LISTENING SCRIPT
UNIT I
GECKO HAD COME TO LODGE A COMPLAINT.
Task 3
The Lion and the Mouse
A small mouse crept up to a sleeping lion. The mouse admired the lion’s ears, his long whiskers and his great mane.
“Since he’s sleeping,” thought the mouse, “he’ll never suspect I’m here!”
With that, the little mouse climbed up onto the lion’s tail, ran across its back, slid down its leg and jumped off of its paw. The lion awoke and quickly caught the mouse between its claws.
“Please,” said the mouse, “let me go and I’ll come back and help you someday.”
The lion laughed, “You are so small! How could ever help me?”
The lion laughed so hard he had to hold his belly! The mouse jumped to freedom and ran until she was far, far away.
The next day, two hunters came to the jungle. They went to the lion’s lair. They set a huge rope snare. When the lion came home that night, he stepped into the trap.
He roared! He wept! But he couldn’t pull himself free. The mouse heard the lion’s pitiful roar and came back to help him.
The mouse eyed the trap and noticed the one thick rope that held it together. She began nibbling and nibbling until the rope broke. The lion was able to shake off the other ropes that held him tight. He stood up free again!
The lion turned to the mouse and said, “Dear friend, I was foolish to ridicule you for being small. You helped me by saving my life after all!”
Task 4
Anita is in the school library. Anita complains to the librarian about the conditions of the books that she is going to borrow.
Excuse me, Ma’am. Can you do anything about the cover of this book?
It’s torn.
Oh, sure. I’ll mend it.
I’m afraid that this one also needs mending. I’m afraid we’ll lose some pages if we don’t bind it again.
Yes, I think it should be mended also. But I’m afraid that you won’t be able to borrow this book today. It takes time to bind. What about tomorrow?
Hmm, all right. Thank you, anyway.
You’re welcome. By the way, don’t you want to borrow another book?
I don’t think so. I only need that book at present.
Okay then. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.
Not at all.
UNIT II
IS IT TRUE THAT POVERTY IS CAUSED BY UNEMPLOYMENT?
Task 3
Ladies and gentlemen, on this occasion I would like to explain the definition of poverty and the conditions that may lead to poverty.
Well, poverty is deprivation of those things that determine the quality of life, including food, clothing, shelter and safe drinking water, but also such “intangibles” as the opportunity to learn and to enjoy the respect of fellow citizens. Many different factors have been cited to explain why poverty occurs. I’d like to mention some of the possible factors.
First is erosion. Intensive farming often leads to a vicious cycle of exhaustion of soil fertility and decline of agricultural yields and thence increased poverty.
Second are desertification and overgrazing. Approximately 40% of the world’s agricultural land is seriously degraded.
Third are geographic factors, for example the limited access to fertile land, fresh water, minerals, energy, and other natural resources.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, poverty is terrible thing that should be overcome.
Task 4
Adib and Ayu have just finished doing their homework at Ayu’s house. Now they are watching the news on TV.
Oh God! What a miserable fact!
I can’t believe it. I never thought that there are still many beggars in Indonesia.
Poverty is one of our country’s main problems at present. The unemployment rate is very high. No wonder there are everywhere.
I wonder why the government is slow in solving this problem.
It’s a complex problem. The government has made a lot of efforts to lower the unemployment rate. Jobs are created and many kinds of training are conducted.
How about villagers? Their condition could be worse.
Well, many villagers are very poor, but many people living in the city are also starving.
Yes, I agree with you.
Perhaps the authority should put this poverty problem the priority of the development.
Yes, I think so.
UNIT III
LANGUAGE IS A MEANS OF COMMUNICATION.
Task 2
Extinct Language
An extinct language is a language which no longer has any native speakers, in contrast to a dead language, which is a language which has stopped changing in grammar and vocabulary. Normally this conversion to an extinct language occurs when a language undergoes language death while being directly replaced by a different one. For example, Coptic, which was replaced by Arabic, and many Native American languages, which were replaced by English, French, Spanish, or Portuguese.
Language extinction also occurs when a language undergoes rapid evolution or assimilation until it eventually gives birth to an offspring, i.e., a dissimilar language or family of languages. Such is the case with Latin; an extinct language which serves as the parent of the modern Romance languages. Likewise Sanskrit is the parent of the modern Indian languages and Old English is the parent of Modern English.
In some cases, an extinct language remains in use for scientific, legal, or ecclesiastical functions.
Sanskrit, Latin, Ancient Greek, Old Church Slavonic, Avestan, Coptic, Old Tibetan and Ge’ez are among the many extinct languages used as sacred languages.
Task 3
Andi and Retno meet at the school gate. They have a conversation along the way to the classroom.
Hi, good morning.
Morning Andi. Do you know that I will submit my project today? Do you have a minute to read it?
Sure. Well, … it’s really good. But wait a minute, there is something wrong here. You have no consistency in your English. Do you mean to
use British or American English?
Really? Let me see. Oh, you’re right.
You must be consistent.
Yes, but my knowledge of the differences between American and British English is very limited. In addition, the spelling program in my computer is out of work.
Anyway, to revise your project, you have to decide whether you use British or American English. I propose that you write it in British English.
You’re right friend. I’ll use British English. Would you help me?
Okay.
Andi, could you show me the mistakes here in my project? I’ll make some notes. How about underlining the mistakes?
Fine, let me do it.
Oh it’s many. Can you show me one of the mistakes?
Let me show you one. The word “traveled” here should be with double l if you use British English.
I see. I’ll revise it as soon as possible. Thanks, Andi.
You’re welcome.
UNIT IV
SHOULD STUDENTS BE ALLOWED TO TAKE PART TIME JOBS?
Task 3
Hey Denias, I’ve got something to tell you.
What is it about? Tell me then.
I’ve been thinking to take a part time job, and I found a perfect job for me advertised in the newspaper yesterday.
Are you crazy? You must be joking! Anita, are you sure doing this? Have you considered all the consequences?
Sure I have. Listen to me, Denias. I strongly believe that taking a part time job helps me learn about responsibility, time management, and
improving my interpersonal communication skills. Well, those might be true, but I’m standing in a position that you may not perform your best on both your study and work. You should think about lack of sleep, insufficient time to focus on schoolwork, and conflicts with extracurricular activities.
Get real, Denias. It’s not only me, a student who works part time. Many students succeed maintaining good grade at school while working.
You’re right. However, some other students fail to perform the best on schoolwork.
Yeah, I know, Denias. Just wish me luck.
Sure, I do wish you the best of luck.
My dear students, taking a part time job while studying is surely a great challenge.
However, you must remember that school should always come first. School work, including homework and studying for tests, should always be your top priority. Also consider that taking part time job means that you will have less time for extracurricular activities you choose at school. These are all issues you have to think about when you are considering working part-time.
However, for students who have committed working part time, you should always let your employers know what your time limits are. If you are rushing through your assignment or not studying enough for tests because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job. If you are being pressured to work more hours than you can handle, you need to find a new place to work. You also need to make sure that a job won’t prevent you from getting enough rest. I would guarantee that students who show up for school tired are not alert and therefore are not learning all they can.
Task 9
Dad, look at this job vacancy! It’s a part time job for students of Senior High. Hmm, I think it’s worth doing.
What are you talking about, sweet heart. Don’t tell say that you’re interested in taking part time job!
Oh, come on Dad, would you allow me to take a part time job, please.
No, dear. I wouldn’t let you get a job before you finish your study. Your job is to be a student.
But, Dad, I’d be very grateful if you’d just let me take the part time job.
Oh, dear, don’t you realize that you have everything paid for by your parents. You don’t have to earn money.
Yeah, I know Dad. But it’s not about making money! By taking a part time job, I could gain some work experience, moreover, this job is related
to my study. I’m sure it will help me in the future.
Yeah, I understand and I know it’s a good job. But how can you manage your time?
I promise to manage my time well. Schoolwork, including homework and studying for tests, should always be my top priority!
Are you sure you can do that?
I am sure I can. That’s a promise, Dad. So, would you allow me to take this opportunity?
Task 14
Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. If you do decide to take on a part-time job, check out the tips below on how to handle the situation and make the most of your time:
To avoid time conflicts, try to plan your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.
Use your time efficiently You can use 10 minutes waiting in a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading.
Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices You may have to cut down on some things you'd like to do because of your school and work commitments.
Start slowly. Don't commit working a lot of hours immediately.
If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.
Get in touch with your school concellor if you feel you would benefit from discussing your situation with someone who can help.
Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some downtime to be happy.
UNIT V
THE PENALTY SHOULD BE INCREASED.
Task 3
Adib, have you heard the news?
No, I woke up late this morning. What is it about?
“Flying Air” plane overran the runway and caught fire.
What? Another plane crash? Oh my God! Imagine, there have been more than three plane crashes occurred in the past three years! Then
do you know what caused the crash?
