dengan keluarga, sahabat ataupun teman sebaya. surat tidak resmi tidak memiliki aturan
struktur tertentu seperti surat resmi, bahasa yang di gunakan dalam surat tidak resmi pun
juga lebih santai.

Example:
Gold has become a precious metal to mankind since it was the dawn of civilization.
The nature of gold is soft and malleable which people can make and easily change to
any forms, even it is done just by a simple technology. The beautiful golden and shiny
color does not easily fade out. The form of gold can be as jewelry, bar, or coin. Now
days gold coin, such as gold IRA, becomes an advantageous investment.
Gold is safe and profitable for investment. In uncertain situations, many people are
turning to gold because gold has a more stable value and regarded as currency without
limitation assets. It is secure and can be cashed out at any time we need. The Gold
values tend to be stable; take a look an IRA gold discussion. It is zero inflation effect.
It is very rare that the gold prices fell. Even every year, the gold price tends to increase.
Moreover, some people do not just think gold as an investment, but also as
collections. Because the character is a collection so the uniqueness and rareness are
the point. There might be coins that cost up to more than a million because of the
history variables, ownership, and perhaps an important event when the coin is
launched.

The government should Provide rehabilitation Program for Drug Users
Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the main things
they should get. Instead of punishing drug users in prisons, the government should provide
rehabilitation for them.
Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the
drugs. Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out from traps, which
they might accidentally step on.
If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the problem as drug users
will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed to them. Providing rehabilitation
programs for drug users and forcing them to participate in the programs is better than only
arresting them and doing nothing to their illness. Only drug dealers, traffickers, and
wholesalers should be imprisoned.
1. Most drug users get drugs from ....
a. Jails
b. Peddlers
c. Traffickers
d. Wholesalers
e. Rehabilition center
2. Sending the drug users to prison is not a good solution because ....
a. They can't consume harmful drugs
b. They are treated normally
c. They may still be infected with harmful drugs
d. They can be freed as soon as possible
e. They are given the whole recovery program
3. "...drug users will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed to them."
(Paragraph 3). The underlined word is closest in meaning to ....
a. Influenced
b. Treated
c. Forced
d. Burdened
e. Implemented

Example:
THESIS : A lot of people, especially young people, go through the day without
having breakfast. Many people believe that it is not necessary, or they say that they
don’t have time for that, and begin their day with no meal.
I believe that everyone should eat breakfast before going to their activities. The
purpose of this paper is to show the importance of breakfast, especially for students.
ARGUMENT 1 :The first reason why you should eat breakfast before going to
school is for your health. When you skip breakfast and go to school, you are looking
for a disease because it’s not healthy to have an empty stomach all day long. It’s
very important to have a meal and not let your stomach work empty. All you are
going to get is gastritis and a lot of problems with your health if you don’t eat
breakfast.
ARGUMENT 2 :Another reason for eating breakfast is because you need food for
to do well in your classes. You body and your brain are not going to function as
good as they could because you have no energy and no strength. When you try to
learn something and have
nothing in your stomach, you are going to have a lot of trouble succeedin
g. A lot of people think that they should not eat because they are going to feel
tired, but that’s not true. Breakfast is not a very big meal, and on the contrary, you’re
going to feel tired if
you don’t have breakfast because you have spent the entire previous night
without food.
ARGUMENT 3: The last reason to have breakfast every day is because you can
avoid diseases if you eat some breakfast in the morning. If you don’t eat, you are
going to get sick, and these diseases will have a stronger effect on you because
you’re going to get sick easier than people who have breakfast every day.

The following text is for questions
1 to 5.
Should Americans be forced to Public Transportation?
First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should we all
abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is it
asking if every American should do so. It is asking weather some Americans should have to
take public transit some of the time, and I would say yes.
Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York there just isn’t
room for any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow, they need more people to take
public transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One bus can safely hold 40 people so even at half
capacity that’s nearly 20 cars’ worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking
spaces that don’t need to built.
There are a lot of people that can take with transit little inconvenience but simply don’t
because they never have in the past. If residents in areas with plenty of transit had to buy
transit passes as part of their property taxes then they would have little excuse not to bus
occasionally. QA number of universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition feeds,
forcing their students to take the bus. When given the change the majority of those students
have voted to keep these programs.
A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking spaces
in exchange for a discount on their rent would also be community car to several apartment
tenants that arrange a schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive reviews.
So yes, I would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as Americans
whom are already forced to do so find that it works well for them.

