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 d
iunduh melalui internet oleh siapa saja dan tidak dipungut biaya. Siapa pun bisa
menggunakannya. Namun ternyata, itu saja belum cukup. Siswa masih memerlukan ba
han latihan agar kompetensi mereka benar-benar terukur. Kenyataannya tidak banya
k buku latihan yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan siswa dan guru. Salah satu buku yang
selalu ditunggu kehadirannya adalah buku PR Bahasa Inggris yang dilengkapi Pega
ngan Guru (PG). Buku PR Bahasa Inggris sudah terbit dalam beberapa edisi. Bapak/
Ibu Guru yang sudah menggunakan buku latihan ini beserta PG-nya mengakui kebergu
naan materi yang ada dalam buku ini pada saat mengajar. Mereka merasa sangat ter
bantu dengan adanya buku PR Bahasa Inggris karena materinya selalu aktual dan me
ndukung tercapainya kompetensi. Dengan demikian, siswa mempunyai banyak kesempat
an berlatih mengembangkan kemampuan mereka, baik secara lisan (spoken) maupun te
rtulis (written). Kali ini buku PR Bahasa Inggris yang juga dilengkapi PG kembal
i hadir dengan beberapa peningkatan mutu. Perubahan itu atas masukan Bapak/Ibu G
uru 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 b
uku siswa. Dengan demikian, Bapak/Ibu Guru dapat memberi bentuk latihan akhir un
it yang berbeda dengan yang ada di buku siswa. Kedua materi itu belum ada di buk
u Pegangan Guru PR Bahasa Inggris edisi sebelumnya. Penyusun sangat berharap buk
u latihan ini sesuai dengan keinginan Bapak/Ibu Guru. Buku ini juga kami harapka
n benar-benar dapat membantu siswa meningkatkan kompetensi mereka dan membantu B
apak/Ibu Guru menciptakan generasi penerus yang cerdas. Penyusun tetap mengharap
kan masukan Bapak/Ibu Guru guna penyempurnaan dan pengembangan buku latihan ini.

Jawaban Review Unit 1 A. Pilihan Ganda Dalam percakapan tersebut Dani berkata Wel
l, I must say that roller coaster is the most exciting game in Dufan.. Dalam kali
mat sebelumnya Budi bertanya dengan menggunakan kata here. Kata tersebut mengacu

an, percakapan tersebut membahas tentang peraturan baru di sekolah (a new rule a
t school), yaitu peraturan bahwa siswa dilarang keluar sekolah saat jam istiraha
t. Kalimat Do you think its a good idea? artinya Apakah kamu berpendapat bahwa itu i

inion). Jawaban disimpulkan berdasarkan kalimat terakhir Andra, It will be boring
if we just stay in our school at the break. yang artinya Akan sangat membosankan
jika kita hanya berada di sekolah saat jam istirahat.. Secara keseluruhan percaka

awal Reni, Look at the car! What do you think of it?. Pilihan jawaban yang lain sa
lah karena bukan merupakan topik yang dibahas dalam percakapan tersebut. 8. D. K
alimat Well, its very beautiful. artinya Mobil tersebut sangat bagus.. Kalimat terseb
ut merupakan ungkapan memberi pendapat (give an opinion). Jawaban disimpulkan be
rdasarkan kalimat Reni, There are some accessories on the car that make it colorf
ul and . . . amazing. yang artinya Ada beberapa asesoris pada mobil itu yang membu
at mobil tersebut kelihatan berwarna dan . . . mengagumkan.. Dalam kalimat selanj
utnya Kiki berkata, Well, I am listening to Umbrella. yang artinya Saya sedang mend
engarkan lagu Umbrella.. Kalimat tersebut menggunakan bentuk the present continuo
us tense. Jadi, kalimat tanya sebelumnya juga menggunakan the present continuous
tense. Di antara keempat pilihan jawaban, yang menggunakan bentuk the present c
ontinuous tense adalah pilihan jawaban (C) yang artinya apa yang sedang kamu den
garkan. Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah karena tidak menggunakan tense yang sesu
ai. Dalam kalimat sebelumnya Hedi menanyakan apakah Umbrella adalah judul lagu R
ihanna. Jadi, respons yang tepat adalah mengiyakan kalimat tersebut, yaitu youre
right. Saat Hedi bertanya apakah Kiki menyukai lagu Umbrella, Kiki menjawab deng
an mengucapkan Yeah.. Kalimat tersebut menunjukkan bahwa Kiki menyukai lagu terseb
ut. Jadi, dapat dipastikan bahwa Umbrella merupakan salah satu lagu favorit Kiki

