Ada Apa Dengan Cinta The Story of Love and Cinta

Andy Williams said,” Love is a many splendored thing.” But according to Nazareth,” Love hurts!” So, what is love, actually? Many teenagers have tried in vein to find the answer to that question. It might be what inspired Mira Lesmana and Riri Riza to produce the movie Ada Apa Dengan Cinta?, a movie about love and people who are in love.

The Lovely CintaCinta (Dian Sastrowardoyo) is a beautiful, smart, and confident seventeen-year-old girl. Born in a loving

family, surrounded by understanding and supporting friends, Cinta seem to have everything in the world. She has four best friend: Milly (Sissy Priscilia), Karmen (Adinia Wirastuti), Alya (Ladya Heryl) and Maura (Titi Kamal) who always protect her and are there for her. She’s also the object of Bone’s affection, but most eligible boyfriend at school.

But things are starting to change when Cinta meets Rangga (Nicholas Saputra), a cold and arrogant boy whose presence is never taken into account at school. The Unpredictable character of Rangga disturbed Cinta. It creates a new and unfamiliar sensation which leads Cinta into a new and strange world. The next thing she knows, she has fallen in love with someone who has very different character and comes from a very different world.

Bit by bit, Cinta starts to change. She becomes a new person, a stranger to her friends and even for herself. She doesn’t understand what was happened, let alone her friends.What’s wrong with Cinta? She start to see things and act differently. Should someone go through changes in seeing and appraising her world? But is she the one who changes, or is it the people around her?

The Loving CrewThis movie is directed by Rudi Soedjarwo ( the director of Bintang Jatuh and Tragedy). The script is written

by Jujur Pranoto, the script writer of Petualangn Sherina, although the idea of the story comes from Mira Lesmana, Prima Rusdi and Riri Reza.Most of the people involved in this movie, such as Rudi Sujarwo, the Art Director Adrianto Sinaga, the Editor Dewi ST. Alibasah, the Director of Photography Roy Lolang, and the Stars are new comers to the 35mm-celluloid-film world, except for Dian Sastrowardoyo. The songs and music are composed by Melly Goeslaw and Anto Hoed, also new faces in the movie world. One thing that all of them have in common: they are very excited and thrilled to take part in this awesome flick.

The Lovable StoryListen to what Riri Rizal says about this movie, “The ending is wonderful. I’ve seen it several times, but it can

still move and touch me and make me laugh.” Rudi Sujarwo is also confident that the movie will be well-accepted by movie goers :“the movie is very complete. It has a love story, comedy, and action. Above all, the ending is really surprising. “this movie is about falling in love for the first time, something that most of us have experienced. Through this movie, we can recall that experience and also, hopefully, viewers will fall love with Indonesian movies, ”says Mira Lesmana. Well, that’s what we also expect, right? So make sure you watch this flick and capture the moment.

Activity 5Read the following review and study the schematic structure of the text.

Orientation Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, Bernard Hill, Jonathan Hyde, Danny Nucci, Gloria Stewart, David Warner, Victor Garber, Bill PaxtonDirector: James CameronRunning Time: 189 minutesKinds : Action, Drama, Romance •I absolutely love ‘Titanic’, and all of the movies will always hold a special place in my heart. Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton) is a somewhat ruthless treasure hunter searching for profit under the sea in the debris of the wrecked liner Titanic. In particular, he is searching for a necklace featuring an historic blue diamond that is rumored to have sunk with the ship. He believes he is on the right track when his crew retrieves a safe in which he finds a sketch of a beautiful woman wearing the diamond. The drawing is shown on a TV news program, and an old lady called Rose Dawson Calvert (Gloria Stewart) comes forward claiming that she is the woman in the drawing. When questioned by the treasure hunters, she tells them her story.

Interpretative recount 1 When she joined the Titanic for her maiden voyage Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet), as she was known then, was 17 years old. Her mother (Frances Fisher) had good breeding but little money, so she was taking Rose to America to marry rich Cal Hockley (Billy Zane) - a match that Rose would rather have avoided.