The police accused one of the passengers of using cell phone on the flight. It disturbed the navigation system which then made the plane crashed.
Well, a good passenger should have known that using cell phone during the flight is forbidden.
You’re right. And finally that careless passenger admitted using the cell phone on the flight.
Then, how many passengers were hurt / injured?
It was reported that none of the passengers were hurt in the plane crash.
Task 6
After passing above clouds or turbulence, the Captain will turn off the Fasten Seat Belt sign, but usually, the aircraft is still climbing to its cruising altitude. The flight attendants will then invite the passengers to release their seat belts if needed.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Captain has turned off the Fasten Seat Belt sign, and you may now move around the cabin. However, we always recommend to keep your seat belt fastened while you’re seated. You may now turn on your electronic devices such as calculators, CD players and laptop computers. In a few moments, the flight attendants will be passing around the cabin to offer you hot or cold drinks, as well as breakfast/dinner/supper/a light meal/a snack. Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight. Thank you.”
Task 8
Yesterday was my bad day!
What has happened?
A police officer pulled me over on my way home!
Did you commit traffic offenses?
No, I didn’t!
Then, what was the problem?
I didn’t wear a standard helmet! And I was charged a-Rp50.000,00 fine!
Well, it serves you right! I’ve told you a thousand times.
Yeah, I was wrong, but why should the penalty be fine?
Of course, if it’s only a warning, people will simply ignore that! So the penalty is increased.
But, take a look at me now! I’m penniless.
You wouldn’t have said that if you had bought the helmet soon after the policy was issued!
Yeah, you’re right!
So, what are you going to do?
Well, now I fully intend to buy a standard helmet. I’m buying the helmet tomorrow.
Okay. It sounds good.
Task 11
1. I didn’t commit traffic offenses.
2. I didn’t commit traffic offenses.
3. I didn’t commit traffic offenses.
4. I didn’t commit traffic offenses.
Task 13
Choosing a Helmet
Here’s the best way to try on your helmet:
• Hold it by the chin straps.
• Put your thumbs on the inside of the straps, balancing the helmet with your fingertips.
• Spread the sides of the helmet apart slightly and slip it down over your head.
• The helmet should fit snugly and may even feel a bit too tight until it's in place correctly.
Once the helmet is on your head, make a few other checks of its fit, before fastening the chin strap.
With the helmet still on and securely fastened, move it from side to side and up and down with your hands.
Now, with the chin strap still securely fastened and your head straight, try rolling the helmet forward off your head. You shouldn't be able to pull it off. If you can the helmet is too big.
Take off the helmet. Does your head feel sore anywhere. Are there any red spots on your forehead? If so, choose the next larger size or try a different brand of helmet.

I AM VERY HONOURED TO DELIVER THIS SPEECH.
Task 4
“Responsible Practices for Sharing Avian Influenza Viruses”
A Speech by: H.E. Dr. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono
Assalamu’alikum wr. wb. Good Morning,
The Excellencies Ministers,Ambassador,Member of Parliament,and Distinguished
Paticipant.
Ladies and Gentlemen I am very honored to stand before you all to deliver a speech concerning our current public security issues about bird flu.
Let me begin by giving you a very warm welcome along with hope that this important meeting will result with success.
Nothing is more worrying for us today than the spectre of avian flu pandemic. To date, avian influenza has infected 281 people, including 68 Indonesians.
A flu pandemic will continue to spread, infect and kill until it has no more human flesh to live on. Millions of people around the world could die a tragic death from the pandemic. It is quiet clear therefore that the avian flu is everybody’s problem. We have beenalarmedthatthevirushassuddenlycrossedthespeciesbarrierandH5N1human cases have been found in many parts of the world.
It is therefore our duty to work together to ensure that a pandemic does not happen in our time. And it is our responsibility to ensure that all the nations of the world are prepared to prevent and fight it. This is everybody’s business, because if one is at risk, all is at risk.
We are very grateful that you have answered our call to address the important issues concerning the international cooperation on sharing avian flu viruses.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I hope that this Meeting will result in constructive discussions on an issue that is at the heart of our national security.
Finally, by saying“Bismillahirrahmanirrahim”,I now take great pleasure to declare this High-Level Meeting open.
Thank you very much.
Wassalamu’alaikum wr. wb.

Flu. My talk is about Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) and Avian Influenza A (H5N1) Virus.
I Have Divided Our Talk Into two Parts. They Are: Avian Influenza In Birds and Avian
Influenza A (H5N1) Virus.
Let’s have a look at the flow chart on the spread of the bird flu virus to the human.
Let me now turn to the first part, Avian Influenza in birds. Avian influenza is an
infection caused by bird flu viruses.These viruses occur naturally among birds.Wild birds worldwide carry the viruses in their intestines, but usually do not get sick from them.
However, avian influenza can easily kill chickens, ducks, etc. They may be infected with avian influenza virus through direct contact with infected waterfowl or contaminated surfaces.
Ok, let’s move to the next part. “H5N1 virus” is influenza A virus subtype that occurs in birds. It is highly infectious among birds and can be deadly to them. H5N1 virus does not usually infect people, but the infections have occurred in humans. The most cases have resulted from people having direct contact with H5N1 infected poultry or H5N1contaminated surfaces.
The thing to remember is that we must keep our body clean and healthy especially
with birds.
Let me try to conclude the presentation today. Waterfowl can carry H5N1 with
few effects. Yet, when the virus is infected to chickens, it can be deadly. The virus can
pass to human who are in close contact with infected birds.
Let me finish here. I thank you so much for the attention.
Good morning.
UNIT VII
THE MOTION FOR TODAY’S DEBATE IS THAT SMOKING IN PUBLIC PLACES
SHOULD BE BANNED.
Task 6
Moderator: Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to the debate contest
in the hall of SMA 6 Yogyakarta. The motion for today is the house believes
that smoking in public places should be banned. We have two
teams; they are the affirmative to represent the government and the
negative to represent the opposition. From the affirmative team, we
have Miss Reni Virga, Mr Deny, and Miss Yuli Ayu. While in the negative
team, we have Miss Anita, Mr Andi, and Miss Retno.
Ladies and gentlemen, let the debate begin.
Now, I invite the first speaker from the affirmative team. Please welcome,
Miss Virga.
Good morning. Nowadays, many people have realized the negative effects
from smoking cigarette. The current problem is that there is still a
possible danger from smoke since smokers can light cigar everywhere.
Therefore, this situation leads to the need for a better regulation for
smokers. The motion is the house believes that smoking in public
places should be banned. The definition is that people are not allowed
to smoke any cigar in public places such as in the bars, companies,
etc. Our team line is that smoking in public places is very harmful not
only for the smokers themselves but also for the people nearby.
Here’s our team split. As the first speaker, I will tell you the impact of
smoking for people nearby, the second speaker will examine smoking
as a social activity in public places, and the third speaker will sum up the case.
Let me begin my argument. Smoking does not just harm the smoker; it also harms people nearby, or so-called passive smokers. Smokers choose to smoke, but people nearby do not choose to smoke passively. Some countries like South Africa, New Zealand, Italy and the Republic of Ireland has already banned smoking in enclosed public places. Therefore, it is very urgent to ban smoking in public places to protect Indonesian people.
Now, I invite the first speaker from the negative team. Please welcome,
Miss Anita.
The team line for the negative is that smoking in public places will not be
that harmful as long as people are aware to take care of themselves.
Here’s our team split. The first speaker will tell you some adults’ accepted
view of smoking. The second speaker will examine the impact of banning smoking for bars, clubs, etc, and the third will try to conclude the case.
Let me present my rebuttal. Passive smokers do choose to breathe in
other people’s smoke. If they do not want to smoke passively, easily
they do not need to go to places where smoking is allowed.
Some people are quite happy to work in smoky places. In any case, workers should be allowed to choose to work in dangerous conditions. This is accepted for jobs like mining, fishing and the armed forces. There is a risk of an exposed danger from those kinds of works. Individuals decide that they are better doing this work than not having a job at all. A complete ban is not necessary to protect workers anyway; ventilation fans can remove most smoke.
I invite the second speaker from the affirmative team. Please welcome, Mr Deny.
In most countries, safety standards do not allow workers to be exposed
to unnecessary danger, even if they agree. Workers should not be exposed
to other people’s smoke, since they may not have made a free
choice to do so. That’s my rebuttal.
A ban would encourage smokers to smoke less or give up. If smoking was banned in public places, it would no longer be a social activity.
One third of smokers in Scotland said the ban was helping them to cut down. If smoking was a less social activity, fewer people would start smoking. In many countries, governments pay all or some of the cost of treating smoking-related diseases. This means that governments should have a right to discourage smoking.
Moderator: I invite the second speaker from the negative team. Please welcome,Mr. Andy.
It is legal to smoke tobacco, so governments have no right to try to make
people stop. Smokers fund their own health care through the high taxes
they pay on tobacco.