Dalam kalimat berikutnya sebagai respons dari kalimat tersebut, Kiki berkata, She
is one of my idols.. Jadi, ungkapan yang tepat untuk diucapkan Hedi adalah ungka
pan meminta pendapat Kiki tentang Rihanna. Di antara keempat pilihan jawaban, ya
ng merupakan ungkapan yang sesuai dengan konteks adalah pilihan jawaban (A) yang
artinya apakah kamu menyukai Rihanna. Kalimat soal merupakan respons Kiki terha
dap pertanyaan Hedi tentang alasan mengapa Kiki menyukai Rihanna. Karena menyuka
i Rihanna, dapat dipastikan bahwa Kiki menunjukkan kelebihan Rihanna. Di antara
keempat pilihan jawaban yang merupakan alasan logis mengapa Kiki menyukai Rihann
a adalah karena Rihanna mempunyai suara yang bagus dan bernyanyi dengan bagus. D
alam kalimat sebelumnya Kiki bertanya, Dont you think so?. Kalimat tersebut merupak
an ungkapan meminta persetujuan bahwa Rihanna mempunyai suara yang bagus dan ber
nyanyi dengan bagus. Berdasarkan kalimat sesudahnya yang menunjukkan kelebihan R
ihanna lainnya, ungkapan yang tepat diucapkan Hedi adalah ungkapan menyetujui pe
ndapat Kiki, yaitu I think so. Hedi menyetujui pendapat Kiki tentang Rihanna dan
dia menambahkan kalau tariannya saat menyanyi itu menarik. Karena Kiki mempunya
i pendapat positif tentang Rihanna, dapat disimpulkan kalau Kiki setuju dengan p
endapat Hedi tentang musik Rihanna. Jadi, ungkapan yang tepat diucapkan Kiki ada
lah I agree with your opinion. Teks tersebut merupakan teks descriptive yang men
deskripsikan Frank Lampard. Jadi, tujuan teks tersebut adalah mendeskripsikan
seseorang secara khusus (describe a particular person), yaitu Frank Lampard. 18.
D. Jawaban dapat disimpulkan berdasarkan kalimat pertama paragraf satu Frank Lam
pard is a famous football player.. Jadi, Frank Lampard adalah seorang pemain sepa
kbola (a football player). Frank Lampard lahir pada tahun 1978. Jadi, usia dia s
aat ini adalah 31 tahun (20091978 = 31). Jawaban diketahui berdasarkan kalimat ke
enam dan ketujuh paragraf dua, . . . this man is also a member of the Three Lions
England National squad. Even, now he holds the position as a captain.. Kata famou
s artinya terkenal. Kata tersebut memiliki makna yang sama dengan kata familiar, ya
ng juga berarti terkenal. Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah. Pilihan jawaban (A) a
rtinya berbakat, (C) artinya tampan, dan (D) artinya mahir. Alasan mengapa penul
is memanggil wanita tersebut dengan sebutan Candy Woman adalah karena wanita ter
sebut menjual gula-gula. Hal itu diketahui berdasarkan kalimat kedua paragraf sa
tu, I call her the Candy Woman because she sells candies.. Pada kalimat terakhir p
aragraf satu terdapat kalimat It looks and tastes like honey, . . . .. Jadi, dapat
disimpulkan bahwa gula-gula tersebut memiliki rasa seperti madu. Wanita penjual
gula-gula tersebut biasanya pulang pada petang hari. Hal itu disimpulkan berdas
arkan kalimat pertama paragraf dua, . . . and stays until evening. yang artinya . .
. dan berjualan sampai petang hari.. Jadi, wanita penjual gula-gula tersebut pul
ang pada petang hari.

Jawaban disimpulkan berdasarkan kalimat terakhir paragraf dua, Now and then, she
rings her bell to attract passers-by.. Jadi, yang dilakukan wanita tersebut untuk
menarik orangorang yang lewat adalah dengan cara membunyikan loncengnya. Ciri-c
iri yang tidak sesuai untuk wanita penjual gula-gula tersebut adalah dia tampak
miskin (she looks poor). Pilihan jawaban yang lain merupakan ciri-ciri penjual p
ermen itu, yang sesuai dengan kalimat-kalimat dalam paragraf tiga, She looks chee
rful and is quite neat and well-groomed. I do not think that she needs to earn a
living by selling sweets. yang artinya Dia tampak riang dan cukup rapi dan berpak
aian bagus. Saya pikir dia tidak perlu mencari nafkah dengan menjual gula-gula..
Dalam teks tersebut terdapat frasa Cussons Baby Powder. Jadi, dapat disimpulkan ba
hwa teks tersebut adalah tentang bedak bayi (babys powder). Pilihan jawaban yang
lain salah karena tidak sesuai dengan teks.
28. A.
Teks tersebut merupakan label sebuah bedak bayi. Tujuan label tersebut adalah me
mberi tahu tentang sesuatu, dalam hal ini bedak bayi tersebut. Pada label terseb
ut dijelaskan keunggulan bedak bayi itu. Alasan mengapa produk tersebut berguna
untuk kulit yang sehat adalah karena produk tersebut diperkaya dengan pro-vitami
n B5. Hal itu sesuai dengan kalimat Cussons Baby Powder is enriched with Pro-Vita
min B5 which is beneficial for healthy skin, leaving skin soft, smooth and comfo
rtable.. Kata beneficial artinya bermanfaat. Kata tersebut memiliki makna yang berlaw

past events. It could be someones experiences, someones life in the past, the hist
ory of something, etc. The main feature of a recount text is the use of the simp
le past tense. A recount text has certain elements as follows. Orientation: tell
s 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 (usua
lly optional).

