Bullying is the use of force or coercion to abuse or intimidate others.

The behaviour can be

habitual and involve an imbalance of social or physical power. It can include verbal
harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and may be directed repeatedly towards
particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability. The
victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a "target".Bullying can occur in any context in
which human beings interact with each other. This includes school, church, family, the
workplace, home, and neighbourhoods. Bullying is absolutely wrong for several reasons.

First, nobody wants to get bullied. Imagine if you or your family member is one who is being
bullied. What do you think will happen to him/her? Nobody wants to live his/her life like a
frightened rabbit, right?

Second, the victims can take revenge by telling their parents, teachers, or even your principal
about what you have done to them, and surely, you will be in very, very big trouble.

Finally, bullying can result in very serious consequences. Maybe it is done for fun, but the
victims can consider it as a deeply traumatic experience that can lead to depression or even
suicide. When that happens, surely you will forever be regretful.

From the facts above, it is clear that bullying is wrong, and it only brings negative impacts.

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been serious problem for three
reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimens and experiments.
Formalin in Biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant
or to preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservatives. Of course when it is used
for food preservative, it will be very dangerous to human’s body.
The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This condition makes the
people’s health is really in a threat. When the control is weak and the use formalin was spread wide
all over the Indonesian regions, and these days it has really happened, the citizen’s bodies will be
badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their products which contain
formalin and dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our digestive system absorbs the
substance that should be for the human and animal corpses?
Considering the reasons, we can make a conclusion that the use of formalin and other preservatives
is really a serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.

The government should provide a rehabilitation Program for Drug Users

Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the main
things they should get. Instead of punishing drug users in prisons, the government
should provide rehabilitation for them.

Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from
consuming the drugs. Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them
out from traps, which they might accidentally step on.

If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the problem as
drug users will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed on them.

Providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing them to participate in the
programs is better than only arresting them and doing nothing to their illness. Only
drug dealers, traffickers, and wholesalers should be imprisoned.

14. Most drug users get drugs from ...

 A. Jails

B. Peddlers

C. Traffickers

D. Wholesalers

15. Sending drug users to prison is not a good solution because ...

A. They can't consume harmful drugs.

B. They are treated normally.

C. They may still be infected with harmful drugs.

D. They can be freed as soon as possible.

Everybody should change their way of life to reduce global warming. There are
several things that we can do.

One of them is by buying and consuming fresh local groceries as much as possible. It
of course includes local vegetables, fruits, bread, etc.

Local groceries don’t need much transportation to get into the market. It of course
means, the amount of carbon dioxide produced is less than the groceries from another
region. Therefore, by buying local groceries we are helping reduce the amount of
carbon dioxide produced.

Consuming fresh groceries instead of frozen ones is healthier for us. Furthermore,
fresh food or groceries means no requirements for it to be frozen up. It means that no
electricity is needed and saving energy means reducing carbon dioxide and money.

So, from now on we should consume fresh local groceries to reduce global warming.

16. The text gives us information about ...

A. The ways to minimize global warming.

B. The ways to increase global warming.

C. The effects of global warming.

 D. The importance of consuming local groceries.

 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
your English progress. Some underlying reason 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 heard 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 sample text. The fact that they
are effective makes them many times more motivating than other text. 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, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purposE. Most pop
songs and probably many other types 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 yeas, 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 elaboration above, it can be concluded that learning through music and
songs, learning English can be enjoyable and fun.

School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. The
uniform of a school may differ from others. Why should schools use uniforms? Below
are some reasons.
First of all, Notre Dame’s Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998
concerning school uniforms. Their findings using 10th grade students showed that
uniforms have no direct effect on “substance abuse, behavioral problems or
attendancE.” It also claimed a negative effect on student achievements for those
students considered ‘pro-school’.
Secondly, uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of
belonging to a particular community. As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive
up academic standards, which is why a uniform is often adopted by schools which are
being reopened with a fresh start after being classified as failing.
Finally, uniform acts as a social leveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes
of the school and of each other. In institutions without uniform students are often
competitive and worry endlessly about their appearance and the clothes they should
wear. Pupils without expensive designer clothes and trainers may be singled out as
social outcasts, or stigmatized as being from poor backgrounds. For these reasons
many parents prefer uniforms as they save them money on buying clothes for school
wear. Considering the findings, schools should implement the uniform as their
 identity. The government should also publish some kind of rule which makes uniform
compulsory for schools.