A ban on smoking in public places would drive many bars, pubs and clubs out of business. Smokers would not go to these places. These businesses would also earn less money from selling tobacco. In many places, pubs and Working Men’s Clubs are important social places for communities. They also provide jobs for people with few skills in places with little other work. It is therefore important that they survive. After a ban was introduced in New South Wales (Australia), there is a 9%-drop reported in trade of restaurants.
Moderator: I invite the third speaker from the affirmative team. Please welcome,
Miss Ayu.
It is more important to protect people’s health than to protect businesses.
Pubs and clubs should adapt, for example by trying to earn more money from selling food.
We agree that smokers have the right to smoke, however non-smokers
have the right to breathe in unpolluted fresh air as well. It is also unnecessary for people to work; while in some extent they are exposed
to unnecessary danger like smoke from smokers.
That’s why it is important to soon ban smoking from public.
I invite the third speaker from the negative team. Please welcome, Miss Retno.
If enough people want to go to non-smoking bars, companies will set up non-smoking bars. If there are no non-smoking bars, this suggests that very few people want them.
In fact, some people don’t mind to be or stay with smokers. They also
realize the smoke may harm them, since it is acceptable for people to
work in dangerous condition. It is also unfair to turn working men in
bars into jobless since no smokers will drop by.
Therefore, there is no need to ban smoking in public places.
I invite the reply speaker from the negative team. Please welcome, Miss Retno.
Some people don’t really mind to be in smoky places and breathe in. It
is also an accepted view among adults to smoke although it is harmful
to bodies to some extent. Banning people will turn out some business
and many workers will turn into jobless.
It is ridiculous for the government to claim the right to discourage smoking
for the funds spent on treating smoking-related diseases, since the
smokers also pay for the high taxes from cigarette.
I invite the reply speaker from the affirmative team. Please welcome,Miss Retno.
The proposition that government should ban smoking in public places is making any sense. The reasons are smoking is harmful not only for smokers but also people nearby and workers are also not allowed to be exposed to unnecessary danger such as smoke.
It is far more worthy to use the government’s fund to other sectors than to treat smoking related-diseases. That’s why the house should ban smoking in public places.
Ladies and Gentlemen. It is time for the adjudicators to make a discussion and then, after a while, decide the winner of the debate.

UNIT VIII
LET ME TELL YOU A STORY ABOUT FAIRIES.
Task 3
Virga, are you doing anything tonight?
Yeah, I’m planning to rent some movies and spend the night watching
them.
Well, it sounds good. But, actually I’ve got 2 tickets to watch a play
tonight at 7 p.m. at city hall. I wonder if you’re interested to go with
me.
A play? Tonight? Are you sure? Isn’t it supposed to be on Thursday?
No, it’s playing on Friday, tonight! You must have got the wrong information.
The play is entitled The Fairies’ Cake. It’s adapted from a
fairytale.
Well, it sounds really interesting, but you’re a bit too late. I’ve rented
the movies.
Oow, come on Virga. You can always watch them next time, while
the play is only played tonight! You’re not going to let me down, are
you?
But I have to return the movies on time, unless I’ll be fined.
Wait a minute, when did you rent the movie? Remember that if you
rent more than 5 movies, you’ll get a day extra.
I rented them today, Friday 18th. So …ehm…I have to return them on Sunday
20th .
So?
All right then!
Okay, I’m sure you’d enjoy the play more!
Task 7
Denias, you told me that the play is adapted from a fairy tale. Have
you heard or read the story? The title sounds so interesting
Yeah, I have ever heard the story told by my English teacher.
Won’t you tell me the story, please.
Hey, it’s not going to be interesting if you know the story!
Ow, come on Denias. How can I persuade you to tell me a bit about
the story?
Trust me! It’s not going to be surprising if I let you know the story!
But, in fact, you knew the story before. I think it would be a pity if we
didn’t know the story first.
Virga, I just happened to know the story, and I think you’ll enjoy watching
the play without knowing the story more.
All right, may be you’re right.
Task 8
Two years ago, I was living with my husband and 3 children in the Middle East.
My family was not religious and my own Spiritual belief had only been ignited a few
weeks earlier and I had not yet got comfortable enough with the thoughts and words to share it with my family. My two boys were out playing with two friends within our walled housing compound, when one of their friends was run over and killed by a reversing truck. The horror and pain of this event was and is indescribable. That night, I lay down with each of my boys and stroked them and talked to them while they cried and fell asleep. The smaller of the two, who was aged 7 at the time, turned to me when his sobs had subsided a little and he said, Mom, what are shoulder fairies? I looked at him, surprised and eventually, I asked him if he had seen shoulder fairies (we had never spoken about angels). He told me that he had seen two shoulder fairies on his friends’ shoulders, and watched them float upwards.
He still remembers them today.
Task 10
We had a good time, didn’t we? It was a great play!
You’re right! Anyway, which part of the play did you like most?
In the part when Lucy finally regretted for not making the cake for the
fairies. What do you think the best part of the play was?
Ehm, I think the best part was when Lucy tried to prevent the fairies
from turning her into a tree.
Ow, yeah. She did anything to prevent the spell from happening.
Well, every part of the play was so amusing!
You can say that again!
Task 14
Once upon a time in the middle of at hick forest lived a pretty little girl known as Little
Red Riding Hood.One day,she was sent by her Mummy to visit her ill Grandma.“Take her this basket of cakes,but be very careful.Keep to the path through the wood and on ’teverstop.”
However, the little girl was soon to forget her mother’s wise words. She stopped
to pick strawberry, cease butterfly, and pick a bunch of flower. In the meantime, two
wicked eyes were spying on her from behind a tree.
As she reached the path again, the sound of a gruff voice said: “Where are you
going, my pretty girl, all alone in the woods?”
“I’m taking Grandma some cakes.She live sat the end of the path,”said Little Riding Hood.
When he heard this, the wolf politely asked: “Does Grandma live by herself?”
“Oh, yes,” she replied, “and she never opens the door to strangers!”
“Goodbye.Perhaps we’ll meet again,”replied the wolf.Then he was thinking to himself
“I’ll gobble the grandmother first, and then lie in wait for the grandchild!”
Knock! Knock! The wolf knocked on the door.
“Who’s there?” cried Grandma from her bed.
“It’s me, Little Red Riding Hood. I’ve brought you some cakes because you’re ill,”replied the wolf, trying hard to hide his gruff voice.
Lift the latch and come in,” said Grandma, unaware of anything wrong, till a horrible shadow appeared on the wall. Poor Grandma!
In a single mouthful, the wolf swallowed the old lady.
Soon after, Little Red Riding Hood tapped on the door.
“Grandma, can I come in?” she called.
Now, the wolf had put on the old lady’s shawl and cap and slipped into the bed.
Trying to imitate Grandma’s little voice, he replied: “Open the latch and come in!
Jumping out of bed, the mean wolf swallowed her up too. Then, with a fat full
tummy, he fell asleep.
In the meantime, there was a hunter who had spent a lot of time trying to catch
a large wolf but had lost its tracks. “I must prevent the wolf from terrorizing the neighbourhood.”
Noticing the cottage, he decided to stop and ask for a drink. He could
hear a strange whistling sound coming from inside the cottage. He peered through
the window and saw the large wolf, with a fat full tummy, snoring away in Grandma’s
bed. Without making a sound, the hunter carefully loaded his gun and pointed the
barrel straight at the wolf’s head and BANG! The wolf was dead.
He cut open the wolf’s stomach and to his amazement, out popped Grandma and Little Red Riding Hood, safe and unharmed.
“It’s safe to go home now,” the hunter told Little Red Riding Hood. “The big bad
wolf is dead and gone”. Much later, Little Red Riding Hood’s mother arrived. And when she saw Little Red Riding Hood, safe and sound, she burst into tears of joy. “I finally regretted for ignoring your advice, Mom,” Little Red Riding Hood told her Mommy.
UNIT IX THERE IS DEFINITELY A LOT OF HELPFUL INFORMATION IN THE BOOK.
Task 2
The last Harry Potter book sequel has just been released. Andi and Retno really want
to get the book, but they have not got enough money to buy the book.
I wish I had enough money to buy the book. I can’t wait to find out how
the story ends.
I also expect the same. Well, my savings are almost enough to buy it.
I just need Rp15.000,00 more. I hope I can buy it by the end of this
month.
Well, lucky you. I won’t be able to buy the book till next month.
That’s okay. You can borrow the book from me when I have finished
reading it.
Thank you.
Hey, I got an idea. Why don’t you borrow some money from me to buy
the book? I can lend some to you.
Yeah, that’s a good idea. Next month, I’ll return the money to you. I can’t
wait to complete my collection any longer.
Absolutely. I also intend to complete my collection.
Great! So, why don’t we go to the bookstore now?
Task 4
Retno and Andi are in the bookstore. They meet Virga there. She also wants to buy the book. In fact, they are all Harry Potter’s fans!
