Bapak/Ibu Guru tentu sudah memahami bahwa Pemerintah telah menetapkan buku-buku yang
layak dipakai di dalam proses belajar mengajar. Buku-buku (BSE) itu dapat diunduh melalui internet
oleh siapa saja dan tidak dipungut biaya. Siapa pun bisa menggunakannya. Namun ternyata, itu saja
belum cukup. Siswa masih memerlukan bahan latihan agar kompetensi mereka benar-benar terukur.
Kenyataannya tidak banyak buku latihan yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan siswa dan guru. Salah satu
buku yang selalu ditunggu kehadirannya adalah buku PR Bahasa Inggris yang dilengkapi Pegangan
Guru (PG).
Buku PR Bahasa Inggris sudah terbit dalam beberapa edisi. Bapak/Ibu Guru yang sudah
menggunakan buku latihan ini beserta PG-nya mengakui kebergunaan materi yang ada dalam buku
ini pada saat mengajar. Mereka merasa sangat terbantu dengan adanya buku PR Bahasa Inggris
karena materinya selalu aktual dan mendukung tercapainya kompetensi. Dengan demikian, siswa
mempunyai banyak kesempatan berlatih mengembangkan kemampuan mereka, baik secara lisan
(spoken) maupun tertulis (written).
Kali ini buku PR Bahasa Inggris yang juga dilengkapi PG kembali hadir dengan beberapa
peningkatan mutu. Perubahan itu atas masukan Bapak/Ibu Guru yang sudah menggunakan buku
latihan ini. Salah satunya adalah disediakannya materi akhir unit di buku siswa (disebut Assessment)
dan juga di Pegangan Guru (disebut Review). Materi akhir unit di buku Pegangan Guru (Review)
tidak ada di buku siswa. Dengan demikian, Bapak/Ibu Guru dapat memberi bentuk latihan akhir unit
yang berbeda dengan yang ada di buku siswa. Kedua materi itu belum ada di buku Pegangan Guru
PR Bahasa Inggris edisi sebelumnya.
Penyusun sangat berharap buku latihan ini sesuai dengan keinginan Bapak/Ibu Guru. Buku ini
juga kami harapkan benar-benar dapat membantu siswa meningkatkan kompetensi mereka dan
membantu Bapak/Ibu Guru menciptakan generasi penerus yang cerdas.
Penyusun tetap mengharapkan masukan Bapak/Ibu Guru guna penyempurnaan dan
pengembangan buku latihan ini.

Last week my father bought a horse. He said that it is a female Arabian horse. He also
said that Arabian horses are intelligent and have great stamina. That’s why he decided to
buy one. You know, it is large and slender. The horse is about 1.5 m tall, and can run very
fast.
I really like the horse. It has large nostrils, big eyes, but a small head and muzzle. And
you know, it has a silky, flowing mane, a short back and broad shoulders. And about its legs
. . . er . . . it has long ones. No wonder it can run fast.

My Barbie Doll
I have a Silkstone Barbie Doll. It is a birthday present from my mother.
My Silkstone Barbie Doll is made of a very hard vinyl that mimics porcelain. The doll seems just
a bit taller than other Barbie dolls. It has a permanent model’s pose. Its right arm is bent for placement
on the hip. Its left leg is bent at the knee. The doll has joints at the neck, shoulders, hips and waist.
The knees do not bend on the doll: the position is permanent. The bent “on the hip” arm can make the
dolls a bit difficult to dress.
The outfits for my Silkstone Barbie Doll are full of details and are made of fine fabrics. The doll
is completed with extra clothing and accessories.
The doll is very beautiful. I like playing with it. It always accompanies me when I am lonely.
When I sleep, I always put it beside me. It is really my best friend.

sights in the world.
The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United
States. The statue was made by a French sculptor named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The
inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous
Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Liberty, of course, means freedom and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United
States to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of the U.S. Independence from England.
The statue was built in France, taken apart piece by piece, and then rebuilt in the United
States. It was opened for the public on October 28, 1886.

Hi, friends. I want to tell you about Calvin and Martin. Well, they are classmates. Last week
they were going to visit a shoe factory with their teacher and other classmates. You know, they
were very excited about the excursion. They were interested in seeing how shoes are made.
The day of having the excursion came. Arriving at school, they saw their classmates
crowding around their teacher, Mrs. Ong. Both of the boys ran to her with their bags. Their bags
contained some sandwiches and drinks.
I tell you what! Mrs. Ong told them, “Students, it’s a pity that the bus has broken down.
I don’t know how long it will take for the bus to be repaired or for another bus to replace it.”
Hearing this, Calvin and Martin were disappointed.
Mrs. Ong and the students waited for two hours at the school canteen. Finally, Mrs. Ong
decided to postpone the trip. Of course, Calvin and Martin were sad. They ate their food
before going home.

