Dear Anita,

How are you , Anita? Hope you are well. My sister and I in pangandaran now. We

arrived here on Tuesday morning at four. The situation was already busy. Probably it was

because of the holiday time. We directly went to Panunjang and we found a lot of people

camping along the beach. We then took a cart and watch the waves rolling to the coast. It’s

interesting, too.

It was almost six. We then went to a restaurant have some hot drink and meal. We

went to hotels for a room but unfortunately all had been full. So we tried to get another hotel,

and we got a small and nice hotel. The rent was not too high.

At about nine we went to the Nature Reserve. The situation here was very nice. We

could hear the sound of the nature. We could see monkeys and deer. At cangkrungan we could

see small creatures but we had to be extra careful. The rock here was sharp.

Well, that’s all about our first day in pangandaran. Hope to be here someday with you.

little hill like royalty. There are trees literally everywhere. 415 is my house. It looks is the king of

Hillcrest.

The living room is the first room when entering the house. This room is filled with very lively

furniture, comfortable, tan leather couches, and colorful carpets over the bare wood floor, and a large

display case with pictures, books, and many memories of friends and family. And I mustn’t forget

about the enormous window that, during the day, will let as much sunlight and energy in the room as it

possibly can.

drawings on some of them. Her room is also decorated with strange little ornaments like little wooden

boxes, incense burners, and her own artwork.

Read the text and answer questions 33 to 35 The grasshopper is an insect of the suborder Caelifera in the order Orthoptera. To

distinguish it from bush crickets or katydids, it is sometimes referred to as the short-horned

grasshopper. Species that change colour and behaviour at high population densities are

called locusts.

Grasshoppers have antennae that are generally shorter than their body and

short ovipositors. They also have pinchers or mandibles that cut and tear off food. Those

species that make easily heard noises usually do so by rubbing the hind femurs against the

10

forewings or abdomen (stridulation), or by snapping the wings in flight. Tympana, if present,

are on the sides of the first abdominal segment. The hind femora are typically long and strong,

fitted for leaping. Generally they are winged, but hind wings are membranous while front

wings (tegmina) are coriaceous and not fit for flight. Females are normally larger than males,

with short ovipositors. Males have a single unpaired plate at the end of the abdomen. Females

have two pairs of valves ( triangles) at the end of the abdomen used to dig in sand when egg

laying.

Read the text and answer questions 40 to 43

An earthquake is one of the worst natural disasters on our earth. Earthquakes happen when

there is a sudden vibration in the earth’s crust. But most earthquakes happen because the

earth’s plates move.

In the middle of the 20th century scientists found out that continents do not always stay in

the same place. They have been moving on plates for millions of years. The earth’s surface is

made up of many such plates. Where two plates meet, magma comes out of the inner part of

the earth . These areas are called faults—breaks in the earth’s crust.

When two plates move away from each other, lava or magma comes out of the earth. Most

of this happens at the bottom of oceans, where the earth’s crust is very thin. Lava cools down

when it reaches the water and underwater mountains are formed.

Some plates slide past each other— for example, one moves north and the other moves

south . When these plates move along faults a lot of energy is released and the biggest

earthquakes happen.
