1. My lovely home My house is only a five minute-walk from school. It is not very big, but very cosy and quiet. This is the place where we can relax and find our own space. In our home, we really enjoy our relaxing time from the pressure of school and work. It has a nice and warm living room. There is a beautiful painting of scenery hanging on the wall. My father is a keen gardener. He puts some pots of indoor plants near the door. In low cabinet, you will see the trophies, pictures of my fmily, small toys, and some books. I am lucky to have a room to myself. I paint the wall olive green. It’s my favorite color. There is a desk. I do my homework there. I lso put a portable radio-tape there. The kitchen is my mother’s domain. My mother keeps it clean all day. There is a blue wall cabinet in it. It harmonizes with the grey wall tiles. However, only few will give my home a second glance. Still we are very proud of it. It may not be a perfect one but, all the same, it is home sweet home.

2 There are about forty teachers in my school. Most of them are kind and helpful. But my favorite one is Mr. Henry, my English teacher. Mr. Henry is tall and slim enough. He is about thirty years old. Mr. Henry is always neatly dressed. To school, he always carries a briefcase. He uses it to keep his books and other things. I always look forward to Mr. Henry’s class because it is never boring. His jokes make his lessons interesting and lively. He always advises us to read more story books to improve our English. He also encourages us to do excercises during the weekend, like jogging and swimming. Although Mr.Henry is usually humorous, he can be very strict at times. He likes to give a punishment to errant students. He asks them to write a letter of confession. Mr. Henry is also a caring person. Once I fell off my bike and had a deep cut on my knee. He washed my wound and put medicine on it. I was touched by his kindness. I am lucky to have a teacher like Mr. Henry. He is friendly, dedicated, and experienced in his work.

3 One of the most interesting animals in the zoo is the giraffe. This is the giraffe we saw at the zoo. It is male and it is about six meters tall. The giraffe has big brown eyes. They are protected by very thick lashes. The giraffe has brown spots on the skin. The coloring helps protect the giraffe. It also has two short horns on its head. Like a camel, it can go for a long time without drinking water. One source of water is the leaves which it eats from trees. It is tall, so the giraffe can reach the tender leaves at the top of a tree. The giraffe has two methods of self protection. If something frightens an adult giraffe, it can gallop away at about fifty kilometers per hour or stay to fight with its strong legs.

4 Krakatoa is one of the volcanoes of the Sunda volcanic arc. The volcano was formed by the subduction of the Indian-Australian plate under the Eurasian plate. Krakatoa (krakatau) is located in Sunda strait, 40 km of the west coast of Java on the island of Rakata in Indonesia. The geographical coordinates of Krakatoa are 16.7 south latitude and 105.4 east longitude. At its peak, Krakatoa reached a height of 790 m (2,600 ft.) above sea level. Its first known eruption occurred in 416 A.D. However, this eruption destroyed the volcano of Krakatoa which collapsed and formed a four-mile wide caldera. The islands of Verlaten and Lang are remnants of this older volcano. Subsequently, three volcanoes combined to form the island of Krakatau.

Television Television. Or TV, is one of humanity’s most important means of communication. It brings pictures and sounds from around the world into millions of homes.

People with a television set can sit in their house and watch the president makes a speech or visits a foreign country. They can see a war being fought, and they can watch government leaders try to bring about peace. Through television, viewers at home can see and learn about peoples, places, and things in far away lands. Television even takes viewers out of this world as the astronauts explore outer space. In addition to all these things, television brings its viewers a steady stream of programs that are designed to entertain. In fact, TV provides many more entertainment programs than any other kind of information media. The programs include action packed dramas, light comedies, soap operas, sport events, cartoons, quizzes, variety shows, and motion pictures.

Description More than 83 million homes in the United States-or 98 % of all the country’s homes-have at least one television set. On the average, a television set is in use in each home for about 6 ¾ hours each day. As a result, television has an important influence on how people spend their time, as well as on what they see and learn. After they arrive from work, they usually watch TV. Then, the importance of television is proven.

