The Old Woman and The Sparrow

Once upon a time, there lived a kind hearted man and his wife. One morning, his wife found a
poor little sparrow. She took it gently and fed it. To show its gratitude, the sparrow stayed with
them and sang every morning. But there was an ill-tempered old woman who didn't like the
sparrow. She cut the sparrow's tongue. That's why the bird flew away to its previous nest.
Knowing that their sparrow flew away, the kind man and his wife looked for the sparrow. They
walked a long way, crossed the bridges, climbed the mountains and passed the woods.
At last, they could find the sparrow's nest. The sparrow welcomed them and provided a feast for
them. Before they went home, the sparrow brought two baskets; one was large and looked heavy,
and the other one was small and light. The sparrow asked them to choose only one. They chose
the small and that was the best choice. There were many rolls of silk and piles of gold in it.
Being jealous, the ill-tempered old woman did the same thing as the kind man and his wife did.
She chose the big basket which actually contained wasps and venomous crawlers, such as
scorpions, centipedes, and other horrible creatures. Finally, aaathey stung and bit her to death.

A Legend of Candy Cane

A candy maker in Indiana wanted to make a candy that would be a witness, so he made the
Christmas Candy Cane. He incorporated several symbols for the birth, ministry, and death of
Jesus Christ.
He began with a stick of pure white, hard candy. White to symbolize the Virgin Birth and the
sinless nature of Jesus, and hard to symbolize the Solid Rock, the foundation of the church, and
firmness of the promises of God.
The candy maker made the candy in the form of a "J" to represent the precious name of Jesus,
who came to earth as our Savior. It also represents the staff of the "Good Shepherd" with which
He reaches down into the ditches of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who, like all sheep,
have gone astray.
Thinking that the candy was somewhat plain, the candy maker stained it with red stripes. He
used the tree small stripes to show the stripes of the scourging Jesus received by which we are
healed. The large red stripe was for the blood shed by Jesus on the Cross so that we could have
the promise of eternal life, if only we put our faith and trust in Him. Unfortunately, the candy
became known as a Candy Cane - a meaningless decoration seen at Christmas time. But the
meaning is still there for those who "have eyes to see and ears to hear".
Narrative Text in English : Jantur and Menur
JANTUR and Menur were twins. Jantur was a boy and Menur was a girl and they had different
personalities. Jantur was lazy, he got angry easily. He always said bad words when he was angry.
However, Menur was a very kind, diligent, patient and always helped their parents. She always
reminded her brother to behave well.
Menur! Where are you? Im hungry! Give me some food! said Jantur. Be patient Jantur Im
still cooking, the food is not ready yet. Why don't you help me mop the floor? Father and mother
will be home soon, said Menur. Arrrgggh! What took you so long? Im hungry, you are so
slow! said Janur. And he said bad words to Menur.
Menur was very sad. She cried. When their parents went home, Menur told them about Janturs
bad behavior. Her father then advised him. However, Jantur did not want to listen to him. He
ignored him, and it was getting worse.
Jantur asked his parents and his sister to leave the house. They were very sad. They never
thought that Jantur would ask them to leave the house. After his parents and his sister left her
house, Jantur lived alone. At first he felt very happy because no one disturbed him. He could do
anything he wanted. He even spent his parents money for bad things. When all the money was
gone, he sold his parents animals, cows, goats, cocks and hens.
Meanwhile, Menur and her parents lived in another place. When they left home, they did not
bring anything. Because they worked very hard, they could build a new home and they had new
animals.
They were rich.
How about Jantur? Soon all his parents wealth was gone. Jantur was lazy, he did not want to
work. He wanted to have much money in an easy way. So he sold the last wealth, it was the
house. After Jantur sold the house, again, he spent the money foolishly. It was not surprising that
Jantur became poor again.