The text above is a recount text in written form. A recount text tells us about past events.
It could be someone’s experiences, someone’s life in the past, the history of something, etc.
The main feature of a recount text is the use of the simple past tense.
A recount text has certain elements as follows.
● Orientation: tells about what happened, where the story happened, who was involved
in the story, when it occured, or why it happened.
● Series of events: tell the story. These are usually described in time order.
● Re-orientation: is the closure of events (usually optional).
Grammar Section
The Simple Past Tense

Look at the picture and read the dialog.
Study the explanation.
What did you do

last weekend?
Well, I visited my
uncle.
The bold-typed sentences use the simple past tense. You use the simple past tense to talk
about actions or situations in the past.
Adverbs of time:
● yesterday ● just now ● last . . .
● a few minutes ago ● this morning ● . . . ago

1. If a sentence uses a verb, use Vpast for the positive form and did for the negative and
interrogative sentences.
Patterns:
● Affirmative sentences : Subject + Vpast + object + (adverb of time)
● Negative sentences : Subject + did not + Vbase + object + (adverb of time)
● Interrogative sentences : Did + subject + Vbase + object + (adverb of time) + ?
Examples:
Subject Vpast Object (Adv. of Time)

(+) I watched TV an hour ago.
Indra studied English last night.
Subject Did not Vbase Object (Adv. of Time)
(–) I did not watch a football match an hour ago.
Indra did not study math last night.
Did Subject Vbase Object (Adv. of Time)

● Interrogative sentences : Was/Were + subject + N/adj./adv. + (adv. of time)?

Once I lived in a dormitory with some Australian students. There were about twenty of us on
the same floor and there were only two fridges available. Our neighbors were so friendly but
problems first emerged when my Singaporean neighbor put her chopped garlic in the fridge. All
the Australians complained about the garlic. But the Asians complained about the smell of pasta
(noodles) which to us, smelled like a toilet! At last, we decided to wrap garlic and pasta before
placing them in the fridge. This taught us to understand and respect each other’s cultures. So, it is
not good to fry ‘ikan asin’ or ‘sambal terasi’ if you live very near Australians!

When I first came to Bali I knew no Indonesian, but I was keen on speaking it. Therefore, usually
I experimented with sentences by guessing and putting words together. One day I was sitting on
the beach and a lady came up to me offering to sell me a sarong. I wanted to tell her that I had no
money but I didn't know how, so I decided to guess. “Saya tidak orang,” I said. The lady stared at
me in horror and touched me on the arm! Realizing I wasn’t a ghost, she started to laugh and told
me that it was ‘uang’ and that the word for ‘to have’ was ‘punya’. I’ll never forget my Indonesian
lesson that day. So the moral is don’t be afraid to make mistakes–it’s a great way of learning!

Hi, friends! Let me tell you about my experience when I studied in Australia. I lived in a dormitory
with my Australian friends. I lived with about nineteen people on the same floor. Unluckily, we only got
two fridges here.
At first we lived peacefully, because we all were friendly. One day, we faced a problem. You
know, I had a Singaporean who love eating chopped garlic. She put it in the fridge. I tell you what! my
Australians friends complained about it. On the other hand, . . . my Asian friends complained about
the smell of pasta. We thought it smelled like a toilet! To overcome the problems, we decided to pack
the garlic and pasta before we put them into the fridge. This experience taught us to understand and

Hello, my name is Sarah Wood. You know, on my first trip to Bali I knew nothing about Indonesian.
However, I was interested to talk with the native in Indonesian. So, I tried to talk by guessing and
arranging words together.
One day, I sat on the beach to enjoy the scenery. A lady approached me. She sold a sarong.
You know what. I had no money at all. I wanted to tell her about it, but I didn’t know what to say.
Then I decided to say, “Saya tidak orang.” Guess what! The lady looked confuse. Then, she
touched my arm! She thought I was a ghost. Suddenly she laughed and understood that I was not
a ghost. After that, she told me that it was ‘uang’ not ‘orang’ and the English word for ‘punya’ is ‘to
have’. That experience is still in my mind. That’s my story. Funny, isn’t it?