Hey, look. It’s Virga, isn’t it?
Yeah, you’re right. Let’s greet her.
Hi, Virga. Want to buy a book too?
Hi, guys. Yes, I’d like to buy the last book of Harry Potter. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
We’re here to buy that, too. I don’t know that you like it.
We must say that I’m number one fan. I really love it.
Wow, it’s great to meet another fan of Harry Potter. We’ll have a lot to discuss.
Sure. By the way, I have every intention of setting up a Harry Potter Fans Club in our school.
Hey, that’s a good idea. There must be a lot of them who are Harry Potter fans, too.
So what’s your idea to start the club?
I will propose the idea to the Students’ Association first.
I do hope that they accept the proposal.
Me too.
Task 5
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the last book of the Harry Potter series
written by the famous novelist J.K.Rowling. The magical world as well as the muggle
world are in danger with the reappearance of Voldermort the Dark Lord and so is Harry. As Dumbledore died earlier, Harry is now to seek his protection by his own. Harry, Hermoine and Ron with the aim of finding and destroying the remaining Horcruxes in order to defeat Voldermort, are making their terrific journey facing numerous challenges. They succeed in destroying all of them but one, which they come to know, is Harry himself. Anyhow, Rowling has ended the story by making Harry succeed in this attempt. We can say Rowling has made this book the super climax of the complete story
series, because it is in this book, Harry and Voldermort are fighting a battle where we the readers are anxious “who will die? who will live?” Harry’s determination, bravery
and his friends’ support in the battle for life is highlighted in this book. Also, Snape’s loyalty to Dumbledore which was in question before, is revealed, providing the curious readers with satisfying facts. Finally in concluding the comment, we can state that the author has given a happy ending to the series, satisfying Harry Potter readers.
UNIT X
CHECK OUT THESE GREAT FRIENDSHIP MOVIES.
Task 3
Well, here we are. We’d better hurry decide what movie to watch.
Okay, here they go: Die Hard 4; Pulau Hantu; Get Married; Beowulf!
Which one do you like, Andy?
Not another horror movie, please! It is totally frightening.
All right, now we eliminate Pulau Hantu! There are still 3 movies left.
Well, I think it’s a good idea to watch action movie! What about Die Hard 4?
Oh no! Definitely not my type! It’s totally horrible!
Come on Retno! It’s surely cool!
What did you say? Cool? Watching people killing and firing gun is cool?
What a cruel movie!
Okay, guys…no need to argue! Let’s make up our mind! Last week we
watched animated movie right? So, I bet you are not in the mood for animated movie anymore. Beowulf is out of the list. So why don’t we watch Get Married?
Good idea!
What? No way! I don’t think I’ll like it. I can’t stand drama romantic
movie.
You’ll like it, Adib! Trust me! I’ve read the movie review in the magazine,
and it says that there’ll be action scenes in the movie. The review also
rates five out of five stars!
Really? I think I’m curious. Shall we buy the ticket now?
Right away, guys!
Task 9
Well, guys, what do you think about Get Married? It’s exactly like what I read in the review.
Yeah, Andy. You’re right about the action scenes. Though it wasn’t really action scene, but the fight was truly great!
I must say that the movie was awesome, but the dialogue was sometimes rude. Moreover the scenes of the fight!
I think the dialogue and the fight were so natural! It exactly the same as what happen in the real life!
Okay, guys. No matter what your opinions about the movie are, you had a good time, didn’t you?
eah!
Task 11
I Am Legend Review
One man and his dog survive in a near future New York where a manmade virus
has killed most of the world’s population and transformed others into ravening monsters.
Will Smith stars in this latest adaptation of Richard Matheson’s classic novel. The
movies have given us some classic visions of a world in which human civilisation has
been destroyed, and a fair share of them are based on, or inspired by, just one novel: Richard Matheson’s‘I Am Legend’.
Although the digital effect shave a few ropey moments,they enable director Francis
Lawrence and his collaborators to create a chilling vision of a Manhattan populated by
only one healthy human.
The post-apocalyptic city is first introduced with a lack of thriving city noises: no cars, no horns, no yelling, just birds.
Task 13
Here is a movie on friendship you can watch with your friends, entitled “Son of
Rambow”. Rambow is the story of Will (Bill Milner), the eldest son of a fatherless Plymouth
Brethren family. Living a sheltered and lonely existence, Will is not allowed to mix
with non-Brethren kids, listen to music or watch TV. That is until he crosses paths with the naughty but lovable boy, Lee Carter (Will Poulter). When Will’s active imagination is exposed to its bombastic action, his world is changed forever. As Will’s imagination goes into overdrive, Son of Rambow features a perfectly-realized 80s period setting. It presents some nostalgic product placement, costumes and make-up, some memory- music and some seriously mobile phones, several scenes of interactive animations.
An ode to friendship, childhood wonderment and the magic of movies, Son of
Rambow is a beautiful,sentimental,heartwarming,wholly original piece of film-making
and a joy to behold.
Friendship is predicted to be the most attention-grabbing theme for movies next
year. Meanwhile, movie reviewers are still speculating about how the audience will
respond to the change of the theme. In the last few years, audience was influenced by horror movies.
UNIT XI
LETS ENJOY DRAMAS, SHORT STORIES, AND NOVELS
Task 3
NARRATOR : This play is All for a Pansa. It is a folktale from India. Long ago in India, there lived a merchant who was not at all happy with his only son. His
mother always thought the best of him, however, and was continually
making excuses for him.
MERCHANT
: He just doesn’t listen. I don’t know how he can be my son.
WIFE
: Don’t say that. He’s our dear child. He just needs some extra attention.
MERCHANT
: You give him way too much attention as it is! I don’t know how we’re
ever going to find a wife for him. Let’s face it, the boy is lazy.
WIFE
: Please, just give him one more chance to prove himself.
MERCHANT
: He’s already had way too many chances!
WIFE
: Just one more, for me. Please? Pretty please?
MERCHANT : All right. But that fool is going to have work for it. He’s going to have
to think. [SON enters.]
SON : Hello, Father and Mother. How are you today?
MERCHANT : Fine, fine. I have something I want you to do. I will give you one last chance to prove yourself.
SON
: What can I do?
MERCHANT
: I am going to give you this pansa. I want you to go to the bazaar. With
this one pansa, buy something to eat, something to drink, something
for the cow to chew on and something to plant in the garden.
SON : What? How do you expect me to do that with only one pansa? That’s
not fair!
MERCHANT and WIFE : (with hands on hips) LOTS OF THINGS IN LIFE AREN’T FAIR!
SON : I’ll show you, father. I can do it! (to audience) Somehow. [MERCHANT,
WIFE and SON exit.] [SON enters with the IRONSMITH’s DAUGHTER
carrying a watermelon.]
SON
: Here’s a watermelon, father. It provides something to eat, something
to drink, something for the cow to chew on, and something to plant in the garden.
MERCHANT : So it does. I’m impressed!
WIFE : I knew you could do it, son.
SON : Actually, it was the ironsmith’s daughter who had the idea.
MERCHANT : And you don’t hog the credit, either. That’s two good moves. Young
lady, how did you think of such a fine solution?
IRONSMITH’S
DAUGHTER : Well, a watermelon takes care of all your conditions.
MERCHANT : Indeed it does. I am proud of you both. Young lady, I would like to
invite your family to my house to celebrate. It seems like our families should get to know one another better.
IRONSMITH’S
DAUGHTER : Thank you. I would like that.
MERCHANT : (to audience) Young people! Just when you’re ready to give up on
them, they surprise you! And to think I didn’t have any idea myself
how to solve that riddle!

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
(Robert Frost)
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

A small mouse crept up to a sleeping lion. The mouse admired the lion’s ears, his long whiskers and his great mane.
“Since he’s sleeping,” thought the mouse, “he’ll never suspect I’m here!”
With that, the little mouse climbed up onto the lion’s tail, ran across its back, slid down its leg and jumped off of its paw. The lion awoke and quickly caught the mouse between its claws.
“Please,” said the mouse, “let me go and I’ll come back and help you someday.”
The lion laughed, “You are so small! How could ever help me?”
The lion laughed so hard he had to hold his belly! The mouse jumped to freedom and ran until she was far, far away.
The next day, two hunters came to the jungle. They went to the lion’s lair. They set a huge rope snare. When the lion came home that night, he stepped into the trap.
He roared! He wept! But he couldn’t pull himself free. The mouse heard the lion’s pitiful roar and came back to help him.
The mouse eyed the trap and noticed the one thick rope that held it together. She began nibbling and nibbling until the rope broke. The lion was able to shake off the other ropes that held him tight. He stood up free again!
The lion turned to the mouse and said, “Dear friend, I was foolish to ridicule you for being small. You helped me by saving my life after all!”
Task 4
Anita is in the school library. Anita complains to the librarian about the conditions of the books that she is going to borrow.
