NEW YORK (Routers Health)-Half of all heart patients made at least one medication-related mistake after leaving the hospital, and guidance from a pharmacist didn't seem to reduce those errors, in a new study. Consequences of mistakes- such as forgetting to take certain drugs or taking the wrong dose- can range from side effects like constipation to more serious drops in blood pressure. Two percents of errors were life-threatening. Not all of the problems, however, were the fault of the patients. Some may have resulted from medication side effects or other factors beyond the patients' control. Hospitals involved in the study were already taking steps to prevent medication mistakes in addition to the extra pharmacist intervention, said Dr. Sunil Kripalani, the study's lead author from the Vanderbilt University Medical Centre in Nashville, Tennessen. We were surprised to see that in spite of these efforts, that 50percent (of patients) were still having these medication errors," he told Reuters health. Although the pharmacist visits didn't help the average patient, he added, certain ones seemed to benefit - such as patients who were on multiple drugs or had trouble understanding health information. As for traditionally lower risk patients, he said other strategies to prevent errors may be needed. Adopted from: http:/in.reuters.com/article/us-heart-patients-idiNBRE8630KH20120704 What does the text tell us about .....

Try the following tips 1. Stay out of the sun during peak hours. While these times may vary slightly depending on the season and where you live. You should be indoors if all possible between 10:00 and 15:00. 2. Keep covered up. Floppy hats and large umbrellas work well and so do cover-ups. Long-sleeved cotton shirts are excellent for hiking, cycling etc; see your sports store for special brands that allow breathing as well as cover-up. 3. Use sunscreen on any exposed areas. An SPF of 45+ is recommended for it allows even the fairest skinned folks to stay out in the sun for a few hours before reapplying. Try chopstick on your lips. Follow the instructions on sunscreen carefully. Always reapply after leaving the water, as it’ll have washed off. 4. Don’t forget hard-to-reach places. Don’t forget to cover the backs of your knees, back of your neck, elbows and back of your ears (if you have short hair). Feet should also be included if you are wearing sandals, flip-flops or going bare-foot. Even these places can hurt a lot with sunburn. 5. Don’t lie in the sun purposefully seeking a tan. This is not only damaging to your skin but might burn you the first few times you try it at the beginning of the season. If you want to tan, do it gradually and sensibly, with short exposure and building up over time. 6. Put a small amount of oil or sunscreen in your hair so you will avoid burning your scalp.

In this science experiment we will make a miniature bolt of lightning using a balloon, piece of wool and some metal. We will explore static electricity and what causes lightning. We will learn about electrons, atoms, positive and negative charges. What to do: 1. Blow up the balloons. 2. Turn off the lights in a room at night and get it as dark as possible. 3. Rub the balloon rapidly against a piece of wool or wool sweater several times. This will give the balloon a negative charge as electrons jump from the wool to the balloon. When rubbing the wool against the balloon we are creating static electricity and saving it up in the balloon. 4. Move the balloon close to something metal like a filing cabinet or a door knob. 5. Watch for a flash or spark that jumps from the balloon to the metal object just like lighting. Please note: The humidity in the air can affect static electricity. If the air is damp, such as during the winter, then this experiment may not work. Adopted from: http://weirdsciencekids.com/MakeLightning.html (April 12, 2012) Why is the experiment carried out?

To study static electricity and the cause of lightning

To explore the advantages of static electricity.

To explain how a bolt of lightning is created.

To learn about the relationship between electrons and positive and negative charges.

To explain where and when we can see lightning.

Once upon a time, there was a fisherman named Batara Guru Sahala who lived in Batak land. One day, he caught a fish that could talk. The fish begged Sahala to set it free and he did accordingly. As soon as the fish was free, it changed into a woman. She was so beautiful that Sahala fell in love with her at once. He asked her to marry him. The woman agreed to marry Sahala, but in one condition: he had to keep the secret that she was once a fish. Sahala promised her that he would not tell anyone about it. They were happily married and had two daughters. Every morning Sahala went out fishing. His daughters would bring him his lunch. One day, however, instead of bringing the food to their father, the two girls ate it. When Sahala knew what they had done with the meal, he got very angry. He shouted at them saying, ”You behaved exactly like the daughters of a fish.” The girls did not understand what their father meant. They went home and asked their mother about it. Their mother was very annoyed. Although Sahala apologized to her later, she would not forgive him for breaking his promise. Sahala was so grief-striker that he decided to wander for the rest of his life. What does the story teach us about?