Example:
Earthquake is one of the most destroying natural disasters. Unluckily it often
happens in several regions. Recently a horrible earthquake has shaken West Sumatra.
It has brought great damages. Why did it occur? Do you know how an earthquake
happens?
Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a
fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves. It make the ground
shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they
stick a little. They don’t just slide smoothly. The rocks are still pushing against each
other, but not moving. After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that’s
built up. When the rocks break, the earthquake occurs.
During the earthquake and afterward, the plates or blocks of rock start moving,
and they continue to move until they get stuck again. The spot underground where the
rock breaks is called the focus of the earthquake. The place right above the focus is
called the epicenter of the earthquake.

The following text is for questions
1 to 5.
Acid rain is rain that is highly acidic because of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other air
pollutants dissolved in it. Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of 6. Acid rain may have a
pH value as low as 2.8.
Acid rain can severely damage both plant and animal life. Certain lakes, for example, have
lost all fish and plant life because of acid rain.
Acid rain comes from sulfur in coal and oil. When they burn, they make sulfur dioxide (SO2
). Most sulfur leaves factory chimneys as the gaseous sulfur dioxide (SO2 ) and most
nitrogen are also emitted as one of the nitrogen oxides (NO or NO2 ), both of which are
gasses. The gasses may be dry deposited–absorbed directly by the land, by lakes or by the
surface vegetation. If they are in the atmosphere for anytime, the gasses will oxidize (gain an
oxygen atom) and go into solution as acids. Sulphuric acid (H2 SO4 ) and the nitrogen oxides
will become nitric acid (HNO3 ). The acids usually dissolve in cloud droplets and may travel
great distances before being precipitated as acid rain.
Catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and ammonium help promote the formation of
acids in clouds. More ammonium (NH4 ) can be formed when some of the acids are partially
neutralized by airborne ammonia (NH3 ). Acidification increases with the number of active
hydrogen (H+) ions dissolved in acid. Hydrocarbons emitted by, for example, car exhausts
will react in sunlight with nitrogen oxides to produce ozone. Although it is invaluable in the
atmosphere, low-level ozone causes respiratory problems and also hastens the formation of
acid rain. When acid rain falls on the ground it dissolves and liberates heavy metals and
aluminum (Al). When it is washed into lakes, aluminum irritates the outer surfaces of many
fish. As acid rain falls or drains into the lake the pH of the lake falls. Forests suffer the effect
of acid rain through damage to leaves, through the loss of vital nutrients, and through the
increased amounts of toxic metals liberated by acid, which damage roots and soil
microorganisms.
1. Which of the following is not true about acid rain?
a. It contains lower pH than the normal rain
b. It has higher pH than the normal rain
c. It can damage animal and plant life
d. It contains dangerous gasses
e. It endangers water life

The survey was conducted in five major cities across the country, including Surakarta in
Central Java.
Muhammad Syahril Mansyur, the Surakarta Health Agency’s respiratory illness division, said
that the finding of the survey showed an alarming growth rate of Indonesian smokers. "This
situation is a cause for concern,” he said. “It appears the country’s younger generation is
uneducated about the health risks of smoking.”

government refuses to sign the international convention on tobacco control. It said that
cigarette producers contributed to a large amount to state revenue and gave jobs to thousands
of workers.

a. It decreases the selling of cigarette
b. It cannot make people work at cigarette factory
c. There are increasing younger smokers in Indonesia
d. It cannot make the large amount of cigarettes be distributed
e. It is likely that younger generation is uneducated to the risks of smoking