Excuse me, Ma’am. Can you do anything about the cover of this book?
It’s torn.
Oh, sure. I’ll mend it.
I’m afraid that this one also needs mending. I’m afraid we’ll lose some pages if we don’t bind it again.
Yes, I think it should be mended also. But I’m afraid that you won’t be able to borrow this book today. It takes time to bind. What about tomorrow?
Hmm, all right. Thank you, anyway.
You’re welcome. By the way, don’t you want to borrow another book?
I don’t think so. I only need that book at present.
Okay then. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.
Not at all.
UNIT II
IS IT TRUE THAT POVERTY IS CAUSED BY UNEMPLOYMENT?
Task 3
Ladies and gentlemen, on this occasion I would like to explain the definition of poverty and the conditions that may lead to poverty.
Well, poverty is deprivation of those things that determine the quality of life, including food, clothing, shelter and safe drinking water, but also such “intangibles” as the opportunity to learn and to enjoy the respect of fellow citizens. Many different factors have been cited to explain why poverty occurs. I’d like to mention some of the possible factors.
First is erosion. Intensive farming often leads to a vicious cycle of exhaustion of soil fertility and decline of agricultural yields and thence increased poverty.
Second are desertification and overgrazing. Approximately 40% of the world’s agricultural land is seriously degraded.
Third are geographic factors, for example the limited access to fertile land, fresh water, minerals, energy, and other natural resources.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, poverty is terrible thing that should be overcome.
Task 4
Adib and Ayu have just finished doing their homework at Ayu’s house. Now they are watching the news on TV.
Oh God! What a miserable fact!
I can’t believe it. I never thought that there are still many beggars in Indonesia.
Poverty is one of our country’s main problems at present. The unemployment rate is very high. No wonder there are everywhere.
I wonder why the government is slow in solving this problem.
It’s a complex problem. The government has made a lot of efforts to lower the unemployment rate. Jobs are created and many kinds of training are conducted.
How about villagers? Their condition could be worse.
Well, many villagers are very poor, but many people living in the city are also starving.
Yes, I agree with you.
Perhaps the authority should put this poverty problem the priority of the development.
Yes, I think so.
UNIT III
LANGUAGE IS A MEANS OF COMMUNICATION.
Task 2
Extinct Language
An extinct language is a language which no longer has any native speakers, in contrast to a dead language, which is a language which has stopped changing in grammar and vocabulary. Normally this conversion to an extinct language occurs when a language undergoes language death while being directly replaced by a different one. For example, Coptic, which was replaced by Arabic, and many Native American languages, which were replaced by English, French, Spanish, or Portuguese.
Language extinction also occurs when a language undergoes rapid evolution or assimilation until it eventually gives birth to an offspring, i.e., a dissimilar language or family of languages. Such is the case with Latin; an extinct language which serves as the parent of the modern Romance languages. Likewise Sanskrit is the parent of the modern Indian languages and Old English is the parent of Modern English.
In some cases, an extinct language remains in use for scientific, legal, or ecclesiastical functions.
Sanskrit, Latin, Ancient Greek, Old Church Slavonic, Avestan, Coptic, Old Tibetan and Ge’ez are among the many extinct languages used as sacred languages.
Task 3
Andi and Retno meet at the school gate. They have a conversation along the way to the classroom.
Hi, good morning.
Morning Andi. Do you know that I will submit my project today? Do you have a minute to read it?
Sure. Well, … it’s really good. But wait a minute, there is something wrong here. You have no consistency in your English. Do you mean to
use British or American English?
Really? Let me see. Oh, you’re right.
You must be consistent.
Yes, but my knowledge of the differences between American and British English is very limited. In addition, the spelling program in my computer is out of work.
Anyway, to revise your project, you have to decide whether you use British or American English. I propose that you write it in British English.
You’re right friend. I’ll use British English. Would you help me?
Okay.
Andi, could you show me the mistakes here in my project? I’ll make some notes. How about underlining the mistakes?
Fine, let me do it.
Oh it’s many. Can you show me one of the mistakes?
Let me show you one. The word “traveled” here should be with double l if you use British English.
I see. I’ll revise it as soon as possible. Thanks, Andi.
You’re welcome.
UNIT IV
SHOULD STUDENTS BE ALLOWED TO TAKE PART TIME JOBS?
Task 3
Hey Denias, I’ve got something to tell you.
What is it about? Tell me then.
I’ve been thinking to take a part time job, and I found a perfect job for me advertised in the newspaper yesterday.
Are you crazy? You must be joking! Anita, are you sure doing this? Have you considered all the consequences?
Sure I have. Listen to me, Denias. I strongly believe that taking a part time job helps me learn about responsibility, time management, and
improving my interpersonal communication skills. Well, those might be true, but I’m standing in a position that you may not perform your best on both your study and work. You should think about lack of sleep, insufficient time to focus on schoolwork, and conflicts with extracurricular activities.
Get real, Denias. It’s not only me, a student who works part time. Many students succeed maintaining good grade at school while working.
You’re right. However, some other students fail to perform the best on schoolwork.
Yeah, I know, Denias. Just wish me luck.
Sure, I do wish you the best of luck.
My dear students, taking a part time job while studying is surely a great challenge.
However, you must remember that school should always come first. School work, including homework and studying for tests, should always be your top priority. Also consider that taking part time job means that you will have less time for extracurricular activities you choose at school. These are all issues you have to think about when you are considering working part-time.
However, for students who have committed working part time, you should always let your employers know what your time limits are. If you are rushing through your assignment or not studying enough for tests because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job. If you are being pressured to work more hours than you can handle, you need to find a new place to work. You also need to make sure that a job won’t prevent you from getting enough rest. I would guarantee that students who show up for school tired are not alert and therefore are not learning all they can.
Task 9
Dad, look at this job vacancy! It’s a part time job for students of Senior High. Hmm, I think it’s worth doing.
What are you talking about, sweet heart. Don’t tell say that you’re interested in taking part time job!
Oh, come on Dad, would you allow me to take a part time job, please.
No, dear. I wouldn’t let you get a job before you finish your study. Your job is to be a student.
But, Dad, I’d be very grateful if you’d just let me take the part time job.
Oh, dear, don’t you realize that you have everything paid for by your parents. You don’t have to earn money.
Yeah, I know Dad. But it’s not about making money! By taking a part time job, I could gain some work experience, moreover, this job is related
to my study. I’m sure it will help me in the future.
Yeah, I understand and I know it’s a good job. But how can you manage your time?
I promise to manage my time well. Schoolwork, including homework and studying for tests, should always be my top priority!
Are you sure you can do that?
I am sure I can. That’s a promise, Dad. So, would you allow me to take this opportunity?
Task 14
Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. If you do decide to take on a part-time job, check out the tips below on how to handle the situation and make the most of your time:
To avoid time conflicts, try to plan your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.
Use your time efficiently You can use 10 minutes waiting in a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading.
Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices You may have to cut down on some things you'd like to do because of your school and work commitments.
Start slowly. Don't commit working a lot of hours immediately.
If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.
Get in touch with your school concellor if you feel you would benefit from discussing your situation with someone who can help.
Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some downtime to be happy.
UNIT V
THE PENALTY SHOULD BE INCREASED.
Task 3
Adib, have you heard the news?
No, I woke up late this morning. What is it about?
“Flying Air” plane overran the runway and caught fire.
What? Another plane crash? Oh my God! Imagine, there have been more than three plane crashes occurred in the past three years! Then
do you know what caused the crash?
The police accused one of the passengers of using cell phone on the flight. It disturbed the navigation system which then made the plane crashed.
Well, a good passenger should have known that using cell phone during the flight is forbidden.
You’re right. And finally that careless passenger admitted using the cell phone on the flight.
Then, how many passengers were hurt / injured?
It was reported that none of the passengers were hurt in the plane crash.
Task 6
After passing above clouds or turbulence, the Captain will turn off the Fasten Seat Belt sign, but usually, the aircraft is still climbing to its cruising altitude. The flight attendants will then invite the passengers to release their seat belts if needed.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Captain has turned off the Fasten Seat Belt sign, and you may now move around the cabin. However, we always recommend to keep your seat belt fastened while you’re seated. You may now turn on your electronic devices such as calculators, CD players and laptop computers. In a few moments, the flight attendants will be passing around the cabin to offer you hot or cold drinks, as well as breakfast/dinner/supper/a light meal/a snack. Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight. Thank you.”
Task 8
Yesterday was my bad day!
What has happened?
A police officer pulled me over on my way home!
Did you commit traffic offenses?
No, I didn’t!
Then, what was the problem?
I didn’t wear a standard helmet! And I was charged a-Rp50.000,00 fine!
Well, it serves you right! I’ve told you a thousand times.
Yeah, I was wrong, but why should the penalty be fine?
Of course, if it’s only a warning, people will simply ignore that! So the penalty is increased.
But, take a look at me now! I’m penniless.
