from the exhausted (knalpot)
fumes. As a result, the residents of Jakarta are less threatened with sickness caused by air pollution. And
it Busway administration can manage the public transport well, Busway can create a new icon of Jakarta.
Those who resist the existence of Busway argue that instead of solving a problem, Busway create a
new problem. Busway even makes traffic worse. The Busway line makes the roads narrower. Narrow
roads cause passing vehicles to get stuck especially during rush hours. Furthermore, Busway adds up
corruption that has become a vicious (kejam) circle in this country. As reported in a newspaper the
purchase of Busway fleet is under corruption suspect. Billions of expense, Busway fare is also much
expensive than an ordinary bus. It costs Rp. 3.500 for once ride, while the common bus only costs Rp.
2.000. With the difference in the bus fare, it is likely that passengers prefer to ride ordinary buses.
Apparently, Busway still creates different outlooks among the residents of Jakarta. In spite (namun)
of all the critics, the governor of Jakarta firmly (dengan tegas) continues to extend its route.

Wayang Kulit, the shadow puppets prevalent (lazim) in java and Bali, is without a doubt the best
known of the Indonesian wayangs. The stories are usually drawn of the Ramayana the Mahabarata or the
serat Menak. The island of lombok has develoved its own style of Serat Menak, so that the term Serat
Menak lombok is also common. Another from is the Punakawan with the figures of Semar, Bagong,
Petruk, and Gareng. Semar is the father of Gareng (oldest son), Petruk and Bagong (youngest son).
Instead of being based in the great epics, it is more of a political cabaret, dealing (berurusan) with gossip
and contemporary affairs.
The figures themselves vary from place to place. Central Java Yogyakarta produces expensively
constructed figures with a high degree of abstraction, for example thin, fine – limbed figures with
almond-shaped eyes and tapered (runcing), pointed noses to represent the good nobility (kabangsawanan),
Bali produces more compact figures, and Lombok has figures representing real people and such real-

At least nine people were killed and dozens were injured when the Philippines security forces
clashed with dozens of slum dwellers (penghuni) who resisted (menolak) the tearing down of their homes
in the northern province, a police commander said Tuesday.
Raul Gonzales, the police chief in the northern Cordillera area, said, that the soldiers and police
officers traded gunfire with dozens of people who are illegally occupying (menduduki) the private land in
Kalinga province.

(dihancurkan)," said Gonzales. He added that the security only defended themselves after the residents
dug foxholes and opened fire with automatic rifles.

from their bodies."

Lowering births is the unambiguous (jelas) object of government policy, especially in the developing
countries. Increasing populations press on the environment and its resources, take away profits from the
capital available for new investment, crowd cities with 5 people for whom jobs are not available, and
cause political turmoil b(kekacaian). After a period of uncertainty government have become aware that
national power and individual welfare (kesejahteraan) are more likely to be attained (dicapai) with fewer
people.
Contraceptive measures are feely available in most countries and are actively promoted in many.
Such promotion has little effect when people want large families. However, when the modern ways of
live have come into play and people want small families promotion or birth control speeds the decline
(penurunan) of the birth rate. Typically (biasanya), the better off take up family limitation first.
Governmental sponsorship of birth control and foreign aid makes contraceptives available to the poor.
This apparently (kelihatannya) helps to spread the practice of family limitation among ever wider strata
(pengurangan) of the population. Recent surveys in Colombia, Indonesia and other places with active
programs point to a more rapid decline in birth rates than had previously been thought impossible.

Trappists are monks (biarawan/ biksu) who are not allowed to preach (berkhotbah) or to teach. Their
lives are devoted (dibaktikan) to meditation, studying and reading.
In 1949, one group of Trappists fled to Hong Kong from China, leaving behind their houses and
their dairy (susu) industry. They dressed themselves as labourers (buruh) and carried only a few
possessions (harta milik).
Here, the monks had to start a new life. They found it difficult to obtain food and they had nowhere
to live; but somehow they managed with the help of the community and charitable (amal) organizations.
It was not until 1995 that the Hong Kong government granted (mengabulkan) them land on Lantao island.
The monks are not allowed to beg for a living, so they had to work very hard on the island. They
started a dairy farm, kept about five hundred chickens and started growing their own vegetables.
A large part of the work of the Trappists is concerned with their dairy. The cows are fed regularly,
milked and kept healthy. The dairy, which produces about two thousand bottles of milk a day, brings the
monks their main income. The monks sell about half of the milk to a large hotel in Hong Kong, while
hospitals and schools buy the rest. The monks also earn some money by selling eggs. Sometimes, the
Trappists sell some of their cattle (ternak). The monks themselves do not eat meat, however, as they are

