1.Narrative textThe Legend of Rawa Pening
Once upon a time, there was a little poor boy came
into a little village. He was very hungry and weak. He
knocked at every door and asked for some food, but
nobody cared about him. Nobody wanted to help the little
boy.
Finally, a generous woman helped him. She gave
him shelter and a meal. When the boy wanted to leave,
this old woman gave him a lesung, a big wooden mortar
for pounding rice. She reminded him, please remember,
if there is a flood you must save yourself. Use this
lesung as a boat. The lesung was happy and thanked
the old woman.The little boy continued his journey. While
he was passing through the village, he saw many people
gathering on the field. The boy came closer and saw a
stick stuck in the ground. People challenged each other to
pull out that stick. Everybody tried, but nobody succeeded.
Can I try? asked the little boy. The crowd laughed
mockingly. The boy wanted to try his luck so he stepped
forward and pulled out the stick. He could do it very
easily. Everybody was dumbfounded.
Suddenly, from the hole left by stick, water spoutedout. It did not stop until it flooded the village. And no one
was saved from the water except the little boy and the

generous old woman who gave him shelter and meal. As
she told him, he used the lesung as a boat and picked up
the old woman. The whole village became a huge lake. It
is now known as Rawa Pening Lake in Salatiga, Central
Java, Indonesia.
2.Recount textVisiting Bali
There were so many places to see in Bali that my
friend decided to join the tours to see as much as possible.
My friend stayed in Kuta on arrival. He spent the first
three days swimming and surfing on Kuta beach. He
visited some tour agents and selected two tours. The firstone was to Singaraja, the second was to Ubud. On the day
of the tour, he was ready.
My friend and his group drove on through
mountains. Singaraja is a city of about 90 thousands
people. It is a busy but quiet town. The street are lined
with trees and there are many old Dutch houses. Then they
returned very late in the evening to Kuta.
The second tour to Ubud was a very different tour. It
was not to see the scenery but to see the art and the craft of
the island. The first stop was at Batubulan, a center of
stone sculpture. There my friend watched young boys
were carving away at big blocks of stone. The next stop
was Celuk, a cente for silversmiths and goldensmiths.

In the past, Thanksgiving was celebrated for their
rich harvest in New England. In North America, however,
it was originally held to thank God for their survival in the
new land which was not easy for them. However, in
Canada, it had been celebrated as in New England.
Thanksgiving now is celebrated in United States of
America and in Canada. Thanksgiving festivals are held
every fourth Thursday of November in the U.S and on the
second Monday of October in Canada. It is usually
celebrated in four to five days in the North America and
for three days in Canada.
It is celebrated through families and friends
gathering to eat and give good luck. Turkey is the main
dish in the thanksgiving dinner. Thanksgiving parades are
also usually held. In Thanksgiving homes are decorated
with wreaths, fresh and dried flowers. Lamps are lighted
to brighten the environment. Tables are decorated with

5.Analytic expositionThe power of music in our life
Do you agree that music is important in our life? Yes
I do, music has certain role completing our day to day
activities. Here are some reasons why music is heardeverywhere and anywhere.

Music is a way to express feelings. When we fall in
love, the kind of music wed listen to would be all about
love. When were sad, we would go for music that is
melancholic in nature and immerse ourselves in the
sadness. When were happy, wed choose songs with
happy tunes too.
Song can help to memorize the last experiences. A
favorite song is a powerful documentary. People withAlzheimer which are impaired the brain would remember
details about songs they were familiar with. For example,
an elderly woman who couldnt even remember her
husbands name would remember the details of her
favorite song; when it was played, how it made her feel
and things about the song that made it especially
memorable for her.
Further, music can unite people for a cause and
changes the world. A song with good lyric and striking
deep chord can stimulate the universal feeling of all
people. We can see it in the case of the famous and
legendary Michael Jacson's Heal the World. It can arouse
humanism of a lot people in this world.
So what would the world be like without music? It would
be lonely.

