Every time I hear the words, “I need you to calm down”, I’m anything but calm.

A few years ago, my parents were both finally off of work on a weekend, we went to the Domain to get some fro-yo in the beautiful Austin, Texas. My family and I were having little
vacation without a care in the world. We were there for a few hours, but then the heavenly wind stopped and the cruel Texas sun came peeking through the clouds, shining brutally.

We decided to leave to go towards the parking lot where there were more shadows than sunshine. My family and I were walking towards the car, and all I heard was ring and ring coming
from my dad’s pocket and repeating non-stop. We got in the car and my dad finally answered the phone. There were hushed whispers speaking quickly making it hard to listen in.

“I need you to calm down,” my dad said.

The next thing I knew, unexpected sobs, were coming out of a mouth – my dad’s mouth. The tears kept coming faster, and faster and his breathing became shallower. I never thought my
hardworking, manly dad would ever shed a tear, but I was wrong. I was shocked, scared, and quiet tears slid down as though a rain shower had come through.

My great uncle had a heart attack. I wasn’t close to him but all our encounters and memories. I remember it was Christmas and he always dressed up as Santa. But that year was different
16
because, after all those years of going to his house, I recognized that he wasn’t Santa and when it was time to take pictures I didn’t want to because I knew it wasn’t the real Santa, and I
knew it was him. I have no regrets about what I did do, but what I didn’t do broke me down. A person can lose their life in the snap of a finger. It scares me to think about losing a family
member, but it’s life and how God made it. I will never forget those words, “I need you to calm down,” they’re haunting and life-changing. I know I’ll hear them again and I’ll wait.

What was the source of the writer’s problem?

A. His/her uncle had a heart attack.

B. His/her father got an unpleasant call.

C. His/her father said “I need you to calm down”.

D. His/her uncle always dressed up as Santa at Christmas.

E. His/her thought about losing a family member in the snap of a finger

Dear Mr. John,

I am writing this letter to warn you against your smoking inside your apartment and the building.

When I rented the apartment out to you, I clearly mentioned the rules of living in my building. I have made and want everyone to adhere to these rules, as they benefit all the tenants and
make the environment a comfortable one to live in. Before signing the contract, I informed you that you cannot smoke within the building. However, I have received various complaints
from your neighbours; some have smelled smoke from your apartment, while others have been disturbed when the fire alarm in the building went off.

I tried to warn you so many times verbally, but the complaints have not stopped, which has forced me to write this warning letter. After this letter, if you will not change your habit of
smoking inside the building, I will have to cancel the contract and you have to empty the place. Just to clarify, I can do that by giving you a one-week notice period, as per the terms stated
in the contract.

I do not intend to make you uncomfortable, so I am certain that you will follow the rules from now on. If you want, you can smoke outside the building.

24 Regards,

Jane William.

I tried to warn you so many times verbally, but the complaints have not stopped, which has forced me to write this warning letter. After this letter, if you will not change your habit of
smoking inside the building, I will have to cancel the contract and you have to empty the place. Just to clarify, I can do that by giving you a one-week notice period, as per the terms stated
in the contract.

I do not intend to make you uncomfortable, so I am certain that you will follow the rules from now on. If you want, you can smoke outside the building.

27 Regards,

Jane William.

According to the writer, when will Mr John have to empty his place?

A. Right after he received the letter.

B. A week after he received the letter.

C. After the writer received complaint.

D. If he continues smoking inside the building.

E. If he does not stop his smoking outside the building.

A drone is an aircraft or flying device which does not have a human pilot onboard. Officially named an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a drone can be flown autonomously by on-board
computers or via remote control by a human pilot.

The drone originated in the military and were used for missions deemed too risky for humans. The history of the drone can be charted back to as early as 1849 when Austria sent
unmanned, bomb-filled balloons to attack Venice. Although drones have their origins in the military, the use of such devices in commercial, scientific, recreational, agricultural, and other
applications is expanding. In fact, as per 2015 figures, there are now more civilian drones than military drones. Some of these drones are equipped with cameras that allow the user to
record and take pictures using controlled navigation. Drones are often used for the purpose of recording, some at a more professional level, however, there are many who fly drones as a
hobby.

Drones have grown in popularity in recent years, and new models have been released lately with newer and better features. Drone hobbyist range from skill levels, but there are drones
that are tailored to beginners. Some drones are equipped with a memory card that allows the user to record their footage and upload it to their computer. Drones are navigated via their
channel control and transmitter; the higher the channel control, the better the user can navigate the drone at a higher speed.

Smartphones are, perhaps, one of the best inventions in the 21st century. This compact and light gadget enable the user to connect to the world just by one hand, yet its features spoil
them with many apps they need.