Interpretative recount 1 • Attempting to commit suicide, she was saved by Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio), a raffish and charming third-class passenger. Jack and Rose started to spend time together, ultimately falling in love, in spite of the disapproval of both her mother and Hockley. Hockley would have done anything to prevent Jack seeing Rose, and falsely accused him of theft. However, the historic events that followed were to change everything.

Evaluation 1 Cameron's "Titanic" is justly recognized as something of a masterpiece. The film cost a phenomenal amount to make, and most of that spending is visible on screen. Everything about it looks sumptuous, and the effects that go into the sinking of the ship are grippingly realistic.

Evaluation 2 The romantic thread is appealing enough, but its greater purpose is to make the effect of the tragedy more personal. Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio make a fine job of playing the young couple, although the romance is occasionally rather overdone and DiCaprio does struggle at times to give his character as written any real depth

Evaluation 3 Although the film is a personal romance set amidst a greater disaster story, it is also the story of Rose's life and the effect her experiences have had on her - and it largely succeeds on all counts.

Evaluative summation Sometimes love must triumph over disaster.

Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix

I absolutely love the Harry Potter series, and all of the books will always hold a special place in my heart.

I have to stay that of all the books, however, this was not my favourite.

When the series began it was as much of a “feel good” experience as a huge mug of hot cocoa. The stories were bright, fast-paced, intriguing, and ultimately satisfying.

Order of the Phoenix is a different kind of book. In some instances this works . . . you feel a whole new level of intensity and excitement by the time you get to the end. I was truly moved by the last page. Other times the book just has a slightly dreary, depressing feel. The galloping face of the other books has slowed to a trot

_____________

_____________

here, and parts of it do seem long, as if we were reading all about Harry “just hanging out” instead of having his usual adventures. Reading in detail about Harry cleaning up an old house, for example – housekeeping is still housekeeping, magical or no, and I’m not very interested in doing it or reading about other people doing it.

A few other changes in this book – the “real” world comes much more into play rather than the fantasy universe of the previous books, and Harry has apparently been taken off his meds. I know that he had a lot to be grumpy in this book, especially with being a teenager and tall, but the sudden change in his character seemed too drastic. He goes from being warm-hearted, considerate person to someone who will bite his best friend’s heads off over nothing. It just seemed like it didn’t fit with his character, like he turned into a walking cliché of the “angry teen” overnight.

The real story seemed to happen in the last 1/3 of the book and this part I loved. I actually liked the ending ( andyes, I cried!0 as sad as it was. It packed a punch and it made me care about the story even more. Still a really good book, with some editing it would have been great.

Activity 8.Read the following review then rearrange the paragraph to make a good text of review.

Basara Vol. 5by Sheena McNeil

(1)Yumi Tamura has included a very short and very cute extra story at the end. There is a little bird that follows Sarasa around (providing a bit of comic relief) named Shinbashi. In this extra, Shinbashi goes home only to be babied. It remains a secret that he has grown up and has faced dangers with Sarasa that his siblings can't even imagine. The reunion is short-lived as Shinbashi rushes back to nap with Sarasa. This light story is a great way to conclude this volume, and it is only a couple of pages so it doesn't detract from the main story. I highly recommend Basara to anyone looking for an excellent shojo read.

(3)While the style used to draw the eyes is not my favorite by any means, it does fit with the overall art style which is both wispy and detailed. The characters are extremely well developed, and even minor characters are distinct — without overpowering the main characters. This volume is action-packed with some very tense scenes. Shuri gets to be heroic in the beginning (though he is acting selfishly for himself and Sarasa alone). Sarasa really gets to shine in this volume. Her feminine side gets to come out when she needs help from Shuri, but she holds her own several times against the Blue King, and ultimately helps to end his reign. Thus, Basara is maturing into the perfect shojo manga.

