Banking was inconvenient and time consuming. Today, we have lots of options when it comes to financial transactions. But how secure is mobile banking? Is it safe to make financial transactions using an app or text messaging, or by visiting a mobile Web site? 1. Keep Track of Your Mobile Device Mobile devices can contain everything from passwords to contact lists to our calendar appointments. Information like that can be dangerous if your mobile device falls into the wrong hands. If your device has a digital locking mechanism you should use it. Some devices require you to trace a pattern or insert a PIN. While it might slow you down to have to enter a PIN each time you want to use your phone, that layer of security might be enough to keep a thief from accessing your bank account before you can report your phone as missing. 2. Use Official Bank Apps When Possible Many banks now offer official applications in smartphone and tablet app stores. In general, these apps tend to be more secure than sending information by SMS message or e-mail. Most banks go to great lengths to make sure any information sent across a network by an app is encrypted. 3. Avoid Banking While on Public Networks Many mobile devices allow you to connect to different types of networks, including Wi-Fi networks. You might be tempted to check your balance or make some transfers while you grab a quick drink at a coffee shop. But before you log into your account, make sure you're not connected to the public network. 4. Don't Follow Links Never follow a banking link sent to you in a text message or e-mail. These links could potentially lead you to a spoofed Web site. If you enter your information into such a site, you've just handed that data over to thieves. How does the text benefit the readers? It gives information about ….

Gili Trawangan is around thirty minutes boat ride from the northwest mainland of Lombok and regular daily fast boats depart Bali directly to Trawangan Island and all boats stop off at Teluk Nare on mainland Lombok as part of the return journey. The beaches of the Gilis are still powdery white, the water a beautiful clear blue and they are positioned perfectly for sunsets over Bali’s Mt Agung and sunrise over Lombok’s Mt Rinjani. Thirty years ago the Gili islands were uninhabited and only discovered by the seafaring Bugis people from Sulawesi. It was only a matter of time before the more adventurous backpacker types discovered the islands and developed Trawangan into a hippy party paradise destination. Gili Trawangan now identifies itself as a great holiday destination suitable for families of all ages. Various new hotels, luxury villas, and boutique bungalows now cater to children and offer good value. Some have baby-sitting services, and with lots of activities on the islands families are sure to enjoy their beach holidays to the full. Unique to the Gili all forms of motorized transport are still not allowed – meaning the only way to get around is on foot, by bicycle and in pony carts known as Cidomos. It’s possible to follow the beach around the perimeter of the island in around two hours on foot. The most popular stretches of beaches are `Goodheart’ (the main stretch) and `North Beach’ where the best snorkeling is to be found. Hawkers are not so much of an issue on Gili Trawangan as in Bali; you’re likely to attract a friendly conversation from the locals rather than a hardcore sales pitch. After rading reading this text, the readers are expected to ….

On 26 October 1945, Brigadier A. W. S. Mallaby reached an agreement with Mr Suryo, the Republic of Indonesia’s governor of East Java, that the British would not ask Indonesian troops/militia to hand over their weapons. An apparent misunderstanding about the agreement between British troops in Jakarta (lead by Lieutenant General Sir Philip Christison) and Mallaby’s troops in Surabaya was to have serious ramifications. The Allied forces arrived at the end of October 1945, and fighting broke out on 30 October after the British commander, Brigadier A. W. S. Mallaby was killed in a skirmish. The British retaliated with a punitive sweep that began on 10 November, under the cover of air attacks. Bung Tomo spurred thousands of Indonesians to action with his distinctive, emotional speaking-style of his radio broadcasts. Although the Colonial forces largely captured the city in three days, the poorly armed Republicans fought for three weeks. Despite the military defeat suffered by the Republican fighters and a loss of manpower and weaponry that would severely hamper Republican forces for the rest of the revolution, the battle and defense mounted by the Indonesians roused 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. What event is the main reason the battle of Surabaya occurred?

The murder of Brigadier A. W. S. Mallaby

The British movement over Indonesia

Bung Tomo’s provocation to the battle

The arrival of Allied forces in Surabaya

Long time ago, things on this Earth were bigger and better than they are today. Fruits, Vegetables, grains, even people animals were bigger and stronger. Those were the days when people didn’t have to work very hard. When the grains of rice were ripe, they just fell down on their own and went rolling into the village. There they would offer themselves to be eaten. Once, an old woman and her daughter were building a storehouse for rice. A big grain of rice came rolling in before the building was ready. Being already tired of hard work, the old woman became angry when she saw the grain of rice rolling down to her incomplete storehouse. She kicked the rice and said” Could you not wait in the field till we were ready? Why do you keep running after us?” The grain of rice broke into thousands of pieces and said” We have always been kind to you. We give you food to eat. We make things easy for you so we come to you ourselves and don’t give you trouble of collecting us in field. From now on, we will not come to you. You will have to come and gather us. You will have to cook and eat a lot of grains of rice to fill your stomach.” From that day on wards, rice grains have become smaller in size. They do not come to people as they used to come earlier. People have to gather grains from the fields and carry them to their stores and homes. According to the story, why didn’t people have to work hard to get food at that time?

The grains fell down and went rolling into the village.

The grains of rice were ripe enough to eat.

Fruits, vegetables and grains were very big

People were bigger and stronger than they are today

Things on earth were bigger than they are today

People have to gather grains from the fields and carry them to their stores and homes. How are paragraph 3 and 4 related?

