Sasha – My Pet Dog

Meet my lovely pet dog, Sasha. My father adopted her when she was a little baby.
She came in like a blessing for our family. She belongs to the breed of Labrador. Sasha
is pure coal black. She comes in as a puppy with her cute little paws and eyes. Sasha is
medium-sized. We couldn’t stop gushing over this beauty. To get maximum time to play with
Sasha, my siblings often fight each other.
As Sasha grows up, she learns various tricks. We train her to follow our instructions. She
even learns a few tricks. We love showing her off to our friends and relatives. I always take
Sasha out as she loves taking a walk on the road.
My siblings and I take on the responsibility of keeping Sasha clean. Every week, we take
turns to bathe and brush her nicely. Sasha shows her gratitude by wagging her short tail in
excitement. Sasha has been with us through ups and downs. We will forever be indebted to her
for her loyalty.
Little did we know that our lives would change forever after her entrance.

We began our visit by observing the children’s activities. They did many things
independently. They prepared meals, cleaned their rooms, washed the dishes and clothes by
themselves. As my friends and I helped the children washing clothes, they were shocked
looking at us. The host told us that they had never seen white people washing clothes
before!

The best impression of the program was being able to meet such incredible people
and lifelong friends. As a solo traveler, I really learned who I am and how to interact and
understand people. I felt that the program enabled me to behave more as locals. I was also
able to explore their life. I had such an amazing moment and I can’t wait to explore the world

Made memories we knew would never fade

Your wild heart will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you're afraid"

So, live a life you will remember"

Carve your name into those shining stars"

Read the following text.

Once upon a time, there was a lion that grew so old. He could not kill any prey for his
food. So, he said to himself, ―I must do something to get food or I will die of starvation.‖
He kept thinking and thinking. Finally, an idea clicked him. He decided to lie down in
the cave pretending to be ill. Whoever coming to inquire about his health, he would become
his prey. The old lion put his wicked plan into practice and it started working. Many of his
well-wishers got killed. But evil is short lived.
One day, a fox came to visit the lion. As foxes are clever by nature, the fox stood at
the mouth of the cave and looked about. His sixth sense worked. He came to know the
reality. So, he called out to the lion from outside. ―How are you, Sir?‖
The lion replied, ―I am not feeling well at all. But why don’t you come inside?‖
The fox replied, ―I would love to come in, Sir! But I see all footprints going to your
cave and none coming out. So, I would be foolish enough to come in.‖
Saying so, the fox went to alert the other animals.

Crocodiles are lizard-like animals. They are the largest living reptiles and related to
alligators.
Crocodiles are found in parts of Asia, Africa, Australia, and America. Most live in
swamps, lakes, and rivers in hot and warm regions. Some live in the ocean. Although
they spend most of their time in water, they also travel on land.
Crocodiles vary greatly in size. The dwarf crocodile measures only 1.8 meters in
length. On the other hand, the estuarine crocodile may grow to more than 6 meters.
Crocodiles’ tough skin are composed of many large plates and scales. They have
narrow, pointed, v-shaped snouts. Many large teeth stick out of both the top and
bottom jaw of a crocodile’s closed mouth.

Roland Gainer is a-22-year-old student. One day he rode an Uber taxi. At that time he
wanted to go to a location to meet his friends. However, during the trip, Roland learned
something about his taxi driver, Kenneth Broskey (69).
Kenneth had a cancer in several parts of his body. His doctors told him that he had only
10 weeks to live. Roland was even more touched when Kenneth told him the reason why he
must continue working. Kenneth had to afford his medical check-up fee. He also had to raise his
daughter and grandchildren.
“I want to give my daughter and son enough money. When I die, I don’t want they lose
the house.” Kenneth told Ronald.
Soon Ronald decided to create a fundraiser called “Go Fun Me” for Kenneth. Within five
days, Ronald managed to collect 100,000 US dollars. The money was enough for Kenneth to
pay off the house fees. Until now, Ronald admitted that he still meets Kenneth occasionally. He
felt inspired by Kenneth’s fighting spirit.

Cyber stalking is a form of harassment. It involves the use of the Internet and
digital technology to frighten and intimidate someone. Stalkers tend to continually

There are three types of cyber stalking: email stalking, Internet stalking, and
computer stalking. Email stalking is sending threatening emails and spam. Internet
stalking is tracking the target’s movements on online platforms and spreading

collect evidence of stalking for example: phone calls, messages, and emails. After
that, the collected evidence can be used as the attachment to report the stalking to
the police. Lastly, tell other people such as family and friends about the stalker.