1 Whales Whales are sea living mammals. They are therefore breathe air but cannot survive on earth. Some species are very large indeed and the blue whale, which can exceed 30 m in length, is the largest animal to have lived on earth. Superficially, the whale looks raher like a fish, but there are important differences in its external structure; its tail consists of a pair of broad, flat, horizontal paddles(the tail of a fish is vertical) and it has a single nostril on top of its large, broad head. The skin is smooth and shiny and beneath it lies a layer of fat(blubber). This is up to 30 cm in thickness and serves to conserve heat and body fluids. (source: p.4, Panduan Materi, Balitbang, Depdiknas, 2006)

2 An automatic teller machine (ATM) is machine permitting a bank’s customer to make cash withdrawals at any time and without a human teller. ATM has a variety of names, such as: Automatic Teller Machine, Automated Banking Machine, Hole-inthe wall, Cash Dispenser, and some other names. ATM allows people to deposit cash or checks, checks their account balances, transfers money between their bank accounts, and many others. In modern ATM, costumers authenticate themselves by using a plastic card with a magnetic stripe. It encodes the customer’s account number. By entering a pass code called a PIN (Personal Identification Number), a customer can make withdrawals. If the costumer enters it incorrectly several times in row, most ATMs will retain the card as a security precaution. Most ATMs are connected to interbank networks. It enables the customers to withdraw in places where their bank has no branches. Besides, it is also possible to withdraw local currency in a foreign currrency. Many banks charge a fee for the use of their ATMs by non –depositors. Nowadays, many banks place ATMs in grocery stores, shopping malls, and other locations.

3 A hospital is the largest and most complex form of medical facility. It deals with patients who need complex diagnostic procedures. Treatment in a hospital is a team effort. The physicians are directly responsible for a patient’s welfare. All of the hospital personnel sport the work of the physicians. A hospital has many departments in it. They are medical and surgical service, food service, laboratory, scanning and X-ray department, medical records department, pharmacy, and rehabilitation department. There are many kinds of hospitals. Acute-care hospitals include primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions. The low-technology primary hospitals are located in rural areas. The secondary hospitals provide a greater range of physicians skills and modern technology than the primary hospitals. Meanwhile, the tertiary hospitals provide the latest medical equipment. Other types of hospitals are specialty hospitals. They admit only those patients who fit a restricted group of diagnoses. Psychiatric hospitals are the most numerous specialty hospitals. They have the largest patient population. (source: Grolier Encyclopedia of Knowledge, p.166, Let’s Talk IX)

4 Fish are animals that live in water. Fish have fins that help them to swim. Most fish have slimy skins covered with scales which are very small and can hardly be seen. Fish breathe through gills. These look like a comb and lie on each side of the head. Fish take in water all the time. The water flows in through the mouth, over the gills, and out through the sides of the head. When a fish takes in water, it is not drinking but breathing, and gills absorbe oxygen from the water. The body of a fih is made up of the head, the trunk, and the tail fins. There are many kinds of fih which have many different shapes and colors. Some fish are long and thin, while others are flat and rounded. Most fish have bodies which are broad at the trunk region and narrow towards the head and tail. @hak cipta pusat kurikulum smpn 3 Trimurjo - Ahmad Sanuri

A SHEPHERD BOY Once there was a shepherd boy. He had to look after a flock of sheep everyday. One day, he felt very lonely and bored. He decided to play trick on the villagers. He ran into the village, shouting very loudly,”Help! Help! Wolf! Wolf!” The villagers heard his cries and came running to chase away the wolf. When they reach the meadow, they asked the boy,”Where is the wolf?” The shepherd boy said, “Oh! It was here, but now it is gone.” The next day, he played the same trick again. He shouted, “Help! Wolf!” The villagers ran to help the boy. But once again they did not see the wolf. A few days laler, the shepherd boy once again shouted, “Help! Help! Wolf! Wolf!” Now the villagers did not help the boy. They laughed and said to each other,” He is trying to trick us again!” But this time a wolf really came and killed the sheep and no one came to help the boy. The boy was very sorry. He promised not to trick people again.

1 The Lion and the Mouse One day a lion slept in the jungle. A tiny mouse ran over the Lion’s head and down his nose. The Lion awoke with a loud roar. He was very angry. His paw caught the little Mouse. The Lion opened his huge jaws to swallow the Mouse. “Pardon me, O king, I beg of you,” cried the frightened mouse. “If you forgive me this time, I will never forget your kindness. I meant no harm and I certainly didn,ta want to disturb your majesty. If you let me satay alive, I can do you a good turn, too.” The Lion began to laugh. He laughed and laughed.