Smartphones help us stay connected to our social supports. In mental health, one of the most important protective factors is our social network. The more that we can talk to a friend and
gain meaningful connection and support from them, the more likely we will be able to cope with the many life stressors that come our way.

The other main benefits of phone use are their ability to help us stay organized and on top of our various tasks and chores, we must do in life. Smartphones can relieve us of some of the
stress of trying to remember all of our duties by helping us to set reminders and sort information that we need to succeed. This helps take away some of the mental burdens that can
come with the business of life.

However, there are also some negative side effects of smartphone usage. The biggest problem with phone use is actually tied to their wonderful ability to help us stay connected. While
being connected to our social supports is an excellent protective factor, we can also turn that protective factor into a significant stressor. If we are worried about how we appear to our
social groups, being connected 24/7 to those groups can end up being a very stressful feeling. This can lead to late nights of comparing ourselves to others on social media and
ruminating about how our profile picture appears to others.

The second biggest problem I see is the addictive quality that phone use can have. As with many addictive activities, we can sometimes end up using phones as a remedy for life’s
problems. If we turn to our phones for entertainment and distraction whenever life gets stressful, we run the risk of burying our problems only for them to arise years later in negative
40 ways.

In conclusion, the more that we can understand how these devices can be used for our benefit, and take precautions to protect ourselves from their risks, the more we will be able to
maintain mental wellness in an increasingly virtually connected world.

44 Perempuan Berkebaya, or "Women in Kebaya," a community of women in Jakarta who has been preaching the gospel of the traditional Indonesian blouse in the past five years, says that
wearing the kebaya every day can do wonders to the women who wear it and also to its preservation as a cultural heritage.

During an event to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the community in Jakarta on Saturday, co-founder and coordinator Telly Nathalia said if more Indonesian women wear the kebaya
every day, soon it will be as famous and identifiable as the Japanese kimono or the Indian sari.

"It's a symbol of our identity. Wearing the kebaya screams, 'We are Indonesia,'" Telly said.

The problem is, many Indonesian women think of the kebaya as a complicated and archaic costume that befits only elderly ladies, restricting its use to wedding parties or national day
celebrations.

But according to Telly, "The kebaya is very versatile. In the community, we teach people the right way to wear the kebaya so it doesn't feel restrictive. Women can easily wear it every day
to the office."

Telly said you no longer have to spend all night folding wirus (pleats) into your kain batik (wraparound skirt) to go with your kebaya. You can just wear it with a pair of trousers or even
jeans.

According to the kebaya activist, millennials, who love exclusivity and self-expression, should naturally gravitate to the kebaya.

"Each kebaya is distinctive. No two kebayas are the same. Same thing with the kain. Perfect for millennials who long for exclusivity and like being unique," Telly said.

The kebaya is an attractive statement outfit that could easily form a part of the Indonesian identity, according to Telly – if only local women wear it more often.

(Adapted from https://jakartaglobe.id/lifestyle/indonesian-kebaya-should-be-as-famous-as-the-japanese-kimono-or-the-indian-sari)

Why is Indonesian reluctant to wear kebaya in daily bases?

A. Because kebaya is considered old-fashioned.

B. Because kebaya is considered being fit in wedding parties.

C. Because kebaya is considered as one of national identity.

45 Perempuan Berkebaya, or "Women in Kebaya," a community of women in Jakarta who has been preaching the gospel of the traditional Indonesian blouse in the past five years, says that
wearing the kebaya every day can do wonders to the women who wear it and also to its preservation as a cultural heritage.

During an event to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the community in Jakarta on Saturday, co-founder and coordinator Telly Nathalia said if more Indonesian women wear the kebaya
every day, soon it will be as famous and identifiable as the Japanese kimono or the Indian sari.

"It's a symbol of our identity. Wearing the kebaya screams, 'We are Indonesia,'" Telly said.

The problem is, many Indonesian women think of the kebaya as a complicated and archaic costume that befits only elderly ladies, restricting its use to wedding parties or national day
celebrations.

But according to Telly, "The kebaya is very versatile. In the community, we teach people the right way to wear the kebaya so it doesn't feel restrictive. Women can easily wear it every day
to the office."

Telly said you no longer have to spend all night folding wirus (pleats) into your kain batik (wraparound skirt) to go with your kebaya. You can just wear it with a pair of trousers or even
jeans.

According to the kebaya activist, millennials, who love exclusivity and self-expression, should naturally gravitate to the kebaya.

"Each kebaya is distinctive. No two kebayas are the same. Same thing with the kain. Perfect for millennials who long for exclusivity and like being unique," Telly said.

The kebaya is an attractive statement outfit that could easily form a part of the Indonesian identity, according to Telly – if only local women wear it more often.
