Dear Chandra,

How are you? We haven’t seen each other for two years. I’m glad finally I found your address. Well, I heard
that you are an athlete. Congratulations! Finally, your dreams come true.
Well, I’d like to tell you about my recent activities in school. I join in a music club, so I practice music every
day. Few months ago, a new music teacher was built in my neighborhood. It is a branch office of a popular
music club. You know that I like playing guitar and piano, so I decided to register. My parents allowed me to
join the club. I participated in the auction held by the club. Fortunately, I passed. I was very happy. I go to the
club every Wednesday and Saturday. I brought my guitar there. My father bought me a grand piano, too. He
really supports me. When he was young, he wanted to be a singer. That’s why he wants me to be a musician.
Now, I’m preparing for a small concert held by the music club. I practice playing piano everyday. I hope I can
do my best.

Earthquakes-being among the most deadly natural hazards-strike

without any prior warning, leaving catastrophe in their wake with
terrible loss of human lives as well as economic loss.
Technically, an earthquake (also known as tremor, quake or temblor) is
a kind of vibration through the earth’s crust. This vibration occurs as a
result of powerful movement of rocks in the earth’s crust. These
powerful movements trigger a rapid release of energy that creates
seismic waves that travel through the earth. Earthquakes are usually
brief, but may repeat over a long period of time.
Earthquakes are classified as large and small. Large earthquakes usually
begin with slight tremors but rapidly take form of violent shocks. The
vibrations from a large earthquakes last for a few days known as
aftershocks. Small earthquakes are usually slight tremors and do not
cause much damage. Large earthquakes are known to take down
buildings and cause death and injury.
Earthquakes are dreaded by everyone.

This text is for questions 26 to 30.
Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new cells and
replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into substances that can
be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion.
The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small pieces by
the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva contains
digestive juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.
From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here, the
food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the food
enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and
moving the food onwards.
In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic branch
projections from the intestine walls) and passed into bloodstream.

What is the purpose of the text above?

To tell about the method of the digestive system
To tell about the process of intestine work
To describe about the food substances
To explain about digestive system
To explain about digestive juice

How can we swallow the food easily?

The food changes into acids absorbed by the villi.
The food must be digested first through the process.
The food is directly swallowed through esophagus into the stomach.
The food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach.
The food we take must be changed into substances carried in the blood to the places.

The food changes into acid.
It can’t be swallowed easily.

It will help our body becoming healthier.
No one concerned with the process of digestive system for their health.

The following sentence is written in passive voice.

Food passes through the esophagus

We all know that everyone is a product of their environment. Circumstantial life events, influences, and
surroundings can further change our behavior. Social media was once reserved for interaction with friends and
family.

When Facebook and Twitter first came out no one could have imagined the impact that it would have on
marketing and directly reaching consumers. Social media already highly influences our shopping,
relationships, and education. But how large of a role does networking through social media play into our lives?
Maybe more than any of us realize.

6
 Although exceptions exist, research suggests that most social networks primarily support pre-existing social
relations. For the most part, Facebook is used to maintain existing offline relationships or solidify offline
connections, as opposed to meeting new people. These relationships may be weak ties, but typically there is
some common offline element among individuals who friend one another, such as a shared class at school.
This is one of the chief dimensions that differentiate social media from earlier forms of public communication
such as newsgroups. Research in this vein has investigated how online interactions interface with offline ones.
Facebook users engage in “searching” for people with whom they have an offline connection more than they
“browse” for complete strangers to meet.

What we update our online status to say has more of an effect on our audience than we think. From a
marketing perspective, think how to positively influence your already existing customers, clients, or brand
advocates online. If you can successfully create positive emotions around your campaign or brand in any way,
the ripple effect can be more pervasive and influential than you might think.

The purpose of the text above is ….

to amuse readers with social media influence
to explain how social media influence people
to describe the influence of social media
to inform the social media influences
to retell the influence of social media

How can social media primarily support pre-existing social relations?

Social media users browse for complete strangers to meet.
Social media users engage in searching for old friends.
Social media helps people meeting new friends.
Social media relationship is a weak tie relation.
Online interactions interface with offline ones.

Main idea of paragraph two is ….

The description of social media networking
The definition of social media networking
The role of people engangement in networking
The role play of social media into people’s live
The ability of social media in boosting offline connection

Based on the text, what is the effect of social media from marketing perspective?
It positively influences existing customers, clients, or brand advocates online.
Online status has more of an effect on our audience than we think.
It can successfully create positive emotions around campaign.
The ripple effect can be more pervasive and influential.
It was once reserved for interaction.
