become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The
tower is the tallest building in Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world; millions of
people ascend it every year.
Named for its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch to
the 1889 World's Fair.The tower stands 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-
story building. Upon its completion, it surpassed the Washington Monument to assume the title of
tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years, until the Chrysler Building in New
York City was built in 1930; however, due to the addition in 1957 of the antenna, the tower is now
taller than the Chrysler Building. Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure
in France after the 2004 Millau Viaduct.
The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be purchased to ascend, by stairs or lift,
to the first and second levels. The walk to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the first
to the second level. The third and highest level is accessible only by elevator. Both the first and
second levels feature restaurants.
The tower has become the most prominent symbol of both Paris and France, often in the
establishing shot of films set in the city.

Battle of Surabaya
The Battle of Surabaya was fought between pro-independence Indonesian soldiers and militia against
British and British Indian troops as a part of the Indonesian National Revolution.
The peak of the battle was in November 1945. The battle was the heaviest single battle of the revolution
and became a national symbol of Indonesian resistance. Fighting broke out on 30 October after the
British commander, Brigadier A. W. S. Mallaby was killed in a skirmish. Although the Colonial forces
largely captured the city in three days, the poorly armed Republicans fought for three weeks, and
thousands died as the population fled to the countryside.
The battle and defence mounted by the Indonesians galvanised the nation in support of independence
and helped garner international attention. For the Dutch, it removed any doubt that the Republic was not
simply a gang of collaborators without popular support. It also had the effect of convincing Britain that
wisdom lay on the side of neutrality in the revolution; within a few years, in fact, Britain would support the
Republican cause in the United Nations.
Considered a heroic effort by Indonesians, the battle helped galvanise Indonesian and international
support for Indonesian independence. 10 November is celebrated annually as Heroes’ Day.

Brahmana and Syiwa sanctuaries, on the grounds that Wisnu sanctuary is
being remodeled. On Saturday morning we went to Yogya Kraton. We spent
around two hours there. We were fortunate on the grounds that we were
driven by a brilliant and amicable aide. At that point we proceeded with our

How much do you drink water today? Water is often considered insignificant but behind it all, it turns
out that water has important functions for our body. There are several reasons why you should drink
enough water. Firstly, interstitial fluid is obtained by drinking lots of water. Water is used by the body to
digest food and help transport nutrients throughout the body. In addition, interstitial fluid is also useful
for producing saliva and regulating body temperature.
The second reason is that it helps kidney work. Our kidney processes 200 liters of blood in our body
every day. It also filters out waste and delivers urine to the bladder. To do all the tasks, our kidney needs
enough water because water is used to clean anything that is unnecessary for our body. Furthermore,
drinking water can moisturize our skin. It makes our skin feel fresh, soft, bright and smooth.
Additionally, drinking enough water every day can also improve the function of our brain. It can help us
to concentrate more and unlease the nervous system in the brain. In conclusion, drinking water is
important because it is needed for our interstitial fluid, helps kidney work, is good for healty skin, and
improves the function of our brain.

In Australia there are three levels of governments, the federal government, state governments and local
governments. All of these levels of government are necessary. This is so for number of reasons. First, the
federal government is necessary for the big things. They keep the economy in order and look after like
defensE. Similarly, the state governments look after the middle sized things. For example they look after
law and order, preventing things like vandalism in school. Finally, local government look after the small
thins. They look after things like collecting rubbish, otherwise everyone would have diseasE. Thus for the
reason above, we can conclude that the three levels of the government are necessary.
There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculturE. Pesticides which are commonly used may
cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most effective way
to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the soil
which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and stronger
ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects the
ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen and
applied carefully so that they don’t affect the ecological balance and environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in agriculture
and livestock.