Text 1 Once I lived in a dormitory with some Australian students. There were abo
ut 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 neigh
bor put her chopped garlic in the fridge. All the Australians complained about t
he 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 others
cultures. So, it is not good to fry ikan asin or sambal terasi if you live very near
Australians! By: Daniel Text 2 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 ha
d 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 wasnt a g
host, she started to laugh and told me that it was uang and that the word for to ha
ve was punya. Ill never forget my Indonesian lesson that day. So the moral is dont be
afraid to make mistakesits a great way of learning! (Sarah Wood, an Australian ex

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 sail
ed and fished on the sea all day. We also had races against other boats. When th
e sea was rough, we sailed on a small lake near the sea instead. We were very ca
reful on this lake because there were a lot of sharp rocks there, and the water
was shallow. We did not want to damage our friends 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 weathe
r was fine, we sailed to the land at lunch time, collected pieces of dry wood an
d fried or grilled our fish over them on the beach. There is an island about a m
ile from our friends 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. I

Jawaban: Orientation My family likes the sea very much. When we had a holiday la
st year, we went to a place at the seaside and borrowed a boat from one of our f
riends. 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 ins
tead. 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 friends boat. The
re were not many fish in the lake, but in the sea we caught a lot with a hook, l
ine 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 i
s an island about a mile from our friends house, and we sailed to it. The water w
as very clear there, and there was a beautiful beach with white sand and no rock

Jalan Menara Bunga 12 Bukittinggi
August 14, 2009
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 d
irectly to the remains of De Kock Fortress and found a lot of people jogging alo
ng 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 rent
ed 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 beaut
iful valley. On the bank of the valley there is a long cave, called Japanese cav
e. 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 t
hat time it seemed that there was nothing in the ground. Both the entrance and t
he exit were covered by plants. Thats our first day in Bukittinggi. We are going
to visit Lake Maninjau, Lembah Anai Falls, etc. the following day. Hope to be he
re with you someday. Please reply soon. Love, Vena Junita

Jawaban Review Unit 2 A. Pilihan Ganda 1. B. Jawaban disimpulkan dari kalimat aw

al Ronnie, Wow, what a cool watch you have! Is that a present? yang artinya, Wow, s
ungguh sebuah jam yang bagus! Apakah itu hadiah?. Kalimat-kalimat selanjutnya jug
a menyatakan bahwa percakapan tersebut mengenai jam Eddy (Eddys watch). 2. B. Pil
ihan jawaban ini benar karena sesuai dengan kalimat Eddy mengenai jam itu, Yes, i
ts a birthday present from my aunt. She bought it in Singapore. yang artinya Ya, in
i adalah hadiah ulang tahun dari bibi saya. Dia membelinya di Singapura.. Jadi, y
ang membeli bukan Eddy, tetapi bibi Eddy. 3. C. Kalimat yang dikatakan Ronnie ar
tinya Wow, sungguh sebuah jam yang bagus!. Kalimat ini merupakan ungkapan untuk me
muji (complimenting). 4. A. Dalam percakapan, Donna mengatakan, If you dont mind,
please take the cups on the table. yang artinya Jika kamu tidak keberatan, tolong
ambil cangkir-cangkir di atas meja.. Rio menjawabnya, O.K. yang artinya Baiklah.. Jad
i, Rio akan mengambil cangkir-cangkir di atas meja untuk dibawa ke dapur. 5. C.
Ungkapan tersebut yang artinya Jika kamu tidak keberatan, tolong ambilkan cangircangkir di atas meja. adalah ungkapan untuk meminta bantuan (ask for help). 6. B.
Percakapan diawali dengan pelayan toko yang menanyakan apakah ada yang dapat di
bantu (2), lalu Anna meminta agar pelayan toko itu mengambilkannya baju (4), pel
ayan toko menanyakan baju yang dimaksud (3), dan Anna menjawabnya (6). Selanjutn
ya, pelayan toko memberikan baju tersebut (1) dan Anna berterima kasih kepadanya
(5). 7. D. Kalimat soal artinya Maukah Anda mengambilkan baju di sana?. Dari kali