A man should keep his promise well

husband should be loyal to his wife

A man should take care of his family well

Children should pay respect to their parents

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to complain about an article in last Monday’s newspaper, “Schools fail low-income children”. As the Head teacher of one of the largest junior high, I feel strongly that the article does not describe our school. My school has children from many different economic backgrounds, but a large percentage come from lower-income families. Nevertheless, our tests show that the children do well and benefit from the excellent work our teacher do. Last year our school moved from the 24 th to 5 th place according to the official assessment by the state government. This clearly not the “failure” that the article suggests. I would strongly recommend that more careful research should be conducted in the future so that newspaper will more realistically describe the true situation in our school. Yours sincerely, Joan Gonzales What does the letter tell you about?

Complaint about the result of the unreal research.

Achievement of low-income children.

Different economic background students.

The failure of low-income students in study.

My Most Unforgettable Holiday
In 2015, I went to Derawan Island
with my friends and that marks my most memorable holiday ever!
In June, our school
was having summer holiday, so we thought to ourselves that it shouldn't go to
waste. We quickly browsed the internet to find a good holiday destination and
after an hour of heated debate, the four of us agreed to give Derawan Island
a try. It was purely out of curiousity as none of us had been there before.
We arrived at
Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at 05.30 a.m. as the flight was at 07.00
a.m. First, we flew to Balikpapan and waited for about an hour to continue
the flight to Berau. As soon as we touched down in Berau, my friend called
the tour agent that we had contacted earlier in Jakarta. They had got a car
ready to take us to Labuan Batu. From Labuan Batu, we took a speedboat for
about an hour to Derawan Island. It was such a long trip to Derawan but it
all paid off as soon as we saw how beautiful the island was.
My friends and I
were quickly ushered to our rooms in the resort. It was fantastic! The rooms
were in a cottage that was situated right above the sea. So we only had to
step out the terrace to find ourselves out in the open sea! After unpacking
our luggages and washing up, we went to the dining hall to grab our dinner.
The dinner was only simple seafood dishes. The surrounding totally enhanced the
dining experience, making the food taste much better.
The following day, we
took a speedboat tour, hopping from one island to another Our first trip stop
was Kakaban Island where we hiked to reach the lake and swam among stingless
jellyfish. The last time I heard, there were only three places in the world
that have stingless jellyfish; two of them in Indonesia! Isn't that great?
The next stop was the Sangalaki Island where we got to visit sea turtle
conservation and took lots of pictures with sea turtle babies. They were so
cute!
Our last stop was the
Maratua Island where we were able to feed fish and see a three-legged sea
turtle. The three-legged sea-turtle wasn't born that way. We were told that
it was swimming in the open sea when it was still a baby then its leg got
caught in plastic trash and couldn't grow even when the sea-turtle reached
adulthood. One of the island's guards saw the sea-turtle and saved it. He also
untangled the plastic trash that bound the sea-turtle's leg but it was too
late. Since then, the sea-turtle is kept in a special space next to the
resort in Maratua Island and the guards take turns feeding it to ensure its
survival. This is why we should never litter and endanger other creatures!
After Maratua Island, we headed back to Derawan Island to catch a late dinner
and turned in.
The following morning, we wake
up early and ate our breakfast in the dining room. Then, the driver drove us
back to the airport so we could catch a flight back to Jakarta. We arrived at
Jakarta, exhausted but terribly happy! It was the most unforgettable trip I
have ever experienced so far!

What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?

To share the readers the writer's most enjoyable experience

To inform to the readers about the beauty of Derawan Island

To invite readers to visit the holiday destination mentioned.

jellyfish. The last time I heard, there were only three places in the world
that have stingless jellyfish; two of them in Indonesia! Isn't that great?
The next stop was the Sangalaki Island where we got to visit sea turtle
conservation and took lots of pictures with sea turtle babies. They were so
cute!
Our last stop was the
Maratua Island where we were able to feed fish and see a three-legged sea
turtle. The three-legged sea-turtle wasn't born that way. We were told that
it was swimming in the open sea when it was still a baby then its leg got
caught in plastic trash and couldn't grow even when the sea-turtle reached
adulthood. One of the island's guards saw the sea-turtle and saved it. He also
untangled the plastic trash that bound the sea-turtle's leg but it was too
late. Since then, the sea-turtle is kept in a special space next to the
resort in Maratua Island and the guards take turns feeding it to ensure its
survival. This is why we should never litter and endanger other creatures!
After Maratua Island, we headed back to Derawan Island to catch a late dinner
and turned in.
The following morning, we wake
up early and ate our breakfast in the dining room. Then, the driver drove us
back to the airport so we could catch a flight back to Jakarta. We arrived at
Jakarta, exhausted but terribly happy! It was the most unforgettable trip I
have ever experienced so far!
