3.22 Analytical Exposition

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.

Why is formalin dangerous for human`s body?

• It is not food preservatives

• It is a disinfectant for human beings

• It is used to preserve biological specimens

• It is 10% solution of formaldehyde in water

The main idea of paragraph two is ....

• The human`s bodies will be harmful after consuming the formalin

• The government has not controlled the use of formalin firmly

• The weak control of using formalin is not threatening the human

• The human`s bodies will be harmful after consuming the formalin

Based on the facts above, the writer suggest that ... .

• People have to avoid consuming formalin in their food

• The use of formal dehyde is necessary to control the food

• People should add 100% solution of formaldehyde in water

• The food preservative is required to make the food delicious

Antibiotic is a drug produced by certain microbes. Antibiotics destroy other microbes that damage human tissues. They are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, including gonorrhea, tonsillitis, and tuberculosis.

Antibiotics are sometimes called “Wonder drugs” because they can cure diseases such as meningitis, pneumonia, and scarlet fever. But, when the antibiotics are overused or misused, these drugs make a person sensitive being attacked by a superbug.

Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous microbes. If a drug destroys too many harmless microorganism, the pathogenic ones (the dangerous microbes) will have a greater chance to multiply. This situation often leads to the development of a new infection called suprainfection.

Extensive use of some antibiotics may damage organs and tissues. For example, streptomycin, which is used to treat tuberculosis, has caused kidney damage and deafness.

Resistance to antibiotics may be ecquired by pathogenic microbes. The resistant microbes transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes and cause them to become resistant. During antibiotic treatment, non-resistant microbes are destroyed, but resistant types survive and multiply.

To avoid the side effect of antibiotics, you’d better not urge your doctor to prescribe antibiotics. Keep in mind that antibiotics are only useful for bacterial infections and have no effect on viruses, so they cannot be used for chicken pox, measles, and other viral diseases.

Which diseases cannot be cured by antibiotics?

• Tonsillitis

• Meningitis

• Chicken pox

• Tuberculosis

What are discussed in paragraph two and four?

• Both paragraphs tell about the effects of misusing antibiotics

• Both paragraphs explain how antibiotics damage organs and tissues

• Paragraph two tells what causes the pathogenic microbes multiply and paragraph four tells how the un-resistant microbes become resistant

• Paragraph two tells how antibiotics destroy harmless microbes and paragraph four describes how the pathogenic microbes transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes

Choose one from the following which is not the effect of using antibiotics improperly?

• Organs and tissues are damaged

• The pathogenic microbes multiply

• Harmless microorganisms are destroyed

• Pathogenic microbes become nonresistant

Apartments Offer Practical Living

The number of high-rise apartment buildings continues to mushroom not only in the center of the city but also in suburban areas. This shows that many Indonesian enjoy living in apartments. This is true for a number of reasons.

In the first place, people prefer to live in an apartment because it is located near strategic areas. They can save time and energy as they don’t have to experience terrible traffic jam.

In addition, they enjoy the new life style because an apartment offers comfort and privacy so they don’t have to worry about the city’s high crime rate as most apartments have 24-hour security systems.

Moreover, people now enjoy practicality and this is reflected in the design of their place. Living rooms become smaller and a veranda is no longer considered an important part of the house.

From the facts above, it is clear that apartments offer practical living which thus make them must-rooming.

According to paragraph two, what does an apartment offer?

• Comfort

• Security

• Practicality

• Privacy

From the facts above, it is clear that apartments offer practical living which thus make them must-rooming.

It can be inferred from the text that ....

• Many Indonesian people right now enjoy living in a small house

• Practicality means security

• People prefer living in an apartment because it is located near office areas

• Living in an apartment creates practical lifestyle
