sister, Liza Minnelli, introduced us
in 1991. We instantly hit it off.
Event(s)
Kevyn did my make-up for photo
shoots with my sister and Lot the
1993 Tony Awards. But 1 will
always remember the day we spent
together in my bathroom. Kevyn.
taught me how to dO my own ak-
1.Tp. He told me to stop plucking
my eyebrows every fIve minutes
and, as we were finishing, he made
a list of what he used. I asked him
to come to Bloomingdale’s with me,
fully expecting him to say “No,” but
he said he’d love to and off we
went. By 6.30 pm., we had shopped
our brains out and laughed so much
that we were exhausted. I got into a
cab and kissed him good-bye.
Over the years, I’d also buy Allure
every month to read his column. His
work has truly made make-up as
important as fashion.

Picasso was one of the most outstanding and important

Picasso(was born in 1881 in Malaga, Spain as the son of
an art teacher. He studied painting with his father and also
in Madrid.
From about 1895 to 1901 he painted realistic works in a
traditional style. Then he entered what was called the Blue
Period. During this time he only used shades of blue in his
paintings to show poverty he saw in Barcelona.
After 1907, he entered into the style of cubism. Among his
well-known cubist paintings are “The Three Musicians”
and “The man with a guitar” which depict the destruction
of a Spanish town.
Picasso died France in 1973.

ARRANGING TIME
Traveling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier.
We live in a global village, but how well do we know and
understand each other? Here is a simple test.
Imagine you have arranged a meeting at four o’clock. What
time should you expect your foreign business colleagues to
arrive? If they are Germans, they will be bang on time. If
they are American, they’ll probably 15 minutes earlier. If
they are British, they’ll be 15 minutes late, and you should
allow up to an hour for the Italians!
When the European Community began to increase in size,
several guidebooks appeared giving advice on international
etiquette. At first many people thought this was a joke,
especially the British, who seemed to assume that the
widespread understanding of their language meant a
corresponding understanding of English customs.

B.ENJOY THIS • Read the following tall tale. Then,
answer the questions.
Once there was an Indian who had a pet fish named
Tommy, which he kept in a barrel.
But the fish got pretty big and the Indian had to change
the water a good deal to keep him alive. He was too lazy to
do that, so he thought he would teach the fish to live out of
water.
He began by taking Tommy out of the barrel for a few
minutes at a time, pretty often, and then he took him out
more often and kept him out longer. After sometime
Tommy could stay out a good while if he was in some wet
grass.
Then the Indian found he could leave him in the wet
grass all night and pretty soon that fish could live in the
shade whether the grass was wet or not. By that time he
had got pretty tame, too and he used to fhilow the Indian
around a good deal. When the Indian went out to dig
worms to eat, Tommy went along too and got some for
himself. The Indian thought of everything for that fish,
until Tommy didn’t need any water at all. He could go
anywhere down a dusty road and stay all day out in the hot
sun.
So, people wanted to buy Tommy, but the Indian said
he wouldn’t sell a fish like that for any amount of money.
You’d see him coming to town with Tommy following
along the road behind, just like a dog, only of course he
traveled a good deal like a snake, and almost as fast.
Well, it was really sad the way that Indian lost his fish
and it was unusual, too. He went to town one day with
Tommy coming along
p.42
behind, as usual. There was a bridge in the road and the
Indian came to it. He saw there was a hole in it, but he
went over it without thinking. A little later he looked
around for Tommy but he couldn’t find him. He went back
away and called, but he still couldn’t see any sign of his
pet.
Finally he came to the bridge and saw the hole, and he
thought right away that maybe his fish had fallen in there.
So he went to the hole and looked down, and sure enough,
there was Tommy, floating on the water, bottom-side up.
He’d fallen through that hole into the river and drowned.

A.THINK ABOUT IT • Discuss these questions.