(asking for help). Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah karena bukan merupakan jenis
ungkapan yang tepat. Dalam percakapan tersebut Andra meminta pendapat Paula meng
enai sup masakannya. Respons yang tepat adalah ungkapan untuk memberi pendapat/m
emuji, yaitu (A) yang artinya um . . . (masakan) ini lezat. Di awal surat, Renny
menulis On my last school holiday, my clasmates and I went to Borobudur.. Jadi, d
ia pergi bersama teman sekelasnya. Jawaban disimpulkan berdasarkan kalimat The hu
geness of the temple really impressed me.. Kata hugeness yang artinya kebesaran menun
jukkan ukuran (size) candi Borobudur. Dalam surat Renny mengungkapkan bahwa meng
unjungi Borobudur adalah pengalaman yang manis, yang berarti dia menikmati libur
annya di Borobudur. Jadi, pilihan jawaban (C) salah karena bertentangan dengan h
al ini. Kata we dalam kalimat tersebut mengacu pada Renny dan temanteman sekelasny
a yang pergi ke Candi Borobudur. Kata magnificent mempunyai arti yang sama dengan f
abulous, yaitu megah. Dari keseluruhan isi surat diketahui bahwa surat tersebut men
genai pengalaman penulis saat dirawat di rumah sakit (when she was hospitalized)
. Pilihan jawaban ini sesuai dengan kalimat kedua paragraf pertama, Well, I just
wanted to tell you that I was in hospital last week. yang artinya Ya, saya hanya i
ngin memberi tahu bahwa saya dirawat di rumah sakit minggu lalu.. Jawaban disimpu
lkan dari kalimat, Finally, I had to stay there for one week. yang artinya Akhirnya
, saya harus dirawat di sana selama satu minggu.. Kata immediately memiliki makna se
gera. Kata ini memiliki makna yang sama dengan straightly yang artinya langsung.
Jawaban disimpulkan dari kalimat Because of my illness, I am now more careful abo
ut keeping my house clean especially my room. yang artinya

Karena sakit itu, saya sekarang lebih hati-hati menjaga rumah tetap bersih, terut
ama kamar saya.. Teks tersebut merupakan teks recount, yang strukturnya adalah Or
ientationEventsRe-orientation. Dalam teks disebutkan Then, they caught the 8-meter
long phyton. yang artinya Kemudian, mereka menangkap ular piton sepanjang 8 meter..
Jawaban disimpulkan dari kalimat It did not move when he was approaching it. yang
artinya Ular itu tidak bergerak saat dia mendekatinya.. Pilihan jawaban ini benar
berdasarkan kalimat, A workman was just going to sit under the tree when suddenl
y he saw a long creature lying in the drain. yang artinya Seorang pekerja akan dud
uk ketika tiba-tiba dia melihat makhluk panjang yang tergeletak di saluran.. Pili
han jawaban ini benar karena sesuai dengan kalimat akhir teks, yaitu The police w
ere trying to find the owner. yang artinya Polisi berusaha menemukan pemiliknya.. P
ilihan jawaban yagn lain salah karena tidak sesuai isi teks. Kata authority yang a
rtinya pihak berwenang memiliki arti yang hampir sama dengan control atau pengawas
an. Jawaban disimpulkan dari kalimat I didnt want my mark to be lower than before.
So, I decided to cheat. yang artinya Saya tidak ingin nilai saya lebih rendah dar
ipada sebelumnya. Jadi, saya memutuskan untuk mencontek.. Pilihan jawaban yang la
in hanya sebagai gagasan pendukung. Dalam teks terdapat kalimat On Fridays, befor
e the lesson began, we always had a small test or quiz about the previous lesson
s. yang artinya Setiap Jumat, sebelum pelajaran dimulai, kami selalu mengerjakan t
es kecil atau quiz tentang pelajaran sebelumnya. dan juga kalimat And because the
day before the lesson was a holiday, I went on a trip with my family. yang artiny
a Dan karena hari sebelum pelajaran itu adalah hari libur, saya pergi bertamasya
bersama
27. A.
28. B.
29. A.
30. D.
keluarga saya.. Dari kedua kalimat ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penulis bertamasy
a pada hari Kamis (Thursday), sehari sebelum quiz pada hari Jumat. Pilihan jawab
an ini benar berdasarkan kalimat On Fridays, before the lesson began, we always h
ad a small test or quiz . . . . yang artinya Setiap Jumat, sebelum pelajaran dimul
ai, kami selalu mengerjakan tes kecil atau kuis., sehingga hanya sekali (once) se
minggu. Jawaban disimpulkan dari kalimat, However, my deskmate knew this. Then, h
e reported it to my teacher. yang artinya Namun, teman sebangku saya mengetahui ha
l ini. Kemudian, dia melaporkannya kepada guru.. Jawaban disimpulkan dari kalimat
, . . . I hadnt studied before the test. . . . So, I decided to cheat. yang artinya
, . . . saya belum belajar sebelumnya. . . . . Jadi, saya memutuskan untuk mencon

