The classroom has been left by the students during the COVID-19
pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic took the world by surprise. Globally, everything has stopped. Projects have been delayed, workplaces closed and schools shut down.
However, students continue their education through online learning and via video calls with their teachers, especially in big cities such as Jakarta. The model is currently
the best alternative as keeping schools open poses a safety risk for students. Globally, many countries have adopted this approach. Schools in New York, the United
States, prepared for online learning by distributing gadgets to their students, ensuring they had access to learning materials. As of early April, education authorities
distributed around 500,000 laptops and tablets to their students, allowing them to participate in classes online.

Long time ago in China, girls were expected to stay at home and learnt household work while the boys went to school, but a girl named Zhu conceived a desire to study
but her father did not want to fight against tradition. He was confident that no school would admit a girl even Zhu’s family was wealthy.
Zhu disguised herself as a boy and managed to get a school in the city of Hangzhou, where her aunt lived.
There was a boy named Liang in her class. The two became good friends. As the years passed they became inseparable companions. Zhu realized that she was in
love. She wanted to stay with Liang the rest of her life.
After finishing school, Liang lost no time in taking up a job, and when he had saved enough to get married he hastened to Zhu’s house. Zhu saw him coming, and was
overjoyed. “I’m your friend, as you can see I’m a girl. Unable to restrain herself she rushed out, I cannot live without you!"
Liang was dazed but it soon recovered and caught Zhu in a warm embrace. Zhu took him to her father who listened attentively to what Liang had to say, but when the
young man asked for Zhu’s hand, he shook his head. He told Liang that Zhu had already been promised to another man, a wealthy merchant. Nothing that Liang said
could make Zhu’s father change his mind. Liang left, shattered. On the way, he collapsed and died.
When Zhu learnt of Liang’s death, she lost all desire to continue living. She pretended to agree to the marriage arranged for her on one condition that the
wedding procession passed by Liang’s grave. As the wedding procession near, Zhu jumped down from her palanquin and rushing to Liang’s grave threw herself
on it, sobbing uncontrollably. Zhu leapt into it. When Zhu’s relatives reached the grave and peered into it, all they saw at first was an empty coffin. Then out flew
two butterflies, dancing as if they could not believe they were together.

Communist Russia divided the world. It was seen by some as an alternative to the inequities of Capitalism and by others as an embodiment of totalitarianism and lack of
freedom. The Soviet Union transformed the lives of Russian people – it led to economic growth, but also increased political repression. The ideology of the Soviet Union
also led to a prolonged ‘Cold War’ – with an ideological divide between western democracy and Soviet Communism.

Reports about the easing of restrictions in other countries are ever so tempting. Even in China where a second wave of COVID-19 infections is not ruled out,
kindergartens have opened; likewise, classes have started in Japan and Denmark with school staff taking temperatures at the door and with desks set further apart than
usual.
In Australia, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced Friday a three-step plan for restarting economic and social life with July set as the final “aspirational” target. In the
first phase to start “soon”, weddings can have a maximum of 10 guests, cafes and restaurants can have up to 10 patrons with at least 4 square meters of space per
person; but international travel is unlikely to resume in the near future.
Last Friday Malaysia announced most businesses would be allowed to resume operations and childcare centres would open. However, parents remain fearful about
taking chances. Therefore, governments are assessing their own societies on when and how to go about relaxing restrictions.
In Indonesia as millions become deeply fearful about how to feed their families in the coming weeks, hopes are high that the economy can slowly resume. But however
closely we may try to imitate the disciplined measures in the above countries, there are already too many holes in the enforcement of the large-scale social restrictions
(PSBB).
The national COVID-19 taskforce chief Doni Monardo said Wednesday that essential travel was now allowed, such as for medical personnel but he also described the
presence of a military officer’s wife at his handover ceremony as “important”. So, what other interpretations could there be of what is “essential”?
Based on the text, state whether the following statements are true or false.
A. Study has reported that some countries have the difficulty to face the spreading of virus 19