B. FIRST CHALLENGE • Read this myth. Then
answer the questions.
Well, my friends, I have a very interesting story. The
story is about ‘Batara Kala’, a myth from Tava. Have you
heard about it? No? Never? Please be quiet and listen
careftifly.
You know, Batara Kala was an evil giant. He always
killed people, especially children. His hair was made from
fire. Everybody was frightened of him.
One day, Batara Guru, the chief god invited all the gods
and goddesses to drink sacred water in Paradise. The water
was called Tirta Amertasari. It means “The Water of
Immortality”. You know why? Because anyone who drinks
this water, he or she will live forever. He
or she will never die.
You know what? Batara Kala was not invited because
he was evil. Then, secretly, he flew into Paradise and stole
some of the water. Batara Surya, the god of Sun and Batari
Chandra, the goddess of Moon knew what he did.
Immediately both of them reported to Batara Vishnu, the
keeper god of the universe.
Then Batara Vishnu took his fatal weapon, Cakra and
shot it at Batara Kala.
p.45
While Batara Kala was drinking the water, the Cakra
hit him on the neck. Batara Kala’s body was separated
from the head at once. But, since he had drunk the sacred
water, his head was alive. He was very furious with Batara
Surya and Batari Chandra and swore to take revenge on
them.
He chased Batara Surya and Batari Chandra, caught
them both and swallowed them up.
Fortunately, Batara Surya and Batari Chandra could
escape from Batara Kala’s throat because he no longer had
a body. So, Batari Chandra and Batara Surya were safe
everytime Batara Kala swallowed them up.
That’s why when there is a solar eclipse or lunar
eclipse, Javanese people believe that Baara Kala is
swallowing Batara Surya or Batara Chandra. It’s
interesting, isn’t it?

The Story of Paul Bunyan
[……]
Well, babe got so big that when he and paul
Bunyan walked around Minnesota, they
formed ten thousand lakes with their
footprints.
Minnesota has been known ever since as the
‘Land of Ten Thousand
Lakes’.
[……]
When Paul Bunyan grew up, he decided to
become a lumberjack, because he could cut an
entire forest with one swing of his axe. The
other lumberjacks were glad for his help,
since he made their work so much easier.
They did have to feed him an awful lot,
though. Paul Bunyan loved to eat, especially
pancakes. One day, a woman came into the
logging camp kitchen and asked the cook.
“Why are these logs over there piled up to the
ceiling?”
“Those aren’t logs”, the cook replied. “ Those
are the sausages for Paul Bunyan.”
[……]
Paul Bunyan was the biggest baby ever born
to the world! He was too big to fit inside the
house, so his father built him a cradle to put in
the water. As Baby Paul slept in the water
cradle, his father followed alongside it in a
boat so he could keep an eye on him. When
baby Paul began to snore, his father thought
the noise was coming from an approaching
thunderstorm!
[……]
One day, during a heavy snowstorm, Paul
Bunyan was out walking and bumped into a
mountain. When he looked down, he saw two
blue ears sticking out of the snow. He yanked
on the ears and pulled up a baby blue ox. He
decided to keep the ox and took it home with
him. The next day, the snow had melted and
Paul Bunyan saw the baby ox had eaten three
entire fields of hay! This was going to be one
big ox, for sure. Paul Bunyan called the ox
“Babe” and both of them became best friends.

Getting Started
A.ACTIVE READING • Read the following story. Then
answer the questions.
THUMBELINA
There was once a woman who wanted a small child but
didn’t know where to get one. So she went to a witch for
help.
“A little child?” said the witch, “That’s easy. Here’s a
magic seed. Plant it in a flower pot and see what happens!”
The woman thanked the witch, paid her with a piece of
silver, and went home to plant the magic seed. As soon as
it touched the soil, the seed grew into a tulip, whose flower
opened with a pop. In the middle of the flower sat a tiny
girl.
“Why, the pretty little thing is hardly as big as my
thumb!” cried the woman. “I am going to call her
Thumbelina.”
The woman made Thumbelina a bed from a walnut
shell. Instead of going out, Thumbelina played on the
kitchen table. Her favorite game was sailing across a bowl
of water in a boat made from a tulip leaf. As she sailed, she
sang in a high, sweet voice.
One night, an old toad got in through an open window
and hopped down onto the kitchen table. “Just the wife for
my son!” the toad declared when it saw Thumbelina
sleeping in her tiny bed. The toad picked up the walnut
shell and hopped out through the window into the garden.
At the bottom of the garden, there was a stream with
muddy banks, and that was where the old toad lived with
her son. He was even damper and uglier than his mother.
When he saw the pretty little girl asleep in the walnut shell,
all he could say was, “Ribbik! Ribbik!”. “Not so loud!”
whispered the old toad. “If you wake her up, she’ll run
away. We’ll put her on a water-lily leaf in the middle of the
stream so she won’t be able to escape. Then we can clear
out the best room for the wedding.”
In the morning, when she woke up, Thumbelina was
startled to find herself on a big green leaf in the middle of a
stream.

