shows called "Eco Ways for the Future” (Ecoture) that promote environmental awareness.

"Ecoture aims to show how important it is to protect the environment. It also wants to
provide information about recyclable products that are of value," said Kartika Nindya,
Ecoture's coordinator, on Sunday, as quoted by kompas.com.

“At the end of today's ceremonies, we will create petition to show the commitment for young
people to become environmental heroes,” Nindya said.

Ecoture previously held a giveaway of 2,000 plants on March 25, during car-free day at I Jl.
Thamrin in Central Jakarta.

The changes that our planet has undergone throughout its history are a result of natural
factors like tiny changes in the Earth's path around the Sun, volcanic activity and fluctuations
within the climate system. However, humans are having an increasing influence on our
climate by burning fossil fuels, cutting down rainforests and farming livestock. What is the
Greenhouse Effect? As the Sun's energy warms up the Earth, our planet radiates some of this
heat back out towards space. Certain gases in the atmosphere act like the glass in a
greenhouse, allowing the Sun's energy in but preventing heat from escaping. Some
greenhouse gases, such as water vapor – the most abundant greenhouse gas – are naturally
present in the atmosphere; without them, the Earth's average temperature would be an
unbearably cold -18°C instead of the 15°C it is today. However, human activities are releasing
immense additional amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and this is enhancing
the greenhouse effect.
39. What is the topic of the text?

A. Relation between human activities and greenhouse effect.

B. “Greenhouse effect' as a natural phenomenon.

C. Greenhouse gases and 'greenhouse effect.

D. Definition of 'greenhouse effect'.

E. Causes of greenhouse effect'.

Dear Mr Jenkins

I am writing to complain about my recent holydays in Sydney which was organized by your
company. My wife and I selected a two-weeks Women Weekly Tour starting on 29 December.
Your agency claimed we would be picked up at the airport and that the hotel was three-star
quality. The all-inclusive price we paid included breakfast and dinner and two excursions

On arrival at the airport, there was no one to meet us. We were waiting for half an hour and
then had no choice except to take a taxi. This cost $30. The receipt is enclosed.

The hotel was not what I would consider three-stars. The room was dirty: the beds were small
and uncomfortable. The breakfast portions were very small, and the hotel refused to provide us
with dinner. We had to spend some more $500 for extra meals. Again I enclose our restaurant
receipts.

I found it dishonest and unacceptable that your company offered us a tour which doesn't
resemble the description; I expect to be compensated for all of my extra expenses. The receipts
enclosed worth for a total of $530. In addition, we claim a refund of $100 because the room was
not up to the promised standard.

We expect real action to be done very soon.

Yours sincerely

Mr. Imron

Biodiesel is a clean burning substitute for petroleum based diesel fuel. Biodiesel is made of
vegetable oil.

To make or manufacture Biodiesel, you must first start with raw materials. The raw materials
needed in the production of Biodiesel are a small amount of methanol and a ready supply of
vegetable product. One of the most common vegetables used in the production of Biodiesel is corn,
although depending on the geographic location of the manufacturing facility many other plants are
used as well (rapeseed, soybeans, flaxseed, etc.). The first step is to use the raw vegetable product
to make vegetable oil. Vegetable oil by itself will not be what you need to power a car, from here it
has to be processed into Biodiesel.

The process for converting vegetable oil into Biodiesel is sometimes called ester interchange.
To complete this process the vegetable oil has to be combined with a smaller amount of methanol
and then put in the presence of a small quantity of an alkaline catalyst (for example, 5% to 1%
sodium hydroxide). Vegetable oil is made up of so-called triglycerides, which is a compound of the
trivalent alcohol glycerin with three fatty acids. The goal of ester interchange is to separate the
glycerin molecule from the three fatty acids and replace it with three methanol molecules. This
process then yields roughly 90% Biodiesel and 10% of a glycerin byproduct. The glycerin byproduct
can be used in a number of other chemical processes for different industries.

A. The three fatty acids with the glyserin molecules.

B. The glyserin molecule with three methanol molecules.

C. Methanol with the tree fatty acids.

D. Vegetable oil with methanol.

E. Methanol and alkalin catalyst.

45. According to the text, one of the advantages in using biodiesel is ....

A. it is cheap

B. It only uses vegetable oil

C. It uses replaceable materials

The following text is for question 47.

47. Homeschooling is a hot topic, with a great deal of opposing views. For those favor ing
homeschooling, first and foremost, homeschooling offers a great deal of educational
freedom. While the basics are certainly covered for all homeschool students, the students
have a great deal of freedom over what they specifically learn and when. Next,
homeschooling offers a great deal of physical freedom. Without the strict schedule of school
hours, homework and school trips, families have much more freedom to vacation at odd
times, and other such activities. Additionally, homeschooling offers emotional freedom.
Students often experience troubles with bullies, peer pressure, boredom and competition. In
a homeschool environment, these factors are eliminated. Homeschooling also provides a
sense of stability to families during difficult times, whether it is illness, moving, death or a
new family member.

While homeschooling can do a great deal of good, there are also a number of
disadvantages. First, there are the time restraints. Whether you work, are a single parent. Or
simply choose a time-intensive schooling method, there is a great deal of factors limiting the
time available for homeschooling. Financial restraints are another concern. The closeness of
homeschooling may prove too much for some families as parents often must spend a larger
amount of time with their children. Other disadvantages come from limited social
interactions. For example, team sports opportunities are limited for most homeschoolers,
especially teenagers who want to participate in competitive sports.

Homeschooling is considered better in offering more affective welfare to children as .....

A. familial interaction creates closer relationships among home members.

B. In learning, time constraints are minimal, avoiding them from pressure.

C. homeschoolers have a free choice to learn or not to learn something.

D. homeschooling activites keep children emotional states stable.

E. Homeschooled children enjoy more learning materials.