Once a fox was roaming around in the dark. Unfortunately, he fell into a well. He tried
his best to come out but all in vain. So, he had no other alternatives. So, he had to remain
there until the next morning. The next day, a goat came that way. She peeped into the well
and saw the fox there. The goat asked, “What are you doing there, Mr. Fox?”
The sly fox replied, “I came here to drink water. It is the best I have ever tasted. Come
and see for yourself.” Without thinking even for a while, the goat jumped into the well,
quenched her thirst and looked for a way to get out. But just like the fox, she also found
herself helpless to come out.
Then the fox said, “I have an idea. You stand on your hind legs. I’ll climb on your head
and get out. Then I will help you come out too.” The goat was innocent enough to understand
the shrewdness of the fox. She did as the fox said and helped him get out of the well.
While walking away, the fox said, “If you had been intelligent enough, you would never
have got in without seeing how to get out.”

Leopard is a wild cat of Africa and Asia. They are sometimes called panthers. The
scientific name of the leopard is Panthera Pardus. They are found in forests, deserts,
grasslands, mountains, and rocky places. They are skilled climbers and good swimmers.

An average leopard weighs between 50 and 90 kilograms. It is about 2 meters long,

not including the long tail. Some leopards grow much larger. Most leopards have yellow fur
on the back and white fur underneath. Dark spots cover much of the body. The size and
spacing of the spots are different in different types of leopards.

Leopards are fierce predators that hunt mainly at night. Their prey includes antelope,
deer, dogs, and baboons. Leopards also eat cattle and may attack humans. Sometimes
they drag their prey high into a tree to protect it from other animals.

The holiday was coming. At first, I did not know how to spend my long holiday. I did not have any
plans because my parents were very busy. My father was finishing his project, while my mother
was taking care of my little brother. He was just six months old. Therefore, he needed her attention
more.

Fortunately, one of my elementary schoolmates, Umar, did not have any plans either. His house is
only two blocks from mine. So, we spent the holiday together. During the holiday, he came to my
house almost every day.

We did a lot of things. On the first day, we rode bicycle and went around the city. We stopped at
some shops and enjoyed window-shopping. On the second day, I taught Umar how to play futsal.
We spent three days just to get him able to dribble well. In the last two days, we visited museums
in our city, Sonobudoyo Museum and Yogyakarta Palace Train Museum. We got new knowledge by
watching the displayed collections.

Volcanic Eruptions

A volcanic eruption is the release of molten rock, or magma, and volcanic gases through Earth's
crust to the surface. Magma is formed when the earth's mantle melts. It is driven to erupt by
buoyancy because it is lighter than the surrounding rock. Gases within the magma are under great
pressure and force magma upwards. Runny magma erupts through openings or vents in the earth's
crust before flowing onto its surface as lava.
An eruption may last from a few minutes to days. An eruption may be only a discharge of steam
and gases through a small vent or a spectacular explosion that shoots gases and debris into the sky.
The explosiveness of an eruption depends on a great extent of the composition of the molten rock.
Magma high in silica will be more viscous than one low in silica. A high-viscosity magma will tend to
trap dissolved gases. The pressure of the gases can build up to the point where they are released in
a spontaneous explosive eruption. A less viscous magma allows volcanic gases to bubble through
more easily and results in outpourings of lava.
The length of an eruption is described as an eruptive pulse, eruptive phase, or eruptive episode.
An eruptive pulse is a very short event lasting for a few seconds to minutes. An eruption that lasts a
few hours to days and consists of numerous eruptive pulses is called an eruptive phase. Eruptions
that involve repeated pulses and phases over days, months, or years is an eruptive episode.

morning, he took a walk to the lake near his house. He saw something very shiny on the bank
of the lake. He came to the object and took it. It was a beautiful golden hedgehog statue. He
then brought it home.
At night, the farmer had a dream. The statue talked to him, “I will give you everything you
need with one condition to help the needy. Just caress my head and say the spell. There are
two kinds of spells, one is to start your wish and the second is to stop. Just memorize the
spells.” In the next day, the farmer proved it. The farmer caressed the statue‟s head. He said
the spell and asked for rice. Suddenly, rice came out from the mouth of the statue. The rice
kept on flowing out from the statue‟s mouth until the farmer said the spell to stop it. The farmer
became wealthy and it made him more generous.
One day, a greedy man from another village came to the farmer‟s house. He asked the
farmer to lend the statue because of the drought in his village. The farmer agreed and lent the
statue to the man. He taught the man the spells needed. Having arrived at his village, the man
caressed the hedgehog statue and said the spell. Water came out of the statue‟s mouth. The
greedy man sold the water to the people needed. The statue was angry with the man and it