He did not have any money and he did not have a house. His body was very thin. He suffered
skin disease, his skin was full of black dots.
Jantur did not have a way to go, he just walked and walked. Finally, he arrived at his parents
house. Menur was in front of the house sweeping the floor. At first, they did not recognize each
other. Menur thought that Jantur was a beggar.
Are you hungry? Here, I have some food, said Menur. Jantur was happy. He was so hungry
that he did not recognize his sister. However Menur knew him. Jantur? Is that you brother?
Father, mother, Jantur is here!! screamed Menur. Jantur my son, what happened to you? said
his mother. Jantur was surprised. Mother, is that really you? Father, mother, and Menur! Please
forgive me. I was punished by God. I suffer an illness, Im poor, and I dont have a house to live.
I have done bad things to you all. I promise I will be good, promised Jantur.
The family now reunited. They have already forgiven Jantur and amazingly Jantur was cured.
And as he promised, Jantur became a very good man.
Father Eyes
Once in a city, there was a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart. Practice after
practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys, he got
absolutely nowhere. At all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever
played. This teenager lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special
relationship.
Even though the son was always on the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. He
never missed a game. This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high
school. But his father continued to encourage him but also made it very clear that he did not have
to play football if he didn't want to. But the young man loved football and decided to hang in
there. He was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he'd get to play when he
became a senior.
All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a bench-warmer all
four years. His faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for
him.
When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a "walk-on."
Everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did. The coach admitted that he kept him
on the roster because he always puts his heart and soul to every practice, and at the same time,
provided the other members with the spirit and hustle they badly needed.
The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone
and called his father. His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the
college games. This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at
college, but he never got to play in a game.
It was the end of his senior football season, and as he trotted onto the practice field shortly before
the big playoff game, the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and
he became deathly silent.
Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, "My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss
practice today?" The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, "Take the rest of the
week off, son. And don't even plan to come back to the game on Saturday."

Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter, when the team was ten
points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his
football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were astounded to see their
faithful teammate back so soon. "Coach, please let me play. I've just got to play today," said the
young man. The coach pretended not to hear him. There was no way he wanted is worst player in
this close playoff game.
But the young man persisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in. "All right,"
he said. "You can go in." Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not
believe their eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before was doing everything right.
The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, he passed, blocked, and tackled like a star.
His team began to triumph. The score was soon tied. In the closing seconds of the game, this kid
intercepted a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown. The fans broke loose. His
teammates hoisted him onto their shoulders. Such cheering you never heard.
Finally, after the stands had emptied and the team had showered and left the locker room, the
coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone. The coach came to
him and said, "Kid, I can't believe it. You were fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did
you do it?"
He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Well, you knew my dad died, but did
you know that my dad was blind?" The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, "Dad
came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show
him I could do it!".

Narrative Text : The Moon, A Balloon, and A

Spoon
This is a very strange story about the moon, a balloon and a spoon-but who's to say it isn't true?
It happened late one night when everybody had gone to bed. All the children in the houses had
been fast asleep for hours, and all the grown-ups too. Only the cats that sat on the rooftops were
wide awake in the monnlight.
Suddenly there came a noise like..,,,...thunder perhaps, or a jet plane maybe, or the roaring,
rushing sound of a hurricane......no-one could really say for sure.
All at once everyone was out of bed opening their windows and looking up into the sky.
There it was again, and again, and again. The noise was so loud that it knocked off some of the
chimney pots and sent them rolling down the roofs.
"What is it?" the people in the houses cried with fright.
A ginger cat who had been sitting on the roof seemed to know the answer.
"Its the Moon!" he purred, looking very aloof. "The Moon has a bad cold and he keeps on
sneezing!" and the ginger cat strolled off to find a quieter rooftop.
Sure enough when the people looked up into the sky, they could see that the Moon had a dreadful
cold red nose and all!

The stars were scattered across the sky, for they found it very difficult to hang on when the Moon
was sneezing so hard.
All through that night the moon sneezed and sneezed. No-one got a wink of sleep and everyone
felt very tired and grumpy next morning.
"What are we going to do?" neighbours asked one another-but nobody had the least idea.
"How long does a bad cold usually last?" someone asked the chemist in the shop down the street.
"At least a week," he said gravely, "and in some cases up to a fortnight!"
Everybody groaned. No sleep for a fortnight.....it was unthinkable!.
"What the Moon really needs is a bottle of my best cold medicine," the chemist went on, "that
will stop him sneezing in a jiffy."
"This all sounds very silly indeed," said a lady who lived in one of the houses. "How on earth
can we give medicine to the Moon?"
"Somebody could float up there in a ballon," said one little boy "they do it all the time in nursery
rhymes and fairy stories!"
"That sounds like a very good idea to me," a man spoke up, "I have a hot-air balloon and would
gladly help the Moon's bad cold!"
First the medicine had to be mixed. The chemist found everything he needed and put all the
ingredients into a great big bowl. He had a giant bottle in his shop window so he carefully
poured the cold mixture into that.
"So far so good," smiled the chemist looking very pleased with himself.
"We shall need a giant spoon!" piped up the little boy (whose idea it was in the first place).
"I've just the thing," cried the baker. "I use it to stir my cakes at Christmas time.......I've such a lot
to make!"
So straight away he ran to his shop to fetch the giant spoon.
The man who owned the hot-air balloon started getting things ready.
The little boy (whose idea it was in the first place), was going up in the basket to give the Moon
the medicine.
By the time darkness fell and the Moon appeared in the sky, everything was ready.
You could hear that the Moon's cold was no better, in fact he sounded much worse. Even the
clouds were being blown all over the place.
"Soon we shall be sneezing instead of twinkling," some of the stars grumbled loudly.
At long last the man in the hot-air balloon and the little boy, (whose idea it was in the first place),
reached the Moon.
Very, very carefully the little boy gave the Moon the cold medicine from the giant spoon.
"Is it alright to take the whole bottle?" asked the Moon wheezing and sneezing.
"Perfectly alright," the little boy replied, "it says so on the label!"

