Camping, this is another fun activity in school holidays. Why do I say that?
Firstly, camping activities can make you learn to survive in nature, which is like cook. You can’t buy fried chicken or Padang Rice at nature. You must cook for your own self. You can’t cook rice with rice cooker. You must cook rice with a pan, which in Sundanese called “ngaliwet”.
Secondly, you can learn to love and keep your environment. In nature, don’t throw away the rubbish anywhere! You have to collect your own rubbish and put it in to a big plastic bag.
Thirdly, it’s cheaper than should fill your holidays to Dufan or Sea World. You just have to choose a beautiful place around you. There are many kind beautiful places around our environment. Don’t go camping alone. Bring your family or friends and make your camping pretty fun.

Keeping pets at home

Nowadays there are many people keeping pets at their home. Keeping pets at home is beneficial for us for several reasons.

       I personally think that reading is a very important activity in our life.  Why do I say so? Well, firstly, by reading we can get a lot of knowledge about many things in the world such as science, technology, sports, arts and culture. We can learn about all these things by reading books, magazines, newspapers or surfing the Internet.

       Secondly, by reading we can get a lot of news and information about what is happening in other parts of the world.

       You know, reading can give us pleasure too.  When we are tired, we read the entertainment section of
a newspaper of magazine for relaxation.

       Lastly, reading can also take us to other parts of the world. By reading a book about Papua, we may feel we’re really sitting in a jungle in Papua, not at home in our rooms.

       From the facts I have stated, it’s obvious that everyone needs to read to get knowledge, information and also entertainment. In summary, we can say reading is truly important in our lives.

This text is for questions 6 to 9.

              Drug users are actually ill people who need to be helped. Rehabilitation is one of the main things that they should get. Instead of punishing them and filling up the prisons with them, the government should provide rehabilitation for them.

              Most users are actually victims of drug dealers and they suffer from consuming the drugs. Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out of a trap they have fallen in. They, then, can start a normal life again. On the other hand, if we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, it doesn’t solve the problem because the drug users will still be addicts unless being properly treated.

           Jails will be filled up with drug users. Moreover, the users will still be users after being released from prison. They, then, will be arrested again.

            By providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing them to participate in the programs is a better way than only arresting them and doing nothing on to cure their illness. Moreover, prisons will not be so full and packed up with users. Only drug dealers, traffickers and wholesalers should be imprisoned.

Learning English

                   Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix pleasure with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to improve your English. Some underlying reasons can be drawn to support the idea why we use songs in language learning.

                  Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the last song we hear after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc.) can be both enjoyable and sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the idea that songs work on our short and long term memory.

                  Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of repetition, which is just what many learners look for in sample texts. The fact that they are effective makes them many times more motivating than other texts. Although usually simple, some songs can be quite complex syntactically, lexically and poetically, and can be analyzed in the same way as any other literary sample.  

                  Furthermore, songs can be appropriated by listeners for their own purposes. Most pop songs and probably many other types of songs don’t have precise people, place or time reference.

                  In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage harmony within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools in sustaining culture, religion, patriotism and even revolution.

                   Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs such as studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension, translating songs, learning
vocabulary, spelling and culture.

                  From the reasons above, it can be concluded that through music and songs, learning English can be enjoyable and fun.

This text is for questions 16 to 20.

                   A needle exchange program would only encourage more people to use drugs, in my opinion, and many would still share needles or reuse needles even if there was a program.

                   Giving needles out for addicts to prevent the spread of disease will only encourage them and others to consume drugs more often. In addition, it may even encourage people, who have never tried certain types of drugs, to try them because now they will get their needles for free. Do we really want to encourage this type of behavior? I wouldn’t think so. Moreover, by giving needles to addicts, we are also taking away from other programs that are already low on funding. The money for needle exchange would take away from Medicare programs that are there to help the elderly and disabled. There have already been enough Medicare cuts without the extra cuts this would bring about.

                   Then, you also have the problem of some who will not use the needles and will keep reusing the needles they’ve already had. Most addicts are too far gone to worry about whether they reuse a needle or not, and many do not care about their chances of catching an infectious disease.