My mother is a fifty-year old widow. She and my father were very happy together – and I know she

Once upon a time, there lived a lion in a forest. One day, when he went to drink water in a river,
one of his feet got stuck into the damp mushy mud of the river. He tried a lot to get out of the mud, but
didn't achieve. He had to live without food for days because he didn't find any help. On one fortunate day,
a kind jackal (serigala) came to drink water from the river. When he saw the lion, he went closer to the
lion and said, "What is the matter? Why are you resting here?"
 The lion narrated him the pathetic (menyedihkan) story. The Jackal instantly made a way out
from the sand but the lion was unable to move his feet. As he was set in the same posture for last several
days, his body became stiff. The jackal understood the condition of the lion and helped him to get out of
the mud with an extra effort. The Lion was really thankful to jackal for his kind help. He was very happy
to get free after so many days.
The Lion appreciated the effort made by the jackal. He offered the jackal to live close to him and
also promised to give food to him whenever he caught food. The jackal accepted the offer and started
living with the lion. Thus, they lived happily sharing the food. With the passing time, they expanded their
families. The lion had cubs and the jackal had kid jackals. Both, the lion and the jackal were passing their
days happily. They didn't have any idea that their friendship was not liked by their families.
One day after a long time, the lioness, lady of the lion's house, told her cubs that she didn't like
the amity (hubungan baik) between the jackal and her husband. The cubs passed the message to the kid
jackals. The kids complained the matter to the lady jackal. The lady jackal passed the complaint to her
husband.
The jackal went to the Lion and asked," I helped you without any thought in return. You had asked me
to live with you, so I started living with you. Now, if you don't want me to live with you, you should have
told me yourself. Why did you involve (melibatkan) your wife and cubs to convey (menyampaikan)
this?". The Lion was shocked to hear such words. He said, "My dear friend, what are you saying? I don't
find any problem with you or your friendship". He assured the jackal that he had no such ill-feelings for
the friendship between them.
The Lion also assured that he would talk to the lioness and solve the whole matter. The jackal was
intelligent and understood the situation. He said to the lion, "Dear friend, I know you are sincere (tulus),
but our families could not exactly respond the same level of friendship. So, let us stay apart and meet
often as friends. We could also hunt together. It would be better, if our families stay apart". The Lion
agreed to the proposal with a heavy heart.

The right to freedom of religion is enshrined (diabadikan) in the UN charter (piagam) and
considered by many to be a basic human right. Some religions require special diet, others prayer at
specific times. Why should a religious mode of dress receive as much protection as these other aspects of
religious freedom?
Many Muslim women view the veil as a means to protect their modesty and privacy. Just as we
would not force any women to be seen in public in her underwear if she did not feel comfortable doing so,
why should a woman be forced to show her hair if she does not want to? Modesty is a personal judgment
call; some are comfortable in the smallest bikini while others prefer a lot more clothing. No one but the
woman herself should make that decision.
Muslim women are not the only ones to feel coerced (dipaksa) over their mode of dress. Most
people are affected by the societal (kemasyarakatan) norms surrounding them. Fashion trends could be
seen in exactly the same light as religious traditions.
Banning head coverings is only likely to provoke (menimbulkan) a more extreme reaction among
highly religious communities. Framing (pemasangan) laws to ban only Islamic forms of dress could be
considered an attack on one religion. Feeling under attack could cause the Islamic community to close off
into itself. They could set up religious schools where their children can dress as they want them to and not
mix with children from other faiths. These effects could never be good for the integration of society and
would further the influence of extremists. Internationally, the perceived (dirasakan) attack on Islamic
values would inflame (mengobarkan) wider Muslim opinion, feed conspiracy theories and add to the
dangerous feeling that there is a clash of civilizations (peradaban).
Intolerant schools make up problems as an excuse for not allowing Muslims freedom of religious
expression. In a multicultural society, students should be aware of the different religious practice and
cultural traditions of their classmates, and be taught to understand and respect these. Without such
respect, Muslims and other groups with distinctive dress, such as Orthodox Jews and Sikhs, will be driven
out of mainstream education and forced to educate their children separately, which will really create
divisions and alienation (pengasingan).
Based on the above discussion, the government should not banned Muslim's headscarf as a part of
school or office uniforms.