Well, it is called Eiffel Tower. It is one of the most favorite places in the w

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 Tow
er. It first opened on March 31, 1889. And . . . every seven years workers repai
nt it with fifty tons of dark brown paint. During the renovation of the Eiffel T
ower 1,000 tons were removed from it. You know, the Eiffel Tower weighs 7,000 to
ns. The base is 412 square feet or 2.5 acres. The tower itself is about 1,052 fe
et high including the television antenna at the top. Otis Elevator Company had d
esigned glass-walled elevators, which climbed the legs of the tower to get to th
e 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 loo
ked on a clear day, from the top platform, the view stretches for 50 miles, arou
nd 80 kilometers.

The Eiffel Tower consists of three levels. On the first level are three-glass-co
nfined structures. Next is the second level. They both contain one restaurant: L
e 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, conf
erences, 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 t

Contoh jawaban: San Fransisco San Francisco is my favorite city in the United St
ates. 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 t
he hills, with beautiful old brick and wooden houses on either side. One of my f
avorite things to do in San Francisco is to ride a cable car. It takes you to mo
st parts of the city. Its not a very comfortable ride, but its exciting and the vi
ews you see from the car are wonderful. Besides, I like the weather in San Franc
isco. It never gets too cold or too hot. The summers are pleasant. The fresh bre
ezes 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 Fra
ncisco.

Written Text
Read the text and study the explanation. Title Mohammad Ali Mohammad Ali is stil
l one of the most recognizable men on earth. And decades after he burst upon the
scene as a gold medal winner at the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy, Muhammad Ali
remains a magical figure, known and loved throughout the world.
Orientation
249
Events
Ali brought new speed and grace to his sport, and his charm and wit changed fore
ver what we expect a champion to be. His accomplishments in the ring were the st
uff of legend: two fights with Sonny Listen, where he proclaimed himself The Grea
test and proved he was; three ambitious wars with Joe Frazier; the stunning victo
ry over George Foreman in Zaire; and dethroning Leon Spinks to become the heavyw
eight champion for the third time. But there was always far more to Muhammad Ali
than what took place in a boxing ring. His early embrace of the Nation of Islam
and his insistence on being called Muhammad Ali instead of his slave name, Cassiu
s Clay, introduced a new era in black pride. His refusal to be inducted into the
United States army anticipated the growing antiwar movement of the 1960s. And h
is willingness to stage his fights in different countries such as Kinshasa, Zair
e; Manila, the Philippines; and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, signaled a shift away fr
om super power dominances toward a growing awareness of the importance of the th
ird world. Today Ali is a deeply religious man who causes feeling of love and re
spect wherever he travels.
Adapted from: An official biography by Tom Hauser
Re-orientation
The text is also a recount text, but in written form. The main feature of a reco
unt text is the use of the simple past tense. A recount text has certain element
s. Those are orientation, a series of events and sometimes re-orientation. Orien
tation tells about what happened, where the story happened, who was involved in
the story, when it occured, or why it happened. A series of events tell the stor
y. These are usually described in time order. Re-orientation is the closure of e
vents (usually optional).
Grammar Section
The Past Continuous Tense Read the dialogs and pay attention to the bold-typed s
entences. Study the explanation. 1. Lelly : Where were the girls? Dion : They we
re singing in the veranda when I was here. 2. Jarot : Have you met your cousin?
Vina : Not yet. I was taking a nap when she arrived. The bold-typed clauses use
the past continuous or the past progressive tense. You use it to indicate that a
n action was going on at a certain time in the past. Pattern: Subject + was/were
+ V-ing + complement Examples: 1. Dina : What were you doing at 2:00 p.m. yeste
rday? Metta : I was doing my homework. 2. Tuti was watching TV at about 9:00 p.m

Jawaban Review Unit 4 A. Pilihan Ganda Percakapan terjadi di sekolah. Hal ini se
suai dengan kalimat awal pada percakapan tersebut, Its the break time. yang artinya
Saatnya istirahat.. Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah karena tidak sesuai dengan ko
nteks percakapan. Jawaban ini sesuai dengan ucapan Evi pada percakapan itu, yait
u By the way, I have three loaves of bread. Would you like one? yang artinya Ngomon
gomong, aku punya tiga potong roti. Kamu mau satu potong?. Itu berarti Evi menawa
rkan satu potong roti (a loaf of bread) kepada Lala. Pada akhir percakapan Lala
menerima tawaran Evi dengan mengucapkan, Well then, thanks. yang artinya Baiklah, t
erima kasih.. Pilihan jawaban (A) yang artinya kamu sungguh baik digunakan untuk
mengungkapkan rasa terima kasih, (B) yang artinya ini, ambillah digunakan untuk
memberi sesuatu, dan (D) yang artinya saya ikut prihatin digunakan untuk mengung
kapkan simpati atau perhatian. Berdasarkan konteks percakapan, Janet meminta san
g sopir untuk lebih cepat (Could you drive a little faster, please?) karena dia
tidak ingin terlambat. Sang sopir pun memenuhi permintaan Janet. Jawaban ini ses
uai dengan tokoh yang tertulis pada percakapan tersebut, yaitu Hanung dengan ibu
nya (mother and son). Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah karena tidak sesuai dengan
konteks percakapan. Pada percakapan tersebut Hanung mencium bau telur goreng at
au ayam goreng. Ternyata bau nugget goreng. Berdasarkan konteks tersebut, percak
apan terjadi di ruang makan (dining room). Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah karen
a tidak sesuai dengan konteks percakapan.

