avoid people. Sometimes they attack and kill people, but only if they cant find other food. Tigers hunt alone. They usually hunt at night. Tigers will travel 6 to 20 miles (10 to 30 kilometers) in one night while searching for prey. Tigers sneak up on their prey. They use the trees and grass to hide. A tiger slowly and silently sneaks until its prey is about 30 feet (about 10 meters) away. The tiger then lunges, lightning-fast, and grabs the animal in its paws and wrestles it to the ground. It sinks its teeth into the animals neck to kill it. Tigers are disappearing in the wild. There are less than 7,000 tigers still alive. People pose the biggest threat to tigers. People destroy the tigers forest home. People have taken away tigers food. People also hunt tigers for sport and sell their skins and bones. Most countries have passed laws against hunting tigers, but poachers continue to kill them.

Monolog for questions number 13-16: Tigers are members of the cat family. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, and house cats are also members of the cat family. Tigers are the largest cats, and the only cats with stripes. They live in large forests in southern and southeastern Asia. A tigers short fur is usually colored dark orange with black stripes. The stripes make a tiger stand out if you see them in the open. In the forests where tigers live, however, the stripes make them almost invisible. Like house cats, tigers have soft pads on the bottoms of their paws. These pads allow tigers to move silently through the forest. Tigers have long, sharp claws at the ends of their feet. They pull the claws in until they need them. When needed, the claws pop out like knives. Tigers eat the largest animals they can catch. They hunt wild boars, deer, wild cows, young elephants, and young rhinos. Tigers also kill farmers cows and goats. Tigers prefer to

Monolog for questions number 17-23: Zebras are a kind of horse. They walk, jog, run, and gallop just as horses do. Zebras live only in Africa. There are three species of zebras: Grvys zebra, the mountain zebra, and the plains zebra (also known as Burchells zebra). Each kind of zebra has its own pattern of stripes. No two zebras have exactly the same stripes. Zebras like to hang out together in groups. When zebras are feeding together, the stripes can confuse an attacking animal. The stripes make it hard for a lion or hyena to pick out one zebra in the crowd. The stripes also break up the zebras outline and make zebras hard to see at a distance. Zebras are usually smaller than horses. The mountain zebra is the smallest zebra. These zebras are about 4 feet (about 1.2 meters) high at the shoulders. Plains zebras are slightly larger. Grvys zebra is the largest zebra. It stands about 5 feet (about 1.5 meters) high at the shoulder. Zebras have manes that stick straight up from their necks. A zebras tail is shorter than a horses tail. Zebras can hear very well. They turn their ears and big eyes toward the source of any sound. They are always on the lookout for danger. How zebras hold their ears helps to show what mood they are in. A zebra that flicks its ears back and forth is upset. Like other members of the horse family, zebras are grazing animals. They feed on coarse grass. Zebras have chisel-shaped teeth at the front of the mouth to bite off the grass and large molars (back teeth) for grinding up food. Zebras spend over half their time eating. In a single day, a herd of zebras may wander more than 12 miles (20 kilometers) in search of food. Zebras form small family units. A zebra female, or mare, is pregnant for about 12 months. She usually gives birth to one foal at a time. The newborn foal feeds on its mothers milk for up to a year. The main natural enemies of zebras are lions, hyenas, and other wild animals. However, people are a greater threat to zebras. People hunt zebras. They hunted a kind of zebra called the quagga until the animal died out. Today, Grvys zebra and the mountain zebra are endangered. People still hunt them for meat

and hides. People turn the lands where zebras live into farms and ranches. This leaves fewer places for zebras to live.

This apple juice recipe will taste much better, and be more natural than the storebought kind. Here's how to make homemade apple juice. First, prepare some apples, cinnamon (optional), sugar (if needed), large pot with lid, ladle, colander or sieve, and filter (cheesecloth, jelly bag, or coffee filters). Dont forget to prepare canning jars, jar grabber, and canner. Select the apples. Don't use just any apples for your apple juice recipes. If you choose apples that are naturally sweet, you won't need to add much sugar. Never use just one variety of apples for your juice-choose a mixture of apples. Make sure that your apples are fully ripe. Next, wash the apples, core them and chop them. Do not peel them. Then wash the jars or boil them for 10 minutes to sterilize them before making apple juice. After that, fill a large pot with water up to 4 inches deep. Then, add the apples. Cover the pot, and turn the stovetop on high. Once the water is boiling well, turn down to medium-high, and continue to cook until the apples are soft all the way through. Now, filter the apples to remove pulp, skins, seeds, and stems. You can run it through a sieve or colander, or refrigerate for a day and then pour out the liquid, leaving the sediment in the bottom to discard. For filtered apple juice, line your colander or sieve with cheesecloth, coffee filters, or a jelly bag, and let the fresh juice drip through it slowly. Heat it on low until you've collected enough juice to fill the jars. Add cinnamon to taste. Taste the juice now and add a little sugar if needed. Now, carefully scoop the juice into your canning jars, filling them to within a quarter inch

of the top lip, and tighten the lid. To can the juice, place in the canner, covering with at least an inch of boiling water. Boil for 10 minutes to seal the jars. Finally, lift them out, and let them cool overnight without touching them. Check that they are sealed by pressing in the center of the lid. Unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used quickly.

Monolog for questions number 30-32: How to keep a conversation going It can be difficult to keep a conversation going. Even if you understand what the other person is saying, you can feel "blocked" or "frozen" when it's your turn to speak. The words or phrases you need don't often come quickly enough to mind. But there are other ways to help keep the conversation along. The "secret" is that you don't actually need many words to do this! Here are some ways to make you sound like a fluent, confident speaker of English without saying very much. You don't need to say much. Often just one word is needed to show you are interested and listening. Try "Really?" (with a rising intonation), "Right" or "Sure". You could even show you are listening with a non-word such as "Mmm" or Uh-huh". Otherwise, use a short phrase to show your feelings. For example, "How awful", "Oh no!", "You're joking", "What a pity" etc. You can response the statement "My neighbour had a car accident yesterday," with "Oh, no!" Then, you can use an auxiliary verb to make a short question which will encourage the other speaker to keep talking. So, when your partner says "We tried out the new Chinese restaurant last night," you can say "Did you?" or when he says "I'm going to Barbados next week on holiday," you can answer "Are you? Lucky you!" Finally, try to repeat what the other person said. Do this especially if the other person has said something surprising. For example, when someone says "He won Rp 2 million on the quiz," you can say "Rp 2 million! repeating what she said.

Monolog for questions number 37-40: "Those who don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it" and "A great nation is one which fully appreciates its heroes." say popular English aphorism and national adage. Then, proposing an important person who has taken a role in our nation history is important. I think Gesang should be a national hero. Who have never heard Bengawan Solo song? I doubt it if there is. This keroncong song has been a part of national voices. Gesang is a senior composer whose songs gained fame all the way to Japan. He has received a number of awards in art and everyone will admit that his art talent was dedicated to this nation. Government has declared the other great composers, WR.