SUBJUNCTIVE “WISH”
A. Pengertian.
Sebelum membicarakan rumus subjunctive wish dan yang lain, mari kita definisikan terlebih
dahulu apa itu subjunctive. Pengertian Subjunctive termudah adalah antara kenyataan atau fakta
dan harapan berlawanan atau bertolak belakang dengan harapan. Kata-kata yang bisa
mengekspresikannya adalah wish (berharap), if only (seandainya), would rather (lebih suka)
dan as if/as though (seolah-olah). Singkatnya subjunctive adalah bentuk pengandaian. Materi ini
sering kali muncul dalam berbagai bentuk test bahasa Inggris, bahkan dalam test berskala
international sekalipun seperti TOEFL dan TOIEC. Oleh karena itu pastikan kamu menguasai
betul-betul materi ini.
B. Rumus Subjunctive
Di atas sudah dijelaskan bahwa kalimat subjunctive selalu bertolak belakang dengan kenyataan
yang terjadi. Adakalanya kenyataan itu terjadi pada masa sekarang (present), masa yang akan
datang (future) dan masa lampau (past). Oleh karena itu rumus subjunctive pun dibagi menjadi
tiga berdasar waktunya:
1. Present Tense.
Jika faktanya terjadi pada masa sekarang, maka kalimat fakta yang bisa ditarik atau
disimpulkan dari kalimat subjunctive pun harus berupa simple present tense. Adapun
rumusan subjunctive present tense adalah:
Subjunctive Verb + S + Verb-2.
Contoh:
a. Subjunctive: I wish I knew what to do.
(saya berharap saya tahu apa yang harus aku lakukan).
Faktanya: I don’t know what to do.
b. Subjunctive: If only I didn’t have homework, I can sleep.
(seandainya aku tidak punya banyak PR, aku bisa tidur).
Faktanya: I have homework.
c. Subjunctive: Stay calm and act as if there was nothing happen
(santai saja dan bertingkahlah seperti tidak terjadi apa2).
Faktanya: There is something happen.
Future Tense.
Jika kenyataannya terjadi pada masa yang akan datang, maka kalimat fakta yang bisa ditarik
atau disimpulkan dari kalimat subjunctivenya harus berupa simple future tense. Adapun
rumusannya adalah:
Subjunctive Verb + Subject + Could/Would + infintive/verb-1.
Contoh:
a. Subjunctive: I wish I could come to your party tomorrow.
(Aku berharap aku bisa datang ke pestamu besok).
Faktanya: I will not come.
b. Subjunctive: If only I could follow the tour to Bali next month.
(seandainya aku bisa ikut tour ke Bali bulan depan).
Faktanya: I will not follow.
c. Subjunctive: You bring an umbrella as if today would rain. Don’t you see sun shines
so bright?
(kamu bawa payung seperti mau hujan saja. Tidak kah kamu lihat matahari bersinar
cerah?).
Faktanya: Today will not rain.
Past Tense.
Jika faktanya terjadi pada masa lampau, maka kalimat fakta yang bisa ditarik atau
disimpulkan dari kalimat subjunctive haruslah berupa simple past tense. Adapun rumusannya
adalah:
Subjunctive Verb + Subject + had + Verb-3.
Contoh Kalimat:
a. Subjunctive: I wish I had studied harder when I was at school.
(aku berharap dulu rajin belajar pas lagi sekolah).
Faktanya: I did not study hard.
b. Subjunctive: If only I had known that Sean is your girl, I would not touch her.
(Seandainya aku tahu bahwa Sean adalah pacarmu, Aku tidak akan mendekatinya).
Faktanya: I did not know.
c. Subjunctive: She just passed in front of me as though she had never know me.
(Dia lewat di depanku seolah-olah dia tidak pernah mengenalku).
Faktanya: She knew me.
C. Pengecualian Rumus Subjunctive.
Khusus untuk subject I yang menggunakan to be, maka to be nya harus
menggunakan were. Misalnya: If only I were a Superman, dan bukan If only I was superman
(X).

LESSON
Key Points
We like listening to music in our free time. We can learn English from English songs. In this
lesson, we learn words, feelings and rhymes in songs.
Here are some points to learn:
1. Words in songs.
What does “a certain word” mean?
Songs are similar to poems. There are beautiful words in songs and poems. Some of the words
are new for us. To help us understand the songs, we need to know the meanings of the difficult
words. Looking up the dictionary will certainly help us know the meanings of the words and
enrich our vocabulary.
2. Synonyms and antonyms.
Singing and reading the lyrics of songs will help up enrich vocabulary by trying to find the
synonym and antonym of the difficult words. We have to check the words in the dictionary and
make notes.
3. Rhymes of the songs.
Learning the rhymes of the songs will help us learning how to pronounce the words.
Pronunciation is an important aspect to learn when we learn a language. If we miss pronounce
words, other will not understand what we are saying.
4. The feelings of the singer.
Songs and the lyrics show how the singers feel. Songs can suggest happiness, sadness, ignorance,
care, hopes, love, friendship, and others.
5. How to understand a complete song.
Read the lyrics of this song:
I Believe I Can Fly
I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I’m leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there’s nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me