One of the biggest advantages of working online is that there is no work pressure. Compared to office work, online jobs are less stressful, and no one will be following or
supervising you all the time. You will plan yourself freely
In respect to time, online jobs offer huge flexibility. You have the power to schedule your working hours. You will not be tied in an office from 9-6 even when you
have already finished the day’s duty. Such gives you a chance to work on other personal obligations as well or on what you are best at.
Working without someone over you is a fantasy to many people. With online jobs, you will be your boss. What else are you looking for in a job? You will not be shouted
at from time to time nor will anyone scold you even for the smallest mistakes.
With online jobs, you will be able to work for different clients. This means more work and gives you the opportunity to choose the one with the best rates. The
more clients you have, the better you will be earning. Some online workers earn more than office workers.
Another reason why people are opting for online jobs is that they can experiment on different jobs. For example, if you feel that whatever you have been doing is
becoming monotonous, you can switch to another job. Such freedoms make the work very interesting

Consumer behaviour is the study of knowing how individual customers, groups or organizations select, buy, use and dispose of ideas, goods and services to satisfy their
needs and desires. It refers to the actions of the consumers in the marketplace and the underlying motives for those actions. Let’s take a look at the stages of the
consumer buying journey.
Often the first step of the buying journey involves identifying a problem or a need. Sometimes, your customers need might be as simple as wanting to be an early
adopter, someone who enjoys being ‘first’ to have or use a particular product.
The next step is searching for a solution on how to solve the problem. Let’s take that new mobile phone you are thinking of buying. If your old phone has broken down,
you can either research repair shops or you can start looking at new models. Consumers conduct searches internally or externally. An internal search means that
the consumer falls back on their personal experiences (I’m an Apple fan) while external search relies on anecdotes from friends and family and probably the internet
(your mum tells you to buy an android because they are better).
The third step in the consumer buying journey is all about comparing different brands and products, evaluating alternatives. After researching a product and
building knowledge your customer may decide to research alternative products available in the market.
Then comes “the actual purchase decision”. At this stage, the buyer has finished evaluating the alternatives and is ready to make a decision. This is the magical moment
of truth when the consumer selects a brand to purchase. In the evaluation phase, purchase intentions are developed after the buyer ranks the brand according to
all options available to them.

A geyser is a rare kind of hot spring that is under pressure and erupts, sending jets of water and steam into the air.
Geysers are made from a tube-like hole in the Earth's surface that runs deep into the crust. The tube is filled with water. Near the bottom of the tube is molten
rock called magma, which heats the water in the tube. Water in the lower part of the tube, close to the magma, becomes superhot. Gradually, it begins to boil.
Some of the water is forced upward. The boiling water begins to steam, or turn to gas. The steam jets toward the surface. Its powerful jet of steam ejects the column of
water above it. The water rushes through the tube and into the air.
The eruption will continue until all the water is forced out of the tube, or until the temperature inside the geyser drops below boiling (100 degrees Celsius, or 212
degrees Fahrenheit, at sea level).
After the eruption, water slowly seeps back into the tube. The process begins again. In some small geysers, the eruption process can take just a few minutes. In larger
geysers, it can take days. The most famous geyser in the United States, Yellowstone National Park's Old Faithful, erupts about every 50-100 minutes.
(Adapted from: https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/geyser/ , retrieved on Dec 19th, 2020)
Based on paragraph 2, geyser activity is caused by surface water that is gradually seeping down through the ground and meets magma.

One day, while the old woman was down at the river washing clothes, a big peach came floating down the river! It looked so delicious; she decided to take it home for
her and her husband to eat. When the old man came back to their home, the old woman cut the peach open, and to their surprise, there was a small boy inside! They
decided to call him Momotaro, which means ‘peach boy’.
The old couple raised Momotaro to be big and strong. One day, he decided to go and defeat the ogres living on Ogre Island that were pillaging the land. The old woman
fixed him some delicious millet dumplings, known as kibi-dango, for his long journey to the island. On the way, a monkey, a dog, and a pheasant joined him, giving them
a dumpling each in return for their help in fighting the ogres.
Upon reaching the Ogre Island, Momotaro and his companions found that the gate was locked to the Ogre’s fort. The pheasant flew inside, and grabbed a key to let the
others in. Once inside, they fought the evil ogres. The pheasant pecked their eyes, the dog bit their legs and the monkey jumped on their backs, clawing at the beasts.
Finally, the ogres cried for mercy! They gave the strong Momotaro all of their treasure, and he returned to his village triumphantly. Momotaro and the old couple lived