(4)On the one hand I feel a bit out of the loop jumping from volume one to volume five, but on the other hand I found it easy to pick up here, and I actually enjoyed this volume much more than volume one. Sarasa and Shuri (disguised as a monk) are participants in a race for their lives for the Blue King's amusement. Despite mouthing off to the Blue King, Sarasa is spared ... but only long enough to be made a sacrifice to the dragon god. She finds some unexpected allies and disillusions the people to what their king and their god really are. She and Shuri are briefly reunited, only to be torn apart when the city succumbs to the water from the broken dam, and Shuri is confronted with a new visage of the Blue King...

(5)Even though I skipped three volumes, it is still evident that Sarasa's secret (taking over her dead brother's identity as the "Child of Destiny" to free her people) is still safe. Her realtionship with Shuri is growing (and his secret of being the Red King is still safe as well). A nice romance is blossoming, but is still tense ... especially with the reader knowing that Sarasa and Shuri are mortal enemies (though they don't know it because they keep their secret identities from each other).

Twister tells the story of tornado chasers trying to test new equipment that will help save lives. The story of Twister is about Jo Harding (played by Helen Hunt) and her soon-to-ex-husband Bill (played by Bill Paxton) who goes hunting tornadoes in a race against other twister chasers. Bill has invented a machine that might help predict tornadoes but he needs to test it. Along the way there is drama between Jo, Bill and Bill’s new girlfriend and some humorous moments involving the twister-chasing team. I found the special effect used in the movie to be excellent and the story easy to follow. This is a movie suitable for the whole family and sure to blow them away

Text 2The Last Samurai

Set in 19th century Japan, The Last Samurai focuses on an embittered U.S. Civil War veteran, Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise), who has dragged his world-weary, alcoholic body across the Pacific to help train the Japanese Army to overcome rebellious samurai warriors, who are fighting against the introduction of Western ways that are sweeping aside Japanese tradition. Algren has no commitment to the cause; he’s there purely for the money, and because he has nothing else to do other than drink to obscure terrible flashbacks to wartime atrocities, memories of post-Civil War battles against American Indians. The Last Samurai is a war movie, no doubt about it. There are several large battle scenes that are stirring and brutal. Yet the heart of the film is less about war than it is about recovering from the damage of war, as Algren – without even knowing he’s doing it – seeks redemption and a return to honour in his own life. The film parallels the fate of the samurai to that of American Indians, taking a slightly subversive slap at American capitalist imperialism (which remains that nation’s primary motivation in dealing with the rest of the world). Visually attractive, this film is a huge success because its midsection – set in the samurai village – is intelligent, gentle and patiently treated. Algren cleans up his act and learns the way of the samurai gradually, there’s no magical transformation here, so it’s utterly believable that a burnt-out American drunk could be transformed into an honourable samurai warrior. Great to look at and respectful of its subject matter, The Last Samurai is an epic with excitement, brains and heart.

TEXT 8. This text is for questions 40-42.

I absolutely love Titanic, and all of the movie will always hold a special place in my heart. Brock Lovett ( Bill Paxton ) is a somewhat ruthless treasure hunter searching for profit under the sea in the debris of the wrecked liner Titanic. In particular, he is searching for a necklace featuring an historic blue diamond and that is rumored to have sunk with the ship. He believes he is on the right track when his crew retrieves a safe in which he

finds a sketch of a beautiful woman wearing the diamond. The drawing is shown on a TV news program, and an old lady called Rose Dawson Calvert ( Gloria Stewart ) comes forward claiming that she is the woman in the drawing. When questioned by the treasure hunters, she tells them her story.

When she joined the Titanic for her maiden voyage Rose DeWitt Bukater ( Kate Winslet ), as she was known then, was 17 years old. Her mother ( Frances Fisher ) had a good breeding but little money, so she was taking Rose to America to marry rich Cal Hockley ( Billy Zane ) – a match that Rose would rather have avoided.

Attempting to commit suicide, she was saved by Jack Dawson ( Leonardo DiCaprio), a raffish and charming third-class passenger. Jack and Rose started to spend time together, ultimately falling love, in spite of the disapproval of both her mother and Hockley. Hockley would have done anything to prevent Jack seeing Rose, and falsely accused him of theft. However, the historic events that followed were to change everything.

