I can see the first leaf falling It's all yellow and nice It's so very cold outside Like the way I'm feeling inside (Big Big World, by Emilia) Questions Which line shows imagery? Explain your reason!

The Tortoise and the Hare One bright, sunny morning a tortoise–we shall call him Mr Tortoise was taking a walk when suddenly he met a hare. Now he did not like this hare at all, for he was very sarcastic, and always laughed at the tortoise. Nevertheless, the tortoise smiled and greeted him, "Good morning, Mr Hare. How are you?" The hare did not answer, but as soon as he saw the tortoise, he began to laugh very loudly. "Oh, oh. I can't help laughing at you, Mr Tortoise!" "Why, what's so funny?" "You! You are so slow, Mr Tortoise." "Me? Slow? Who says I'm slow?" asked the tortoise. "I do," answered the hare. "With those funny legs of yours you certainly can't run, you can only walk." "But there's nothing the matter with my legs." "Well, I don't know whether one can call them legs or not. They're so short and look so funny. I don't understand how you can get about at all!" The tortoise got very angry, but he just smiled. He walked on saying, "Goodbye, Mr Hare. See you again." "Wait a moment, Mr Tortoise. Where do you think you're going?" "I'm just taking a walk." "Oh? You certainly can't walk very far, though, can you?" Hearing this the tortoise became angrier still, but he pretended to be calm. "Look," he said, "why don't you stop teasing me and making fun of me? I'm sure I can run as fast as you can." At this the hare laughed so loudly that he was unable to answer the tortoise immediately. "You? As fast as me? Poor Mr. Tortoise, don't you know that I'm the fastest creature in the forest? "We shall see," said the tortoise. "I have a good plan. Do you see that tree over there on the top of the hill?" "Yes, I do." "Now, let's have a race and see which of us can reach that tree Àrst. It's a very long way off, but it will prove which of us can run the faster." The hare stopped laughing and asked, "Are you serious, Mr Tortoise?" "Of course I am," answered the tortoise. "Let's begin the race right away!" One, two, three! The tortoise and the hare were off. Of course the tortoise was quickly left far behind by the hare. When the hare had run for about half an hour he thought, "I think I will just lie down here to rest a while. I've made myself tired running so fast. Anyway, it will take a very long for the tortoise to get here. I can't even see him. When he comes, I will jump up and run away from him again. What a fool Mr Tortoise is to have a race with me, the fastest creature on legs!" So the hare lay down to rest, and soon was fast asleep. He slept for hours and hours! And he did not hear the tortoise passing quietly. It was already late in the afternoon when the hare woke up. "Goodness!" he cried out. "It's nearly dark! Where's Mr Tortoise?" He looked up towards the hill and saw the tortoise, very far off and very small! "Mr Tortoise can be only a few metres from the tree by now! I must hurry!" And the hare started to run just as fast as he could go. He ran and ran with all his might to get to the tree first. Ten minutes more! Three minutes more... two minutes more... one minute... thirty seconds... ten second... three... two... one! At that moment the tortoise reached the tree! And so he was the fisrt to arrive at the tree! The hare was late... only one second! Ashamed, tired and very exhausted because of running so very fast, the hare rolled over on the ground and died!