The urgent need to prevent looting and stealing from Trowulan archaeological site was one of the main reasons to build a simple archaeological storage building that
became the old Trowulan Museum. It was established by Henri Maclaine Pont, a Dutch architect and archaeologist, and the Mojokerto regent Kanjeng Adipati Ario
Kromodjojo Adinegoro.
The new museum was officially opened in 1987. Covering a spacious area of some 57,625 square metres, this new site accommodates the collection of the old
Trowulan Museum, as well as the bulk of the stone sculpture which used to be housed in the museum of Mojokerto.

Once upon a time, there lived a husband and wife in the jungle of Lawu Mountain, East Java. They were Kyai Pasir and his wife Nyai Pasir. They lived peacefully. Kyai
Pasir was a farmer. He worked in a rice field. Nyai Pasir just stayed at home.
Kyai Pasir left the house and went to his field every morning. While he was walking, he stumbled upon something. He looked at the thing carefully, "What is this? Is this
an egg? But what kind of egg is this? It's very big."
Kyai Pasir put the egg back to the ground. At home, Kyai Pasir told his wife about the egg. "Why didn't you bring the egg home?" asked Nyai Pasir. "It's really big. I feel
strange about the egg," explained Kyai Pasir.
"If the egg is very big, then we both can eat it. Please bring the egg home, Kyai," asked Nyai Pasir.
On the following day, Kyai Pasir went to the field as usual. He planned to bring the egg home as his wife's request. He did not want to stumble upon the egg for
the second time. He looked around carefully. Finally, he found the egg and brought it home.
Nyai Pasir did not wait for long to boil the egg. And when it was done, they both ate the egg. They both felt very full. And it made them fell asleep. In the
morning Kyai and Nyai Pasir woke up as usual and went to the field.
On the way to the field, he felt his body itchy and uncomfortable. He stretched his body. Suddenly he felt his throat so hot. He badly needed water. He was screaming in
pain. He was so shocked! His skin changed into scales. Just like scales of reptile. He touched his head. He felt something was growing on his head. He was completely
shocked. A horn was growing. And he also had a tail. He changed into a dragon! Meanwhile, at home Nyai Pasir also felt the same. Slowly Nyai Pasir also changed into
a dragon.
The two dragons were trying to walk but they were too weak to do that. They just could move their bodies on the ground. They moved their bodies so heavily and
it made a very big hole. The hole was getting deeper. Soon water came out of the hole. The water came out very much. And it made a lake.

decided to move the Ottoman warships overland to avoid the underwater chains installed by Roman Byzantium. In just one night, about 70 ships were able to enter the
area of the Golden Horn strait and carry out a total attack on the heart of the defense of Constantinople. On May 29, 1453, Al-Fatih with the Ottoman troops were

Rainbows can be seen when light passes through raindrops, says Kristin Calhoun, a research scientist at the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
the scientific agency focusing in part on the conditions of weather.
When a person sees a rainbow, it’s really an optical illusion created by the refraction and reflection of light. An optical illusion is when you see something that appears to
be something other than what is really there. They’re not located at a specific distance. The location is relative to the person.
When sunlight passes through raindrops, the light bends, or refracts, as it enters the droplet, and then reflects off the inside of the raindrop. This happens because the
water is denser than the air that surrounds it. As it exits the droplet, the light separates into wavelengths. Visible light is made up of various wavelengths, and
each wavelength appears as a different colour: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Red light, for example, bends at a different angle than violet light.
This is why “the person on the ground sees each colour at a different location and why rainbows look like a bow or an arc. Sometimes, however, rainbows can actually
form an entire circle that you can see in a plane with the right conditions.
Because rainbows are created by light via raindrops, the best time to catch a rainbow is when it’s sunny and raining. There is an even better chance when the sun is at a
lower angle, so early or later in the day. If you’re trying to spot one, the key is to face the rain and have your back to the sun.
Why does the person on the ground see each colour at a different location? Because....