Cameron’s “ Titanic” is justly recognized as something of a masterpiece. The film cost a phenomenal amount to make, and most of that

spending is visible on screen. Everything about it looks sumptuous and the effects that go into the sinking of the ship are grippingly realistic.

The romantic thread is appealing enough, but its greater purpose is to make the effect of the tragedy more personal. Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio make a fine job of playing the young couple, although the romance is occasionally rather overdone and DiCaprio does struggle at times to give his character as written any real depth.

Although the film is a personal romance set amidst a greater disaster story, it is also the story of Rose’s life and the effect her experiences have had on her and it largely succeeds on all counts.

40. The purpose of the text is ... .a. to describe something that happensb. to persuade readers that something is in the casec. to critique an art work or event for a public

audienced. to evaluate the necessity of cars in the citye. to introduce readers that here are many problems.

41. Why was Rose’s mother take Rose to America ? a. to get a job b. to looked a new place to live in c. to divorce with her husband Cal Hockley d. to marry a rich man Cal Hockley e. to become a famous artist

42. What does the reviewer opinion about Titanic.a. It is the best film romanceb. It is the worse film romancec. It deserves the highest praised. she really loves Titanice. It deserves the best praise

Many people imagine the sea-horse to be a real horse in the sea. This is not true at all. The sea-horse is so called because it is a tiny creature with a horse-like head which lives in the sea.

Sea-horse are found mostly in warm seas. They have a long. Flexible tail which is used for wrapping around weeds for support. They swim in an upright position, their movements being helped by a rapidly oscillating fin on their back. The male sea-horse has a pouch in its abdomen. The female sea-horse lays her eggs in this pouch.

The most remarkable thing about the sea-horse is that part of the process of reproduction is taken over by the male creature. Once the female sea-horse has laid her eggs in the male creature’s pouch, she leaves. The hatching of the eggs is done by the male fish.

Mating begins with the male and the female sea-horses doing a courtship dance. The male and the female creatures swim around each other in the circles. At the end of the dance, the male appears to bow to its partner; but in actually, the male is bending to pump water from his pouch. Next, the female fish lay eggs into the male’s pouch. About two hundred eggs are laid. The pouch then closes up. The female sea-horse now swim away, leaving the male sea-horse to do hatching.

The eggs are hatched about a month later. The young sea-horses are ejected from the male creature’s pouch by means of muscular contractions.

Rain is advantageous because it brings water for all living things. But rain can be disastrous, too, because too much rain will cause floods which can wash away people, houses and other valuable properties.

The following is how the rain is formed.The air is filled with tiny particles known as

‘vapour’. Vapour is actually the gaseous form of water. Vapour is a part of air. The air around us is constantly moving because the air near the surface of the earth is hotter and lighter. This is why this air rises. The air higher up in the sky is cold and heavy, so it sinks. The rising of hot air and the sinking of cold water cause the air to move. When the hot air rises to acertain level, the vapour presents in it, cools and changes to water. This is known as ‘condensation’. When the water are too heavy for the air to carry, the air is said to be ‘oversaturated’. The water particles then falls as rain.

My mother is a fifty-year-old widow. She and my father were very happy together and I know she has been very lonely since he died.

I am very fond of her but sometimes her behaviour is unreasonable. She is still quite attractive, even to men who are much younger than she is. Recently she has been seeing with a thirty – six – year- old man whose wife died a few years ago in a car crash. I was very worried about this,

but she said nothing about it until yesterday. That was when she told me she intended to get married again. Can you guess who the ‘lucky man is ?”

Naturally, I told her I would refuse to come to the wedding or have anything more to do with her if she went ahead with this crazy idea. But she refused to listen the reason.

She doesn’t seem to understand I am only trying to protect her from all the problems and unhappiness she will have. Obviously, I can’t forbid her to get married. But there must be something I can do to stop her. Don’t you agree that it is likely the man is interested only in her money ?

