Have you ever visited Singapore? Well, if you haven’t, let me tell you about Singapore. Singapore is

Uhm … Singapore is a beautiful city with lots of parks and open spaces. It is also a very clean city.
You know, the business district is very modern, with lots of tall and new buildings.

Now, let me tell you about the old section of the city. In Chinatown there are rows of old shop houses.
The government buildings in Singapore are very unique and antique. They date from the British
colonial days.

Shopping! Wow, this is the part that I like very much! Singapore is famous for its many good
shopping centres. Most of the goods are duty free. It’s a heaven for shoppers!

What about food? Uhmm … yummy ... yummy. It’s delicious. Singapore’s restaurants provide
Chinese, Indian, Malay and European food, and the prices are quite reasonable. I bet you’ll like it.

Well, since Singapore lies near the equatorial line, so of course Singapore has a tropical climate, with
nice weather in both dry season and rainy seasons.

19. Listen to the recording and complete this text.

London

Do you know the capital of England? Right. London is the capital of the United Kingdom.

Look at the map carefully. Here is London. Can you see it? It is situated in southeastern England
along the Thames River. London is a well-known city with a population of about 7 millions. It is the
largest city in Europe. Although it is no longer included among the world’s most populous cities,
London is still one of the world’s major financial and cultural capitals.

Are you still with me? OK, thank you. Let’s continue. London’s climate is generally mild and damp
although it can be erratic. London is one of the driest parts of Britain. However, the weather is
generally cloudy, and sometimes it rains on half the days of the year. With the mean temperature in
July of about 18° C (about 64° F), London has warmer summers than most of the island. It’s frosty
during winters in London. Fog frequently develops in winter.

Now let me tell you about the city. London’s metropolitan area extends for more than 30 miles. Most
of Central London is located north of the Thames. It contains the City of London, the City of
Westminster, and districts in the West End. The City of London is the heart of the city. The City of
Westminster is the seat of the national government.

Bye-bye Transjakarta

Well, listen to my experience. One day, my friends and I decided to take a bus to Blok M. After
buying the tickets, we had to wait at the bus shelter. We waited and waited, but the bus didn’t show
up. My friends surely had more patience and discipline than I did.

At the head of two neat lines, people stood right before the sliding doors, ready to get on the bus as
soon as it arrived. And what did I do? I sat on one of the benches in the shelter, absorbed in reading a
newspaper. More and more passengers came and stood behind my buddies, but the bus was nowhere
to be seen. I was so engrossed in the newspaper that I didn’t pay attention to my surroundings.

The bus came and the queuing passengers had begun entering the vehicle. As my friends and the other
passengers jostled each other to get on the bus, my friends kept shouting my name. I made a dash for
the bus, but it was too late. The bus had closed its doors. I could only smile meekly and my friends
were still shouting with sympathetic faces looking at me from inside the bus.

I had to catch the next bus alone to get to Blok M. What a journey!

4. Listen to a student telling how she felt during the Independence Day Ceremony. Decide
whether the statements are True (T) or False (F).

On the occasion of the 68th anniversary of the Indonesian Independence, a flag-hoisting ceremony
was held in our school last Monday. At 7 a.m. we gathered at the school yard. Some students who
were assigned to conduct the ceremony wore special uniforms. They looked nice and neat. The leader
of the ceremony told the participants to stand straight and keep silent. He, then, reported to the school
principal as the inspector of the ceremony that the ceremony would begin soon. A group of students
raised the flag. All the participants stood in a respectable manner while a group of choir sang the
National Anthem “Indonesia Raya”. This was followed by a moment of silence to commemorate the
heroes that had died to fight the freedom of the country. Pancasila as the basic principle of our country
was recited and all the participants had to repeat after. Next, the principal read the preamble of the
1945 constitution. The flag-hoisting was followed by the reading of the message of the President by
the school principal and after that we sang some patriotic songs. During this occasion, the principal
gave away the prizes to the winners who participated in the competitions organized by the school. The
flag-hoisting ceremony always reminded me of the patriotic spirit that gripped all of us as we
celebrate it. Every moment makes me feel proud of being an Indonesian.

Man : He fought for the rights of his people in South Africa.

Woman : Freedom fighter? Did you mean he got involved in the war against the colonialism?

wanted to free South African without violence.

Woman : That’s awesome.

Man : Yes, and because of this he was put in prison for over 26 years. Eventually his fight was
successful. He becomes the first native president of South Africa.

Woman : Tell me much about him.

Man : Why don’t you search his biography on www.wikipedia.org?

Woman : Oh, that’s a great idea. Let’s go to the library.

Supratman was born on 9th March 1903. When he was seven years old, his father sent him to Budi
Utomo elementary school, where he proved to be the brightest student. In 1912, his mother died. Two
years later he joined his sister in Ujung Pandang. His sister added Wage Rudolf to his name, so it
became Wage Rudolf Supratman. She did this to enable her to send him to the Dutch Elementary
School. Supratman graduated in 1920 and became a teacher. In 1923, he resigned as a teacher and
went to Bandung and worked as a journalist.

Supratman was also a musician, who composed Indonesia Raya, The Indonesia’s National Anthem.
The anthem was played for the first time by the composer himself at the 2nd Indonesian Youth
Congress in Jakarta in 1928. The birth of Indonesia Raya was closely related to the awakening of

Excerpt 2

There lived a Russian king who had three sons. All of them had grown to manhood. One day, the king
called them and told them to marry the maidens who brought their arrows back. Those whose arrow
was not returned would stay unwed. The eldest son married to a king’s daughter and the middle son
married to a general's daughter. But youngest prince's arrow fell into a marsh and was brought back
by a frog holding it between her teeth. Prince Ivan, the youngest prince, was downcast and cried. All
three couples were wed together according to the custom—the frog being held aloft on a platter.

Excerpt 3

Once in the land of Egypt, a king had seven queens who lived luxuriously in a splendid palace
attended by hundreds of female slaves, and who fed to their hearts’ content on sweetmeats and
confectionery. One day the king went hunting and met a beautiful woman in the forest. The king was
bewitched and pleaded her to become his bride. The woman, who was truly a witch, would marry the
king if he gave the eyes of his seven queens. The king had the eyes of his seven Queens taken out and
three poor blind creatures taken into a dungeon. Not very soon after, a baby was born to the youngest
of the Queens. When he was quite a big lad, he one day took his bow and arrow, and went out to seek
for the witch.

stories.

a. Well, every morning, the same thing occurred and he soon became rich by selling its eggs. As
he grew rich, he grew greedy and thought to get at once all the eggs the goose could give. He killed
the goose and opened it only to find nothing.

b. As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath.
Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also.

c. However, the bear was so greedy and evil that he didn’t allow the rabbit to get any of the
meat. The poor rabbit could not even taste the blood from the butchering, as the bear would throw
earth on the blood and dry it up. The poor rabbit would have to go home hungry after his hard day’s
work.

d. But the harder he blew the closer the traveller wrapped his cloak around him, till at last the
wind had to give up in despair. Then, the sun came out and shone in all his glory upon the traveller,
who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on.

e. But shortly after, a wolf actually did come out from the forest and began to worry the sheep.
The boy cried out, “Wolf! Wolf!” so much louder than before. But this time the villagers, who had
been fooled twice before, thought the boy was again deceiving them. Consequently, nobody came to
help him.