The old woman’s cruel conduct to the grain of rice in paragraph 3 was immediately responded by the rice grain in paragraph 4.

Both paragraphs are about how the old woman and her daughter treated the grain of rice which were rolling to their incomplete store house.

Both paragraphs show how the old woman and her daughter built a store house for rice and their treatment to the rice that were rolling down to their store house.

Paragraph 3 is about the storehouse for rice built by the old woman and her daughter; paragraph 4 is about the rice gathered from the field.

The old woman’s behavior towards the rolling grain of rice in paragraph 3 made it break into thousands of pieces in paragraph 4.

Global warming is one of the most serious concerns at present. Due to global warming, the average temperature of the earth is rising day by day. It is not only affecting the lives of humans on earth but also have an impact on other living organisms. The main causes of global warming is deforestation and greenhouse effect. The forests act as the lungs for the people on earth as they create lots of oxygen which are required by humans for breathing. They capture harmful carbon dioxide from the air. The deforestation leads to the increase in the level of carbon that consecutively results in increasing global temperatures. Greenhouse gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, water vapor, etc., redirect emission which the earth releases. In the absence of such gases, earth might become too cold to sustain any life. The human activities like the burning of fossil fuels, emissions from the vehicles, etc., are increasing greenhouse gases in the air that result in the rise of the earth’s temperature. Global warming has impacted the ocean on earth. Due to global warming, the ice and snow worldwide is getting melted at rapid speed in comparison to the past. Lots of sea ice has also vanished in different parts of the world. Global warming makes the dry regions drier than earlier. It has affected the pattern of rainfall in a few areas. Global warming is causing lots of problems for humans on earth but we should not forget that we humans are responsible for its occurrence. It is our duty to take care of our earth so that our future generation does not get affected by the problem of global warming. What is the aim of the text above?

To assure the readers that global warming causes a lot of problems

To persuade the readers that global warming should be overcome.

To remind the readers to be aware of the danger of global warming.

To argue the readers about the causes and bad impact of global warming.

To convince the readers to learn the causes of global warming and its impact

Forests produce oxygen needed by human to breathe.

Tsunamis are giant waves caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea. The waves travel inland, they build up to higher and higher heights as the depth of the ocean decreases. The speed of tsunami waves depends on ocean depth rather than the distance from the source of the wave. Tsunami waves may travel as fast as jet planes over deep waters, only slowing down when reaching shallow waters. The tsunami also often mistaken as a tidal wave. This is because when it reaches the mainland, this wave is more like a high tide than usual resemble waves that reach the shore naturally by the wind. However, the actual tsunami wave has nothing to do with the events of the tide. Therefore, to avoid misinterpretation, oceanographers often use the term seismic sea waves to refer to the tsunami, which is scientifically more accurate. Tsunamis occur when a major fault under the ocean floor suddenly slips. The displaced rock pushes water above it like a giant paddle, producing powerful water waves at the ocean surface. The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the earthquake source and move across the ocean until they reach the coastline, where their height increases as they reach the continental shelf, the part of the Earth’s crust that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor up to the land. Tsunamis wash ashore with often disastrous effects such as severe flooding, loss of lives due to drowning, and damage to property What is the author’s intent to write the text?

To describe scientifically how and why tsunamis occur to the readers

To give forewarning to the readers that a tsunami causes a calamity

To explain how a tsunami occurs and how to cope with it to the readers.

To give the readers illustration of the most dangerous natural phenomenon.

Jakarta. The East Nusa Tenggara provincial government is developing an online ticketing system for the Komodo National Park, the world’s remaining natural habitat of Komodo dragons, and proposing a year long pass to an island with biggest Komodo population for foreign visitors at $1,000, a spokesman said on Sunday. Targeted to run next year, the online booking system is meant to attract more foreign visitors to the island and increase the regional government’s tourism revenues. "We are preparing a ticket payment technology for the Komodo Island. The system will be connected to banks for easy payment by foreign visitors, starting next year," government spokesman Marius Ardu Jelamu said in the provincial capital of Kupang. Foreign visitors will be offered with premium passes but they must pay $1,000, which he said was ‘very cheap’. "The $1,000 entry pass is very cheap for a foreigner visiting the Komodo Island, one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature. A rare creature like Komodo has its price,” he said. “The pass is valid for one year and the holder may come anytime during the period,” he said. The online ticketing will be developed jointly with provincial government-owned Bank NTT, he added. The government targeted 50,000 foreign visits to the island and a revenue of at least Rp 600 billion ($42.5 million) a year. The Komodo National Park comprises three islands and is home to more than 2,800 Komodo dragons. The Komodo Island has the biggest population of the world's largest lizards named after the island. According to the government’s latest data, the island is home to 1,727 Komodo dragons.

This Is Me
by Keala Settle

I am not a stranger to the dark
Hide away, they say
'Cause we don't want your broken parts
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
Run away, they say
No one'll love you as you are
But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades
And reaching for the sun
(We are the warriors)
Yeah, that’s what we’ve become

What message does the song express?

Be strong and fight the foes who hurt you

Show them that we cannot be insulted

Be confident and never let other people lower us

Be ourselves and give hands to people who need help

Show them who we are and never hide our identity

The event is going to start in April, and we still have enough time for the preparation. Unfortunately, we still have some problems with the facilities such as volleyball court, futsal field and basketball hall. There are some holes and cracks in the field.
