In Australia there are three levels of governments, the federal government, state governments and local
governments. All of these levels of government are necessary. This is so for number of reasons. First, the federal
government is necessary for the big things. They keep the economy in order and look after like defensE.
Similarly, the state governments look after the middle sized things. For example they look after law and order,
preventing things like vandalism in school. Finally, local government look after the small thins. They look after
things like collecting rubbish, otherwise everyone would have diseasE. Thus for the reason above, we can
conclude that the three levels of the government are necessary.

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.

I strongly believe that mobile phones are necessary. My reasons for this belief are that these phones
are convenient for business people who travel a lot, and they are handy for emergencies.
To begin with, mobile phones are necessary in the case of emergencies. For instance, if you fall down
a set of stairs in a building and are badly injured and can’t reach a pay phone, it is handy to have one
to use. Or, if your car breaks down in the middle of the night in a strange neighbourhood, it would be
dangerous to leave it in search of a public phone booth.
My other main reason is that mobile phones are convenient for business people. For example, if you
are out of the state or even overseas and you have to contact a client to do some important work, it is
useful to have one to use. By using a mobile phone, important information can be received. People
can’t stay in an office all day waiting for their phone to ring. Some people have to go and do jobs or
they will go out of business. You can even send faxes or messages and use the internet with your
mobile.
In conclusion, I believe that mobile phones have now become a necessary part of every day life.
Instant communication will ensure that information can be passed on with a simple press of a button.
Whether this is to do with business or personal information or emergencies, it goes to show that they
are necessary in the new millennium.

Arti
Saya sangat percaya bahwa ponsel diperlukan. Alasan saya untuk keyakinan ini adalah bahwa
telepon ini nyaman bagi orang-orang bisnis yang sering bepergian, dan mereka praktis untuk
keadaan darurat.
Untuk mulai dengan, ponsel diperlukan dalam kasus darurat. Misalnya, jika Anda jatuh dari tangga di
gedung dan terluka parah dan tidak dapat mencapai telepon umum, Anda dapat menggunakannya.
Atau, jika mobil Anda rusak di tengah malam di lingkungan yang aneh, akan berbahaya jika
meninggalkannya untuk mencari bilik telepon umum.
Alasan utama saya yang lain adalah bahwa ponsel nyaman bagi orang-orang bisnis. Misalnya, jika
Anda keluar dari negara bagian atau bahkan di luar negeri dan Anda harus menghubungi klien untuk
melakukan beberapa pekerjaan penting, ada gunanya memiliki satu untuk digunakan. Dengan
menggunakan ponsel, informasi penting dapat diterima. Orang-orang tidak dapat tinggal di kantor
sepanjang hari menunggu telepon berdering. Beberapa orang harus pergi dan melakukan pekerjaan
atau mereka akan keluar dari bisnis. Anda bahkan dapat mengirim faks atau pesan dan
menggunakan internet dengan ponsel Anda.
Kesimpulannya, saya percaya bahwa ponsel kini telah menjadi bagian penting dari kehidupan sehari-
hari. Komunikasi instan akan memastikan bahwa informasi dapat diteruskan dengan menekan satu
tombol. Apakah ini berkaitan dengan informasi bisnis atau pribadi atau keadaan darurat, itu
menunjukkan bahwa mereka diperlukan dalam milenium baru.

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?
Considering the reasons, we can make a conclusion that the use of formalin and other preservatives
is really a serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.

Arti
Penggunaan formalin dan pengawet berbahaya lainnya dalam makanan telah menjadi masalah serius
karena tiga alasan. Pertama, formalin bukan untuk manusia, tetapi untuk spesimen dan eksperimen
biologi. Formalin dalam Biologi adalah larutan formaldehida 10% dalam air yang biasanya digunakan
sebagai disinfektan atau untuk mengawetkan spesimen biologis. Jadi, itu bukan untuk pengawet
makanan. Tentu saja jika digunakan untuk pengawet makanan, itu akan sangat berbahaya bagi tubuh
manusia.
Alasan kedua adalah tidak ada kontrol ketat dari pemerintah. Kondisi ini membuat kesehatan
masyarakat benar-benar dalam ancaman. Ketika kontrol lemah dan penggunaan formalin tersebar
luas di seluruh wilayah Indonesia, dan hari-hari ini benar-benar terjadi, tubuh warga akan sangat
terkontaminasi dengan racun. Ikan atau pedagang makanan masih menjual produk mereka yang
mengandung pengawet formalin dan berbahaya. Dapatkah Anda membayangkan bahwa sistem
pencernaan kita menyerap zat yang seharusnya untuk tubuh manusia dan hewan?
Mempertimbangkan alasannya, kita dapat membuat kesimpulan bahwa penggunaan formalin dan
bahan pengawet lainnya benar-benar masalah serius jika tidak segera diselesaikan.

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.

Arti
Belajar bahasa Inggris melalui musik dan lagu bisa sangat menyenangkan. Anda dapat mencampur
kesenangan dengan belajar ketika Anda mendengarkan lagu dan memanfaatkan lagu sebagai sarana
untuk kemajuan bahasa Inggris Anda. Beberapa alasan yang mendasari dapat ditarik untuk
mendukung gagasan mengapa kami menggunakan lagu dalam pembelajaran bahasa.
Pertama, “lagu itu tertancap di kepalaku” Fenomena (suara yang menggema di benak kami dari lagu
terakhir yang kami dengar setelah meninggalkan restoran, pusat perbelanjaan, dll) bisa
menyenangkan dan terkadang mengerikan. Fenomena ini juga tampaknya memperkuat gagasan
bahwa lagu bekerja pada ingatan jangka pendek dan panjang.
Kedua, lagu-lagu pada umumnya juga menggunakan bahasa percakapan sederhana, dengan banyak
pengulangan, yang hanya apa yang banyak siswa cari teks sampel. Fakta bahwa mereka efektif
membuat mereka berkali-kali lebih memotivasi daripada teks lainnya. Meskipun biasanya sederhana,
beberapa lagu dapat sangat kompleks secara sintaksis, leksikal dan puitis, dan dapat dianalisis
dengan cara yang sama seperti samplE sastra lainnya.
Selanjutnya, lagu dapat disesuaikan oleh pendengar untuk tujuan mereka sendiri. Sebagian besar
lagu pop dan mungkin banyak jenis lainnya tidak memiliki orang, tempat atau waktu referensi yang
tepat.
Selain itu, lagu-lagu santai. Mereka memberikan variasi dan kesenangan, dan mendorong harmoni
dalam diri sendiri dan dalam satu grup. Tidak heran mereka adalah alat penting dalam
mempertahankan budaya, agama, patriotisme dan yeas, bahkan revolusi.
Last but not least, ada banyak kegiatan pembelajaran yang dapat kita lakukan dengan lagu-lagu
seperti mempelajari tata bahasa, melatih pemahaman mendengarkan yang selektif, menerjemahkan
lagu, belajar kosa kata, ejaan dan kultur.
Dari uraian di atas, dapat disimpulkan bahwa belajar melalui musik dan lagu, belajar bahasa Inggris
dapat menyenangkan dan menyenangkan.
