JENIS SOAL : Reading Comprehension : Explanation Text

Should Americans be forced to Public Transportation?

First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should we all
abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is it
asking if every American should do so. It is asking weather some Americans should have to
take public transit some of the time, and I would say yes.

Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York there just isn’t
room for any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow, they need more people to take
public transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One bus can safely hold 40 people so even at half
capacity that’s nearly 20 cars’ worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking
spaces that don’t need to built.

There are a lot of people that can take with transit little inconvenience but simply don’t
because they never have in the past. If residents in areas with plenty of transit had to buy
transit passes as part of their property taxes then they would have little excuse not to bus
occasionally. QA number of universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition feeds,
forcing their students to take the bus. When given the change the majority of those students
have voted to keep these programs.

A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking spaces in
exchange for a discount on their rent would also be community car to several apartment
tenants that arrange a schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive reviews.

So yes, I would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as Americans
whom are already forced to do so find that it works well for them.

How does the Water Cycle Work?
We need water to live. Water can be use for drink, bath, or wash something. Do you know how does
the water cycle work?

JENIS SOAL : Reading Comprehesion : Exposition Text.


There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly used may
cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most effective
way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the
soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and
stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects
the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen
and applied carefully so that they don’t affect the ecological balance and environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in
agriculture and livestock.