Pilihan jawaban (D) artinya Boleh saya minta satu, Bu?. Ungkapan tersebut digunaka
n untuk meminta sesuatu. Pilihan jawaban (A) yang artinya kamu boleh memakannya
saat makan siang, maaf, digunakan untuk menolak memberi sesuatu, (B) yang artiny
a apakah ini telur goreng atau ayam goreng, digunakan untuk meminta informasi, d
an (C) yang artinya ini pasti nugget goreng, kan digunakan untuk meminta konfirm
asi. Pada awal percakapan Kristin mengungkapkan bahwa kopor itu terlalu berat. O
leh karena itu, dia meminta bantuan Nurma untuk menjinjingnya bersama-sama. Pili
han jawaban (A) merupakan ungkapan yang digunakan untuk meminta bantuan. Nurma p
un membantunya dengan mengucapkan, With pleasure.. Dalam percakapan itu tokoh A in
gin bertemu dengan Ira, tetapi Ira sedang makan. Oleh karena itu, ucapan tokoh B
yang paling tepat adalah meminta tokoh A agar menelepon kembali nanti (Could yo
u call . . . ?). Tokoh A menyetujuinya. Jawaban ini sesuai dengan kalimat yang d
iucapkan Ajeng, yaitu Sani, will you go to see Ungu concert this afternoon? yang a
rtinya Sani, maukah kamu melihat konser Ungu sore nanti?. Pilihan jawaban yang lai
n salah karena tidak sesuai dengan isi percakapan. Pilihan jawaban (C) yang arti
nya sebenarnya saya ingin, tetapi tidak bisa, digunakan untuk menolak undangan.
Pilihan jawaban (A) salah karena ucapan itu digunakan untuk mengundang atau meng
ajak, (B) digunakan untuk memberi informasi, dan (D) digunakan untuk merespons a
tas penolakan undangan. Ungkapan tersebut artinya Bagaimana kalau kamu bergabung
dengan kami?. Ungkapan tersebut adalah ungkapan ajakan. Jadi, Ario mengucapkan un
gkapan itu untuk

mengajak Febri (to invite Febri) untuk bergabung. Pilihan jawaban yang lain sala
h karena tidak sesuai dengan maksud ucapan itu. Pilihan jawaban (C) ini sesuai d
engan ucapan Ario, I want to go to Widyas house to study together. yang artinya Saya
akan pergi ke rumah Widya untuk belajar kelompok.. Pilihan jawaban yang lain sal
ah karena tidak sesuai dengan isi percakapan itu. Dalam percakapan tersebut Aris
mengundang Adi untuk mampir ke rumahnya. Ada sesuatu yang ingin dia berikan. Ad
i menyetujuinya. Jadi, ungkapan yang sesuai untuk menerima undangan berdasarkan
konteks isi percakapan tersebut adalah (B) Sure, I can. Dalam percakapan tersebu
t Rika mengundang Rio untuk datang ke pesta ulang tahunnya. Tampaknya Rio mau da
tang karena Rika meresponsnya dengan mengatakan, O.K, then. Ill wait for you. yang
artinya Baiklah. Aku akan menunggumu.. Ungkapan menerima ajakan adalah (A) Sure, I
will. Gagasan utama suatu paragraf biasanya terletak di awal atau di akhir para
graf terkait. Jawaban ini sesuai dengan kalimat pertama paragraf satu, yaitu ber
dirinya Budi Utomo (the founding of Budi Utomo). Kalimat berikutnya merupakan ka
limat pendukung. Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah karena bukan gagasan utama para
graf itu. Kata improve dan develop mempunyai arti sama, yaitu meningkatkan. Pilihan
jawaban (B) artinya menciptakan, (C) artinya merencanakan, dan (D) artinya mempe
rpanjang; memperluas. Pernyataan pada pilihan jawaban (A) tidak sesuai dengan ka
limat pertama bacaan tersebut, yaitu Budi Utomo (also Boedi Oetomo; Pure Endeavor),
founded in May 20, 1908, was . . . .. Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah karena ses