You wouldn’t have said that if you had bought the helmet soon after the policy was issued!
Yeah, you’re right!
So, what are you going to do?
Well, now I fully intend to buy a standard helmet. I’m buying the helmet tomorrow.
Okay. It sounds good.
Task 11
1. I didn’t commit traffic offenses.
2. I didn’t commit traffic offenses.
3. I didn’t commit traffic offenses.
4. I didn’t commit traffic offenses.
Task 13
Choosing a Helmet
Here’s the best way to try on your helmet:
• Hold it by the chin straps.
• Put your thumbs on the inside of the straps, balancing the helmet with your fingertips.
• Spread the sides of the helmet apart slightly and slip it down over your head.
• The helmet should fit snugly and may even feel a bit too tight until it's in place correctly.
Once the helmet is on your head, make a few other checks of its fit, before fastening the chin strap.
With the helmet still on and securely fastened, move it from side to side and up and down with your hands.
Now, with the chin strap still securely fastened and your head straight, try rolling the helmet forward off your head. You shouldn't be able to pull it off. If you can the helmet is too big.
Take off the helmet. Does your head feel sore anywhere. Are there any red spots on your forehead? If so, choose the next larger size or try a different brand of helmet.
UNIT VI
I AM VERY HONOURED TO DELIVER THIS SPEECH.
Task 4
“Responsible Practices for Sharing Avian Influenza Viruses”
A Speech by: H.E. Dr. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono
Assalamu’alikum wr. wb. Good Morning,
The Excellencies Ministers,Ambassador,Member of Parliament,and Distinguished
Paticipant.
Ladies and Gentlemen I am very honored to stand before you all to deliver a speech concerning our current public security issues about bird flu.
Let me begin by giving you a very warm welcome along with hope that this important meeting will result with success.
Nothing is more worrying for us today than the spectre of avian flu pandemic. To date, avian influenza has infected 281 people, including 68 Indonesians.
A flu pandemic will continue to spread, infect and kill until it has no more human flesh to live on. Millions of people around the world could die a tragic death from the pandemic. It is quiet clear therefore that the avian flu is everybody’s problem. We have beenalarmedthatthevirushassuddenlycrossedthespeciesbarrierandH5N1human cases have been found in many parts of the world.
It is therefore our duty to work together to ensure that a pandemic does not happen in our time. And it is our responsibility to ensure that all the nations of the world are prepared to prevent and fight it. This is everybody’s business, because if one is at risk, all is at risk.
We are very grateful that you have answered our call to address the important issues concerning the international cooperation on sharing avian flu viruses.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I hope that this Meeting will result in constructive discussions on an issue that is at the heart of our national security.
Finally, by saying“Bismillahirrahmanirrahim”,I now take great pleasure to declare this High-Level Meeting open.
Thank you very much.
Wassalamu’alaikum wr. wb.
Task 7
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good morning.
First of all, I’d like to thank the organizer and the audience for inviting me here
today. My name is Virga. I am from Health Department. I’m going to tell you about Bird
Flu. My talk is about Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) and Avian Influenza A (H5N1) Virus.
I Have Divided Our Talk Into two Parts. They Are: Avian Influenza In Birds and Avian
Influenza A (H5N1) Virus.
Let’s have a look at the flow chart on the spread of the bird flu virus to the human.
Let me now turn to the first part, Avian Influenza in birds. Avian influenza is an
infection caused by bird flu viruses.These viruses occur naturally among birds.Wild birds worldwide carry the viruses in their intestines, but usually do not get sick from them.
However, avian influenza can easily kill chickens, ducks, etc. They may be infected with avian influenza virus through direct contact with infected waterfowl or contaminated surfaces.
Ok, let’s move to the next part. “H5N1 virus” is influenza A virus subtype that occurs in birds. It is highly infectious among birds and can be deadly to them. H5N1 virus does not usually infect people, but the infections have occurred in humans. The most cases have resulted from people having direct contact with H5N1 infected poultry or H5N1contaminated surfaces.
The thing to remember is that we must keep our body clean and healthy especially
with birds.
Let me try to conclude the presentation today. Waterfowl can carry H5N1 with
few effects. Yet, when the virus is infected to chickens, it can be deadly. The virus can
pass to human who are in close contact with infected birds.
Let me finish here. I thank you so much for the attention.
Good morning.
UNIT VII
THE MOTION FOR TODAY’S DEBATE IS THAT SMOKING IN PUBLIC PLACES
SHOULD BE BANNED.
Task 6
Moderator: Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to the debate contest
in the hall of SMA 6 Yogyakarta. The motion for today is the house believes
that smoking in public places should be banned. We have two
teams; they are the affirmative to represent the government and the
negative to represent the opposition. From the affirmative team, we
have Miss Reni Virga, Mr Deny, and Miss Yuli Ayu. While in the negative
team, we have Miss Anita, Mr Andi, and Miss Retno.
Ladies and gentlemen, let the debate begin.
Now, I invite the first speaker from the affirmative team. Please welcome,
Miss Virga.
Good morning. Nowadays, many people have realized the negative effects
from smoking cigarette. The current problem is that there is still a
possible danger from smoke since smokers can light cigar everywhere.
Therefore, this situation leads to the need for a better regulation for
smokers. The motion is the house believes that smoking in public
places should be banned. The definition is that people are not allowed
to smoke any cigar in public places such as in the bars, companies,
etc. Our team line is that smoking in public places is very harmful not
only for the smokers themselves but also for the people nearby.
Here’s our team split. As the first speaker, I will tell you the impact of
smoking for people nearby, the second speaker will examine smoking
as a social activity in public places, and the third speaker will sum up the case.
Let me begin my argument. Smoking does not just harm the smoker; it also harms people nearby, or so-called passive smokers. Smokers choose to smoke, but people nearby do not choose to smoke passively. Some countries like South Africa, New Zealand, Italy and the Republic of Ireland has already banned smoking in enclosed public places. Therefore, it is very urgent to ban smoking in public places to protect Indonesian people.
Now, I invite the first speaker from the negative team. Please welcome,
Miss Anita.
The team line for the negative is that smoking in public places will not be
that harmful as long as people are aware to take care of themselves.
Here’s our team split. The first speaker will tell you some adults’ accepted
view of smoking. The second speaker will examine the impact of banning smoking for bars, clubs, etc, and the third will try to conclude the case.
Let me present my rebuttal. Passive smokers do choose to breathe in
other people’s smoke. If they do not want to smoke passively, easily
they do not need to go to places where smoking is allowed.
Some people are quite happy to work in smoky places. In any case, workers should be allowed to choose to work in dangerous conditions. This is accepted for jobs like mining, fishing and the armed forces. There is a risk of an exposed danger from those kinds of works. Individuals decide that they are better doing this work than not having a job at all. A complete ban is not necessary to protect workers anyway; ventilation fans can remove most smoke.
I invite the second speaker from the affirmative team. Please welcome, Mr Deny.
In most countries, safety standards do not allow workers to be exposed
to unnecessary danger, even if they agree. Workers should not be exposed
to other people’s smoke, since they may not have made a free
choice to do so. That’s my rebuttal.
A ban would encourage smokers to smoke less or give up. If smoking was banned in public places, it would no longer be a social activity.
One third of smokers in Scotland said the ban was helping them to cut down. If smoking was a less social activity, fewer people would start smoking. In many countries, governments pay all or some of the cost of treating smoking-related diseases. This means that governments should have a right to discourage smoking.
Moderator: I invite the second speaker from the negative team. Please welcome,Mr. Andy.
It is legal to smoke tobacco, so governments have no right to try to make
people stop. Smokers fund their own health care through the high taxes
they pay on tobacco.
A ban on smoking in public places would drive many bars, pubs and clubs out of business. Smokers would not go to these places. These businesses would also earn less money from selling tobacco. In many places, pubs and Working Men’s Clubs are important social places for communities. They also provide jobs for people with few skills in places with little other work. It is therefore important that they survive. After a ban was introduced in New South Wales (Australia), there is a 9%-drop reported in trade of restaurants.
Moderator: I invite the third speaker from the affirmative team. Please welcome,
Miss Ayu.
It is more important to protect people’s health than to protect businesses.
Pubs and clubs should adapt, for example by trying to earn more money from selling food.
We agree that smokers have the right to smoke, however non-smokers
have the right to breathe in unpolluted fresh air as well. It is also unnecessary for people to work; while in some extent they are exposed
to unnecessary danger like smoke from smokers.
That’s why it is important to soon ban smoking from public.
I invite the third speaker from the negative team. Please welcome, Miss Retno.
If enough people want to go to non-smoking bars, companies will set up non-smoking bars. If there are no non-smoking bars, this suggests that very few people want them.
In fact, some people don’t mind to be or stay with smokers. They also
realize the smoke may harm them, since it is acceptable for people to
work in dangerous condition. It is also unfair to turn working men in
bars into jobless since no smokers will drop by.