MY LAPTOP
We all have things that are important to us. Some of us love books, some others like
clothes, but something that is most special to me is my laptop.
It was a gift from my parents. They bought it for me two years ago when I started junior
high. This gift represents the love my parents have for me and their wish for my success. It is
their way of encouraging and motivating me to try my best in school.
My laptop is white. Its screen is 14 inch wide. It is a product of the best laptop brand in
USA. It weighs less than a regular laptop does and is only 2 inches thick. It has two USB ports,
audio speakers, and memory card slots built in. It is an everyday laptop that can store enough
data needed by a student like me.
Before my laptop, I had a desktop computer. I love my laptop more than my old desktop
because I can carry it to school or when I travel away from home. I use it mostly for all of my
presentations and assignments as well as for googling things. I also read online novels, listen
to music, play games, and communicate with friends using my laptop. My laptop enriches me
intellectually and socially.
Technology has changed our civilization, in business, education, and in countless other
ways. But for me the most important technology is my laptop, a gift from my parents.

One Saturday evening Tony and I were going to visit our friend by riding bicycle. As usual, I
gave him a ride because he didn‟t have bike. Since my bike didn‟t have any back-saddle, he sat
on the front horizontal bar of my bicycle. We passed a quite difficult path to get to our friend‟s
house. It was a slippery and wet gravel path. Although it was wobbling along all the way, we
could manage this rough ride.
Our misfortune started as we passed by a stream. I was going too close to the bank. I didn‟t
realize that the rain had made the ground softer than usual. Suddenly, the soil slid and we were
instantly tumbling head over heels into the stream. We both plunged into one meter-depth dirty
brown water stream. Even though the water prevented us from getting severely injured, we
gulped some of it. It was so horrible. Sadly, we both had few cuts and bruises all over our body.
We tried to get out of the water and pulled our bike out of the stream. Then, we calmed
ourselves down on the side of it for a while. We were definitely in a poor condition to visit anyone
so we decided to go home. Since the wheel of the bicycle was bent out of shape, we couldn‟t ride
it and I had to push it along the way home. From that moment, I promised myself not to carry
anyone on a bicycle anymore.

MILKY SEAS EFFECT

Milky seas, also called mareel, is a shining phenomenon in the ocean in which large
areas of seawater appear to varying shades of blue. Such occurrences glow brightly enough
at night to be visible from satellites orbiting Earth.
In the 1800s sailors had no understanding and assumed milky sea phenomenon was
caused by something terrible. According to BBC Earth, sailors described it as something that
looks like milk or clouds that stretch for many square miles.
To this day, there is only one documented encounter with the milky sea. In 1985 a
research vessel in Arabian Sea took water samples of the glowing water and found that the
bacteria called Vibrio harveyi was causing the glow on the water‟s surface. Professor Miller
wrote that this bacteria works differently than the dinoflagellates that cause bioluminescence
close to shore. Instead, it is like a light switch turns on in the luminous bacteria when their
population gets large enough at about 100 million individual cells per milliliter of water. The
luminescent glow is concentrated on the surface of the ocean and does not mix evenly
throughout the water column.
Now, milky seas can easily be spotted using artificial satellites that study Earth.
Biologists know that milky seas could be happening in many parts of the oceans all the time,
and using satellites will help them track and monitor these glowing phenomena.

Here‟s how you turn your imagination into a finished design in minutes with Canva.
1. Choose the right dimensions for your design.
To begin, choose your design type from the Canva homepage. These are set to the
optimal dimensions for each graphic, whether it‟s a social media post, flyer, or more.
2. Choose a background.
Choose the right background color. Remember that different colors tell different stories.
If you decide to add background images to your design, make sure that they support
the message of the content. If there's too much going on in the background, it‟s hard to
overlay things like text or illustrations.
3. Add your elements.
Your design might include text, icons, photos, or illustrations. These need to be
combined in a way that is visually appealing. Don‟t overload your design with too many
elements, as it can confuse the visual message of the image. Keep it simple.
4. Choose the right fonts.
The look of your fonts can have a huge impact on your design. Don‟t use more than two
fonts in a design, as too many fonts make a design look “messy”. Pick fonts that look
good together.

JAKA TARUB AND DEWI NAWANG WULAN

Once upon a time, there lived a woman commonly called Mbok Randa, he had a foster
child named Jaka Tarub. He was a handsome man. His hobby was hunting.

One day when he was hunting as usual he saw beautiful goddesses taking a bath in the
river. Stunned by their look, his lust drove him to quietly approach the pile of women
clothing left at the riverbank and stole a piece of dress. When the goddess finished their
bath, they found out that one of their dresses went missing. It was belonged to Nawang
Wulan the fairest goddess of them all. They began their frantic search, because the dress
isn‘t an ordinary dress. It‘s a magical dress that allows the Goddesses to fly to the heaven
every full moon.