Cultural Awareness
Read the text below. Then, answer the questions.
TEA TIME
All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not
mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries,
people have very different ideas about drinking tea. In
China, for example, tea is always served when people get
together. The Chinese drink it at any time of day, at home,
or in a tea house. They prefer their tea plain, with nothing
else in it.
Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a
special way of serving tea, called a tea ceremony. There is
even a special room for it in Japanese homes. Another tea
drinking country is England. In England the late afternoon
is ‘tea time’. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The
English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with
cream and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and little
sandwiches at tea time.
In the United States people drink tea mostly for
breakfast or after meals. Americans usually have tea in
teapots. In the summer, many Americans drink cold tea -
called ‘iced tea’. They sometimes drink iced tea from cans,
like soda.

Get It Right
Expressing thanks
A.THINK ABOUT IT • Read the following information.
Showing gratitude is a common thing to do in English
speaking countries. People often show gratitude when they
accept/refuse an offer/invitation, and when they receive
compliments/congratulations. However, showing gratitude
has a different form for each case. In British English, for
example, it is just not appropriate to say ‘You’re welcome’
as the response of thanks for the following situation:
Bus conductor : One pound fifteen.
Passenger : (gives L 1.15)
Bus conductor : Thank you.
Passenger : Thank you.
It is also important to use polite expressions in polite
situations. When refusing an invitation, for instance, you
don’t simply say ‘No thank you’. Pay attention to the
example of polite refusal on the next page.
p.93
A : I was wondering, uh, if there’s a good movie in
the theater. Would you like to see it with mc tomorrow?
B : Thanks a lot, but I’m afraid I’m not free tomorrow

A : Good-bye.
1. Where are they? Are they at the same place?
3. How do they get in touch?

