School Uniform, Another Good Lesson
School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. The uniform of a
school may differ from others. Why should schools use uniforms? Below are some reasons.
First of all, Notre Dame’s Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998 concerning school
uniforms. Their findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms have no direct effect on
“substance abuse, behavioral problems or
attendance.” It also claimed a negative effect on student achievements for those students considered
‘pro-school’.
Secondly, uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of belonging to a
particular community. As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic standards, which is
why a uniform is often adopted by schools which are being reopened with a fresh start after being
classified as failing.
Finally, uniform acts as a social leveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes of the
school and of each other. In institutions without uniform students are often competitive and worry
endlessly about their appearance and the clothes they should wear. Pupils without expensive designer
clothes and trainers may be singled out as social outcasts, or stigmatized as being from poor backgrounds.
For these reasons many parents prefer uniforms as they save them money on buying clothes for school
wear. Considering the findings, schools should implement the uniform as their identity. The government
should also publish some kind of rule which makes uniform compulsory for schools.

The following text is for questions 23 to 27.

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.

Integrated Pest Management
There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly used may
cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most effective
way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the
soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and stronger
ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects
the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen
and applied carefully so that they don't affect the ecological balance and environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in
agriculture and livestock.
11. Which of the following is not directly affected by pesticides used?

CONTOH SOAL ANALYTICAL EXPOSITION TEXT

Even though many people think that national activities are usually concentrated in big cities, village
people can still receive information, education and entertainment through television. Take the national
and the world news for example. These programs generally give its viewers the latest information on
national and international events. By watching news programs, village people can keep abreast of what’s
happening on the other side of the world. Other programs featuring the animal kingdom, farm life, cultural
events, and health issues educate the villagers on various aspects of life. These programs can certainly
broaden their horizons and hopefully give them fresh ideas on how to improve their standard of living.
Programs such as music, film series, quizzes, and dance shows with their entertaining nature
provide visual enjoyment. Relaxing at home while enjoying free entertainment is something villagers
usually look forward to after a day of hard work. So, television really offers a lot of benefits to villagers. It
gives them access to information, education, and entertainment, thus widening their horizons.

Learning English
Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix pleasure with
learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to your English
progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why we use songs in
language learning.
Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the last song
we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both enjoyable and
sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the idea that songs work
on our short-and-long term memory.
Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of repetition,
which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that they are effective
makes them many times more motivating than other text. Although usually simple, some
songs can be quite complex syntactically, lexically and poetically, and can be analyzed in
the same way as any other literary sample.
Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most pop songs
and probably many other types don’t have precise people, place or time reference.
In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage harmony
within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools in sustaining
culture, religion, patriotism and yeas, even revolution.
Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs such as studying
grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension, translating songs, learning
vocabulary, spelling and culture.
From the elaboration above, it can be concluded that learning through music and songs,
learning English can be enjoyable and fun.

The sense of taste is one of a person's five senses. We taste with the help
of taste-buds in the tongue.
There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other
tastes are just mixtures of two or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand taste-buds (or
cells). These are connected to the brain by special nerves which send the
so-called 'tastes messages.
When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste-buds
will pick up the taste. The nerves then send a message to the brain. This
will make us aware of the taste. All this happens in just a few seconds.
There are four kinds of taste-buds, each of which is sensitive to only a

particular taste. These four groups are located in different parts of the
tongue.
The taste-buds for salty and sweet tastes are found round the tip of the
tongue and along its sides. Sour tastes can be picked up only at the sides
of the tongue. The taste-buds of the bitter taste are found at the innermost
edge of the tongue. There are taste-buds at the centre of the tongue.
The senses of smell and sight can affect taste. The good smell of food
increases its taste. Similarly, attractive colours can make food appear
tastier and more delicious. If food does not smell good or is dull-coloured, it
will look tasty and may not taste good at all.
Very hot or cold sensations can make the taste-buds insensitive. Food that
is too hot or too cold, when placed in the mouth, will have no tastes at all.
1. We can taste any kind of food because of ........

