THE SMARTEST PARROT

Once upon time, a man had a wonderful parrot. There was

no other parrot like it. The parrot could say every word,

except one word. The parrot would not say the name of

the place where it was born. The name of the place was

Catano.

The man felt excited having the smartest parrot but he

could not understand why the parrot would not say

Catano. The man tried to teach the bird to say Catano,

however the bird did not say the word.

At first, the man was very nice to the bird but then he

got very angry. “You stupid bird!” pointed the man to the

parrot. “Why can’t you say the word? Say Catano! Or I

will kill you” the man said angrily. Although he tried hard

to teach, the parrot would not say it. Then the man got

so angry and shouted to the bird over and over; “Say

Catano or I’ll kill you”. The bird kept not to say the word

of Catano.

One day, after he had been trying so many times to make

the bird say Catano, the man really got very angry. He

could not bear it. He picked the parrot and threw it into

the chicken house. There were four old chickens for next

dinner “You are as stupid as the chickens. Just stay with

them” Said the man angrily. Then he continued to humble;

“You know, I will cut the chicken for my meal. Next it will

be your turn, I will eat you too, stupid parrot”. After

that he left the chicken house.

The next day, the man came back to the chicken house.

He opened the door and was very surprised. He could not

believe what he saw at the chicken house. There were

three death chickens on the floor. At the moment, the

parrot was standing proudly and screaming at the last old

chicken; “Say Catano or I’ll kill you”.

Read the following text to answer questions 32 to 35.

Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants,

and are known for their role in pollination and for

producing honey and beeswax. There are nearly 20,000

known species of bees in nine recognized families though

many are undescribed and the actual number is probably

higher. They are found on every continent except

Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains

insect-pollinated flowering plants.

Bees have a long proboscis (a complex "tongue") that

enables them to obtain the nectar from flowers. They

have antennae almost universally made up of 13 segments

in males and 12 in females, as is typical for the super

family. Bees all have two pairs of wings, the hind pair

being the smaller of the two; in a very few species, one

sex or caste has relatively short wings that make flight

difficult or impossible, but none are wingless.

The smallest bee is Trigona minima, a stingless bee whose

workers are about 2.1 mm (5/64") long. The largest bee

in the world is Megachile pluto, a leafcutter bee whose

females can attain a length of 39 mm (1.5"). Members of

the family Halictidae, or sweat bees, are the most

common type of bee in the Northern Hemisphere, though

they are small and often mistaken for wasps or flies.

MAKING CANDLES

Making coloured and scented candles is really quick and

simple. What's more, you'll save so much money. If

making candle is easy, why do you ever buy one from a

shop? What you need in making candle are wax, moulds,

wick, dye discs, essential oils, and a double boiler. All

these materials are available from craft shops. Or if you

do not want to buy them, you can improvise with an old

saucepan, Pyrex jug, or even a sturdy can, in a pot of

water. After providing the materials, follow this

prevent it bursting into flames; you must melt it in a

double boiler, with water in the bottom of the pan.

Then, prepare the mould with the wick. Thread the wick

through the mould and make sure that you leave a good

few centimeters sticking out of the hole in the bottom.

After that, add the scent. If you want a scented candle,

add a few drops of essential oil to the melted wax. You

can use any essential oil you like, as long as it doesn't

contain water.

Next step, pour the wax into the mould. Try and tip the

wax into the mould quickly, all in one go, to minimize

spillage and air bubbles.

Then, release the bubbles and top it up. Releasing the air

bubbles will eventually make the candle sink, so you will

need to top it up with more melted wax.

Finally, remove it from the mould. After four or five

hours, the candle can be taken out of its mould.

Your candle is now ready for display. Remember, you must

always leave it for a day before lighting it.

Dear Dr. Hambali Sahali,

We would like to invite you and your staff to visit our

school SMP Duta Bangsa, where we are engaged in an

exciting service learning project.

Service-learning is a teaching method that engages our

students in solving problems within their school and

communities as an integral part of their academic

studies. It is hoped that students master important

curriculum content by making meaningful connection

between what they study and its real-life applications.

Besides, students become more effective citizens

through acts of kindness, community stewardship and

civic action. This effort is made possible with support

from Learn and Serve America, a program of the

corporation for National and Community Service.

May we suggest that you visit us on January 11, 2010 at

10 o’clock? This will give you an opportunity to see our

program in action. We have also invited our community

partners, members of the local media, and several

families of students whom we serve. They are eager to

talk to you about the importance of investing in service-

learning activities in our local community.

We have enclosed a one page profile of our program for

your reference. I will contact your office within the next

two weeks to follow-up on this invitation. Again, we do

hope you can join us on this occasion.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Andy Sehatapi