Jaka Tarub noticed the search, and suspecting they would find him in his hiding place, he
decided to make a bold move. Instead of running away, he revealed himself suddenly. He
successfully scared the goddesses, leaving the last goddess naked in the river. Then he
pretended to be a gentleman, surrendering his own clothes to the goddess. Impressed by
the human‘s ‗kindness‘, the Goddess then followed him to his house, where they eventually
live as man and wife.

Jaka Tarub wasn‘t a particularly outstanding man. He was a completely ordinary human
being, but Nawang Wulan was a Goddess. She was described to have an ability to turn a
single grain of rice into plenty of cooked rice to feed the family. She gave birth to a beautiful
demigod named Nawangsih. When she finally found out where Jaka Tarub kept her dress,
she left him and returned to the heavens but she came back to breastfeed her infant

core. The crust and the mantle form a lithosphere. It is made up of tectonic plates. The
plates are constantly moving and it can make stresses on the crust.

as the tectonic plates are moving. When there is a sudden movement of the crust in the
fault line, the earthquake happens.
The epicenter is the point or the center of an earthquake. However, the shaking can
be felt miles away from the center.

Social media is a big part of many teens' lives. A 2018 Pew Research Center survey of
nearly 750 13- to 17-year-olds found that 45% are online almost constantly and 97% use
a social media platform, such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat.
Social media allows teens to create online identities, communicate with others and build
social networks. These networks can provide teens with valuable support, especially
helping those who experience exclusion or have disabilities or chronic illnesses.
Teens also use social media for entertainment and self-expression. And the platforms
can expose teens to current events, allow them to interact across geographic barriers
and teach them about a variety of subjects, including healthy behaviors. Social media
that's humorous or distracting or provides a meaningful connection to peers and a wide
social network might even help teens avoid depression.
However, social media use can also negatively affect teens, distracting them, disrupting
their sleep, and exposing them to bullying, rumor spreading, unrealistic views of other
people's lives and peer pressure.
The risks might be related to how much social media teens use. A 2019 study of more
than 6,500 12- to 15-year-olds in the U.S. found that those who spent more than three
hours a day using social media might be at heightened risk for mental health problems.
Another 2019 study of more than 12,000 13- to 16-year-olds in England found that using
social media more than three times a day predicted poor mental health and well-being in
teens.

This text to answer questions number 32.
Social media is a big part of many teens' lives. A 2018 Pew Research Center survey of
nearly 750 13- to 17-year-olds found that 45% are online almost constantly and 97% use
a social media platform, such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat.
Social media allows teens to create online identities, communicate with others and build
social networks. These networks can provide teens with valuable support, especially
helping those who experience exclusion or have disabilities or chronic illnesses.
Teens also use social media for entertainment and self-expression. And the platforms
can expose teens to current events, allow them to interact across geographic barriers
and teach them about a variety of subjects, including healthy behaviors. Social media
that's humorous or distracting or provides a meaningful connection to peers and a wide
social network might even help teens avoid depression.
However, social media use can also negatively affect teens, distracting them, disrupting
their sleep, and exposing them to bullying, rumor spreading, unrealistic views of other
people's lives and peer pressure.
The risks might be related to how much social media teens use. A 2019 study of more
than 6,500 12- to 15-year-olds in the U.S. found that those who spent more than three
hours a day using social media might be at heightened risk for mental health problems.
Another 2019 study of more than 12,000 13- to 16-year-olds in England found that using
social media more than three times a day predicted poor mental health and well-being in
teens.

I loved spicy foods so much. I ate them for my breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in
between them. When I didn’t taste a hint of chili in my food, I wouldn’t even bother
finishing it. Until one week ago, I was almost hospitalized for putting too much chili in my
meatballs.

I was eating a bowl of my favourite meatball and put way too many spoons of sambal into
it. My stomach felt like it was on fire on the next day and I got. I thought my stomach ache
would slowly leave me after I let my food out but it turned out that I had more painful
stomach ache after. I felt like stomach gave up on me and I almost did the same thing. My
dad asked me to check my condition in the hospital but my mom told me to let my food
out one more time. I chose to did what my mom suggested, hoping it would work because
if it wouldn’t, I would have to follow my dad’s suggestion. It took time, but my stomach
ache felt more bearable than before. Finally, after almost an hour, I was completely
stomach ache-free.

My parents went strict on what I am eating after that day. They made me promise myself
not to eat anymore crazy amount of spicy food. Not that I completely quit on eating them,
but I have been reducing my consumption of them. I am still learning not to eat spicy food
anytime I want. It’s hard, but for the sake of my health, I am doing it anyway.

oceans. This usually happens when the earthquakes are exceeding magnitude 7 on the
Richter scale.
An earthquake in the bowels of the earth will result in the emergence of pressure to the
vertical direction so that the bottom of the sea will rise and fall in a short time span. This will
lead to an imbalance in the ocean water which is then pushed into a large wave that moves
reached the mainland.
With the great power of the waves, the buildings on the mainland can be washed away
easily. The tsunami waves propagate at speeds unimaginable. It can reach 500 to 1000
kilometers per hour at sea. And when it reaches the shore, the speed is reduced to 50 to 30
kilometers per hour. However, it is able to cause severe damage to humans.

