Cars Should Be Banned

(Thesis)
Cars should be banned in the city. As we all know, cars create pollution, and cause a lot of
road deaths and other accidents.

(Argument 1)
Firstly, cars, as we all know, give contribution to the most of the pollution in the world. Cars
emit deadly gas that causes illness such as bronchitis, lung cancer, and ‘triggers’ off asthma.
Some of these illnesses are so bad that people can die from them.

(Argument 2)
Secondly, the city is very busy. Pedestrians wander everywhere and cars commonly hit
pedestrains in the city, which causes them to die. Cars today are our roads biggest killers.

(Argument 3)
Thirdly, cars are very noisy. If you live in the city, you may find it hard to sleep at night, or to
concentrate on your homework, and especially when you talk to someone.

(Reiteration)
In conclusion, cars should be benned from the city for the reason listed.

Terjemahan:

Mobil harus dilarang di kota. Seperti yang kita ketahui, mobil membuat polisi dan membuat
banyak kematian di jalan dan kecelakaan.

Pertama, mobil, sebagai mana kita ketahui, menyumbang polusi terbanyak di dunia. Mobil
mengeluarkan gas mematikan yang menyebabkan penyakit seperti bronchitis, kanker paru-
paru, dan pemicu asthma. Beberapa penyakit tersebut sangatlah buruk bagi manusia yang bisa
menyebabkan kematian.

Yang kedua, kota sangatlah sibuk. Pejalan kaki berjalan ke mana-mana dan mobil umumnya
menabrak pejalan kaki di kota, yang menyebabkan kematian. Mobil hari ini adalah pembunuh
terbesar di jalan.

Yang ketiga, mobil sangatlah berisik. Jika kamu tinggal di kota, kamu mungkin akan
menjumpai sangat lah susah untuk tidur di malam hari atau untuk berkonsentrasi pada
pekerjaan rumah kalian, dan khususnya ketika kamu berbicara kepada seseorang.

Kesimpulannya, mobil harus dilarang dari kota berdasarkan alasan tersebut.

 Gold Coin Investment
1.Gold has become a precious metal to mankind since it was the dawn of civilization. The
nature of gold is soft and malleable which people can make and easily change to any forms,
even it is done just by a simple technology. The beautiful golden and shiny color does not
easily fade out. The form of gold can be as jewelry, bar, or coin. Now days gold coin, such as
gold IRA, becomes an advantageous investment.
2.Gold is safe and profitable for investment. In uncertain situations, many people are
turning to gold because gold has a more stable value and regarded as currency without
limitation assets. It is secure and can be cashed out at any time we need. The Gold values
tend to be stable; take a look an IRA gold discussion. It is zero inflation effect. It is very rare
that the gold prices fell. Even every year, the gold price tends to increase.
3.Investments in the form of coins, it is famous as gold coin, is more profitable if it is
compared with the investment gold in the form of jewelry. Gold Coin, for example gold 401k
which some people call 401k gold, is very good when used as an alternative investment,
whether it is for the medium-term investment and long-term investment. Besides that gold
coins need less cost in production and manufacturing sot it is more lucrative than investing
gold in the form of jewelry.
4.Moreover, some people do not just think gold as an investment, but also as collections.
Because the character is a collection so the uniqueness and rareness are the point. There
might be coins that cost up to more than a million because of the history variables,
ownership, and perhaps an important event when the coin is launched.
5.From the reason above, if we decide to make an investment, it could be useful to
consider investing gold coin or think about gold IRA transfer. It is really recommended.

dibahasnya, yaitu tentang betapa berharganya dan bernilainya emas. Gambaran tentang emas
yg dapat dibentuk menjadi apa saja sesuai keinginan karena bahannya yg lembut.Namun

yaitu investasi eman.
2.Pada paragraf kedua yaitu argumen. Namanya juga analytical tentu tujuannya adalah

andprofitable)

juga tidak terpengaruh adanya inflasi
4.Paragraf ketiga dan keempat masih berbicara tentang argumen penulis seperti berinvestasi
emas dalam bentuk coin lebih menguntungkan dari pada berbentuk perhiasan jadi.

Read the following text to answer questions number 1 to 3.

The government should Provide rehabilitation Program for Drug Users

Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the
main things they should get. Instead of punishing drug users in prisons, the
government should provide rehabilitation for them.

Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from
consuming the drugs. Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually
helping them out from traps, which they might accidentally step on.

If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the
problem as drug users will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is
imposed to them. Providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing
them to participate in the programs is better than only arresting them and
doing nothing to their illness. Only drug dealers, traffickers, and wholesalers
should be imprisoned.  

1. Most drug users get drugs from ...

      A. Jails
      B. Peddlers
      C. Traffickers

Read the following text to answer questions number 7 to 10.

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been
serious problem for three reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings,
but it is for biological specimens and experiments. Formalin in Biology is a
10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant

contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their products

animal corpses?
