The Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower is an iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris. Built in 1889, it has
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.

Example

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.

The Importance of Drinking Water

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.

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.

4. Which of the following is not directly affected by pesticides used?


A. Plants
B. Ecology
C. Animals.
D. Environment.
E. Human Beings

Why Students Should Manage Their Stress

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,
emotional eating, anger and so on.

The second disastrous effect of stress to an individual especially students is on academic


performance. Actually this effect affected students beyond their thinking. Once they are in
stress they have difficulty to concentrate on their study and finally their result will ruin
because they cannot do well in their exams. That is how their academic performance shows
such negative improvement from day to day because they cannot manage their stress well.
Therefore, stress can be dangerous to student’s life. For those reasons, it is better that we
should find the causes of stress which we are going through, know the bad effect that we
may face and take actions to manage it.

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.

Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizards (the scaled
group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along. Snakes are not
slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin is hard and glossy to
reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.

need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.

the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and in old logs.

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.

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.

Direct & Indirect Speech Type :


I. Statement (pernyataan)
II. Question (pertanyaan)

Changes that need to be from Direct to Indirect Speech:

1. To be & Auxiliary Verbs


Direct Indirect
Am/is/are - was/were
Shall/will - should/would
Can - could
May - might
Must
Have/has to - had to
Ought to

2. Time & Place


Direct Indirect
now - then
tomorrow - the following day
next week - the following week
tonight - that night
today - that day
yesterday - the day before
last night - the night before
last week - the week before,
the precious week
here - there
this - that
these - those

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.

3. Mary told John “my father warned me last night”


Mary told John that her father had arned her the night before.
If the introductory sentence is in the form of a Simple Present Tense, then the sentence reported
does not change.

Example :
- John says “I will go to Bandung tomorrow”
- John says that he will go to Bandung tomorrow

- Mary says “I have seen that film”


- Mary says that she has seen that film.

- My brother says “I met Tom at the party last night”


- My brother says that he met Tom at the party last night.

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 :

- The man asked me : “Where do you live ?”


- The man asked me where I lived.

- John asked Mary : “Why do you get angry with me ?”


- John asked Mary why she got angry with him.

- 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

between the introductory sentence and the questions reported.

Example :

- The boy asked John : “Does Mary live near here?”


- The boy asked John if Mary lived near there.

- The teacher asked her : “Have you finish your homework ?”


- The teacher asked her if he had finished her homework.

- Mary asked me : “Did you she John at the party the night before.
- Mary asked me whether I had seen John at the party the night before.

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.

Parts of Conditional Sentences

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

if + Simple Present – Present Future

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:

S – Verb 1 S – Will – Verb 1

If I study I will pass the exam.

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,

if + Simple Past – Past Future


second conditionals reflect ideas of “if you did this, this can happen.”
BUT, the “did” hasn’t actually happened yet, it’s just possible.

The second conditional’s form uses a conditional clause in the past


simple, and the main clause in the future tense, also using modals.

First Example :

S – Verb 2 S – Would – Verb 1

If I studied well my scores would increase


Second Example :
S – To Be (Were) S – Would – Verb 1
If I were you I would get my hair cut

Third Conditional

if + Past Perfect – Past Future Perfect

The third conditional lets us contemplate what could have happened if


things went differently in the past. It lets us reflect upon things in the
way of “if this had happened, this could have happened.”
First Example

S – Had – Verb 3 S – Would – Have – Verb 3


If I had studied harder I would have gotten a better job
Second example
S – Had – Been S – Would – Have – Verb 3
If the train had been late We would have missed our
appointment

CAUSE AND EFFECT SENTENCES

Cause and effect text is a type of paragraph that contains the author's analyzes of cause and effect. This
paragraph begins with the causes described at the beginning of the sentence and then drawn to a
general conclusion that is the result of the causes that have been described.

This cause and effect paragraph model is usually used in essay writing and text explanation. This is
because this model is considered to have a clear and structured flow of ideas

The words commonly used in cause and effect are:

1.Because
2.Because of
3.Nevertheless
4.However
5.Therefore
6.Consequently

1.Because(karena)

a.Independent clause + because + dependent clause


Example : Cika study hard because she wants to get the first rank at school.
b.Because + Dependent clause + Independent clause
Example :Because she wants to get the first rank at school, Cika study hard.
(Perhatikan penempatan tanda baca terutama koma)

2.Because of

Used to connect Independent clause and noun or noun phrase. Noun or noun phrase is a noun (phrase).
(Explanation of Independent clause is the same as above). There are 2 ways to make the cause and effect
sentence using Because of:

a. Independent clause + because of +noun or noun phrase

Example : Jessy got a stomachache because of this spicy rujak.


b. Because of + noun or noun phrase + Independent clause
Example :Because of this spicy rujak, Jessy got a stomachache.

3.Nevertheless(meskipun, namun)

Compilation rules:

1st sentence + Nevertheless + 2nd sentence


Example : Johan is sick. Nevertheless, he still go to school.

4.However(bagaimanapun)
Functioning to connect two opposite sentences between cause and effect (almost the same
usefulness as Nevertheless).

Compilation rules:

1st sentence + However + 2nd sentence


Example : My brother is a lazy student. However, he gets the first rank at school.

5.Therefore
Functioning to connect two sentences that are related and unidirectional (not opposite) between the
sentence of cause and effect sentence.

Compilation rules:

1st sentence + Therefore + 2nd sentence


Example : My sister is a diligent student. Therefore, she gets the first rank at school.
6.Consequently

Functioning to connect two sentences that are related and unidirectional (not opposite) between the
sentence of cause and effect sentence (almost as useful as Therefore). Compilation rules:
