Dear Lani,
Hi, how are you? It’s been a while since we last met during the school holiday. I really miss our morning walks and late-night talks. Things have been quite busy here lately because our school is preparing for the National Skills Competition. I was chosen as one of the representatives for the English Speech Contest. At first, I was nervous because I doubted my ability, but my teacher encouraged me to try.
I’ve been practicing every day after class. It’s challenging, but I’ve learned so much about public speaking. You know what? Joining this competition made me realize how important it is to believe in ourselves. I used to think that confidence only comes from talent, but now I see that it grows through effort and support from others.
Anyway, how’s your photography project going? I saw some of your pictures on social media—they’re amazing! I hope one day we can collaborate: you take photos, and I’ll write captions for them. Let’s make something creative together when we meet again.
Send my regards to your family, especially your little brother. Take care, and don’t forget to rest. Can’t wait to hear your reply!
Warmly,
Rina

Dear Andi,
I heard from Raka that you failed your driving test last week. Don’t be too hard on yourself! Everyone makes mistakes when learning something new. Remember when I couldn’t even ride a motorcycle straight? It took me three tries to pass my test. What really matters is not how many times we fail, but how many times we keep trying.
Maybe this is a chance for you to practice more and gain confidence. You’re one of the most patient people I know, and I’m sure you’ll get it next time. Just imagine how proud you’ll feel when you finally hold that license!
By the way, I also wanted to tell you that I recently joined a part-time job at a café near my house. It’s tiring, but I’m learning a lot about responsibility and teamwork. Life teaches us in different ways, doesn’t it?
I hope this letter cheers you up. Let’s meet up this weekend — I’ll buy you some coffee and listen to your “driving story” again. Stay positive!
Your friend,
Dina

How to Save Electricity at Home
Electricity is one of the most important resources we use every day, but many people often waste it without realizing it. Saving electricity is not only good for the environment, but also helps us reduce monthly bills. Here are some effective steps you can take to save electricity at home.
First, always unplug electronic devices when they are not in use. Many appliances still consume power even when turned off if they remain plugged in. Second, make sure to use energy-saving bulbs instead of traditional ones. Although they may be more expensive at first, they last longer and use less energy in the long run.
Next, take advantage of natural light during the day by opening windows and curtains, instead of using lamps unnecessarily. Also, set your air conditioner to a reasonable temperature—around 24°C to 26°C—to avoid wasting power. Lastly, build the habit of turning off lights and fans every time you leave a room.
By practicing these habits, you not only help reduce your household’s energy consumption but also contribute to protecting our planet for future generations.

Third, take short breaks after long sessions to avoid burnout. During those breaks, stretch your body or drink water to refresh your mind. Finally, set clear goals for each study session—whether it’s finishing a chapter, doing assignments, or reviewing materials.
By following these steps, you’ll build better habits, manage your time wisely, and achieve your learning goals more effectively from home.

Why Do People Yawn? Yawning is something everyone does, but surprisingly, scientists are still exploring the exact reasons behind it. We often yawn when we are tired or bored, but yawning also happens in other situations, such as before an important event or when we see someone else yawn. One explanation is that yawning helps regulate brain temperature. When we are tired, our brain becomes warmer, and yawning helps cool it down by taking in cool air and increasing blood flow to the brain. This keeps our brain alert and functioning properly. Another theory suggests that yawning is a social behavior. When we see others yawn, we tend to do the same—a phenomenon known as contagious yawning. This may help people unconsciously connect emotionally, showing empathy or shared feelings within a group. In short, yawning is not just a sign of boredom. It may play an important role in both physical and social aspects of human behavior.
What conclusion can we draw about the function of yawning from the text?
Yawning serves both biological and social purposes that help humans stay alert and emotionally connected.
Yawning is only a reaction to tiredness, and it has no significant biological meaning.
Yawning occurs randomly without any connection to the human body or emotions.
Yawning is simply a bad habit that shows a person’s lack of concentration and discipline.
Yawning only happens because humans need more oxygen while sleeping or resting.

What can be inferred about the importance of yawning according to the text?
It is a natural process that keeps the brain balanced and supports social understanding among people.
It should be avoided because it indicates weakness and lack of motivation in daily activities.
It only happens to people who are physically unhealthy or mentally stressed.
It proves that humans are less efficient than animals in regulating their body temperature.
It shows that people easily lose control of their bodies when they feel sleepy or bored.

Why Do People Get Nervous Before an Important Event?
Have you ever felt your hands shaking or your heart beating fast before a big presentation, exam, or performance? That feeling is called nervousness, and it happens to almost everyone. But why does it occur? When we face an important or stressful situation, our brain releases chemicals such as adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones prepare our body for what is known as the “fight or flight” response. This means our body is getting ready to either face the challenge or avoid it. Our heart beats faster to pump more oxygen to the muscles, and our senses become sharper. However, when this reaction happens during non-dangerous events—like giving a speech—it makes us feel nervous instead of physically ready to fight. The good news is that a little nervousness can actually help us focus better and perform well. It becomes a problem only when we let it control us. In short, nervousness is a natural response from our body that shows we care about what we are about to do.
