The Proclamation of Indonesian Independence was read at 10.00 a.m. on Friday, 17 August 1945. The document was signed by Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta, who were appointed president and vice-president respectively the following day. The draft was prepared only a few hours earlier on the night of 16 August 1945 by Sukarno, Hatta, and Soebardjo, at the house of Rear-Admiral Tadashi Maeda.
The wording of the proclamation had been discussed at length and had to balance both conflicting internal Indonesian and Japanese interests. Sukarno drafted the final proclamation which balanced the interests of both the members of the youth movement and the Japanese. The term ‘TRANSFER OF POWER’ was used in Indonesian to satisfy Japanese interests to appear that it was an administrative transfer of power, although the term used ‘pemindahan kekuasaan’ could be perceived to mean political power. The wording ‘BY CAREFUL MEANS’ related to preventing conflict with members of the youth movement. The wording ‘IN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME’ was used to meet the needs of all Indonesians for independence.
Initially the proclamation was to be announced at Djakarta central square, but the military had been sent to monitor the area, so the venue was changed to Sukarno's house at Pegangsaan Timur 56. The proclamation was heard throughout the country because the text was secretly broadcast by Indonesian radio personnel using the transmitters of the Jakarta Broadcasting Station. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
a. The location of the proclamation.
b.The night before the proclamation.
c. The term ‘TRANSFER OF POWER’.
d.Word choice in the text of proclamation.
e.The preparation of Indonesian independence.

Hello Felyta!
It’s been too long since our last visit, and I thought I’d write to you to see how everything is. So, how are you and the family doing? I remember precisely and perfectly Janice is just about to start kindergarten, right? That must be exciting; she was always such a bright girl. And what grade is Silas going into? 7th or 8th? He’s growing up so fast. They both are, really.
My kids are getting ready for the school year as well. Galen just mentioned you guys the other day while we were at the park. He remembered how Janice was throwing the pebbles last time and asked when he’d get to play with her again. I really hope that I can tell him you’ll all be visiting soon. You guys should drive up for a weekend out with us. There’s a new restaurant in town, and I think you’d like it; it’s very simple and cozy.
We all miss you very much, Felyta, and the family is welcome to come visit any time at all. I hope all is well with everyone. Please send hellos from all of us to your family. Talk to you soon.
Love,
Maria

Studying is a dreaded word that many college students hate to hear, but how about doing it internationally? Traveling the world is something many hope to do in life, so why not do it now while in college?
Exposure to international countries will allow college students the incredible experience of traveling. It also makes students aware of the way others work on a day-to-day basis. Students will also benefit socially from studying abroad due to the independence traveling internationally brings someone. Traveling abroad will make sure students will be more independent and mature than when they left. This is due to the student getting out of their comfort zone and trying something new.

Smoking a cigarette may be a normal routine to some, but in reality, it is purely a harmful activity. Ingesting smoke can be lethal, and can cause many diseases, such as cancer. But one common issue that most smokers overlook is its impact on others. This is known as secondhand smoke, the smoke produced from a cigarette or the smoke exhaled by a smoker. Secondhand smoke is a silent killer.
Smoking doesn't only affect people, but also the environment. I am fairly certain that every person in this room has seen a cigarette butt lying somewhere, at some point in their lives. Whether it’s on the curb of a neighborhood street, on the sandy beach, or in your favorite park, this litter can be found just about anywhere. Most smokers don’t even believe that a cigarette butt is actually litter, but trust me, it is.
I personally think that breathing clean and pure air is a basic right for any human being. Allowing public smoking is taking away that right, and making the air we breathe in daily possibly harmful to our well-being.
“Smoking doesn't only affect people, but also the environment.”
Change the sentence above into passive voice!
a. People and environment are affected by smoking.
b. People and environment were affected by smoking.
c. People and environment will be affected by smoking.
d. People and environment can be affected by smoking.
e. People and environment had been affected by smoking.

1. What happened after the incident?

Thomas Matulessy, also known as Kapitan Pattimura or Ahmad Lussy or simply Pattimura, was an Ambonese soldier and National Hero of Indonesia. Born on the island of Saparua, Pattimura joined the British army after they took the Maluku islands from the Dutch colonials. When the islands were returned to the Dutch in 1816, he was dismissed. Concerned that the Dutch would implement programs that limited his people, Pattimura led an armed rebellion that captured Fort Duurstede on 16 May 1817. Killing the inhabitants of the fortress and fighting off Dutch reinforcements, on 29 May he was declared the leader of the Maluku people. After being betrayed by the King of Booi Pati Akoon, he was captured by Dutch forces on 11 November and hanged the next month.
Pattimura has become a symbol of both Maluku and Indonesian independence, praised by President Sukarno and declared a national hero by President Suharto. He has several namesakes both in the capital of Maluku, Ambon, and in the rest of the Indonesian archipelago.
