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!

Sponges or Porifera are group of animals that includes about 10.000 living species.
Adult sponges are sessile animals that attach to hard rocky surfaces, shells or submerged
objects. The larvae are ciliated, free-swimming creatures. Most sponges inhabit marine
environment, but a few species live in freshwater habitats. There are three sub groups of
sponges, the glass sponges, the demosponges and the calcareous sponges.
Sponges are primitive multicellular animals that have no digestive system, no
circulatory system and no nervous system. They do not have organs and their cells are not
organized into well-defined tissues. The body of a sponge is like a sac that is perforated
with lots of small openings or pores.
Sponge are filter feeders. They draw water in through the pores located throughout
their body wall into a central cavity. The central cavity is lined with collar cells which
have a ring of tentacles that surround a flagellum. Movement of the flagellum creates
current that keeps water flowing through the central cavity and out of a hole at the top of
the sponge called the osculum. As water passes over the collar cell’s ring of tentacles.
Once absorbed, food is digested in food vacuoles or transferred to the amoeboid cells in
the middle layer of the body wall for digestion.

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.
29. What is the main ide of paragraph 1?
A. Recycling is important in today’s world.
B. Conserving the energy.
C. Protecting the environment.
D. Environmental construction.
E. Saving money through recycling.
30. “Recycling reduces the need for extracting…” the underline word has the closest
meaning with…
A. Decrease.
B. Continue.
C. Increase.
D. Affect.
E. Pollute
31. ”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

PALU: The Central Sulawesi administration will need at least three years to
rehabilitate areas most affected by recent natural disasters, including Palu, Sigi, Donggala
and Parigi Moutong, an official has said.
“We may need two years to complete the permanent housing [for survivors], but the
whole region may need at least three years to recover its economy,” Central Sulawesi
Main Planning Team head Suprayoga Hadi told The Jakarta Post recently.
Suprayoga, who is also a planner with the National Development Planning Agency
(Bappenas), said the government had reactivated a trust fund for post-disaster
rehabilitation, which was first established in 2010 and is currently managed by Bappenas.
The trust fund currently manages around US$28 million and the government is
seeking additional funds.
Suprayoga said the governor was in charge of post-disaster rehabilitation because
the Central Sulawesi earthquake and subsequent tsunami and soil liquefaction were
regional disasters and never declared a national disaster.
Central Sulawesi Governor Longki Djanggola said the administration needed Rp 40
trillion ($2.85 billion) to recover Palu, Donggala, Sigi and Parigi Moutong.
“[The amount] excludes stimulant funds amounting to Rp 2.6 trillion, which I proposed,”
he said, adding that he had proposed the budget to the National Disaster Mitigation
Agency (BNPB) in January.
According to the governor, the funds will be used to mainly build temporary
housing, assist survivors and rebuild infrastructure.
Meanwhile, the Central Sulawesi Public Information Commission (KIP Central
Sulawesi) called on the administration to open access to information for the public,
including information regarding rehabilitation programs and finances.
“The public needs to be able to access information regarding the distribution of
assistance and budgets,” said KIP Central Sulawesi commissioner Isman Manes.
At least 100,000 houses, 327 places of worship, 265 schools, 78 offices and 362
shops were damaged in the earthquake. (swd)

The following text is for questions 39and 40.
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.
5. Don’t lie in the sun purposefully seeking a tan. This is not only damaging to your
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 over
time.
6. Put a small amount of oil or sunscreen in your hair so you will avoid burning your
scalp. Or cover it with a hat. Some shampoos and hair conditioners contain SPF
protection.
39. The text tells us about …
A. The steps to cure sunburn.
B. The ways to catch the sunlight.
C. The tips how to prevent sunburn.
