This text is for questions 4 and 5.
On Saturday morning at 9:30, I was walking down Sunda Street, looking for a record store. A man
stopped me and asked me the way to the Hyatt Hotel. I wasnt sure exactly where it was, but I walked with him to
the end of Sunda Street. He was very friendly, and his face looked so familiar. Then I remembered where the
Hyatt was and told him how to get there. He thanked me and tried to give me something. I thought it was money.
I said no at first, but he really wanted me to have it, so I took it.
I found the record store and listened to a few records. D Masive had a new record that was number two
in the top twenty. I decided to buy it. I looked in my bag for my wallet and found a piece of paper the man gave
me. It was a photo. I was very surprised! He was a singer in D Masive!

A Trip to Snow Mountains
When my family was living in Sydney, we
used to go to a place called Snow Mountains
because Sydney never has snow in winter. Well,

the weather can get very, very cold, and the

temperature could go as minus 5 degrees Celcius,
but it never snows. That was the reason why we liked
going to Snow Mountains.
Our first trip to Snow Mountains was very
exciting. We went with a group of foreign
students from different parts of the world. We went by
bus to Canberra, and then we went up to the
mountain. And believe me, you need to be
an expert driver because the road was rough and
wet. We had to go very slowly and cautiously.
Luckily, our driver was a real professional.
He did a great job taking us to the mountains, but I
saw many good cars sliding off the roads. The police
were made busy by those accidents, but the police

A letter.

seemed to have anticipated the situations. They had

all kinds of equipment to help the poor cars.
When we reached the resort area, a nice
warm meal was waiting in a nice and warm dining
room. It was a relief. Then, we had to hire the SnowMountain gear like caps, scarves, thick jackets and
snow boots. We simply had to do that or we would
have been freezing to death. I felt really big and fat in
that outfit and I had to learn how to walk in snow.
The most exciting part was the toboggan ride.
Toboggan is basically a fiberglass board designed to
slide down the snowy slopes.
So I climbed up the hill, and then I sat down on the
toboggan. I held on to ropes used to steer and slid
down the hill. It turned out that my steering ropes
werent tied on correctly, so
I could not control my toboggan properly. I slid down
really fast without being able to control where I was
going. So I ended up plugging into
a freezing cold creek!

E. The way to the mountains was very

challenging.

This text is for questions 19 and 20.

Last month my family and I went to Toraja to
attend Grandpas funeral. It was my first time to go to
such a ceremony. We gathered there with our kin in
the ceremony.
Overall, the ceremony was quite elaborate. It
took about a week. Several days before the ceremony
was done, grandpas body was kept in a series of
houses arranged in a circular row around an open
field called tongkonan. His corpse was dressed in fine
clothes.
The funeral was performed in two phases.
First, we slaughtered the pigs and buffaloes, and then
moved the corpse to face north. In this ceremony we
wore black clothes. After that, the corpse was placed
in a sandal wood coffin. Then, it was brought out of
the house and placed on an open platform beneath
the granary. Meanwhile, my uncle, my brother, and
I prepared the wooden puppet and a funeral tower
called lakian. The next phase of the ceremony was
held in this place. The coffin was borne from the
house and placed in the lakian. During the day, there
were also buffalo matches. They were great matches.
On the night, we were feasting, chanting, and
dancing. On the last day, the grandpas coffin were
lowered from the funeral tower and brought up to the
mountain side family graveyard. It was followed by
great shouting and excitement from the relatives and
the guests. Finally, we installed the wooden puppet
on a high balcony where other puppets representing
the members of a whole family were already there.
The funeral ceremonies made my family and
me tired. However, we were grateful because it ran
smoothly.

Esai

Contoh jawaban:
When I was a kid, I liked swimming very
much. Each year my two brothers and I spent the
holiday with our uncle and aunt in their house by the
sea.
It was only twenty yards from the water. The water
was warm, the sun shone brightly, and most days
there were no waves. In the middle of the day a wind
always began to blow, but it was not strong and did
not make the sea rough.
One day, we put on our swimming-shorts
before breakfast. Then, we ran down to the sea
across the sand and jumped in. We were in the sea
or on the beach until late at night. When our aunt
rang a bell, we went back to the house for food, but
we ate it in our swimming-shorts and soon went back
in the sea again. We were all very good swimmers.
We dived through the waves or rode towards the
beach on top of them until we were tired and hungry.