I Did Not Mean to Hurt You
“Hello . . “Yustita!” Lucy’s voice surprised me. Why?
She never comes so early like this morning. She usually
comes a few minutes before the bell rings.
“Hi! What’s wrong? You don’t look yourself today.
Why did you come so early today?”
“My father gave me a lift. By the way have you heard
anything about Elsa?”
“What is the matter with her?” I asked.
“Haven’t you heard? Everyone at school has:’ she
replied.
“What is it? Would you tell me, please?” I begged her.
“OK. She is falling in love with Iwan. Don’t you
know? She is your classmate, isn’t she?”
“You are kidding! I can’t believe it is true. As far as I
know, she is a calm girl. But, . how about Iwan’s
response?” I asked her.
“Wow .... I don’t know. Please ask him yourself. Iwan
and you belong to the same volleyball club, don’t you? But
I think he pays no special attention to her. Since . . . he
loves somebody else,” she replied.
“Who is she?” I asked.
‘Well .... You’d better ask him yourself. The bell will
be ringing soon,” she answered hurriedly and ran to her
classroom.
Lucy is not my classmate. She is in the IPA (science)
department while I am in the language department.
The break finally ended. One by one, my friends
entered the classroom. It was very noisy in the classroom.
The teacher was absent and there was no special
assignment.
“Tita .... Are you going to play volleyball this
afternoon?” Elsa asked.
“Yes, what can I do for you?”
“T want to give this letter to Twan. Will you help me
give it to him?” Elsa begged me. “Yes, I will. Believe me. I
am as good as Mr. Postman:’ I said with a smile.
“Thanks a lot for your help.”
“No problem.”
In the afternoon, I met Iwan in the volleyball court. He
was smiling when I approached him. “Iwan ....“, I called.
“Yes, what is wrong?” he came to me with a smile.
“Here is a letter for you,” I said while handing it to
him.
“Who is it from?” Iwan requested. “Please read it
yourself;” I said.
‘Well, is it from your close friend?” “Right,” I replied
shortly.
Iwan was smiling when he looked at me. I was a bit
annoyed by his smile.
A week had passed when Elsa came to me and asked
about her letter.
“How about the letter?” I wonder why he hasn’t
answered it yet.”
“I’m afraid I don’t know. I haven’t met him for a week.
But 1 promise that I will ask about it as soon as I meet
him.”
“Don’t forget it, Tita”.
One evening Iwan dropped by my house to return a
book which he borrowed a few days before.
p.96
“Iwan, have you answered Elsa’s letter I gave you a
few days ago?”
“Sorry, ... I have had no timc to write it. I’d rather
say .... 1 don’t love her, but I do love someone else,” he
replied.
“May 1 know who?”
‘Well, you will know everything soon. Sorry I must be
off now. Give my best regards to your parents. See you
tomorrow.”
“Yes, I will. See you”.
When I was studying that evening, I found a letter in
the book which Iwan returned. I was really very surprised
when I read it
OhmyGod! What should I do? Do I likc him? Maybe,
but how about Elsa? She is my classmate and my good
friend. It hurts to know this. Oh, no .... I will not do it. And
tomorrow I will tell him. I must find time to say it.
Iwan. . . I don’t mean to hurt you. I can’t love you.
Please don’t hate me. Let’s be friends till the end of time,
but don’t love me.
I can’t do that, you know. Oh, God, help me explain it
to him. I really don’t know what I will do if I meet Elsa
tomorrow.
Dear Yusrita Indriani,
Thanks a lot of your kindness. But I am very sorry to
let you know that I do not love your friend.
If you really want to know the girl who I like best, her
name is YUSTITA INDRIANI, the one who is reading this
letter now.
Yes, Tita, I do love you. I have wanted to say it to you
directly, but you never gave me a chance to do so.
Well, I’m waiting for your answer, dear.
With love,
Iwan Pradita

Get It Right
1. Creating an orientation of a story
A. THINK ABOUT IT • Read and learn.
The same topic can be introduced by different methods.
Read this example carefully
Topic : Finding the answer.
1. Describing the setting
He looked at the girl with the bright eyes, sharp nose
and beautiful long hair standing and delivering a speech
on the wooden podium. This was the first time he had
ever heard such a speech. No, it wasn’t speech at all. It
sounded like a criticism of someone. And he was sure
that it was of him. He should try to find the reason why
that new student hated him so much.
2. Using direct speech
We just need active members who are willing to
support this organization. So active members, - yes and
passive members - no. Don’t come here if you have no
idea about this organization.’ She had repeated these
two parts twice and snuck a glance at Tom when she
finished her sentences.
p.104
‘Do you think something’s wrong with Lina’s speech?’
A friend beside him asked.
‘She shouldn’t have said like that. It’s a meeting and
she doesn’t know a lot about us.’ Tom heard the voice
of his friend. ‘I’ve got to find out the reason why she
hates me so much.’ He stood up and left the room.
3. Stating your own belief, opinion or feelings
I never thought that I would do something bad or
disturb a woman especially the one I didn’t know very
well. That’s why I felt very confused when I knew that
someone I didn’t know well said openly in front of my
friends and I that she disliked me a lot. Frankly, I
should say that she was a nice girl She didn’t mention
my name but I was sure that it was me as she glanced at
me many times while speaking. I thought I had to meet
and ask her why.
4. Creating a climax
He turned pale and felt very ashamed. His legs became
weak. He would have hit that girl But she was a girl so
he could do nothing. She was nice and beautiful, he
agreed. But she hated me without a definite reason,
100% he disagreed. He should call her soon after the
meeting so she could explain everything clearly or he
would get her out of the organization.
5. Recalling an incident or event
First he let her talk as she wanted. He didn’t know Lina
very weli and it was the first meeting with her in the
organization. She didn’t mention his name but she
snuck glances many times at him whenever she
expressed her opinions. Then his friend sat next to him
and reminded him about Lina’s speech. She was
criticizing someone and it was him. Finally he couldn’t
bear anymore. He walked out the room after giving a
little smile to her. He would find the answer later.
6. Using a question
How would you feel if someone you didn’t know very
well hated you so much? What would you do if that one
was brave enough to express her/his feelings in a
meeting where many of your friends including you
were there? I-low would you feel? What would you do
to that person?
p.105
TRY THIS • Work in groups of three or four and
develop the following topics using different methods.
Topics:
• Broken heart
• The first love
• Trapped in a toilet
2.Creating an ending of a story
Let’s learn how to create a creative ending of a short story.
Match the resolution of a short story in the left column with
a suitable phrase in the right column.
ResolutionKinds of story

