Text 1

If you’re considering a job as a television reporter, you may already know that there are
advantages and disadvantages. It’s important to look at both sides before determining whether this is
truly the job for you.
This kind of television journalism job also offers excitement and fun. To be on a case,
investigating a story and searching for the truth can be exhilarating and exciting.
Moreover, the pay depends on what level of reporting you’re at. Obviously, more popular faces
will get paid more because more people tune in to watch the reporter. Making a name for yourself
can really kickstart your career and help it become very benefical for you. This is also a great stepping
stone into other types of journalism, from writing jobs to news shows to talk shows.
There’s also the benefit of really being able to help solve cases and ensure that the public is
informed–depending upon what type of television reporter job you secure. To realize you’re doing a
good thing is very rewarding in any job.
Not only is television reporting a very demanding job, but it can come with extremely long
hours. This means less time with family and loved ones, which can obviously put strain on
relationships.
In several cases, television reporting can also be dangerous. If you’re chasing stories that are
related to crimes, there’s always the risk of injury, or death.
Another con is that television reporting comes with its own set of discriminations. Individuals
who are considered nice looking and attractive will have a higher chance of succeeding, because the
public would rather tune in to watch an attractive person report the news.
All in all, you need to look at your own desire and determine whether it’s truly important to
you to pursue this industry.

6. Read the following paragraphs

1. From the arguments for and against chemical fertilizers above, we should be able to consider
whether to use chemical fertilizers or organic ones. The most important thing is that we
should not give excessive fertilizer to plant

2. On its negative side, chemical fertilizers have high acid content that can be dangerous to the
soil’s population of microorganisms. Acids in chemical fertilizers, like sulfuric acid and
hydrochloric acid, lead to high soil acidity which in turn results in the destruction of nitrogen-
fixing bacteria, the microorganism that play a key role in supplying a growing plant’s
nitrogen needs. In this aspect, chemical fertilizers could potentially stunt plant’s growth.

3. Chemical fertilizers are synthetically produced plant nutrients from inorganic materials.
There are arguments for and against them.

4. Another negative side of chemical fertilizers is that they are more expensive than organic
ones. It’s not surprising, since they have to be purchased from a gardening store or
horticulturists.

5. On its positive side, similar with organic fertilizers, chemical fertilizers contain nitrogen,
phosphorus and potassium. Moreover, chemical fertilizers can provide plants with an
immediate supply of nutrients when the situation demands it. This condition is different from
organic fertilizers. Organic fertilizers can only have either a high content level of one of
these three, or have all three nutrients at lower levels.

The best arragement of the paragraphs to make a good text is ......

A. 1-2-3-5-4
B. 5-3-1-2-4
C. 3-5-2-4-1
D. 2-5-3-4-1
E. 1-4-5-3-2

7. Read the following text , and then complete the last paragraph with your own words.

People like home sweet home. However, making office at home is possible and recommended. Of
course, home office will have both advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is wise to consider
the strengths and weaknesses to have a home office.

People will agree that having an office at home will have benefits. It saves time. We don’t need to
commute which occasionally takes a long time. We are free to organize the work schedule. Having
a home office will save money as we need not purchase or lease office space from rent companies.
What makes it more flexible is that we can arrange part or all parts of our home, as a real office.
What we need is only a wireless router to cover all parts of our house with the Internet. We can run
our business from any part of the house we want, from living rooms, bedrooms, veranda, etc., we
can even sell or purchase by online shopping, for items we need. Furthermore, working at home
might reduce stress, effort and time and divert them to other more productive activities because
while working, we are close to our families.

However, making a home as office also has disadvantages