A. the good smell of food
B. the four main kinds of taste

Contoh Hortatory Exposition dan Jawaban: Keeping dogs

There are many reasons for keeping dogs as pets in the city area, but many people feel that keeping pet
dogs should not be allowed in the city. Dogs are often not taken care properly. They are kept in small
backyards and rarely taken for walks. They are left in the yard all day by themselves while the family is at
work. Very little attention is given to the dog and it is not a very good life for it. It is no wonder why these
dogs bark and disturb the neighbours and become a nuisance to the community.
On the other hand, not all people treat their dogs this way and why should the people receive a lot of
pleasure and enjoyment from dog's suffer? Dogs can make a lonely person's life happy or make

I feel that we should be allowed to keep dogs in the city, because if it is taken care of properly, dogs can
be a great source of pleasure. As a child I used to enjoy playing and taking care of my pet. There is not

When a person old enough to be responsible for a crime? This question needs to be
investigated because the current law is not good enough
The law at present protects children aged between ten years and four years from being
punished for committing crimes. It is believed that children under fourteen years are too
young to realize the seriousness of their crimes. Mr. Stephen Scarlett, head of the NSW
Children’s Court, describes how clever young offenders use this defense, saying that they
are too young to understand that they have broken the law. Mr. Scarlett, an expert on this
subject, states that the age should be dropped from fourteen to twelve years. I agree with
this.
Teenagers these days are far more sophisticated than those in the past. The law should
recognize this. In a recent survey some people suggested that the age for being responsible
for a crime should be dropped to eight years old. This, I feel, is too young. Fourteen,
however, is too old. Is there anyone who believes that a fourteen-year-old does not know
that it is against the law to steal or vandalize property? By the age of twelve, children are
aware of what is legal and what is not.
Public pressure creates change. It is now up to the public to put pressure on the
government to change the age at which a person may be held responsible for a crime from
fourteen years to twelve years. Out of date laws have no place in a modern society,
especially one that needs people to be responsible for their actions.
9. What does the text above talk about?

A.When a person is old enough to be responsible for a crime
B.When a person is being punished for committing crimes
C.When children are too young to be responsible for a crime

E.When do teenagers realize the seriousness of their crimes

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 tests,
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 continues, 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. Honesty must be put in school’s
vision. Harsh punishment must be applied to students who commit this crime.
23. What is mainly discussed in the text?
a.School policy
b.Harsh punishment
c.Cheating as a crime
d.Mental deterioration
e.Different ways of cheating
24. 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
25. “Students who always cheat deteriorate their mental capacity.” (Paragraph 3)
The underlined word means…
a.support
b.worsen
c.cause
d.create
e.find
26. “They weaken their self confidence.” (Paragraph 3)

If you want to advance your career, you will have to make some careful decisions about
which jobs you take. Consider a job offered for the value it has to your career. It may mean
sacrifices at first. You may have to move to a different region or country to get a job that is
right for you. You may have to work late hours, at least temporarily. You might even have
to take a lower salary for a job that offers you the experience that you need. But you should
never accept a job if it is not related to your career goals.
Accepting a job that is not within your career path will not give you the skill or experience
you need or want. You will find yourself frustrated in such a position and consequently will
not perform your best. This will have an effect on the people around you, who will not feel
as if you are being part of the team. The best advice is to think carefully before accepting
any position and make sure that the job is one you to have.