Next to this room, there’s the dining room which has French windows leading onto a small patio

Also on the ground floor there is a study, kitchen and utility room. A wide staircase takes you to the first floor, where there are five bedrooms. The largest is about 25’ x 20’, a really vast room which looks out onto the garden.

The house is in 2.5 acres of land, and there is a green house, a shed, a swimming pool and a tennis court. It’s beautiful place to be at any time of the year. In winter it’s warm and cozy and in summer there’s so much to do outside.

Frogs are delightful creatures. Our country is home to more than 220 named species, and they can be found in almost any Australian landscape.

Most frogs lay eggs on land or in water. Then, after the eggs hatch, tadpoles enter the water for two weeks to six months, depending on the temperature, before emerging as froglets ( baby frogs). Not all frogs do this. The hip-pocket frog is very interesting example of parenthal care. After the female hip-pocket frog has spawned, the male will lie on her eggs and about eight tadpoles wriggle up into each pocket where they grow into a babies frogs.

Harry Potter, the Prisoner of the Azkaban

For most children, summer vacation is something to look forward to. But not for the 13 years old boy, Harry Potter. He was forced to spend his summers with his Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and Dudley Dursley who detested him. The Ill treatment and the unpleasant insulting words forced Harry “accidentally” to cast spells in the non-magic world. It caused Aunt Marge ( sister of Aunt Petunia) to inflate

like a monstrous balloon. This actually violated

against the rules of wizards which strictly forbade students to cast spells in the world of“Muggles” (non-magic-world). Realizing for what he had done, Harry ran away from Dursley’s home into the darkness of the night with his heavy trunk and his owl Hedwig.

Suddenly Harry was picked up by a triple-decker, violently purple-bus to spend the rest weeks of his summer in a friendly inn called the Leaky Cauldron. In the Leaky Cauldron, Harry read a poster announcing that Sirius Black –an enigmatic convict from the witch-craft and wizardly prison of Azkaban was on the loose.

Sirius Black had escaped from Azkaban prison and was searching for Harry. Black was believed to be responsible for leading lord Voldermort to Harry’s parents and ultimately to their murder.

Harry Potter felt that his life was in danger. He returned to Hogwart and the three pals were back for the third term at Hogwadt. The school was buzzing with the news of the escaping prisoner of Azkaban. The ominous Azkaban guards-the Dementors- were posted at the school to protect the students from Black, but they seemed more interested in probing Harry’s mind than searching for the prisoner.

A confrontation between Harry and Black was inevitably, but when they finally did, the young wizard was shocked by the revelations about his parents that caused him to question exactly who his friends really were. He never realized that Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban to protect him from Lord Voldermort’s evil plan and that Ron, one of his best friend betrayed him. He was actually a servant of Lord Valdermort. Unfortunately, he ran away after hid secret was revealed.

Malaria is an infectious disease by a one-celled parasite known as Plasmodium. The parasite is transmitted to human by the bite of female Anopheles mosquitoes. The plasmodium parasite spends its life cycle partly in human and partly in mosquitoes.

Mosquito infected with the malaria parasite bites human, passing cells called sporozoits into the human’s bloodstream. Sporozoites travel to the liver. Each sporozoit undergoes a sexual reproduction, in which its nucleus splits to form two new cells, called morozoites. Merozoits enter the bloodstream and infect red blood cells. In red blood cells merozoites grow and device to produce more morozoits, eventually causing the red blood cells to rupture. Some of the newly released cells. Some merozoites develop into sex cells known as female and male gametocytes. Another mosquito bites the infected human, ingesting the gametocytes. In the mosquitoes’s stomach, the gametocytes mature. Male and female gametocytes undergo sexual reproduction, uniting to form a zygote. The zygote multiplies to form sporozoites, which travel to the mosquito’s salivary glands.

Text 4.This text is questions 26 – 28.

We often hear about the solar car, solar heating or solar batteries. But will solar energy ever be a major source of energy for industrial societies ? The solar energy is cheaper that any other fossil fuel because we can get the abundant source from the sun.

