The following text is for questions 1 to 2.

Once upon a time, there lived a father and his sons. Their mother had passed away many years ago. The six
sons could not get along with one another. They always quarreled with each other. The father tried very hard
to unite them, but always failed.
Then, one day, he came up with an idea. He called all his six sons together and showed them a bundle of
sticks. He asked each of them to break the bundle in turn. Each of them tried with all his strength, but none
of them could even bend the bundle. Then, the father untied the bundle and separated the sticks. He gave a
stick to each of his sons. “Now try breaking it”, he said. Each of them broke his stick with ease.
The father then said,”My dear sons, if you remain united, you will be as strong as this bundle of sticks. But
if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as you have broken the sticks. Remember,
always stick together”.

My Most Unforgettable Holiday

In 2015, I went to Derawan Island with my friends and that marks my most memorable holiday
ever!
In June, our school was having summer holiday, so we thought to ourselves that it shouldn't go to
waste. We quickly browsed the internet to find a good holiday destination and after an hour of heated
debate, the four of us agreed to give Derawan Island a try. It was purely out of curiousity as none of us
had been there before.
We arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at 05.30 a.m. as the flight was at 07.00 a.m.
First, we flew to Balikpapan and waited for about an hour to continue the flight to Berau. As soon as we
touched down in Berau, my friend called the tour agent that we had contacted earlier in Jakarta. They had
got a car ready to take us to Labuan Batu. From Labuan Batu, we took a speedboat for about an hour to
Derawan Island. It was such a long trip to Derawan but it all paid off as soon as we saw how beautiful
the island was.
My friends and I were quickly ushered to our rooms in the resort. It was fantastic! The rooms
were in a cottage that was situated right above the sea. So we only had to step out the terrace to find
 ourselves out in the open sea! After unpacking our luggages and washing up, we went to the dining hall
to grab our dinner. The dinner was only simple seafood dishes. The surrounding totally enhanced the
dining experience, making the food taste much better.
The following day, we took a speedboat tour, hopping from one island to another Our first trip
stop was Kakaban Island where we hiked to reach the lake and swam among stingless jellyfish. The last
time I heard, there were only three places in the world that have stingless jellyfish; two of them in
Indonesia! Isn't that great? The next stop was the Sangalaki Island where we got to visit sea turtle
conservation and took lots of pictures with sea turtle babies. They were so cute!
Our last stop was the Maratua Island where we were able to feed fish and see a three-legged sea
turtle. The three-legged sea-turtle wasn't born that way. We were told that it was swimming in the open
sea when it was still a baby then its leg got caught in plastic trash and couldn't grow even when the sea-
turtle reached adulthood. One of the island's guards saw the sea-turtle and saved it. He also untangled the
plastic trash that bound the sea-turtle's leg but it was too late. Since then, the sea-turtle is kept in a special
space next to the resort in Maratua Island and the guards take turns feeding it to ensure its survival. This
is why we should never litter and endanger other creatures! After Maratua Island, we headed back to
Derawan Island to catch a late dinner and turned in.
The following morning, we wake up early and ate our breakfast in the dining room. Then, the
driver drove us back to the airport so we could catch a flight back to Jakarta. We arrived at Jakarta,
exhausted but terribly happy! It was the most unforgettable trip I have ever experienced so far!

Try the following tips

1. Stay out of the sun during peak hours. While these times may vary slightly
depending on the season and where you live. You should be indoors if all possible
between 10:00 and 15:00.
2. Keep covered up. Floppy hats and large umbrellas work well and so do cover-ups.
Long-sleeved cotton shirts are excellent for hiking, cycling etc; see your sports store
for special brands that allow breathing as well as cover-up.
3. Use sunscreen on any exposed areas. An SPF of 45+ is recommended for it allows
even the fairest skinned folks to stay out in the sun for a few hours before
reapplying. Try chopstick on your lips. Follow the instructions on sunscreen
carefully. Always reapply after leaving the water, as it’ll have washed off.
4. Don’t forget hard-to-reach places. Don’t forget to cover the backs of your knees,
back of your neck, elbows and back of your ears (if you have short hair). Feet should
also be included if you are wearing sandals, flip-flops or going bare-foot. Even these
places can hurt a lot with sunburn.

skin but might burn you the first few times you try it at the beginning of the season.
If you want to tan, do it gradually and sensibly, with short exposure and building up

Recycling is important in today’s world if we want to leave this planet for our future generations. It
is good for the environment, since we are making new products from the old products which are of no use
to us. There are many reasons why it’s important to recycle as much as possible.
Making new products out of recycled materials reduces the need to consume precious resources.
So recycling helps protect raw materials and protect natural habitats for the future.
Using recycling materials in the manufacturing process uses considerably less energy than that
required for producing new products from raw materials.
Recycling reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining and processing
raw materials all of which create substantial air and water pollution. As recycling saves energy, it also
reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change.
There are over 1,500 landfill sites in the UK and, in 2001, these sites produced a quarter of the
UK’s emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that is released as the biodegradable waste (such
as food and paper) decomposes. Existing landfill sites are filling up fast and there is very limited space for
new ones.
A massive reduction in the amount of waste we send to landfill is required if we are to avoid the
heavy fines and the landfill taxes that are being imposed by Central Government on councils that exceed
their landfill allowances. Increases in your Council Tax or service cuts in other areas would be the only
way of paying these penalties.
 19. What does the text highlight?
A. Reasons to recycle.
B. Conserving the energy.
C. Protecting the environment.
D. Environmental construction.
E. Saving money through recycling.

20. We know from the text that ... if we recycle.

a. landfill sites will decrease
b. climate change will continue
c. more new products will be reduced
d. natural habitats will never be affected
e. air and water pollution will be affected
21. ”Recycling reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining and processing
raw materials all of which create substantial air and water pollution.”
Based on this quote, we conclude that the writer is telling us that ….
A. recycling saves us money
B. recycling reduce landfill
C. recycling saves energy
D. recycling conserves raw materials
E. recycling helps protects the environment
22. Recycling reduces the need for extracting ... it reduces pollution.

much. She sang anytime and anywhere. When she was singing, everyone must be quite. If not, she would punish
them.
One day an old beggar asked her some money while she was singing. Princess Isabel was very angry, but
the beggar was angry too. The old beggar was actually a witch. She cursed Isabel, and from that day she could not
sing.
Fortunately, there was a fairy. She was a good one. She said, “You can sing again after you do a good thing
to someone else.”
From then on, Isabel was always good to everybody. She wanted her voice back. However, it never came
back. So, she travelled from one city to another to do good things.