When Arvan was in hospital, he stayed in the children’s ward. It was a long room with lots
of beds. There were other children in all the beds. Some of them smiled and waved to him.
There were lots of things for Arvan to do. First of all, he had a blood test. A nurse took a little
blood from him. She used a needle–it did sting a bit, but it wasn’t too bad. The nurse told Arvan
that the blood test would help the doctor find out how to take care of him.
Then, Arvan was taken to a special room in the X-ray department. A nurse helped him to
get up on a table, and asked him to lie there without moving. A giant-sized camera took
a photograph, called an X-ray, of Arvan’s insides. It didn’t hurt at all.
Arvan stayed in hospital for a few days. He made some new friends there, and his mother
came to visit him every day. A teacher came to the ward every day too, and she brought along
something for all the children to do. In the afternoon Arvan liked to draw pictures with the other
children.

Well, last week we went camping at Paradise Mountain. You know, we went there by bus.
We arrived there at about ten o’clock. Then, we took a rest for about half an hour. After that, we
built tents. It was enjoying because we did it together. Then, the girls prepared lunch and the boys
helped them. At about twelve p.m. we had lunch. Then, our activities began. At about one p.m. we
had to walk through the forest. We all know that we should keep the forest. We may not scratch or
take any exotic flowers. Moreover, we should not litter.
At first, we still had conversations and made jokes. However, when we arrived at the deeper
part in the forest, some girls shouted because they were afraid. They felt relieved after we finally
went out of the forest. Then, we had to cross a river. We did it hand in hand and we were happy
doing this. We also played in the water. At about five p.m., we arrived at our camping area. Then,
we cooked fried rice. This time, all boys cooked it. Guess what happened! Some were overcooked!
At six p.m., we had dinner. Then, we enjoyed the evening and had a bonfire. Some friends sang
songs, and some others had jokes. I myself played the guitar to accompany those who sang. At
about eleven p.m., we went sleeping.

Well, my mother ever told me that when I was a kid, just around about two years old, I was

And I didn’t cry out. I was apparently too busy trying to breathe. Eventually, my mother came out.
Well, she found me standing in the pond with my head just above the water. Then, she pulled me
out before anything bad happened. Luckily, there was nothing serious about me.

My family likes the sea very much. When we had a holiday last year, we went to a place at the
seaside and borrowed a boat from one of our friends. Then, we sailed and fished on the sea all
day. We also had races against other boats.
When the sea was rough, we sailed on a small lake near the sea instead. We were very
careful on this lake because there were a lot of sharp rocks there, and the water was shallow. We
did not want to damage our friend’s boat.
There were not many fish in the lake, but in the sea we caught a lot with a hook, line and small
pieces of bread. The fish were not very big, but they tasted very good. When the weather was fine,
we sailed to the land at lunch time, collected pieces of dry wood and fried or grilled our fish over
them on the beach.
There is an island about a mile from our friend’s house, and we sailed to it. The water was
very clear there, and there was a beautiful beach with white sand and no rocks. We bathed there.
It was a lot of fun.

Contoh jawaban:
I have a younger sister. I love her very much. However, one day, when she and I were eating
together, suddenly I broke the glass beside me. I felt surprised, and so did my sister. Suddenly,
mother came. She asked us, “Oh, no. Who broke the glass?”
I was really afraid to tell her the fact because the glass was one of my mother’s favorites,
I guessed. I said, “Not . . . me. It was Ela.”
Ela felt shocked hearing this. I could see it from her face. She tried to defend hersef, “No. It
was Eka . . . .” But mother believed me more than her.
Then, mother asked her, “If you have made a mistake, confess it bravely. Now, sweep the floor
and clean it from the broken glass. Eka, please help your sister.” I helped her. But I saw there were
some tears in her big eyes. I kept silent. In my heart, I felt that I won over her.
However, since that time, she didn’t want to be with me anymore. She played with her doll and
directly left when I approached her. She also didn’t come to my class during the break as she
usually did before. And, she kept locking herself in her room. I felt really lonely, and realized that it
was my fault actually. I felt guilty.
Then, one day, I approached her when she was playing. She was almost leaving. However,
I grasped her hand and said, “Forgive me, dear sister. It was my fault.” At first she still didn’t want
to see me. However, I kept apologizing. Then, she finally said, “O.K.” She cried. I embraced her
and promised I would never do it anymore.

