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 or to preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservatives.
Of course when it is used for food preservative, it will be very dangerous to human’s body.
The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This condition makes
the people’s health is really in a threat. When the control is weak and the use formalin was
spread wide all over the Indonesian regions, and these days it has really happened, the citizen’s
bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their products
which contain formalin and dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our digestive system
absorbs the substance that should be for the human and animal corpses?

Skateboarding
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.

A. In the main roads and foot paths
B. In front of the supermarket
C. In front of their home
D. In the suburbs
E. In the park

Teks 2
Should Americans be forced to Public Transportation?
First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should we all
abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is it asking if
every American should do so. It is asking weather some Americans should have to take public
transit some of the time, and I would say yes.
Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York there just isn’t room
for any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow, they need more people to take public
transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One bus can safely hold 40 people so even at half capacity
that’s nearly 20 cars’ worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking spaces that
don’t need to built.
There are a lot of people that can take with transit little inconvenience but simply don’t because
they never have in the past. If residents in areas with plenty of transit had to buy transit passes
as part of their property taxes then they would have little excuse not to bus occasionally. QA
number of universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition feeds, forcing their students to
take the bus. When given the change the majority of those students have voted to keep these
programs.
A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking spaces in
exchange for a discount on their rent would also be community car to several apartment tenants
that arrange a schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive reviews.
So yes, I would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as Americans whom
are already forced to do so find that it works well for them.

12. What does writer suggest?

A. Americans should learn to use public transportation
B. Americans should give up their car
C. Americans should be forced to use public transportation
D. The government should limit the number cars
E. The government should charge extra taxes for those who uses cars

13. The following is one of the writer’s suggestions in forcing people to use Public
Transportation ….
A. Make people buy transit passes as part of their property taxes
B. Banning the use of cars
C. Stop automobile productions
D. Fine people who do not use public transportation
E. Limit the number of gasoline

14. What is the purpose of the article?

A. Defining the functions of public transportation
B. Arguing that Americans should not use public transportation
C. Suggesting American the ways to use public transportation
D. Asking for more public transportation
E. Suggesting that Americans should be forced to use public transportation

15. What is the function of the first paragraph?

A. Repeating the thesis or proposal
B. Stating the proposal
C. Stating the reasons behind the thesis
D. Describing the problem

Teks 1
There are a lot of discussions as to whether children should be given homework or not.

Some people claim that children do enough work in school already. They also argue that
children have hobbies that they want to do after school, such, as sports or music. A further point
they make is that a lot of homework is pointless and doesn’t help the child learn at all.

However, there are also strong arguments against this point of view. Parents and teachers
argue that it is important to find out whether children can work on their own

without the support from the teacher. They say that the evening is a good time for children to sit
down and think about what they have learned in school. Furthermore they claim that the school
day is too short to get anything done that needs doing and it makes sense to send home tasks
like independent reading or further writing tasks that don’t need teacher’s support.

On balance, I think that some homework is a good idea but that it should only given at the
weekend when children have more time.