a. ‘Oh my, God! What must I
do? Do I like him? Maybe,
but how about Elsa? She is
my classmate and she is my
good friend. It hurts to know
it. Oh, no.... I will not do it.
And tomorrow I will tell him.
must find time to say this.
Iwan. . . .1 don’t mean to hurt
you. I can’t love you. Please
don’t hate me. Let’s be
friends till the end of time,
but don’t love me. I can’t do
that, you know. Oh, God, help
me explain it to him. I really
don’t know what I will do if I
meet Elsa tomorrow’
A happy ending
b. Carefully, I tore the envelope
open and took a short paper
out. Thanks a lot for your
kindness. But I am very sorry
to let you know that I love
somebody else.
She is reading the letter now.
I ran and found a small mirror
A sad ending
on my table. I studied my
face. Well, I looked a bit
beautiful. I will wake up early
and tell iwan that I also had
the same feeling.
c. I was reading ‘The Prisoner
of Azkaban’ when an
envelope dropped out. It was
a pink envelope and a familiar
letter. I tried hard to hide my
feelings but I couldn’t stand it
anymore. “I love a cute girL
Her name is Tita. Please,
answer me soon”. ‘Iwan loves
Tita?’ he expressed his
feelings very clearly. I always
thought that he loves me
only.’
An unexpected
feeling
d. When I knew that Iwan loved
my best friend Tita, I learned
something new. Love is a
sacrifice. Iwan used to love
me. It was unforgettable but
now he loved
somebody else. I was
miserable.
Stating your
own
feeling/opinion
e. We have to understand that to
love is as difficult as to be
loved. Both need endless
sacrifice. That was what
happened to the lovers.

The Gift
by O’Henry
Well, here is the story; Delia and Jim Young are a poor
newly married couple. Jim’ wage was enough to rent only a
very small apartment. But there were two things of which
each were extremely proud: Della had the longest and most
beautiful hair in all of New York, and Jim possessed a
magnificent gold pocket watch, given to him by his father.
New Year’s Day was drawing near, and Jim and Della
began to think what present they could afford to give each
other Della always noticed sadly when Jim looked at his
watch, it was fixed to button-hole of his coat by a common
old leather strap. He really needed a gold chain for his
watch. And Jim often thought, as he looked at Delia
combing her long hair.” How nice it would if only he could
buy her a jeweled hair- comb for her hair.” But a gold
watch-chain and a jeweled hair-comb would have cost far
more money than they could afford.
Then suddenly Dell had a wonderful idea! Quickly she
ran down the street to the shop with the notice ‘Hair
Bought’ She went in and an hour later walked out of the
shop with $15 in her hand, but with short-cut hair! On the
way home she stopped at a watchmaker’s shop and found
exactly the right chain for Jim’s watch.
Returning home, Della wrapped the precious gift in a
piece of colored paper, then she curled her short hair.
When Jim arrived home and saw her hair, he was
speechless.
“Oh, Jim, don’t look at me like that!,” said Della. “it
will grow again, sure it will.” She handed a parcel to Jim.
“You see, I had to sell it to get some money for your
present Happy New Year, Jim darling.”
Jim opened the parcel. He dropped into a chair and
laughed until tears came out of his eyes, “1 think we’d
better put this present away for a while;’ he said, gently at
last “You see;’ he continued, taking a small package from
his pocket. “I sold my watch to buy this comb for your
hair! isn’t that funny?”
Nodding, as the tears rose in her eyes too Della gave
Jim a brave smile and said, “Our presents are the best
presents in the world, you know.”