23. C.
24. D.
Pilihan jawaban (D) sesuai dengan isi keseluruhan bacaan yang menjelaskan terjad
inya Kongres Pemuda Indonesia pertama, kedua, sampai kongres yang menghasilkan S
umpah Pemuda. Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah karena hanya sebagai pendukung gag
asan utama bacaan. Kata it pada kalimat itu merupakan kata ganti subjek dari subje
k yang telah disebutkan pada kalimat sebelumnya. Kalimat sebelumnya adalah The fi
rst Indonesian youth congress was held in Batavia in 1926, but produced no forma
l decisions.. Jadi, jelas bahwa kata tersebut mengacu pada The first Indonesian yo
uth congress. Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah. Pilihan jawaban (A) merupakan pele
ngkap dari kalimat itu sendiri, sedangkan (C) dan (D) bukan subjek dari kalimat
sebelumnya sehingga tidak dapat digantikan oleh kata it tersebut. Jawaban ini sesu
ai dengan kalimat In October 1928, the second Indonesian youth congress was held
. . . . dan In the third and final session, held at Jalan Kramat Raya No, 126, on
October 28 . . . .. Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah karena tidak sesuai dengan is
i bacaan. Subjek kalimat itu adalah she, maka bentuk reflexsive pronoun-nya adalah
herself. Kalimat soal itu artinya, Kasihan gadis kecil itu. Dia berbicara sendir
i dan sering tertawa.. Dalam percakapan tersebut ada dua peristiwa yang terjadi b
ersamaan, kegiatan belajar para siswa dan atap ruang kelas yang runtuh. Atap run
tuh terjadi lebih cepat daripada kegiatan belajar. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan yan
g dilakukan anak-anak menggunakan bentuk past continuous tense (were playing), s
edangkan atap ruang kelas yang runtuh dalam bentuk simple past tense (happened).

Sesuai dengan isi teks, teks tersebut disebut pesan lisan (a spoken message). Pi
lihan jawaban yang lain salah. Pilihan jawaban (A) yang artinya surat biasanya l
ebih panjang daripada teks itu. Surat juga memiliki bagian tanggal surat, orang
yang dituju beserta alamatnya, isi surat, dan pengirim surat. Pilihan jawaban (B
) yang artinya undangan biasanya berisi orang yang dituju, isi undangan, pengund
ang. Pilihan jawaban (C) yang artinya peringatan biasanya berupa kalimat perinta
h atau larangan. Pilihan jawaban ini sesuai dengan kalimat kedua pesan tersebut,
yaitu She wanted to spend her day here.. Kalimat itu artinya Dia ingin tinggal di
sini (rumah pembicara).. Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah karena tidak sesuai deng
an isi pesan itu. Pesta tersebut akan diselenggarakan di rumah keluarga Johnson
di 4467 Seedling Drive. Pilihan jawaban (A) dan (B) salah karena tidak tercantum
dalam undangan itu. Pilihan jawaban (D) merupakan orang yang harus dihubungi un
tuk konfirmasi kedatangan. Kata treat yang sesuai dengan konteks itu bermakna menra
ktir. Pilihan jawaban (B) adalah to entertain, (C) adalah to take care, dan (D) a
dalah to threat. Berdasarkan isi undangan itu, pesta ulang tahun Kim akan disele
nggarakan pada tanggal 13 Maret, pukul 6:30 petang (bukan 6:30 pagi, pilihan jaw
aban (B)). Jadi, pilihan jawaban (C) benar. Pilihan jawaban (A) dan (D) tidak te

Medan, May 4, 2008 Dear Egar, I am very sorry for this late reply. I have just r
eturned from my hometown. I was on a holiday, but I did not really enjoy my stay
there. Things have changed. When I was a child, I used to swim and go fishing w
ith my brother and my friends in the river near my house. I liked the river beca
use the water was clear and there were a lot of fish in it. Now, the river is fu
ll of garbage and the water is turbid. The fish are gone and the area around the
river is dirty. There are no children swimming and fishing in the river because
the water is ominous. The chemical waste from the factories makes it poisonous.
The condition of the river makes me sad. What about your hometown? Do you have
the same problem? Thats all. I have to study for the coming semester exam. Please
reply soon. Yours, Zaki

meminta maaf karena baru bisa membalas surat itu. Dia baru saja pulang kampung.
Selanjutnya, dia menceritakan kekecewaannya (disappointment) karena keadaan kam

Jadi, pilihan jawaban yang benar adalah (D). Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah. Pi
lihan jawaban (A) happiness artinya kebahagiaan, (B) amazement artinya rasa kagu
m, dan (C) entertainment artinya hiburan. 33. The letter shows that the conditio
n of Zakis hometown on May 4, 2008 was ________ than it was when he was a child.

h, ikannya lenyap, dan lingkungan di sekitar sungai kotor. Pilihan jawaban yang

lah karena tidak sesuai dengan konteks bacaan. 38. A. save B. waste C. spend D.