The cold medicine worked wonders. In next to no time the Moon recovered and all was peace
and quiet.
Everyone in the houses had a good night's sleep, for there was nothing to disturb their
slumbers......and the cats walked along the rooftops as usual and gazed up at the moon, who was
asleep too!

The Best Example of Descriptive Text about a Cat
Gregory is my beautiful gray Persian cat. He walks with pride and grace, performing
a dance of disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each paw with the delicacy of a
ballet dancer. His pride, however, does not extend to his appearance, for he spends
most of his time indoors watching television and growing fat.
He enjoys TV commercials, especially those for Meow Mix and 9 Lives. His familiarity
with cat food commercials has led him to reject generic brands of cat food in favor
of only the most expensive brands.
Gregory is as finicky about visitors as he is about what he eats, befriending some
and repelling others. He may snuggle up against your ankle, begging to be petted,
or he may imitate a skunk and stain your favorite trousers. Gregory does not do this
to establish his territory, as many cat experts think, but to humiliate me because he
is jealous of my friends.

After my guests have fled, I look at the old fleabag snoozing and smiling to himself
in front of the television set, and I have to forgive him for his obnoxious, but
endearing, habits.

Then, prepare the mould with the wick. Thread the wick through the mould and make
sure that you leave a good few centimetres 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 minimise 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.

"Writing For Business" Contoh / Example a procedure text

writing something for your business can be pretty intimidating. Well, you don't have
to.
Here's a simple checklist to follow. I'm not saying that following these rules will
make your company the next Google, but it will help.
Firstly, take the topic of benefits, not features. Your customers don't care about you.
They want to know "What's in it for me?"
Secondly, write your benefit like you talk it. Use regular words. Read aloud what
you've written. How does it sound?
Thirdly, lose the weak words. Don't describe how your company may, might or
should help customers but talk about how your company will.
Fourthly, Use a nice rhythm. Some sentences are long and some are short. Mix them
up and keep things interesting.
Fifthly,re-read what you've done before publishing. Edit it necesarily. It's so easy to
make mistakes which you don't notice the first time through.

Contoh/Example of Report Text "Volcano"

Volcano Eruption
Volcanic eruptions have caused some of the worst disasters in the world. They can wipe out
entire cities and kill thousands of people.
The name of volcano comes from Roman term. It derives from VULCAN which is the name of
Roman fire god. Romans believed that Vulcan lived on a volcanic Italian coast. Romans called
the island VULCANO.
According to scientists, volcanic eruptions are divided in to four basic groups. They are
commonly known as Hawaiian, Strombolian, Vulcanian and Peleean. The term of Hawaiian
eruptions are named after the volcanoes in Hawaii. These volcanic eruptions are the least violent
type. They produce highly fluid lava which flows quietly. This gradually builds up a shield
volcano.
Strombolian eruptions are named after Stromboli. These result from the constant release of gas
from the magma. As the gas escapes, it produces tephra that piles up, turning into a cinder cone.
Strombolian eruptions happen when sticky magma plugs the central vent. This makes the
magmatic gas build up pressure until it blasts. The magma is turned into volcanic dust and
bombs.

Vulcanian eruption which comes from the ancient Roman belief, are more violent than the
strombolian eruption. Vulcanian eruption happens and brings magma which is more viscous.
Vulcanian explosions are usually larger and noisier than the Strombolian eruptions.
Paleean eruptions are famous as the most violent kind of volcanic eruptions. The name of
paleean comes from the eruption of Mount Pelee, Martinique in 1902. It killed almost 38
thousands people. A Peleean eruption occurs when the magmatic gas build up tremendous
pressure. This causes violent explosions with glowing clouds of hot ash and dust.

