Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to complain about an article in last Monday‟s newspaper, “Schools fail low-income

children”. As the Head teacher of one of the largest junior high, I feel strongly that the article does not describe our school.

My school has children from many different economic backgrounds, but a large percentage come from lower-income families. Nevertheless, our tests show that the children do well and benefit from the excellent work our teacher do. Last year our school moved from the 24th to 5th place according to

the official assessment by the state government. This clearly not the “failure” that the article suggests.

I would strongly recommend that more careful research should be conducted in the future so that newspaper will more realistically describe the true situation in our school.

Your sincerely,

Joan Gonzales

The Legend of the Dwarf

Many hundreds of years ago, there lived an old woman, all alone in a tiny hut. She had no children, and no one to ask after her. The old woman would weep night and day for a child, but of course, with no result. One day she took an egg, wrapped it carefully in cotton cloth, and put it in a corner of her hut. Night and day the old woman looked after the egg, in the hope that maybe it would give her a child. But nothing happened, and every day the old woman grew more and more unhappy.

One morning, as she went to look at the egg, she found that it had broken – and in its shell sat the tiniest, loveliest baby boy that anyone could imagine. The baby saw the old woman and smiled and held out its tiny arms. The old woman was delighted – here at last was the child she had wanted for so long.

The old woman loved the child dearly, and looked after it so carefully and so well, that by the time it was a year old it could walk and talk as well as any grown up. But for some strange reason, no one knows what, the baby stopped growing. He remained as tiny as a one-year old for the rest of his

life. He began to be called the „Dwarf‟.

The old woman did not care. She still loved the baby devotedly. „You will be a great king one

day, my child,‟ she told him, sure that the baby was destined for great things.

One day the old woman said to the Dwarf, „Go to the king‟s palace, my son, and challenge him to test his strength against yours.‟

The Dwarf protested. „How can I challenge the king, mother?‟ he said horrified. „He is greater

and much stronger than I. ‟But the old woman insisted, and the Dwarf was forced to do as she said. The king smiled at the child‟s challenge, and asked him to lift a heavy stone. The Dwarf went weeping to the old woman. „How can I lift that heavy stone?‟ he asked. „If the king can lift it, so can you,‟ said the old woman, and sent him back to the palace .And sure enough, the Dwarf was able to

lift the heavy stone.

The king gave him many more tasks to do, but anything the king could do, the Dwarf could do as well.

In this science experiment we will make a miniature bolt of lightning using a balloon, piece of wool and some metal. We will explore static electricity and what causes lightning. We will learn about electrons, atoms, positive and negative charges.

What to do:

1. Blow up the balloons.

2. Turn off the lights in a room at night and get it as dark as possible.

3. Rub the balloon rapidly against a piece of wool or wool sweater several times. This will give the balloon a negative charge as electrons jump from the wool to the balloon. When rubbing the wool against the balloon we are creating static electricity and saving it up in the balloon.

4. Move the balloon close to something metal like a filing cabinet or a door knob.

5. Watch for a flash or spark that jumps from the balloon to the metal object just like lighting.

Please note: The humidity in the air can affect static electricity. If the air is damp, such as during the winter, then this experiment may not work.

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 Astra 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 B. PAM Lyonnaise Jaya C. clean water industry D. city water operators E. clean water crisis

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.

Rain always comes from clouds. But where do clouds come from? How does all that water get into the sky?

Think about your bathroom. There is hot water in your bath. Steam goes up from the hot water. The steam makes small clouds in the bathroom. These warm clouds meet the cold walls and windows, and then we see small drops of water on the walls and windows.

The wind carries the clouds for hundreds of kilometres. Then the clouds meet cold air in the sky, and we see drops of water. The drops of water are rain.

The rain falls and runs into rivers. Rivers run into oceans. And the water from oceans makes clouds and more rain. So water is always moving from oceans to clouds to rain to rivers to oceans.

Television is today a part of daily life. It is not only a source of entertainment but also news and information. Television is also a valuable tool for science, education and industry

What makes television even more interesting is that action is accompanied by sound, so that we can see as well as hear what on the television. Today we can stay at home and enjoy entertainment that once could be seen only in cinema, theaters and sport arenas. Television enables to meet important people. It can bring important guests and important scene to receivers who are located anywhere.

Television has a great influence on our idea about what is right and what is wrong. It influences the way which we should behave. Television has close related to our life in general. Some times the value and life style we get from television are in conflict with those that we get at home and school. Critics point out that crime and TV show often appeal to taste for violence, while many games and quizzes appeal to greedy. it is important to suggest that television should be used for socially constructive purpose for the sake of better life.