In sunny desert areas, 50% of the sun’s radiation that reaches the ground could be used to produce electricity for business and industry, to provide heat, light and hot water for homes. Experimental solar ponds can produce hot mater to drive generators.

Unfortunately, we can’t yet power our homes entirely on sunlight. Solar energy can only be exploited in bright light. Its greatest potential, therefore is in hot countries that have clear skies for most of the world. In addition, to harness the solar power, solar cells are needed to convert the sunlight directly into electricity. Solar cells are very cheap to run, but relatively expensive to buy and many people can’t afford it.

Needless to say that solar energy is a useful and non -polluted source of energy. Nevertheless, solar cells,

the main important device to harness the sun’s energy are still very expensive.

26. What is the goal of the text above ? a. to tell readers that we can get abandon

energy from the sun.b. to explain how to collect the sunlight and

convert it into energy.c. To explain that solar energy has many

advantagesd. To present the controversy of using solar

energy for industry.e. To present the controversy of harnessing

solar energy.

27. What is the problem in making use of solar energy ? a. The solar energy is cheaper that fossil fuel. b. The solar energy cannot be used for industrial

societies. c. The device to harness the sun’s energy is very

expensive. d. The solar energy can only be exploited in the

bright light e. The solar energy can be taken any time and

any place. 28. People obtaining the most beneficial from the sun

are those who …a. live in desert area.b. have solar cellsc. live in tropical countries.d. Produce electricity for businesse. Live in countries that have clear sky

Elephants are great mammals. They are distinguished from their African counterparts by their smaller size, smaller ears, more rounded back, and fourth menial on each of their hind feet. They can exceed 5000 kg weight. They have thick, dry skin with a small amount of stiff hair and are grey to brown in colour. Female Asian elephants have rudimentary tusks.

They have an sensitive range across India and Sri Lanka and also occur further south and east as far as Sumatra. Theses three areas appear to countain subspecies all with slightly different characteristics. They are spread over areas where rainfall levels vary considerably. They can survive in dry places where less than 40 cm of rain falls per year and in wet areas where over 8 meter of rain can fall in a year.

Elephants have a diverse vegetarian diet, including grasses, bamboo, legumes, bark, succulent climbers, creepers and palms. They have seasonal favourites such fig leaves and fruits, tamarind, wood apple and mango.

Two years passed and Sidapaksa returned from his journey. He succeeded in doing his duty. Just as he was about to enter his house, her mother told him that his wife had thrown their baby into the river.

“ Ach, wicked woman. Tell me why you threw our new-born child into the river. Tell me !” he said in a rough and angry voice.

“ Oh, my dearest husband, I am innocent. I love you and our new baby. I didn’t kill our child. If you don’t believe me, carry me to the river. I will prove you that I didn’t do it.”

Sidapaksa took her wife to the edge of the river. Suddently, his wife leaped up and threw herself into the river.

“Ohh my God ! How will I know who killed my child ?” moaned Sidapaksa.

Then he looked down at the water. Suddenly, two pure while flower-buds appeared, one large and the other was taller. A sweet fragrance came from them.

“ Sidapaksa, look here ! Beside me is our child. He himself will tell you who drowned him.” The taller one spoke.

“ Father, my mother is innocent. Grandmother threw me into the river. Now I’m happy because my beloved mother has come with me,” the smaller one spoke. Then, the two flowers vanished into the river. They left their fragrance behind.

OPEN LETTER TO THE PRIME MINISTER.

The Hon RJ Hawke, MPPrime MinisterParliament HouseCANBERRA ACT 2600

Into the Mouth of Babes.

We are writing to you (because) we are concerned about the way food is being advertised to children.

What we eat now effects our health in years to come. Bad dietary habits start while we are very young. For this reason, your government supports health education that encourages a balanced healthy diet. Australians are encouraged to get the bulk of their nutrients from fresh fruits, vegetables, and wholegrain cereals, a lesser amount of foods high in fat, salt and sugar.

