Dear Aunt Tia

Aunty, I have some good news for you. Last month I passed my final examination. A week ago I succeeded to join in a senior high school English competition. Last night my parents promised to send me to a famous English course in my town. They also promised me if my scores in English are good, they'll send me to a foreign university. Great, isn't it? I'll work hard. I want to be a great pediatrician like you, Aunty.

Well, that's all for now. Looking forward to having your news.

Love

Debby

Dear Barbara,

Hi there. How are things with you? It's good to know that you are doing fine in business. Have you received my postcard?

I am now sitting in my hotel room writing a letter to you about my wonderful holiday. I think this is the most wonderful holiday have I ever had. There are a lot of interesting tourist objects to visit, beautiful local art and craft, tasty traditional food, and much more. It's Thursday today. I can't believe this my last day. I wish I could spend more time here. I am certain I will stay longer on my next visit.

I'll be home about 3 p.m. tomorrow if the flight is on time. On Monday I must go back to work. I can't wait to show my video to my class.

Okay, that's all for now. Send my love to your children.

Best wishes from,

RECYCLING

Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new products. In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the manufacturing process.

Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and office paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum foil. The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in a machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to remove smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper fibers and fl oats to the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood fibers to be made into paper again. Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month. Every ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill space. One ton of recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).

What sentence in the text states that there are lots of materials which can be recycled?

ANTIBIOTIC

Antibiotic is kind of compounds both natural and synthetic, which has function to press or stop a process of organism’s growth, particularly bacteria. Antibiotic is used to treat bacterial infections and used as a tool for genetic engineering in biotechnology. Antibiotic works as pesticides by pressing or break the chain of bacteria’s metabolism. Nevertheless, antibiotic is different with disinfectant in the process to kills bacteria. Disinfectant kills bacteria by creating an unnatural environment for germs to live.

In terms of treatment, antibiotics dubbed as “magic bullet “because antibiotic kills instantly without injuring its sufferers. Although antibiotic is good for medication, it is not effective in handling infection caused by viruses, fungi, or other nonbacterial.

Antibiotic has diverse types based on their effectiveness against bacteria. There are antibiotics that target gram- negative or gram- positive bacteria and some antibiotic has wider spectrum. The effectiveness depends on location of the infection and the ability of antibiotic to reach location of the infection. Based on how to use, antibiotics are divided into two that are oral antibiotics and antibiotic intradermal. An oral antibiotic is used by mouth while antibiotic intradermal used through anus. Intradermal antibiotic is used for serious cases.

Mr. Roni : Tika, there is a package for you

Tika : Yes, dad. Thanks

Mr. Roni : Is it online shopping?

Tika : It is. I bought a sling bag

Mr. Roni : You bought a bag again? O Gosh. You have already had many bags. Don’t be wasteful.

Tika : It is free delivery, Dad. The bag is also twenty-five percent off

Mr. Roni : I know, but you should not be shopaholic. A shopaholic will buy things they don’t need. They often buy products for collections and lifestyles only. It is like an addiction. Sale signs and advertisements are enough to tempt them to purchase something without considering the consequences

Tika : You’re right, Dad.

Mr. Roni : I only remind youabout the danger of shopaholic. Several people have debts because of their wasteful life. They spend money over their budgets. If they don’t change their bad behavior, they will be bankrupt

WE ARE THE WORLD - Michael Jackson

There comes a time, when we had a certain call

When the world must come together as one

There are people dying, oh…and it’s time to lend a hand to live

The greatest gift of all.

We can’t go on, pretending day by day

That someone, somewhere soon make a change

We’re all a part of God’sgreat big family

And the truth, you know, love is all we need.

We are the world, we are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving

There’s a choice we’re making, we’re saving our own lives

It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me

OUTDOORS by Jason Mraz

All day I’ve been inside, and I’ve got the feeling

I am trapped between the walls, and underneath the ceiling

I fell a bit of track, and I’m trying to get back

Back in the cool, cool air where the sun is shining

Nothing going to stop me, it’s all in the timing

It’s finally again my turn, it’s time to return

Cause I won’t stay inside no more..no more

I can not wait to go…outdoors

Well, open up your door and be like me

Open up your door and then breath free

And look at all the beauty you feel’ll

Loved…loved…loved

Listen to the music of the wind and the birdies sing

We’re just one big family, and all of nature deserves to be

Loved…loved…loved…loved…loved

So, I won’t stay inside no more…no more

I can not wait, I’m sure…there’s need to run and hide

Let’s go explore, it feels so great let’s go outdoors

Dear Frodi,

It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill, for your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to think the illness was very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for you always thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss to myself, for your mother was always very kind to me. Her death must be a terrible grief to your father, too. Please assure him of my sincere sympathy.

Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such sorrows we are always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.

Your sincere friend,

Jean

Dear Jonny,

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 are 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.

Nadim

Dear Intan

Intan, sorry I haven’t written to you for so long. We moved into a new apartment last month and we’ve been really busy getting settled.

It’s a nice apartment. It is bigger than our old one. It’s big so there are a lot of rooms to work in. It has a big living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Another thing I like is the kitchen.

The apartment is on a quiet street in a good neighborhood. There’s also a shopping centre just down the street with a supermarket, some quite good restaurants and some stores.

We really enjoy living here. Do come over and have a look next time you are in the town. I’ll wait.

Love

Shinta
