Use of
Formalin and Other Additives in Foods
The use of formalin and other dangerous
preservatives in food has been serious problem for several reasons.
Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but
it is for biological specimens and experiments. Formalin in Biology is a 10%
solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant or to
preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservatives. Of
course when it is used for food preservative, it will be very dangerous to
human’s body.
The second reason is that there is no tight
control from the government. This condition makes the people’s health is really
in a threat. When the control is weak and the use formalin was spread wide all
over the Indonesian regions, and these days it has really happened, the
citizen's bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food
traders still sell their products which contain formalin and dangerous
preservatives. Can you imagine that our digestive system absorbs the substance
that should be for the human and animal corpses?
Considering the reasons, we can make a conclusion that the use of formalin and other preservatives is really a serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.

I personally think that
reading is a very important activity in our life. Why do I say so?
Firstly, by reading we can get a lot of knowledge about many things in the
world such as Science, technology. Sports, arts, culture, etc written in either
books, magazine, newspaper, etc.
Secondly, by reading we
can get a lot of news and information about something happening in any parts of
the world which can we see directly.
Another reason, reading
can give us pleasure too. When we are tired, we read books, newspaper or
magazine on the entertainment coloumn such as comedy, short story, quiz, etc.
To make us relaxed.
The last, reading can
also take us to other parts of the world. By reading a book about Irian
Jaya we may feel we’re really sitting in the jungles not at home in our
rooms.
From the facts above,
it’s obvious that everyone needs to read to get knowledge, information and also
entertainment. Or in summary we can say reading is truly important in our

Learning English
Learning English through
music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix pleasure with learning when
you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to your English progress.
Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why we use songs in
language learning.
Firstly, “the song stuck
in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the last song we heard
after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both enjoyable and
sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the idea that
songs work on our short-and-long term memory.
Secondly, songs in
general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of repetition,
which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that they are
effective makes them many times more motivating than other text. Although
usually simple, some songs can be quite complex syntactically, lexically and
poetically, and can be analyzed in the same way as any other literary
sample.
Furthermore, song can be
appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most pop songs and probably
many other types don’t have precise people, place or time reference.
In addition, songs are
relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage harmony within oneself
and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools in sustaining
culture, religion, patriotism and yeas, even revolution.
Last but not least,
there are many learning activities we can do with songs such as studying
grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension, translating songs,
learning vocabulary, spelling and culture.
From the elaboration
above, it can be concluded that learning through music and songs, learning
English can be enjoyable and fun.

Integrated Pest
Management
There is no best way to
deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly used may cause
many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most
effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals
in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the soil
which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can
gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and stronger
ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides
affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects the
ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of
ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen and
applied carefully so that they don't affect the ecological balance and
environment.
Therefore, integrated
pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in
agriculture and livestock.
21. Which of the following is not directly affected by
pesticides used?
A. Plants B. Ecology C.
Animals. D. Environment. E. Human Beings

C.

D.

E.

23. One of the disadvantages of using chemical
pesticides is …
A.

C.

E.