How to use a digital front load washing machine
1. Dose correctly.
Follow the instructions on the packaging of your laundry detergent, like Ariel Matic Liquid.
The dose will depend on how much washing you’re doing, how dirty it is, and how hard
the water is in your area. Pour the detergent into the drawer of the washing machine.
2. Load the laundry.
Open the door and place the laundry in the machine. Make sure you don’t overfill the
machine – you can test this by putting one hand in. If your palm doesn’t fit, take some of
the garments out.
3. Choose the temperature.
Pick the right temperature based on the instructions on the garment’s fabric care label.
4. Select the right spin cycle.
Based on the guidance on your garment’s fabric care label, choose the cycle on the
machine. Delicate fabrics, like silk, need to go on a slower cycle, whereas more durable
items, such as cotton, can go on a faster cycle.
5. Close the door and press go.
Once you’ve set the cycle, press the start button and let your washing machine do the
work.
6. Unload clothes
from the washing machine as soon as possible to keep your laundry fresh.

Hallyu, is a Chinese word literally translating as “Korean Wave”. It refers to the
transcendence and increasing popularity of South Korean cultural exports, firstly picked up
by countries such as China and Japan, and now more recognisably across Western
countries too.
Today, the South Korean culture influences most consumer goods categories, from skincare
to our choice of snacks. And it’s not simply products that consumers are engaging with.
Clearly consumer demand for all things Korean is at an all-time high. But why has the South
Korean culture trend become so popular in the Western world?
South Korea’s Ministry of Culture embarked on a mission to strengthen local culture within
Korea and build on their own talents. This saw the government invest heavily in the creative
industries, creating 300 culture-based departments in universities across Korea.
Studios began producing high-quality Korean films and K-dramas very cheaply. These
addictive dramas started airing in China before sweeping across the Western world. This
was the start of Hallyu spreading globally, piquing the curiosity and capturing the imagination
of the 90s generation
Then thanks to social media and the explosion of YouTube, the South Korean culture was
propelled onto the global mainstage through the medium of K-pop. With its catchy sounds,
edgy fashion and carefully choreographed dance routines, it soon attracted global fans.
But Hallyu isn’t limited to TV and music. South Korean fashion, games, comics, food, alcohol
and cosmetics are all sweeping across the world.

The name „Dieng‟ which literally translates as „abode of the Gods‟ says all you
need to know about this collection small ancient temples set in the remarkable
volcanic landscape of the Dieng Plateau. The misty location, sulphureous springs and
coloured lakes truly make this a place of natural wonder and cultural significance.
The temples are remnants from the glorious period of the Hindu empire in Java
dating back to the 7th and 8th centuries. Standing on a plateau 2,000 meters (6,500
ft) above sea level, it is the extraordinary setting of these temples which make them
most remarkable. Each of the small temples is named after figures in the epic tale of
the Mahabarata such as Bima, Gatutkaca, Arjuna and Srikandi. It is believed that
these temples used to serve as residences of Hindu priests who would spread Hindu
teachings. This place was chosen as the sacred location because of the spectacular
landscape.
The natural splendours of this location are fascinating. On the way up, visitors
pass through tobacco plantations and beautiful mountain scenery. Once visitors have
walked to the top of the Dieng plateau, they will feel like they are on top of the
world. For a truly amazing spectacle, visitors should arrive at the plateau at sunrise
to see a „golden‟ and „silver‟ sunrise. While sadly, the impact of logging can be seen
as many of the trees surrounding the lake have been cut down, it still remains an
impressive natural phenomenon.

The following text is for question 8.

It was twenty years ago when I was 13 and I was in the eighth grade. It was
my first year in middle school.
In my exact class, there were 19 students. Nine of those students were girls
and the rest made the boys. All of the girls in that class were friends. Most of them
knew each other from primary school, so I was basically the only new one who
didn't know anyone there. But still, I was greeted as though we were all long time-
friends. They made me feel welcomed.
So, it was my birthday and, a few days before my birthday, they'd coincidentally
asked me when it was just out of curiosity, so I told them. They were surprised and
excited but when I told them I wasn't planning on celebrating it, they made up a
decision.
My birthday came and I was convinced they'd forgotten. I thought they were
probably just kidding and they weren't really making a big deal out of it. But, I was
wrong. They‟d made a cake and they'd taken it to school. It was actually a pretty
good cake too. They had asked a teacher if we could please stay inside a classroom
during lunch so we could eat and celebrate it and he said it was totally fine.
I was so excited when I came home and told my mom about it. Even she
almost cried. She said she was just so happy to see me smiling because I'd never, in
my entire life before that, been excited after school.

