 This text is for question number 21  22

Dear, Rosa
Hi Rosa, It has been long time no see you. I have a problem with my girl friend. She is
twenty five years old. We have been dating each other for years, since we were high
school students. Now we have jobs. I feel very sure that we love each other. Now it is
time for me to get married. Unfortunately, her parents never approve of our relationship
ever since the first time. My family, anyhow, does not really mind. At first I thought my
girl friend had the power to defend our love. But then she surrendered. She loves me and
she loves her family, too. On the one hand she said, "I'll be happy if my family is happy."
It means she had to get approval from her parents.
For this I was shocked. My heart was broken. She ended our relationship just at the time
when I was ready to marry her. When I was with her, we were very happy. We had a lot
in common and there were no conflicts. The truth was, we separated only because of her
parents. They want her to marry her cousin, her aunt's son (this is one of the traditions in
the Karonese).
For the time being I am very upset. When I miss her, I call her. Then we can eat together,
talk together for hours. We act like elating because she loves me, too. The real problem
is, she cannot refuse what her parents want. So, should I forget my girl friend, the only
one that I truly love? Or else, should I just wait, and dream that one day she will be back
to me?

Rio N., Padang

21.What is the relation between Rosa and Rio ? They are…

A. Employers. D. Roommates
B. Pen pals. E. Relatives

22.Why do the girl's parents disapprove of their marriage? They disapprove their marriage
because ...
A. They don't like Rio. D. They keep the Karonese tradition.
B. The girl is still studying. E. The girl has chosen another guy.
C. Rio is from a different ethnic group.

This text is for question number 29

Everyone hates taking exams, but you can improve your study technique to avoid being caught
unprepared. Here are the tips:

1. Last not but least, make studying a part of your habits. Too often, it’s easy to view
studying as something that only gets done at the last minute in a huge overnight cram
session.
2. Then, pay attention in class. This seems like no-brainer, but actually paying attention
while you’re in class will help you immensely once exam times comes.
3. Ask about the exam format. Ask your teacher what format the test will be in, how it will
be graded.
4. First of all, review your syllabus. Figure out when all of your exams will be and how
much of your grade they are worth (passing grade or KKM).
5. After that, take good notes. This is easier said than done, but learning how to take good
notes will help you immensely once it comes to study.
6. Next, review your notes daily, right after class. This will help reinforce the information
you just learned.

29. The best arrangement is …

A. 4 – 2 – 6 – 5 – 1 – 3 D. 4 – 2 – 1 – 6 – 5 – 3
B. 4 – 2 – 5 – 6 – 1 – 3 E. 4 - 2 – 3 – 6 – 5 – 1
C. 4 – 2 – 6 – 5 - 3 – 1

This text is for question number 31  33.

Lately, concerns have arisen that Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, and its
immediate surroundings are threatened to experience a clean water crisis by 2025. Clean
water, which is produced by two private operators – PAM Lyonnaise Jaya (Palyja) and
Aetra Air Jakarta – currently totals 18.7 m3 per second. However, by 2025, demand for
clean water will reach 41.3 m3/second as the population of Jakarta is estimated to grow
to 14.6 million people from 9.6 million currently (the unofficial figure is possibly much
higher).
It has been reported that city-owned property developer Jakarta Propertindo
(Jakpro) and city-owned developer Pembangunan Jaya will acquire a combined 100
percent stake in Palyja. If the Jakarta administration has a direct stake in the city water
operators, it will increase public supervision on the local clean water industry.
PAM Lyonnaise Jaya, which manages the clean water supply in the west side of
Jakarta, is a private water operator that is partly controlled by Astra International through
its subsidiary Astratel Nusantara. Palyja has been active in Jakarta for about 16 years.
However, last year a law suit was filed demanding that the court will annul the
agreement between city water operator PAM Jaya and Palyja and Aetra Air Jakarta
(Aetra) claiming that public access to affordable clean water has been hindered.
Based on information from the World Bank, Indonesia plans to achieve universal
clean water access by 2019 but almost half of the population still do not have access to
clean water at present.

31. What is the text about? It’s about ....

A. the growth of water supply D. city water operators
B. PAM Lyonnaise Jaya E. clean water crisis
C. clean water industry

32. What is predicted to happen in 2025?

A. Public access to affordable clean water will be hundred.
B. Indonesia to achieve universal clean water access.
C. There will be more water supply operators.
D. The demand for clean water will decrease.
E. Jakarta will experience water crisis.

33. Paragraph one discusses ...

A. the demand for clean water.
B. clean water crisis in Jakarta in 2025.

Students' First Days in School Need to Be Made Constructive

In the past days and weeks schools across Indonesia have been opening up their doors
again to receive students entering the new school year. Naturally enough, this has been a time of
many trials and tribulations as existing students join new classrooms and new students try to find
their way around a new school.
Such times would be difficult enough for even adults. In adult life we need time to adapt
to new settings and find our footing and direction to settle in and come to terms with what lies
ahead. This kind of experience, difficult enough in adulthood, can prove extremely challenging
for them, as yet, still young and forming hearts and minds of school-age children.
During the first days back at school great opportunities exist to try to develop a sense of
community that will help students settle in and have a firm foundation on which to build their
studies during the coming year.
There are almost constant complaints that there is too much to study for school students
and yet time is, every year, wasted on negative and useless orientation day pranks and fooling
around. Surely, when time pressures are of such a concern and teachers complain that they have
too much to teach from the curriculum, the first days of school would be a great time to help
students prepare for the challenges ahead. Constructive teambuilding and guidance towards much
needed study skills would serve these students far better than nonsense tasks and ridicule.
Schools should design these days carefully and not let them be so negligently and
dangerously wasted. The benefits of good early learning experiences can be considerable and the
duty that schools should exercise to consider a child's psychological welfare really have to leave
little room in the first days of school for such waste and ridiculousness.

39. Which of these statements DO NOT reflect the ideas in the text?
A. First day is the time for trials and tribulation for new students.
B. Adult life needs time to adapt to new settings in the near future.
C. A sense of community can be developed during the first days back to school.
D. Schools all over Indonesia had opened registration many days before the first day.
E. Constructive team-building for students is better than meaningless tasks and ridicule.

40. The main idea of paragraph 4 is ….

A. complaints that there is too much study
B. complaints about the orientation
C. objection on the negative activities
D. needs of constructive teambuilding
E. teachers concern on much curriculum

B. ESSAY

41. Read the following text and answer the question.

When we had a holiday last year, my family and I went to a place at the seaside and
borrowed a boat from one of our friends. We sailed and finished on the sea all day.
When the sea was rough, we sailed on a small lake near the sea instead. There were not
many fish in the lake, but in the sea we caught a lot with a hook, line and small pieces of
bread.
When the weather was fine, we collected pieces of dried wood and fired or grilled our
fish over them on the beach.