Therefore, there is no need to ban smoking in public places.
I invite the reply speaker from the negative team. Please welcome, Miss Retno.
Some people don’t really mind to be in smoky places and breathe in. It
is also an accepted view among adults to smoke although it is harmful
to bodies to some extent. Banning people will turn out some business
and many workers will turn into jobless.
It is ridiculous for the government to claim the right to discourage smoking
for the funds spent on treating smoking-related diseases, since the
smokers also pay for the high taxes from cigarette.
I invite the reply speaker from the affirmative team. Please welcome,Miss Retno.
The proposition that government should ban smoking in public places is making any sense. The reasons are smoking is harmful not only for smokers but also people nearby and workers are also not allowed to be exposed to unnecessary danger such as smoke.
It is far more worthy to use the government’s fund to other sectors than to treat smoking related-diseases. That’s why the house should ban smoking in public places.
Ladies and Gentlemen. It is time for the adjudicators to make a discussion and then, after a while, decide the winner of the debate.

UNIT VIII
LET ME TELL YOU A STORY ABOUT FAIRIES.
Task 3
Virga, are you doing anything tonight?
Yeah, I’m planning to rent some movies and spend the night watching
them.
Well, it sounds good. But, actually I’ve got 2 tickets to watch a play
tonight at 7 p.m. at city hall. I wonder if you’re interested to go with
me.
A play? Tonight? Are you sure? Isn’t it supposed to be on Thursday?
No, it’s playing on Friday, tonight! You must have got the wrong information.
The play is entitled The Fairies’ Cake. It’s adapted from a
fairytale.
Well, it sounds really interesting, but you’re a bit too late. I’ve rented
the movies.
Oow, come on Virga. You can always watch them next time, while
the play is only played tonight! You’re not going to let me down, are
you?
But I have to return the movies on time, unless I’ll be fined.
Wait a minute, when did you rent the movie? Remember that if you
rent more than 5 movies, you’ll get a day extra.
I rented them today, Friday 18th. So …ehm…I have to return them on Sunday
20th .
So?
All right then!
Okay, I’m sure you’d enjoy the play more!
Task 7
Denias, you told me that the play is adapted from a fairy tale. Have
you heard or read the story? The title sounds so interesting
Yeah, I have ever heard the story told by my English teacher.
Won’t you tell me the story, please.
Hey, it’s not going to be interesting if you know the story!
Ow, come on Denias. How can I persuade you to tell me a bit about
the story?
Trust me! It’s not going to be surprising if I let you know the story!
But, in fact, you knew the story before. I think it would be a pity if we
didn’t know the story first.
Virga, I just happened to know the story, and I think you’ll enjoy watching
the play without knowing the story more.
All right, may be you’re right.
Task 8
Two years ago, I was living with my husband and 3 children in the Middle East.
My family was not religious and my own Spiritual belief had only been ignited a few
weeks earlier and I had not yet got comfortable enough with the thoughts and words to share it with my family. My two boys were out playing with two friends within our walled housing compound, when one of their friends was run over and killed by a reversing truck. The horror and pain of this event was and is indescribable. That night, I lay down with each of my boys and stroked them and talked to them while they cried and fell asleep. The smaller of the two, who was aged 7 at the time, turned to me when his sobs had subsided a little and he said, Mom, what are shoulder fairies? I looked at him, surprised and eventually, I asked him if he had seen shoulder fairies (we had never spoken about angels). He told me that he had seen two shoulder fairies on his friends’ shoulders, and watched them float upwards.
He still remembers them today.
Task 10
We had a good time, didn’t we? It was a great play!
You’re right! Anyway, which part of the play did you like most?
In the part when Lucy finally regretted for not making the cake for the
fairies. What do you think the best part of the play was?
Ehm, I think the best part was when Lucy tried to prevent the fairies
from turning her into a tree.
Ow, yeah. She did anything to prevent the spell from happening.
Well, every part of the play was so amusing!
You can say that again!
Task 14
Once upon a time in the middle of at hick forest lived a pretty little girl known as Little
Red Riding Hood.One day,she was sent by her Mummy to visit her ill Grandma.“Take her this basket of cakes,but be very careful.Keep to the path through the wood and on ’teverstop.”
However, the little girl was soon to forget her mother’s wise words. She stopped
to pick strawberry, cease butterfly, and pick a bunch of flower. In the meantime, two
wicked eyes were spying on her from behind a tree.
As she reached the path again, the sound of a gruff voice said: “Where are you
going, my pretty girl, all alone in the woods?”
“I’m taking Grandma some cakes.She live sat the end of the path,”said Little Riding Hood.
When he heard this, the wolf politely asked: “Does Grandma live by herself?”
“Oh, yes,” she replied, “and she never opens the door to strangers!”
“Goodbye.Perhaps we’ll meet again,”replied the wolf.Then he was thinking to himself
“I’ll gobble the grandmother first, and then lie in wait for the grandchild!”
Knock! Knock! The wolf knocked on the door.
“Who’s there?” cried Grandma from her bed.
“It’s me, Little Red Riding Hood. I’ve brought you some cakes because you’re ill,”replied the wolf, trying hard to hide his gruff voice.
Lift the latch and come in,” said Grandma, unaware of anything wrong, till a horrible shadow appeared on the wall. Poor Grandma!
In a single mouthful, the wolf swallowed the old lady.
Soon after, Little Red Riding Hood tapped on the door.
“Grandma, can I come in?” she called.
Now, the wolf had put on the old lady’s shawl and cap and slipped into the bed.
Trying to imitate Grandma’s little voice, he replied: “Open the latch and come in!
Jumping out of bed, the mean wolf swallowed her up too. Then, with a fat full
tummy, he fell asleep.
In the meantime, there was a hunter who had spent a lot of time trying to catch
a large wolf but had lost its tracks. “I must prevent the wolf from terrorizing the neighbourhood.”
Noticing the cottage, he decided to stop and ask for a drink. He could
hear a strange whistling sound coming from inside the cottage. He peered through
the window and saw the large wolf, with a fat full tummy, snoring away in Grandma’s
bed. Without making a sound, the hunter carefully loaded his gun and pointed the
barrel straight at the wolf’s head and BANG! The wolf was dead.
He cut open the wolf’s stomach and to his amazement, out popped Grandma and Little Red Riding Hood, safe and unharmed.
“It’s safe to go home now,” the hunter told Little Red Riding Hood. “The big bad
wolf is dead and gone”. Much later, Little Red Riding Hood’s mother arrived. And when she saw Little Red Riding Hood, safe and sound, she burst into tears of joy. “I finally regretted for ignoring your advice, Mom,” Little Red Riding Hood told her Mommy.
UNIT IX THERE IS DEFINITELY A LOT OF HELPFUL INFORMATION IN THE BOOK.
Task 2
The last Harry Potter book sequel has just been released. Andi and Retno really want
to get the book, but they have not got enough money to buy the book.
I wish I had enough money to buy the book. I can’t wait to find out how
the story ends.
I also expect the same. Well, my savings are almost enough to buy it.
I just need Rp15.000,00 more. I hope I can buy it by the end of this
month.
Well, lucky you. I won’t be able to buy the book till next month.
That’s okay. You can borrow the book from me when I have finished
reading it.
Thank you.
Hey, I got an idea. Why don’t you borrow some money from me to buy
the book? I can lend some to you.
Yeah, that’s a good idea. Next month, I’ll return the money to you. I can’t
wait to complete my collection any longer.
Absolutely. I also intend to complete my collection.
Great! So, why don’t we go to the bookstore now?
Task 4
Retno and Andi are in the bookstore. They meet Virga there. She also wants to buy the book. In fact, they are all Harry Potter’s fans!
Hey, look. It’s Virga, isn’t it?
Yeah, you’re right. Let’s greet her.
Hi, Virga. Want to buy a book too?
Hi, guys. Yes, I’d like to buy the last book of Harry Potter. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
We’re here to buy that, too. I don’t know that you like it.
We must say that I’m number one fan. I really love it.
Wow, it’s great to meet another fan of Harry Potter. We’ll have a lot to discuss.
Sure. By the way, I have every intention of setting up a Harry Potter Fans Club in our school.
Hey, that’s a good idea. There must be a lot of them who are Harry Potter fans, too.
So what’s your idea to start the club?
I will propose the idea to the Students’ Association first.
I do hope that they accept the proposal.
Me too.
Task 5
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the last book of the Harry Potter series
written by the famous novelist J.K.Rowling. The magical world as well as the muggle
world are in danger with the reappearance of Voldermort the Dark Lord and so is Harry. As Dumbledore died earlier, Harry is now to seek his protection by his own. Harry, Hermoine and Ron with the aim of finding and destroying the remaining Horcruxes in order to defeat Voldermort, are making their terrific journey facing numerous challenges. They succeed in destroying all of them but one, which they come to know, is Harry himself. Anyhow, Rowling has ended the story by making Harry succeed in this attempt. We can say Rowling has made this book the super climax of the complete story
series, because it is in this book, Harry and Voldermort are fighting a battle where we the readers are anxious “who will die? who will live?” Harry’s determination, bravery
and his friends’ support in the battle for life is highlighted in this book. Also, Snape’s loyalty to Dumbledore which was in question before, is revealed, providing the curious readers with satisfying facts. Finally in concluding the comment, we can state that the author has given a happy ending to the series, satisfying Harry Potter readers.