                    In the early 1980’s, insulin and allergy syringes could be bought in any drugstore without
a prescription, so addicts had no problem obtaining needles if they had the money. Even though they did not need a prescription, they still continued to reuse needles and shared with others. Consequently, it led to the AIDS epidemic. In the early 1990’s, states started requiring that syringes be kept behind the counter in drugstores and prescriptions for syringes were needed. This was a way to cut down on illegal drug use and reusing of needles. This was also an effort to slow down the AIDS epidemic. It has not worked either, but the answer to the drug problem and the spread of diseases through used needles is not to equip addicts with tools with which to continue their illegal activities.

                    We must spend the money that the needle exchange program would cost in other areas to help stop the use of drugs altogether.

THE LUNGS

Breathing which is important to life happens automatically. Each day you breathe about 25,000 times. Breathing couldn’t happen without the help from respiratory systems, which includes the nose, throat, voice box, windpipe and lungs.

Your lungs are a pair of soft spongy bags inside your chest. When you breathe in, air rushes in through your nose or mouth, down your windpipe and into the millions of breathing airways in your lungs. The two biggest airways are called bronchi and they both branch into smaller airways called bronchioles. At the end of each bronchiole are bunches of minute air sacs called alveoli. There are around 300 million alveoli.

Alveoli are wrapped around with tiny blood vessels, and alveoli walls are just one cell thick. They are thin enough to let oxygen and carbon dioxide seep through them. Oxygen is the most important for keeping us alive because body cells need it for energy and growth. Carbon dioxide is the waste gas that is produced when carbon is combined with oxygen as part of the body’s energy-making process. The lungs and respiratory system allow oxygen in the air to be taken into our body, while also enabling the body to get rid of carbon dioxide in the air breathed out.

       I guess you are all familiar with lizards. Lizards belong to a group of 3,800 scaly-skinned reptiles. They cannot control their own body heat. Therefore, they rely on sunshine for warmth. This is why they live in warm climates and bask in the sun for hours each day. You know, lizards can move in many different ways: running, scampering and slithering. Some can glide. And . . . unlike mammals, their limbs stick out sideways rather than downwards.

       Most lizards lay eggs; although, a few give birth to live young. But unlike birds or mammals, a mother lizard does not nurture or . . . look after her young. Most lizards are meat eaters. They feed on insects and other small creatures.

       Now, here’s the weather forecast for the next
twenty-four hours for Scotland and Northern Ireland. There’ll be heavy rain and maybe some snow during afternoon, and on the hills temperatures will drop to below freezing, minus four or five, and on the highest spots minus ten. Over much of Scotland it will be cloudy, and windy too as the cold front moves in over the Atlantic. Northern Ireland can expect the same, but the rain will end before dark. But again very cold, with temperatures not going above freezing. And that’s all from me.

       Your brain is as big as your two fists side by side. It’s the place where you think, learn, work out problems, remember, feel happy and sad, wonder,

worry, have ideas, sleep and dream.

       Yet the brain looks like a wrinkly lump of
grey-pink jelly! On average, it weighs about
1.4 kilograms. It doesn’t move, but its amazing nerve activity uses up one-fifth of all the energy needed by the body.

       The main part of the brain is its bulging, wrinkled upper part, the cerebrum. Different areas of its surface (cerebral cortex) deal with nerve signals to and from different parts of the body. For example, messages from the eyes pass to the lower rear part of the cerebrum, called the visual center. They are sorted here as the brain cells work out what the eyes are seeing. There are also areas for touch, hearing, taste and other body processes.

       The cerebellum is the rounded, wrinkled part at the back of the brain. It processes messages from the motor center, sorting and coordinating them in great detail, to send to the body’s hundreds of muscles. This is how we learn skilled, precise movements such as writing, cycling or playing music (or all three), almost without thinking.

       The brain stem is the lower part of the brain, where it joins the body’s main nerve, the spinal cord. The brain stem controls basic processes vital

for life, like breathing, heartbeat, digesting food and removing wastes.

       The brain really does have ‘brain waves’. Every second it receives, sorts and sends millions of nerve signals. Special pads attached to the head can detect these tiny electrical pulses. They are shown on a screen or paper strip as wavy lines called an EEG, electro-encephalogram.