Due to the effect that it has on the brain, social media is addictive both physically and psychologically. According to a new study by Harvard University, self-disclosure on
social networking sites lights up the same part of the brain that also ignites when taking an addictive substance. The reward area in the brain and its chemical
messenger pathways affect decisions and sensations.
This is observable in social media usage; when an individual gets a notification, such as a like or mention, the brain receives a rush of dopamine and sends it along
reward pathways, causing him or her to feel pleasure. Social media provides an endless number of immediate rewards in the form of attention from others for relatively
minimal effort. Therefore, the brain rewires itself through this positive reinforcement, making people desire likes, retweets, and emoticon reactions.
Another perpetuating factor of social media addiction is the fact that the reward centers of the brain are most active when people are talking about themselves. In real
life, it’s estimated that people talk about themselves around 30 to 40% of the time; however, social media is all about showing off one’s life and accomplishments, so
people talk about themselves a staggering 80% of the time. When a person posts a picture and gets positive social feedback, it stimulates the brain to release
dopamine, which again rewards that behavior and perpetuates the social media habit.
Social media use becomes problematic when someone views social networking sites as an important coping mechanism to relieve stress, loneliness, or depression. For
these people, social media use provides continuous rewards that they’re not receiving in real life, and end up engaging in the activity more and more. This continuous
use eventually leads to multiple interpersonal problems, such as ignoring real life relationships, work or school responsibilities, and physical health, which may then
exacerbate an individual’s undesirable moods. This then causes people to engage in the social networking behavior even more as a way of relieving dysphoric mood
states. Consequently, when social network users repeat this cyclical pattern of relieving undesirable moods with social media use, the level of psychological dependency
on social media increases.

"My lovely daughter, I have already known about your plan. Suta is just a servant while you are my daughter, the princess. It is unacceptable for you to marry a servant."
said the king.
"But I love her, and he also love me. You know, he is the one who help me out there." the princess said.
"No, you will not marry him. I will not allow that things happen." The king said.
The princess was sad to hear her father's answer, especially after her father throwed Suta in jail for having the nerve to ask the pricess to marry him. In jail, Suta was not
given anything to eat or drink.
Hearing about that, the princess made a plan to break Suta out of jail. They succeed and run far away for the kingdom. They rested near the river. There, they got married
and started a family.
The place where Suta and the princess raised their family was called Baturraden. Batur means servant while Raden means noble. Nowadays, Baturaden is very
interesting tourism spot. It's located at the foothill of Mount Slamet in Purwokerto, Central Java.

The Greeks that came to the Sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia shared the same religious beliefs and spoke the same language. The athletes were all male citizens
of the city-states from every corner of the Greek world, coming from as far away as Iberia (Spain) in the west and the Black Sea (Turkey) in the east.
The sanctuary was named in antiquity after Mt. Olympos the highest mountain in mainland Greece. In Greek mythology, Mt. Olympos was the home of the greatest of
the Greek gods and goddesses.
The ancient Olympic Games began in the year 776 BC, when Koroibos, a cook from the nearby city of Elis, won the stadion race, a foot race 600 feet long. The stadion
track at Olympia is shown here. According to some literary traditions, this was the only athletic event of the games for the first 13 Olympic festivals or until 724 BC.
From 776 BC, the Games were held in Olympia every four years for almost 12 centuries.
Contrary evidence, both literary and archaeological, suggests that the games may have existed at Olympia much earlier than this date, perhaps as early as the 10th or
9th century BC.

Firstly, by online learning people can fit them around their existing responsibilities and commitments, and can engage with multimedia content and learning materials at
whatever time is most convenient to them. Even better: they don’t have to travel anywhere to study, they can simply log in to the virtual class from the comfort of their
own home or office.
Secondly, it’s cheaper. Cost can often be a prohibitive factor in why individual students don’t enroll in courses they’re interested in. This is also an issue for corporations
who wish to encourage their employees to undergo further training but don’t have much of a budget for conferences and training courses. Online courses are easily
accessible on much smaller budgets.
In addition to the convenience and the cost, a large number of students are turning to online learning courses because they have become a better way to learn. Those
students who are serious about improving their understanding, learning new skills and gaining valuable qualifications are keen to enroll in the type of course that will be
the most effective.
So yes, I would say that online course is now more popular instead of face to face course.