• You look good in that dress.
• What a lovely garden.
• You’re really a good cook.
• You’ve done a great job

Cultural Awareness
Read the text below. Then, answer the questions.
Giving Compliments
In every culture, giving compliments is a common thing to
do. However, they differs in some ways from culture to
culture.
In Indonesia if we see one of our friends wearing a
beautiful new dress, most of us tend to keep silent and say
nothing about the dress rather than expressing our
admiration. English people, however, tend to express it by
giving compliments. e.g.
• You look pretty in your new dress.
• I like the color of your new dress.
It also differs in how we respond to compliments. For
Indonesians, in many cases, it is common to see people
refusing a compliment by saying, “Tidak! Baju mi sudah
lama.” As a consequence when we speak in English we
tend to respond the same way and say, “No! It’s an old
dress. I bought it last year.”
Nevertheless, such a response is not appropriate in
English culture. Native speakers tend to accept a
compliment, particularly if it is a sincere one, by saying
thank you plus add one or two other statements supporting
it.
e.g.: “Thank you. I like it very much. I particularly like
its color and style.”
In responding to a compliment, most Indonesian
speakers, tend to be quiet, do not give any comments, and
tend to refuse the compliments with a few disagreeing
statements.
p.132
Pay attention to the following short conversations and find
the differences.
Indonesian
speakers Native speakers
Conversation 1
A : What a
beautiful garden
you have!
B : No, it is
actually a mess. I
haven’t got
enough time to
look after it.
Conversation 1
A : What a beautiful garden you
have!
B Thank you. I like gardening very
much and I spend a lot of time
looking after it.
Conversation 2
A : It’s really
delicious. You
are a great cook.
B : No, it’s rather
tasteless. I’m still
learning how to
cook.
Conversation 2
A : It’s really delicious. You are a
great cook.
B Thank you. I spent the whole
afternoon preparing all of these. I
tried to do my best, of course.
Does it mean that English people never refuse a
compliment? If the compliment is not sincere, they will
refuse it as well. They might say, for example:
Don’t try to flatter me.
I don’t like flatterers.
You’re just kidding me.
Flattery will get you nowhere.
You’re just fooling around, aren’t you?
So, we need to be able to judge whether our friend is
sincere or not when giving a compliment. We can do that
through our experience in getting along with them for
sometime.
Find out:
1. When do you usually give a compliment to others?
2. What is your response when people give you
compliments? Are you pleased, proud, shy, or
something else?
3. In the future, will you accept people’s compliments and
say thank you in return? Why/why not?

Influenced by the Gupta architecture of India, the
temple Is constructed on a hill 46 (150 ft) high and consists
of eight-step like stone terraces, one on top of the other.
The first five terraces are square and surrounded by
wails adorned with Buddhist sculpture in bas-relief; the
upper three are circular, each with a circle of bell-shaped
stupas (Buddhist shrines).
The entire edifice is crowned by a large stupa at the
center of the ipp circle. The way to the summit extends

Cultural Awareness
- Read the following text. Then answer the questions.
THE NEWSPAPER HEADLINES
Headlines are the sort of ‘tides’ above newspaper
articles. The headlines in English language newspaper can
be sometimes very difficult to understand. One reason for
this is that newspaper headlines are often written in special
style, which is very different from ordinary English. In this
style, words are used in unusual ways, and there are some
specials rules of grammar.
Short words save space, and so they are very common
in newspaper headlines. Some of the short words in
headlines are unusual in ordinary English (e.g. curb
meaning restriction), but they are very common in
newspaper headlines. Some are used in special senses
which they do not often have in ordinary language (e.g. bid
meaning ‘attempt’). Other words are chosen because they
sound dramatic (e.g. blaze, meaning ‘fire’).
Newspaper headlines often follow rather different
grammatical rules from other kinds of writing. For
examples, headlines are not always complete sentences and
they often contain three, four, or more nouns.
Find out:
1. Why are headlines written in unusual ways?
2. Where can you find headlines?
3. What makes headlines differ from ordinary English?
4. Find an English newspaper and an Indonesian
newspaper. Look for headlines from both newspapers.
Then, find some of the similarities.