In the beginning there lived one man and one woman, Toglai and Toglibon. Their first children were a boy and a girl. When they were old enough, the boy and the girl went far away across the waters seeking nice place to live in. Nothing more was heard of them until their children, the Spaniards and Americans, came back. After the first boy and girl left, other children were born to the couple; but they all remained at Cibolan on Mount Apo with their parents, until Toglai and Toglibon died and became spirits. Soon after that there came a great drought which lasted for three years. All the waters dried up, so that there were no rivers, and no plants could live. “Surely,” said the people, “Manama is punishing us, and we must go elsewhere to À nd food and a place to dwell in.” So they started out. Two went in the direction of the sunset, carrying with them stones from Cibolan River. After a long journey they reached a place with broad fields of cogon grass and an abundance of water, and there they made their home. Their children still live in that place and are called Magindanau, because of the stones which the couple carried when they left Cibolan. Two children of Toglai and Toglibon went to the south, seeking a home, and they carried with them a women’s baskets (baraan). When they found a good spot, they settled down. Their descendants, still dwelling at that place, are called Baraan or Bilaan, because of the women’s baskets. So two by two the children of the first couple left the land of their birth. In the place where each settled a new people developed, and thus it came about that all the tribes in the world received their names from things that the people carried out of Cibolan, or from the places where they settled. All the children left Mount Apo except two (a boy and a girl). Hunger and thirst had made them too weak to travel. One day when they were about to die the boy crawled out to the field to see if there was one living thing, and to his surprise he found a stalk of sugarcane growing lustily. He eagerly cut it, and enough water came out to refresh him and his sister until the rains came. Because of this, their children are called Bagobo. Taken from http://www.pitt.edu/ 11. How many children did Toglai and Toglibon have? a. Two. b. Four. c. Six. d. It is not stated in the text.

When you think of festivals, do you think street parades, traditional events and colourful costumes? Well, think again! Nowadays, it's fashionable to stay indoors with your screens! Why? It's to celebrate video-gaming, which is one of the most popular hobbies around. There are lots of big gaming festivals in the world and the UK is one of the main centres because most gamers communicate in English. Insomnia, which is the biggest festival in the UK, is held every year near Birmingham and attracts thousands of young people. It's an amazing get-together where you can meet the world's most renowned players. Some of these celebrities are only eleven or twelve years old! There are tournaments of popular games like Mortal Kombat. Minecraft is also everywhere, which shows that it is a real cultural phenomenon. Although the festival happens inside and everyone is glued to screens, these events have a lot in common with traditional festivals. There are many fans who form long queues to watch celebrity gamers on big stages. There are incredible light displays and giant screens everywhere. At first sight, it looks more like a rock concert! We interviewed a teenager at the Insomnia festival in Coventry to see what she thought: Marcela: 'This is the best party I've ever been to! I've travelled across the world to be here. There's a real sense of community. I've met a lot of people who I only knew from the internet. We share our love for video games and discuss how best to play them. It's great for my English because that's what everyone speaks online and here too!' Choose the correct option according to the reading text! 1.