TV advertising to children presents a completely different message. Nearly 80% of food advertising pushes fatty snacks or sweets – the very foods that should be eaten least. To make matter worse, these ads take up much of the advertising time. This must be stopped.

TV advertising is powerful and influential. Parents, however strong-willed, find it hard to resist pressures created by this advertising. Children are least able to understand the tricks of the advertising industry.

For the hours when children are the main audience, TV advertising of food must be made to reinforce, not undermine, the message about a balanced diet. We appeal to you, as Prime Minister, to take the lead in calling together the advertiser, TV networks, consumers and public health bodies to decide how this is to be done.

Yours sincerely

Signed by Barbara Biggins and other prominent signatories.

As Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts for his third year, Sirius Black – who has killed twelve muggles and one wizard – escapes from the Azkaban Fotrress and it looks like Harry may be his next victim. The Dementors, the guards of Azkaban, are sent to protect Hogwarts but have a strange effect on Harry. Could Sirius Black have anything to do with the death of Harry’s parents ? And what has come over Hermione’s cat Crookshanks ?

Love the new edition. They stylefits movie perfectly the kids acted much better in this one. The biggest problem that I had was that there were a lot of things the movie didn’t explain, such as “ Monny, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs.” I think that it may have been hard for those who hadn’t read the book to understand. Harry’s eyes aren’t green ( which is mentioned at least once in each book) but that’s a minor think. All in all, I loved the new direction and the movie itself. I can’t wait until the next one comes out.

A bit disappointment when I first read the book the entire book seem more like fan fiction than the real thing the whole way through. The plot wasn’t quite as exciting as

it could have been ,either. But after seeing the film, change my mind. The plot runs smooth and the actors play excellently, especially Ron. He can play in such a role that we almost deceived by his innocent appearance.

If you are in the target three-to-nine year- old age group and a fan of the Sponge Bob Square Pants television series, you’ll probably like THE SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS MOVIE, essentially an extended version of the cartoon series. Colourful and silly, the movie looks and sounds just like every other movie from Nickeledeon. Only the sassy Rugrats, with their sharply written dialog, manage to stand out among the Nickelodeon offerings. But, if your kids love Spongebob Square Pants and a weekly dose isn’t enough for them, they’ll probably be beginning you to take them to the movie version.

The plot starts with Spongebob Square Pants (voiced by Tom Kenny) lamenting that he wasn’t chosen to be the manager of the Krusty Krab 2 restaurant, since his wall is filled with “ Employee of Month” awards from original Krusty Krab. Other plot points include the stealing of the crown King Neptune ( voice by Jeffrey Tambor) and the enslavement of the restaurant patrons by mind control helmet designed by Plankton (voiced by Mr. Lawrence), the owner of a rival establishment of the Krusty Krab.

About as funny as the story ever gets is when someone asks Spongbob Square Pants if he has a license to drive his humberger car. “ You don’t need a license to drive a sandwich.” He explains. THE SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS MOVIE is for fans only.

THE SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS MOVIE runs 1.30. It is rated PG for some mild crude humor and would be acceptable for all age.

Text 8.This text is for questions 36 to 39

Rain always comes from clouds. But where do clouds come from ? How does all the water get into the sky ?

Think about your bathroom. There is hot water in your bath. Steam goes up from the hot water. The steam makes small clouds in the bathroom. These warm clouds meet the cold walls and windows, and then we see small drops of water on the walls and windows.

The world is like your bathroom. The water in the ocean is warm when the sun shines on it. Some of this water goes up into the sky and makes clouds. The wind carries the clouds for hundreds of kilometers. The clouds meet the cold air in the sky, then we’ll see drops of water

after the condensation of clouds to water. The drops of water are rain.

Text 1

After rising steadily for almost a century, standards of education in the public schools of Europe and North America have leveled off and, in the opinion of many parents and employers, are actually falling. More and more children are leaving school with little more than a basic knowledge of reading, writing, and arithmetic, and illiteracy is becoming a social problem once again. With dropout rates of twenty-seven per cent in high schools and fifty per cent in colleges, the American education system is clearly in trouble; European dropout rates, though lower than those of the U.S., are rising too.