“How could a tiny creature like you ever do anything to help me?” and he shook with laughter. “Oh well,” he shrugged, looking down at he frightened mouse, “you’re not so much of a meal anyway.” Then, he released his paw from the mouse and the mous quickly ran away. Some time after this, some hunters tried to capture the lion alive. They set up rope nets in the jungle. The lion fell into the trap. He roared and thrashed. His thunderous bellows sent through the jungle. The tiny mouse heard the lion’s roars. “That may be the lion who once freed me,” he said, remembering his promise. And he ran to see whether he could help. Discovering the sad lion, the mouse said to him,”Stop, stop! You must not roar. If you make so much noise, the hunters will come and capture you. I’ll get you out of this trap.” With his sharp little teeth, the mouse gnawed at the ropes untill they broke. The lion stepped out of the net and was free. Then the mouse said,”Now, was I not right?” “Thank you, good mouse,” said the lion gently. “You did help me. I see now that kindness is always worth while.”

2 There was a porcupine named Landi. He was lonely. No one wanted to play with him because they were afraid of his spikes. “Dear Landi. We don’t want to play with you because your spikes are too sharp. We don’t want you to hurt us,” said Cici the rabbit one day. “Cici is right, Landi. It is not because you are bad or rude to us. No, Landi! Just because of your spikes. They will stab us when we cone close to you,”said Tito the rooster. Landi felt lonely. He murmured,”Why don’t they want to play with me”? Landi spent most of the time day dreaming at the river bank. “I would have lots af friends and play with them if no spikes were on my body. I would be happy. I would not be lonely like this. What a shame!” Suddenly, Kuku the turtle appeared from the river. He came to Landi and said,”Landi, what are you thinking of?” “Oh, nothing,” Landi replied. “Don’t lie to me, Landi. Please tell me your problem. Who knows I can help you,” Kuku said wisely. Then he sat beside Landi. He wasn’t afraid of Landi’s spikes. Shortly, Landi told Kuku his problem. Kuku nodded his head. He said,”poor you. But it is not your fault. I know, your spikes are very useful and helpful to you. Your friends will realize it some day. Trust me, Landi.” “Thanks, Kuku. You are really my best friend. You are the only one here who wants to be my friend.” One day, Sam the frog held his birthday party. He invited all his friends, including Landi. But he decided not to come. He didn’t want to mess up the party. “I’ll come with you, Landi. I’ll tell everyone that you are harmless,” said Kuku. Finally, Landi attended the party. Everyone enjoyed it. Suddenly, Tito ran here and there screaming. “Help…help…! The evil wolf is coming. Save yourselves!” Then everyone ran to save their lives, except Kuku and Landi. Kuku pulled his head and legs into his shell. Landi rolled his body into a ball. Unintentionally, the evil wolf stepped his foot on Landi. Of course, the spikes pricked him. He screamed, “Ouch!” Since his foot was bleeding, he didn’t chase Landi’s friends any longer. Then he ran away. “Horray…horray…! Long live Landi! He saved our lives,” said Cici and her friends. Everyone shook Landi’s hand and thanked him. From then on, Landi wasn’t lonely anymore. His friends knew that his spikes would not hurt anyone, unless they wanted to hurt Landi.

1 Hi, I am Jundi. I have a twin brother named Fatan. We were born on August 9, 1994. we are in the ninth grade now. Fatan and I do everything together. We are in the same class. We dress alike. We look the same. We always get other people confused. This really makes Fatan and I laugh. Teachers and friends always get us mixed up at school. Even our father has trouble telling us apart. Our mother doesn’t. She always knows which twin is which. Fatan and I often try to confuse her, but it has never happened. One day, told our mother to get one of us a different haircut, so that he could tell us apart. Fatan and I were horrified. We didn’t want to look different. We liked looking the same. Our mother came to the rescue, and refused to make us cut our hair. We were happy just the way we were and didn’t want to change. Our dad just shook his head. He would have to stay confused. Fatan and I didn’t care. We knew which one was which, and that was all that mattered. (adapted from:http:/www.abcteach.com/reading2/september 10,2004,LT,viii,65)

2 Diving In Bunaken Island Last year I left New Zealand for Bunaken Island. I went there with a group of New Zealand drivers. Getting there was not quite easy. Soon after our arrival at Bunaken, we got a general briefing. It included a description about how to take pictures under water. Then, we began our diving. In our diving, we saw groups of tiny fish. In order to identify them, we needed a good guide. Without some knowledge of their habitat and behavior, it was difficult to identify. In summary, the trip was mostly enjoyable. This place is so impressive with its marine life. (adapted from:http:/www.ianskipworth.com/suig/bunaken.html/LT,viii,173,February 1,2005)
