Read the following text to answer questions 32 to 35.
Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, and are known for their role in pollination and
for producing honey and beeswax. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees in nine recognized
families though many are undescribed and the actual number is probably higher. They are found on
every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated
flowering
plants.
Bees have a long proboscis (a complex "tongue") that enables them to obtain the nectar from flowers.
They have antennae almost universally made up of 13 segments in males and 12 in females, as is
typical for the super family. Bees all have two pairs of wings, the hind pair being the smaller of the
two; in a very few species, one sex or caste has relatively short wings that make flight difficult or
impossible,
but
none
are
wingless.
The smallest bee is Trigona minima, a stingless bee whose workers are about 2.1 mm (5/64") long. The
largest bee in the world is Megachile pluto, a leafcutter bee whose females can attain a length of 39
mm (1.5"). Members of the family Halictidae, or sweat bees, are the most common type of bee in the
Northern Hemisphere, though they are small and often mistaken for wasps or flies.

MAKING CANDLES
Making coloured and scented candles is really quick and simple. What's more, you'll save so much
money. If making candle is easy, why do you ever buy one from a shop? What you need in making candle
are wax, moulds, wick, dye discs, essential oils, and a double boiler. All these materials are available
from craft shops. Or if you do not want to buy them, you can improvise with an old saucepan, Pyrex
jug, or even a sturdy can, in a pot of water. After providing the materials, follow this procedure or
instruction
in
making
candles!
First of all, melt the wax. All wax has a flash point, so to prevent it bursting into flames; you must melt
it
in
a
double
boiler,
with
water
in
the
bottom
of
the
pan.
Then, prepare the mould with the wick. Thread the wick through the mould and make sure that you
leave
a
good
few
centimeters
sticking
out
of
the
hole
in
the
bottom.
After that, add the scent. If you want a scented candle, add a few drops of essential oil to the melted
wax. You can use any essential oil you like, as long as it doesn't contain water.
Next step, pour the wax into the mould. Try and tip the wax into the mould quickly, all in one go, to
minimize
spillage
and
air
bubbles.
Then, release the bubbles and top it up. Releasing the air bubbles will eventually make the candle
sink,
so
you
will
need
to
top
it
up
with
more
melted
wax.
Finally, remove it from the mould. After four or five hours, the candle can be taken out of its mould.
Your candle is now ready for display. Remember, you must always leave it for a day before lighting it.

project.
Service-learning is a teaching method that engages our students in solving problems within their school
and communities as an integral part of their academic studies. It is hoped that students master
important curriculum content by making meaningful connection between what they study and its reallife applications. Besides, students become more effective citizens through acts of kindness,
community stewardship and civic action. This effort is made possible with support from Learn and
Serve America, a program of the corporation for National and Community Service.
May we suggest that you visit us on January 11, 2010 at 10 oclock? This will give you an opportunity to
see our program in action. We have also invited our community partners, members of the local media,
and several families of students whom we serve. They are eager to talk to you about the importance of
investing
in
service-learning
activities
in
our
local
community.
We have enclosed a one page profile of our program for your reference. I will contact your office
within the next two weeks to follow-up on this invitation. Again, we do hope you can join us on this
occasion.