Mangrove Trees
A mangrove is a tropical marine tree. Mangroves have special aerial roots and salt-filtering tap
roots which enable them to thrive in brackish water. Brackish water is salty but not as salty as sea
water. Mangrove trees are commonly planted and found in coastal areas. Mangroves can serve as
walls of protection for natural disaster in coastal area like tsunami. According to BBC News,
healthy mangrove forests had helped save lives in the Asia disaster tsunami and people tended to
respect these natural barriers even more, especially after the tsunami.
There are several species of mangrove tree found all over the world. Some prefer more salinity,
while others like to be very-close to a large fresh water source such as river. Some prefer areas
that are sheltered from waves. Some species have their roots covered with sea water every day
during high tide. Other species grow on dry land but are still part of the ecosystem. The Times of
India reported that rare species of mangrove had been found and was also known as the lookingglass tree, probably because the leaves are silver-coated.
Mangroves need to keep their trunk and leave above the surface of the water. Yet they also need
to be firmly attached to the ground so they are not moved by waves.
Any part of root that appears above the water flows oxygen to the plant under water surface. as
the soil begin to build up, these roots procedure additional roots that become embedded in the
soil.

Kinds of Earthquake
Earthquake often happens around us. It brings great damages. Earthquake is hard to be predicted
and that makes lot victims.
Actually there are three kinds of earthquake. This kinds of earthquake are commonly base on the
factor and geological area where the earthquakes happen. These three kinds of earthquake are
tectonic, volcanic and explosion.
Tectonic earthquakes is most common one. This kind of earthquake happens while earth's crust
rocks break because of the geological strength created by moving of the earth's plates.
Volcanic earthquakes happen exactly with volcanic activity. Volcanic earthquakes are when the
volcano produces acidic lava, which drys quickly, when it drys quickly it blocks the top of the
volcano. This make no more magma can escape. Pressure starts to build up and eventually the
acidic lava can no longer stand the pressure. So the volcano is free to explode, the pressure is

released so fast that an earthquake is caused. A volcanic earthquake is usually kept within 10-20
miles of the volcano.
Explosion earthquakes are the result of the collapse earthquakes that are small earthquakes
occurring in underground mines and caverns.

What is a tornado?
Tornadoes are known as one of the most damaging disasters. What is the description of
tornadoes? A tornado is a very powerful column of winds which spirals around a center of low
atmospheric pressure. A tornado will look like a large black funnel which hangs down from a
storm cloud.
The name "tornado" derives from the Latin "tonare". It means "to thunder." While the Spanish
developed the word into "tornear" which means "to turn or twist". This is why a tornado is
sometimes called twister or cyclone.
The winds inside a twister can spin around at speeds up to 500 miles an hour, but it usually
travels at roughly 300 miles an hour. This speed twisting makes a tornado the most dangerous
storm.
The average tornado has a diameter of about 200 to 300 yards. The smaller tornadoes are known
as satellite tornadoes. These small offspring, about 50 yards across, can be very fierce and do lots
of damage.
The forming of a tornado can be very quick. Sometimes it can form in a minute or less. A
tornado can travel across the ground at high speeds, then it can suddenly vanish. Most tornadoes
last less than twenty minutes and travel less than 15 miles. However, the super storms sometimes
travel over 100 miles before they are exhausted.

Komodo Dragon
Do you know what is the largest lizard? This lizard is called komodo. It lives in the scrub and
woodland of a few Indonesian islands.
Komodo dragon is the world's heaviest lizard, weighing 150 pounds or more. The largest
Komodo ever measured was more than 10 feet (3 meters) long and weighed 366 pounds (166 kg)
but the average size of komodo in the wild is about 8 feet (2.5 meters) long and 200 pounds (91
kg)
Komodo has gray scaly skin, a pointed snout, powerful limbs and a muscular tail. They use their
keen sense of smell to locate decaying animal remains from several miles away. They also hunt
other lizards as well as large mammals and are sometimes cannibalistic.
The Komodo dragon's teeth are almost completely covered by its gums. When it feeds, the gums
bleed, creating an ideal culture for virulent bacteria. The bacteria that live in the Komodo
dragon's saliva causes septicemia, or blood poisoning, in its victims. A dragon will bite its prey,
then follow it until the animal is too weak to carry on.
This lizard species is threatened by hunting, loss of prey species and habitat loss.

Human Body Energy

Human body is actually a living machine and is like all other machines. This living machine
needs fuel to supply it with energy. The fuel is provided by the food which we eat. However do
we know how much we need to stay healthy?
The energy value of food is usually measured in calories. A calorie is the amount of heat which is
required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 degree C. The number of calories which
people need per day varies. It depends on the activity which the people are involved in. For
example; people will need more calories for standing than for sitting, people need more for
running than for walking, etc.
The energy which is provided by food is in the form of three kinds of chemical substances. They
are carbohydrate, protein and fat. Carbohydrate provides 8.8 calories per gram (cal/gm) of
energy, protein 4.0 cal/gm and fat 8.0 cal/gm. Each food contains different proportion of these
substances.These three chemical substances are all important for body staying healthy.