The Frog and the Mouse
One day, the frog invited the mouse to his house, but the mouse said that he
didn‟t know how to swim and he was afraid of being drowned.
“Dear mouse, I come to your house all the time. Now, I invite you to mine!”
said the frog.
“I would love to my dear friend,” the mouse replied, “but your house is across
the stream. I don‟t know how to swim and I am afraid I will drown.”
“Don‟t worry, I have a plan. You can climb on my back and I can tie you to me
with a strong blade of grass. That way, you will be safe to cross the stream, “said
the frog.
To this, the mouse immediately agreed and set forth. But, halfway across the
steam, however, the frog started to get wicked thoughts. He thought that he would
get all the mouse‟s food stock if he was to let the mouse drown. So, the wicked frog
dived for the bottom of the stream.
The mouse realizing too late the betrayal of the frog started to cry for help.
“Help me! Help me!” cried the mouse.
A hawk flying above the stream saw the scene and swooped down upon the
mouse. The hawk picked him up with its beak and started to fly high into the sky.
The frog tied to the mouse was also taken away.
The frog realized his mistake. In his greed to get more food, he had not only

The following text is for question 19.

Some of the Earth's grandest mountains are composite volcanoes--sometimes
called stratovolcanoes. They are typically steep-sided, symmetrical cones of large
dimension built of alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, cinders, blocks, and
bombs and may rise as much as 8,000 feet above their bases. Some of the most
conspicuous and beautiful mountains in the world are composite volcanoes, including
Mount Fuji in Japan, Mount Cotopaxi in Ecuador, Mount Shasta in California, Mount
Hood in Oregon, and Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainier in Washington.
Most composite volcanoes have a crater at the summit which contains a
central vent or a clustered group of vents. Lavas either flow through breaks in the
crater wall or issue from fissures on the flanks of the cone. Lava, solidified within the
fissures, forms dikes that act as ribs which greatly strengthen the cone.
The essential feature of a composite volcano is a conduit system through
which magma from a reservoir deep in the Earth's crust rises to the surface. The
volcano is built up by the accumulation of material erupted through the conduit and
increases in size as lava, cinders, ash, etc., are added to its slopes.

PPAD Bahasa Inggris 12

When a composite volcano becomes dormant, erosion begins to destroy the
cone. As the cone is stripped away, the hardened magma filling the conduit (the
volcanic plug) and fissures (the dikes) becomes exposed, and it too is slowly reduced
by erosion. Finally, all that remains is the plug and dike complex projecting above
the land surface--a telltale remnant of the vanished volcano.

The following text is for question 21.
Some of the Earth's grandest mountains are composite volcanoes--sometimes
called stratovolcanoes. They are typically steep-sided, symmetrical cones of large
dimension built of alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, cinders, blocks, and
bombs and may rise as much as 8,000 feet above their bases. Some of the most
conspicuous and beautiful mountains in the world are composite volcanoes, including
Mount Fuji in Japan, Mount Cotopaxi in Ecuador, Mount Shasta in California, Mount
Hood in Oregon, and Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainier in Washington.
Most composite volcanoes have a crater at the summit which contains a
central vent or a clustered group of vents. Lavas either flow through breaks in the
crater wall or issue from fissures on the flanks of the cone. Lava, solidified within the
fissures, forms dikes that act as ribs which greatly strengthen the cone.
The essential feature of a composite volcano is a conduit system through
which magma from a reservoir deep in the Earth's crust rises to the surface. The
volcano is built up by the accumulation of material erupted through the conduit and
increases in size as lava, cinders, ash, etc., are added to its slopes.
When a composite volcano becomes dormant, erosion begins to destroy the
cone. As the cone is stripped away, the hardened magma filling the conduit (the
volcanic plug) and fissures (the dikes) becomes exposed, and it too is slowly reduced
by erosion. Finally, all that remains is the plug and dike complex projecting above
the land surface--a telltale remnant of the vanished volcano.

