All human beings eat food and make use of the chemical energy in it, so do all other animals. Perhaps you wonder where all that chemical energy comes from. Why doesn’t the food all get used up?
The answer is that new food is being grown as fast as old food is used to. It is the green plants that form the new food. Animals either eat the plants or eat other animals that have eaten plants.
The green substance of plants is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll can absorb sunlight. When it does so, it changes the energy of the sun into chemical energy. The chemical energy present in sunlit chlorophyll is used to combine dioxide in the air with water from the soil. Starch and other complicated compounds are formed. These are high in chemical energy obtained from the sunlit chlorophyll.
They make up the food on which mankind and all other animals live. In the process of forming this food, some oxygen atoms are left over. These are given off into the air by the plants. The whole process is called photosynthesis.
Thus, plants use sunlight to from food and oxygen to from carbon dioxide and water again. Plants change the sun’s energy into chemical energy. And animals change the animal energy into kinetic and heat energy.
From the text we know that....
Plant need to heat energy to live
All human beings need chemical energy
Plants absorb sunlight to produce kinetic energy
Chlorophyll is the most important thing in photosynthesis
Sun’s energy cannot be formed into kinetic energy

Dear Diana,
Thank you for sending me a friendly letter. I am so glad that you asked me to be your pen pal. Of course I like it. So, let me tell you something about myself to make our friendship better. I think I’ll tell you my profile first because you have known my name. I have lived in California for 3 years, before that I lived in another USA state, Ohio. I was born on December 17th 1993. I’m in the same age with you, 16 years old. I’m a first semester student of California Senior High School. My hobbies are making handicraft, gardening, and listening to rap music.
That’s my little biodata. Then, let me tell you about my family. Honestly, I don’t have a big family. My family consists of my mother and my big brother. My father had passed away 5 years ago. My mother works at Snacks Company and my big brother studies in Californian College and does part time work in a supermarket. I enclose a photo of my family and many photos of California Visit Resorts. I hope you enjoy them. I also write my email address for you, here it is: alexa15@yahoo.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
Why did the writer tell about herself?
The writer wanted to exist.
The writer liked to introduce herself.
They have not known each other so well.
They wanted to meet each other someday
The writer promoted herself to be Diana’s friend.
Dear Jonathan,
Hello! How are you? I received your letter today. I am very excited to hear that you are coming to stay with me for the holidays. I am sure we will have a lot of fun together.
My parents have agreed to let you stay with me. They offered to pick you up at the airport. All you have to do is to tell us when you are coming.
I will now tell you about some of the things you will experience here in Indonesia. You do not have to worry about the local spicy food. We have a lot of fast food restaurants here like the ones you have in England.
You can also shop for souvenirs to bring home. Sarinah or Blok M is our famous shopping areas. They have many shops selling all kinds of things. I am sure you will love them.
I am also planning to take you to a few tourist spots like miniature of Indonesia, National monument, or Safari Garden. We can also go to the Ancol beach where you can swim, play on the beach, and have picnics.
My family and I are looking forward to your coming. I hope to hear from you soon. Good bye.
With love.

Biodiesel is a clean burning substitute for petroleum based diesel fuel. Biodiesel is made of vegetable oil.
To make or manufacture Biodiesel, you must first start with raw materials. The raw materials needed in the production of Biodiesel are a small amount of methanol and a ready supply of vegetable product. One of the most common vegetables used in the production of Biodiesel is corn, although depending on the geographic location of the manufacturing facility many other plants are used as well (rapeseed, soybeans, flaxseed, etc.). The first step is to use the raw vegetable product to make vegetable oil. Vegetable oil by itself will not be what you need to power a car; from here it has to be processed into Biodiesel.
The process for converting vegetable oil into Biodiesel is sometimes called ester interchange. To complete this process the vegetable oil has to be combined with a smaller amount of methanol and then put in the presence of a small quantity of an alkaline catalyst (for example, 5% to 1% sodium hydroxide). Vegetable oil is made up of so-called triglycerides, which is a compound of the trivalent alcohol glycerin with three fatty acids. The goal of ester interchange is to separate the glycerin molecule from the three fatty acids and replace it with three methanol molecules. These process then yields roughly 90% Biodiesel and 10% of a glycerin by product. The glycerin by product can be used in a number of other chemical processes for different industries.
According to the text, one of the advantages in using biodiesel is…
it is cheap.
it only uses vegetable oil.
it uses replaceable materials.
it can be done in small industry.
it gives less pollution than petroleum.

Dear, Rosa
I am a guy, twenty-eight years old. I have a problem with a girlfriend. She is twenty five years old. We have been dating each other for years, since we were high school students. Now we have jobs. I feel very sure that we love each other. Now it is time for me to get married. Unfortunately, her parents never approve of our relationship ever since the very first time. My family, anyhow, does not really mind. At first I thought my girlfriend had the power to defend our love. But then she surrendered. She loves, me and she loves her family, too. On the one hand she said, "I'll be happy if my family is happy." It means she had to get approval from her parents.
For this I was shocked. My heart was broken. She ended our relationship just at the time when I was ready to marry her. When I was with her, we were very happy. We had a lot in common and there were no conflicts. The truth was, we separated only because of her parents. They want her to marry her cousin, her aunt's son (this is one of the traditions in the Karonese).
For the time being I am very upset. When I miss her I call her. Then we can eat together, talk together for hours. We act like elating because she loves me, too. The real problem is, she cannot refuse what her parents want. So, should I forget my girlfriend, the only one that I truly love? Or else, should I just wait, and dream that one day she will be back to me?
Rio N., Padang
Dear Rio,
You call her your girlfriend, but she has chosen her own way. For this reason I’d, say that there is nothing you can do except forgets her and go on with your normal life. Hopefully you can find another and live happily forever.