Thank
Sincerely,
Andy Sehatapi

Tips Belajar Bahasa Inggris Dengan Gembira

Belajar bahasa Inggris dengan gembira

1. Perbanyak membaca buku, artikel, tulisan dalam bahasa Inggris.
Ingat, pertama-tama membaca pasti akan ada banyak kosa kata yang kita tidak kenal. Jangan
menyerah. Artikan setiap kata dengan bantuan kamus, dan tulis arti kata tersebut di bawahnya.
Percaya pada saya, dalam beberapa minggu, anda pun akan berhenti membuka kamus setiap 2 menit
dalam membaca tulisan sejenis.
2. Perhatikan pengucapan kata.
Memang kadang sangat susah mengucapkan suatu kata bahasa Inggris dengan baik, tapi bukan berarti
tidak mustahil. Jangan keras kepala dan mengucapkan suatu kata seperti halnya bahasa Indonesia.
Logat tidak akan bisa hilang, tapi usahakan untuk memperhatikan pengucapan. Untuk ini yang pertama
harus dilakukan adalah menguasai penguasaan abjad, dan kemudian perhatikan phonetik yang sering
dicantumkan dalam kamus. Kalau masih juga bingung, bisa lihat di website Oxford English Dictionary .
Penjelasan yang mereka berikan sangat jelas dan mudah dimengerti.
3. Perbanyak kosa kata anda.
Langkah pertama akan memperbanyak kosa kata anda secara tidak langsung, tapi tidak ada salahnya
mendedikasikan 15 menit setiap hari untuk belajar kosa kata baru. Bisa dengan mengulang kosa kata
yang didapat dari bacaan, berusaha mencerna lirik dalam musik, atau berusaha untuk menangkap
dialog dalam film kesayangan. Tulis kosa kata yang anda pelajari di sebuah buku tulis khusus. Dengan
begitu kosa kata tidak akan hilang dan anda akan menyadari kemajuan yang telah anda dapat. Bagi
mereka yang memiliki akses email mudah, ikutilah milis Oxford English Dictionary yang akan
mengirimkan satu kata dan artinya setiap hari.
4. Coba menulis dalam bahasa Inggris.
Tidak berarti harus langsung menulis karya sastra. Cukup kalimat-kalimat pendek, dan kemudian disusul
dengan paragraph pendek. Lalu coba koreksi sendiri tulisan tersebut. Jangan selalu mengandalkan Word
Spelling check, karena fungsi ini tidak bisa diandalkan untuk memeriksa kesalahan grammar.
Kuasailah grammar dasar dan ikuti peraturannya dengan telaten. Tidak perlu terburu-buru menulis
kalimat yang panjang dan kompleks. Mulai
dengan kalimat pendek dengan kosa kata yang simpel. Dengan berjalannya waktu, penguasaan
grammar dengan baik dan timbunan kosa kata di bank memori anda, anda pun akan bisa menghasilkan
sebuah cerpen atau blog dalam bahasa Inggris.
5. Cari teman ngobrol dalam bahasa Inggris
Pasti banyak teman anda yang juga sedang berjuang mempelajari bahasa Inggris, kenapa tidak belajar
bareng-bareng? Ajak teman anda untuk meluangkan waktu berbicara bahasa Inggris dengan anda, entah
sekedar ngegosip, membaca dialog atau cerita, atau berdiskusi. Kalau malu, cari tempat dan waktu
dimana anda tidak akan diganggu, taman kota, lorong kampus atau kamar kost.
Kalau enggan, latihan saja sendiri di kamar. Lafalkan kata-kata dalam bahasa Inggris atau baca novel
kesayangan dengan lantang. Dengan melantunkan sebuah lagu kita pun jadi gampang mengingatnya.
Sama dengan tulisan, dengan melantunkan sebuah puisi, kita pun akan mengingat bait-baitnya dengan
lebih mudah.
6. Artikan lagu kesayangan anda.
Setiap orang pasti mempunyai lagu kesayangan. Kalau kebetulan lagu kesayangan anda dalam
berbahasa Inggris, kenapa tidak coba diartikan? Akan bisa lebih menghayati lagu tersebut, dan anda
pun akan menambah bank kosa kata.
7. Coba menonton film berbahasa Inggris tanpa membaca terjemahan.
Pertama-tama akan membuat pusing kepala, tapi latihan ini sangat penting. Otak anda pun akan
terlatih untuk ter-set dalam bahasa Inggris. Bisa berpikir dalam bahasa Inggris akan membantu ketika
anda harus mendengarkan, berbicara dan menulis dalam bahasa Inggris.