Once there were two boys who were great friends, and they were determined
to remain that way forever. When they grew up and got married, they built their
houses facing one another. There was a small path that formed a border between
their farms.
One day, a trickster from the village decided to play a trick on them. He
dressed himself in a two-color coat that was divided down the middle. So, one side
of the coat was red, and the other side was blue.
The trickster wore this coat and walked along the narrow path between the
houses of the two friends. They were each working opposite each other in their
fields. The trickster made enough noise as he passed them to make sure that each
of them would look up and see him passing.
At the end of the day, one friend said to the other, "Wasn't that a beautiful
red coat that man was wearing today?"
"No", the other replied. "It was a blue coat."
"I saw the man clearly as he walked between us!" said the first, "His coat was
red."
"You are wrong!" said the other man, "I saw it too, and it was blue."
"I know what I saw!" insisted the first man. "The coat was red!"
"You don't know anything," the second man replied angrily. "It was blue!"
They kept arguing about this over and over, insulted each other, and
eventually, they began to beat each other and roll around on the ground.
Just then, the trickster returned and faced the two men, who were punching
and kicking each other and shouting, "Our friendship is OVER!"
The trickster walked directly in front of them, and showed them his coat. He
laughed at their silly fight. The two friends saw this, his coat was red on one side
and blue on the other.
The two friends stopped fighting and screamed at the trickster saying, "We
have lived side by side like brothers all our lives, and it is all your fault that we are
fighting. You have started a war between us."
"Don't blame me for the battle," replied the trickster. "I did not make you
fight. Both of you are wrong, and both of you are right. Yes, what each one saw
was true. You are fighting because you only looked at my coat from your own
point of view."

In the mountains of south-central Peru stands Machu Picchu, a deserted city of the
Inca people. The name Machu Picchu means “old peak” in the language of the Inca. The
dwellings at the site were probably built and occupied from the mid-1400s to the early or
mid-1500s.
Machu Picchu is located about 80 kilometers northwest of the city of Cuzco, which was
the capital of the Inca Empire. It lies between two sharp peaks in the eastern Andes
Mountains, at a height of 2,350 meters. Mountain forest surrounds the site.
Machu Picchu is divided into two sections, one farming and one urban. The farming
section is made up of steplike fields called terraces. The Inca used the terraces for growing
crops such as corn and sweet potatoes. The urban section has plazas, temples, houses, and
a cemetery. They are connected by walkways and thousands of stone steps.
Most of the structures are very well preserved because of the quality of Incan
engineering and stonework. One notable structure is the Temple of the Sun. Once a year
sunlight shines through a window onto the middle of a large stone. This stone was a sort of
calendar. Another famous structure is a pillar known as the Intihuatana. The pillar was
probably used to keep track of the seasons.

On a solo trip to Yangshuo, China, I decided to visit the nearby water caves.
I don‟t remember why I decided to go so late in the day, but a local bus and another
smaller bus got me there only after 4pm, just before the caves closed. Believe it or not,
there were no other visitors at that time and I had the tour guide all to myself.
My luck came to an end though as soon as I got out of the caves, as I discovered there
was no bus going back to Yangshuo on that day.
Keep in mind, this was in the countryside — about 10 kilometers away from Yangshuo. It
would take me two-to-three hours to walk back along a road.
I ran around asking everyone I could find about possible buses, having to resort to my
broken Mandarin. A young Chinese couple saw the desperate look on my face and offered to
take me back. I was over the moon! Since they only had their scooter with them, the three
of us all hopped on it and rode to Yangshuo.
I‟ll never forget the awkwardness of sitting at the back of a scooter with two strangers
and at the same time the warm feeling of coming across such kindness. Riding scooters in
groups larger than two is against the law in the area. So, they risked getting a fine by taking
me on board, too!

smaller bus got me there only after 4pm, just before the caves closed. Believe it or not,
there were no other visitors at that time and I had the tour guide all to myself.
My luck came to an end though as soon as I got out of the caves, as I discovered there
was no bus going back to Yangshuo on that day.
Keep in mind, this was in the countryside — about 10 kilometers away from Yangshuo. It
would take me two-to-three hours to walk back along a road.
I ran around asking everyone I could find about possible buses, having to resort to my
broken Mandarin. A young Chinese couple saw the desperate look on my face and offered to
take me back. I was over the moon! Since they only had their scooter with them, the three
of us all hopped on it and rode to Yangshuo.
I‟ll never forget the awkwardness of sitting at the back of a scooter with two strangers
and at the same time the warm feeling of coming across such kindness. Riding scooters in
groups larger than two is against the law in the area. So, they risked getting a fine by taking
me on board, too!

Two women were fighting over a child. The poor child was too young to speak. Villagers
who were watching this drama did not know whom to believe. They took them to a wise
man.
The wise man drew a line on the ground. He asked the two women to stand on either
side of the line, and placed the child in the middle. As instructed by the wise man, one
woman held the child‟s left hand and the other, his right hand.
“Both of you need to pull the child to your side. The child belongs to whoever drags him
over to her side.” said the wise man.
The first woman pulled the child hard with all her might. As the child cried in pain, the
other woman, let him go.
“He is mine,” the first woman shouted in triumph, even as the other woman broke down
in tears.
“Who do you think loves the child more? She who pulled the child to her side or the one
who let the child go?” asked the man to the villagers.