UNIT X
CHECK OUT THESE GREAT FRIENDSHIP MOVIES.
Task 3
Well, here we are. We’d better hurry decide what movie to watch.
Okay, here they go: Die Hard 4; Pulau Hantu; Get Married; Beowulf!
Which one do you like, Andy?
Not another horror movie, please! It is totally frightening.
All right, now we eliminate Pulau Hantu! There are still 3 movies left.
Well, I think it’s a good idea to watch action movie! What about Die Hard 4?
Oh no! Definitely not my type! It’s totally horrible!
Come on Retno! It’s surely cool!
What did you say? Cool? Watching people killing and firing gun is cool?
What a cruel movie!
Okay, guys…no need to argue! Let’s make up our mind! Last week we
watched animated movie right? So, I bet you are not in the mood for animated movie anymore. Beowulf is out of the list. So why don’t we watch Get Married?
Good idea!
What? No way! I don’t think I’ll like it. I can’t stand drama romantic
movie.
You’ll like it, Adib! Trust me! I’ve read the movie review in the magazine,
and it says that there’ll be action scenes in the movie. The review also
rates five out of five stars!
Really? I think I’m curious. Shall we buy the ticket now?
Right away, guys!
Task 9
Well, guys, what do you think about Get Married? It’s exactly like what I read in the review.
Yeah, Andy. You’re right about the action scenes. Though it wasn’t really action scene, but the fight was truly great!
I must say that the movie was awesome, but the dialogue was sometimes rude. Moreover the scenes of the fight!
I think the dialogue and the fight were so natural! It exactly the same as what happen in the real life!
Okay, guys. No matter what your opinions about the movie are, you had a good time, didn’t you?
eah!
Task 11
I Am Legend Review
One man and his dog survive in a near future New York where a manmade virus
has killed most of the world’s population and transformed others into ravening monsters.
Will Smith stars in this latest adaptation of Richard Matheson’s classic novel. The
movies have given us some classic visions of a world in which human civilisation has
been destroyed, and a fair share of them are based on, or inspired by, just one novel: Richard Matheson’s‘I Am Legend’.
Although the digital effect shave a few ropey moments,they enable director Francis
Lawrence and his collaborators to create a chilling vision of a Manhattan populated by
only one healthy human.
The post-apocalyptic city is first introduced with a lack of thriving city noises: no cars, no horns, no yelling, just birds.
Task 13
Here is a movie on friendship you can watch with your friends, entitled “Son of
Rambow”. Rambow is the story of Will (Bill Milner), the eldest son of a fatherless Plymouth
Brethren family. Living a sheltered and lonely existence, Will is not allowed to mix
with non-Brethren kids, listen to music or watch TV. That is until he crosses paths with the naughty but lovable boy, Lee Carter (Will Poulter). When Will’s active imagination is exposed to its bombastic action, his world is changed forever. As Will’s imagination goes into overdrive, Son of Rambow features a perfectly-realized 80s period setting. It presents some nostalgic product placement, costumes and make-up, some memory- music and some seriously mobile phones, several scenes of interactive animations.
An ode to friendship, childhood wonderment and the magic of movies, Son of
Rambow is a beautiful,sentimental,heartwarming,wholly original piece of film-making
and a joy to behold.
Friendship is predicted to be the most attention-grabbing theme for movies next
year. Meanwhile, movie reviewers are still speculating about how the audience will
respond to the change of the theme. In the last few years, audience was influenced by horror movies.
UNIT XI
LETS ENJOY DRAMAS, SHORT STORIES, AND NOVELS
Task 3
NARRATOR : This play is All for a Pansa. It is a folktale from India. Long ago in India, there lived a merchant who was not at all happy with his only son. His
mother always thought the best of him, however, and was continually
making excuses for him.
MERCHANT
: He just doesn’t listen. I don’t know how he can be my son.
WIFE
: Don’t say that. He’s our dear child. He just needs some extra attention.
MERCHANT
: You give him way too much attention as it is! I don’t know how we’re
ever going to find a wife for him. Let’s face it, the boy is lazy.
WIFE
: Please, just give him one more chance to prove himself.
MERCHANT
: He’s already had way too many chances!
WIFE
: Just one more, for me. Please? Pretty please?
MERCHANT : All right. But that fool is going to have work for it. He’s going to have
to think. [SON enters.]
SON : Hello, Father and Mother. How are you today?
MERCHANT : Fine, fine. I have something I want you to do. I will give you one last chance to prove yourself.
SON
: What can I do?
MERCHANT
: I am going to give you this pansa. I want you to go to the bazaar. With
this one pansa, buy something to eat, something to drink, something
for the cow to chew on and something to plant in the garden.
SON : What? How do you expect me to do that with only one pansa? That’s
not fair!
MERCHANT and WIFE : (with hands on hips) LOTS OF THINGS IN LIFE AREN’T FAIR!
SON : I’ll show you, father. I can do it! (to audience) Somehow. [MERCHANT,
WIFE and SON exit.] [SON enters with the IRONSMITH’s DAUGHTER
carrying a watermelon.]
SON
: Here’s a watermelon, father. It provides something to eat, something
to drink, something for the cow to chew on, and something to plant in the garden.
MERCHANT : So it does. I’m impressed!
WIFE : I knew you could do it, son.
SON : Actually, it was the ironsmith’s daughter who had the idea.
MERCHANT : And you don’t hog the credit, either. That’s two good moves. Young
lady, how did you think of such a fine solution?
IRONSMITH’S
DAUGHTER : Well, a watermelon takes care of all your conditions.
MERCHANT : Indeed it does. I am proud of you both. Young lady, I would like to
invite your family to my house to celebrate. It seems like our families should get to know one another better.
IRONSMITH’S
DAUGHTER : Thank you. I would like that.
MERCHANT : (to audience) Young people! Just when you’re ready to give up on
them, they surprise you! And to think I didn’t have any idea myself
how to solve that riddle!

My Heart Will Go On
(Celine Dion)
Every night in my dreams Love was when I loved yo.

Task 5
Actors Wear a Special Mask
(Robert devisee)
Actors wear a special mask:
One that’s most revealing.
When they pretend they’re someone else
They hang themselves to dry.
The tears and screams they’ve made their task
Leave nothing for concealing.
Each wound must bleed again, or else
The audience won’t cry.
Task 8
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
(Robert Frost)
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

15. THE FIGHT (present perfect passive and active)
It is a hot day in the Philippines. In an isolated part of the sea, a Dutch guy and a Filipino are on a boat fighting for their lives. Are they fighting with sticks? Are they fighting with knives? Are they using their fists? Are they using their teeth? The Dutch guy’s name is Herman. The Filipino guy’s name is Marvin. The two of them fight like wild animals. A big ugly guy with a beard attacks Herman. Herman punches him. Have you ever punched anybody? Have you ever been punched?
Below deck Herman finds four prisoners. They are his girlfriend, a Japanese girl called Naoko, and three Filipino divers called Gill, Melvin and Raymond. They are locked up. Have you ever been locked up? Have you ever locked anybody up?
Under the water, some divers are looking for Yamashita’s gold. The divers come up. Herman and Marvin tie them up. They tie everybody up. Do they tie them up with rope or chains?

The old soldier talks about the search for Yamashita’s treasure. He has seen many boats. How many has he seen? Recently he has seen a big boat with divers. The divers have brought up part of the treasure. The crew of the same boat has stolen Mr. Silberstein’s boat and kidnapped Naoko and the other three crew members. Is Uncle Taro worried? Would you be worried if you were him?
The five castaways make a plan. That night they sleep in Kenzaburo’s house. Is it a large house? Is it on stilts? Does the roof leak? Are there mosquitoes? Is there a fireplace in the house? How many rooms are there? What is the house made of?
In the morning the five men eat coconuts and bananas and mangoes. Is eating fruit healthy? Is it difficult to get enough food on the island? Is Kenzaburo in good health? After breakfast, Herman and Marvin build a raft. Kenzaburo has tools. In the afternoon the treasure hunters boat returns to the site of the shipwreck. The boat anchors and some divers go down and begin to bring up the treasure.
Herman and Marvin float out towards the boat on the raft. It takes two hours to reach it. The treasure hunters think Herman and Marvin are dead. Late in the afternoon Herman and Marvin sneak onto the boat. Suddenly somebody sees them. There is a struggle.
Herman fights like a tiger. Marvin fights like a wild monkey.