Bukittinggi
Dear Mirima,
My brother and I are in Bukittinggi now. We arrived here on Sunday morning at five.
It was already busy probably because of the holidays. We went directly to the remains of
De Kock Fortress and found a lot of people jogging along this area. We took a rest here,
sat under the tree and enjoyed the fresh air.
It was almost 6:30 a.m. We went to a famous warung, called “Pical si Kai”. Here we
had coffee, pical, ketupat gulai, etc. Because all hotels had been full, we rented a room in
a house nearby. The room was quite nice and clean. The rent was not too expensive.
At about eight we went to Sianok Valley. It is such a very beautiful valley. On the
bank of the valley there is a long cave, called Japanese cave. It is very long. It goes
deeply into the ground with an entrance at one end, and an exit at the other end. The
people here said that a long time ago the cave was used by the Japanese army to protect
themselves from the Dutch attack. At that time it seemed that there was nothing in the
ground. Both the entrance and the exit were covered by plants.
That’s our first day in Bukittinggi. We are going to visit Lake Maninjau, Lembah Anai
Falls, etc. the following day. Hope to be here with you someday. Please reply soon.
Love,
Vena Junita

It’s nice reading the story about your last holiday. I am interested in going to
Bandung some day. Will you go there again together with me?
Well, talking about my holiday, I spent it with my friends. We had a camping in
a hill about seven kilometers from my house. We spent two days there. It was really
a nice experience, you know. Moreover, we all who joined the camp are girls! So,
we did what boys usually do when we were camping, like bringing our heavy stuff,
carrying pails of water from the river nearby, etc. We also built our tents ourselves.
It was really enjoyable for us. It was like we had our own home. Wanna try with me?

Dear Ida,
How have you been? I really miss you because we haven’t met since we graduated from
elementary school.
I remember when we first got to be close to each other. When we were in the fourth grade,
in the art lesson. Mr. Gunawan asked us to sing a national song. When it was my turn to come
forward, I felt really afraid. I didn’t want to do it. All our friends encouraged me, including you.
Finally, I stepped forward, but I didn’t know what to sing. Even Mr. Gunawan sang a song
himself and asked me to repeat after him. However, his attempt was useless. I still didn’t sing.
Then, I went to my seat. He got angry with me. Later, during the break, you approached me
and encouraged me. You said that I had a good voice. You also said that not all our friends
were better than me. I felt courageous because of your encouragement. Then, after the break,
I told Mr. Gunawan that I would sing, and I made it. Since that time, you always encouraged
me whenever I felt down. Thanks, mate.
Now, it’s been more than a year we have separated from each other. I believe you have
stories to tell. I look forward to hearing from you.
With love,
Betsy

It is a new zoo in my town. Many people are interested to visit it, including us.
Actually, the zoo is not far from our houses. That’s why we just rode our bikes.
Arriving there, we bought the tickets. Entering the zoo, we could see many animals in their
own shelters or cages. Firstly, we saw the elephants shelter. There were four elephants in
the shelter. Wow! They were really big!
Then, we went to the monkey cage. Actually I wanted to throw some peanuts to the
monkeys, but we were not allowed to do it. We just smiled and laughed looking at the
monkey’s behavior.
After that, we walked around the zoo and saw many other animals. We were in the
zoo for about two hours. We really enjoyed our holiday there. Will you come and see the
zoo some day with me?

Listen, all, I want to tell you about a very interesting place from the eastern part of our
archipelago, Papua. This place is Baliem Valley. Have you ever heard this name before?
O.K., listen to me carefully.
Well, the Baliem Valley, which is sometimes known as the Grand Valley, is one of the
highlands of Papua province. The valley is about 80 km in length and 20 km in width and lies
at an altitude of about 1,000 m, with a population of 100,000. This place is occupied by the
Dani people. And . . . the main town in the valley is Wamena. It has very beautiful scenery
with the blue sky above it.

You know, as far as the outside world was concerned, the Baliem Valley along with the
unexpected presence of its large agricultural population was discovered by Richard Archbold
on his third zoological expedition to New Guinea in 1938. Since then the valley has gradually
been opened up to a limited amount of tourism. Now, the Baliem Valley becomes one of the
major tourist spots in Papua. Many tourists, domestics and overseas, have visited the place.
O.K., that’s my description about the Baliem Valley. Thanks for listening.

Contoh jawaban:
Do you know the building in the picture? Well, it is called
Eiffel Tower. It is one of the most favorite places in the world to
visit. We can see the tower in Paris, France, the world’s fashion
center.
The tower is designed by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel for the
World Fair. Guess what! There are 2,500,000 rivets and 18,038
steel pieces that make up the Eiffel Tower. It first opened on
March 31, 1889. And . . . every seven years workers repaint it
with fifty tons of dark brown paint. During the renovation of the
Eiffel Tower 1,000 tons were removed from it.
You know, the Eiffel Tower weighs 7,000 tons. The base is
412 square feet or 2.5 acres. The tower itself is about 1,052
feet high including the television antenna at the top.
Picture source:http://www.pbase_com Otis Elevator Company had designed glass-walled
elevators, which climbed the legs of the tower to get to the first
and second platforms. From the second floor to the third
platform, which is near the top, four balanced elevators go up
and down in the area. If you looked on a clear day, from the top
platform, the view stretches for 50 miles, around 80 kilometers.

