Dear
Tantri,
Nowadays,
it’s difficult to find a true friend like you. I sometimes think
I am
very
lucky to get you as my friend. Without you, my life would have
been very
boring.
I still remember the first day of school when we were young. You
called
me
and gave me a seat. That moment is not easy to forget. It is the
beginning of
our
long friendship. You even often shared some of your food when my
mother
forgot
to give me pocket money. You also lent me a dictionary when I
forgot to
bring
it. It’s almost 15 years we have been shared problems and fun
together.
Now,
you’re not here anymore. I would like to thank you for being
there for me
for
the ups and downs of my life.
It’s
time for us to
be apart. You have to move to Surabaya. I just want to say that
you
are my best friend. It is difficult for me to say goodbye. I don’t
want
you to
leave
me but I know that moving to Surabaya is very important for your
future.
I
only hope that you will get everything that you dream of in your
new city. One thing that I want
to tell you, please don’t forget me. Keep in touch. Send
me an email and tell your
activities there. Don’t make the distance break our
relationship.
It
is hard for me to stay away from you. I can’t wait to meet you
soon.
With
best wishes,
Truly
yours,
Veny

The
following text for questions 17 to 19.
Someone
that I admire most is my mother. She is my idol. In my opinion, my
mother
is not only beautiful but also kind. In addition, she is a good
housewife.
Her
beauty comes from her good looking physical appearance. She is
average in height. Her straight, black hair is shiny. Furthermore,
the color of her eyes is like honey. And her light brown skin is
still very supple. She looks attractive in whatever clothes she
wears.
Besides
her attractive appearance, my mother is very kind. She likes to
help
people.
For example, whenever there are sick people in our neighborhood,
she will give them a visit. She often gives food and drink to the
unfortunate people. She pays the school fee of some orphans in the
surroundings. And something that impresses me more
is she doesn’t like other people to know whenever she
does good deed.
In
addition, my mother is a good housewife. She takes care of her
family well. For instance, she prepares all the healthy food for
the whole family. She keeps the house clean
and organized. She makes sure that the whole family’s need is
fulfilled. She is a great mother and I love her very much.

The

When
I was seven years old, I was given a small wallet to keep my
pocket
money
in. I felt so happy and put it in my hip pocket.
One
day, during the break time at school, I discovered that my wallet
was
missing.
I checked it but I could not find it. There was some money in the
wallet and
without
it I could not buy anything to eat. I was close to tears. It was
not because of
losing
my precious wallet but because I might get scolded by my parents.
Anyhow I
went
hungry that day.
In
the class I could not concentrate well to study at all. I kept
thinking about
how
I lost my wallet and what my parents would react. How was I going
to explain
the
loss? I did not know whether someone had taken it from my pocket
or it had
merely
fallen out. I hoped that someone would find and return it to me.
When
I told my mother about my loss, she was angry. She told me that it
would
not
have happend if I had been careful. When my father came home, I
got another
anger.
Then he told me that there would not be any more wallets for me
until I got
older.
Luckily,
I still got pocket money from my parents. I am glad to say that I
never lost anything again. I had learned to be more careful. It is
not pleasant to lose
something
and then get scolded for losing it. (Adapted from

Bunaken
is one of the very amazing places I have ever visited. It is
located in
North
Sulawesi. This sea park consists of 5 islands and 2 coastal areas,
Bunaken
Island,
Manado Tua Island, Siladen Island, Mantehage Island, Nain Island,
Molas
Coast
- Tiwoho, and Arakan-Wawontulap Coast. Bunaken Island, where once
I spent
my
holiday, is the most popular. This ±8 km² wide island is located
at the Bay of
Manado.
This area represents the tropical ecosystem of Indonesia because
it has any
kind
of tropical water ecosystems, such as mangroves, seagrasses,
seaweeds, and
reefs.
I am
always amazed with the diversity of rare aquatic organism species
in this
place,
such as dugong, dolphin, etc. Because of its high biodiversity,
Bunaken can
attract
many tourists. It has 20 diving spots with the depth varying up to
1344 m.
These
spots are the most often visited by the divers and the submarine
panorama
lovers.
I have tried one of them and I found it really thrilling.
Furthermore, there are
underwater
great walls or hanging walls of giant corals that stand vertically
and
curve
up in this area. They become the food source for fishes in the
water around the
Bunaken
Island.
Besides
the charming submarine park, the islands in this area present the
natural
atmosphere. It is something which makes me enjoy staying. There
are many
cottages,
resorts, and diving centers that offer accommodation and diving
services.
Water
pool, hot shower, and restaurants are also provided.

I
was 12 years old when my family and I moved to a new neighborhood.

starting
my 6th grade in a new school, with new people and no friends. I
was a quiet
and
shy person, so I never hung out with the other neighborhood kids.
Before school
had
started, I had met a few people who were in the same grade as me.
After that
initial
meeting, I never saw them again until the first day of school.
For
the first day of school, I asked my mom to do my hair that morning
so it
would
look nice. She did my hair in my regular hairstyle, 5 ponytails
with the
barrettes
on the end. I arrived to school and went into my new classroom.
Everyone
stopped
their conversation to turn and look at me. I looked around the
classroom and
noticed
that all the females either had their hair in one ponytail or had
it pressed and
curled
into a style. My hair was styled like the 3rd or 4th graders at
that school. I was