Various factors have been blamed for the apparent decline in educational standards. Some people say that overcrowding and lack of discipline are major factors. Others maintain that subjects like art and drama have been overemphasized at the expense of more practical subjects. The negative influence of television is frequently mentioned as a reason of growing illiteracy. Many teachers and principals, however, insist that the problem is not of falling standards but of rising expectations on the part of parents and employers.

Whether or not standards in public schools are actually falling, many parents feel that the only way to secure a good education for their children is to send them to private schools, which generally have smaller classes and stricter discipline. The popularity of such schools is growing steadily, despite the high tutition fees. In the United States, for example, eleven per cent of all school children attend private schools; in France, over sixteen per cent do so.

PELATIHAN 10SOAL UJIAN MASUK UGM 2007

Text 1 According to the controversial sunspot theory, great storms on the surface of the sun hurl streams of solar particles into the atmosphere, causing a shift in the weather on earth. A typical sunspot consists of a dark central umbra surrounded by a lighter penumbra of light and dark threads extending out from the center like the spokes of a wheel. Actually the sunspots are cooler than the rest of the photosphere, which may account for their color. Typically, the temperature in a sunspot umbra is about 4000 K, whereas the temperature in a penumbra registers 5500 K, and the granules outside the spot are 6000 K. Sunspots range in size from tiny granules to complex structures with areas stretching for billions of square miles. About 5 percent of the spots are large enough so that they can be seen without instruments; consequently, observations of sunspots have been recorded for several thousand years. Sunspots have been observed in arrangements of one to more than one hundred spots, butthey tend to occur in pairs. There is also a marked tendency for the two spots of a pair to have opposite magnetic polarities. Furthermore, the strength of the magnetic field associated with any given sunspot is closely related to the spot's size. Although there is no theory that completely explains the nature and function of sunspots, several models attempt to relate the phenomenon to magnetic fields along the lines of longitude from the north and south poles of the sun.

41. What is the author's main purpose in the passage?

(A) To propose a theory to explain sunspots (B) To describe the nature of sunspots (C) To compare the umbra and the penumbra in

sunspots (D) To argue for the existence of magnetic fields

in sunspots(E) To show the difference between umbra and

penumbra42. Solar particles are hurled into space by______. (A) undetermined causes (B) disturbances of wind (C) small rivers on the surface of the sun

(D) the climate on the earth (E) changes in the earth's atmosphere43. The word "particles" in line 2 refers to (A) gas explosions in the atmosphere

(B) light rays from the sun(C) the layers of the atmosphere

(D) liquid streams on the sun (E) small pieces of matter from the sun44. The sunspot theory is _____. (A) not considered very important (B) widely accepted (C) subject to disagreement (D) relatively new

(E) unbelievable45. In which configuration do sunspots usually

occur? (A) In one spot of varying size (B) In a configuration of two spots (C) In arrangements of one hundred or more

Text 2Pesticides are routinely used in agriculture to destroy organisms that affect crops and animal food.

Some of these pesticides are dangerous to bird and animal life. Others have long lives in the soil.

Text 3In an attempt to appeal to both the fundamental and personal needs of workers, innovative

management approaches, such as job enrichment and job enlargement, have been adopted in many organizations. Job enrichment gives workers more authority in making decisions related to planning and doing their work. A worker might assume responsibility for scheduling work-flow, checking quality of work produced, or making sure deadlines are met. Job enlargement increases the number of tasks workers perform by allowing them to rotate positions or by giving them responsibility for doing several jobs. Rather than assembling just one component of automobile, factory workers might be grouped together and given responsibility for assembling the entire fuel system.

48. What is the text about?(A) The fundamental and personal need of

workers.(B) The importance of job enrichment and

job enlargement.(C) The adoption of job enrichment and job

enlargement as management approaches.