Stress among student can be caused by interpersonal which includes the factor like
relationships with family and friend or because of the academic itself. Workload of college,
difficult tests, and other academic obstacles may also lead to stress. Thus, stress among
students can be dangerous for several reasons. Firstly, major negative effect of stress is on
emotional health.
Emotional health problem is more dangerous than physical health problem because it can
lead to most disastrous effects of all that is committing suicide. Emotional or mental health
is an expression of our emotions and signifies a failure adaptation to the range of demands
in life. The stressful life events can lead to all the failure just by conquering our mind. Thus,
it is very important to maintain our mental and emotional health because once our emotional
health was disturbed, it can lead to various of diseases such as depression, anxiety,

Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for skateboarders to
skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active, energetic and adventurous
pastime.
Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of skaters speeding up

as they struggle home carrying their cat food from supermarkets.
Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young people’s health. It increases fitness,
improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and ankles. Although it appears to be a
solo sport, when groups practice together and compete to perform stunts or runs they form
firm friendships.

Skin
Skin is the outer layer of the body. In human being, it is the largest organ of the system that
covers our body. Our skin has a function to protect our body from infection and extreme
temperatures, maintain fluid balance, and synthesize vitamin D for our personal needs.
Skin has three main layers, which are Epidermis, Dermis, and Hypodermis that have their
respective tasks and need each other. The Epidermis layer is the outermost layer of the
skin. This layer does not contain blood vessels, and is formed from Merkel cells,
keratinocytes, with melanocytes and Langerhans cells. Under the Epidermis layer, there is
Dermis layer. This layer contains hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, apocrine
glands, lymphatic vessels and blood vessels. This layer is connected to the Epidermis layer
with the basement membrane. Structurally, this layer is divided into two regions, which are
the region next to the epidermis called the Papillary region, and the thick inner region that is
known as the Reticular region. Furthermore, there is Hypodermis layer which located below
the Dermis layer. This layer is known as Subcutaneous tissue. Hypodermis serves to attach
the skin to the underlying bone and muscle and supply them with blood vessels and nerves.
The combination of these three main layers has an average thickness of 1 mm.

Butterfly Metamorphosis
To grow into an adult, butterflies go through 4 stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult.
Depending on the type of butterfly, the life cycle of a butterfly may take anywhere from one
month to a whole year.
A butterfly starts life as a very small, round, oval or cylindrical egg. The egg hatches and the
young one called larvae or caterpillar comes out of the egg. The caterpillar first feeds on the
egg shell from which it is born. It then starts feeding on the leaves and starts to grow. Its
exoskeleton (skin) does not stretch or grow, so it grows by “molting” (sheding the outgrown
skin) several times while it grows. As soon as a caterpillar is done growing and it has
reached its full length/weight, it forms itself into a pupa, also known as a chrysalis. The pupa
remains motionless in the chrysalis. In the chrysalis, the pupa undergoes a series of
changes. After about 15 days, a beautiful adult butterfly emerges out of the chrysalis. When
the butterfly comes out, it’s wings are small and wet, then the butterfly pumps fluids into
them to make them strong and to expand. After a few hours, the wings become strong
enough and the butterfly is able to fly.

wire-based telephone system. Cellulars are pick up by the towers and relayed to another cellular
telephone user or the user of wire-based telephone network.
the towers vary in the capacity and capability to receive signals. Some can receive the signal from short
distance and the others can receive more distance. However, there are usually more than one tower in
certain given area so that the system can handle the increasing telephone traffic.

Long, long ago, when the gods and goddesses used to mingle in the affairs of mortals, there was a small
kingdom on the slope of Mount Wayang in West Java. The King, named Sang Prabu, was a wise man.
He had an only daughter, called Princess Teja Nirmala, who was famous for her beauty but she was not
married. One day Sang Prabu made up his mind to settle the matter by a show of strength.
After that, Prince of Blambangan, named Raden Begawan had won the competition. Unfortunately, the
wicked fairy, Princess Segara fell in love with Raden Begawan and used magic power to render him
unconscious and he forgot his wedding. When Sang Prabu was searching, Raden Begawan saw him and
soon realized that he had been enchanted by the wicked fairy. The fairy could not accept this, so she
killed Raden Begawan. When Princess Teja Nirmala heard this, she was very sad. So a nice fairy took
her to the Kahyangan.

