Skateboarding


Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for skateboarders to skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active, energetic and adventurous pastime.


Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of skaters speeding up and down the footpaths. Toddlers can be trampled on and old ladies can be knocked down as they struggle home carrying their cat food from supermarkets.


Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young people’s health. It increases fitness, improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and ankles. Although it appears to be a solo sport, when groups practice together and compete to perform stunts or runs they form firm friendships.


Young people should be prevented from becoming overweight couch potatoes. If they are actively involved in skating, they do not smoke, take drugs or break laws for fun.


Kids will always seek thrills and excitement. They need to practice their 180s, 360s and Ollie’s free from restrictions. We must build skate parks in the suburbs so that streets are safe for small children and senior citizens and skaters have spaces where they can race, chase, speed, and soar towards the sun.


The writer’s purpose in writing the text is ….

a)

To invite the local teenagers to skate in a park built specifically for skaters

b)

To convince the readers that they need a safe place for skaters to skate

c)

To promote the writer’s business of skateboarding class

Landslides in Indonesia

A leading geologist has explained in the media that the government should pay attention and inform villagers of the dangers of building homes on mountain slopes. The government should also consider geological and topographical conditions in the relevant areas.

Indeed the government takes its duties lightly where village conditions are concerned. The inhabitants of villages should be informed regularly that cutting trees in and around a village should be prohibited.

Having travelled extensively in Sumatra, Sulawesi, Kalimantan and throughout Java, I have witnessed that in and around many villages on mountain slopes no trees are visible as these were cut down a long time ago to be used as cooking fuel besides being used to construct homes.

No reforestation has ever taken place and this is due to the government’s lack of education of villagers about this important issue. Geological and topographical conditions and the importance of reforestation are paramount.

The government also fails to inform and teach these villagers about the danger of landslides.

These mountain slopes where no tree is standing are killing zones, especially in the rainy season, and natural disasters are bound to happen.

It is not too late to inform villagers that reforestation is a must and that studying geological and topographical conditions in the area before constructing a home is extremely important. Ignorant villagers cannot be blamed.


With the letter, the writer explicitly recommends that the government....

a)

Educate villagers about the importance of reforestation and special care before building homes on mountain slopes.

b)

Encourage villagers to participate in the government’s current programs to grow trees on deforested areas.

c)

Have strict rules and regulations about housing development in potentially dangerous areas with few trees.

d)

Improve the geological and topographical conditions of mountain slopes in Indonesia

e)

Help and encourage villagers to do reforestation in Landslide area

Students’ cheating is one of the biggest problems faced by teachers nowadays. Despite the fact that teachers advise their students not to do dishonest acts during test, some students still do cheating. There are many kinds of cheating that students do during the test or examination, such as looking other students’ work, put some notes under their clothes, write notes or formulas on their desks make hand signals or go to rest rooms to get the answers from their friends.

In my view, students who do cheating are committing a crime. It is a sort of taking something illegally. This crime causes negative results to the students. Students who always cheat deteriorate their mental capacity. Cheating acts also create dependence. They weaken their self confidence. Instead of preparing for the coming test, they are busy to organize notes on a piece of paper. If this awful habit contributes, the students will lose their opportunity to develop their intellectual and mind.


Therefore, school should consider cheating as a very serious problem. School board and administration should go hand to overcome this matter. Honestly must be put in school’s vision. Harsh punishment must be applied to students who commit this crime


What will the school do to eliminate students who commit cheating?

a)

Create a good vision

b)

Select honest students

c)

Make harsh punishment

d)

Make students confident

e)

Administer the school affair

One small reason why we should all learn to choose wood


One of the biggest threats to our children’s future is climate change caused by global warming.

There’s no single, simple solution, but we’d like to tell you about the good wood can do and why all of us should, wherever possible, be using it.

Trees suck in carbon dioxide out of the air and lock it away, so forestry is a vital part of any strategy to slow global warming. When we use the wood, the carbon stays locked up and the replanted trees start the cycle again.

And, despite what you might believe, Europe’s stock of trees is actually growing, as we currently plant more than two trees for every one that we cut.

Not only is wood renewable, but it takes less energy to fell, transport and process than other building materials. And, because it’s a natural insulator, timber frame houses use less fuel to heat.

So, next time when you need a new floor, replacement windows, a patio or a new kitchen, stop for just a moment and remember all those little reasons for choosing wood.
