Dear Big Meal's representative

I'm writing to infrom you that I had a negative bad experience at your location
in Columbus, New Jersey on August 4. My receipt number is 512, and the person
who handled my order was Alex.
First of all, I recognize that you, as the reader of this letter, are not responsible
for my bad experience, but I am still upset about the situation.
I went to the drive through and odered seven meals with no pickles.
When I received my order, I checked that all of the sandwiches and fries were in the
bag paid and drove away. When I got home, I realized my number seven had pickles
on it. I'm allergic to pickles, and I didn't want to waste the sandwich, so I drove
back to the drive through to explain the situation and get it fixed.
I feel very disappointed with this interaction, as I usually enjoy my experiences at
your restaurant. To fix this situation, I would like a coupon for a free meal of my
choice. I think an apology from Alex is also appropriate.
Please contact me at 555.555.5555 or email me back at [email protected]. I would
like this situation to be resolved so I can continue to be a loyal Big Meal's patron.

Best,

Jim Korkell

16. What is the letter about?

B. Complaining bad

The following text is for questions 26 to
29.
Solar energy evaporates exposed water from seas, lakes, rivers and wet soil, the
majority of this evaporation takes place over the seas. Water is also released into the
atmosphere by the plants through photosynthesis. During this process, known as
evapotranspiration, water vapour rises into the atmosphere.
Clouds are formed when air becomes saturated with water vapour. The two major
types of cloud formation are stratified or layered grey clouds called surutus and
following white or dark grey cloud called cumulus clouds.
Precipitation as rain or hail ensures the heated water retuns to, Earth's surface in a
fresh form. Some of this rain, however, falls into the seas and is not acessible to
humans. When rain falls, it either washes down hill slopes or seeps underground, when
/ snow and hail melt, this water may also shrink into the ground.

The text is for numbers 36 to 38.

When author Nicholas Sparks sat down to write The Notebook, a tender love story
inspired by the enduring relationship of his wife Cathy's grandparents, he wanted his
readers to walk away with a renewed spirit of hope.
''I'll never forget watching those two people flirt," he recalls. "I mean, you don't
see that very often. They'd been married 67 years, and yet they still loved each other. I
wanted to write a book about that kind of love. I wanted people to know that
unconditional love does exist.
So Sparks created The Notebook, the simple story of Noah Calhoun, a soft spoken
North Carolina outdoorsman who carried his love for the willowy Allie Nelson with him /
along after their youthful romance had ended. He paralleled Noah's silent passions with
Allie's haunting thoughts-feelings she could not escape even after she became
engaged to another man. He asked his readers to consider what it might mean if these
relatively happy, middle-aged people found their destinies once again overlapped.
He presented questions all but universal in appeal: what would happen if two
people were given a second chance at the love of a lifetime.
Sparks deftly answers that question. But it's the inspiration drawn from his
real life grandparents that makes The Notebook more than just a novel of flames
reignited. The novel opens and closes with an elderly Noah Calhoun reading aloud
from his personal journals and "notebook". And as he shares the delicate details, the
good with the bad, it's clear he is as enchanted with Allie in old age as he was on the day
they met.
"And that's the legacy of The Notebook," according to Nicholas Sparks. "When
love is real, it doesn't matter what turns the road takes. When love is real, the joys and
possibilities are endless.

36. Who has inspired the writer?

A. An outdoorsman.
B. Nicholas Sparks.
C. Cathy's grandparents.

over the world. Cultural intermingling increases and every nation tries to know
more about the other nations' cultural preferences. In this process, we are actually
coming across things that we like and in the course of time adopt it. However, there are
/ also opponents of globalization. There is immense pressure on the employed people of
developed countries who are always under the threat of their jobs being outsourced,
Globalization may lead to loss of cultural identity as western ideas are always imposed
upon the eastern thoughts.

The Graduation Standard
The implementation of the new graduation standard for High-School Students
has evoked people to bring different responses. Some people's ideas are for some
others againts the rule.
Some people agree with the rule because it indicates students' mastery of the whole
material or the competence they have managed to have over the past three years. The
result of the final exam is also significant for students' future study in the higher
level. In addition, we are far left behind by our neighboring countries that have
implemented a higher graduation grade standard. If the standard is omitted, then
student will get left behind even further by those students from neighboring countries
students.
However, some other people believe that imposing a high standard will not be
effective. The results of the exams have proven to be unreliable. How can you asses
the students' competence only in a couple of days. A smart student for example, may
get a low grade just because he is sick during the exam. On the other hand, an idle student
may achieve the standard due to luck. There should then be an alternative way to the
national exam.
Despite different points of view, the government's relating party are intensely
working on this matter in the hope of getting a better solution upon improving
the
High-School graduates'
quality.

40. What is the writer's position in the controversy of graduation standardization?

B. The writer follows the government's
policy. C. The writer is strongly against it.

it. E. The writer opposes

What is water pollution? Water pollution is what happens when factories,
wastewater treatment plants, construction sites, and people put things in the water that /
make it dirty. At one time, factories dumped untreated waste into the water. This is an
example of water pollution. Not only does water pollution come from what is dumped
into the water, but what is dumped on the land. When you put trash in a storm drain, toilet
or in a body of water (rivers, lakes, streams, oceans) it causes the water to be polluted.
Just think, if someone were changing their oil on their car and they dumped the oil on the
ground, what would happen? Would you want to eat the fish that came from a waterway
where you knew that oil went? Even today, accidents on ships and off-shore drilling rigs
spill oil into the oceans. Animal waste run off from livestock feedlots seeps into
groundwater, lakes, rivers and streams that eventually make it to the ocean. Fertilizers and
pesticides wash off from fields and forests and soak into lakes, rivers, streams and ground
water. Wastes from mines drain into water. Garbage disposals and toilets are also a large
waste contributor.

42. The main idea of the text is ....

A. sources of water pollution are varied
B. some materials are potential pollutants
C. water pollution is caused by many factors
D. human activities are main causes of pollution
E. water pollution is a body of water affected by impurities in it

This text is for questions 45 and
46.

We are announcing today that we are bringing the Milestone and Ever Green brands even
closer together. Effective as of 5" December 2013, our official name will be:

GREEN MILES WEST

The substitution of "West" in our name---replacing "Cianjur---is the result of

an agreement we reached with Cianjur Gardening Assosiation, following a protest over
the original use of "Cianjur" in our name.

We hope this does not create any confusion among our loyal consumers. While this
/
represents a change from our initial name introduction, it does not change the quality of
products we offer to our consumers.

45. Who issues the announcement?

A. Green Miles West Company.
B. Green Miles West Customers.
C. The co-worker of Green Miles West.
D. The partnership of Green Miles West.