Ki Hadjar Dewantoro
Ki Hadjar Dewantoro was the founder of the Taman Siswa school system, an
influential and widespread network of schools that encouraged modernization
but also promoted indigenous Indonesian culture. He felt that education was the
best means to strengthen Indonesians.
The first Taman Siswa schools were established in Java in July 1922. Instruction,
carried on informally, emphasized traditional skills and values of Javanese life,
particularly music and dance. Western subjects were taught, too, in order to help
students cope with the demands of modern life. Based on traditional Javanese
concepts, the Taman Siswa schools appealed primarily to those segments of
Indonesian society termed abangan, in which the Islamic faith is less deeply
entrenched.
Ki Hadjar Dewantorodied on April 26, 1959, at. Yogyakarta. Upon his death he
was acclaimed a national hero.

DIRECT AND INDIRECT SENTENCES
Direct Speech is sentence words that are spoken directly by the speaker.
Indirect Speech (Indirect Sentence) is a sentence that is spoken to report the speaker's words to others.
So, Indirect Speech (Reported Speech) is used when we want to report someone's words to others
indirectly.
3. Tenses
Direct Indirect
Simple present - simple past
Simple past
- past perfect
Present perfect
Present continous - past continous
Present perfect continous - past perfect continous
Simple future - past future
I. STATEMENT
In the Indirect Statement we use the word that (that) as a link between the introductory sentence
(introduce phrase) and the words that are reported (reported words). The introductory sentences in the
indirect statement are:
He said
He said to me that + reported words
He told me
Example :
1. Mary told her friends “I have been to Bali twice.”
Mary told her friends that she had been to Bali twice.
2. Father said “I am going out of town tomorrow”
Father said that he was going out of town the following day.
Example :
- John says “I will go to Bandung tomorrow”
- John says that he will go to Bandung tomorrow
II. QUESTION
When direct questions use question words such as; Where, When, Why, What, Who, How, etc.,
then these words are used as a link in reported Speech. Reported questions turn out to be
positive. The introductory sentence is:
He asked me where
When etc.
Example :
- I asked him : “When did you get back from your trip ?”
- I asked him when he had got back from his trip.
III. If direct questions do not use question words, and only in the form of
"Yes & No Question", then we use the words if, whether (if, whether) as a link
Example :

IF CONDITIONAL SENTENCES
• Conditional Sentences are also known as Conditional Clauses or If Clauses. They are used to
express that the action in the main clause (without if) can only take place if a certain condition
(in the clause with if) is fulfilled.
a. Conditional Clause
The conditional clause is a dependent clause beginning with “if.” All
conditional sentences have a clause beginning with “if” because it
expresses the conditions (what must or might have happen), like this:
If you want
If I am late to school
If you don’t do your homework
If I hadn’t eaten so much candy
b. Main Clause
The main clause is what provides the rest of the information to
complete a conditional sentence. It’s an independent clause that
states the result of the conditional “if” clause. In other words, it’s the
“then” part of an if/then situation. In these examples, the main clauses
are orange.
If you want, I can go with you to the store.
If I am late to school, I will get detention.
If I don’t do my homework, the teacher yells.
If I hadn’t eaten so much candy, I might be hungry.
First Conditional
The first conditional shares the result of situation in the future that we
think is pretty likely to happen. Its form uses a conditional clause in
the present simple, and the main clause in the future tense. The main
clause will use a modal, like would, should, could, will, may, might, or can.
First Examples:
Second Example :
S – To Be S – Will – Verb 1
If you are not hurry you will miss the train
Second Conditional
The second conditional shows possible outcomes that could occur in
the present or future, if specific conditions exist. To put it simply,
First Example :
Third Conditional