Dust Bin
To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, a number of dust bins should be increased.
When we look at classrooms, school corridors and school yard, there are paper mineral water
cups, straws, and napkins here and there. The condition of uncleanliness and discomfort really
hinders learning and teaching environment. Litters thrown carelessly cause disease, especially
empty plastic cup or glasses. They can be filled out with water coming from the rain. This can
be placed for dengue mosquitoes to spread out. Besides, these rubbish can deteriorate the
scene. Well painted wall and green school yard do not mean anything litters are scattered
everywhere.
Anyway I notice that most of the students in our school have responsibilities for the school
environment. They put their litters on the proper places. But some are not diligent enough to
find the dust bins. The numbers of dust binds in our schools are not enough. Ore dust bins
should be put beside each of steps, outside of the classrooms, and some more also the
corridors. Probably one dust bin should be in every ten meters. So when students want to throw
away their litters, they can find the dust bins easily.
When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, we do not have problems of freak and
discomfort any more. Our school will be very clean and become a nice place to study.

learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to your English progress.
Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why we use songs in language
learning.
Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the last song we
heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both enjoyable and sometimes
unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the idea that songs work on our short-and-
long term memory.
Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of repetition,
which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that they are effective makes
them many times more motivating than other text. Although usually simple, some songs can be
quite complex syntactically, lexically and poetically, and can be analyzed in the same way as any
other literary sample.
Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most pop songs and
probably many other types don’t have precise people, place or time reference.
In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage harmony within
oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools in sustaining culture,
religion, patriotism and yeas, even revolution.

There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly used may
cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most effective
way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the
soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and stronger
ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects
the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen
and applied carefully so that they don't affect the ecological balance and environment.

School Uniform, Another Good Lesson
School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. The uniform
of a school may differ from others. Why should schools use uniforms? Below are some reasons.
First of all, Notre Dame’s Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998 concerning
school uniforms. Their findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms have no direct
effect on “substance abuse, behavioral problems or attendance.” It also claimed a negative effect
on student achievements for those students considered ‘pro-school’.
Secondly, uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of belonging to
a particular community. As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic
standards, which is why a uniform is often adopted by schools which are being reopened with a
fresh start after being classified as failing.
Finally, uniform acts as a social leveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes of
the school and of each other. In institutions without uniform students are often competitive and
worry endlessly about their appearance and the clothes they should wear. Pupils without
expensive designer clothes and trainers may be singled out as social outcasts, or stigmatized as
being from poor backgrounds. For these reasons many parents prefer uniforms as they save
them money on buying clothes for school wear. Considering the findings, schools should
implement the uniform as their identity. The government should also publish some kind of rule
which makes uniform compulsory for schools.
1. What is the text about?
a. The school rules d. The importance of school uniform
b. The school identity e. The equally among students
c. What we should wear at school
2. In institutions without uniform students, one will be regarded poor because he/she ……
a. does not wear a school uniform d. posses a bad academic record
b. cannot afford to buy a school uniform e. has a bad attitude at school

HOUSE HUSBAND’S HEART RISK
Most people assume that life in the rat race is bad for your health. But reversing the traditional
gender roles, being a house husband is a stressful business, according to the latest research by
American scientist. By giving up their jobs in order to become house husbands, men increase their
risk of heart attack or coronary disease by as much as 82%, according to research based on 10 year
study of 2,500 people in Boston, USA.
Accoding to Dr. Elaine Eaker, the key to the problem is that some men became stressed about
performing a role not traditionally assigm to them by society. Men who stays at home tend not to
have the same levels of support from friends and family as women do the same.
Jack O’Sullivan, of the Father’s Direct, was quoted as saying: “Society expects the main career
should be a woman and society is structured around that. Day care is called mother and toddler
groups and some men feel awkward about belonging to those groups.
Professor Gary Cooper, a psychologist at the University of Manchester, said many men tend to
underestimate the task of caring for a family. He said “Most men think being a house husband
involves putting on a bit of washing, taking the kids to school and then putting their feet up with a cup
of coffee.
They are crazy. Most men are not used to performing a variety of activities simultanously – the kind
of multi-tasking which is second nature to most women.
It is estimated that men have taken over the main homemaker’s role in one in seven homes, as
increasing numbers of women become the main breadwinner. The study also found that women in
high-powered jobs were more likely to develop heart disease than those in more junior positions.
1. The main idea of the first paragraph is…

a. People living in the rat race tend to have heart attacks.
b. The research on house-husbands health involved 2,500 people.
c. Scientists did some research on the people’s health living in Boston.
