The Importance of Reading
I personally think that reading is a very important activity in our life. Why do I
say so? Firstly, by reading we can get a lot of knowledge about many things in the
world such as science, technology, sports, arts, culture, etc. written in books,
magazines or newspaper.
Secondly, by reading we can get a lot of news and information about
something happening in any parts of the world which can be seen directly.
Another reason, reading can give us pleasure too. When we are tired, we read
books, newspaper or magazines on entertainment columns such as comedy, short
story, quiz, etc. which make us relaxed.
The last, reading can also take us to another part of the world. By reading a
book about Borneo we may feel we‟re really sitting in that place, not at home in our
room.

Once upon a time there lived as neighbors, a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit was a
good shot and the bear, being very clumsy, could not use the arrow to good
advantage.
The bear was very unkind to the rabbit. Every morning, the bear would call over
to the rabbit and asked the rabbit to take his bow and arrows and came with the bear
to the other side of the hill. The rabbit, fearing to arouse the bear‟s anger by refusing,
consented to go with the bear and shot enough buffalo to satisfy the hungry family.
Indeed, he shot and killed so many that there was lots of meat left after the bear and
his family had loaded themselves and packed all they could carry home. However, the
poor rabbit could not even taste the blood from the butchering, as the gluttonous bear
would throw earth on the blood and dry it up. Poor rabit would have to go home
hungry after his hard day‟s work.
The bear was a father of five children. The youngest bear was very kind to the
rabbit. The mother bear, knowing that her youngest child was a very hearty eater,
always gave him an extra large piece of meat. The baby bear did not eat this extra
large piece of meat. Instead, he would take the meat outside and would pretend to play
ball with it, kicking it towards the rabbit‟s house. When he got close to the door he
would give the meat such a great kick that it would fly into the rabbit‟s house. In this

The Government Should be More Serious
Sometimes when I pass some certain places in Jakarta, I often see piles of trash
by the side of the street or even by the river. The view is annoying. It makes our city
looks ugly and very dirty. If we walk near the pile of trash, we could smell stinky
odors coming from it.
Piles of trash bring the bacteria with them. Isn‟t that very dangerous to our
health if files land on our food? However, many people live around this mountain-like
heap of trash. Many children play nearby. Also, a lot of women wash clothes and fruits
and vegetables in the river which is contaminated by trash. This is terrible. I think they
don‟t realize the dangers, because they don‟t have knowledge about healthy living.
In my opinion, the government must make a regulation that prohibits people to
built houses near the trash disposal (dump site). Also, there should be special offer,
like police officers, who watch and catch people who through trash on the ground or
into the rivers. Moreover, if a big fine doesn‟t make people stop dropping litter
carelessly, the government should put them in jail as a punishment.
Finally, I think efforts to keep our environment clean and tidy need hard work
from both citizens and government.

Why the Cat kills Rats
Long time ago, Ansa was the King of Celabar for fifty years. He had a very
faithful cat as a housekeeper, and a rat was his house-boy. The king was an obstinate,
headstrong man, but was very fond of the cat, who had been in his store for many
years.
The rat, who was very poor, fell in love with one of the king‟s servant girls, but
was unable to give her any presents, as he had no money.
At last he thought of the king‟s store, so in the nighttime, being quite small, he
had little difficulty to enter the store. Having made a hole in the roof, he then stole
corn and native pears, and presented them to his sweetheart.
At the end of the month, when the cat had to render her account of the things in
the store to the king, it was found that a lot of corn and native pears were missing. The
king was very angry at this, and asked the cat for the explanation. The cat could not
account for the loss, until one of her friends told her that the rat had been stealing the
corn and giving it to the girl.
When the cat told the king, he called the girl before him and had her flogged.
The rat he handed over to the cat to deal with, and dismissed them both from his
service. The cat was so angry at this that she killed and ate the rat, and ever since that

Stress will Weaken Your Immune System
Do you know that the immune system that protects your body from bacteria and
viruses will be weaken considerably if you are under stress?

The following text is for questions no 33 - 40.
Home Schooling
Home schooling is an education system which provides child‟s main education
program at home. Home schooling takes the place of full-time school attendance and,
in the United States and Canada, it usually meets state requirements for compulsory
education. Although home schooling could achieve the objectives of compulsory
education, there are some points that should be noticed from the home schooling.
First, the idea of taking our children on home schooling can be a bit intimidating.
Since our country is so large and the people are from so many different kinds of
background, students need some kind of social glue to make them stick together and to
give them a sense of unity inspite of all differences. They will not get such a unity
when they are in the compulsory public schools since it is the easiest and best places to
make this glue.
Then the home schooling may not be able to prepare children to fit into the mass
society, which means, among other things, what most people like. Or it may not be able
to help children to find a set of values with which they could resist and reject at least
many of the values of the mass society.
Recognizing the lack of home schooling in case of children‟s socialization
opportunity, we should afford them abundant social opportunities. We can have active
home school support groups. We can hold on going park days, meeting at the zoo, the
science museums, book clubs, home school scouting troops and many more options to
provide them opportunities to socialize with others.