The Eiffel Tower consists of three levels. On the first level are three-glass-confined structures.
Next is the second level. They both contain one restaurant: Le Parisien on the lower level and La
Belle France on the upper level. The third part is the Salle (hall) Gustave Eiffel, where there is
space for business, conferences, expositions, cultural events, and social meetings. There is
a souvenir shop and a snack bar located on the smaller second floor. Even from this level, it is very
possible that an excellent view of Paris can be seen without having to go to the top.

Nusa Tenggara
Nusa Tenggara is the name for the chain of islands which lies to the east of Bali. Including
the islands of Komodo, Lombok, Flores and Timor, Nusa Tenggara spans a variety of
landscapes, from tropical forests, high volcanic lakes and dry savannahs. The largest islands
are Lombok and Sumbawa, with hundreds of smaller islands between. East Nusa Tenggara has
566 islands. The long northern arch of the island chain is the result of volcanic activity, whilst
the southern islands are formed from coral deposits.
Most of the eastern islands are arid, due to hot winds blowing from the continent of
Australia and sparsely vegetated. The Western half of Nusa Tenggara is moister and has
denser vegetation. The Northern part of the chain is known for deep lakes contained in the
craters of extinct volcanoes, the most famous of which are the colored mineral lakes on Gunung
Keli Mutu in Flores.

You know, the zoo was founded based on Dutch General Governor’ 40th policy on August 31,
1916. At the beginning it was named Soerabaiasche Planten-En Dierentuin or in English it means
Botanical and Animal Garden of Surabaya.
Well, the zoo opens daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Talking about the ticket price, it’s not expen-

National Museum
National Museum is known among Indonesians as ‘Museum Gajah’ or ‘Elephant Museum’
because of a small, sculpture of an Asian elephant which is mounted in front of it. The elephant,
like the bulk of the museum’s collection, dates back to colonial times. This colonial building with its
Doric columns keeps one of the most astounding collections of artifacts in all Southeast-Asia.
The building is designed around a central courtyard that is the museum’s sculpture garden.
The presentation of the exhibits is very simple. Here you can find exhibits from all of the major
kingdoms of Indonesia’s rich Hindu-Buddhist past. Highlights include Sanskrit inscriptions from
Sumatra’s Sriwijaya kingdom and beautiful Hindu statues from East Javanese dynasties. Best of
all is a massive fourteenth century statue of King Adityavarman standing on human skulls. This
statue holds pride of place at the end of the courtyard and is one of the most important statues
ever made in Indonesia.

The museum also has a huge and impressive collection of Chinese porcelain.They frame
every dynasty of Chinese history. A whole porcelain stool collected in Aceh is said to be absolutely
unique. You will struggle to find a better collection of antique ceramics anywhere in Southeast-
Asia. Ceramic lovers will also enjoy displays from ancient Thailand and Vietnam.
There are also extensive displays of ethnographic materials from all around the archipelago.
You will find artifacts from most of Indonesia’s varied and colorful ethnic groups. These displays
will appeal to both art lovers and people wanting to get an insight into Indonesia’s cultural diversity.

the palace. The width of the gardens itself is 284,000 square meters or 28.4 hectares.

private offices for the head of state, a library, a dining room, a ministers’ meeting room, a theater
room, and the Garuda room. The last room especially functions to welcome State guests.
Meanwhile, the two wings are used as the guest residences for State guests. Further, the Bogor

Contoh jawaban:
San Fransisco
San Francisco is my favorite city in the United States. It is beautiful, clean, not too big, and it
has something for everybody. I love the streets and buildings in San Francisco. The streets wind
up and down the hills, with beautiful old brick and wooden houses on either side.
One of my favorite things to do in San Francisco is to ride a cable car. It takes you to most
parts of the city. It’s not a very comfortable ride, but it’s exciting and the views you see from the car
are wonderful.
Besides, I like the weather in San Francisco. It never gets too cold or too hot. The summers
are pleasant. The fresh breezes blow off the ocean and the sky is always blue. It rains quite a lot in
the winter, but it never gets very cold.
Another thing I enjoy about the city is the restaurants. The seafood restaurants, with crabs
and lobster, are my favorites. You can also get great Chinese, Japanese, American and European
food in San Francisco.
