The text is for question number 1-4
What are some important considerations when you

look for a new job? According to experts, you ought to think
about these things:
First, know yourself! You should ask yourself exactly

what you want from a job. Is it money, interesting work, nice
co-workers, or something else? Different people want
different things from a job. Assess yourself. Where are you
now, and where do you want to be?
You also might want to think about your personal

relationships. Consider which relationships are going well,
which ones are not, and, most importantly, why. This will
help you understand how you relate to people you work
with.
Make changes! If you had problems in another job

(maybe you were always late, or you did not finish projects),
then you should make changes before you take a new job. It
is too late when you are already in the job.
Decide what you dont want! If you just want a nine-

to-five job, you had better not work for company that
expects you to be on call 24-7. If you have an interview,
prepare! You should find out about an employer's business
before your interview. Study the company's website. You
could also call the company.
Ask to speak with someone about the job. Of

course, many of these ideas are common sense, but a lot of
people just don't think about them. As a result, they are very
unhappy in their jobs.

The following text is for question 11 to 13
Dear team Vogue
I believe that TV is inseparable from my life because it entertains

me whenever I need it. After a full,tiring day at school and a part-time job,
I can watch interesting programmers while relaxing my mind. Compared
to the internet , I have no doubt that TV is more popular among teenagers
. I can get new information about what is going on in the world these
days.
however , I don’t let TV control my life . I will switch on the TV whenever I
have finished doing things that I have to do. I only watch programmes that I
really like.
Regards

Dear friends,
I am very sure that TV can be good or bad. I think it is just a box that cannot be
harmful for anyone. How can it be harmful? I feel it all depends on how we use it.
If it is properly used, we can get some knowledge and enjoy some entertainment,
for fun. It is useless blaming TV because we are the ones who control TV. If it is
wrongly used and excessively watched, it is obvious that it will have a bad impact
on our health and it will really waste our time. We have to realize we are the
persons who operate the remote control of TV, not the TV which controls us. I
reckon that it is better to stop blaming TV and identify what you really need from
TV, Identification is important to decide what programmes you watch. I believe
that our behaviour is the thing that makes it good or bad not the thing itself.
Regards,
Luke Pardede

The following text is for the question 17 to 20
Dear friends,
From my point of view, enough exercise and healthy food are very important to children.
Parents should be concerned about these things. If so, children will keep healthy, fit and
happy. They will not easily suffer from sicknesses. In addition, they prevent the children from
being overweight. For example, a child who spends all day playing video games and eating
snacks all the time will became too fat. When children always eat junk food and sit around
watching television, they will have little energy for doing well in school. Please share your
opinion.
With love,
Taufik Samsuddin