cocok dengan konteks. 39. A. C. cancelation reservations B. D. transportation ac
comodation

surat itu. Jawaban ini dapat disimpulkan berdasarkan fakta bahwa Zaki baru saja
pulang kampung. Itu berarti pilihan jawaban (C) kurang tepat. Demikian pula den

iki : ________. Eny : Great! Now, lets think about what to do next. A. I agree B.
I disagree C. No way D. I dont know
299
Jawaban: C Pasangan kata (collocation) yang tepat menggunakan kata kerja make ad
alah cancelation (pembatalan) dan reservations (pemesanan), sehingga pilihan jaw
aban (B) transportation dan (D) accomodation salah. Secara logika kalimat, kata
yang tepat adalah (C) reservations karena tugas agen perjalanan adalah menyediak
an semua fasilitas yang diperlukan oleh peserta tour, antara lain menyiapkan tik
et dan memesan tempat, termasuk hotel (reservations). Pilihan jawaban (A) cancel
ation tidak cocok dalam konteks ini. Jadi, pilihan jawaban yang benar adalah (C)

s to Asian tapirs. The tapir is black at the front and white at the back. It has
four toes on the front feet and three behind. It also bears a pronounced, beakshaped trunk. The tapir lies-up during the day in dense undergrowth (often close
to a river or stream). Its coloring serves to confuse predators, like tigers, w

Text 5 The Sea Eagle There is an eagle nesting on the tree top near my grandpare
nts house in Pangandaran. It was a sea eagle. The color of its feathers is light
brown. It has a strong and sharp yellowish beak. Its claws are very sharp. It hu
nts for fish in the sea, but sometimes it hunts chickens and small birds. It is
easy to recognize because it has a strong a streamlined, sharp beak and a stream
-line body. Its forelimbs (or arms) serve as wings. This means that they are of
little use for anything except flying. It walks on two legs and has a very flexi
ble neck and strong beak to handle foods, to care for its feathers, and for many
other jobs that non-flying animals do with paws, claws or hands on their foreli
mbs.

Text 1 I have a story about being embarrassed in Australia due to differences in
culture. My story is about ordering tea at a coffee shop. I always had a nice c
up of tea every morning in Indonesia. It gave me a great feeling in the morning.
So, when I arrived in the early morning for the first time at Sydney airport, t
he first thing that I looked for was a coffee shop. Finally, I found a nice coff
ee shop with many people queuing to order. Quite confidently I jumped into the q
ueue. I thought that I had better English than before since I had recently learn
ed English at IALF. Then, a very friendly girl asked me if she could help me. I
said that I would like to have a cup of tea. Then, she asked me what kind of tea
I would like to order, black or white tea? I thought she was making a morning j
oke with me. My quick response, but with some confusion, was that I said red tea
please. With a very unfriendly face she asked me again, Black or white tea, plea
se?, I didnt say anything as I didnt know what actually black or white tea was. I o
nly knew that having tea is normally with or without sugar. Then, she said, Next,
please. She then asked the next customer behind me. I realised then that I didnt
understand Australian customs. One day I had a cup of tea at the university tea
room and I saw a lady drinking tea with milk in it. Then, I asked her, Can I say
that you are having a white tea? She smiled and said, Yes, you can. Finally, I unde
rstood that black tea is no milk added and white tea is with milk. How big is th
e difference of having tea between Indonesian and Australian people!!!

Text 1 Bhinneka Tunggal Ika The national emblem of the Republic of Indonesia, Ga
ruda Pancasila, is emblazoned with the words Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. They mean Unit
y in Diversity or We are of many kinds, but we are one. This motto is a founding pr
inciple of the modern Indonesian nation, which declares the essential unity of i
ts members despite ethnic, regional, social or religious differences. The concep
t of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika is not new to Indonesian history. It can be traced bac
k to the time of the construction of Borobudur when the Sailendra dynasty ruled
on the plains of Central Java in the eighth and ninth centuries. Two hundred yea
rs later, in the Brantas Valley in East Java, King Airlangga built a united king
dom based on this same principle. It was, however, the 14th century poet sage of
Majapahit, Mpu Tantular, who is said to have committed the phrase to writing fo
r the first time. In his religious poem Sutasoma, composed during the reign of K
ing Rajasanagara (Hayam Wuruk), Mpu Tantular expounded a doctrine of reconciliat
ion between the Hindu and Buddhist faiths. Such a spirit of religious tolerance
was an essential element in the foundation and security of the newly emerging St
ate of Majapahit, which reached the height of its power and influence under the
guiding hand of the Prime Minister Gajah Mada. The words of Mpu Tantular were an
inspiration to the founders of the first Independent Government of the Republic
of Indonesia, and today they are found immortalized on the national emblem.
