QUESTION TEXT
Read the text below and answer the questions that follow.
Most of teenagers need to go to school and there are a lot of schools over there.
Nowadays, schools grow to offer plenty of choice; private and state ones. However
it is a hard choice, since there are many factors which need to be considered before
making the selection. Some will be influenced by friends; because some friends got
to a certain school then we go to there too. Some prefer to choose a certain school
because of the closer distance. In fact, the primary decisive matter for selecting
school is whether the school has been accredited or not.
Why is it important to choose an accredited school? Well, accredited schools have
an edge over the unaccredited schools. This label of Accredited School has an
impact in employment opportunities. As result, if there are two or more students
with similar qualifications, the student who comes from the accredited school will
have an edge over the other candidate. A student from an accredited school has more
open door than student with an unaccredited one.
Many students select a certain school depending more on short term factors like
friend influence and short distance from home. It is not bad, since commuting
actually needs much cost. Choosing school which is closer to home will save time,
energy and money. However if that school is not accredited, the time and money
spent along studying seems to be waste in the long term because it could become a
limiting factor in gaining future opportunities.
Accredited school is not the only factor which will drive student‘s success.
Personality and characterization are very important too. However, a student with
good personality who comes from an accredited school is better than the others.
Based on the text above, which one is correct?
Select one:
a. The writer/speaker recommends an accredited school
b. The text comprises 4 kinds of components
c. The writer/speaker justifies the importance of personality
d. The phrase ―as a result‖ is typical of this text type

Before we are going to smoke, it is better to look at the fact. About fifty thousand
people die every year in Britain as direct result of smoking. This is seven times as
many as deaths in road accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers die because of diseases
caused by smoking.
Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five cigarettes a
day, we are six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a non-smoker. If we
smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is nineteen times greater. Ninety five percent
of people who suffer from bronchitis are people who smoke. Smokers are two and
half times more likely to die of heart disease than non-smokers.
Additionally, children of smoker are more likely to develop bronchitis and
pneumonia. In one hour in smoky room, non-smoker breathes as much as substance
causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen cigarettes.
Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because they do make much money
from smoking habit. Smoking however is not good for everybody else.

QUESTION TEXT
Skateboarding
Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for
skateboarders to skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active,
energetic and adventurous pastime.
Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of skaters
speeding up and down the footpaths. Toddlers can be trampled on and old ladies can
be knocked down as they struggle home carrying their cat food from supermarkets.
Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young people‘s health. It increases
fitness, improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and ankles. Although it
appears to be a solo sport, when groups practice together and compete to perform
stunts or runs they form firm friendships.
Young people should be prevented from becoming overweight couch potatoes. If
they are actively involved in skating, they do not smoke, take drugs or break laws
for fun.
Kids will always seek thrills and excitement. They need to practice their 180s, 360s
and Ollie‘s free from restrictions. We must build skate parks in the suburbs so that
streets are safe for small children and senior citizens and skaters have spaces where
they can race, chase, speed, and soar towards the sun.
The writer‘s purpose for writing the text is ….
Select one:
a. To provoke youngsters into the local government policy
b. To promote the writer‘s business of skateboarding class
c. To invite the local teenagers to skate in a park built specifically for skaters

Have we wondered how we get chocolate from? Well this time we will enter the
amazing world of chocolate, so we can understand exactly what we are eating.
Chocolate starts with a tree called cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial
regions, especially in places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The
cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a small pine apple. Inside the fruits
are the tree‘s seeds. They are also known as coco beans.
Next, the beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun. After that they
are shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts processing by
roasting the beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans from different places
have different qualities and flavour. So they are often shorted and blended to
produce a distinctive
mix.
The next process is winnowing. The roasted beans are winnowed to remove the
meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then the nibs are blended. The
blended nibs are grounded to make it liquid. The liquid is called chocolate
liquor. It tastes bitter.
All seeds contain some amount of fat and cacao beans are not different.
However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why they ground nibs from liquid. It
is pure bitter chocolate.

and requires less energy than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce
pollution, either by reducing the demand for high-pollution alternatives or by
minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the manufacturing
process.
Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping
paper, and office paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is
newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old newspapers are collected and searched
for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminium foil.
The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and
turned into pulp in a machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The
pulp is screened and filtered to remove smaller contaminants. The pulp then
goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper fibres and floats to
the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as boiler
fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood fibres to be made into
paper again.
Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper
per month. Every ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50
cuff) of landfill space. One ton of recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees
(trees used to produce paper).