The wise man took the child away from the first woman. “Only a mother can have a

Read the following text.

The plant known as ginger is valued for its
underground stem. This stem, called the rhizome, is
used as a spice to flavor items such as gingerbread,
ginger sauces, and ginger ale. Ginger is also sometimes
used to treat stomach problems such as motion
sickness.
Ginger is believed to have been grown first in
south-eastern Asia. It has been used in India and China
since ancient times. By the 1st century, traders had
taken ginger into the region of the Mediterranean Sea. From there it spreads throughout
Europe and then to the Americas. Today, ginger is grown in many tropical and mild areas of
the world.
The leafy stems of the ginger plant reach a height of about 1 meter. The leaves are 15
to 30 centimeters long. The plant produces small, yellow-green and purple flowers. New
ginger plants can be grown by planting material cut from the root.
As a spice, ginger has a slightly biting taste. Some people cook with the fresh rhizome,
called green ginger. Usually, however, ginger is dried and ground before use. Rhizomes are
lifted from the soil and cleaned before being left in the Sun to dry. Dried ginger roots vary in
color from dark yellow through light brown.

The hounds will stay in chains
Look upon Your Greatness and She'll

Their skin in craters like the moon
The moon we love like a brother
While he glows through the room
Dancin' around the lies we tell
Dancin' around big eyes as well, ah

Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know we're on each other's team

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Once, there was a boy who became bored when he watched over the village sheep
grazing on the hillside. To entertain himself, he sang out.
“Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep.”
When the villagers heard the cry, they came running up the hill to drive the wolf
away. But, when they arrived, they saw no wolf. The boy was amused when seeing them
angry.
Later, the shepherd boy cried out once again. To his amusement, he looked on as the
villagers came running up the hill to scare the wolf away.
As they saw no wolf, they said strictly, “Save your frightened cry for when there really
is a wolf.
Later, the boy saw a real wolf sneaking around his flock. Alarmed, he jumped on his
feet and cried out as loud as he could. But, the villagers thought he was fooling them
again, so they didn‟t come to help.
At sunset, the villagers went looking for the boy who hadn‟t returned home with the
sheep. When they went up the hill, they found him weeping.

Last week, I got invited to a friend's graduation brunch at a restaurant, Kiki on the River.
It was my first restaurant visit during the covid19 pandemic. The first thing that wowed me
was the atmosphere and beautiful decoration. As the name suggests, it is located right on
the Miami river.
In keeping with regulations, the tables were set six feet apart from each other. Both the
staff and everyone not sitting at a table were wearing masks. The staff cleaned and replaced
tablecloths between sets of diners. Upon entry, our temperatures were taken, and no more
than four or five persons were seated at a table. Another safety precaution they took was
having the menus available via QR codes. We scanned it with a phone camera and a PDF
file of the menus would appear.
The open-air atmosphere made it a pleasant experience. From our table, we saw both
normal sized boats, and huge cargo ships pass by as they cruised down the Miami river. To
eat, I had seared tuna with a side of roasted mixed vegetables. The tuna was prepared
medium rare. Everyone at the table was talking about how flavorful the food was, and we all
agreed that it was some of the best restaurant food we had in a while.
Overall, my experience eating at a restaurant during a pandemic was positive. It gives
me a deeper appreciation for people who work in the service industry, and I thank them for all
that they do in trying to protect everyone.

Cosplay
Cosplay is the act of dressing up as a character of a movie, game or comic. People
who do it regularly are called cosplayers. Cosplayers may also go above and beyond
copying their character‟s outfits. They might even role-play as the characters, copying their
mannerisms and gestures.
The term „cosplay‟ appeared in the 1980s. Its practice has its roots in early 15th
century carnivals, where people dressed up as objects, concepts, famous historical figures,
or popular characters from fiction or stage plays. Cosplay started at the 1st World Science
Fiction Convention. Contemporary cosplay follows in this tradition and is often done at
comic or pop culture conventions, like at San Diego Comic Conventions.
Now, with shows like Marvel's Wanda Vision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier,
cosplay is becoming more and more mainstream.
One of the aims of cosplay is to portray a character. You can do this accurately by
copying a character‟s exact look, down to the details. You can also put your own creative
spin on it. Cosplayers achieve their looks through a mixture of costumes and properties
such as wigs, and accessories.

19. “Cosplayers may also go above and beyond copying their character‟s outfits.”

A. accessory

The Mice once called a meeting to decide on a plan to free themselves of their enemy, the
Cat. At least they wished to find some ways of knowing when she was coming, so they might

is to hang a bell about the Cat's neck. When we hear the bell ringing we will know
immediately that our enemy is coming."
