bahkan susah bernafas dan efek selanjutnya bisa menimbulkan
kematian.
3. Where do you usually find such a caution?
A. At all public places with non domestic visitorsB. Any places
visited by tourists.C. On all the mountains with few visitorsD. At
the volcanoes for tourist resorts

Once upon time, a man had a wonderful parrot. There was no other
parrot like it. The parrot could say every word, except one word.
The parrot would not say the name of the place where it was born.
The name of the place was Catano.
The man felt excited having the smartest parrot but he could not
understand why the parrot would not say Catano. The man tried to
teach the bird to say Catano, however the bird did not say the
word.
At first, the man was very nice to the bird but then he got very
angry. You stupid bird! pointed the man to the parrot. Why cant you
say the word? Say Catano! Or I will kill you the man said angrily.
Although he tried hard to teach, the parrot would not say it. Then

Catano or Ill kill you. The bird kept not to say the word of
Catano.

Read the following text to answer questions 32 to 35.
Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, and
are known for their role in pollination and for producing honey and
beeswax. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees in nine
recognized families though many are undescribed and the actual
number is probably higher. They are found on every continent except
Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains
insect-pollinated flowering plants.
Bees have a long proboscis (a complex "tongue") that enables
them to obtain the nectar from flowers. They have antennae almost
universally made up of 13 segments in males and 12 in females, as
is typical for the super family. Bees all have two pairs of wings,
the hind pair being the smaller of the two; in a very few species,
one sex or caste has relatively short wings that make flight
difficult or impossible, but none are wingless.
The smallest bee is Trigona minima, a stingless bee whose
workers are about 2.1 mm (5/64") long. The largest bee in the world
is Megachile pluto, a leafcutter bee whose females can attain a
length of 39 mm (1.5"). Members of the family Halictidae, or sweat
bees, are the most common type of bee in the Northern Hemisphere,
though they are small and often mistaken for wasps or flies.

MAKING CANDLES
Making coloured and scented candles is really quick and simple.
What's more, you'll save so much money. If making candle is easy,
why do you ever buy one from a shop? What you need in making candle
are wax, moulds, wick, dye discs, essential oils, and a double
boiler. All these materials are available from craft shops. Or if
you do not want to buy them, you can improvise with an old
saucepan, Pyrex jug, or even a sturdy can, in a pot of water. After
providing the materials, follow this procedure or instruction in
making candles!
First of all, melt the wax. All wax has a flash point, so to
prevent it bursting into flames; you must melt it in a double
boiler, with water in the bottom of the pan.
Then, prepare the mould with the wick. Thread the wick through
the mould and make sure that you leave a good few centimeters
sticking out of the hole in the bottom.
After that, add the scent. If you want a scented candle, add a
few drops of essential oil to the melted wax. You can use any
essential oil you like, as long as it doesn't contain water.
Next step, pour the wax into the mould. Try and tip the wax into
the mould quickly, all in one go, to minimize spillage and air
bubbles.
Then, release the bubbles and top it up. Releasing the air
bubbles will eventually make the candle sink, so you will need to
top it up with more melted wax.
Finally, remove it from the mould. After four or five hours, the
candle can be taken out of its mould.
Your candle is now ready for display. Remember, you must always
leave it for a day before lighting it.

Dear Dr. Hambali Sahali,
We would like to invite you and your staff to visit our school
SMP Duta Bangsa, where we are engaged in an exciting service
learning project.
Service-learning is a teaching method that engages our students
in solving problems within their school and communities as an
integral part of their academic studies. It is hoped that students
master important curriculum content by making meaningful connection
between what they study and its real-life applications. Besides,
students become more effective citizens through acts of kindness,
community stewardship and civic action. This effort is made
possible with support from Learn and Serve America, a program of
the corporation for National and Community Service.
May we suggest that you visit us on January 11, 2010 at 10

local media, and several families of students whom we serve. They

service-learning activities in our local community.
We have enclosed a one page profile of our program for your
reference. I will contact your office within the next two weeks to
follow-up on this invitation. Again, we do hope you can join us on
this occasion.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely,