Which of the following is the best arrangement for the jumbled text?
Select one:
a. Tsunami
Tsunami always bring great damage. Most of the damage is caused
by the huge mass of water behind the initial wave front, as the height
of the sea keeps rising fast and floods powerfully into the coastal
area.
The term ―tsunami‖ comes from the Japanese which means harbor
(―tsu‖) and wave (―nami‖). A tsunami is a series of waves generated
when water in a lake or a sea is rapidly displaced on a massive scale.
A tsunami can be generated when the sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically displaces the
overlying water. Such large vertical
movements of the earth‘s crust can occur at plate boundaries.
Seduction of earthquakes are particularly effective in generating tsunami, and occur where
denser oceanic plates slip under continental plates.
As the displaced water mass moves under the influence of gravity to regain its equilibrium, it
radiates across the ocean like ripples on a pond.

Should Australia Become a Republic?

Recently, Australians have been debating the possibility of becoming a republic.

There are arguments for and against Australia pursuing this course in the twenty-first
century. I believe that Australia should become a republic. Republicans see Australia
as having moved beyond its British roots and desire change not only because it is
practical, but also symbolic. I believe that Britain is now less important to Australia
economically as well as culturally, and that Australia should look at forming stronger
 links with nations situated in the same region. On the other hand, those opposed to a
republic argue that our parliamentary system and other major institutions, such as the
law, are based on the British model, which has provided Australia with a stable
system of government, and they fear that any changes may threaten this stability. It
can be seen that there are reasons for and against becoming a republic. After looking
at both sides, I still believe that Australia should become a republic.

QUESTION TEXT
There are a lot of discussion as to whether children should be given
homework or not. Is it enough for children having time to study at school
or needing additional time in home for study after school time?
Some people claim that children do enough work in school already. They
also argue that children have their hobbies which they want to do after
school, such as sport or music. A further point they make is that a lot of
homework is pointless and does not help the children learn at all. 
However, there are also strong arguments against this point of view.
Parents and teachers argue that it is important to find out whether children
can work on their own without the support from the teacher. They say that
the evening is a good time for children to sit down and think about what
they have learned in school. 
Furthermore, they claim that the school day is too short to get anything
done. It makes sense to send home tasks like independent reading or
further writing task which does not need the teacher‘s support. 
I think, on balance, that some homework is a good idea, but that should
only be given at the weekend when children have more time. 
 
Which of the following is the best arrangement for the jumbled text?
Select one:
a. Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites are now technological applications that
are popular among teenagers as well as children. With this website, we can expand either of
kinship or friendship with the wider community, not only in the scope of the neighborhood itself,
but from different walks of life, environmental and social status. It becomes a necessity for
young people to have it. Therefore, social networking sites have resulted in both positive and
negative impacts.
The positive impacts of social networks are we are able to have many friends, able to bring
together the kinship that has not seen or has dropped out, able to share the information, able to
find out a place to vent, able to be a place to deliver our hobby such as writing, to make
promotion, and able to avoid stress.
The negative impact of social networks for teens and children are the social networking sites
they have. They will feel addicted and do not care about time, do not care about the
surroundings, lack of socialization with the environment, waste of money and credit, prone to
dispute or misunderstanding, often social media can be a place that the fraud can occur, and
social media can damage the health of the eye of children or people who use them.
The conclusion that can be drawn is that social networking does have many benefits, but it
cannot be denied that social networks also have a wide range of hazards and other consequences
like many boys and girls open social networking sites during school hours. Therefore, the teens
and the children should use social networks wisely and be able to sort the time between learning
and opening the social networking sites so they will not regret the impacts later. At school, the
students should have a training or socialization from adolescents, such as the teachers, so that
later they are able to understand how the devastating impact of social networks on an ongoing
basis so that it might be expected that the teens can be aware of and understand their obligations
or duties as the students.