What's the main idea and supporting details from this text? PLASTIC POLLUTION Around the world, people throw away roughly four million tons of trash every day—that's enough to fill 350,000 garbage trucks or 10 Empire State Buildings. About 12.8 percent of that waste is plastic, which causes big problems for wildlife: some animals mistake plastic for food, while others can become entangled in the trash. Tips to Reduce Waste! 1. Don't use face wash or toothpaste with microbeads. These tiny plastic beads go down the drain, eventually making their way to rivers, lakes, and the ocean at a rate of eight trillion a day in the United States. Because these toxic beads look a lot like fish food, it's not uncommon for bigger fish and sea turtles to munch on them—a dish that could be deadly. 2. Say no to straws! In 2015 a viral video showed an olive ridley sea turtle in obvious discomfort as a team of experts work to dislodge something deep within its nostril. At first, they thought it was a worm. But experts were stunned to see what it really was: a plastic drinking straw. 3. Instead of packing your sandwich and snacks in plastic bags, use reusable containers or cloth sacks instead. Same goes for your drink: Skip the juice boxes and opt for a refillable water bottle. 4. Reduce the amount of plastic bags clogging up our trash and oceans by shopping with reusable bags instead. 5. To eliminate some of the excess packaging piling up in landfills, encourage your family to shop for snacks, cereal, and pasta in the bulk section of your grocery store (if yours doesn’t have any bulk items, check out a nearby natural food shop). Then, store it all in reusable glass jars. 6. Pack an apple, a banana, or an orange. Fruit fills you up in a healthy way, plus there’s no need for extra packaging. (Save the core, peels, and rinds for your compost bin.) Using these tips, keep track of the trash you toss. Every week, try to throw out less and less and see how much you can minimize your waste in a month. Some people have managed to put an entire year’s worth of garbage in one jar. Can you beat that? If your family is like many in the United States, unloading the week’s groceries includes hauling a case or two of bottled water into your home. On your way to a soccer game or activity, it’s easy to grab a cold one right out of the fridge, right? But all those plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels and pollute the environment. In fact, Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world, adding 29 billion water bottles a year to the problem. In order to make all these bottles, manufacturers use 17 million barrels of crude oil. That’s enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months. Imagine a water bottle filled a quarter of the way up with oil. That’s about how much oil was needed to produce the bottle. So why don’t more people drink water straight from the kitchen faucet? Some people drink bottled water because they think it is better for them than water out of the tap, but that’s not always true. In most places in the United States, local governments make sure water from the faucet is safe. There is also growing concern that chemicals in the bottles themselves may leach into the water. People love the convenience of bottled water. But maybe if they realized the problems it causes, they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a refillable steel container instead of plastic. Plastic bottle recycling can help—instead of going out with the trash, plastic bottles can be turned into items like carpeting or cozy fleece clothing. Unfortunately, for every six water bottles we use, only one makes it to the recycling bin. The rest are sent to landfills. Or, even worse, they end up as trash on the land and in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Plastic bottles take many hundreds of years to disintegrate. Water is good for you, so keep drinking it. But think about how often you use water bottles, and see if you can make a change. And yes, you can make a difference. Remember this: Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for six hours. Mohon bantuannya kakak² dan teman-teman 🙏

Read the following text. Gua Tabuhan Is a Lively Unique Cave In the cave, Nyi (Mrs) Kamiyem and Ki (Mr) Padmo sit on a big stone. Nyi Kamiyem will sing a song and Ki Padmo will beat the drum. Joining them are people called wiyogo which are drummers and other gamelan musicians. What makes this unique is that they mix gamelan with the sounds of nature. The visitors dance, forgetting all problems. Many tourists go to this cave. Maybe you are interested in going there too but you don't know where it is. Gua Tabuhan is located near Pacitan in East Java. It is situated in a lime hill called Tapan, in Tabuhan, Wareng village. The route is easy. Along the road there is beautiful tropical scenery to enjoy rice fields, coconut-palms and birds. East of the cave peddlers sell souvenirs. The drink and food peddlers are on the north side. People sell agates on the cave terraces. Somehow, it is like a fair. It is said that the cave is the only place where nature produces sounds like the music of gamelan. Nyi Kamiyem, a well-known pesinden (traditional Javanese singer) from the village of Gabuhan, who often sings in the cave, does not doubt anything. Gua Tabuhan did not use to welcome visitors. According to Kartowiryo (90), village elder, Gua Tabuhan used to be a hiding place for robbers. It was believed to be a sacred place. No one dared go inside. However, Wedana (chief of a district) Kertodiprojo, went to the cave to find out what was wrong. He found out that the cave was inhabited by the annoying evil spirits. The people chased the spirits away. The cave is dark, so people need lights, and a local guide will lead the way. Sometimes visitors bump their heads against the sharp rocks on the ceiling. Inside the cave there is a plain big stone which is believed to be the prayer mat of Pangeran Diponegoro, one of the Indonesian heroes who fought against the Dutch. It is said that Pangeran Diponegoro used to seclude himself in the cave. Some people now use the place for meditation. There is a stream in the cave, in the east corner, which can only be seen outside. However, it can be heard from inside. Besides the cave, Watukarang, a beach nearby, is good to visit. By the way, do you want different souvenirs? You can find them in Donorodjo village where agate craftsman work. So, have a nice journey. Taken from Hello English Magazine, January, 1996 ChooseT if the statement is true and F if it is false according to the text. 5. The inside of the cave is like a fair because visitors and peddlers bring light if they come in. (T/F)