6.Hortatory expositionIndonesian People Should Value All the
Different Culture to Promote Unity of the Nation
Indonesia is a culturally-diverse country. Many
different religions and cultures from many provinces are
now seen living side by side in many places. One of the
biggest questions facing Indonesian today is how to deal
with a culturally diverse citizenry and then promote unity.
Therefore, Indonesians should appreciate differences
among culture for the following reasons. Firstly, Indonesia
is vulnerable to separation for its archipelago and culture
diversity. Raising tolerance among people is the best way
to maintain the unity among differences. Many ways or
cultures of living are equally legal, even if they are not
regarded as normal by some people. If a society claims to
be tolerant of personal choice, then it must respect the
personal choice to retain their heritage. Then, unity of the
nation can be preserved.
Secondly, Indonesians must recognize that every
culture has different customs and beliefs. Thus, people are
forbidden to make judgments of comparative value, for it
is measuring something unmeasured. A plurality of
nations, especially in the modern era, can allow for
cultural development and cultural exchange that benefits
both parties. The cross-cultural understanding among
7/30/2019 Anis Tugas Text
7/16
cultures makes the world a better place and preserves the
unity of the nation.
Lastly, raising nationalism is one way to preserve
unity of the nation. It is a sense of fellow feeling between
group members. This promotes cooperation and social
cohesion within the group. The sense of social cooperation
makes welfare, social security and medical programs
much more likely and stronger.
Cultural differences are sometime a sensitive matter for
people. Indonesian people must teach younger generation
about the importance of the cultural identity and
nationalism to promote unity of the nation.

9.Discussion textThe Ban on Smoking in Public Places
Smoking ban in public places has been a hot issue
these last months not only in Malta but also in various
countries who are discussing the effects a ban would have.
There have been several debates on smoking ban. Even
though the harmful effects of smoking, both active and
passive, are well known and undeniable smoking is far
from being in decline; it is spreading among young people
in particular quickly.
Most controversial debate is going on public
smoking ban. The reason is simple, smoking ban affects
directly all people rapidly and we can see its effects in a
short-term period. There have been a lot of arguments
brought up both in favour and against a public smoking
ban. Some of the arguments in favour are the following.
Smoking ban is one of the controversial ways for reducing
smoking and recognizing non-smokers right to health
protection. The health risks of smoking are clear. Passive
smoking does carry risks. Many leading medical and
scientific organizations recognize second hand smoke as a
cause of a range of life-threatening conditions. The health
situation could be drastically improved if one of the risk
factors - tobacco - was eliminated. People have a right to
protect themselves from smoke inhalation. People
shouldnt have to inhale the ill-effects of other peoples
7/30/2019 Anis Tugas Text
10/16
smoking. The creation of smoke-free public places also
improves air quality.
Those opposing a smoking ban say that freedom of
choice would be affected by such legislation. Some people
against a ban say that smoking bans damage business. A
smoking ban could lead to a significant fall in earnings
from bars, restaurants and casinos. Another argument is
that the smoker has a basic human right to smoke in publicplaces, and the ban is a limitation for smokers rights.
Businesses, smokers, publicans, tobacco industries, stars,
and some of the non-smokers oppose public smoking ban.
Smokers light a cigarette because they need to smoke, not
because they want it, because nicotine is physically
addictive. Therefore, some smokers think that the public
smoking ban is oppressiveness. They see the ban as a
treatment to smokers as second-class citizens. Smokers
agree that the smoking ban benefits the world, but cannot
support the ban, because effects of nicotine obstruct them.
7/30/2019 Anis Tugas Text

Public smoking ban needs to be measured and
understood better. Smokers should not be made to look
like outcasts, but smokers should respect non-smokers
when sharing places. I agree that completely smoke-free
places are the ideal, and some businesses have taken the
decision to go completely smoke-free. However, everyone
agrees that, it is a matter of rights - the right of smokers to
smoke versus non-smokers to protect from passive
smoking and to breathe clean air.

11. Review TextHarry Potter: Order of the Phoenix
OrientationI absolutely love the Harry Potter series, and all of the
books will always hold a special place in my heart.
Evaluasi 1
I have to say that of all of the books, however, this was not
my favorite.
Evaluasi 2
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.
Interpretation
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
pace of the other books has slowed to a trot here, and parts
7/30/2019 Anis Tugas Text
13/16
of it do seem long, as if we're 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 in to 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 all, but the
sudden change in his character seemed too drastic. He
goes from being a warm-hearted, considerate person tosomeone 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 clich of the "angry teen"
overnight.
Summary
The "real" story seemed to happen in the last 1/3 of the
book, and this part I loved. I actually liked the ending (and
yes, I cried!) 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.

12. Anecdote TextSnake in the Bath
Abstract
How would you like to find a snake in your bath? A nasty
one too!
OrientationWe had just moved into a new house, which had been
empty for so long that everything was in a terrible mess.
Anna and I decided we would clean the bath first, so we
set to, and turned on the tap.
Crisis
Suddenly to my horror, a snakes head appeared in the
plug-hole. Then out slithered the rest of his long thin
body. He twisted and turned on the slippery bottom of the
bath, spitting and hissing at us.
Reaction/Incident
For an instant I stood there quite paralysed. Then I yelled
for my husband, who luckily came running and killed the
snake with the handle of a broom. Anna, who was only
three at the time, was quite interested in the whole
business. Indeed I had to pull her out of the way or shed
probably have leant over the bath to get a better look!