The Honeymoon Stage is the first stage of culture shock, and it can often last for several weeks or even months. This is the euphoric phase when you’re fascinated by all
the exciting and different aspects of your new life – from the sights and smells to the pace of life and cultural habits. During this phase, you’re quick to identify
similarities between the new culture and your own, and you find the locals hospitable and friendly. You may even find things that would be a nuisance back home, such
as a traffic jam, amusing and charming in your new location.
Next is the negotiation stage which is characterized by frustration and anxiety. This usually hits around the three-month mark, although it can be earlier for some
individuals. As the excitement gradually disappears you are continually faced with difficulties or uncomfortable situations that may offend or make you feel
disconnected. Maybe you can’t remember the way back to your new home because the street signs are confusing, or you can’t fathom how and what to order in a
restaurant. At this point, you also start to miss your friends and family back home.
Around 6 months, you will reach adjustment stage. This is the stage where life gradually starts to get better and routine sets in. You begin to become more familiar with
the local way of life, food and customs. By this point you may have made a few friends or learnt some of the languages, helping you to adjust and better understand the
local culture.
Finally, you reach the adaptation stage; sometimes know as the bicultural stage. You now feel comfortable in your new country and better integrated – you have
successfully adapted to your new way of life. You no longer feel isolated and lonely and are used to your new daily activities and friends. When coming back to your
place, you may experience re-entry shock.

Long, long ago, the mystical land of Gondwana was beautiful, peaceful and untouched. In Gondwana, there lived Tyawan, a Clever Man of the Gundungurra people. He
had three daughters called Meenhi, Wimlah and Gunnedoo, whom he treasured above all else.
In a deep hole in the valley there lived a Bunyip, a huge evil creature who loved to feast on human flesh, particularly that of young girls and women. Its cry was
harsh and horrible as if the only safe thing to do was running away as quickly as possible. Everyone feared the Bunyip.
As everyone needed to pass its hole, it was important to creep very quietly so that it was not disturbed.
When Tyawan had to pass the hole, he would leave his daughters safely on the cliff above behind a rocky wall – just in case!
One day, waving goodbye to his daughters, he descended the cliff steps down towards the path near the Bunyip’s hole. While the girls were waiting and chatting on top
of the cliff, a huge centipede suddenly appeared. Startled, Meenhi screamed, jumped up, picked up a stone and threw it at the centipede.
The stone missed the centipede, but rolled over the edge of the cliff and, picking up speed, crashed into the valley below. The sound echoed all around the mountains.
Birds, animals and even fairies stopped still as the rocks behind the three sisters, shook and split open, leaving them perched together on a thin ledge.
The Bunyip, angry at being awakened, roared and dragged himself through the split to see the terrified sisters cowering on the ledge. His evil eyes widened in delight at
the feast before him.
Tyawan looked up and saw the Bunyip reaching for his daughters, so he pointed his magic bone at the girls and immediately turned them to stone. They would be safe
there until the Bunyip had gone and then Tyawan would change them back to their former selves.
But the Bunyip, angered at being deprived of his prey, chased Tyawan through the forest and up a mountain where he found himself trapped. So Tyawan used his magic
bone again and changed himself into a Lyre Bird and glided away. Everyone was safe. But then, in dismay, Tyawan realised that he had dropped his bone whilst
changing.
After the Bunyip had gone back to his deep dark pool, Tyawan glided down to the forest floor and searched and searched for his magic bone ... where he can still be
seen to this day, in the shape of the Lyre bird, scratching and searching the forest floors of the Blue Mountains, looking for his bone, calling to his daughters above and
feeding on insects whilst he searches.
The Three Sisters stand silently watching him from their ledge, hoping and hoping that one day their father will find his magic bone and be able turn them back to
Aboriginal girls.
